Chapter 565 Inspection
The next morning, Zhang Han got up early and ran a circle with the soldiers outside Jining Fort. ((Chinese(text]?>.]
Recently, there are many garrisons in Jining Fort, but fortunately, the place is large enough. A small number of garrisons are stationed in the fort, most of which are stationed outside the fort, and military camps are divided into areas and set up military camps. Of course, the camps are mainly tents, but long spears are inserted in obliquely, fences are erected, arrow towers are erected, and deer antlers are placed on the periphery. These things are meticulous. The roads in the camp are clear and the camps are spacious. In addition to doing a good job of defense, fire prevention, water digging, and toilets are also done according to the rules. This is also the iron rule set by Zhang Han for the army. Even if you only need to garrison for one night, you must build the camps according to the rules.
If the stationing time has passed a few days, the place will be demarcated and a simple school ground and shooting range will be built with mills and other objects, which will be used for training for infantry and cavalry.
When Zhang Han came out, it caused a small sensation. Many soldiers and officers formed a small square formation and ran together behind his commander.
After running for more than a dozen laps, everyone was sweating on their heads. Zhang Han smiled and waved at the soldiers in the square formation, leaving the slant, and there was a burst of cheers behind him.
After Zhang Han took a bath and changed clothes, Li Shenming, Sun Jingting, Kong Minxing and Sun Yuanhua and others rushed over. Although the snow was light last night, the plots on the grassland were frozen in the morning. Although the residual snow was a shallow layer, it was frozen into ice flowers. The ground was very slippery. No one could ride a horse and could only walk to Zhang Han. The faces of several literati were as cold as the faces were ashen, and only Sun Jingting was better. Everyone's faces formed a sharp inverse proportion to the sweat on Zhang Han's head and his rosy face. Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Sun Jingting said: "In the morning, Wen Lan ran around and danced the sword for half an hour. You guys are really not diligent."
Kong Minxing said with some shame: "When I was near Lizhuang, I also got up early to exercise, but the weather stopped getting up early these two days. It seems that I still have to persist."
Zhang Han smiled and said, "In fact, getting up early to exercise can not only strengthen your body and strengthen your body, but also boost your spirit and perseverance, which is beneficial but not harmful."
Li Shenming was beaten to death and refused to get up early to exercise. He immediately shouted impatiently: "It's so cold that we can get in the car?"
Everyone laughed. The carriage was ready for a long time. It was a large manned carriage. Everyone entered through the door and felt a warm feeling when they got into the car. This was the first time Sun Yuanhua took such a car. Everything in the car subverted his perception. The chair was covered with leather, which was very wide and comfortable. Each person sat opposite the seat. There were handrails on the side of the seat, and soft leather was also placed on it. It was very comfortable to put the arms on it. There were boxes in the car, and the secret lattice.
I don’t know what is in it. There is a copper incense burner. In the middle of the two rows of seats, sandalwood is floating. There is a fragrance in the carriage, which makes people feel very comfortable. Under the seats, there are stoves made of cloud copper burning, and high-quality rouge charcoal is burning inside. The carriage looks very ordinary, even a bit weird. The front wheel is small and the rear is too big. Who knows that this is the case after coming in.
"No wonder people say that the car he Yusheng is not something that ordinary people can get on," Sun Yuanhua sighed: "I think this car is a special one, a expensive car that helps carry people everywhere, but there is no such furnishings."
"This is natural." Zhang Han smiled and said, "There is always a slight difference. For example, Brother Zunlu's carriage is much more luxurious than my furnishings. There are many precious east beads embedded on the wall of the carriage. One bead can cost more than a thousand taels of silver."
A top-quality Dongzhu sells for three to five thousand taels. No matter how hard it is, an ordinary Dongzhu is worth hundreds of taels. You can imagine Li Shenming's wealth by using Dongzhu as a decoration on the wall of the carriage.
Sun Yuanhua looked at Li Shenming with a very envious look, and the expression on his face was also very complicated.
The car body moved, and it was almost impossible to feel it. Zhang Han had ordered the curtains on both sides of the car, and the sunlight that had just risen suddenly filled the car.
On both sides of the carriage, we use not glass windows, but serious glass, and of course the transparency is not comparable to glass.
"This thing was bought from Macau." Zhang Han said: "In fact, the manufacturing is not complicated, but the process is controlled by the Thais. No matter how much money you give, we can't make this thing."
Sun Yuanhua snorted coldly and said, "I asked Joey Wong, and he only vaguely explained some principles. In the past few months, in addition to helping with the machine, I also tried to make this thing to see if it can be tried."
"Thousands of taels of gold."
"What?"
Zhang Han smiled and said, "It's made, give Brother Chuyang a thousand taels of gold."
Sun Yuanhua snorted very weakly and said, "I'm so stinking that I'm so stinking, why do I withdraw money for everything..."
