Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1049 : Chapter 415 Difficult to Travel

Walking along the canal is very labor-saving and trouble-free, but Zhang Shouren and Fushanying are not so lucky... The imperial decree came down early, because the Qing soldiers have been harassing the north for so long, the water transportation has been cut off, and the grain storage in Tongzhou and Beijing is also very tight Now, the canal is full of tank boats going north, and the grain that has been accumulated in those water warehouses for a while ago is quickly transported to the north. www>

Speaking of the great loss of Ming Dynasty this time, it is simply impossible to calculate. Just the grain in Linqing Cang is lost. In the north, the rations of Shandong Province are first transported to Linqing, and then transported back to Shandong from Linqing. The same is true for the military rations of the Lu army. Although it is useless, this is a rule that has been passed down for a century. The army snatched everything, and the imperial court's storage became even tighter.

Warehousing is tight, of course we have to work hard to make up for it, so the canal is full of tank boats. Civilian ships have been banned, and tank boats can be operated by transport troops. Usually, these transport troops carry goods and earn some extra money. I will take care of it, now at this moment, no one dares, if there is a mistake, it will have to lose his head.

Therefore, the canal line in Texas cannot be taken, but can only take the dry road.

The dry road plan is to take the route of Xian County, Hejian, Gaoyang, Baoding, and Jingshi. [

It's a bit of a detour, but Zhang Shouren has other plans, so this route can be considered settled.

Beyond the Texas border, the road is even more difficult.

The whole of Hebei, that is, Beizhili at that time, was severely damaged by the Qing army.The villages were deserted, and some were burned to the ground. There was a desolate scene everywhere, and there were very few pedestrians. The north-south traffic only resumed the main canal road, and the traffic between Baoding Mansion and Hejian Mansion did not return to normal.

The people I met by chance were all local people who had escaped the military disaster. All of them were dressed in tatters and looked gray. When they saw a large army passing by from a distance, they all hurriedly hid far away.

Seeing their sallow and emaciated faces, all the Fushan soldiers felt uncomfortable, but they couldn't imagine it either.Now my own logistics are gradually unable to guarantee, and I am really powerless to help others.

The Fushan Camp is now doing what it can, repairing the damaged roads along the way and rebuilding the bridges. These small things can be done by the engineering team with a little effort, and it doesn't take much trouble.

Most of the prefectures and counties along the way, except for the prefectural capital, were conquered at the beginning. Now when Fushan passed by, a prefecture and county town with a population of more than 20 people now only has a few thousand people at most, and there are blood red eyes everywhere. The wild dogs, the city is also in ruins, and the returned people are like lonely ghosts, wandering in the ruins.

Such a city would definitely not be able to provide the army with supplies. Even the state and county officials didn't know where they were, so it was useless to worry about it.

When passing through Gaoyang, the imperial court had already issued several edicts to urge the Fushan camp's itinerary, and the tone was a bit harsh.

But the logistics are so poor, and the road conditions are so bad, the court seems to be no good.

"Gaoyang City has been burned..."

The cavalry team has not yet replenished its manpower, but has added a batch of signal soldiers who have been riding in each team and usually take on the task of sending orders and communications. The large establishment of people is still far behind.
