Chapter 111 Only iron and blood can make Tubo stick together

Since Songtsen Gampo was captured and Andonaji failed to rebellion, the losses caused to Tubo are immeasurable.

Although the more than 60,000 troops buried by Chen Ying's one move were not counted, the Tubo army captured by Songtsen Gampo was as high as 80,000 troops.

Chen Ying was naturally not a good man and trusted woman. These prisoners of war became labor slaves for road construction. In addition to the men, women, young and old tribes of more than 100 tribes against Songtsen Gampo Alliance, excluding children under the age of twelve who were really unable to contribute, Chen Ying mobilized almost millions of Tubo people to start building the road.

Although it is called Chidao, Chen Ying built it according to the railway standards of later generations. The land-based railway is all double-track railway. There is no way. In the era without computers, if you want to transport trains reasonably according to the ranks, it will undoubtedly cause waste of railway resources. Only by adopting a two-way and two-track method can you effectively improve transportation capacity.

It is very difficult to build a railway in Xueyuan. At least Chen Ying did not find a large amount of easily exploitable steel, coal and other resources in Xueyuan. In fact, Xueyuan was his blind spot in later generations. Chen Ying’s understanding of Xueyuan was limited to tourism. For this reason, Chen Ying first came from Ye County, passed Nie Rong, passed Nagqu and then arrived at the Western Front of Lhasa.

At the same time, there are also Tanggula Mountains passing through Dangqu, Zaduo, forming Cubatang, crossing Tongtian River, Qingshui River (Yushu), Bayankala Mountains, and Maduo entering Hehuang.

Although Chen Ying had the golden finger of black gunpowder in his hand, he still did not use it to pave the road. Instead, he used the original method to heat it with the stone, then poured it with cold water, and adopted the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, but the stone mountain broke out bit by bit.

Of course, you can't use a chisel to chisel down little by little.

The use of millions of workers at one time is also a very huge problem. However, Chen Ying divided Tubo labor slaves into four classes, the pro-Tang Supi tribe was the first class, Lhasa took the initiative to surrender the faction as the second class, the prisoners of war performed well as the third class, and the stubborn ones were the fourth class.

The first and second grades are all supervisors, while the third grade can be the squad leader or even the squadron leader level. Chen Ying regards the work slaves as a group of ten people, five squadrons as a team, and sets up a team leader, two squadrons as a squadron, and five squadrons as a large squadron.

The food levels of each class are completely different. For example, the fourth-class work slaves work the heaviest, eat the worst meals, and barely eat 70% full. Of course, if you become a team leader, you can not only eat enough, but also have meat to eat every ten days. As for the brigade supervisor level, you can look at the food of the Tang army soldiers. Just like the buffet in later generations, you will not be limited to how much you want to eat, and at least two meats and one vegetable per meal.

Chen Ying took Guo Luo and Ma Zhou to Shule. At this time, Zhou Qing was responsible for the tiger righteousness in Shule City. At this time, the tiger righteousness not only absorbed the Sassanian Persians, Greeks, but also many people from the Byzantine Empire.

Chen Ying vaguely remembers that Jackie Chan made a junk movie "The Legend of the Sky", which has a plot that said that the Romans had outstanding achievements in mathematics and construction.

At this time, Zhou Qing was responsible for using the foreign employers of the Tiger Yicong to collect Greek craftsmen from the Byzantine Empire, documents, classics, philosophy, science, laws, technology, myths, etc.

Originally, this tiger Yi came to Shule Intelligence Center, because it needed to translate, organize and publish millions of classics, and gradually formed a research institute.

This Shule College is different from the Datang University of Technology. This college aims to study, rather than teaching and educating people like the Datang University of Technology.

With Zhou Qing's plundering at any cost, the number of people in Shule Academy gradually increased, from the first more than 300 people to the present more than 6,000 people. Among them, there are many famous teachers and masters who are proficient in machinery. Chen Ying also plundered more than 100 excellent craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty. Inspired by Chen Ying's teapot theory, he developed steam engines.

At this time, the development of steam engines had a primary foundation, mainly because Datang's steel technology made qualitative breakthroughs. After the emergence of high manganese steel, high carbon steel, silicon steel, spring steel, bearing steel, etc., Datang University of Technology successively developed more than 100 alloy steels.

The foundation of industry is actually not a machine or a theoretical industry, but a material. It is explained very clearly in the "Material Empire" by the great master Qi Cheng. Without materials, any progress is a castle in the air.

For example, many people probably don’t know about the most inconspicuous ballpoint pens in later generations. There are more than 3,000 pen making companies in China, with a population of more than 200,000, and an annual production of more than 40 billion ballpoint pens... China has become a well-deserved pen making country, but behind a series of proud numbers is the embarrassing situation where core technologies and materials are highly dependent on imports and low-quality counterfeit products are flooded. A large number of "ball beads" with ballpoint pen tips still need to be imported. It was not until the previous year that China obtained the industrial production of "bead balls". Whether it can replace imports still needs to be tested.

Chen Ying naturally knew the principle of the musket, and even asked him to guide craftsmen to build a flintlock rifle without any problem. The key is that the materials are not up to standard. I am afraid that it will not be clear whether this musket will hurt the enemy or the one who has already been injured.

However, Chen Ying has made outstanding achievements in materials now. It can also be said that since Chen Ying, a butterfly in another world, has not studied this aspect due to survival pressure, except for just two years before the beginning of Wude.

However, with Chen Ying's status and wealth increasing, Chen Ying invested a lot in materials, not only because of steel, but also in other materials, such as when refining crude oil, lubricating oil had successfully appeared. Although the quality was not as good as in later generations, the lubricating oil produced by Chen Ying had monopolized the axles of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Especially for bearings and shock absorbing devices, except for a few remote areas, the original bushing wheels are almost impossible to see.

