The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 427 Even if you become a pair of pants, you have to fix them!
The fighting power displayed by Tang Jun in Tuyuhun shocked everyone.

Everyone knows that Tang Jun can fight, but they have never thought that they can fight like this.

Even the long-distance pursuit ability, which has always been regarded as a weakness, has achieved unprecedented performance in this battle.

Before Li Jing and the others attacked Jieli on a snowy night, traveling for more than a thousand miles was an attack, not a pursuit.

However, the pursuit of Fuyun Khan this time showed the strength of the Tang army without a doubt.

After madly chasing Fuyun Khan for hundreds of miles, chasing him to the point where he was exhausted after changing his mount continuously, Tang Jun defeated the nomadic tribes where they were best at.

Those who are interested will know after in-depth understanding that this strength so strong that it makes the nomadic tribe stand on end is not luck that fell from the sky, let alone the extraordinary performance of a group of brave men.

Tang Jun is tough from the inside out, from top to bottom, from the whole to the individual.

During the Zhenguan period, people's livelihoods withered due to the turmoil in various places in the previous dynasty, and the people were able to fully distribute land to recuperate.

The aristocratic family was suppressed, so they chose to keep a low profile for the time being.

The civil official group has not yet made its mark, and when it faced the military aristocratic group, it was severely suppressed.

In the past few years, the weather has been good, and the materials and technology provided by Li Yunze have greatly enriched the living standards of the people in Tang Dynasty, at least the people in Guanzhong.

The government soldiers, mainly Guanzhong Liangjiazi, not only have sufficient training, but also have unprecedented powerful equipment and logistical support.

New farm tools, magical seeds, water irrigation systems, a large number of cattle, unprecedented pesticides, etc., have greatly liberated the hours of work for farmers in the fields.

When the farmers were free, the Tang government was not idle.

In addition to organizing corvee service, the government soldiers also had time to strengthen their training.

The degree of organization of the farming nation is unimaginable for nomadic tribes. As long as it can be organized reasonably and effectively, its combat effectiveness is far beyond imagination.

Li Yunze provided new equipment, from the Don River Sharma to the three-piece cavalry suit, from pancakes to pastures, etc., which greatly improved the combat capabilities of the cavalry.

In addition, there are new types of armor, mainly plate armor, which are lighter in weight, better in defense, and easier to build and maintain.

When the water conservancy forging machine appeared, Tang Jun's armor level got a qualitative leap.

As for steel knives and guns, it's not that important.

What satisfied Tang Jun most, from generals to sergeants, was the unprecedented abundance of logistical supplies.

In the past, when the Tang army went to war, Hubing and cold rice balls were their staple food.

For seasonings, the only thing that can barely guarantee the supply is rough salt, and other things, that is, the general level may be able to enjoy meat sauce or something.

It is commonplace among the Tang army to reduce staff because of poor food.

But now it is different. The soldiers of the Tang army eat real polished rice, and the iron pots carried by the army can cook and fry rice.

In addition to polished rice, there are also fried noodles, which also benefited from the emergence of iron pots and their large-scale popularity, allowing Tang Jun to eat hot food at any time.

Among the materials carried by the army, there are also a large amount of briquettes and kerosene with combustion enhancers, which are convenient for living and cooking hot food at any time.

In addition to hot food, Tang Jun's logistical support also included extravagant salt, oil and various spices.

These seasonings can not only supplement the various nutrients that the body urgently needs, but also can greatly improve the morale of the soldiers.

The dried meat and cheese directly distributed to each sergeant, paired with a jug of wine with sugar can ensure that the sergeants can have sufficient supplies at any time during the long march.

The improvement of food quality, as well as the sufficient guarantee in quantity, naturally brought about a soaring combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Tang army.

In addition to food, clothing is also extremely important military resources.

There is no barracks house for lodging when you are away on an expedition. Basically, you sleep outside most of the time.

Sleeping in the wild, at night, it is really bitingly cold.Downsizing due to frostbite is a routine operation.As for what sequelae it left behind, there are countless.

In addition to adequate supply of tents, the emergence of cotton-padded clothes and quilts can be called a subversive upgrade to keep out the cold.

In the past, linen clothes were wrapped with reed catkins, and the warming effect of this thing can only be said to be slightly better than nothing.

But thick cotton-padded clothes are different from quilts. Wearing cotton-padded clothes can continue to march on cold days. When sleeping, close the tent and wear cotton-padded clothes to wrap the quilt tightly. It is really warmer than sleeping on the kang at home.

In addition to food, clothing and housing, Tang Jun's marching ability has also been greatly improved.

This aspect is mainly due to the emergence of Sharma and carriages.

The Sharma is more popular among the Tang army than the Don horse as a war horse.

Because this kind of tall horse in the true sense can drag thousands of catties of goods!
The material dragged by a horse is equivalent to the transport capacity of more than a hundred civilian men, and the food consumption it eats is far less than that of more than a hundred civilian men.

Such a handsome thing, everyone likes it.

The appearance of the four-wheeled carriage directly raised Tang Jun's transportation capacity to a higher level.

