According to the instructions of the general Zhengxi, countless machines, fuels, workers, and technicians from all over the country gathered in Chang'an, where they would build the industrial base where the Red Shirts strategically advanced westward, and the aluminum factory, iron factory, coal mine, and machine factory were all planned on the Guanzhong Plain.

In order to cooperate with this large-scale migration, the Yellow River was dredged, the railways were paved farther, the official roads between the cities were also dug drainage ditches, paved with stone slabs and sand, and on rainy days, they were no longer afraid of mud.

Shanxi has fallen into the hands of Liu Ziguang, the Kangxi regime rushed north, trying to reach the land of Longxing in Liaodong through Mobei and restart the stove, but the Mongolian steppe was already the world of Zamu and cavalry at this time, and the poor hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners were killed by the Mongols in the vast desert, and the large group of people and horses walked together, and there were many countless lonely people who were either beaten by the wild wolves on the grassland, or were captured by the Mongols to be slaves, and even the Kangxi Emperor had to accept the request of the current Chahar Khan Zamuhe, leaving a million taels of gold and silver treasures looted from Shanxi, which was regarded as paying the money to buy the road, which bypassed the desertAfter crossing the Great Xing'an Mountains and arriving in Liaodong, there were more than 100,000 casualties along the way, and only 50,000 people were left in Liaodong.

Jinzhong is a rich land, and it is impossible for the imperial court to let Liu Zi take over, so when the good news of Shanxi's recovery came, the cabinet quickly drew up the candidates for the Shanxi Provincial Political Division, the Judicial Division, and the Command Department, and appointed a highly respected official to report to the emperor for the governor, and then rushed to Taiyuan Mansion in the starry night. However, Liu Ziguang's actions were faster, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not loot all the silver coins, Shanxi's famous business and ticket numbers were also collected under the name of Zhenwu Hou, and the signboards and personnel were still used in the original way, but Hou Ye re-injected capital and fully controlled it, and since then, Liu Ziguang also has a large-scale ticket number in his hand - Dadexing.

Fighting the Western Xia is different from fighting the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Western Regions are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, there are many deserts and uninhabited along the way, there are no roads, lack of water sources, it is difficult to ensure the supply of troops, especially for the modern army such as the Red Shirt Army, it is a serious constraint on the wave of power, so Liu Ziguang is now devoting all his energy to infrastructure construction, pouring his financial and material resources to build a railway from the Central Plains to Chang'an, as long as the steamer car comes in, the transportation of large equipment will not be a problem, Liu Ziguang will control the resources of several provinces and tens of millions of silver taels to operate as a whole, coupled with his own iron fist control, all problems are solved。

When laying railways, it is common to encounter people's fields or ancestral graves, if the cost will rise greatly, and the precedent will not be able to control it as soon as it is opened, so Liu Ziguang instructed that in such a situation, generous compensation will be given, and those who expropriate the fields will be given twice the area of the same soil elsewhere. It stands to reason that such conditions can be regarded as generous, but there are those who do not open their eyes and do not go on the road, and their lives are to obstruct the construction of the railway, some people want more compensation, and some people really honor their ancestors and refuse to touch the ancestral graves. The latter situation is more difficult to do, after all, the social atmosphere is so moving, people's ancestral graves are tantamount to a great shame, the first railway party will not take care of it, the railway from Xuzhou Mansion just built to Henan Shangqiu, encountered such a situation.

According to the plan, the railway needs to requisition the ancestral grave of a large local family, the family is rich and powerful, naturally does not care about compensation and death, and is unwilling to requisition land, but the railway will be rerouted, and the cost of digging tunnels will be astronomical, not to mention the construction period, and the small boss in charge of the construction will be greatly delayed, and the small boss in charge of the construction is forced to be anxious, and the workers injured the family of the large family to protect the grave, this can poke a big disaster, the family immediately notified the relatives of the senior officials in the capital, and the relatives of the high-ranking officials are not others, it is the old man Hou Suihou of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, Hou Suihou, when he heard that Liu Ziguang was going to dig their ancestral grave, he was angry, this is not clearly to destroy the feng shui of the old Hou family！ Good duanduan, a son was made a eunuch by Liu Ziguang, not to mention, now he is bullying the ancestors and ancestors again, it is really unbearable!

Hou Sui immediately contacted a group of people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and heavily participated in Liu Ziguang's book, even the emperor felt embarrassed, not to move the grave, it would affect the plan of the Western Expedition, and it was really impossible to say that it was difficult to move the grave, and after weighing it again and again, Zhu Youxiao decided to give Hou Sui this face, and gave Liu Ziguang an edict to Liu Ziguang, instructing him not to destroy the feng shui of the Hou family.

Things to sue the royal court, if it is an ordinary person, it will be let go, but Liu Ziguang is not so, because the other party is the old opponent of the Hou family, so he will not eat this deflated, so a 6 viaduct from the Hou family's ancestral tomb across and too hard, is a pile, did not hit the Hou family's land, this is the latest elevated cable-stayed steel cable bridge, the world is also forced out by the Hou family, this is good, the steamer car from the top of the head every day, the ancestors of the Hou family can not sleep quietly, the effect is not as good as moving the grave, the Hou family is furious, and once again entered Beijing to sue the emperor, but this time the emperor no longer supports them, people have not set up a pier in your old forest, what is the fun？ The Hou family suffered a dumb loss and had to leave in a huff, but Hou Sui hated Liu Ziguang even more since then. Of course, this is all a story that will be born slowly in the future, after all, building a railway is not an overnight thing.

