Wang Hongyu and his entourage rested for a day, and the next day they recruited 50 people from several villages, most of whom were familiar with the terrain, hard-working, and possessed skills.

There are those who are superb in archery, those who are skilled in fighting beasts, those who climb mountains and trees to outperform apes, and those who can dive into streams and fish and catch shrimp in the reef.

It's all talent.

Daming has no shortage of talents, and lacks grassroots forces that can keep up with development under the changes in the economic situation.

The Hunhe Army and the Construction Army can solve these problems through the organizational ability of the New Army.

Gathering these new joiners, it feels like they are all going to produce, and there is a little bit of condescension. Joining the Hunhe Army, of course, is not qualified.

Send it to the guard post or the battalion soldiers, and it will be ruined by the soldiers.

It is better to build a military tun, and there can also be a soldier and horse who is not out of production, but can take care of the battle~

Good idea!

At this time, it can be brewed, and this big war will be executed.

"You are familiar with the surrounding roads, do you know if there is a road to Sichuan?"

"Yes!" Several Orion-looking people replied loudly.

"How many people can pass on the road? Are there any villages along the way? Where will it lead? Have you walked through it yourself? ”

This time, there were no more people answering, because it was all about the details, and you had to walk through it yourself.

"I know, and I've walked through it a few times." A young man thought about it, but still replied aloud.

"Say."

"Walking along the river, you have to take a very narrow road, you can go to a village, called Zhenping Village, which used to be under the management of Kuizhou, Sichuan, but now it is the people themselves who develop it."

Wang Hongyu and Yunyang Tong sentenced Lei Ming to look at each other, and both of them felt a little surprised in their eyes, but they were very reasonable.

Shennongjia, Qinling and Bashan are next to each other.

Although the road is difficult to find, there will definitely be no road in the middle of the three mountains.

What this young man said just now is in line with this situation from the point of view of location!

Quickly find the map and compare, according to his statement, the river will turn upstream from east to west through the territory of Zhuxi County, and become a north-south flow from south to north.

Yunyang Tong sentenced Lei Ming to recall carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"Zhenping Village! During the Zhengde period, there was indeed a Zhenping Inspection Division in the northernmost part of Kuizhou, but later because there were not many people in Kuizhou, this Inspection Division was withdrawn! ”

The Inspection Division is equivalent to the police station and the Public Security Bureau, and the fact that this position can be set up before shows that Zhenping Village is indeed a relatively important place.

The young hunter also slapped his head: "Yes, yes! During the Zhengde period, there was also a patrol inspection department, and then it was withdrawn when there were few people. Now the old house of the inspection department is an inn dedicated to business travel and rest, and Zhenping is the eastern part of Hanzhong in Shaanxi, the western part of Yunyang in Huguang, and the intermediate station on the business road to Kuizhou, Sichuan. ”

"Good! You come to lead the way, Mr. Xiake records the situation of the upper reaches of the river, and we will go to Zhenping. ”

Wang Hongyu left 30 Tuntian troops in the village and along the way, and asked them to make a preliminary survey of the terrain, prepare to develop the roads and post-like facilities here, and prepare to support the subsequent passage of soldiers and horses.

Wang Hongyu and his entourage, led by young hunters, marched with difficulty along the sheep intestine path trampled by merchants, hunters, and animals on the north side of the riverbank.

The road is very difficult to walk, most of them can only be walked by two people, and in narrow places, there are even cliff plank roads that can only be walked by one person. According to the young hunter, he followed his grandfather on this road when he was a child, and later walked it himself.

"At that time, there was a post station in Zhenping Village, and there was a Niutou Village nearby, and the two villages were not far apart, and each village had a maximum of 70 households. This is the junction of the three provinces, to the west, to the north is not far from the boundary of Shaanxi.

】

There are still small boats that have been there for decades, but then there are big water reefs that block the river and no one cleans it up, and there are a few places where small boats do not go there unless they carry the boat around. ”

Wang Hongyu asked: "Didn't anyone organize the cleanup?" ”

"The mountains are sparsely populated, and they are the border of three provinces. Originally, when there was a post station, there were officials who requisitioned villagers from the surrounding areas to clean up, but later most of the families moved away, and the post station was later canceled, and no one cared about it anymore. ”

Wang Hongyu took hundreds of people to clean up while walking, and initially reluctantly walked the raft downstream.

It took two and a half days to take his team through a place called Niutou Village, and then to Zhenping Village, a village in Sichuan Province close to Zhuxi County.

There are only 50 households left in Niutou Village in the north of Zhenping Village, and in the early Ming Dynasty, it originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Pingli County, Hanzhong Prefecture, Shaanxi, and now no one has jurisdiction over it. Wang Hongyu happened to see the seams and set up a plant cultivation base, a carrier pigeon station, and an investigation station here.

There are only 70 households left in the village of Pingcun in the south, and Zhengde used to belong to Daning County, Kuizhou, Sichuan, but now there is no one to govern it.

Wang Hongyu is preparing to establish a processing workshop for mountain goods and medicinal materials, as well as a cargo transfer station and a tourist center. These two villages were occupied for a long time and turned into the exclusive base of the Hunhe Army and became an independent kingdom at the junction of the three provinces.

After settling down, I communicated here again.

The hunter who was more familiar with this place said to Wang Hongyu that there was a mysterious place in the depths of Daba Mountain, more than 30 miles west of Zhenping Village, and that place was different from the surroundings, and Mr. Deng Yuhan and Mr. Xu Xiake must like it.

What's even more amazing is that from this place to the mountain, there is a river flowing out of a lake at the bottom of the mountain. That year, he and his grandfather rowed a raft in a lake in search of a strange big fish, and found a lava hole from a river fork.

The boat rowed into the lava cave, walked for an hour, and finally entered the mysterious place: the mountain is very high and steep, the valley is very wide, and there are large rivers and forests in the valley; Except for this dark river, there is no way to enter or exit that place, and it is full of cliffs and cliffs with a height of seven or eight hundred battles.

Every 200 or so battles there is a staircase, which is very large, and it is covered with towering trees, and the cries of animals come and go; There are many species of fish and otters in the river, and the animals in the woods on the shore are not afraid of people.

He drew a picture: an irregular circular mountain on the outside is covered with an irregular circular valley, and there is a mountain in the middle; The exit is a hidden underground cave, which is thirty miles long.

Wang Hongyu took Deng Yuhan, Xu Xiake, Jin Nige, Li Tiezhu and others, as well as several guards. The hunter man, acting as a guide, marched northwest of Zhenping Village, eight or ninety miles in a straight line, because there was no way to walk for two and a half days to reach the lake.

There is no boat but to build a raft, light the torch and row the raft into the lava cave, the more you go the cave is wider and bigger, about 2 miles away and find that there is a bright light in front of you, and walk 2 miles suddenly bright, as if you have entered another world, a big valley that cannot be seen at a glance, the width of the valley is about 5 to 8 miles.

Xu Xiake opened his mouth and recited: "In the Jin Taiyuan Dynasty, the people of Wuling fished for their business. Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, the fallen flowers are colorful, and the fishermen are very different. Going back ......"
