Chapter 149: The First Five-Year Plan (Part II)
Everyone sat up straight, everyone understood what industry meant, they all knew that this was the focus of their next work, they all knew the establishment of industrial zones, and the emergence of cement also made them understand how important industry is.
"First of all, the first step is to use cement and concrete to rebuild the entire Yumen Pass, and expand the current wall of the gate to two or three thousand meters square." Huo Gang first said the first goal.
"General." Anno below immediately spoke.
"Well, you say." Huo Gang nodded.
"I think that although Yumen Pass is our starting place, Yumen Pass is too close to Datang, although we may not have a conflict with Datang in the future, but we are not afraid of 10,000 just in case, whether it is Datang, or the former Sui, or the Han Dynasty, we have never given up on the Western Regions."
"And if the Tang Dynasty advances westward in the future, our current position will bear the brunt, since the general wants to take Gaochang and Yanqi, then do we put the capital in Yiwu, its position is obviously better." Anno said seriously.
"I agree with Chief An's words, Yumen Pass is too close to the Tang Dynasty, unless we take Dunhuang." Wu Ping next to him also spoke for the first time.
Amato didn't speak, because for them Turks, the gains and losses of one city and one place were never important, so the Turks could not understand the importance of cities.
"What about you?" Huo Zheng looked at Huo Zheng and the others.
"General, the last general has the confidence to hold our territory." Huo Zheng was the first to speak.
"General Huo Zheng, it's not that we don't believe you, but if we have a conflict with Datang, there is no need to directly enter the mode of decisive battle at the beginning. If we put the capital in Yiwu, we will have enough strategic space, how did General Gongsun defeat Ashye, I believe General Huo Zheng should understand. Guo Ming, who was next to him, suddenly opened his mouth and added.
"I'm sorry, old man Amato, but it's not for you." After finishing speaking, Guo Ming apologized to Amatuo and them.
"It's okay, what Mr. Guo said is the truth." Amato smiled and said, he is not a glass heart, this is naturally accepted, even the face of Amu next to him did not change, because what Anno said was the truth.
"If the general wants to use Yumen Pass as Chengdu City, it is not impossible." Wu Ping thought about it, and suddenly added, although Wu Ping just agreed with Annuo's words, he also knew why Huo Gang wanted to build Yumen Pass.
Because of the existence of Yinmahe and Xianquan, it is impossible for Yumen Pass to give up, and the reason why Wu Ping agreed just now is that he can be regarded as throwing bricks and attracting jade, first taking out everyone's doubts, and then saying his plan.
"Mr. Wu, please speak." This time it was Anno who spoke.
"We can build Yumen Pass into a city that will never fall." Wu Ping said very simply, "I believe you all already know about cement, and the existence of cement means that the speed at which we build the city wall is far faster than others imagine, and the speed of building the same city is countless times that of others." ”
"As long as our city walls are tall enough, you should all know that whether it is the Tang Dynasty or others, it is almost impossible for those engineering equipment to break through our city walls." Wu Ping looked at everyone.
"And as long as the city is not captured by the enemy, then General Gongsun, General Huo Zheng, and General Ma Yuan still have a lot of room for maneuver and strategic conflicts in their cavalry."
Wu Ping said this, everyone looked at each other, this is indeed a way, it was very difficult to attack a city in ancient times, especially some big cities want to attack the city is to fill it with human lives, and it is necessary to have an absolute advantage in human life.
When the Central Plains region was besieging the city, most of the siege equipment was directly built by cutting wood on the spot, but in the Western Regions, there were not so many forests, and the transportation of strategic materials here was also a problem for Datang.
In fact, the only one who can pose a threat to them is the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, who are not good at attacking cities. In fact, whether it is the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, they have to weigh and weigh Huo Gang now.
Others definitely don't see as far as Huo Gang, first of all, it is impossible for the Eastern Turks to find trouble with Huo Gang, the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks both think of each other as mortal enemies, even the Eastern Turks who have an enmity with the Tang Dynasty think that the Western Turks are mortal enemies.
Because they thought very clearly, they thought that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to go deep into the grassland to fight them, but whether it was the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, it was possible for them to go deep into the grasslands to kill each other.
And now that Huo Gang is fighting the Western Turks, then the Eastern Turks will naturally not come over to fight Huo Gang, and Jieli is not so stupid.
As for the Western Turks, the Khan of the Western Turks is now in danger, and the Khan of the Western Turks will not survive to be killed by his uncle next year, so there must be a crisis around the current Tongyehu.
Therefore, Huo Gang has defeated Ashye for so long, and he has not seen the Western Turks send troops to come, let alone the army, and there is not even a messenger, so you can imagine how deep the internal contradictions of the Western Turks are now.
