378 Arrived in Chengdu
The Sichuan army only went out with 60,000, the battle of Wangjiang Pass wiped out more than 100,000 elites of the Great Western Army, not only killed, captured a large number of Great Western soldiers and civilians, that is, Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Great West, was also killed, the head of the public was displayed, less than a month to relieve the siege of Sichuan, the news came back, the people were jubilant, outside the ten miles of the long pavilion in Chengdu City, the Chengdu military and civilians held a grand welcome ceremony for the Sichuan army returning from the battle, and gave their own soldiers heroic courtesy.
Once upon a time, I don't know how many people were worried and secretly packed their packages, so that if the wind was wrong, they would flee immediately, so as not to be harmed by the Yellow Tiger, after all, the strength of the two was too far apart, the Sichuan army was only 60,000, and the Great Western Army was known as a million army, but unexpectedly, the Great Western Army was completely defeated without suspense and unexpectedly.
On the same day, the news of the victory in the first battle of Wangjiangguan was transmitted back to Chengdu, the whole city was boiling, many people set off firecrackers on the street, the sound of firecrackers came and went one after another all day, it was lively like the New Year, this time I heard that Lu Haoshan led the army to return triumphantly, one by one was crazy, and spontaneously went outside the city to greet it, which can be described as an empty alley of ten thousand people.
The Sichuan army is strictly disciplined, that is, on the march also to guard the queue, in fact, along the way there are squires to mobilize the people to send water and food, comfort the army, the soldiers have long been accustomed to fighting, now it is just a relatively large welcome ceremony, in front of the villagers and elders, one by one the soldiers put the sharpened weapons in their hands high, one head high, full of energy, naturally won a cheer:
"Awesome, such an army is estimated to have a fight with the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty."
"Joke, does the Xuanjia Army have so many firearms? Haven't you heard, that firearm is powerful, put a gun on horseback, put a gun and kill one, and reward the pursuers with a few grenades, that thing is powerful, it's just a dry day thunder. Blow up a piece. ”
"These soldiers are so handsome, my daughter is about to leave the cabinet, so I have to let her find a soldier to marry."
"Joke, whose daughter doesn't want to marry a soldier now, now these soldier brothers, with high salaries and good salaries, are also given preferential treatment to their families when they become soldiers, how do you say that, by the way, one person is a soldier. Glory to the whole family. ”
"The Governor is really the god of war, tens of thousands of people are chasing millions of people."
"It's too majestic, no matter what, I also want to practice martial arts, and I want to be a soldier."
In addition to the old woman and the old lady as the main force, there are also many young women, blushing and putting the things in their hands in the hands of the Sichuan army. Of course, tall and handsome people can be a little more, Li Dingguo received these gifts softly, and Sun Xiong, who walked with him. Just holding a banana in one hand and being depressed.
It's hard to hurt, others look like heroes, he looks like a bear, it's not bad if he doesn't scare children.
"The students congratulate Dong Weng on his victory." Found an opportunity. Li Nian congratulated Lu Haoshan with a smile.
Lu Haoshan said a little depressedly: "Mr. Li, do you know that the official doesn't like these ceremonies, why is it so extravagant and wasteful?" ”
"Dong Weng. I really can't blame the students for this" Li Nian said with a smile: "The people are spontaneously sent out to meet the army, these students are not easy to stop, the adults have said that they will enhance the cohesion of the people through various activities, and it is a good thing that the people are so enthusiastic, right." ”
What can you say, Lu Haoshan shook his head when he heard this, and then led the team into the city with a smile.
As soon as he entered the city, Lu Haoshan took a look, and saw a wide and smooth cement road appear in front of him, paved not short, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance, so he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Hey, this cement road was paved so quickly?" ”
"Since the advent of cement, students want to use it to pave the road, which is conducive to enhancing the image of Chengdu, just when the adults ordered to build a demonstration road in the city, so the students took the idea, with the Governor's Palace as the center, built four cement roads leading to the four city gates, so that adults can see the results when they return to Chengdu, and they can also experience the wonders of this cement road."
After speaking, Li Nian said excitedly: "Dong Weng, you see, it only rained heavily yesterday, but this cement road is not muddy at all, and the carriage is comfortable to walk on it, good thing." ”
The soldiers of the Sichuan army also discovered the wonders of this cement road, one by one kept looking, and some people jumped and jumped, and many people also took the opportunity to squat on the ground to touch it by tying their shoes, one by one as if they were incarnated as curious babies, for them, this qiē seemed a little incredible.
Lu Haoshan is not surprised by these, in the eyes of others, such a smooth road is simply incredible, mysterious and charming, but in Lu Haoshan's eyes, it is simply full of loopholes: there is no drainage canal, no zebra crossing, no greening, lack of beauty, etc., I wanted to say a few words, but seeing Li Nian introducing it with great interest, I couldn't bear to hit him for a while.
blamed himself for being too anxious, not explaining clearly, or not drawing a good plan, no matter how smart Li Nian is, he is also a smart Ming Dynasty person, it is impossible for him to think as thoroughly as himself, forget it, let's improve it slowly in the future.
"Mr. Li, how did the people in Chengdu respond? What was the reaction of those wealthy families? Lu Haoshan is most concerned about this issue.
Out of strategic considerations, Lu Haoshan needs to improve the traffic environment in Sichuan, which is a major event and needs the support of the wealthy families in Sichuan, whose attitude towards this kind of demonstration road directly determines their enthusiasm for road construction.
"First of all, no one believed, and when the road was built, it was not dusty on sunny days, and it was not muddy on rainy days, the people were very satisfied with this road, and many people from nearby townships and counties also came to watch, and they heard that the prices of houses near the cement road had risen, and many people took the initiative to ask the government to repair the road to their doorstep, and some people raised money spontaneously in order to repair this road, not to mention those wealthy families, every day they sent people to stare at it, after the road was done, they didn't bother to walk back and forth on the cement road, and it didn't rain heavily the day before yesterday. The old patriarch of the Zhu family also asked the coachman to run the carriage on it. ”
After a pause, Li Nian said happily: "These people have recognized the cement road, and after calculating the cost and loss with them, they all agree with Dong Weng's idea of building a toll road. ”
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
"Owner, if you want to build a road, where should you build it first?" Li Nian asked curiously.
Lu Haoshan said without hesitation: "First build the road from Guangyuan to Chengdu, one is the political center, the other is the gateway of Sichuan, it is very important to connect the two, although the waterway is also good, but it is not bad to go downstream, it is too difficult to go upstream, and the situation in the river is complicated, it is still necessary to build a land route." ”
"It's still Dong Weng Gaoming."
"Okay, we'll talk about these later" Lu Haoshan suddenly said with a straight face: "Mr. Li, Wu Sangui defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and led the Qing troops into the customs, and Li Zicheng's Dashun army was defeated under the joint efforts of the two forces, you know all this, right?" ”
Li Nian put away his smile and said sternly, "The student knows about it, and he wants to discuss this matter with Dong Weng." (To be continued......) R1292
