Looking at June, even the wheat in Qinzhou, located in the northwest, has been harvested, and the mainland has completed the harvest early. From Xuping to Sansi, we began to concentrate the surplus grains from various routes to the scheduled departure point. It has been accumulated for a few years and the quantity has been quite considerable. Chuanxia 4th Road is a place to supply Qinfeng Road, and it has started to be transported to the concentration point.

The fourth road of Chuanxia Road is basically equivalent to Sichuan, Chongqing and Hanzhong in Xu Ping's previous life, which is also the origin of the name Sichuan. The main body of Yizhou Road is in the Chengdu Plain, Zizhou Road is in the east of Sichuan, Kuizhou Road is in Chongqing, and Lizhou Road includes northern Sichuan and Hanzhong. The grain and food resources that are transported should be concentrated in Xingyuan Prefecture and Xingzhou. Xingyuan Prefecture is Hanzhong in Xu Ping's previous life, and Xingzhou is Lueyang in his previous life. Xingyuan Prefecture corresponds to Fengxiang Prefecture, and Xingzhou is the departure place for the materials required by Fengxiang Prefecture and Qinzhou.

At this time, the Transportation Command and the Transportation Command of Lizhou Road were in Lizhou, namely Guangyuan in Xu Ping's previous life. In order to facilitate the transportation management of materials, a new Transportation Command was established, with Pang Ji as the acting leader and stationed in Xingyuan Prefecture.

On this day, Xu Ping was handling chores in the commander's mansion. Li Zhang brought in a document and said to Xu Ping: "Jiangshuai, the fourth route of Xingyuan Prefecture transferred documents and said that the fourth route of Chuanxia has been drought and rainy since the beginning of summer, and it is difficult to plant autumn grain. Pang Cao Envoy meant whether to keep some food in various routes to prevent disasters in autumn."

Xu Ping took the official document and said after reading it: "Chuanxia 4th Road supplies Qinfeng Road, and the surplus grain is transported. This must be clear. The grain used for disaster preparation is usually closed and not included in the shipping list. You send this article to Wang Gongchen and ask him to write a reply, so that Pang Ji can prepare the food for disaster relief after the autumn, and the remaining ones will be shipped. After the text is drawn up, I will read it here and use a seal. By the way, tell Wang Gongchen that the food on Chuanxia 4th Road has been less, so let him pay attention to ensuring that the cost of Qinfeng Road is complete."

Li Zhang turned to the promise and went out to find Wang Gongchen with the official documents.

Since arriving in Qinzhou, Wang Gongchen has been dealing with land camps and farming in the surrounding areas, arranging land to cultivate and plant grains. He has been very busy recently and has returned to Qinzhou for permanent residence. He also has a yamen in the Shuaisi, which is convenient for handling affairs.

This year is the first year of Qinfeng Road development. Because in the past few years, whether it is Shaanxi Road or Sichuan Gorge 4th Road, they have saved up several years of food and food resources. The arrival of Sichuan Gorge is less and there is no big impact. Of course, if it is a disaster for several years, then Xu Ping will not be able to hold on here. It is just a year of famine, which will not make Qin Feng Road stretched.

When asked Li Zhang to go out, Xu Ping took a map near Qinzhou drawn by the Bridge and Road Office staff brought by Lu Fang recently, especially the road from Qingshui County to Longzhou. Xu Ping ordered them to conduct a special investigation.

The capital of Guanzhong in the Han and Tang Dynasties, Longyou was condescending to Guanzhong, which was of particular importance to the court. Guanlong Avenue, which connects the two places, had special strategic value. There were countless historical events that had far-reaching influence on later generations. Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was only famous in later generations, and his influence was not yet high. Li He once wrote a poem: "Why not take Wu Gou to collect the fifty states of Guanshan Mountain?" The so-called Guanshan is a high mountain grassland on Guanlong Avenue, called Guanshan Pasture. It was an important herding land for the imperial court since the Han and Tang Dynasties. It was located in Longzhou and was abandoned at this time.

The horse farms were surrounded by Qinzhou, Hehuang and Hexi were even more of the horse prisons of the Tang Dynasty. A great horse was produced in Qingtang. An important reason was that the excellent population of Tang horses remained here. The imperial court set up a field to buy horses in Yongning Village, west of Qinzhou. Since the war with Dangxiang, all the horse farms on Hedong Road were abandoned. Now the only source of horses left is Qinzhou. Unlike history, the court now has no shortage of tea and silk in its hands, but the number of horses that can be bought is always limiting, which is more than 10,000 horses a year.

