Daming kill

In the dark sky, Zhang Kuang walked into Chengdu with his entourage.

As soon as he entered the city, the first thing that caught his attention was the yellow line in the middle of the road.

The yellow line started construction across the city before Zhang Kuang left the city.

In some places, the stones in the middle of the road are cut and removed and replaced with yellow tiles, and in some places, they are directly painted with yellow paint. Habits mostly drive in the middle.

At the same time, it also reminds people and vehicles to develop the habit of driving on the right.

Regarding the function of this yellow line, Zhang Kuang can probably understand that this may reduce the conflict between two noble people who are traveling in a car or sedan chair and neither of them wants to give in to each other.

There are many such records about celebrities in history books!

But Zhang Kuang still doesn't quite understand its necessity.

Just like the real name of this yellow line in the later space-time "Joan Macaro Line" was not understood.

The Joan Macaro Line is named after Joan Macaro, a female surgeon from Nebraska, USA.

Because she saw too many patients injured in car accidents in her daily work, and because she herself collided with an oncoming truck while driving on the highway in 1917 and suffered minor injuries, Joan Mar Kano decided to do something to reduce car accidents.

In the process of thinking, she noticed that drivers always prefer to drive in the middle of the road, and it is this preference that greatly increases the chance of a car collision.So an idea flashed into her mind: draw a striking line in the middle of the road, so that vehicles traveling in different directions can drive on one side of the line.

But when she provided her ideas to the relevant departments, she was indifferent and rejected. No one thought that cars should draw lines on the road.

Joan Marcano kept appealing to the relevant departments. After seven years of unremitting efforts, in 1924, the Nebraska Highway Management Committee finally agreed to conduct a test on a highway No. 99. The result of the test was that the state All the roads in the country are painted with the "Joan Macaro Line" and are proud of it.

However, in terms of traffic direction, most countries in the world use right-hand traffic, but there are also many countries that use left-hand traffic.

This principle originated long before the birth of the automobile.

There is a saying that many British people had the habit of wearing swords in the past, and because there were more "right-handers", they wore their swords on the left side to facilitate drawing.In this way, when passing on the left side, the saber will not touch the oncoming person.

Another way of saying is that when horses are used as the main means of transportation, people get on and off the horse on the left side, so they often put some stones on the left side of the horse to facilitate the horse.In this way, when driving on the left, you can go directly after getting on the horse, which is very convenient and safe.

Since the British colonies are spread all over the world, these countries and regions basically pass on the left, such as Hong Kong.

The right-hand traffic originated from France, which originated from the need for a large number of horse-drawn carriages.In a cart pulled by multiple horses, the driver usually sits on the left.Driving on the right side allows the driver to see the entire road surface, reducing blind spots, which is the same as today's cars.

Of course Li Ping chose to drive on the right side.

Moreover, the yellow line he used at this time is obviously not to reduce traffic accidents, but more to encourage people to develop the habit of driving on the right through eye-catching reminders to improve traffic efficiency.

Of course, Zhang Kuang could not be accused of the history of future generations relying on one side of the road. He was very puzzled by Li Ping's countless strange practices, and he couldn't figure out where Li Ping got so many, which were completely different from the usual ones, and some were even deviant. idea.

After leaving for a few days, Zhang Kuang decided not to rush back to the mansion to rest, but to take a look around the city first to see what new moths Li Ping has come up with in the past few days.

Although the city gates of Chengdu will be closed after dark, there is no curfew in the city, and people are even allowed to live freely throughout the night. This is also one of Li Ping's alternatives.

It is said that after a while, Li Ping also plans to cancel the measures to close the city gate.

Although most of the Chinese dynasties enforced curfews, there were also those who did not, such as some periods in the late Tang Dynasty and most periods in the Song and Song Dynasties.

But that is a specific historical period, and it cannot be a time of war.

I don't know whether Li Ping is too confident or just stupid and bold.

But no matter what, apart from the safety concerns, Zhang Kuang now feels very convenient, and the soldiers and civilians in the city must also be very convenient.

Especially when it was almost completely dark that day, there were still many soldiers and civilians on the road.

Some of them are in a hurry, and some are leisurely.

In order to take care of passers-by, lanterns are still being lit on both sides of the road.

Although there are no commercial activities or restaurants and teahouses yet, it still gives people a sense of prosperity and a lot of expectations.

Soon, a green-decorated building along the street came into Zhang Kuang's eyes.

Although the small building, probably a restaurant or a teahouse, is currently closed, the word "post office" on the red lantern in front of the door and the green door face illuminated by several rows of lanterns are still very eye-catching.

Zhang Kuang knew that this was a newly established department under the Prime Minister's Office of the Security Camp, which mainly provided communication and parcel delivery services for ordinary people.

Zhang Kuang has not used this service yet, and he suddenly thought that he should try it as soon as possible, so as to understand the significance of this people's livelihood through personal experience.

When he was in a trance full of thoughts, a group of men pushing waterwheels and holding axes and other utensils suddenly rushed over on the road, and then ran past like a gust of wind.

Zhang Kuang was startled and looked around hastily.

But they didn't find out where the brightly lit city was on fire.

At this time, two police officers in black on patrol happened to pass by calmly.

Zhang Kuang hurried forward to ask.

But I learned that this is a newly established fire brigade, and it is practicing to quickly fight the fire, so don't worry.

Since the fire brigade has just been established, there is no uniform uniform, and it is not known to many people, so it is often misunderstood and confused about the situation.

But as long as the alarm doesn't go off, it's usually just a drill.

"Fire"

Zhang Kuang chanted this strange word several times, trying to find out what Li Ping or Song Baolai meant by this word.

Wouldn't it be nice to use the fire brigade?
However, Zhang Kuang himself vetoed the term fire brigade. Firefighting is obviously more appropriate and can be given more functions.