Building a railway is not an overnight thing, fighting the Western Xia is also the same, is a huge project, Zhu Youxiao understands this very well, recently he is following Huang Zongxi to learn the historical story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacking the Xiongnu in the north, Huang Zongxi said wonderfully, Zhu Youxiao listened attentively, listening to the excitement, when the young emperor unconsciously compared himself with Liu Che, he felt that he and the greatest emperor in the history of the Han people really have many similarities, when he was young, he was suppressed by the queen mother, and when he grew up, he worked hard to govern the rebellion and expand the territory outside, which can be called a generation of British lords, and at this time Yuan Chonghuan and Liu Ziguang, who were preparing for the western expedition in Shaanxi, were also naturally imagined by Zhu Youxiao as their own Wei QingAnd Huo Quai, an old man is serious, a forge ahead, there is this pair of generals, coupled with the power of the Ming Dynasty, why worry about the unevenness of the Western Xia, the border troubles are not extinguished, and so on after the Western Xia people were driven to the extreme west, the Ming Dynasty will rise to the level of the four seas, and all countries will come to the court, I am afraid that even the Hongwu period did not have such a majestic atmosphere.

"At that time, I must climb Mount Tai and seal the Zen to announce to the world the great achievements of the Apocalypse Dynasty!" Zhu Youxiao swore an oath, and at the same time, he explained to Wei Zhongxian: "Qin Misi's actions will be slowed down first, I need people to expand my territory." Wei Zhongxian lowered his eyebrows and answered with pleasing eyes, and Huang Zongxi next to him just smiled but didn't speak.

The cavalry of the Western Army marched west along the Hexi Corridor and soon occupied Longxi, Tianshui and other cities, the Western Xia army was busy with civil strife and had no time to look east for the time being, but the cavalry of the Ming army, which was only equipped with firearms and bows and arrows, was not able to attack a big city like Lanzhou, so the two sides temporarily tacitly truceed, Yuan Chonghuan even got on the line with the Western Xia rebels, Chu Hubu, and Ubashi, and was willing to use weapons and silver money to fund him, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging the civil strife in the Western Xia, the longer the Xixia people were in turmoil, the greater the chance of the Ming Dynasty, for this Confucian wisdom of Yuan Inspector, Liu Ziguang did not approve or object, after all, everyone has their own way of playing, and he can't say that Yuan Inspector's strategy is wrong。

Shaanxi is such a situation, the Western Army and the Red Shirt Army are doing their own thing, each holding their breath to see who fights well, the follow-up forces of the Western Army are constantly arriving, these recruits are all Wu Sangui went to Huguang again to recruit soldiers, Hunan people are brave and good at fighting, loyal and disciplined, but also greatly enhance the strength of the Western Army, improve the composition of the troops.

Liu Ziguang is also expanding the army, the martial arts hall of the Beijing Division, the martial arts school of Zhending Mansion, as well as the new recruit training camps of Luoyang Mansion and Chang'an City, are crowded with newly recruited students, and a large number of Yan Zhao children have been recruited into the army, but the identity is not the Red Shirt Army, because the Red Shirt Army is Liu Ziguang's private army, and the expansion to 30,000 people has made some people in the imperial court look sideways, so these newly recruited troops can only be given to the establishment of the regular forbidden army of the imperial court.

Outside Chang'an City, thousands of soldiers stood upright on the school ground, at this time it was already June, the scorching poisonous sun hung in the sky, and people were dizzy, but the soldiers were wearing thick fat jackets and armor, standing there without moving, for an hour, and occasionally the soldiers who fainted on the ground were quickly dragged down, and the others didn't even look at it.

"The quality of this group of recruits is very high." Liu Ziguang praised. bsp; "They are all solid-eyed croppers, and the man has a tenacity, and the handsome man said that he would not let him rest, and he would not dare to move." said the officer in charge of training them.

"Hehe, not only the croppers, but also the scholars, are they not the same tenacious when they enter our Chang'an University campus?" Liu Ziguang said with a smile.

This is true, there is a team in the queue is the Jingshi Wutang senior class of the student soldiers, Xia Wanchun, Liang Shiyi and others are also like ordinary recruits, wearing armor and standing under the scorching sun, these former suave, fine-skinned and tender scholars have become warriors with bronzed skin and resolute eyes after a few months of baptism, and they will no longer tremble when they see the rain of arrows in the sky, and they will not be nauseous and vomiting when they see their heads, but their combat skills and physical fitness still need to be strengthened.

Liu Ziguang sat under the pergola, wearing sunglasses and holding a cigar, watching the recruits train his goddaughter Xue Xiangying, wearing a belly pocket, sitting on the mat behind to play, a few maids followed, the little girl was only three years old, because there was no mother, Liu Ziguang was particularly fond of her, she grew up in the barracks, and was the righteous daughter of the Hou Ye, the little guy was pampered, it is conceivable that the stars do not give the moon, under the doting of these rough old men, the little girl has developed a rude stinky temper.

I don't know why my daughter cried again, Liu Ziguang frowned, and was about to coax his daughter in person, when suddenly the guards came to report: "The Qiqi handsome Jingshi condolence group has arrived." ”

Liu Ziguang was stunned for a moment, the guard looked at the handsome face, and added a sentence that he was smart: "It was Dong who personally led the team." ”
