Villager of Daming

Chapter 955: The road is rough and the crime of bombing a bus

The fleet moved ahead against the current, always faster than the land route. Zhu Wentian looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and his mood was flying. There are no expressways on this land, nor are there national, provincial, county, and rural roads!

The broken road is just for people to walk on, and the same goes for the army's advance. The official road of the Ming Dynasty was very poor, and the previous dynasties were even worse.

The later Qing Dynasty was not that strong. Otherwise, how could the 25,000-mile Long March go through so many mountains and ridges? Why can't the encirclement and suppression team keep up?

Those were the five-year plans that were drawn in circles later, and the infrastructure construction madman worked hard, so we had the world's fastest logistics speed.

Those who have less money can use some cheap logistics companies, and those who are willing to spend more can get it faster and with the best timeliness in the world.

In peacetime, this kind of logistics serves the people. During war...

"Hope!" Zhu Wentian had a lot to say, but finally it was reduced to one word.

"Brother Hanhan, what are you talking about?" Zhu Xi heard this and asked.

When there were no outsiders around, and the official was on another ship, he would call him Brother Hanhan, without losing face or lowering his status.

Zhu Fang knew very well the identity and status of Brother Hanhan, the village guard of Xiaqiu Village, who was responsible for the existence of the sacrificial hall and the mountain temple.

Normally, there are two places. If an elderly person dies, the older one's coffin will be placed near the courtyard of the memorial hall.

Then this tablet was engraved on it. Not many people would dare to guard such a place, especially if they could sleep peacefully at night.

Many village elders bravely go there at night to see who can make no mistakes in their life and who has a clear conscience.

Xing, the village guard of Xiaqiu Village, went to try it out on his own. It was so scary. Thanks to Brother Hanhan, he was there to drink with him and take him back to his home.

Zhu Wentian found that he was distracted and responded: "Stack, break, uh-huh!"

"Yes! The trestle bridge is lagging behind. It's best to work hard to build the road now. In fact, I can build it directly to the north, and then encounter a small desert..."

Zhu Qing talked about the affairs of Xi'an Prefecture, just as his third brother was the fief of Taiyuan Prefecture, and actually had the hearts of the entire large area.

The same is true for him. There is oil in the north, and it will be inconvenient to transport it if the road is not built. After building the road there to Xi'an Prefecture.

Further north is the grassland. There is a desert, which is not very big. It is called Maosuwu.

He planned to work hard to plant trees and grass and clear up the desert to make it easier for caravans to travel. There was a big difference between walking where there was water and walking in the desert.

Generally, where there are water plants, you can take a mare, cow, or ewe with you after giving birth, and you can replenish milk along the way.

Even if the river cannot be seen for a short period of time, there is still no shortage of water.

As long as you are not lactose intolerant and you drink milk and eat grass, you don't need to eat anymore, and you will be fine if you stick to it for a month or two.

"Second brother, let me talk about my place first. Many of the trestles and plank roads are broken and no one is repairing them. People's livelihood is in turmoil during the war. Do we need to repair them?"

Zhu Fan quickly brought the topic back. Things in Xi'an Prefecture were not urgent. It was Taiyuan Prefecture now.

There are many mountains in this location. Unlike other places, which are mainly plateaus, even if they are high, they are generally high.

It is convenient to travel by water at this time. In winter, the river freezes. The team is large and there are many goods being transported, so it is easy to fall.

"Third brother, if you don't build the plank road, blow it up and blow up the mountain in the way. You have saltpeter here.

You have the materials here. It's easy to make explosives, but... you need to transport the materials to Nanjing for production.

It's the same over there, you can't make your own explosives and bullets to avoid suspicion, you have to avoid suspicion. "

Zhu Fang rejected the proposal to build a plank road. It would be easiest to install explosives. He did not build it because he was afraid that some people would say that he wanted to rebel.

