Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1283 Outside Weizhou City
At the end of February, the queen arrived in Weizhou by car, and the army rested for a day.

Governor Cheng Rui of Hebei Province, Transshipment Envoy Su Junqing, Commander Li Yixian, Prison Envoy Chen Na, Xuezheng Chen Tongru, Weizhou Inspector Shi Yanci, Weizhou Army Commander Li Feng, and the incoming Jizhou Inspector Li Shi and other officials of all sizes , Three miles out of the city, greet each other on the left side of the road.

Cheng Rui successively served as the governor of Shangzhou and Caizhou, and made great achievements in internal politics.In the first month of the third year of Jianji, Hebei Road was set up, and he served as governor.

Su Junqing was originally a magistrate of Zhang Quanyi's Heyang shogunate. After he surrendered, he served as a shogunate, and later took up a local position.After the establishment of Hebei Road, he served as a transshipment envoy.

Li Yixian is the son of Li Duo.When Xin'an was attacked, Duo Xiandeng died in battle, Li Yixian was cultivated by a sage, and served as the commander of Yin'an Zhi, and now holds a military power.

Chen Na's qualifications are actually quite old.The former magistrate of the shogunate in Jingyuan Town was captured and surrendered during the Jingshi Rebellion.After Xu Zhen was dismissed and withdrawn, Chen Na lost his job. After spending a year or two among the six bureaucrats, he became the prison envoy of Hebei Province.

Chen Tongru was an aide of the original Shi Yanci. He made suggestions for him, offered Bianzhou to surrender, and made great contributions.After Hebei set up Taoism, he served as Xuezheng.

Chen Tongru's old superior, Shi Yanci, became the governor of Weizhou at the end of last year.He has been serving as the governor of Songzhou before, and he has been working for many years. It is a move to change his position.

Li Feng and Li Shi are brothers, both of whom made great contributions in the battle of overcoming Bianzhou, and later served as generals in the Shenjie Army.

After the abolition of the Shenjie Army, he served as a local state general, and this time he was transferred to Weizhou.

As a local garrison, the state army does not fight, and all kinds of shit happens endlessly.It looks fine on the outside, but who knows what's inside?When the war broke out, all kinds of problems broke out in a concentrated manner, which was terrible.But after going through this for a while, you can often get an overall improvement.

"Western General is really a man of genius. Such a big horse is scary to look at."

Who knows who uses it? Sinong Temple only cares about "breeding", and then conducts small-scale experiments in its own ranch. If it is found to be good, it "finalizes" a certain type of horse, and then selects these stronger male horses, sows them vigorously, and gives birth to them. A large number of descendants will come, and then they will be distributed to the army to conduct experiments on a larger scale.

"Xi Lulu!" The new horse was furious and restless, and everyone was terrified. Seeing that the carriage was about to overturn, they saw a young man leaping forward. After a lot of comforting, the horse finally calmed down.

Two horses have 25 hu grains, in fact, there is a little surplus capacity, but considering the health of the horses, and the poor road conditions, there is not much luck.

He is a real martial artist who has fought for half his life, he knows that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.Even if you really have the abilities of Lu Bu and Xiang Yu, if you don't say anything else, Wei Bo's soldiers will be able to chop you into a pulp if you surround them.And the Wei Bo yamen soldiers were defeated by the Great Xia Imperial Army...

Potholes on the road are not only deceiving people, but also deceiving horses.

If it is a railway, the horse can pull four times the weight on the gravel road-the horse-drawn wagon railway.

Along the way, a large group of captives came oncoming.State soldiers from Guannei Road happily escorted them to Weizhou.

But after going to battle, everything is different, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it.

Generally speaking, a draft horse takes more effort on a "soft road", and on a smooth gravel road, it can even pull twice as heavy on a soft road.

Among the two brothers, Master Li is the better one.When he served as the commander of the Suzhou State Army, he fought with Yang Wu soldiers and fought many times, and performed well.

A general grain transport truck can carry 25 hu (about 1.35 tons) of grain, plus the weight of the truck itself, on an ordinary post road, two horses are needed to pull it.