Everyone laughed muffled, Zhang Han did not smile, his face was very serious. He Yusheng's manned carriage has now opened many Datong Town, Taiyuan Town and Yansui Town, of course, including Xuanfu Town and routes to the capital and Baoding. These routes are relatively stable places for the He Yusheng's power development. As for going west or south, there is no plan to open the route yet.
If the exhibition goes smoothly, Zhang Han might go south, but at most it will only go to several major prefectures in Henan and Shandong. As for going west, Zhang Han did not intend to set up too many branches in Shaanxi. Not to mention the poverty in northern Shaanxi, there will be a large-scale peasant uprising in a few years. At that time, it will definitely be burned, so there is no need to invest too much.
In the next few years, not only will a large number of passenger carriages be needed in the mainland, but also a large number of manpower will be required to operate the grassland. Several routes will be opened with straight lines of more than 200 kilometers, and carriages will be set up along the way. Other carriages will be good, but the carriages will be of the same magnitude as Europe. They can use glass to make money, but they will make money.
The car body did not shake much, only people felt that the car body was tilted, and the grassland was endless and there was no end to the naked eye. Jining Fort was built in the southeast of Haizi. It belonged to Dingxiang County during the Han and Tang Dynasties, Yunzhou during the Tang Dynasties, Yunzhong Prefecture during the Song Dynasties, Xinghe Road was set up during the Ming Dynasty, and later strategically contracted and abandoned this place, thus becoming a ranch for the Mongols.
With Jining Fort as the center, nearly 500 miles of places are in control from southeast to northwest, southwest and northeast. After the main Mongolian forces withdrew, all the originally small number of nomadic herders also withdrew. The terrain on Jining Fort is relatively flat, mainly with very flat grasslands. Walking dozens of miles to the west, large areas of mountains began to appear, first in large hilly areas, and then the mountains began to steeply, and the mountains that could not be seen began to appear.
The big cart just walked west, and it was easy to walk. Later, the bumps of the car began to become serious. Sun Yuanhua lay down by the car window and looked out. Although the body was so strong, he didn't care. Everyone didn't understand it very much, but later they remembered that this man had just been riding an old-fashioned two-** car from the capital to Datong. The bump in front of him was really nothing to him!
At noon, the cart finally stopped, and more than a hundred cavalrymen who were accompanying Jiang Yi and others dispersed to guard. Zhang Han knew that there must be a large number of whistle cavalry at least twenty miles ahead. Once a large-scale Northern Lu cavalry appeared, there would be a warning from the whistle cavalry. Such a long distance was enough for Zhang Han and others to return to safety.
After everyone got off the bus, they felt a completely different scene from the one in Jining Castle.
Most of the mountains are the main ones here. Of course, because Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, there are almost no signs of blooming on the mountains, so it is even more impossible for mountain villages and mountain people to live and live. The mountains are endless and of different heights, only trees, shrubs, weeds, and they are all following and very lush. After Zhang Han and others got off the carriage, there seemed to be traces of animal movement not far away. A guard symbolically shot a gun into the bushes there, which immediately startled countless flocks of birds and fled.
"A fort will be built here." Zhang Han took the lead in climbing a dirt slope. The shrubs and weeds around were one or two meters tall. The servants needed to cut the weeds and shrubs with sabers, so that people could easily climb up the mountain.
Looking out from the distance on the mountain, the west side is still dominated by mountains, but the end of the vision seems to be dominated by grass, and the terrain gradually becomes smoother.
Zhang Han said: "We came over there, Kalaqin's pasture, which is also a radius of more than a thousand miles. This is the pasture of Tumote tribe. Now there is no felt bag. This is mainly mountainous land, and it was originally the place where they hunt, so of course there is no hunter coming. Before, there was no fort here because of the lack of water source and the distance from the straight line. Now we have controlled the point and can control it downwards. Build a fort here, build another fort in the north, supplemented by Juntai Yandun, Haizi and grassland in the southeast. We will really occupy it."
Kong Minxing stood on the hillside, watching the slopes go down the slopes, full of green and yellow weeds and shrubs. The mountainous landscape of this small hill is quite smooth. In some places in northern Shaanxi where there is a lack of fertile fields, this kind of hill with good fertile soil must have been reclaimed and become fertile fields.
Especially the mountain streams flow slowly, which can barely be used as a source of water for diversion. If this mountainous land is barely cultivated, it can actually produce tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.
However, Kong Minxing smiled and said that there are more than one million acres of grasslands in the east that can be reclaimed. Why do you want to make the idea of these mountains?
"Brother Zhi," Zhang Han stood beside Kong Minxing at this time and asked him, "I walked from east to west for dozens of miles. Here I came here with mountains mainly hills, but not many, and it was still mixed with plains. Continue to go west for another hundred or two hundred miles to be the Taobu, and to the southwest, it is the Hetao place."
"Hetao." Kong Min said: "The Yellow River is only rich, but unfortunately I have no fate to go to this 'sy-shaped' set."
"The Hetao is very long, and now more than half is in the hands of the Beilu." Zhang Han said: "But sooner or later it will be ours, and there will be a chance to ask you to come and see it in the future."
