Three-five-zero, we're going to catch someone!

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

This famous sentence in the mouth of the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty refers to the traffic artery connecting Sichuan and Shaanxi at the feet of Li Mo at this moment, which is called the Golden Bull Road by the locals, especially the section from Nanning, Shaanxi to Guangyuan, which is steep and abnormal

As the commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard, Du Dazhuang's heart was hanging in his throat, if something went wrong in this kind of place where there was no village and no store, he wouldn't even get support.

Fortunately, this time I entered the river on a temporary basis, and very few people knew about it, and at this moment it was already past the dangerous area, and a company of Praetorian Guard soldiers had already played an outpost in front, plus some of the good men who were proficient in mountain warfare were transferred from Nighthawk, so nothing happened along the way.

After Guangyuan, the road is a lot wider, the mountains and deep gorges, the scenery is beautiful, and it also brings some fun to this journey, although the New Year, but the mountains and rivers can still hear the unique singing voice of the woodcutter from time to time.

Sichuan is the heart of the southwest land, and it is also a place with complex ethnic composition, and you can see people wearing various ethnic costumes from time to time along the way.

Perhaps it is precisely because the Shu Road is difficult to walk, so there are many ancient civilization relics in Sichuan, starting from the Western Qin, to the Han and Tang dynasties, and to the Yuan, Mongolia and Manchu ethnic groups, all of which have left their marks here.

This is a magical land that has given birth to countless outstanding Chinese sons and daughters, but it is also trapped on one side because of the difficult roads, forming its own unique culture, and at the same time, it is also more closed than the outside.

If you want Sichuan to integrate into the Chinese family, the road has become the top priority, so although Li Mo came to Sichuan temporarily this time, he still urgently called Zhan Tianyou from Henan.

Zhan Tianyou and Liang Dunyan are friends, and they still keep several photos of themselves when they went to the United States to study, so Liang Dunyan immediately recommended him to Li Mo after he arrived in Honolulu, but at that time he was traveling around the country, surveying and mapping, until he joined the Ministry of Construction after entering the three northeastern provinces.

Although the MIT graduate could not become the father of the railway, he stood out from the crowded Ministry of Construction and became one of the chief designers with his excellent skills

Unlike those engineers who later returned to China after completing their studies under Li Mo's funding, he had traveled all over the country over the years and had a large number of first-hand surveying and mapping materials, so when Li Mo asked the Ministry of Construction to ask an expert who could solve the Sichuan railway problem to accompany him into Sichuan, Zhan Tianyou became a good candidate.

"Zhan Gong, it's difficult." Young Master Li looked at this "big celebrity" with burning eyes and asked about the Sichuan Railway.

For Li Mo, who likes to call the engineer this worker, the strange habit of that worker, Zhan Tianyou and everyone are also used to it, looking at the endless mountains and deep gorges in front of him, he is also worried, this is not a small project, Sichuan and the Northeast and even the Central Plains are different, here the mountains are stacked, the water is deep and the forests are dense, if you want to build a railway in this kind of place, not to mention anything else, just to make a tunnel from so many peaks is enough to discourage many people. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

What makes him feel tricky is that what Young Master Li wants to build is not a railway, he wants to extend Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei to Sichuan, and he must also take into account the needs of entering Tibet in the future, and at the same time he must radiate to Hunan and Yunnan-Guizhou, which is equivalent to wrapping up all the provinces bordering Sichuan.

Let's not talk about how much it costs, I'm afraid that the workers are not enough for three or five hundred thousand, and the terrain in this area is complex, the geological conditions are changeable, and it is technically very difficult, so he really doesn't dare to order this head immediately, because everyone knows that although Master Li prefers Gao Daquan, he is extremely serious in doing things, if you nod your head but don't do it, then you just wait for criticism.

"Money is not a problem, I can immediately let people set up the Southwest Railway Company, in addition to the government and my personal contribution, you can also raise money from the local people, and there is no need to worry about labor, Borneo can provide at least 300,000 people to you, in addition, Chengdu here wait for me to meet Liu Bingzhang, I believe that he should fully support the collection of more than 100,000 laborers should not be a problem."

The main reason is that it is very difficult here, so I am also planning this, and the specific needs to be considered by the Ministry of Construction, but I hope to complete the construction of the Sichuan railway network within ten years, so that the first railway into Sichuan can be repaired in three years. ”

After listening to Li Mo's words, even Zhan Tianyou, a railway madman, did not dare to agree easily, Sichuan was almost surrounded by moats, and it was extremely difficult to build a railway through Sichuan from the Qinling Mountains, not to mention the railway network all around?

Fortunately, the deadline given by Young Master Li is ten years, otherwise I am afraid that everyone will be scared away, but to ensure the opening of the first railway within three years, he has no bottom in his heart, and after thinking about it, he said: "The emperor can't give another year?" ”

"No problem" Li Mo immediately agreed, Zhan Tianyou dared to take on this project, which made him very pleased, but it was one more year, and Young Master Li didn't have anything, but he had time

There are still more than ten years before the war, and the time is still enough, I dare not say that the old appearance of the land of China will be changed in more than ten years, but the bottom left by the Great Qing Dynasty is still there, at least the north has almost not been destroyed, so at this moment, Hua can still afford it.