"It's the subordinates who are not thoughtful, and what Mr. Wu said makes sense." Anno arched his hand directly at Huo Gang and said.
"Actually, you all have a point." Huo Gang smiled, "But you forgot one thing. ”
After everyone was concentrating, Huo just continued: "What makes the city indestructible is not how far the city is from the enemy, nor how high the city wall is, but the people's will and our own strength, as long as our strength is strong enough, even if our city does not have a city wall!" The enemy will not dare to attack us in the slightest! ”
"Yes!" All at the same time.
"In this way, I see that you don't have a unified opinion, so I made a direct decision, this is the first five-year plan, and we can work hard to complete the five-year goals after we set them." Huo Gang said directly.
"Yes!" Everyone looked at each other and didn't have any opinions.
"Then the entire city wall will be built according to the square of 3,000 meters, with a height of 18 meters on the ground, a width of 15 meters at the top, and a width of 18 meters at the bottom." Huo Gang directly said the standard of the city wall.
"General......" Hearing Huo Gang's data, Anno still couldn't help but speak.
"You wait." Huo Gang knew what he was going to question, so he waved his hand first and continued: "In addition, we have to rebuild the checkpoint in Yangguan, and Yumen Pass is a horn of each other, Yangguan does not need to be built so big, and the city wall of Yangguan is temporarily built according to the length of one thousand meters square." ”
"In addition, we have to build cement roads mainly in concrete between Yangguan and Yumen Pass, as well as Yangguan and the industrial zone, as well as the roads all the way to Loulan and Yiwu."
"At the same time, all the inhabitants will set up settlements, and in the future, our people will stop being nomadic and strive to let every ordinary person live in a house made of concrete."
"Yumen Pass and Yangguan should establish a complete groundwater system and build public latrines and other related measures when they are renovated."
"In addition, we are going to build a large coal mine, a large iron mine, and a steel mill, and strive to make our annual steel production reach 30,000 tons next year." Huo Gang simply finished talking about the plan he had come up with.
But after Huo Gang finished speaking, the people in the room were stupid, because ...... In their opinion, Huo Gang's plan ...... Is this a five-year plan? I'm afraid this is not a 50-year plan, and the construction of the Yumen Pass city wall alone may not be completed within five years.
"Okay, this is the industrial plan, if you have any questions, just say it."
"General...... It's not that I question you...... It's just that...... The length of the wall of Yumen Pass is 3,000 meters, the height of the ground is 18 meters, the top is 15 meters wide, and the bottom is 18 meters wide...... It is more majestic than the current Chang'an city wall, and even if we use all our manpower and material resources, it may be difficult to complete it in five years, not to mention that you have to build Yangguan, pave cement roads and so on. ”
"If we had a million people who could use it, it would definitely be done, but our current population, at best, is only 200,000." Anno couldn't laugh or cry.
He is very clear about the data in these aspects, and he is also very clear about Chang'an City, the city wall that Huo Gang said is much more majestic than Chang'an City, and such a plan is impossible to complete in Anno's opinion.
"Do you think so, too?" Huo Gang smiled, looked at the others and asked. Although this project does seem to be a lot, but in fact, there are not as many as imagined, of course, according to the ancient way of conscription construction, it is absolutely impossible to complete, five years, just the city wall is enough.
But with the same result, these ancient people would not know at all how powerful human power really is!
"Yes." The others looked at each other, although they didn't want to admit it, but they felt that Huo Gang's task was really difficult to complete.
"In this way, the plan is formulated like this first, we will work hard like this first, and as for whether it can be completed, we will say another way." Huo Gang said with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other, and since Huo Gang said so, they naturally had no other opinions.
"Then the agricultural plan, in the first five years, we will open at least one million acres of land to maintain our food self-sufficiency, you don't have to doubt this, I have provided Wu Ping with immortal seeds, the output of these grains is enough for all of us to eat and more than enough, in addition, the first thing we need to expand is the cultivation area of alfalfa grass."
"You are doing a good job at the moment, as long as the area of alfalfa grass is expanded enough, it means that we can reduce the number of cattle and sheep herding personnel under our name, and we can free up more people for other work." Huo Gang said seriously.
100,000 people is a huge number, take the city wall of Yumen Pass as an example, 18 meters wide foundation, according to the depth of 3 meters to calculate, digging 1 meter long, is 54 square of soil, an adult man digging 3 square soil a day should be easy, so it is only 18 days, an adult can dig a meter long.
If 100,000 people are together, the foundation will be completely dug in 18 days.
In fact, the speed of everyone's work is different, maybe it may be longer than this, it may be less than this, but the difference is not big, of course, it is impossible for 100,000 people to dig at the same time, and the construction of the city wall, in fact, Huo Gang already has a good method, it is impossible to use all concrete, it is too luxurious.
