Chapter 178 Hetao, Northwest Great Industrial Zone
The Yellow River winds and flows, giving birth to the descendants of China, but it is also a river that breeds suffering. The so-called Yellow River has many harms and only profits is the vast Donghetao Plain in front of us (the Hetao Plain in the Han Dynasty was actually part of Inner Mongolia, close to Shanxi and Shaanxi). It is the most abundant place of water and grass. Even the surging and roaring Yellow River becomes gentle, clear and gentle on this heaven-given land. Several tributaries irrigate from the plateau, nurturing a fertile and fertile grassland. The Southern Xiongnu lived in the east of this fertile land, connecting Sizhou to the south and Bingzhou to the east and west. As a guardian dog of the Han court, it defended the Xianbei aliens in the north for the Han family.
However, in recent years, the Han court has declined and the rise of the Xianbei people has fallen into disputes here, becoming a place where the Southern Xiongnu, Qianghu and the central Xianbei tribes have been constantly fighting. Around the sovereignty of this plump grassland, the tribes on the grassland have experienced countless fighting and fighting, and the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu also declined.
Xiahou Yuan and his cavalry battalion are now stationed in the west of the Donghetao Plain, overlooking this vast grassland.
Before the heavy snow had stopped, Li Zhe dispatched the Xiahou cavalry because of the news from Bingzhou that after Zhang Yan occupied Xihe County in Bingzhou, he bordered the Southern Xiongnu again. The Southern Xiongnu Huchuquan Shanyu sent a message to Zhang Yan, willing to regain his clan and surrender to the central court, and was controlled by the imperial court. The only premise was to ask the central court to send troops to help him take back the Hetao Plain in the eastern part, which was granted to the Southern Xiongnu horses.
After consideration, Li Zhe and a group of ministers revised the offensive plan of the northern grassland based on this new situation, and partially accepted Hu Chuquan's proposal, ordering Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Yan to send troops from the east and west respectively to attack Donghetao, and take down this place first.
In the tent of Xiahou Yuan's army, the charcoal fire was raging and the fire was extinguished, and the faces of several people were looming in it.
"Uncle! Now the situation is that the Ming King's army is becoming more and more powerful. From west to east to south to north, there is no resistance. Did the uncle mean to surrender?
After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan looked helpless, "If you don't want to do anything to me at any time, my husband Meng De's family is a hero, but his noble Prince Ming is even more wise and powerful. Not only is he powerful in military affairs, but his literary affairs are also sages! Although our Xiahou family and Cao family have produced many talents, they can finally not compete with the world's general trend!"
At this time, the tent was full of Xiahou Yuan's own relatives, and there was no taboo. Xiahou Yuan's words were extremely miserable and desolate, and it was touching. Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they heard it.
"Uncle wise!" Unexpectedly, the young man looked neither sad nor happy after hearing this. "Actually, I had this intention long ago and wanted to tell my uncle apart. Since I joined Li Zhe's army, I have known that Li Zhe's system is powerful! Pastors, military pay, medal levels, and logistics are so powerful that people can't do anything at all. In this way, the morale in the army has not decreased but increased, and everyone has bravely fought in battles! In this case, our generals have no worries. Just fight with all their hearts, they can get both fame and profit, and gain wealth and prosperity in peace. Such a system cannot be done by people with true wisdom and wisdom in the world, and it is really hard to have a peek."
"Well, it's not bad! I think Duke Meng De had probably seen this trick, so that we could enter his army with peace of mind, not worrying about his death and being cooked by dogs. Alas! From ancient times to the present, the military system has not changed, and the monarch and ministers have always been suspicious of each other. For thousands of years, many heroes and heroes have regretted it! Li Mu, Wang Jian, Han Xin, Ying Bu, all the famous generals of ancient times ended up like this. The King of Ming was able to create such a system, which could be regarded as pointing out a clear path for military generals. But he is not only better than Duke Meng De! Alas! Forget it! Since that's the case, let's put down all the thoughts and build an iron-cast country for our Han family! With our talents, it is not impossible to leave a name in history! You young people, you must work even harder!"
At this time, another young man came up and said, "My uncle's words are so sensible! My nephew also agreed very much, but I still wanted to ask my uncle! Now that our army has defeated the Qiang and Hu, we are about to conquer the Southern Xiongnu, and will soon restore the boundaries of the heyday of the Han Dynasty. But seeing the Ming King's intention, there is no intention to withdraw the troops. Uncle, where are you going to attack next?"
Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a while, smiled and said, "Oh? Haha! When it comes to this matter, I don't know. I only know that the stage in this world will become extremely vast under the command of the Ming King, and it will be enough for us generals to gallop. If this continues, our achievements will be far better than those of the great man. Perhaps our achievements in the future will be beyond those of the famous general Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the previous dynasty! In today's world, it is actually the prosperous era of our martial arts!"
