Chapter 1256 Tribes
The bunkers along the way are not only watchtowers or garrison points, but also supply and repair points.
In the future, there will always be a convoy from the area around Tumut to Uriya Sutai, that is, the city of Chotunan, which is quite an important point, and may not be of much use for a few years, but the importance of this city is highlighted after a few decades, when the Oirats are ambitious to kill them.
It is very important to control Mobei in the future, control the Tianshan Mountain Range, and then control the entire Western Regions, but Tunancheng.
Even now, the construction of these two cities is equivalent to adding two big locks in the west of Mobei, excluding all hidden dangers from the two big locks.
The route from Qingcheng to Nancheng is also the only way to bring a large area under his rule, and this large area can be directly controlled by Hutchison, whether it is tuntian or grazing, it can be used very comfortably, and it is more free to use than the land that was robbed.
Hutchison is confident in mastering these places.
Human, financial, and material resources are all sufficient, and there is no reason not to succeed.
As for Zhang Han himself, he did not consider the possibility of failure.
In the late Qing Dynasty, this was once one of the commercial routes of the Dashengkui firm, this headquarters in Zhangjiakou, Shanxi Province of the firm controlled most of the trade between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, at the peak of the day, this firm in Outer Mongolia had five or six thousand merchants and men, more than 20,000 camels and horses, constantly going back and forth between Qingcheng and Kulun, of course, Kyakhta and Uriya Sutai, this business was controlled by a group of Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou, they effectively seized the dominance of the trade with Mongolia at the end of the Qing Dynasty, before it crossed over, It has accumulated more than 10 million taels of silver from the trade with Mongolia.
It is more than 4,500 miles from Zhangjiakou to Uriya Sutai, and those Shanxi merchants go back and forth at most twice a year, driving camel and horse teams back and forth on the vast grassland, and constantly earning wealth under the threat of horse thieves and wolves among the Mongolian tribes.
In early September, when the first snow fell, Zhang Han and others arrived in Nancheng.
However, Zhang Han did not stay in Nancheng for too long for the first time, because he had to come to Nancheng on the way back, so he only stayed in Nancheng for a few days, met with the garrison, looked at the city defense project that was about to be completed, inspected and met with the garrison personnel of the nearby fire road pier, and at the same time comforted the soldiers who sent supplies along the way...... The convoy is from the direction of Kulun, it is also more than a thousand miles away, it is not easy to go back and forth, fortunately, now the supply points and maintenance points along the way have been repaired, and it is much more convenient in terms of supply.
However, it also proves that the soldiers of Hutchison were still able to maintain relatively high morale under the premise of starvation, and there were no large-scale complaints and frustration, not to mention the unstable morale of the army, large-scale violations of military discipline, and even mutiny.
After the defeat of the Chotu Khan Division, the military, government, military industry, and quartermaster divisions, under the unified promotion of the Military Command Department, determined the plan for the construction of the southern and northern cities through the meeting of political officials, and at the same time began to determine two supply routes along the Kulen to the southern and northern cities.
Before the city was repaired, it took several months to open up the supply routes, eliminate a small number of horse thieves, suppress and beat the small tribes who were not convinced, and at the same time build supply points along the way, and the works that began in the spring were not completely completed until September, mainly because the early supply routes took a lot of time.
Of course, there are also huge manpower and material resources, and from the beginning of this year to the autumn, Taiwan has also invested a lot of money, and there is no feedback, but the financial pressure has become smaller.
This is due to the increase in the income of the account office, which has long exceeded one million yuan in the whole north, and is in the process of reaching two million taels