The imperial guards lacked horses. Although Xu Ping controlled the only source of war horses on Qinfeng Road, he could not deduct the horses. The shares set by the court must be handed over as much as possible. Qinzhou also needs more cavalry, so Xu Ping could only find a way.

At this time, one-fifth of the troops on Qinfeng Road, Xuanwei Army and Guiming Shenwu Army were cavalry, and after arriving in Qinzhou, they slowly found ways to complete the war horses and got rid of the dilemma of being a few people and one horse when they were in the capital. The other imperial guards, Shenhu, Poche and Qingbian crossbowmen were all infantry, with only Guangrui Army and only one commander. The cavalry mainly relies on foreign soldiers, and their military name was Fanluo. Qinzhou had a total of seventeen commanders, about seven thousand people, all of which were horse-drawn cavalry. Of course, the main body of the foreign soldiers was infantry, with a total of about 30,000 people, which was the main military force before Qinzhou.

The British soldiers can fight, but it is only for defense. Once they have to fight out, the result will be hard to say. The border generals and ministers swore to ask the court to expand the proportion of imperial guards and foreign soldiers in the army, and try to recruit local people. For example, Xia Shu also listed various reasons for one, two, three, four, and five, which were all based on defensive operations. They had never thought about fighting.

If Xu Ping wants to explore, he cannot follow the ideas of those people. In particular, he needs to change the political system of the surrounding foreign countries and change their customs. The deterrence of the foreign soldiers is unreliable. If it is not done well, it is not impossible to fight back. Now, what Xu Ping is most urgent in military affairs is to expand the proportion of the imperial guards, and then integrate the foreign soldiers and achieve regularization. Only when military preparations are completed can major political changes begin. Military is the continuation of politics, and it also needs to protect political actions. Without military deterrence, no matter how good Xu Ping thinks of a good policy, it is just a joke in the eyes of the surrounding foreign leaders.

That day, Zhong Shiheng asked correctly. The camps that train protons were not temporary. They would not only continue, but also greatly expanded. They used these camps to train qualified seeds and scattered them into the surrounding Qian Qiang people's burial together with the political reforms of the General's Mansion to the Fandao. This is what Xu Ping must do. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Those who block this process will be crushed and thrown into the garbage dump of history. What guarantees all this is a powerful military force.

Looking at the map on the table, Xu Ping pressed his hand to the intersection of the two river valleys on both sides of Xiaolong Mountain, where the Guanshan grassland is. The military forces of Qinzhou will be inspected there soon.

Since he arrived in Qinzhou, Xu Ping remained silent and followed the old system of the surrounding foreign lands, without any action. On the contrary, the other routes, especially Fan Yong, who was in the Fuyan Road, encouraged his generals and schools to constantly invade and erode the surrounding foreign lands, causing panic. In Xu Ping's eyes, it was either that he could not develop, or that he would set up a border strategy, or that he would do such a thing. However, the external development must have a clear political line and strong military guarantees. It cannot be like a child fighting. There is no structure here and there. If you have no structure here, you will be caught by the enemy and cause a big disaster.

During this day of unmoving troops, Xu Ping did three things. First, he understood the geographical and personal feelings of the surrounding foreign lands, and drew detailed maps as much as possible, and found all possible march routes and all possible battlefields where wars could occur. The imperial guards were a guest army and were not familiar with the geography, so he first made up for this disadvantage. Second, he was trained by the subordinate imperial guards. Except for the unmoved foreign troops, all the imperial guards, whether they were from the capital or the imperial guards stationed here, were reorganized, trained, and added the corresponding officials to ensure that the general's office had complete control over them. Third, he was to conduct experiments with the protons of Qinzhou as the object, and explore appropriate policies for the transformation of foreign lands into Xia, as well as specific rules and regulations and practices.

Now, these three things have initially emerged, and Xu Ping is waiting for a change node. This node is not difficult to find, and that is when Liu Huan, Lu Fang and others returned from Qingtang missions and brought back the love of Hehuang Fan.

At that time, Xu Ping would hold an imperial guards exercise on the Guanshan Grassland and officially launch the strategic operation of Hehuang.

Why don’t a man take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan? The first thing Xu Ping wants to take back is the dozens of states of Hehuang.
