Compared with the sultry heat of North Luzon, the northwest in midsummer gives people the feeling of exposure, the scorching sun shines on the roof of the carriage shed, although it is ventilated on all sides, but this hot and spicy taste is indeed not very pleasant, fortunately, as soon as it enters noon, most of the convoys choose to rest in the shade, the people of the logistics department have arranged very well in this regard, all kinds of heatstroke drugs and salt water have already been prepared, and they are fully furnished along the wooden shed of the post station, and a large number of jars of cold water are prepared for the soldiers to fill in the kettle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info whenever this time is the busiest time for the logistics department, the shortage of dry food needs to be replenished, the kettle should be told to fill the soldiers, the morning and noon are dry food, only dinner can feel the heat. From the beginning of the assembly to the loading and transportation of the east, the first stop is naturally Qingyang Mansion, which is the seat of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate.

From the rainforest belt in the east of Vito Province to the evergreen broad-leaved forest belt in the west of Qingyang, the tree species on both sides are also gradually changing, indicating that the two places with the remaining veins of the Great Hengduan Mountains as the dividing line belong to two continents, North Luzon is affected by the ocean thermal air flow from the south that is almost unblocked, and belongs to a typical tropical monsoon climate, and is divided by a large Hengduan Mountain Range, and the northwest to the east is a typical temperate continental climate, with cold winters and hot summers, and scarce rainfallIn particular, the common vines and plants in North Luzon are almost invisible here, and this dry climate also makes the soldiers who have lived in the sultry North Luzon for a long time feel the scorching sun, and also find that the cool climate can be felt as soon as the wind comes or in the shade is actually very comfortable.

Since its formation, the Second Legion has been stationed in the Central Continent, at most, it is to exert its power in the nearby Indean region and the Western Regions, or as far as the Tengger Grassland to wander, but there is almost no chance to step into the Eastern Continent, especially those Andean people who were born in Northern Luzon and Northern Luzon, and they have not had the opportunity to see the Tang River civilization that they have long admired in their hearts, this time they can finally get what they want, no wonder they can't extinguish their eyes even if they are bumps for a few days in a row, and they can't extinguish their eyes wide to see the first stop of the Tang River Empire, which is also the first pure Tang city they have seen, and it is also the seat of the seat of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate.

Helian Bo rode his horse and slowly marched to the side of the convoy, followed by Yan Tong, the commander of the 1st Division, this serious middle-aged man has become one of Helian Bo's most important assistants, whether it is planning or wartime deployment, his performance is remarkable. Helian Bo has sent a letter of recommendation to the Military Affairs Bureau and the Qin Prince's Mansion, requesting the appointment of Yan Tong as the chief of staff of the Second Legion, Yan Tong's careful thinking and meticulous planning ability have been highly appreciated by Helian Bo and Shanzhu, in Helian Bo's eyes, this guy's planning and deployment ability is even higher than Ling Fox Wing, no matter how troublesome things are thrown to him, he can always arrange them properly for you.

"Old Yan, how long has it been since you returned to the northwest?" Looking at the Qingyang City Tower that was getting closer and closer, Helian Bo sighed softly with deep feelings, it was a few years in a flash, although sometimes he could go back to the northwest for a meeting, but there was almost no chance to go east, but this time His Royal Highness the King of Qin summoned himself to go east, although the goal was in the peninsula region, but Helian Bo knew that the war on the peninsula would not last too long, once the Maqi Khans were beaten back, His Royal Highness the King of Qin would blow the horn of unifying the empire, and he and the second army were afraid that there would be almost no chance of returning to Northern Luzon.

Now Ying Jianming has been ordered to prepare for the establishment of the Indean Legion, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Qin did not ignore the treasure land of Indean when he was bent on plotting the Central Plains, and it is very important to maintain the necessary intimidation and influence in the western Xinjiang in that vast and populous land, and it is absolutely necessary, so His Royal Highness the King of Qin's words can only be strengthened, not weakened, although now he is forced to withdraw his second legion due to the situation, so that Hu Yanqiu's Indean Legion can be transformed into the Seventh Legion, but immediately let Ying Jianming enter the three northeastern provinces of Indean to familiarize himself with the situation also proves that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has never relaxed his attention to Indean, and Ying Jianming and his gang of rabbit cubs seem to be too concerned about the enthusiastic Indian women on the Senge Plain, so that there have been a series of incidents of soldiers staying overnight, I heard that Mi Feng, director of the Department of Military Justice, has personally led a large number of military judges to the most serious problem of Kashhar Province and Bangladesh Province, it seems that Ying Jianming's Indian Army has not yet been successfully formed to usher in the first wave of bloody education classes of the Department of Military Justice.

