Chapter 879: I'm Too Late

When Zhu Fugui learned these news on the special train of the Jingui Railway, he couldn't laugh or cry.

The Jingui Railway is actually part of the Ming version of the Xianbeilian Railway.

The starting points of the Daming version of the Xianbeilian Railway are Tianjin, Vladivostok, Busan, and Temple Street.

According to the plan, in the future, all these four ports will be connected to the railway, and will be connected to Europa through the main road of the Simperia Railway.

It is not difficult to see from the map that these four ports basically cover the whole of Northeast Asia.

In addition, it has four excellent waterways in Northeast Asia, namely the Heilongjiang River, the Songhua River, the Haihe River, and the Nakdong River.

In general, except for Dalian, which has been robbed of its own opportunities by Busan, which is crying silently, the beautiful transportation network of Greater Northeast Asia Co-prosperity takes care of the development needs of all parties.

However, the war has somewhat slowed down the progress of the construction of the Ming Dynasty's major infrastructure to recast China, and at present, only Tianjin and Vladivostok have been built and connected to the railway.

The railway in Vladivostok was mainly built to transport rice from the Black Water Protectorate and Nauruan gold from Nauru.

It was not built by the Minna Simperia Railway Construction Committee, and it has not yet been connected to the Simperia Railway Project.

Only the railway from Tianjin to Naturalization is part of the first road and bridge in Eurasia.

Naturalization is the Hohhot of later generations.

In the third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty gave the name of this place as "Naturalization City", which means "returning to the court" and "accepting education".

In the second year of Qianlong, Qianlong renamed this place "Suiyuan", which means "appeasement of the distance".

Whether it is naturalization or Suiyuan, later generations are regarded as discriminatory and abolished like Dihua and other names.

However, the Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to this, and after the recovery of Shenzhou, this place resumed the old name of the Naturalization City.

In fact, Zhu Fugui felt that Qianlong's old man's "Suiyuan" was not bad, but it was really not "far" for the Ming Dynasty, so he agreed to the name change reported by the household department.

During that period, the names of places in various parts of China were changed, and the twists and turns of changing administrative divisions were like carp crossing the river.

Some of them, such as [Kill Hu Fort], → [Kill Tiger Fort], [Pinglu County], → [Pinglu County], etc., are easy to change, and you can restore the old name with a stroke of the pen.

Or something like Baotou Lu Bu changed to Jiuyuan Lu Bu or something like that, it's not too difficult.

However, China has a long history, and all kinds of classics and local chronicles are as vast as smoke, and many famous place names are competing with each other in several regions, which is really a long war of words.

As far as Zhu Fugui knows, there are at least 30 lawsuits in the household department to this day.

This is still a large number of squires from all over the country have been sent away, and now it is relatively simple, and no one has thought of snatching the right to speak in the "hometown of so-and-so", otherwise there will be countless kinds of nonsense.

Every time he thinks of this, Zhu Fugui is very pleased, fortunately, he started in the almost blank paper of North Yinzhou, and he Xia Ji Ba took a series of place names, and no one said that he was a good name.

The train arrives at naturalization.

Zhu Fugui did not have time to meet with the local officials, so he changed to the fathead fish airship and the other 36 airships on which the entourage was riding, crossed Jiuyuan, Wuhai, and Yinchuan, and arrived at Wuwei, an important town under the jurisdiction of the governor of Ganshan.

Because of the overall extermination of Agu Bai and Bai Yanhu's remnants, as well as the overall construction of the Northwest Railway to support the war in Western Chu, Zhao Xizhu is currently the governor of Ganshan and the capital of the Western Regions.

Speaking of which, it is somewhat of an An Lushan who leads the three towns by himself.

Of course, Ganshan has declined since the Tang Dynasty.

The Guanzhong Plain, which gave birth to the strong Han and Tang Dynasty, is no longer the land of kings, and Zhu Biao's ancestor of Zhu Fugui should know this very well, and even Li Zicheng, who loves Shaanxi deeply, more or less knows it in his heart.

In recent years, although due to strategic needs, Daming has established a special economic zone here, but if you want to do something to divide and plot chaos based on this place, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Of course, Zhao Xizhu didn't have that mind.

Among the feudal officials of the Ming Dynasty, the political envoys generally did not hold military power.

And each of the Protectorates and Xuanfu Divisions, because there are natives who are not subject to the king's rule, there will be a certain number of standing troops.

For example, in an important town like the Western Regions Protectorate, there are 80,000 troops under the command of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

In order to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty under his rule, most of the guards were basically military attachés, good at commanding battles, and arranging large-scale bandit suppression operations.

