By March of AD 752, the eleventh year of Tianbao, the three factories managed by Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang were on the right track.
The blankets produced by the garment factory began to be supplied to the military of the Beiting Protectorate.
The thickness, thermal insulation effect, and comfort level are all quite popular among soldiers.
This thing is light and can be stacked together.
It is not big in size and does not take up much space, but it can be carried around on your back.
It is very convenient whether you are marching, fighting or camping.
Silk wadding is not produced in Beiting.
It is too troublesome and expensive to buy and import it from the Central Plains.
Use a thick blanket.
It is most suitable to replace silk batting as a quilt.
In winter, just put a linen quilt cover on the blanket.
In this era, people basically used silk wadding as bedding and linen as fabric for the winter.
Poorer people did not have silk wadding for bedding, so they could only wrap themselves in linen for the winter, which was very difficult.
No one grew hemp here in Beiting before, so no one weaved linen.
Everyone wore clothes made of sheepskin and animal skin.
Since Zhao Ziliang began to introduce large-scale Han refugees from the Central Plains, more and more people grew hemp here, and therefore there were Got it Linen, coupled with large-scale planting, the output of linen is not low, so people wear linen clothes in spring and summer, and fur clothes in autumn and winter.
These are the clothes of ordinary people; and wealthy officials wear silk and satin in spring and summer, and leather in autumn and winter.
Fur cloak.
After the weather began to improve, the three factories began to supply uniforms and shoes and socks to the military.
They were all made of linen.
Linen was the most common and main textile material in this era.
The clothes worn by ordinary people were made of linen, followed by Silk, but silk is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford to wear it.
Only the families of wealthy officials can afford it.
There are only a few tribes in Anxi who use wool to make textiles, and the level of textiles is extremely low and there is no climate.
After careful consideration, Zhao Ziliang canceled the task of producing military uniforms, footwear, and bedding originally assigned to the No. 3 Xilin Ordnance Factory.
Three textile, printing, dyeing, and garment factories chaired by Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang were responsible for providing military uniforms. , shoes, socks and bedding, Xilin Shouzhu Weapons Factory No. 3 is only responsible for making armor.
In order to facilitate management, Zhao Ziliang classified all the craftsmen in Tingzhou, Xilin Shouhuo and other places in Beiting.
The craftsmen who forged weapons, made bows, crossbows, arrows and armor were all transferred to Xilin Shouhuo and were divided into the first and second weapons factories.
Factory and No. 3 Weapons Factory, while the steel parts forging factory in Suiyechuan is responsible for the No. 3 Ordnance Factory.
The three factories in Tingzhou provide steel plates, and the three factories in Tingzhou provide uniforms, shoes, socks, underwear and bedding for the army.
All tailors serving the army are transferred to these three factories in Tingzhou.
In addition, a special military secret department is established, Jiedushifu.
The Second Department of Secrecy is responsible for the technical confidentiality affairs of these weapons factories and equipment factories.
On May 17, Wang Can, who was in charge of intelligence affairs, came to the front hall of the Jiedu Ambassador's House to see Zhao Ziliang and reported: "I am reporting to the Commander-in-Chief that there have been changes in the political situation regarding resettlement."
Zhao Ziliang heard this and asked in confusion: "What happened when the political situation in Anxi changed?"
"Wang Zhengjian, the deputy governor of Anxi and the military envoy of the four towns, died of illness.
Military and political matters are temporarily assisted by the military governor Feng Changqing, deputy military envoy Liang Zhai, and military envoy Cao Lingzhong.
However, Cao Lingzhong is now leading his troops in the state of Kang.
Jiedushi Deputy Envoy Liang Niao has no real power, and although Feng Changqing is only a judge of Jiedu, he is a official of the San Dynasty who was conferred by the court, a recorder of Prince Qing's palace, and a member of the army.
His official rank is higher than that of Cao Lingzhongdu.
Therefore, Feng Changqing is actually in charge of Anxi now. clear" "Oh" Zhao Ziliang said after hearing this: "Although Wang Zhengjian is a little older, his body is still very strong.
Why did he die suddenly?"
Wang Can shook his head and said: "Jie Shuai, Wang Zhengjian was already sick when he left Beiting in October last year to go to Anxi to take up his post.
The journey to Anxi was bumpy and tiring, and he became bedridden on the way.
In the end, his family hired a driver.

He sent him to Anxi, on the way Stop and go, by the time we arrived in Anxi, it was almost the Chinese New Year.
After arriving in Anxi, he fell ill and was unable to take charge of the military and political affairs of Anxi.
In addition, there were greedy people like Bian Lingcheng.
How could he bear it?
It’s been half a year and I really can’t survive it.”
Zhao Ziliang stood up and touched his chin and said: "Between you and me, who will take over as the next governor of Anxi?"
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "If the imperial court does not transfer people from elsewhere, I am afraid that the person who will take over Anxi will be Feng Changqing.
He has been serving as the envoy during Gao Xianzhi's many expeditions and has already taken control of the military and political power in Anxi."
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "These past few years have been troubled in Anxi.
We have to guard against both the cannibals in the west and the cannibals in the south.
On the contrary, although our tasks in Beiting are heavy, they are actually very peaceful.
After these several battles , the strength of the barbarians in Beiting has been greatly damaged, and even if they are tempted, they cannot make a big splash.
If the Zhaowu Kingdom is placed under the rule of the Beiting Protectorate, the pressure on Anxi will be much lighter."
Wang Can nodded but said nothing.
At this time, a soldier walked in with his sword in hand and clasped his fists to report: "Commander Qi, the imperial court has sent an envoy to read out the imperial edict.
