It was dawn again, and Chongzhen's Tianziwei began to prepare for the expedition again.

"Your Majesty, are we going to go through Taiyuan and Tongguan to fight Xi'an?" Liu Feng asked.

"Let's go to Baode and attack Yulin from Baode!"

"Yes!"

Chongzhen remembered that the Qing army Azig crossed the Yellow River from the inconspicuous place of Baode, bypassed the back of the Tongguan known as the "first pass", and entered Shaanxi to approach Chang'an. Li Zicheng was also forced to give up Xi'an and become a rogue again!

Chongzhen's army is all cavalry, only 5,000 people, if you attack head-on from Tongguan, Li Zicheng can't hold out, Chongzhen is helpless, but if you are like Azig, you also cross the river through Debao, then Tianziwei is like a wild horse, you can do whatever you want in Shaanxi!

Datong is not far from Baode, and you can reach it two or three hours faster on horseback.

So Chongzhen's army rushed to the edge of the Yellow River non-stop, and the difficulty was not that the road was long, but that it was to cross the Yellow River!

Although it was winter at this time, and there was not much water in the Yellow River, it was fifty or sixty meters wide at its narrowest point. It seems that the deepest part of the river is also several meters deep, and you still need a boat to cross the river.

At this time, there were only a few small boats on the Yellow River, and there was no one on board, obviously the boatmen saw that the army was afraid and ran away!

If an army of 5,000 wants to cross the river, it will take many days to cross the river!

Liu Ru saw Chongzhen's worries, and comforted: "Your Majesty, this is a ferry, there shouldn't be only a few small boats, we can go to the county order and ask him to find a way to find a boat for us?" ”

Xie Tingting also said: "Your Majesty, my sister and I grew up by the Yellow River, we can row, there is no boatman, we will take you across the river!" ”

Wang Dahu said in a violent temper: "Your Majesty, these boatmen don't know what to do, they actually ran away, we have not committed any crime against them, or help them fight thieves, why don't you give Weichen 500 Tianziwei, I will catch them back, and find some boats by the way!" ”

"Wang Dahu can't!" Chongzhen said, "The reason why the boatmen fled was because they were afraid of us, and we shouldn't have harassed them!" ”

"Your Majesty, then what should we do, should we just rely on these few boats to cross the river!" Wang Dahu said unconvinced.

Chongzhen's mind suddenly flashed such a thought, and said, "I want to build a bridge for these people!" ”

The chairman has a person who drinks water and does not forget to dig wells, so I will also come to a person who crosses the river and does not forget to build bridges!

These people are not afraid of my army, so I must let Tianziwei set an example.

Build a bridge for these people, then they will remember that this is the bridge built by the emperor's son of heaven, and they will also be grateful for his kindness as the emperor, and most importantly, they can add points in front of the beauties!

Chongzhen remembers that when he was a child, he read an article in school: "Li Chuangwang crosses the Yellow River".

It is said that King Chuang was worried about the people, and he was eager to cross the river immediately to save the people. But who knows that the Yellow River is always not frozen, and King Chuang's beard is white. Later, a boatman heard about this and built a pontoon bridge overnight, so that the army could cross the river smoothly.

The article is fictional, but it gives Chongzhen inspiration, why can't he also build a bridge! He has 5,000 Tianziwei, and what is the difficulty of building a bridge with 5,000 people! He had also learned some knowledge about building bridges in his previous life, and he could use it just in time!

Although it is the Yellow River, because it is the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, the narrowest part of the river is only fifty or sixty meters, and it should not be difficult for 5,000 people to build a simple wooden bridge, at least it is much stronger than a few small boats to cross the river slowly!

Just do it! Chongzhen immediately gathered the people of Tianziwei and the miscellaneous battalion and told them to cut down trees nearby, and the emperor wanted to build a wooden bridge for the people!

Of course, doing good deeds cannot be left to the people, and it is also necessary to consult the people nearby where is the most suitable place to build a bridge, after all, the people in the vicinity are the most familiar with the water conditions of the Yellow River.

Chongzhen first asked Liu Feng to invite the local elders to come to condole and ask about the division of the fields, and by the way, to see if there were any corrupt officials and corrupt officials, whether there were village tyrants and scoundrels, and if there were, he ordered Tianziwei to raid the house and deal with it!

Then Chongzhen said to hundreds of Tianziwei and the female soldiers of the art troupe: I just saw that there were only a few small boats on the Yellow River, and there were no boatmen, so I think the people are afraid of us. We need to change our image in the hearts of the people. Now the female soldiers of the art troupe and the four of Tianziwei are in a small group, going to the people and telling the people that we are going to exterminate the thieves and build a bridge for the people, so that the people will not be afraid of us!

So the female soldiers of the art troupe, under the protection of Tianziwei, entered the people's homes and publicized the policy of dividing the fields according to Chongzhen's instructions!

These people saw so many cavalry, they were very scared, but seeing that there were many women in these soldiers, they also relaxed their vigilance, and the female soldiers of the art troupe asked when they saw people: We are the emperor's Tianziwei and the art troupe, the people of the world have suffered from Li Zicheng's thieves for a long time, the emperor decided to drive the royal car to exterminate the thieves, and now we want to cross the Yellow River to level the thieves, the emperor saw that the people crossed the river hard, in order to facilitate the people to cross the Yellow River in the future, decided to build a wooden bridge for the people, may I ask the uncle and aunt, do you have any suggestions for building a bridge?

After these two things, slowly some people spontaneously came to cut down trees and build bridges with Tianziwei! Some people also sent food to Tianziwei!

Wang Dahu worked hardest, there was a girl who actually sent him a nest and helped him wipe his sweat, and the other Tianziwei were coaxing, Wang Dahu was a big man who was also shy and blushed!

The people saw that these Tianziwei were polite to them, they were really cutting down trees and building bridges, and they did not invade and rob them like other armies, this is the emperor's Tianziwei, the emperor divided the land for us, and built bridges for us!

It's not people who don't come to help!

The last person to help was the boatman, and one of the people quipped: "Lao Yu, are you afraid that the emperor will build a bridge for us, and your boat will not be able to collect money to cross the river?"

The others laughed.

The man named Lao Yu also smiled embarrassedly.

In less than a day, a simple wooden bridge with a length of 80 meters was built!

Looking at the built bridge, Tianziwei and the people were very happy!

An old man knelt down to Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, this Yellow River has never been bridged, I don't know how many people died because of crossing the Yellow River and falling into the water, you have now helped the people build such a bridge, and it will be easy to cross the river in the future, your great kindness and virtue will always be remembered, you give this bridge a name!" ”

After Chongzhen picked up the old man, he said: "This bridge was built by Tianziwei and the people, so let's call it the military-civilian bridge, so as to tell future generations that the army comes from the people, and the soldiers must always remember the people, so that they will be loved and supported by the people!" ”

"Good! What a civilian-military bridge! The old man said with tears in his eyes, the emperor is a good emperor, he wants to tell everyone! In the future, there will be people who will rebel against the emperor, and he will give up his life to whip that person a few times!