Especially when the prince's eldest brother succeeds to the throne, all the vassal kings' armies will have to be adjusted. "Let Father arrange for people to come and build it. It will cost more to transport it back and forth. At worst, we will not allow our people to have access to the arsenal."

Zhu Fan thought of a compromise. It seemed that he was about to blow up the mountain, but in fact he had to move forward on the water.

The team did not stop when passing through Jingle County, but had to stop when they arrived at the Ninghua Inspection Department. The team traveling by land sent a telegram and could not keep up.

The idea of ​​​​moving on is a good one, but the animals don't agree. They have stopped on the road to eat grass and drink water, and wait for a rest before rushing on. They will definitely not reach Ningwuguan today.

Zhu Wentian came down to pack the sheep and still ate kebabs. There was no city around.

The year before last in history, after Xu Da and other teams were defeated, Yan'an Marquis Tang Zongsheng and Qianhu Tang Cheng began to build the city and dig trenches.

The city wall is three feet high, about ten meters high, and the moat is about three meters high to defend against attacks by the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Now that they have won the battle, the two of them have no reason to build the city wall, including Ningwuguan. There is a large area in the north as strategic depth.

The line with Lin is completely occupied by the Ming army. Even if Beiyuan fights back desperately, the beacon tower will respond first. Everyone just needs to hold their weapons. What is the purpose of the city wall?

The enemy uses broadswords, spears, crossbows, and fire blunderbuss, and our side uses rifled guns fired with breech-loading ammunition. Who should build the city walls and dig trenches?

Since the city was not being built, the two military attachés and their sergeants farmed and raised a lot of sheep.

By the way, we also went to the villages and villages where people lived within a few dozen miles to practice their marksmanship. The people saw the wild animals being cooked into delicacies and planted trees and grain with confidence.

In some places, there are few trees and grass. People are worried that their houses will be washed away by mudslides during heavy rains in summer, so they have to plant trees and perennial herbs and irrigate them with stream water.

Pasture is the most suitable. Once planted, it is harvested every year, and the roots are getting deeper and deeper. Raising sheep, let alone selling them, at least allows my family to drink goat milk, eat mutton, and wear sheepskin coats.

So the life of the Ninghua Inspection Department was good, organized, disciplined, and unified when working. The sergeants sent from Nanjing did not need to patiently persuade, but gave orders directly.

Everyone worked hard to learn knowledge, and by the way, they raised rabbits, dug ponds, and raised fish and poultry. It happened that ducks and geese had water, otherwise they would run to Fenshui and be easily washed away.

There are also military horses and military oxen here. After plowing their own land, they will help the people do the plowing.

Even if it is difficult to divert water to a location on the mountain, soldiers carrying buckets of water would have to grow small grains.

The teams disembarked one after another and moved their things to the shore. The boat immediately turned around and went back to meet the livestock team on the way, and at least unload the cargo carried by the horses and mules.

Yan'an Marquis Tang Zongsheng and Qianhu Tang Cheng came to see the four princes, and then they watched Hanhan and his friends handling the sheep together.

Zhu Wentian took a closer look at Tang Zongsheng. This boy was punished in history. The reason was that he was good at post riding, and he used the post horses as his own.

Naturally, the postman also has to work for him. This is called private use of the bus! The key is at the critical moment. If there is a delay in delivering the message, who will he deal with if he doesn't deal with it?

But he was given his title again. After all, he had been fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang since he was eighteen years old, and he was particularly good at fighting!

You can't just throw away someone who is so reliable and capable of winning a battle just because he's just taking a bus, right? At worst, give him a special car.

Tang Zongsheng didn't know what happened in his own history. He was stared at by a man who always had a silly smile on his face. He felt a little frightened and muttered: "What are you looking at me for? Could it be that I am a fool?"

"伱~~Silly~~!" Zhu Wentian didn't say anything, and the four princes next to him shouted to Tang Zongsheng together.

　No more today
