"Those thirteen war horses are considered wasted, it's okay to pull goods, or when they are mules for breeding, when war horses can't run!"

Mu Ying stood with Zhu Di and shook her head with a sigh.

Although he didn't like Feng Tao very much, he still maintained an extremely respectful attitude towards Feng Tao.

"I didn't believe in traveling thousands of miles a day before, but now, I believe it!"

Zhu Di also shook his head with Mu Ying, this is a kind of sigh, the silent kind.

Of the fourteen guards led by Feng Tao, two horses were killed and twelve horses were lost.

Yesterday, Mu Ying's emergency military report was sent to Xi'an Mansion for 800 miles, and it was not until eight or nine o'clock in the evening when he arrived in Xi'an, but at four or five o'clock today, Feng Tao came with an appointment.

That's a lot of speed.

On the one hand, there is a huge difference between the war horses of this era and the war horses in later generations.

War horses are trained at a certain intensity every day.

He also heard that Feng Sheng's war horse is called Long Xiang, which is a sweaty and bloody horse, which eats human flesh and drinks human blood on the battlefield.

He hadn't seen Feng Sheng either, let alone Long Xiang, so he didn't know.

On the other hand, it is the people of this era, or the main theme of this era, who endure hardships and stand hard work and fight for a goal.

It reminded him of the time when he went to research.

He was a man of the new age, who had never eaten grass seeds, nor had he gathered ears of wheat in the ground.

However, I heard from some old people in the village that the old people in the fifties and sixties, in order to exchange for good grains, carried grain on their backs in winter, and walked more than 170 kilometers from Baiyin to Zhongwei for more than ten days.

The snow covered the sky, and once when I came back, the whole person was frozen stiff and bloated, and the family used the snow outside to rub the frozen person's body, and then it was lifted to the warm kang to heat it when it was warm, and the heat came over, and then it survived.

People are not wasted, and they have worked for decades.

Later, the train was opened, and in the winter, the train began to be picked up and rounded.

When he listened, he only felt emotion and a slight exaggeration, or he did not think that a person's perseverance could reach the kind of deeds that seemed to be creating a myth.

And there are many, many such deeds to listen to in one village after another.

At this time, Zhu Di stared at the dozen or so war horses in the courtyard with a blank look, and seemed to understand what kind of spirit it was, and also somewhat understood what kind of perseverance and self-confidence people had in the poor era.

It was a belief in the ability to create a better life with one's hands, and it inadvertently created miracles, but for the poor, it was just for a bite to eat, so as not to starve to death.

It is a kind of belief that he can destroy the Northern Yuan through his own modest strength, can block the Northern Yuan from going south, and inadvertently creates a miracle, for people like Feng Tao who have been killed from the suffering of the war, it is just for a victory, a belief, and I hope that the world will no longer suffer from the war.

Often many things are extremely simple, so simple that they are sad.

And at the beginning of the establishment of an empire, it was extremely pure.

And it seems that Lao Zhu's rise is very similar to that of later generations, all of them are smashed from the mud legs that have nothing and are unprecedentedly smashed.

Therefore, the people who follow Lao Zhu have an indescribable feeling in it.

And it seems that Lao Zhu, who advocates the thirteenth Northern Expedition, has the courage to 'fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come', and Xu Da is more like the partner who is active in Saibei.

The tired war horse stirred Zhu Di's thoughts.

Liu Yufeng, the director of the smelting department, Liu Jiang, the county lieutenant of Lanxian County, Ma Chen, the county Cheng, Cui Shicheng, the chief Bo Cui Shicheng, the deputy of Lanzhou Wei, and Cheng Lishi, the government soldier Qianhu, and Liu Gang and other seventeen people rushed over after receiving the order.

It was getting dark.

The town is far from the avant-garde and brightly lit.

In the meeting hall, Zhu Di pushed out the appointment document and asked the top officials of various institutions in Lan County to check it.

After reading them one by one, Zhu Di said softly: "You can see that from now on, Lanxian County has entered a state of military readiness, and you need to cooperate with all of you. ”

Below, everyone stood up and said, "We will obey Your Highness's orders!" ”

But these people's faces are all bitter and hateful.

Everyone knew that the frozen ground would not be able to be built, but it was decreed that even a stone mountain should be carved into the ground.

"Sit down and talk!" Zhu Di said: "There are four or four warehouses in the main construction places, Wangfu Military Town, Liangzhou Weizhi Town, post station, and Lanxian County defense. ”

"Liangzhou Wei Town is not in a hurry, this king will send someone to choose the site first."

"The main place that needs a lot of manpower is the military town, and the four warehouses are relatively easy to renovate on the original basis, so you can say what you have and discuss it."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

For the same project, it is ten times more difficult to start in winter than in summer, and the casualty rate is even more than ten times higher.

"Since you don't speak, then your majesty will first talk about the construction this winter!" Cui Shicheng got up coldly, his face was stiff, and he still didn't let go of Nanshan's affairs.

"The most important thing is the frozen soil, our Lanxian frozen soil is almost a foot, frozen into ice lumps, it is difficult to dig with a shovel, you need to use a chisel, hammer, pickaxe to dig back and forth, this is very difficult, about three feet underground, you can use a shovel to dig."

"Regarding the construction of the four, Wangfu Military Town is the most difficult one, Gaoling is a mountain range of half soil and half stone, the opposite is that this kind of soil surface is relatively loose, there is no frozen soil, but when it comes to five inches, there is a certain humidity, and when it freezes in winter, it is as hard as iron and cannot go down."

"If it is not necessary, do not start construction in winter, but if you really want to start construction, then thaw it first and plan the amount of ground and place for a day."

"The night before the start of construction, weeds were spread on top of the frozen soil, firewood was lit, sawdust was sprinkled, and a layer of soil was pressed on top of the sawdust, and the next morning it was thawed a foot thick enough to start construction."

"In addition, it is possible to start work with a thick cotton cloth or hot water to clean up the soil layer before the second freezing, but if you have to start work at this time, you can only do so."

Cui Shicheng hadn't finished speaking, glanced at everyone, including Zhu Di, and continued:

"When the construction starts in winter, ten people dig a pit, four shovels, two shovels, two heavy hammers, two iron chisels, and each person has a pair of gloves or a stove next to him."

"In addition, special people are needed to carry water, boil and transport boiling water, transport timber and mud, and burn adobe bricks."

"There are 27 townships in Lan County, with a total of 45,000 households, one household is conscripted for two people to serve in the conscription, and the rest need to be paid for work, and those who go to the construction site will not cause any big trouble if they take care of two meals a day."
