The entire Danyang County is in full swing.

Seventy or eighty thousand blacksmiths and more than one hundred thousand miners and migrant workers dig iron ore in Ma'anshan and make steel, creating various steel equipment for the new army.

Infantry chariots with sealed steel plates, infantry steel armor, war vests, swords and guns, guns and cannons...

Other counties in Danyang County also organized a large number of women and unemployed refugees to build 300,000 pairs of stirrups, high bridge saddles, etc.

Chu Tianxiu also built a new large winemaking workshop, recruited thousands of people, and urgently produced a large number of high-purity alcohol.

The rebellion of the princes caused turmoil and brought about a large number of unemployed refugees and bandits.

The large-scale requisition of labor to work not only restored the production that was destroyed after the riots of the princes, gave them a bite of food, greatly stabilized the economy, and quickly supplied a large number of military supplies.

The powerful production capacity of the Great Chu Dynasty was by no means comparable to that of the Huns. Even if they gave the Huns several years, they might not have time to create so many military supplies.

...

Shortly after the beginning of autumn.

Chu Tianxiu took 1,000 students from the Military Academy as the core and selected elite soldiers from the Great Chu army and reorganized a new army of 50,000 people.

Twenty thousand chariots, 20,000 gunpowder lances, and 10,000 heavy cavalry.

Afterwards, he and Li Yu led this new army to mobilize a large number of ships to cross the river and head to Taiyuan City, an important northern town two thousand miles away.

The new army traveled a long distance.

It will take a month and a half to travel on this trip.

At this time, the Taiwei Li Rong was in Taiyuan City, organizing the defense of the frontier army. Except for Shuofang City being occupied by the Huns, there was no major defeat in the frontier.

The new army accompanied them, and there were many talents.

This year's imperial examination genius Sang Hongyang is the best at analyzing and was recruited by Chu Tianxiu to serve as the leader of the new army. He is responsible for the general logistics of the new army and the settlement of all related accounts.

Zhu Maichen also brought him with him. He had a lot of experience in farming. Chu Tianxiu planned to let him go to the northwest to grow grain. In this way, the local grain would satisfy the supply and there would be no need to transport grain from all over the world.

In addition, Monk Dahai and his newly recruited 72 disciples and monks were also recruited to follow the army.

Others are easy to say, and they are all useful. But these monks don’t do anything, Amitabha Buddha all day long, and the generals don’t know what to take them to do.

Even the Dalai Monk was full of doubts.

He stayed well in Jinling City, and the great cause of spreading Buddhism had just improved a little. He was about to build a temple. Why did Xiaohunhou recruit him and his disciples into the army?!

Recite the spells to the soldiers who died?

The Great Chu Dynasty is not promoting this now. Even if it is necessary to study, it is the Taoist priests who do these jobs.

Dahai thought about it but couldn't figure out what Chu Tianxiu wanted to do.

However, Dahai didn't dare to ask, looking like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Chu Tianxiu rode on the horse and exercised his riding skills.

He saw Dahai walking around him from time to time, with the jingle stick in his hand jingling and his heart was full of worries, and he saw Dahai's doubts.

"Dahai, it is of course of great use to take you to the Western Regions."

"The frontier areas, Beirong, Xidi, Nanbar, and Dongyi, are strong in the people, like tigers and wolves in the jungle, lacking in writing and writing, barbarism and not knowing how to educate! It is just in time for compassionate Buddhism to influence them!"

"All the places conquered by our Great Chu army and surrendered and surrendered people all regard Buddhism as the national religion. They educate their citizens, abandon their weapons, and cultivate their temperament!"

"This is needed for all the thirty-six countries in the northwest, the Xianbei countries in the northeast, and the barbarian countries in the southwest.

After this marquis conquered him, at least one male person must be a monk in every household, enjoy respectful treatment, and specialize in Buddhism.”

"Didn't you train 72 disciples, train them well, and then let them all go to these small countries to be national teachers!"

"Dahai, what do you think of this idea in this Hou?"

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

Dahai looked up in shock and was shocked.

National Education?

The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, even the Xianbei, etc., and all the surrounding barbarians, have one person to study Buddhism?!

Xiao Hunhou’s work is too big!

Too big, he couldn't believe it.

"Do~, take it seriously?"

Dahai was completely shocked.

His dreams in this life were nothing more than a temple in the East, and the Buddhist studies of India were spread to the east. When his disciples spread and were accepted by the people of the Great Chu, it would probably be at least one or two hundred years later.

"Is there any inappropriate words in my marquis?

Not only that.

The Great Chu court will also issue imperial edicts to you, personally enthrone your position as national teachers in the Western Regions, and grant you titles inherited from generation to generation to ensure generational inheritance and legitimacy.

The Buddhist sects of the Western Regions will all be your disciples. Of course, you must control your disciples and disciples."

Chu Tianxiu said lightly.

"real?"

When Dahai heard this, his whole body trembled excitedly.

He came from India and came to the Great Chu of Dongtu to preach.

After working hard for 10 or 20 years, there was no result. Finally, I followed Xiao Hunhou, and then I recruited a group of poor-born disciples in Dachu to learn Buddhism with him.

Unexpectedly, after just one year of following Xiaohunhou, he became so successful. The achievements that took hundreds of years to complete would work in just a few years.

Dahai hurriedly bowed and bowed deeply, his eyes filled with light, and he burst into tears: "The Buddha's son is great and has great kindness to create Buddhism on the East! If the Buddha's son is sent, Dahai will definitely do his best. The court should send him, and my Buddhism will definitely be loyal to the Great Chu for generations."

"Um!"

Chu Tianxiu nodded slightly.

Why did he choose Buddhism to educate the countries in the Western Regions, but not Taoism or Confucianism?

Taoism was born, and it was difficult to complete this important task if it wanted to become an immortal in the end and remained uncontested by the world. Even the land of Dachu, after a brief period of prosperity, gradually declined.

It is too difficult to let Taoism attack from all sides.

Although Confucianism has good education, it is difficult to achieve immediate results.

In ancient history, Buddhism was the most perfectly fulfilling the mission of "conquering the Western Regions without bloodshed."

The new army did not waste time on the road to Northern Xinjiang two thousand miles away for a month and a half.

Fifty thousand troops were rushing on the way while practicing various practical exercises such as "raid, sprint, scattering, assembled, rushing, encirclement, camping and defense in the field".

Some light cavalry were even simulated as Hun cavalry, and the Huns harassing tactics were used to attack the army.

Run and fight, conduct a raid simulation battle that lasts thousands of miles long, familiarize yourself with the tactics of various firearms and equipment, muskets, heavy cavalry, and infantry fighting chariots in your hands, and at the same time, you can enter the actual combat state as soon as possible.

On the grassland, there are often battles that run hundreds of miles, or even one or two thousand miles apart.