I seldom met an opponent in the Puzhou army, so I thought I was a hero, and then I sighed all day long: Why didn't the saint hear my name?Why didn't the saint promote me?Saints are surrounded by mediocre people, so what Shaluqi is blowing out, why don't you call me as a servant?all kinds.

His father met again in the west, who was originally a general of Liang Jun.After the collapse of the Xuanwu Army, he surrendered with Daliu, and then went to various miscellaneous armies, participated in many battles, and made great achievements.Now the old man has retired to the local area and serves as the commander of the Puzhou Army, and his son Xixi Ye also serves as a small school in the Puzhou Army.

The Daozhou soldiers in Guannei have also come to Hebei for more than half a year. At first, there were more than [-] people.After arriving, he was assigned to the Tiande Army to fight, and was scattered in Xing Mingcixiangwei and Beizhou, fighting with the Jin and Zhao people, and participated in many siege battles and even field battles.

The grain transport convoy quickly left the pier and headed towards Xingzhou.

Xifang Zaiyu is satisfied with his son in other aspects, but he is dissatisfied with one point: he is impetuous and eager for quick success.

The masters talked a lot, and they had some complaints about the new draft horse sent by Sinong Temple.

"It's too much to eat. I don't know why the court made this kind of horse. It's not worth it."

"Stretching is good, stretching is good!" Xixi Ye's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said with a smile: "Although this horse can eat, it is really strong. With a few horses, it can pull a grain of three thousand hu Boat."

When in the station, there are too many people, and the problems may not be exposed and corrected.

"Yes, it saved dozens or hundreds of people from coming out. Tennis pulling is hard work, how can it be served for a long time?" Western Encounter also sighed: "Actually, this is what I admire the most about saints. In ancient times, there were also people who stretched toil. Horses and mules are used, but after all, they are relatively few. Sages have really played well on the way of animals—uh, animals. Tieli horses are actually good, and the labor, money and food saved can be used to repair roads, or go as usual It is the same as winter in the year, dredging the Yongji Canal."

A cart carrying 25 hu of grain cannot be pulled away by one horse, and two horses would be too wasteful, and it would be awkward in the middle.

Sometimes Shao Sheng would hold the two female historians in his arms, quietly feel the tight tolerance of Liang Wangji's concubine, shape his own shape, and reward some precious things passed down from his ancestors in return for his merits.

While the nobles, officials and generals of the Tian family have left, the common people still have to work.After the break, from the river crossing in Puzhou, the spring sowing has ended, and the seven states of Pu, Cao, Hua, Bian, Yun, Yan, and Song have recruited [-] soldiers, and began to transfer grain, grass, and equipment to Hebei.

If the road surface is not smooth enough, it is necessary to reduce the load capacity and reduce the speed. At the same time, the failure rate of the carriage increases, the maintenance cost increases, and the health and life span of the horse will also be affected.

"You don't need to worry about this matter." Xifang Zaiyu reprimanded: "The queen will take a boat from Weizhou to the north, and these hundreds of draft horses will be distributed to pull the cables."

However, given the relatively poor condition of the post roads in Hebei, he had some concerns about getting into a large carriage, which was really a dilemma.

The road is not wide enough for large carriages to travel, at least it is extremely troublesome when driving.

Therefore, the political factions in Hebei Road and Weizhou are still very complicated, and Queen Zhe doesn't like it very much. After a little courtesy, she went to the city to rest.

When you were stationed, there were some people with complicated relationships, and you might not be able to take him down.

Every time he heard these words, Xixi Yuyu panicked with embarrassment, for fear that his son's words would spread outside and become a laughing stock.

If it is on a canal, a draft horse can pull five times the weight of a railway.

If you are not capable, get out, if you are capable, go.No matter how big your background is, if you don't show affection on the battlefield, you will be killed as soon as you say it. No one can protect you, and you will even be held accountable for your background.The exposed problems will be corrected quickly, because if you don’t correct it, you will die, and the Shangguan will not let you go—he will let you go, and the sage will not let him go.

The new iron horse was a little embarrassed.

Among them, Shi Yanci's younger sister was once a concubine of the King of Liang, but now she is a female secretary in the dormitory bureau, responsible for laying the curtains and mats.Simply put, make the bed for Jin.

"To be honest, if there is enough food and grass, this horse is not bad. If you pull a lot, it can be loaded into a cart and loaded with heavy loads."