A four-wheeled carriage equipped with shock-absorbing springs and steering devices can carry thousands of catties of goods.In particular, its wheels use iron as the bone and rubber tires as the skin, which can travel on bad roads, which has an unimaginable role in improving the logistics of the Tang army.

The large-scale improvement of transportation capacity is the foundation of guaranteeing logistics supply.

The Tang army can transport far more various materials than before with fewer civilians.

With sufficient protection, it is no surprise that the Tang army was invincible when fighting.

And the most widely circulated news in the army recently is the construction of the railway.

Many people have worked on the railway from Chang'an City to Shengzhou. Naturally, they know how terrible the transportation capacity of that terrifying mechanism beast is if it is activated.

Many people are saying that if the railway is built on the battlefield, it will be difficult to lose.

Among the many people who talked about the railway, Hou Junji was the one who cared the most.

The so-called Gaochang State is actually Turpan.

From Chang'an City to here, the long road is more than thousands of miles.

Hou Junji set off from Chang'an City with a large army, and first arrived at Lanzhou, where he split up with Li Jing, Li Jing went to fight Tuyuhun, and Hou Junji continued westward all the way to Xining.

After passing Xining, travel along the vast West Sea (Qinghai Lake), pass through the gathering places of many Zahu tribes, and then arrive at Zhangye.

Zhangye is already extremely far away from Chang'an City, but the distance to Gaochang Kingdom is still less than half the distance.

After making some adjustments here in Zhangye, the army continued westward to Jiayuguan.

At this time in Tuyuhun, Li Jing had already defeated Khan Fuyun's main force, and the poor Khan who was chasing him had nowhere to go.

Hou Junji was still on a difficult march, passing many well-known and unknown small country city-states and various tribes along the way, and he really rushed to the point of despair.

Arriving in Guazhou, passing through Dunhuang, exiting Yumen Pass, and then passing through Xingxing Gorge, when the soldiers of the Tang army felt that their legs were about to break, they could be regarded as arriving in the territory of Gaochang Kingdom.

At this time, Hou Junji, who was full of wind and frost, received a telegram from Chang'an City in the rear.

It is not an important military order, but an important activity that passes through the front line.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Tian Khan of the grassland tribe, the protector of the Western Regions, the ruler of Champa, the ruler of Nanyang and other countries, Li Er, who is admired by all people, brought Fuyun Khan Jieli Khan and other noble envoys, Depart from Chang'an City by train, go to Shengzhou to cross the river and
The tribes of the steppe can hunt.

Seeing this telegram, Hou Junji had the phrase 'MMP' in his mind, wondering if he should say it or not.

"Why should the railway be built in Shengzhou?" Hou Junji rolled his eyes to the sky. "Why not build it here in Gaochang? Even if it is built to Yumen Pass, it can be built to Dunhuang."

In fact, Hou Junji felt that even if he got to Lanzhou, it would be good if he could save a short distance.

Hou Junji, who was very angry, quickly sent a telegram to Li Er. He wrote a long-winded article, without any regard for the sky-high fee of five hundred Wen for one word. The only requirement was that Repair the railway to the Western Regions.

Traveling through mountains and rivers for thousands of miles to fight the war, I really couldn't bear it.

If there is no railway, it will be fine, there is no such thought at all.

But obviously there is a railway but there is no need for it, so I feel so angry.

In the blink of an eye, the telegram traveled thousands of miles and arrived at a secret place in the palace.

In the heavily guarded telegraph room, Hou Junji's telegram was translated, and soon a secret envoy hurried out of the palace to find the emperor under the guard of the palace ban.

As the emperor on horseback, Li Er was very concerned about the war.

It has already been stated clearly, but any telegrams from the front line, no matter what time and place, even if he is in London with his concubines, or in Chugong, must be delivered to him as quickly as possible.

The secret envoy didn't dare to neglect, and rushed out of Chang'an City to the train station at high speed.

Fortunately, Li Er's special train just left slowly.

The emissary with the gold medal rushed through the security circle, ran onto the platform and chased the train all the way.

The speed of the train was very slow at this time, and the secret envoy holding the gold medal was standing at the door of the carriage. Chang He, who was in charge of security work, dragged him onto the train.

"[-] urgent telegrams from the front line of Gaochang!"

As soon as these words came out, the carriage specially built for Li Er fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned to the secret envoy.

Li Er, whose complexion sank, took the message and opened it to browse.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face.

The originally oppressive atmosphere in the carriage eased instantly.

"It's nothing serious." Li Er smiled and handed the telegram to Li Yunze who was reading a book.

After reading the telegram, Li Yunze also laughed, "How dare you say it, if you build the railway to Gaochang, Duke Du pawned the crotch (pants) and couldn't afford the construction fee."

Du Ruhui on the side smiled wryly. He, the Minister of the Household Department, now has a severe headache when he hears that he needs to spend money.

"The railway still needs to be repaired."

Li Erlue murmured, "In order to ensure the long-term stability of the Western Regions, the railway must be built. As for the lack of money."

Having said that, Li Er looked at Du Ruhui.

This glance really made Du Ruhui flustered, he hurriedly turned his head to look out of the car window, pretending not to see it.

Li Er also smiled, but his words were extremely firm.

"If you become a pair of pants, you have to fix them!"