This time Chen Ying went to Shule because Zhou Qing heard from news that Byzantine's chief engineer of the steam engine project R&D, Byzantine, made breakthrough progress, which made Chen Ying unable to wait to go to Shule.

Just as Chen Ying left Lhasa, he rode a fast horse and broke into the Yalong Valley, which was the birthplace of the Tubo people. There is also the secret teaching hall of Bon religion and the last remnants of the Tubo Dynasty.

Nowadays, Tubo not to mention completing the great cause of unifying the snow plateau, whether it can survive is a very serious problem. As the only fugitive minister of the Tubo Dynasty, Tunmi Alu was a little excited.

After receiving the news that Chen Ying left Lhasa, Tunmi Alu looked at Yu Wenhua carefully and said, "National Master, what should we do now?"

Yu Wenji said, "For the sake of the present, there are only two ways to choose."

Tunami Aru hurriedly asked, "What choice?"

Yu Wenhe pondered: "One of the things is to send envoys to seek peace from Li Tang, and rest for a while, so as to repay him later."

Tunami Aru shook his head and said, "This is simply impossible!"

Chen Ying was simply trustworthy when Andonaji used his death to prove something to Tunmi Alu for more than 60,000 lives. In fact, although Andonaji rebelled and sent people to deceive others, the most fundamental reason was that Chen Ying was untrustworthy. He also intentionally or unintentionally forced Andonaji to rebel, the purpose was to raise the butcher knife and make the originally weak Tubo hurt even more.

Yu Wenhua and smiled gently, showing a nightmare smile and said, "As for the second thing, it is nothing more than going west again. Now King Jie Ri is attacking Degan. Anyway, the tribes here have almost been killed by Chen Ying. If we stay here, we can only annex some small tribes, which is not very meaningful. It is better to go west. In fact, among these two methods, it is best to seek peace first."

Tunmi Alu sighed and said, "Forget it, while Chen Ying is not in Xueyuan, there are only more than one million tribes left in our Tubo tribes. It is much better than running east to provoke the Tang Dynasty. If we don't integrate the various tribes of Tubo first, we will not be able to defeat the Tang people."

However, when he thought of integrating the various Tubo tribes, Tunmi Alu felt a headache. More than 100 Tubo tribes and more than 100 hearts, some were willing to follow Chen Ying and become dogs, especially those Tubo people who were responsible for supervising their work in the road. Their methods toward Tubo compatriots were simply outrageous.

After the movement was a little slower, the whips in their hands were whipped up. These whips were not only covered with barbs, but also soaked in salt water. Once the whip was whipped, it was so sour... let alone. Now, when the road was in full swing, hundreds of people were killed and injured every day, and almost ninety percent were the brutes of these Tubo supervisors.

Of course, the Tubo people fought in their nests, and the Tang people were also happy to read jokes.

As for the other wave of people, they did not surrender or arrived, and they could not afford to mess with others. There were not many other places in the snow-capped land, but there were many mountains and valleys. Just looking for a cat was so tired that the Tang people and the others could not find it.

However, there are not a few tribes that are unwilling to surrender to the Tang people, but they are very few, even less than one-tenth.

Thinking of this, Tunmi Alu said angrily: "It's not easy to integrate Tubo!"

Yu Wenhua and smiled faintly, "We in the Central Plains... actually experienced disputes. When King Ping of Zhou moved eastward, the Zhou family began to decline, and only retained the name of the common ruler of the world, without actual control. Due to different social and economic conditions, the situation of great powers competing for hegemony among the great powers appeared. From the seventy-one vassal states in the early Zhou Dynasty to the later Spring and Autumn Period, there were more than eight hundred princes. After more than four hundred years of melee, the seven kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, Han, Chu, Qi, Qin and Yan were formed. It was not until Emperor Qin Shi Huang appeared that he unified the world!"

Tunmi Alu vaguely heard this story. Of course, the Central Plains were too far away and his understanding was always limited. He hurriedly asked: "How did Emperor Qin Shi unified the Central Plains?"

Yu Wenhe said lightly: "It's very simple, one force will reduce ten goals!"

The most fundamental reason why the Qin Dynasty could unify the six kingdoms was that the Qin State was too strong, and the six kingdoms in Shandong were afraid of Qin like tigers, and they were afraid of it before fighting. In later generations, they were generally believed that Qin crossbows, Qin armor, and Qin-made weapons and equipment were advanced in the six kingdoms in Shandong. In fact, this is wrong. South Korea is afraid of its famous weapons and crossbows. The so-called "the strong bows and crossbows in the world all come from Han", South Korea's crossbows can shoot 600 steps (about 800 meters away), "the far away covers the hole's chest, and the nearest ones are dysfunctional."

In addition, South Korea's swords are also extremely sharp, all of which are "cut off cattle and horses on land, and cut off swans and geese on water", and "when the enemy, they will cut off the iron curtain of armor and armor."

The strongest country in South Korea was when Han Zhaohou was reigned. He used the Legalists' Shen Buhe as prime minister, and his internal affairs were clear, so that South Korea became a well-off government. Because he was located in the Central Plains, the place of four wars, and was surrounded by Wei, Qi, Chu and Qin, there was no room for development at all, and the territory was also the smallest among the seven countries. He was the first to be destroyed and died without fighting.

Yu Wenhe took more than an hour to tell Tunmi Alu that Qin Qiang was strong in morale because of the establishment of the military merit system. Qin Unification was in line with the people's yearning for a stable life and the wishes of the emerging feudal landlord class...
