208, White Dragon

Woo –

Woo————

A low horn trombone sounded.

The two armies are in front.

It took almost two months for the Liaodong Army to reach the Hulunbuir grassland.

The first time I came here.

The Wuhuan militia and the 2,000 Tiger Ben army gave them a big surprise.

Surprise.

One side is running for a long time, and people are sleepy and tired.

One side recuperates and waits for a long time.

The result of the surprise attack naturally did not take much.

The Liaodong army was dispersed, with a loss of 4,020 soldiers.

If Wang Li hadn't been explaining to the Liaodong Army what the exercise was for the past two months, this round of attacks would have made the losses of the Liaodong Army even more serious.

This is also the reason why Zhang Qi asked Wang Li to lead the Liaodong Army on foot.

People can be controlled, horses can't, if the horses are frightened, this time they will really have to be reduced.

After the surprise attack, the Wuhuan militia and the Tiger Ben army marched away.

This is the usual tactics of the Huns, after a blow, they immediately flee, wait for the opportunity, and do it again.

Wang Li's face was gloomy and terrifying.

The Liaodong Army was not a recruit.

Before he took charge, these sergeants had more or less two or three years of military experience, and after he took charge, he spent another year training and discipline, but he didn't expect a surprise attack to let these people disperse completely.

When they were counted afterwards, there were only more than 1,000 people with white marks on their bodies, which means that 3,002 soldiers out of 4,0200 soldiers were jointly escaped.

It's a rout, not a wounded soldier!

On that day, in the garrison camp, the military sticks were beaten for a whole day.

Whether it is the generals or those who are coerced by the rout.

Subsequently, more than 3,000 people and the soldiers who had white marks on their bodies and were regarded as sacrifices were sent to the wounded barracks, and according to the regulations of this exercise, they could not appear in the future.

It was repaired in situ for three days.

Morning.

Wang Li ordered all the soldiers and horses.

"A certain is emphasizing, those who retreat before the battle will be dealt with according to law!"

"All army ready! Sortie! ”

The Liaodong Army was an elite infantry army prepared by Zhang Qi.

They played little role in the Xiongnu, and their main purpose was to fight against the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Wang Li and Liu Ze discussed, and the two sides set up a battle and fought with legions.

Passing the book through the flying pigeon.

Although Zhang Qi didn't come here, he knew exactly what happened here.

Governor's Mansion.

"It's a fight."

Zhang Qi looked at the small words in his hand and smiled, and then handed it to Bai Xing.

"Guess who wins?"

Without half a moment's hesitation, Bai Xing said directly: "The Tiger Ben army can win, they all came out of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, plus the cooperation of the Wuhuan militia, it is not a problem to take General Wang's 20,000 army." ”

Zhang Qi nodded noncommittally, but also said: "Don't underestimate the Liaodong Army, they used to be border soldiers, and the army of the Han Dynasty was not bad, and the reason why they were repeatedly frustrated at the hands of the Huns was because the Huns never met them head-on." ”

"Don't forget, when it comes to fighting, these people who came out of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the pre-Qin period are experts."

"What the king said is, who does the king think can win?"

Bai Xing tilted her head and asked, she was still writing the letter that Zhang Qi asked her to write.

"Hahaha, naturally it's the Tiger Army! My Zhang Qi's elite is comparable to the Huns?! ”

The corners of Shirahoshi's mouth twitched.

Doesn't that mean you didn't say it?

"By the way, how are the preparations for the mutual market over there in Wuhuan?"

"It's almost over, for the purchase of cattle and sheep, the acting city lord has already planned it, it depends on the situation on General Hu's side."

"Judging from the letter sent back by General Hu, there are more than 20 small tribes on the grassland that have become attached to him, and Ding Ling in the north has also reached a trade agreement, and they can bring back something from the Western Regions to exchange grain and grass with us."

Zhang Qi nodded: "That's good, it seems that Hu Shui's move is good, and the grassland is no longer a threat." ”

"What happened to Shanhaiguan?"

Zhang Qi asked again.

"Two hundred and thirty0,000 workers worked day and night, and three-quarters of the construction was now complete, leaving only the 26-mile section of the city wall on the coastal side unfinished."

Zhang Qi nodded, the Shanhaiguan he built was even bigger than the Mingshan Customs, with a total length of more than sixty kilometers, bordering Yanran Mountain in the north and the Yellow Sea in the south.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Great Wall was being built.

It's been almost two years now, and this important road that determines Zhang Qi's future development is almost complete, which depends on the labor force of 23 finishes and the new building material, concrete.

In order to speed up the construction of Shanhaiguan, 17 cement workshops have been built in Liaodong, and many jobs have been brought to the people of Liaodong.

Of course, the school of the compulsory system has also taken root in Liaodi.

Zhang Qi knows that the progress of mankind is the progress of industry, and the progress of industry depends on the level of education.

Therefore, infrastructure and education are the top priorities here in Zhang Qi.

The school includes room and board, which is to let the people of Liaodong voluntarily send half of the children in their families to study.

You must know that in ancient times, the children of the family were all laborers, and generally no one was willing to send out the laborers of the family except for the separation of the family.

Now, with the guarantee of room and board, the family can save one or several rations, which is very attractive for families with half of the children in the family who cannot work.

The school has only been open for half a year, and the number of students enrolled has exceeded 10,000, and many places are too far away to send children.

Out of the school, Zhang Qi has also developed Liaodong civil engineering in the past two years.

Reservoirs, roads, all over the land of Liaodong.

In this era, the Liaodi, including the northeast, was mostly Daze.

The main purpose of the new reservoir is to store water in the fields to avoid drought, and to divert the water from Daze to expand the habitable land or acres.

The construction of the reservoir has proved to be very effective, and thanks to artificial water diversion, many small swamps are now exposed to black land.

It's a little slower, but it's also a good way to improve the land.

And the road naturally goes without saying.

Widening and branching off on the original straight roads of the Han Dynasty to connect the villages, or relocating the villages directly to the periphery of the reservoir, were all linked one after another.

The speed of the circulation of materials is equivalent to the acceleration of exchanges between villages, and the economy will naturally speed up.

Because of the birth of the white dragon, now in the grassland and border counties, silver began to be used as a currency, Zhang Qixing's white dragon has been almost a year, this year, the white dragon has become the main currency of the border county grassland trade.

However, Zhang Qi also knows that in this era, anti-counterfeiting is a joke, so for the positioning of the white dragon, he has always only let it float between eighty coins to hundreds of coins.

And the current white dragon has been changed three times, from the beginning of the copper inlaid silver to the current sterling silver.

The weight has also been reduced from 30 to 15 grams.

And with the circulation of the white dragon, the decision on the value of silver has now fallen into the hands of Zhang Qi.

Because Zhang Qi found that in the border county, he had the largest silver reserves.

All of this is naturally due to the world of riding and chopping, and the one that is far away.

Haven't mined the silver mountain yet!