Before the Generalissimo's Office arrived, the Grand Protector had the power to use these troops to strike at the bandits in the territory in a storm, so as to avoid delaying the fighters and increasing the casualties of the civilians by asking for instructions back and forth.

However, these 80,000 troops were not supported by the finances of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and officers at all levels were not appointed by the Metropolitan Protectorate.

All the royal army, navy, air force, and Jinyi guards under the whole world are all pro-army of the Son of Heaven.

Its supplies, offerings, military expenses, and beard care are all from above, and they are supported by Zhu Fugui's internal funds.

The appointment and dismissal of personnel at and above the regimental level in the army are also at the discretion of the Generalissimo's Office.

The garrisons of the Protectorate and the Xuanwei Division will be adjusted every five years, and they will never give the feudal officials the opportunity to get their hands on military power.

Of course, the officials of each feudal territory themselves will also be transferred to other places to avoid forming parties for personal gain.

The time of transfer is generally eight years, which is deliberately staggered with the number of five years of the garrison, and it is not an appointment.

According to the regulations, Zhao Xizhu will be transferred soon, and there is a high probability that he will be transferred to the Wajima Metropolitan Protectorate to replace the vacancy left by Xi Yaya.

And Zhu Fugui's trip happened to inspect Zhao Xizhu's second greatest achievement in office after pacifying the chaos.

The northwest artery of the Ming Dynasty.

From Zhangye, there is a railway along the Hexi Corridor all the way to the west.

This is an important trunk line designed in accordance with the first five-year plan of the People's Republic of China in 1950, and it is an important trunk line designed to stabilize the northwest.

After crossing the Yellow River from Lanzhou City to the west, the line crosses the Wusheling Ridge at an altitude of 3,000 meters and enters the Hexi Corridor at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains

Wuwei, Zhangye and Jiuquan exit the Jiayuguan at the west end of the Great Wall, cross the Yumen and Shule rivers at the southern foot of the Horsehair Mountain, and cross the Hongliu River in the west to enter the territory of the Western Regions Duhufu.

In the vast land of the Western Regions, all the way to the west, along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains through Hami, Shanshan, Turpan, in Dabancheng through the Tianshan Mountains, until Yili, a total length of 2003 kilometers.

Zhu Fugui admired the great rivers and mountains along the way, as far as the eye could see, although there was less verdant than the interior, but more vast and magnificent.

On the low hills, shepherds are driving large flocks of sheep.

Their eyes are absolutely innocent, they are absolutely kind, and they are hospitable.

The bad shepherd has been driven away by Zhao Xizhu and Zuo Zongtang.

For good shepherds, the Ming gave them very good policies.

However, the herdsmen's income has increased significantly by providing excellent cattle and sheep breeds, establishing veterinary stations, and building new milk powder factories, meat factories, and sausage factories to ensure the purchase price of meat and dairy products and avoid fluctuations caused by climatic factors.

The northwest wind and snow are nine times, and the ancient and modern situation is heavy on three sides.

The dome has been isolated in the domain, and the pasture is still called Tumochuan.

The small pear orchard is the same as the country, and thousands of families are in Beijing into a good year.

The Holy Dynasty governs China and the rest of the world, and 100,000 Pi Pi is still in control.

This poem, which boasts of the prosperity of Qianlong, is used in this situation, but it also makes people feel appropriate.

It's just that in addition to the blue sky and white clouds, the wilderness and distant mountains, the shepherds who are innocent and kind, and can sing and dance, Zhu Fugui can also see cemeteries.

It is the resting place of more than 400 road construction workers who have died.

Zhu Fugui couldn't help but compare it with the big railway in the west of Beiyin.

The Northwest Railway of the Ming Dynasty is nearly twice as long as the Pacific Central Railway, and its steepness is also above the latter.

The Pacific Railroad, which crosses the Sierra Nevada Mountains at an altitude of 2,100 meters, travels 65 kilometers through high mountains, requiring the construction of 50 bridges and more than 10 tunnels, and the construction conditions are extremely difficult.

Not long after the start of construction, hundreds of Irish workers snuck away, and the Central Pacific Bureau laid only 80 miles in two years.

It was not until the Chinese workers took over that this "miracle" of the United States was finally realized.

According to historical records, when the project was completed, the proportion of Chinese workers reached 95% of all participants, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Pacific Railway was built by the Chinese on their own.

Of course, in this time and space, the Pacific Railway was taken over by the Ming Dynasty halfway, relying on the 200,000 Chinese laborers sent by Li Hongzhang, the Ming Dynasty built the railway faster, better, and with fewer casualties.

The "Lanyi" railway, which the train runs today, is a miracle of Shenzhou built by millions of Ganshan men with their shoulders and hands.

