After Suining, it is to shoot the flood and three Taiwan, after noon on the fifth day, the transport fleet arrived at Fucheng, Fucheng is just located at the confluence of the Fujiang River and the Anchang River, the shipping conditions are not bad, around four o'clock in the afternoon, the fleet arrived at the destination of the Anchang Town Wharf.

The convoy departed from Wuhan and passed through the Yangtze River, Jialing River, and Fujiang River, passing through Yueyang, Yichang, the Three Gorges, Chongqing, and Fucheng, lasting 19 days, covering a distance of more than 1,200 kilometers, carrying more than 1,200 tons of steelmaking equipment and materials, as well as more than 200 personnel.

Liu Yun looked at the unfamiliar Anchang Town, but also full of emotion, in the 21st century, he has been here to travel, as if to visit what new Beichuan construction, now is still the county seat of Anxian County, water transportation is smooth, rich in products, is a famous rich place in Fucheng area.

Before the transport fleet was stable, someone came to say hello, and when I asked, I knew that it was Tongda Transportation Company, and Lu Zuofu asked someone to take the talk, asking them to wait for the arrival of Hu Jiansheng and Liu Yun, and the person who came to say hello was the person in charge of the Anchang area, Manager Ma Xingchi.

Ma Xingchi is very sophisticated, never mentioned business matters, but actively helped Liu Yun and Hu Jiansheng, arranged a group of people's accommodation and goods warehouse, when everything was arranged properly, it was late at night, fortunately arrived at the destination, everyone's spirit was unusually excited, they wanted to do everything well that day, and then they could rest peacefully for a few days.

Early the next morning, Liu Yun and Hu Jiansheng took the initiative to visit Ma Xingchi, Tongda company is located on the main street of Anchang Town, it is still easy to find, through the company's guy to guide the way, the two went directly to the manager's office, just entered the door, found that it was full of information and books, Manager Ma sat on the ground, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have stayed up all night.

Liu Yun and Hu Jiansheng were about to step forward to say hello, Ma Xingchi suddenly let out a burst of wild laughter, holding an ancient book, like a treasure, fixed his eyes, and wrote "Anxian County Governance Strategy, Large and Small Jinchuan Baggage Transportation", the two looked at each other, and they were a little unconscious.

Ma Xingchi also saw Liu Yun and Hu Jiansheng at this time, and quickly stood up, invited the two to sit down, and asked the guys in the company to come in to clean up the house, while preparing to pour water and tea in person, and apologized to Liu Hu and the others again and again.

After asking Liu Yun and Hu Jiansheng about their intentions, Ma Xingchi smiled slightly, and handed over the ancient books in his hand, and the two of them were not polite, and immediately flipped through it, roughly during the Qianlong period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the marching records of the two conquests of Jinchuan and Anchang's heavy troops, or it should be accurate to say that it was the transportation records of Fucheng and Anxian at that time, transporting all kinds of military supplies, such as transporting food, soldiers, gunpowder and guns, and even including several bronze cannons of thousands of catties.

When Liu Yun and Hu Jiansheng saw this, they couldn't help but move in their hearts, and suddenly thought that since they could transport thousands of catties of cannons into Jinchuan, and Sichuan County was on the way to the march, it is said that with the development of the times, the means of transport are becoming more and more advanced, and they should be able to transport tens of thousands of catties of heavy objects, and in the steelmaking equipment in Sichuan County, the heaviest single piece is more than ten tons.

In fact, Liu Yun's appetite is even lower, and he only needs to transport a set of generator sets, a one-ton steel-making furnace, and 300 tons of alloy to West Sichuan County, even if it is done, the rest of the equipment and machinery can only be temporarily placed in the warehouse in Anchang Town.

After learning Liu Yun's thoughts, Ma Xingchi also agreed, thinking that he was a wise move, after all, the battle of Jinchuan was two hundred years ago, and it is still unknown whether the official roads and post stations along the way can operate normally.

Then Ma Xingchi told Liu Yun and the two about the land transportation situation in western Sichuan, these places are mostly mountainous and hilly, usually relying on people's shoulders and backs, and the transportation of cattle and horses, although over the years, some cars and small trucks have been introduced, in fact, they can only be used for short-distance passenger transport, if long-distance driving, light oil and maintenance is a big problem, not to mention the cars of this year, can not transport anything.

Liu Yun asked a most fatal thing, that is, the road conditions and safety issues along the way, Ma Xingchi hesitated, after a moment of silence, he said a little about the history of the transportation company, it used to be the post station system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after the Xinhai Revolution, the state affairs were in chaos, everyone lost their jobs, in order not to starve to death, only to set up land transportation companies around the country.

The business of Tongda Transportation Company is mainly concentrated in Fucheng and Anchang, and it is rare to receive work to go to West Sichuan County, because this kind of transportation affairs often start from the city, go to Dujiangyan, pass through Wenchuan County and Mao County, and then enter West Sichuan County and Jinchuan.

Ma Xingchi personally believes that Fucheng and Anchang Town, although it is closer, only need to pass through Beichuan County, through Mao County, and then to West Sichuan County, but for the road situation, it is really not very clear, usually only some tea and horse merchants love to take this road, or to the horse team to carry the main transport, and most of the transport is leather goods and tea salt, and Liu Yun's steelmaking equipment, there is no comparison at all.

