Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 627 Pure Pond

The more people there are, the more problems there will be.

In addition to the army, the other 15 people are workers, some of whom are responsible for building roads, and some are responsible for ensuring the supplies of the army, which is very scientific and reasonable.

Workers are not recruited by force. The workers who build roads in western Sichuan are treated very well. Even if they die unfortunately, they still have high pensions.

Under Emperor Zhu's silver dollar offensive, the road construction workers continued to advance towards the snowy plateau with full enthusiasm for work and tenacious fighting will!

In addition, the propaganda machine "Huangming Daily" also started to launch, both the people and the officials of the imperial court strongly supported it, and supported Daming's complete inclusion of the snow-covered plateau into the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Due to attracting the attention of the whole country, in order not to disappoint Daming, the governor of Sichuan, Qu Dajun, and the commander-in-chief of Tibet, Pan Aqiang, who were in charge of the great cause of entering Tibet, went to work quickly.

They each have a heart of patriotism, a heart of making contributions, and are full of enthusiasm. The two people with a huge age difference have gradually become friends who forget their age. .

Litang, the temporary station of the Tibetan army.

If you don't look at the tents of the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Tibet, every place is a landscape.

Unlike the tenderness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery of Litang is full of wildness like the people of Litang.

There are deep valleys and mountains, there are also cliffs, and there are countless snow-capped mountains that do not melt in all seasons.

Here and the grassland grow wildly, stretching as far as the eye can see, and the grass can grow freely, overshadowing the herdsmen galloping on the grassland.

Looking up here, you can see the towering snow-capped mountains, the soaring eagles, and the praying old man Lunda who scatter to the sky.

Bow your head, you can see the endless Maoya prairie, the galloping horses on the prairie, the running yaks, and the boy with Udo

People always use sacred and pure to describe Litang.

Both Pan Aqiang and Qu Dajun fell in love with the innocence here, because Litang is more like a hidden paradise.

Of course, it may also be because the oxygen content in the plateau is low, and the oxygen supply to the brain is drastically reduced, so there are fewer things to think about, fewer worries, and a feeling of being baptized.

Beside the bonfire at night, Qu Dajun said while roasting yak meat, "Your Majesty earnestly hopes that we have the right time and harmony with people. Although there is no favorable location, as long as the hearts of the people are in harmony, Mount Tai will move, and the recovery of the snowy plateau will surely succeed!"

Pan Aqiang bit off Fat Girl's yak meat, and replied: "Old Qu, we are all ready now. The army is strong and the supplies are sufficient. Nothing can stop Daming!"

"Xiao Pan, His Majesty has sent a telegram to indicate that we are going to enter Tibet next. Our strategy is to build roads while marching, step by step!"

"it is good!"

"Speaking of which, Old Qu, I didn't expect you to be as young as a young man in the highlands at such an age. Let me offer you a toast!"

"It's all for Daming!"

The two and the moon drank each other and became three people. After the night passed, the two silently packed their bags and embarked on the journey again.

But the task before them is not as easy as what they said last night, it can be said to be the most difficult task!
From pure Litang to Lhasa, it is a journey of nearly [-] kilometers.

Such a long road, even walking on flat ground, let alone the snow-covered plateau with harsh natural conditions.

There is no avenue, only the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

The Ancient Tea-Horse Road sounds poetic. The road condition is very poor, narrow and small, and it has to cross one after another snow-capped mountains while building roads. Just one word: difficult!

However, this strategy of marching while repairing is correct, because there is no man's land along the way, and there is no food at all.

Then the supply line must be able to bear the transportation pressure.

Qu Dajun was in charge of the logistics and road construction tasks. In fact, he didn't have to do anything by himself. As long as he stood there in Ming Dynasty's official robe, it played a great role in boosting morale.

However, the old Qu refused to accept his old age. He often went to the front line of road construction to participate in the command, which greatly encouraged the workers.

The workers all praised in their hearts: Mr. Qu is with us!

Although the treatment and status of workers have improved, it is still the Ming Dynasty under Confucianism.

Most of the illiterate workers usually think of officials like Qu Dajun as "Wenquxing" who came down to earth and are officials.

Therefore, it would be very encouraging if Qu Dajun went down to the grassroots to care about the working soldiers and civilians when he was fine.

In addition, the old kowtow to the grassroots is really down, it's not the kind of formalism that goes through the motions, and people really brought something to condolences to the grassroots road construction workers.

Unlike some officials and lords, the articles are so loud that they don't actually do anything.

With Lao Qu as a hard-working and ruthless man, the workers continued to advance westward with a high degree of work enthusiasm and tenacious fighting will.

In fact, the touch is mutual. Qu Dajun, who has been with the workers for a long time, is also impressed by the hardworking workers of Daming.

He often praised the strength of Ming workers in his telegrams to Emperor Zhu Kezang.

Therefore, Zhu Kezang did not forget the sacrifices of the workers of the Ming Dynasty, and the names of the hungry soldiers who entered Tibet often appeared in the "Huangming Daily".

One issue of "Huangming Daily" wrote: This group of lovely people carried forward the heroic spirit of "letting the mountains bow their heads and calling the rivers to make way" in the process of building roads, constructing and maintaining the Sichuan-Tibet Highway while marching, and worked hard to overcome the difficulties. Overcoming all kinds of difficulties and dangers, opening up the road to Tibet, and living up to the title of "infrastructure madman" mentioned by His Majesty, I hope that you will continue to carry forward the spirit of "infrastructure madman", so that the journey of Ming Dynasty will be smoother, and the country will be more prosperous and stronger!

Of course, a thousand words are not as good as a silver dollar. Zhu Kezang personally supervises the allocation of funds by the Ministry of Households, and there is definitely a "Zhu Datou" in western Sichuan.

Rich and inspired, but the road to the snow-covered plateau is still difficult.

The road they need to walk is the polar road.

First of all, the biggest problem is the frozen soil everywhere.

Frozen soil, as its name suggests, is a kind of soil that is under zero degrees Celsius all year round. Its soil layer contains a lot of ice, just like a piece of frozen land.

The surface of this soil looks similar to normal soil, but the ice content in it is a serious safety hazard.

In layman's terms, permafrost has rheology, that is, when the ice it contains is formed and melts, it will have an impact on the strength of the soil, which will be a devastating blow to buildings built on permafrost.

Therefore, it is difficult to build roads on it.

Fortunately, there are students from the Department of Architecture of Ming Ge Wu Zhi Zhi College here to guide. On the one hand, they recommend laying more stones before road construction. On the other hand, during the survey period, they also found that the structure of some permafrost layers is quite fragile, which is not suitable for construction at all. the way.

Facing this road section, the students of Gewu Zhizhi College suggested to use the method of "building bridges" to complete the road construction, that is, to drive the bridge piles deep into the permafrost, and then build a land bridge on this basis to ensure the road construction. Never sink.

Of course the cost will be higher.

In addition to the permafrost, it is freezing cold.

Sometimes the food and coal supply cannot be supplied, so they can only eat frozen dry food and drink snow water.

Disease, hunger, cold, and lack of oxygen threatened the lives of Ming soldiers and civilians all the time.

In order to boost their morale, Zhu Kezang specially wrote a ballad for them:
It's a miraculous way,

Take us to heaven on earth,
Highland barley wine and butter tea will be more fragrant and sweet,
The singing of happiness spreads all over the world.
　Jiageng, thank you big brother, my miss is a besieged city for rewarding 10000 starting coins!