Zhang Kuang, who has experience in urban management, knows that it is impossible for a city to have only fires, and just fighting fires is also a waste of manpower.

He had no way of knowing that the word firefighting was also imported from Japan.

But after bidding farewell to the two polite policemen with knives, Zhang Kuang's face quickly darkened again.

There are police everywhere, but there are no government officials.

Zhang Kuang couldn't be happier!

And his mood soon got worse.

Because he saw the gate of the court.

The court is actually not a new institution here in Li Ping, and Zhang Kuang has known about it before.

It was a seemingly unofficial organization established to demonstrate fairness and resolve some ordinary internal disputes after the security camp became larger and larger, and it had many names at the time.

What Song Baolai called most was the Pingyi Hall, sometimes called the Arbitration Office, but rarely called the Court.

Zhang Kuang felt at the time that this institution was not simple, because it had a standard charter, and it also had a trial basis that was constantly being improved, including regulations and precedents, and it was still hierarchical and could be appealed to.

However, since Li Ping had a lot of violations and new tricks, and he was in a critical period of the war, it was impossible for Zhang Kuang to care about it at that time.

Looking at it now, they may have made many names at that time to confuse people on purpose, and the name of the court was the original intention, and the inner thoughts were clearly revealed.

In the name of usage, this is something only kings can use.

Especially now, people no longer hide it.

Zhang Kuang felt uncomfortable and tangled, his face turned green, and he started walking aimlessly on the street in a daze.

Zhang Kuang remained silent with a gloomy face, and his followers didn't dare to speak either, they led the horse and followed silently behind.

It was not until a long time later that a brand-new carriage exuding the smell of paint drove past Zhang Kuang and stopped in front of a brightly lit courtyard not far away, did Zhang Kuang come out of his trance and stop to stare.

But his complexion became worse with the people who got on and off the carriage.

Zhang Kuang knew the people who got on and off the carriage.

That was Chen Zidao, the head of the Second Division, from Macheng, a celebrity and a nobleman in the eyes of all the prisoners of the Western Army.

Because Chen Zidao is currently in charge of screening the prisoners and is an important officer.

Li Ping's attitude towards the prisoners of the Daxi Army and those who fled the city was very strange.

In addition to Li Rujing's subordinates, Li Ping actually made a special allowance for the Macheng soldiers of the Great Western Army.

In addition to the key members of the Lirenhui and the Second Zhidaohui in Macheng, professional private soldiers, and professional bandits, Li Ping paid special attention to ordinary Macheng soldiers. be released.

Those who want to continue serving in the army can add to the boot camp for training.

Mutual reporting and exposing is a unique screening measure for captives in Li Ping's army.

In fact, this is a double-edged sword.

It can find out a person relatively more efficiently and quickly, but it can also easily inspire the evil of human nature and make human nature even more unbearable.

But Li Ping currently has no better choice, especially since most of the victims have already been killed.

Zhang Kuang's dissatisfaction lies in the fact that almost all the Daxi Army in Macheng took the initiative to surrender to the thieves, and their hearts are deplorable, and they should not be forgiven.

On the contrary, most of the key personnel, professional private soldiers, and professional bandits of the Liren Society and the Second Society of the Zhidao Society were speculating and were not so wholeheartedly opposed to Daming.

It's fine for Li Ping to reuse Chen Zidao, but now Chen Zidao is responsible for identifying the prisoners in Macheng and lenient those who firmly oppose Daming in Macheng.

In particular, Zhang Kuang knows that Li Ping is still very puzzling and does not intend to release all the prisoners of the Daxi Army. Most of those prisoners are actually good people who were taken captive. They will be forced by organizations regardless of gender. In the future, there is no plan to allocate land to them or return them to the people.

The more Zhang Kuang thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and his face began to look terrible.

But when he walked to the gate of the brightly lit compound and looked at the eye-catching characters of hospital under the lantern, his mouth became astringent again.

The hospital is obviously another major innovation of Li Ping.

It is said that patients are accepted here regardless of the daytime.

Although the person in charge of it is a woman, and many of the doctors and nurses are also women, Zhang Kuang praised the medical system that appeared very early in Li Ping's army.

And the slogan "Women hold up half the sky" written in simplified characters that is often seen in medical systems at all levels also gave him a deeper understanding of Li Ping's daring to do what ordinary people dare not do and the alternative.

Zhang Kuang is not disgusted with women showing their faces, nor is he conservative.

Especially that talented girl named Gao Lei, from all kinds of miraculous operations, rejuvenation, new understanding of diseases and health, as well as new medicines with amazing effects, Gao Lei is constantly bringing surprises to everyone Gospel for all living beings.

"Health Knowledge" edited by Gao Lei, every time the content is updated, Zhang Kuang will ask for it as soon as possible and read it carefully.

From the hospital, Zhang Kuang immediately thought of many things that touched him deeply and wanted to praise him loudly.

Even Zhang Kuang sometimes felt that he and Li Ping might be the same kind of people.

While chatting with Liu Rushi a few days ago, even Liu Rushi, who should be very resentful towards Li Ping, was full of praise for Li Ping's many unconventional actions, especially the slogan "Women hold up half the sky".

So Zhang Kuang was confused again.

He felt that he understood many things about Li Ping, but he also felt that he did not.Some can be understood, and some cannot be understood.

But whether he understands or not, understands or does not understand, he knows that everything Li Ping does is purposeful, and most of them will not tell him the reasons behind it.

Zhang Kuang's mind is in a mess!
He suddenly realized that he didn't want to stay here anymore, and he didn't know what to do.

Then it occurred to him that he should go out to see it.

After the fall of Beijing, what happened to the world outside Sichuan!He needs to find out.

This is critical!
