Chapter 132: Patrol

Just when Zhu Jianjun was familiar with the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, time passed in a hurry.

Orthodox twenty-two years, August.

Zhu Qizhen officially left Beijing and began his second tour in his life.

When parting, Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhu Jianjun and said: "If there is anything you don't understand, put it aside first, and then deal with it when I come back, if you don't understand the cabinet's disposition, go and ask Master Hu." Remember to be calm. ”

"Don't panic."

Zhu Jianjun said: "The child understands. ”

Zhu Qizhen tidied up Zhu Jianjun's clothes and said, "Okay, I'll leave." ”

Immediately, Dazhang relied on, Zhu Qizhen sat on the jade chariot and went out of the Beijing Division. Head east.

This time, Zhu Qizhen will go along the Chi Road, that is, from Beijing to Zunhua, and then out of the side wall, all the way to Daning.

The comprehensive six battalions of the Beijing camp are 30,000 people, plus the other troops guarding the front and rear and the baggage, there are 50,000 troops, and this army is enough to fight a big battle.

But it was to protect Zhu Qizhen.

In fact, with Zhu Qizhen's original intention, he was willing to take the carriage on the galloping road.

But the Ming officials have admonished.

Without him, Chidao is a novelty. His safety is not too high, and he has had quite a few car accidents since he used the road.

The most thing that happened was that there was a problem with the wooden rails, which caused the Mercedes-Benz carriage to fly out and the car to crash and kill people.

Of course, this loss is not too great, the most important reason, even if there is a gallop, the speed of these carriages will not be too high, there are dead people, but most of the food supplies will not be lost.

This small drawback, under the advantage of galloping transportation, can be ignored by all officials.

But if Zhu Qizhen wants to pass such a means of transportation, he will never be able to.

Zhu Qizhen was unwilling to compromise.

The construction of Chi Road was a policy he vigorously pursued, and it was also fruitful. It's just that Chidao has always been built as a military annex. It's freight for more.

If Zhu Qizhen builds a gallop road in the hinterland, most of the post roads will be built out of the gallop road, and there will be more resistance.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen wants to be a platform for Chidao.

The best way to stand on the platform is for the emperor to use it.

However, the opinions of the hundred officials must also be followed, so they came up with a compromise opinion.

That is, Zhu Qizhen used the gallop road, but the gallop did not run, and the imperial car used by Zhu Qizhen was quite slow, maintaining the same speed as the surrounding army.

While walking, there are people in front of me repairing the galloping road. Naturally, there will be no accidents.

In this way, Zhu Qizhen has a lot more time to inspect.

Zhu Qizhen also intends to take a look.

After all, there are some things that don't take a closer look. What is folded on the fold is deceiving.

The first thing Zhu Qizhen wants to see is Zunhua, to be precise, Zunhua Iron Works.

After years of operation, Zunhua Iron Works has become the largest industry in Shaofu, when the tile thorns broke into the city of Juyongguan, Shaofu proposed to build the south city of Beijing, the military workshop in the south of Beijing to protect, and at the same time suggested that the city should be built in Zunhua to protect the Zunhua Iron Works.

Today, the southern city of Beijing has not become a reality.

Mainly, the south of Beijing is developing too fast. There has been a trend to associate it with the city of Beijing, and the original plan was to build a city from the south of Beijing, that is, by the Lugou River, but now it has evolved into a plan to expand the city of Beijing.

The cost is even more. The finances of the imperial court have always been very tight, and this kind of unurgent thing naturally has to be put aside.

But on the side of Zunhua Iron Works, there is no need to be so troublesome, because it is paid by the Shaofu government, as long as it is approved.

So there is this city, which is known as the Iron City, or the Iron Factory City.

This city, along a river, after all, iron smelting requires a large amount of water, and the scale is larger than that of Zunhua City.

There are 40,000 or 50,000 people living in it.

Most of the blacksmiths in the hands of the Shaofu, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War were recruited here, and after the exemption from the craftsman status, many blacksmiths left. After all, the officials may look down on the blacksmith, but as far as the ordinary people are concerned, the blacksmith and the butcher can be regarded as skilled work, and they still have a status among the people if they have a plan.