Liu Yun also smiled wryly, and yes, if the transportation conditions were so easy, Sichuan would not have started to build railways and steelmaking factories after the founding of New China, so he had to plan for the worst, first transport a set of small steelmaking equipment, and the generator set into western Sichuan County to try, plus a hundred tons of alloy, it is already the limit, as for the rest, let's talk about it later.

Ma Xingchi pondered for a few minutes before he smiled bitterly and said with some hesitation, "Liu Gongzi, if it wasn't for an acquaintance's introduction, we really didn't want to take this order, you must know that the road conditions are not familiar, it is a big taboo in our industry, once there is an accident, we-".

Liu Yun also knew that Tongda Land Transportation Company was already the best transportation team in this year, in order to reassure Ma Xingchi, he had to comfort him, "Manager Ma rest assured, if there is really an accident, even if there is no return, as long as you do your best, I will definitely not blame you."

Hu Jiansheng also helped on the side, and also testified by example, proving that during the cooperation with Liu Yun, everyone was very happy and harmonious, and Liu Dongjia was not a person who messed around, he was more understanding and supportive of many things, and what he said was even more golden.

Ma Xingchi's land transport company, and Lu Zuofu's water transport company, are actually peers, and they often help each other and benefit each other, and they can be regarded as brother companies, since there is Hu Jiansheng as a guarantee, he gritted his teeth and took this order, so he told Liu Yun that he would set off in three days, and they would send people to check the road conditions along the transportation as soon as possible, and the second would also pack and clean up all kinds of transported objects, so as to avoid the problem of slipping or losing objects halfway.

After everyone reached a preliminary agreement, Liu Yun and Hu Jiansheng returned to the fleet, and held a joint meeting on the Cancer warship, not only the captains of Minsheng Company, but also experts from the Hanyang Arsenal, platoon commanders of the guards, and Jia Lian, a second lieutenant of the Jiangfang Army.

Liu Yun informed everyone of the actual situation, except for Hu Jiansheng, who had to stay in Anchang Town and continue to deal with the liaison between Mr. Lu, Hanyang Arsenal, and Tongda Land Transportation Company, the others could return to Wuhan tomorrow.

In addition, due to the problem of road conditions, it is necessary to temporarily store the steelmaking equipment in the warehouse of Anchang Town, and need to be guarded by the guard team until these equipment are transported away, Liu Yun appointed Zhang Sili as the captain of the garrison, leaving two guard platoons and a logistics platoon, Yu Zitian served as the deputy captain of the garrison, and he himself took the ordnance experts and the remaining guard forces to go to West Sichuan County with the Tongda Company.

The plan often can't catch up with the changes, everyone's joint meeting has not been finished, the hydrographic inspector on the pilot ship suddenly came to report that the Fujiang River and the Anchang River have been dry, and it is estimated that it will be too late to return to the voyage.

Before the matter was over, a large group of Sichuan troops suddenly appeared on the dock side of Anchang Town, surrounding large and small ships and equipment warehouses, with a preliminary estimate of four or five hundred people.

Liu Yun was calm and calm, and ended the joint meeting in an orderly manner, leaving only Jia Lian and Hu Jiansheng, who looked relaxed, leisurely drinking tea, waiting for the arrival of the chief officer of the Sichuan army, and did not wait long, a colonel of the Sichuan army asked to see him on the shore.

"Colonel of the Sichuan Army", Liu Yun was also stunned, so he had to personally pick up people on the ship, and only after being polite to each other did he know that this person was the commander of the garrison regiment in Fucheng, Colonel Fang Dianjun, on the order of the Chongqing Governor's Department, came to Anchang Town to assist Adjutant Liu Yicheng and guard a batch of steelmaking equipment.

As soon as Liu Yun showed Liu Xiang's hand, Colonel Fang was half a cut shorter, and hurriedly humbled himself as a humble position, respecting Secretary Liu like a boss, and looking obedient to his words, Jia Lian and Hu Jiansheng were secretly shocked, and they were a little unfathomable to Liu Dongjia, and even a little nonsense.

Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Liu Xiang's edict did not hide any organs or anything like that, so he was not polite, and began to directly assign tasks, handing over the heavy responsibility of guarding the warehouse to Colonel Fang and his subordinates, and when he went to West Sichuan County, he also brought more guards.

Seeing Colonel Fang, who was about to settle down, Liu Yun remembered the agreement with Liu Xiang again, and also helped the Sichuan army to build the Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant, so he had to use his brain to think about which experts to arrange.

At the same time, a dozen or so technicians and a platoon of guard forces were set up to form the preparatory committee for the Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant, with Dai Lei as the preparatory director and Li Hans as the deputy director, and should be directly responsible for Liu Yun for the affairs.

Liu Yun drew the future Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant that he remembered, as well as the general layout location, and the possible mining area, one by one, and secretly handed it over to Dalett, asking him to complete the survey as soon as possible, and after he led the team to West Sichuan County, the remaining equipment was used by him.

In the days before departure, Liu Yun was not idle, drove the Cancer warship directly ashore, according to the predetermined plan, the ship of more than 300 tons, disassembled into six armored transport vehicles and a large pile of scrap iron, each armored vehicle weighs more than 20 tons, can carry 20 tons of cargo, equipped with 88mm tank guns and M2 heavy machine guns, can defend against ordinary firearms, the power is two 800 horsepower engines, the maximum off-road speed is 42 kilometers per hour.
