Valley Emperor

In the spring of the 43rd year of Xuanping, in Malacca on the Nanyang Peninsula, a group of officials, gentry and even military generals gathered in a huge concrete building in the city of Malacca.

In front of them was a railway, and a locomotive wearing red flowers was slowly entering the platform. When the train stopped, everyone applauded.

This is the first opening ceremony of the Malacca section of the Nanyang Railway, which has been under construction over the years since the Tang Dynasty began to plan the construction of the Nanyang Railway many years ago.

And in order to speed up the construction progress, the method of multi-direction simultaneous construction of multiple sections of railway was adopted.

At the beginning, the neighboring Guangning County of Guangdong began to repair, all the way south through Jiaozhou, Guangxi, and entered Annan Province. At the same time, construction was also started in Siam Province, Malacca State and Myanmar Province at the same time.

Among them, the railway from Guangning to Jiaozhou was the first to be completed, and then the Kunsong railway from Jiaozhou to Kunming, Yunnan was completed all the way west.

The railway between Kunming and Myanmar is not too fast, but this Kunming Railway is a standard combat-ready railway. It is designed as an ordinary single-track railway, and the design speed is not fast. At the same time, the army also dispatched a large number of engineers. The troops helped to build it, so the construction progress of this Kun-Yang railway is also relatively fast.

On the contrary, the coastal railway connecting Siam in Annan Province and Malacca state is slightly slower.

This is not to say that the railway in this area is more difficult to repair. In fact, in terms of construction difficulty, this coastal railway is easier, at least much easier than the Kunyang railway.

Even more difficult to repair is the railway from Siam to Myanmar!

The key point is that the railway from Annan to Malacca is a coastal railway, and the sea transportation in Datang is developed. In fact, the demand for railways in the above-mentioned coastal areas is not too urgent in a short period of time, so they are all built slowly.

But so far it has been fixed.

The completion and opening of this railway means that the Datang Empire has connected all the provinces and states of Nanyang with other local provincial highways through railways.

People can take the train from Jinling City, all the way south and finally arrive at Malacca Port.

At the same time, you can also take the train to Kunming via the Southwest Railway, and then take the train to Yangon.

If we wait another year or so, the railway from Siam to Myanmar will also be opened, and the railway network of the Nanyang Peninsula will be completely formed.

This will greatly help the Tang Empire to develop the Nanyang region, making the Nanyang region a big granary for the empire and a supply of various resources, and at the same time it can accommodate a large number of immigrants.

The development of the South China Sea has been the most important thing the Tang Empire has paid attention to in recent years, more than the development of overseas territories.

This is not because of how good Nanyang is. In fact, the environment in Nanyang is not very good. It seems that there is a lot of rain, but the floods are very serious. Without the construction of huge water conservancy facilities, it is actually difficult to develop agriculture on a large scale.

In later generations, the Nanyang region became the main export area of ​​grain, and that was because of the development of science and technology and the improvement of water conservancy facilities.

However, in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, when science and technology were not sufficiently developed, large-scale immigration in such a poor place would have resulted in a high mortality rate.

That is to say, the medical level of Datang has been greatly improved in recent years, especially after having a deeper understanding of bacteriology, and after successively developing a variety of drugs to initially restrain a variety of tropical diseases, this is the only way that can be carried out in the Nanyang region. mass immigration.

Datang's immigrants in the Nanyang area first started to build railways, repair various dams and ditches, and keep up with medical conditions, so that a large number of immigrants could be imported into the Nanyang area.

After years of continuous efforts, the development of the Nanyang region has now formed a certain scale. As long as the follow-up is done step by step, the development of the Nanyang region will be successful sooner or later.

Compared to the Southeast Asian region, the Datang Empire tried its best to support but still developed relatively slowly. The development of overseas territories with relatively good conditions such as the Americas does not need the officials of the Datang Empire to worry about their development. As long as the policy is loosened a little, they can develop on their own. very good.

This is the case with railway construction in North America. When Datang Railway Corporation first said that it would invest in the construction of this railway and issue related bonds to raise funds, it didn’t take long for it to collect enough or even surplus funds.

Therefore, in addition to the trunk line railway across the American continent, it has successively announced investment in the construction of multiple railway lines.

In addition, due to the flat terrain in many places, this railway is also easy to build. It didn't take long for the first trunk railway on the American side to be completed and opened to traffic.

This is a single-track railway connecting Xinnangang to Wuhu City. It only took more than a year from start to finish.

The single-track railway has just opened to traffic, and it is preparing to continue the construction and expand the single-track railway into a double-track railway.

As for some shorter feeder railways, that's more.

Today, North America has become the region where the Tang Empire has built the most railways in addition to the mainland.

The construction of other overseas territories is not bad. The southern side is already outside the railway in the gold mining area. A railway is being built to connect the gold mining area and the South African port, and the railway will be transported to the inland development. At the same time, it is also to support the army to build the northern defense line. .

The northern line of defense in South Africa is to draw a line from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and then build a simple wall and a separation zone to prevent the influx of indigenous peoples in the northern region to ensure the strategic security of South Africa.

Datang people like to set up various simple walls and isolation zones in overseas territories, or in the border areas between native and indigenous control areas.

South Africa is still a trivial matter. The western part of Myanmar Province belongs to the isolation zone, and there is an uninhabited area hundreds of kilometers wide in the middle.

What's even more funny is that the west of Myanmar Province is not actually an indigenous control area, but Bangladesh, an overseas state of Datang. This Bangladesh also implements strict localization measures. Except for a few temporary residents, there are Datang people, but there are no indigenous people. The real natives are all in the Indian region west of Bengal.

The same is true in Central Asia. On the border line between the Tang Dynasty and the Safi Dynasty and the Mughal Dynasty, a simple city wall was built, and troops were deployed to patrol, and behind the border there were hundreds of kilometers wide. people area.

There is also a comprehensive and strict patrol along the coast of the West Sea. This patrol is not even in the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty, but directly close to the coastal areas controlled by the Safi Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire.

What, the Datang Navy's West Sea Fleet conducts intensive patrols in this area. Except for the Datang people's ships, other ships saw one intercepting another, anyway, a sampan is not allowed to approach the Datang Inland Sea.

However, there are no such isolation belts in Eastern Europe~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Because the Tatars themselves established isolation belts first, prohibiting their own people from fleeing to the Tang Empire.

Today, every population under the Tatar Jin Kingdom is a valuable strategic resource, and the Tatar Jin Kingdom will not allow all the people to flee to the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that the Datang Army on the front line saw that it was a bit difficult for the Tatars to block the border, and they often sent some supplies to the Tatar army for free.

In dealing with the phenomenon of smuggling, has the Golden Kingdom of Tatar and the Tang Empire reached an agreement and launched a strategic cooperation!

In this regard, the high-level officials of the Datang Empire are very gratified. They feel that the natives of the Golden Kingdom of Tatar, although they are still very ignorant, finally did not cause chaos for us in the Tang Dynasty.

It's not like the Safi Dynasty, the Mughal Dynasty, and the Ottoman Dynasty are not strong enough to block the border line, and the Datang Empire will wipe their butts for them every three days.

So much so that the top army officers have a voice, just help them train a border patrol team!