The envoy's troops have arrived fifty miles east of the city."
Zhao Ziliang and Wang Can looked at each other, and Zhao Ziliang immediately shouted outside: "Come here, prepare the incense case and notify all the officials in the government to go out of the city to meet the imperial envoy."
This time the eunuch sent by Chang'an to announce the edict was unknown to Zhao Ziliang.
The emperor's imperial edict stated that Zhao Ziliang was promoted to the title of Yushi Dafu and the title of general.
Until then, Zhao Ziliang's rank was the same as Gao Xianzhi.
Within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, according to Zhao Ziliang's proposal, the Beiting Protectorate's seat was allowed to be moved from Tingzhou to Hengzhou.
Luosi City strengthened the defense in the west.
The west of Congling was called Taixi, and the Taixi Protectorate was established.
The Taixi Protectorate governed the Zhaowu Kingdom, Tocharo and its surrounding seventy-two countries, and was under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate.
For the time being, Zhao Ziliang will concurrently serve as the Protector of the Taixi Protectorate.
After the Taixi Protectorate is completed and on track, Zhao Ziliang will recommend a candidate to succeed him.
The Taixi Protectorate can command 20,000 troops.
Part of the Han army will be allocated by Beiting, and the other part will be recruited from various tribes in Beiting and the local areas of the Western Regions.
The emperor also ordered Zhao Ziliang to pass the order to Cao Lingzhong and order him to escort the leaders of the Zhaowu kingdoms.
Going to Chang'an to offer prisoners, the main task of the Anxi Protectorate was changed to targeting Tibet, and the three major border towns of Anxi Protectorate, Hexi, and Longyou were used to deal with Tubo with all their strength."
The moment Zhao Ziliang received the imperial edict, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had known for a long time that this matter would probably get the emperor's approval.
Emperor Xuanzong paid more and more attention to border work, and being able to expand the territory made him look bright, as if he could only Only in this way can it appear that his achievements can surpass the great ancestor Taizong.
Zhao Ziliang's idea was different from that of Emperor Xuanzong.
He considered it strategically.
In the past, the Zhaowu Kingdom was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
The Anxi Protectorate could only coordinate the conflicts among the kingdoms and had the power to mobilize troops in wartime, but had no right to intervene.
The internal affairs and military affairs of each country, let alone garrisoning, are actually the strategic buffer zone between Dashi and the Tang Dynasty.
However, once this buffer zone is occupied by the Dashi country, the Tang Dynasty's strategy in the Western Regions will be greatly affected. restriction, influence will also The bottom of the valley is lowered and the Zhaowu Kingdom is too far away from Anxi and is blocked by green mountains.
It is really difficult to manage the Zhaowu Kingdom.
However, if the Zhaowu Kingdom is directly integrated into the Tang Dynasty territory and a special Protectorate is set up for management, it will be completely different.
In the past, due to political considerations, the Zhaowu Kingdom could not be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but now it is different.
The Zhaowu Kingdom rebelled and assisted the Dashi Kingdom in attacking the suzerain country.
This crime gave the Tang Dynasty enough reason to embezzle its territory.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Ziliang asked the eunuch who delivered the edict: "Father, have the contents of this edict been spread?"

The eunuch who delivered the order quickly shook his head and said: "The Zajia family doesn't know about it.
After all, this imperial edict is not a secret edict.
Many ministers must have known about it when the eunuch issued the imperial edict."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "When we counterattacked the Dashi army before, the kings of the Zhaowu kingdoms led troops to assist us in attacking the Dashi army, so we did not imprison them after the war.
Now the kings of the Zhaowu kingdoms They are all handling government affairs on their own territory.
If the news that the imperial court wants to escort them to Chang'an to offer prisoners is known to them, I'm afraid they won't obey and may lead to rebellion."
The eunuch who delivered the order immediately panicked after hearing this: "Marshal Zhao, what should we do?"
Zhao Ziliang's eyes narrowed and he shouted to the officers and generals present: "Pass this order to the commander-in-chief and order the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th battalions of the Han Navy to quickly assemble and stand by.
Logistics officials will quickly allocate food, grass and weapons.
I will personally do this tomorrow morning."
Lead the troops and set off for the state of Kang."
All the officials and generals suddenly promised: "I will obey my order."
Zhao Ziliang then said to the eunuch who passed the order: "My father-in-law, I am afraid that I will not have time to entertain you, so I must prepare for sending troops immediately, and then rush the army to Kang State in the Western Regions to control them before they have time to organize a rebellion.
And I’m afraid it’s too safe for you to stay here, so it’s better to return to Beijing quickly.”
The eunuch who delivered the order was fair and fat.
He originally thought that he could extort some money from Zhao Ziliang and make a fortune by coming to Beiting.
Now that he heard that this place is so dangerous, he had no intention of extorting money, so he ran away for his life.
It's important, he immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, this frontier land is really not a place for people with delicate skin and tender flesh like me.
It is best for the Za family to return to the Holy Spirit immediately.
We will go back immediately. " The accompanying eunuchs and soldiers of the Forbidden Army complained in their hearts.
They didn't even take a sip of water when they arrived, and they didn't even sit down on a stool to rest.
Now that they are going back, there is no need to be so afraid of death.
Although these people scolded the eunuch who delivered the order bloody in their hearts, they did not dare to show it.
They could only agree feebly: "No" The eunuch who delivered the order raised his hand to Zhao Ziliang again and said: "Marshal Zhao, the Za family is leaving now.
There is no need to send the marshal off.
It's better to prepare for the dispatch of troops."
Zhao Ziliang sent the eunuchs to the gate of the government office, and sent people to find some grain and dried meat for them to take on the road