Xiahou Yuan's words suddenly shocked the two juniors of the Cao family, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, and two teenagers, Qianliju, who followed Xiahou Yuan's thoughts and thoughts for thousands of miles!
...
Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.
The former royal forbidden area of Weiyang Palace has now changed color. The roofs of the main halls are covered with large tracts of solar panels. In order to solve the problem of insufficient power, Li Zhe had to launch a large-scale solar power generation plan and establish power supply centers in various administrative centers to specifically focus on solving the power supply problem.
Although solar photovoltaic power generation in modern space-time still has problems such as low efficiency and high cost, it is already extremely simple to use a small-scale family. It is the best solution for Li Zhe today. In the Three Kingdoms Space-Time, there is no electromagnetics in the local area. If Li Zhe smuggles alone, whether it is hydropower or current diesel engine power generation, there are many problems. Weighing the pros and cons, the latest solution of solar energy is simpler and more practical. After all, Li Zhe's use is just to play movies and use some small-power electrical appliances. As for the so-called environmental protection, it is an additional discount. The current Three Kingdoms Space-Time does not need to consider that issue.
The use of large-scale solar panel power generation as an energy center, equipped with a large number of batteries and battery packs, and a power supply center is established to solve the power consumption problem in a region. This is the solution for large-scale power equipment power consumption initiated by Li Zhe.
Chang'an is the first pilot project. Most of the current Weiyang Palace has been designated as an office area for the official office, and only a small number of the most beautiful places are retained as Li Zhe's bedroom. Under the circumstances of large-scale renovation, it is just a matter of taking the opportunity to establish this energy center to solve the electricity consumption problem in the entire Chang'an area.
...
In Chang'an, his heart is tolerant of the world. As a pioneering monarch, he rarely has time to truly belong to him. So, the military problems in the entire northwest region have been solved, and the problem of industrial economic planning has been put on the agenda. If this is not solved, it will be difficult for Li Zhe to truly leave. Chang'an's geography determines that it will be a long-term political, economic and military center, and it will not work without a perfect plan.
When inspecting the resource conditions around Chang'an, the nearby coal resources are rich and there are many other resources, but unfortunately, iron ore is relatively scarce and is not the best place to establish a military industry.
However, the northwest has sufficient light and is suitable for growing cotton. Hetao is the best pasture area in China. The Guanzhong Plain and the Hanzhong Plain are both the best agricultural areas. In the current agricultural society, a large number of people will surely gather. It is a waste not to establish an industrial zone. After a long period of weighing, Li Zhe decided to build this place into a gathering place for textile industry.
In the textile industry, its raw materials are mainly cotton and livestock fur, while its power is mainly human, hydraulic and even steam engines. Li Zhe started to make technical reserves when he was in Runan County and also planted cotton in Nanyang County. However, due to insufficient raw materials, there is no chance of industrial productivity explosion. Now, in Guanzhong, where the conditions are good, we can consider establishing a special textile industry.
The textile machinery industry in the time and space of the Three Kingdoms is about to take the stage. This is also the best way to implement economic bondage policies for grassland nations. Historically, the so-called sheep eaters happened at the node where the textile industry and traditional planting industry compete for raw materials and labor population. It was the forerunner of the British industry and the cultivation period of basic industries.
So, at the order of Li Zhe, Li Zhe's militia began to convert production on site, becoming the backbone of local basic conditions and textile industry construction, road water conservancy buildings, as well as the opening of farmland and industrial zones.
However, Zhang Xiu, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong's garrison on the frontier turned into fur and livestock dealers, using salt and steel transported from the mainland to exchange for fur and livestock on the grassland, and transported them to Chang'an to become the basic raw material for the textile and leather industry. The first thing to consider is the military uniforms of Li Zhejun's army.
In short, the current textile industry in the Three Kingdoms time and space under Li Zhe's rule is different from modern time and space, and it started with the wool textile industry.
Imitating the fur clothes of Hu people Yuhan, the animal fur was cleaned and made into wool military uniforms with the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms. First, the cavalry troops heading north to the grasslands were Li Zhe's first mission to Chang'an's textile industry.
For this reason, Li Zhe had to return to modern times and got back a large amount of relevant information and machinery. On the one hand, it was another improvement of previous technical reserves. This time, the original textile machinery will directly jump to the modern factory production stage, and the textile machines and hydraulic textile machines with hand-powered power will be used on a large scale; on the other hand, it is the industrial experience in fur processing and processing of the wool textile industry.
This involves a series of improvements in ancient textile handicraft processes, such as cleaning, degreasing, carbonization, carding, printing and dyeing, as well as leather processing, etc. The soap industry, caustic soda industry, etc. derived from the chemical industry, Li Zhe is really not very good. Only scientists among the craftsmen can explore and solve the problem based on the data.
The entire industry will be a long-term evolutionary process. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site) and give me rewards. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