"It's a little while, Commander, as soon as I arrived in North Luzon, I never returned to the northwest, thinking about the past, it's like a dream, only today when I step on this solid northwest land, I will feel so solid and real. Yan Tong, who was silent, seemed to be moved by the scene in front of him, growing from a bandit leader to the division commander of the Western Xinjiang Army, during which he also went through many detours, but even if he entered the Western Xinjiang Army, even if he embarked on a broad road, at least his boss was not the kind of person with a small stomach, and he could rest assured that he could boldly expound his opinions and opinions without any scruples, and the commander of the regiment in front of him had no doubt about his appreciation, and he heard the deputy commander of the Shanzhu said that the report on the request for the Military Affairs Administration to appoint him as the chief of staff of the Second Army Corps had been sent, and now it was waiting for the approval of the Military Affairs Administration and the Qin Wangfu, in accordance with the regulations, the division commander and the corps-level commander not only need to be approved by the Military Affairs Bureau, but also finally have to be stamped with the seal of His Royal Highness King Qin.

"Well, I'm afraid that we don't have much chance of going back to Northern Luzon in the future. Looking at the prosperous scene of people coming and going in front of him, but seeing the arrival of the army transport vehicle taking the initiative to make way for him, Helian Bo was very emotional, "With a flick of his fingers, we are all several years old, and Qingyang has changed from a ruined city to what it is now, can you imagine what it looked like ten years ago? Alas, you and I have never forgotten the ruined situation of Qingyang at that time, right? By the way, the ruins in the northwest at that time seemed to still have the sins of you and me?" Giggling, Helian Bo lowered his voice and looked around and grinned.

The old-fashioned face was flushed with embarrassment, Yan Tong didn't expect that this legion commander would also deliberately mention the disgraceful experience of himself and himself, this kind of experience was kept secret by others, but this legion commander seemed to like to show off everywhere, as if it was not a bandit but a glorious way to enter the Emperor's [***] Academy for further study.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the faces of his subordinates, Helian Bo couldn't help laughing: "Lao Yan, what's that? Isn't it just that I have been a bandit for a while? At that time, the officials also forced the people to rebel, and we were also for the sake of livelihood. ”

Yan Tong couldn't bear to argue with his boss's indiscriminate quotation, so he had to twist his head to the side and divert the topic: "Commander, it seems that this Qingyang Mansion is better every year, such a steep and strong city wall is worthy of being the seat of our Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, and no one can dare to come to Qingyang with this city wall standing on the land in the northwest." ”

"Well, Qingyang Mansion is now the seat of the Western Metropolitan Protectorate, so this city wall must be much higher than that of ordinary prefectures and counties, and it also leads to the Tengger Grassland and the Western Regions, as well as to Northern Luzon, so it can also show the power of our Western Xinjiang. Helian Bo glanced at it casually and replied casually: "However, in my opinion, Qingyang's economic function as a commercial and transportation hub in the west of Western Xinjiang is gradually strengthening, but the political function as the administrative office of the metropolitan protectorate is constantly weakening, and has been gradually replaced by Hanzhong. ”

"Yes, my subordinates also heard that Qingyang and Hanzhong also caused a fierce dispute in order to compete for who is the real center of Western Xinjiang, it stands to reason that Western Xinjiang should choose Hanzhong as the center, after all, the basic conditions of Guanxi in all aspects are much stronger than that of the northwest, and with the continuous eastward expansion and southern extension of our western Xinjiang region, His Royal Highness King Qin's focus is also on the interior of the empire, and the role of Hanzhong is irreplaceable, especially after the peninsula area falls under our control, this situation is even more obvious, if Qingyang is also selected as the center, it is quite inconvenient for communication and military orders。 At the beginning, His Royal Highness King Qin would adopt this compromise strategy because of his nostalgia for the old and his reluctance to be regarded as liking the new and hating the old, but in fact, this did not make much sense. Qingyang can rely on its geographical and resource advantages to become the transportation and commercial center of Western Xinjiang at the intersection of the Central and Eastern continents, and its strategic location and importance do not have to be reflected by becoming the capital of Western Xinjiang. ”

His subordinates talked eloquently but made Helian Bo stunned, his subordinate had no one in the army in terms of military planning, and he didn't expect that he could have such foresight in civil affairs, which was much more than Helian Bo expected.

"Lao Yan, it seems that our family is not wrong in recommending you as the chief of staff of our Second Legion, if the two adults Ling Bo still don't agree, let's just say this to them, so that they can also see the talent export of our Second Legion, I'm afraid that even the two of them may not have such a profound opinion. Helian Bo wiped his mouth and said thoughtfully.