He was really worried that one day his son would cause trouble for him.

"Grandfather, these horses are not as good as mules." The boy who had just comforted the horses came to a general and said.

"Li Cunxu sent Liu Xun to attack Xingzhou with the silver spear in front of the horse. After losing a battle, Xun surrendered directly."

The West meets again and sighs.If it weren't for the current situation in the Northland, he doubted whether his son would defect to Jinyang and find a job.

In the latest battle of Xindu, they even dared to fight against the formation of the Chengde army, and they also won the victory, although the first breakthrough in the battle was the troops of the imperial army Tiande army.

"Return from Xingzhou." Someone really answered him.

The influence of road surface conditions on the carriage capacity is actually very huge.

But they are professional warriors after all. Although they have been in peace for 20 years, they have not yet fallen to the point of being incurable.After several rounds of bloody tempering, the combat power slowly increased.

The horse "Iron Horse" sent this time has strong pulling power.

Therefore, after more than half a year of fighting in Taiping, such as the Daozhou Army in Guannei, although they were in a state of disarray, they actually went through a process of purification internally, and many of the accumulated evils were swept away.

Weizhou is an important transportation node, and the local area also enlisted [-] masters to go north along the thawed Yongji Canal to Beizhou, Beiping Prefecture and other places.

Xixi Ye looked at these soldiers who had returned from victory enviously, and couldn't help but ask, "Where do you come from?"

In terms of combat effectiveness, when he first came here, he was really not very good. He was defeated a lot, and was ridiculed by the Tiande Army and even the villagers of the Weibo Tutuan.

The young man's name is Xixi Ye, and Dingzhou is full of people. He has little courage and is excellent in riding and shooting.

The younger sister of Li Feng and Li Shi, Li Shi, is also the concubine of Liang Wang. She works as a female historian in the Shang Palace Bureau, in charge of tailoring and sewing, and sewing clothes and mending trousers for saints.

The Tiande army came to report a few days ago that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Chengde army rescued Dingzhou again and was repelled.The Tiande army and the Daozhou army in Guannei took advantage of the situation to launch an attack. Starting from Yu County, the town army was defeated in the battle of Xindu, the general Ma Ke was beheaded, and Jizhou City was captured in one fell swoop.

The Hebei Post Road is currently in a very bad condition. It has been repaired and repaired, but it is still collapsing...

Shao Shude insisted on building first-class national roads because of this factor, because good transportation infrastructure can indeed improve the operating efficiency of the whole society and reduce operating costs, which ultimately benefits everyone.

Therefore, the significance of road construction is extremely huge.

After another year or so, after a new look, it can be put back, at least not in the short term.

"The sage is so powerful, hurry up and recruit me as his personal follower." Xixi Ye scratched his head anxiously, with a look of hating his uselessness.

"Is this the second time Liu Xun has been captured?"

It sounds a bit useless, but if you want to say how bad the old draft horse is, it's not always true.

The imperial court didn't want to wait any longer, and directly transferred a warrior to be the governor of Jizhou, trying to quickly stabilize the situation, and Master Li was there to do this job.

As soon as the queen left, people from all walks of life scattered like birds and beasts.

The town soldiers didn't react for a while, and lost the city.The remnants of the defeated generals gathered together, and wantonly recruited the township soldiers and soil regiments, relying on the remaining counties, or Yingcheng defended itself, or launched a counterattack, and the two sides were still fighting.

"Although this horse has great strength, it has a bad temper, which is not good."

Take a closer look, most of the group of people gathered outside the city of Weizhou today belong to the former tribe of Zhu Quanzhong from Henan.

When you are stationed, promotion does not necessarily depend on ability.

"Ha ha!"

Laughter abounds.

Xixi Ye was so anxious that he twisted and turned on his horse, wishing to fly to Xingzhou, fight the Jin people for [-] rounds, and then become famous in Hebei.

In fact, no wonder he was impatient.Who is Liu Xun?One of Li Keyong's old subordinates, he was the one who led the troops to escort Wang Ke back to Puzhou to inherit the position of Jiedu envoy.He has surrendered, so what are the Jin people going to sing?
Alas, there is no good opportunity!Western Ye sighed.
