Chapter 288: Local Work 1

Under normal circumstances, people are not very talkative when they are tired.

However, the people of the Revival Society, especially the leaders of the Renaissance Society, belong to the kind of human beings who are not quite normal. The more tired they are, the more they talk, and the more tired they are, the more they talk.

It's not for any particular reason. It's all a habit formation. Generally speaking, the cadres of the Renaissance Association have experience as political cadres in the army. In the troops, in the daily training of the troops, in regular training, in cross-country training, in actual combat exercises, in many cases, these training and exercises are in an extreme environment, squeezing the physical fitness of the soldiers.

Under such circumstances, in the process of training, the political cadres are responsible for encouraging everyone, cheering everyone on, encouraging everyone, and mobilizing everyone.

It is precisely for this reason that almost all the cadres of the Revival Association have the experience of serving as political cadres in the army, so when everyone is tired, they often keep talking and encouraging everyone while they are tired.

So, in the revival meeting, the person who is the most physically tired is often not necessarily the one who does the most work at the end of each work. The cadres of the Revival Society, who also have to move their hands and feet, and can't stop talking, are often the most tired people.

In modern times, Hubei belongs to the southern region, and the winter temperature in most parts of Hubei is almost above freezing. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, due to the influence of the climate of the Xiaoice River, the winter temperature in Hubei generally reached about minus ten degrees. Moreover, under normal circumstances, heavy snowy days that are rare in Hubei are also a norm in Hubei winter at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, although there are many famous mountains and rivers in Hubei, in general, hills, hills and plains still dominate. What's more, the distance from Daye County to Wuchang Mansion, from Wuchang Mansion to Yingshan County, even if it is by land, is better than the situation of climbing and trekking.

Han Liang, Guo Boqi and a company of soldiers of the Renaissance Army did not follow the official road in the traditional sense. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the situation of the nationwide official roads had begun to get worse and worse. Moreover, the distance demarcated by Wang Shuhui for the cadres of each county was not in accordance with the official roads of the Ming Dynasty, but according to the distribution route of Wang Shuhui's provincial highways in modern China.

According to Wang Shuhui's idea, with the current industrial production capacity and construction capacity of the Fuxing Society, don't think about building a highway in the Ming Dynasty. And it's not very useful. However, he asked the survey troops of the engineering unit to go on the road with the various county party committees, and he also had the idea of building a provincial highway connecting the whole province in Hubei Province.

For Han Liang and Guo Boqi, although the march is hard, especially in winter, it is even harder, but for those of them who have sufficient military experience, this hardship can still be bearable. What's more, unlike the pure natives of this era, from Korean Liangguo Boqi to ordinary soldiers, everyone's personal equipment is produced by the Fuxing Society through industrial means, and every detail fully reflects the scientific and superior comprehensive equipment of modern design.

So, even though many times everyone has to camp in the snowstorm in the wild, basically this process does not cause much difficulty for everyone.

Originally, according to the regular marching speed of the Fuxing Army, it would take seven or eight days to walk from Wuchang to Yingshan. However, because the team was still undertaking the task of surveying, it took nearly 20 days for everyone to arrive in Yingshan County this time.

Although Yingshan County is located in the northern part of Hubei, and because Dabie and Tongbai Mountain are in the territory of the county, there are almost no decent fields in the county, but because the Wushengguan in Yingshan County is a land artery connecting the Central Plains Henan and Huguang, the land of fish and rice, this small county town located in the northeast border of Hubei is not a dilapidated state of agricultural counties under frequent natural disasters.

Many modern Chinese speculate that the urban conditions of the Ming Dynasty before the Qing Dynasty should be the same as the Qing Dynasty, or even inferior to the Qing Dynasty, because of the backward urban conditions of the Qing Dynasty. If these people were to be given a philosophical question, they would probably be guilty of the mistake of mechanistic historical materialism.

In fact, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the cities of the Ming Dynasty gradually became prosperous because of the prosperous economy. In the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, the cities in the Jiangnan region, the most economically developed region in China, were very large. Nanjing, Hangzhou and Suzhou in the Jiangnan region had a population of more than 1.5 million in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty.

All problems, in the final analysis, are economic problems. Yingshan County is located at the junction of the Central Plains and Huguang, and it is precisely because of the particularity of Yingshan County's geographical location that the economy of this small northeastern county of Huguang is very developed and the market is very prosperous.

In the past, when there was no Fuxing Society to control Hubei, the economy of Yingshan County was relatively prosperous because a large number of grain merchants from the Central Plains had to pass through Wusheng Pass in Yingshan County to enter Huguang to buy grain.

After the rise of the Fuxing Society in Hubei, although the industrial products of the Fuxing Society mainly went down the Yangtze River from the Zhijiang area to the Jiangnan area, and then from the Jiangnan area along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the north into the Central Plains. However, many small and medium-sized businessmen in Henan, Zhili, Shanxi and other places will still pass through Yingshan County to purchase in Hubei.

Of course, the merchants who entered Huguang from Wusheng Pass were mainly Henan merchants.

Therefore, when Han Liang and Guo Boqi led a company of soldiers into Yingshan County, except for some foreign businessmen who showed surprised and panicked expressions on their faces after seeing the troops, most of the locals in Yingshan County did not have much reaction to this.

Because Wusheng Pass was a very important military point in ancient times. Therefore, as early as when the De'an Farm Renovation and Construction Committee of the Fuxing Army entered the local area to carry out its work, two battalions of soldiers had been sent to receive Wushengguan and stationed in Wushengguan. Therefore, the people of Yingshan County have long seen these soldiers with strange clothes and equipment. And they all know that the discipline of these soldiers is very strict.

After the Fuxing Society carried out a large-scale arrest of local forces throughout Hubei, the county magistrates, landlords, and gentry of Yingshan County were arrested by the garrison. At present, he is temporarily in charge of the day-to-day operation of Yingshan County, mainly a military representative sent by the Wushengguan Headquarters of the Fuxing Army to the local area.

Yingshan County is a medium-sized county with a permanent population of 60,000 and a total population of about 100,000. It is difficult to rely on only one army representative and one platoon of soldiers to support the daily work of the entire Yingshan County here.

Just to maintain the daily order of the commercial area outside the county seat of Yingshan County, the strength of this platoon of soldiers has been basically exhausted. What's more, in addition to maintaining daily order in the business district and the county seat, the military deputies also had to undertake the legal proceedings of the masses in Yingshan County.

Therefore, the military representative surnamed Shang was really relieved when he saw Han Liang and Guo Boqi and his entourage enter the county seat. Space-Time Gate 1619