Many people are reluctant to work for the government

But there are still a considerable number of craftsmen who have lived in this system for generations, and do not know what they can do without working for the government.

They all stayed.

The Zunhua Iron Works was built by Liu Dingyi, so at the beginning of the construction, the division of labor theory proposed by Zhu Qizhen was fulfilled.

Therefore, the city is full of tracks, and it is railroad tracks.

Without him, there are many mine furnaces in the city, and if they are made of wood, they are prone to fire, and there have been many incidents. And this one is iron-smelting. Iron is worth a lot of money outside, but it's not too valuable in the city.

Originally, it was the high-temperature area in front of the casting furnace, and rails were used, but after a long time, rails were used in the iron factory.

And the whole iron factory is also divided into different fields because of the division of labor.

There are many places in which I still want to play primitive, but I have already seen the shadow of the factory in later generations in Zhu Qizhen. made Zhu Qizhen overjoyed.

He seemed to see hope.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen wants to see the iron-smelting furnace, maybe he can use his shallow iron-smelting knowledge to guide the craftsmen, but Li Xian is furious.

Li Xian immediately knelt in front of Zhu Qizhen and said, "Your Majesty wants to do it, please kill the ministers first." ”

Operating an iron furnace was a dangerous task even in later generations, and several people were injured or killed every year due to problems of one kind or another.

at

In this era of the Ming Dynasty, it is even more dangerous.

Because it's so hot, everyone is shirtless, and a drop of molten iron can kill if they accidentally splash it.

How could Li Xian let the emperor go to such a place

Zhu Qizhen couldn't really let Li Xian die, so he could only regret the thought of going to see it. He inspected the ironworks for a day and ordered that all blacksmiths be rewarded with silver taels.

Then we continued north.

That's it.

Before leaving the customs, Zhu Qizhen received another piece of good news. That is the city built by Yang Hong on the site of the Heilin Palace in the Yuan Dynasty, which has been built.

Please give Zhu Qizhen a name.

Of course, this is the reason why hundreds of thousands of people worked together, and there is also the fact that there is no technical content in the construction of the city in this era, and the city is nothing more than a large rammed earth building.

Naturally, the more people there are, the faster the construction will be.

There is another reason, that is, the winter in Mobei is coming.

In August, it was still the height of summer in Beijing. But in the land of Mobei, it is time to prepare for the coming cruel winter.

If this city is not built, it is impossible for the army to withdraw from Mobei.

The reason is very simple, Zhu Qizhen's meaning is obvious, he wants people to stay here, but there will definitely not be many people left behind because of logistics.

If this city is not built, whoever is sent to stay behind will be sent to death. Moreover, the withdrawal of the army is not an order that can immediately go south. Allow time for the retreat of the great army. The construction of this city must be built in advance.

Zhu Qizhen also knew that this city was built in a hurry, and there may be some quality problems, but if you think about it, you know that in Mobei, heavy snow can bury people, and no one is stupid enough to start a war at this time.

So every spring, it is still necessary to send someone to reinforce it.

Zhu Qizhen was also slightly surprised that this city was built so quickly. He groaned slightly, and wrote: "Dragon City." ”

But the dragon city will fly and do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain.

Wouldn't it be right to take this city as a dragon city.

However, there is one thing that is not very good, that is, everything related to dragons in ancient times was associated with imperial qi, and it was destined to be Dragon City, perhaps in the eyes of many people, some signs are not good.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen never cared, he really hoped that, as this poem said, only Daming Dragon City will never fall, then Xuanfu, Datong, Hetao, Liaodong, Haixi, and other places will have no more military disasters.

As for the land of Ganshan, it will have to wait. If the Western Regions are not included in the territory, the security of Gansu will be threatened, and Longcheng will not be able to shelter Gansu.

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen wrote: "Order Zhu Yi to guard Longcheng, the army will return to the division for the first time, and I will welcome the generals in Daning. ”

After Zhu Qizhen finished writing, he silently read three names: "Shi Heng, Yang Hong, Guo Deng." ”

The Great War in Mobei is over. But in Daning, there is going to be a good show.
