Chapter 571 Next step

It's already the beginning of spring, but it's of no use in the north. It snows when it's time to snow.

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to say it's in our hands, but it's definitely tighter than before. If His Highness gives you any order, it will definitely spread throughout the grassland within ten days. We are also the most elite troops dispatched. If so, If the number of rebels does not exceed 10,000 cavalry, there is no need for us to mobilize troops from outside."

Niu Jinda said with great confidence that the number of personnel stationed in each military station varies, but the combat effectiveness is also very strong. If there are those who want to rebel without opening their eyes, then we can let them see the combat effectiveness of Datang at any time.

"Has the northernmost arrangement been made?"

Li Xiang sent Huo Tang to the far north. They had already seen the northernmost sea, and then selected some more livable places and set up a military station there.

"Huo Tang's boy did it. There are not many people in the military station over there. There are only 150 people living in three places."

Fang Yiai took out another report. This was just received yesterday. The weather in the northern region is cold and the wind is very strong. Even in summer, local people have to wear long clothes and long trousers. .

Li Xiang knows that these areas are of little use for the time being, but there will be a lot of minerals down there in the future. If we don't send people to station them first, we may be able to take advantage of the Russians at any time. Li Xiang will never take advantage of them. .

"This part of their supplies must be kept separately, especially some items that have a long shelf life. They need to reserve supplies for more than half a year. Once winter comes, the reserve time must reach eight months. They would rather rot. Give them more as well.”

In the northernmost outpost, the situation there should be the worst. These people are stationed there for the Tang Dynasty, and we cannot deprive them of their daily necessities.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been arranged. At this time, priority will be given to their side. Some other military stations can still get people through in winter, but their side can't get through at all."

Fang Yiai came back from there on a fast horse. Even if he didn't rest every day, it would take more than twenty days to get back. The carts transporting supplies moved even slower, and it would take two months to get there. , so each time the person delivering supplies had to eat half of the food along the way.

The imperial court specially recruited more than 200 large trucks to deliver things to more than 100 of them. This could guarantee their supply for half a year. Of course, there were also many animals in some surrounding areas, and they could also make a living by shooting animals.

However, Li Xiang has already issued an order. The game around them allows them to adjust their lives. All necessities still have to be transported from the mainland. We cannot just eat the game around.

Moreover, Li Xiang also issued an order that the prey they hunted did not require labor, and all kinds of furs could be transported to Chang'an through the logistics system. All the money sold belonged to them, and the court would not charge a dime of tax, including Shipping charges included.

When Li Xiang's order arrived, the local soldiers were extremely happy. You must know that furs worth thousands of gold in Chang'an City are nothing in their place. As long as they are a little diligent, everyone can get them in a year. Several skins.

There is a reason for Li Xiang to do this, that is, he hopes that these people can go and station there. It would be better if they could settle in the same place. However, this situation is difficult. Even in the 21st century, this The population in this area is also very sparse.

"The situation here has almost been arranged. Your Highness, are you going to Chang'an or Gaochang?"

Niu Jinda thought of another thing. Li Xiang couldn't stay on the grassland forever. It turned out that a complete defense system had not been built. Now that it has been established, Li Xiang should also think about the next step.

"The memorial has been sent. If the Emperor agrees, then Huo Tang will be the Protector of Beiting, and I will have to return to Chang'an."

Li Xiang has his own ideas. Now that Goguryeo has almost been reorganized and the naval dock has been built, Li Xiang will take the next step, which is the Eastern Expedition to Fusang.

Li Xiang had already had such an idea when he was rectifying the navy earlier, but he had never put it into practice. In addition, what happened to Xue Yantuo, he had to settle the matter in the north first, and then go Thinking about the sea.

Nowadays, Fusang admires the Tang Dynasty very much, and constantly sends envoys to the Tang Dynasty. The relationship between the two countries is also relatively good. If Li Xiang rashly proposed the Eastern Conquest of Fusang, then I am afraid that many people in the court would be dissatisfied.

So Li Xiang planned to bypass them this time and start a war privately without the consent of these people. The Dengzhou Navy was owned by Li Xiang from top to bottom, and Fuso's current strength was not very good. It would only take half a year to a year for the division's warships to knock on the door of their country, and conquering them would be a piece of cake.

"Your Highness, Su Dingfang has gone to Gaochang with us, so..."

Niu Jinda said with some embarrassment, things here are almost busy now, there is no need to leave it here. Fang Yiai is specially responsible for cleaning up its tail, so just leave it here by itself.

"Don't worry, you have a special use."

Although Li Xiang didn't say clearly where it was, Niu Jinda had already taken the reassurance pill. Our Highness always has something to say. Since His Highness has said so, it means that the next road has been arranged, so we will Just wait and wait.

It’s just that Niu Jinda is a little confused. He doesn’t know where Li Xiang will go next. Apart from Gaochang, there is probably no other place where he can take action. Originally, Tubo was a formidable enemy, but after several visits by His Highness, After the defeat, Tubo is now not a second-rate country, but it poses no threat to us.

It is normal for Niu Jinda to have such thoughts. After all, judging from the entire Tang Dynasty, no one thought about occupying Fusang.

In the eyes of people like them, the territory of Goguryeo is a barren land, not to mention the small islands overseas. What is the use of their land in the rich Tang Dynasty? You might have to keep them after you get them.

However, Li Xiang knew that many people he hated would be born on that land, so before those people were born, they had to be destroyed first. This is the privilege of a time traveler!
