Chapter 62 50,000 catties of food
Dong Yongwen, the chief soldier of Baoding, was the closest to the Beijing division, and after receiving the order from the military department, he rushed to the Beijing division within an eight-day period.
He had seen the combat effectiveness of the Tartars, and he was a general when he changed, and he was defeated by the Tartars and almost lost his life. Later, in the war with the Liukou, he made a lot of military achievements to become the current Baoding General Army.
Therefore, when playing against Tartars, you must be careful, this is his magic weapon to protect himself.
Dong Yongwen took 5,000 soldiers from his headquarters, and as soon as he crossed the Lugou Bridge, he saw a city standing on the east bank of the Yongding River, and wondered when a city was built here.
Adjutant General Chen Deyong said: "General, I asked the people of the Inspection Department just now, this city was built by Wang Yue, the chief soldier of the Wanping Regiment. β
Dong Yongwen asked curiously: "Didn't it build it by the imperial court?" β
"General, it was built by Wang Yue's private people."
Dong Yongwen felt a little incredible, and I raised my eyes to look at the outlines around the city.
"Shhh Is this Wang Yue richer than the country? Rich enough to build such a big city! β
He said to the deputy general Chen Deyong: "Tell people to call the city gate, and say that we will lead the army to the king and enter the city to rest for a day or two." β
Such a big landlord, it's a bit sorry for the ancestors if he doesn't fake a little oil and water!
Wang Yue was discussing the military situation with Wang Zhuo and Li Zixiong when he heard a report that the Baoding army had asked to enter the city to rest. He wondered, I am a private territory here, not a state or county, and his Baoding Army's request is too strange, right?
So he used the walkie-talkie to order Feng Yuanshan, the commander of the fifth battalion guarding the city, that the officers could enter the city, and the other soldiers could only be stationed outside the city, and the starting point city could provide food and water.
He called Sun Jinyong again and asked him what he wanted to do with the Baoding Army.
Sun Jinyong said with a smile: "Second young master, they are here to fight the autumn wind." I must have heard that this city is your private property, and you want to come in and eat a big family. β
"Oh!" Wang Yue understood, as if he had heard of the Ming army's style.
As soon as Dong Yongwen heard the report from his subordinates, only officers were allowed to enter the city, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
NN's, you militia leader didn't listen to my second-grade general soldier, is it still against the sky? I am the master of the diligent king, if I am lazy, I will have your good fruit to eat.
But if you are angry, you can't lead your troops to attack the city, and then you won't be good.
He said to the deputy general Chen Deyong: "You follow me into the city, let the soldiers camp on the spot, and prepare to bury the pot and make rice."
Chen Deyong said: "Yes, General! β
The starting point city opened the city gate, and Dong Yongwen rode into the city with a group of officers.
Wang Yue drove Wang Zhuo and Li Zixiong to the city gate to greet him. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, the three of them got out of the car and walked head-on.
Dong Yongwen and other Ming Dynasty officers were riding horses and standing in the city gate, looking at the city in a daze. He was about to lose his temper as soon as he came in, but when he came in, he was dumbfounded.
The starting point city is still full of construction sites, but the underground pipes have been covered in many places. The municipal building in the center of the city has been repaired to five floors and the tower crane has been installed. The residential building has been repaired to four floors, and the construction of the second, third and fourth phases of the project has begun. Primary and secondary schools, technical schools, kindergartens, military barracks, hotels, arsenals, and so on are all under construction.
In addition, a honeycomb coal stove factory has been built, which can be used by people living in buildings to cook in the future, and the cinders can be recycled to make bricks or pave roads.
The sight in the city stunned the Ming Dynasty officers, who had never seen such a scene.
Until a small white car drove over, Dong Yongwen didn't dare to take it big, and everyone would have a certain sense of awe for things they couldn't understand.
"It's General Wen Dong of Baoding!" Wang Yue came over and asked.
Dong Yongwen got off the horse and said: "It's the general!" β
Wang Yue, Wang Zhuo and Li Zixiong saluted almost at the same time: "Wang Yue, the chief soldier of Wanping County Regiment Training, Wang Sihua has seen General Dong!" β
A group of Ming Dynasty officers, including Dong Yongwen, were a little unclear by the etiquette of the three of them, because they hadn't seen it.
Looking at their outfits, they are as strange as the sights of the city!
Wang Yue saw that they were stunned when they looked at the three of them, and waved his hand and said, "General Dong, please follow me into the city." β
Dong Yongwen sank his face and said, "When I saw General Ben, why didn't I salute the military." β
"Oh!" Wang Yue smiled and said, "First of all, we have already given a military salute just now, and that is out of politeness. Second, I am only the general soldier of the regimental training, and I do not belong to the army of the imperial court. β
Dong Yongwen is a smart person, what he said just now was to test this Wang Yue's reaction.
He saw that Wang Yue was full of confidence, neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't take him, a second-grade military attachΓ©, in his eyes at all. Look at the many strange things in this city, and you can build such a big city next to the capital.
So guessing the origin of this Wang Yue should not be as simple as it seems.
Dong Yongwen laughed and said, "Then it's bothering." β
Wang Yue also said with a smile: "General Dong, please!" β
Wang Yue drove in front to lead the way, and the Ming Dynasty officers rode horses to accompany him.
Chen Deyong immediately stepped forward and said, "General, there is a bit of an evil sect here!" β
Of course, Dong Yongwen had already seen that the clothes of the people in this city, the white houses, the huge hanging towers, and the cars running back and forth revealed completely different scenes from those shown anywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
"Let's talk less and look more, there is this foundation in the land of Jingshi, this Wang Yue should not be simple." Dong Yongwen said while holding the reins.
Wang Yue took them to the place where the last group had dined.
"General, this city is under construction, so please rest here, if there is any neglect, please bear with me." Wang Yue said
"Well said!"
Dong Yongwen got off the horse and walked into the shed, found a chair to sit on, and the other generals also followed him into the shed.
The people who lead the troops are not so particular, which makes Wang Yue appreciate it more.
"General, we are carrying food for the soldiers outside the city, and we will ask the general to send someone to contact us later."
Dong Yongwen came to his senses when he heard this, and asked, "Oh, I don't know how much food?" β
Wang Yue smiled and said: "50,000 catties of polished rice should be enough for the general's men and horses for ten days." β
All the officers were overjoyed when they heard this, it was a year of famine, and grain was the most expensive, and they didn't bring so much grain with them when they sent troops. I can only go to the local and imperial court to ask for food, and this grain is not so easy to ask.
Dong Yongwen rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Okay, good!" Haha, Wang Tuan is always so righteous, Dong thanked him. β
After that, he arched his hand to Wang Yue.
"General Dong fought for the country, worked hard all the way, Wang Yue just tried his best, and didn't dare to say thank you!" Wang Yue arched his hand.
Dong Yongwen immediately ordered someone to come over to contact him.
Wang Yue is not worried about grain now, and a large central grain reserve depot has a stock of one million tons. He is most worried about eating vegetables, the collection of vegetables is more troublesome, and it is not easy to preserve, mainly relying on some vegetable wholesale market goods.