Objectively speaking, it was the construction of the Lanyi Line that gave the displaced Gansu and Shaanxi youths the conditions to get rich quickly.

If the imperial court did not build this railway, most of them would still return to their hometowns to farm.

It's not that Zhu Fugui looks down on the land in Gansu, but seriously, except for Longnan, which may have a little lost value, can this Gansu farming still grow flowers?

Even if you have planted the land for ten lifetimes, you can't catch up with the planes and tractors of the Heishui Metropolitan Protectorate and the New Yangtze River Agricultural Reclamation Group Army......

Through the construction of the Lanyi Line, a large number of poor peasants in northern Gansu and northern Shaanxi were shaped into preliminarily qualified migrant workers.

In the nineteenth century, peasant workers, a term with a derogatory connotation in the eyes of some in later generations, undoubtedly represented the most advanced productive forces second only to industrial workers.

Peasant workers are no longer peasants, they have got rid of the Chinese nation's attachment to the land and their hometown for thousands of years, have a certain degree of organization and discipline, adapt to collective life, and are the best source of soldiers for the army.

Of course, because of the elite strategy of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many Ganshan guys who are lucky enough to be able to enter the Royal Army.

More often than not, they threw themselves into the fiery wave of Chinese revival in another way.

When the railway was completed, some of the migrant workers remained in the road construction team, taking care of the day-to-day maintenance of the railway, or left their homes to build new railways in other provinces.

The other part of the migrant workers entered the Lanzhou Industrial Park and became a glorious worker.

This industrial park was built before the establishment of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, and its main products are steel, weapons, and refined oil.

Almost all the military supplies that were shipped to Western Chu and exported to the Tatar Song and Indian states were produced here.

Some of the equipment of the Shenzhou and Nanyang Command Missions was also purchased from the Lanzhou Arsenal.

Therefore, when Zhu Fugui's special train was speeding on the Xinyi line, he saw several evasive trains transporting weapons.

After a day and a night, Zhu Fugui finally arrived in Yili.

From here, the Lanyi line extends to Almaty, which is more than 100 kilometers away from the territory of Western Chu.

Since then, there has been no railroad to the west.

The Kazakh hills and the western foothills of the Tianshan Mountains made it difficult to build later.

In addition, the local tribes are very strong and pose a serious threat to the railway.

However, in Zhu Fugui's view, in the final analysis, the interests are not enough.

The supplies of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Almaty, which was enough for Western Chu.

The redistribution from Almaty is not fundamentally different from the redistribution from Cannes.

However, Zhu Fugui has reason to believe that after the discovery of the large oil fields in the Caspian Sea, these railways will be quickly built.

To hell with any tribal forces, what Kazakh hills.

Whoever doesn't want to be decent, artillery fire and explosives will make them decent.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the scientific and technological point of oil pipelines was pointed out in advance by Daming.

Once the technology of oil pipelines is available, the importance of railways will be greatly diminished.

From Almaty, Zhu Fugui took the fathead fish airship again.

In fact, the fathead airship has been following the train.

As a hovering aircraft, the endurance of the airship is beyond doubt.

It's just that no matter how safe the helium airship imported from the emperor in the 21st century is, it is definitely not as safe as the train, and Zhu Fugui can not take the airship without taking the airship.

When Zhu Fugui arrived in Broken Leaf City, it was another day later.

At this point in time, Alexander II and Wilhelm II had already arrived for several days.

After Zhu Fugui learned the news on the radio, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

The name of his first honest Xiaolangjun in the nineteenth century was finally not dishonored.

Although Zhu Fugui's trip was in a hurry, it was naturally not two or three kittens.

In fact, a whole regiment of guards units accompanied it.

Therefore, when the thirty-six airships slowly landed in front of the gate of Shattered Leaf City, there was still a sense of grandeur that covered the sky and the sun.

Brother Zuo was dressed in princely clothes, Zhao Xizhu was wearing a Dadu python robe, and with the two of them as the leader, the ministers of the Western Regions Protectorate and the Western Chu Kingdom had been waiting for a long time.

The carefully selected Western Chu army stood tall like a javelin, and the style of the Xiao Ming army made Zhu Fugui nod.

Such a son of the Han family can take root in the land of Central Asia!

Of course, the troops on the Ming side are even more magnificent, and they can't let the Chu army compare with anything.

In addition to the Ming army and the Chu army, there were several foreigners who seemed quite out of place.

Zhu Fugui got off the airship, exchanged pleasantries with Zuo Zongtang and the others, and then hugged his fists at one of the young people and another middle-aged man in a purple robe.

"William, Alexander, two Majestices, I'm too late!"
