The Henghai Division led by Wu Yankai arrived at the Sailor Wharf today, and another round of grain hoarding began, Zhu Changhao did not go out to greet him this time, after all, in the future, this grain transportation, as well as the transportation of strategic materials, is a normalized thing, and as the king of the 3,000-mile basin of the Han River, it is impossible to greet him every time.

According to the past practice, it would be good to carry out loading and unloading transshipment at the Sailor Wharf.

Rui Wang's Mansion, Zhengqi Hall.

"General Wu, after resting in Hanzhong for three days, your Henghai division will go east to send Prince Zaklitu of Horqin, that is, Wu Keshan, the brother-in-law of this king, to return to the east, and when you come, you will transport more than 5,000 people from the Beiyang Naval Division in Liaodong Bay to Hanzhong, as well as those hard-working women of "Yangzhou Thin Horse".

For specific requirements, you go to the military department, and Mr. Sun will explain it to you. ”

"Yes, lord."

"Also, although Wu Keshan is the king's brother-in-law, you still have to have an extra heart. For those Horqin warriors, Lao Dao has now configured a batch of sleeping pills, and after getting on the ship, let them sleep. ”

"Yes, my lord, the last general will be saved."

"Then go down and get some rest and get ready to go."

"Yes, the last general will take his leave."

Wu Yankai left, and Wu Keshan took his Horqin warriors, like locusts in transit, to sweep away everything on the streets of Hanzhong Mansion.

After all, he had more than 100,000 silver dollars given by Zhu Changhao in his hand.

In fact, Horqin's war horses are at most 150,000, and under normal circumstances, no tribe or nation will sell their horses to others, hasn't it been suffering from disasters since last year?

Zhu Changhao is not so much to alleviate the losses of Horqin, but to take advantage of the fire to rob, it should be to take advantage of the disaster to rob, but the shape is stronger than people, and Wu Keshan has no way.

In the past, in order to defeat the nomadic tribes, it was necessary to fight cavalry against cavalry, but now, this answer is not the only one, firearms are better at dealing with cavalry.

Three days later, that is, on April 15, on this day, the eldest brother was leaving, and Zhu Changhao was directly on the dock of the sailor, waving goodbye.

Wu Yankai was also in the military department and carried out the requirements of this transportation, but in fact, the requirement was just four words: locusts transit.

For non-Ming property and even things, including people, prohibited things, or the Li Fan Yuan, the relevant procedures are incomplete, all of them are served in one pot.

When the wooden sailboat gradually sailed eastward, Zhu Changhao knew that after the grain came, the entire Ruiwang Mansion would also take action.

On April 16, the righteous hall of Ruiwangfu asked Song Yingxing to say specific matters about the excavation of the "Jiahan Canal".

According to Song Yingxing's exploration report, the amount of work is very large, and there is a need to blast and excavate thirteen hills, tamp the earth and rock, and widen the river, so this manpower is needed, and that is really a big number.

Zhu Changhao listened to these figures, did not speak, but pondered for a while and said, "But this Jiahan Canal is the key to our Hanzhong waterway, if it is not excavated, from the river west of Ankang Mansion, the ship is estimated to be able to run aground." ”

"Lord Wang, the three thousand miles of the Han River waterway must be transported, and once the Han River and the Jialing River are connected, the country of abundance will be the rear of Zhongxing after my Ming Dynasty. Besides, from the Chengdu Plain along the great southwest, we can also strengthen Uszang, southern Yunnan, and even directly open up the subject countries of Donghu, Siam, Manipur, and Punggara. Radiate the Indian Ocean and realize the glory of the Yongle years", Wang Zheng said murderously.

"Yes, connecting the Hanjiang River and the Jialing River is actually to revitalize the trade flow between the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and the southwest. Although in the southwest, the mountains and ravines are deep, and the mountains and valleys are interspersed with torrents, we can now make cement and steel. When the time comes, we will open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water, and we will also spread the glory of our Ming Empire", Sun Chengzong also said with a fist.

"During the Yongle period, I was a Daming sailor, and sailed thousands of miles directly, at that time, in the Mampunir and Punggara regions, the word 'Daming' showed majesty, intelligence, wealth, and iron-blooded and civilized. But later, because of my unrequited efforts, after seven times in the West, I stopped. Now, once the sphere of influence of our Ming Empire, the place where the light of civilization shines has been occupied by Franco, Spain, and França (Portugal), and now, these places are 'looking north to the Ming Dynasty year after year', and now natural disasters have come, and we must dig the Jiahan Canal for the needs of these people. ”

When Zhu Changhao said this, he raised his eyes and looked around, and said, "This time the canal is dug and the political cabinet will discuss the excavation matters, and the military cabinet will be responsible for managing the excavation of the people. This time, the number of the people was set at 100,000 people, and the age was between eighteen and thirty years. Half a month later, construction began. During this period, the announcement of the recruitment of Minzhuang will be posted by the royal firm to the whole territory of Daming, and the recruitment time will not be three years. When Minzhuang arrives, the palace will pay for his journey, but he must take the boat and car of the royal house, and the others will not be reimbursed. ”

It is only allowed to take the boat and car of the royal business, which actually has a monopoly meaning, but Zhu Changhao did this, but it was also for advertising, a way to restrict people from other prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty from entering Hanzhong, according to the previously known history, in the next fourteen or fifteen years, natural disasters were frequent, if too many people poured into Hanzhong, it would not be prosperity, it would be a disaster.