What's more, he has always regarded the strategy of the later US imperialists to use foreign resources first and save themselves to consume the world, so he has circled a large number of resources around the world, as long as the safety of shipping is ensured, it is enough for himself to consume for a long time

Sichuan is the core of the southwest land, if you want to activate this heart, it is not enough to rely on the Shu road and waterway under your feet at this moment, you must have a major artery that runs through the whole province of Sichuan. In this way, this great treasure house can be rejuvenated and truly appear in front of him, once the heart of the southwest also beats, then the entire land of China will be reborn.

The pace of solving the traffic problem was also a lot lighter, but just a few steps away, Chen Ping, who was accompanying him, had already handed over the news he had just received, and looking at the news, Li Mo sighed deeply.

The army has finally entered Xinjiang.

Regardless of whether it is Han or other ethnic groups, for anyone who walks out of the Central Plains, walking out of Jiayuguan means another world, and it is a complete change in the physiology of the heart and mind

"I don't dare to look at Jiuquan County, but I hope to be born in Yumen Pass."

This ancient poem vividly depicts the fear of being cut off from the mother culture, and vividly expresses the fear and uneasiness of the Western Regions in ancient times.

Back then, he took 60,000 Hunan soldiers into Xinjiang, and now Sun Jiugong also followed in his footsteps, and also brought four cavalry divisions and one infantry division into Kejiang, with 60,000 people

The entry of the army into Xinjiang represents the full-scale start of the Northwest Battle, and there are only two answers left, either to win the same victory as Zuo Zongtang, or 60,000 troops to be dragged to death here, as for defeat?

Li Mo didn't think about it at all, it wasn't arrogance, but that he believed in the ability of the Northwest Military Region

"Your Majesty, Chengdu is calling, Liu Bingzhang and representatives of all ethnic groups in Sichuan have arrived in Chengdu."

"Your Majesty, I have made it very clear that the situation in the south has changed a lot, and the agreement signed between us on the basis of keeping the south as it was before is no longer valid, so I hope that His Majesty the Ambassador can immediately notify the country and immediately evacuate from the south of our country, otherwise we will not be able to guarantee the safety of your country's property and personnel here."

Dou Mai's angry Hu is straight, let alone him, I am afraid that all diplomats and ambassadors in China would not have thought that Li Mo would be so ruthless this time, and after learning that there was another emperor in the south, he directly demanded that all countries withdraw their troops immediately

Why the withdrawal? Quite simply, at a time when his strength and power had swelled to the point that everyone began to tingle their scalps, he was no longer willing to let the south continue to be occupied by various countries

After taking over as ambassador to China from Ogna, Dou Maile received advice to beware of Li Mo's ambitions, but he didn't expect that first the lightning unification of the north, and then the coveting of the south at this moment, it was only two years

What to do?

Tang Shaoyi, who was hiding opposite, almost closed all the doors to a negotiated settlement, and since he came to Shanghai, he only sent one message, if the puppet emperor in the south does not step down, if the south does not return to the original state, he will wave south of the Yangtze River

If he had probably taken Tang Shaoyi's words as wind in his ears before, but at this moment, he did not dare to underestimate anything, because Filitman, who led the fleet to the aid of the Dutch, did not know for some reason, but actually led the fleet back to Hong Kong and Canada, and not only had he personally returned to China to report on his work, but also issued a request for the Far East Fleet for the first time not to go north to intervene in China's internal affairs for the time being

What the hell is going on?

Dou Maile didn't know, but it was certainly not easy to make the British Empire's Far East Fleet bow its proud head

Without Filitman's sitting, without a powerful Far East Fleet, the warships of Germany and France and other countries would definitely have no intention of continuing to defend the Yangtze River, not to mention that Sichuan was occupied by China, and it would be no good for anyone to hold on

There are only two ways in front of him, one is to start a war immediately, and the other is not to give Li Mo any excuse

"Your Majesty Tang Shaoyi, according to your words, if any emperor steps down immediately, will he continue to let the treaty be fulfilled when he returns to the country? Ensuring that the southeast coast is not disturbed?

These powers are really reluctant to give up the south, and what the emperor said is not wrong at all, Britain will definitely raise this issue in order to keep the right to continue to enslave the south

Still.

"Yes." Shao Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if the situation in the south does not change, then we are still willing to fulfill the agreement." ”

"Then I know what to do."

Dou Maile was about to nod, but Tang Shaoyi stopped him with one hand and continued: "Your Majesty, in addition to ensuring that nothing happens in the southeast that makes us uncomfortable, I also have a reluctant request. ”

Tang Shaoyi sniffed: "Please allow us to temporarily enter the British Concession under the Ambassador's Majesty"

"We're going to catch someone"