At the beginning of May, the matter of digging the Jiahan Canal was finally implemented, and the next step was to determine the specific strategy for the establishment of the cavalry division, after all, Wu Keshan was gone, 10,000 war horses, plus the previous ones, by the way, collect fragmentary horses, and now there are almost 20,000 in the Ruiwang Mansion.

Two cavalry divisions can be formed, but unfortunately Fu Zonglong has not yet come.

Sixty percent of the officers at all levels of the cavalry division were drawn from the five-level military establishment system of platoon, training, battalion, regiment, and brigade, and 60 percent of these middle- and lower-level officers were drawn from the Royal Army University, which had been open for a year and a half. There are also four floors, which are selected from the inside of the new recruits.

Of course, the final commanders of military affairs at all levels also have to listen to the opinions of the general head of the cavalry division, Fu Zonglong.

In the following time, all things were handed over to the full power of the political cabinet and the military cabinet, and Zhu Changhao only approved the necessary personnel and money in a thousand words, and the rest of the time, he went to the ordnance supervisor to check the invention of the steam engine.

During this period, during the five days of the Ordnance Prison, Zhu Changhao and Sun Yuanhua, Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Dai Cang and others cast steam engines.

Although Zhu Changhao studied Chinese language and literature in the 21st century, when he was in middle school, he participated in the National Physics Competition for Middle School Students. When I was a child, I studied magnetic generators and electric motors, and I also watched my aunt repair internal combustion engines.

"I can see far because I am standing on the shoulders of giants", Zhu Changhao is now in this mode of pretending.

In the design workshop of the Ordnance Superintendent, Zhu Changhao directly used the steam engine in the mid-nineteenth century.

To manufacture a steam engine, the most important thing is the strength and air tightness of the cylinder, as well as the piston of the cylinder, the sliding valve, and the linkage shaft.

The appearance of the steam engine, and even the internal combustion engine behind it, and the flywheel is simply an epoch-making change, after all, the inertia of the flywheel can make the steam engine more practical, and in addition, in order to save more effort, Zhu Changhao directly added a crankshaft.

After more than ten days of trials, polishing, and improvements, the steam engine finally appeared.

It's a pity that the power is still too small, because the cylinders, and the flywheels, the proportions are not harmonious, this steam engine now has only two horsepower.

It's just that this first steam engine, no less than a thousand catties, can only be installed on ships, and now Zhu Changhao plans to develop the Ming Dynasty's iron-clad warship.

In addition, in order to maintain the future interests of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the management of the subject country, Zhu Changhao planned to build a railway, in the case of the gradual expansion of the land area, only the railway can meet the effective control of the Ming Empire.

On the first day of May, Zhu Changhao began the groundbreaking ceremony of the Jiahan Canal in Qingyangyi in Mianxian County, but there were not too many laborers to dig it, and now there are only more than 30,000 people.

But let's dig first, after all, the force will continue to increase.

On May 15, just when Zhu Changhao and everyone were finalizing the final steam engine with the most golden ratio, Fu Zonglong finally came to Hanzhong.

Zhu Changhao personally went to the south gate of Hanzhong City to welcome him, and the next step was to receive the wind and appoint.

This time the appointment was not in the Anmin camp, but in the White Tiger Hall in the palace, the White Tiger Lord killed, and Fu Zonglong took over the cavalry division of the Rui Wangfu in time to kill, in order to dye every inch of the iron and blood of the Ming Dynasty.

Fu Zonglong was also in a mood, and handed over more than 20,000 people to you to lead at once, not counting these, even the manpower arrangements inside were handed over to himself.

Fu Zonglong finished taking the oath at the end of the appointment, and said in a deep voice, "Through the ages, heroes have no way to find Sun Zhong. Wuxie (xiè) song stage, the wind is always blown, and the rain blows the wind. The grass and trees in the slanting sun, the ordinary alleys, and the humane slaves once lived. Thinking back then, Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger.

Yuan Jia Caocao, sealed the wolf Juxu (xu), and won the canghuang Beigu. Forty-three years, I still remember the beacon Yangzhou Road. It can be looked back, under the shrine of the Buddha (bi) ci, a crow shrine drum. Who asks: Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"
