After lunch, Zhao Ming took people to inspect the lake area near Durhan.

This will be a key node for river transportation.

Although the water surface will freeze in winter in Chabei, it is actually easy to transport if frozen.

Drop the cargo directly on it, tie the horse rope on both sides of the shore, and with the help of the horse's drag, you can directly glide all the way over.

It's like a train, you can hang many knots of cargo at a time and slide together.

After all, this river stretches for nearly 100 miles, which saves a lot of transportation costs.

"Huh! Was there a building on this side before? ”

Looking at the group of people who were busy at the mouth of the lake, Zhao Ming realized that they seemed to be working on an original ruin.

"Zhao Ye, you said this, yes, there was a building before, which was laid by the previous dynasty.

It seems that in order to facilitate communication with Outer Mongolia, the former dynasty set up a telephone line station here.

Later, the former dynasty was gone, and there was no one to maintain it here, so it was abandoned.

It used to be called Erlian. Quite a strange name. ”

The old grandson is quite familiar with this piece, but he still recalls it and says.

Hearing the name Erlian, Zhao Ming didn't care too much at first, but after recalling it carefully, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Two-in-a-row?

So this is the Erenhot of the later generations?

If memory serves, Erenhot was originally built based on the telephone line station of the former dynasty.

Later, with the laying of a multi-national railway line in five or six years, the railway ran through the area, and a development began to take shape near the railway station here.

Later, in modern times, it was gradually approved as a city and entered a relatively rapid stage of development.

Considering the abundant water sources here and the advantages of the nearby geographical location, Zhao Ming suddenly understood why this place would develop.

And many places can also be matched, less than ten kilometers away from Outer Mongolia, but the city center of later generations should be dozens of miles further south.

In my impression, there are no peaks near the urban area of Erenhot in later generations.

Either way, it's a great area to grow.

Zhao Ming was already thinking about moving his base camp from Huo Zhongtun to here in the future.

It is convenient to get water, and there are no development shackles like Huo Zhongtun.

Huo Zhongtun is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and if you want to expand outward, you don't have this convenience.

In the next two days, a heavy snow covered Chabei as scheduled, and the entire Huozhongtun seemed to fall into hibernation, and few people could hardly be seen outside during the day.

However, at this time, a piece of news was learned by Zhang Li.

At this time, in the office of this chief official of the Metropolitan Mansion, a stove had been raised, but the room was terrifyingly quiet.

"That's what you said, Zhao Ming and Waimeng colluded? Now tell me how this colludes? How did the Outer Mongolian army be wiped out with collusion? ”

Zhang Li slapped on the desk, his voice was very loud, and Adjutant Ren and Zhou Yude below were all trembling.

However, compared to Zhou Yude's nervousness, Adjutant Ren, who lowered his head, showed a subtle smile on his face.

"Sir, I don't think this matter has much to do with Adjutant Zhou, you have also seen it, this is a battle report from the Feng department.

It was the regimental commander Ren who was stationed north of the Rehe River who inflicted heavy losses on the Outer Mongolian army.

It is understandable that Adjutant Zhou did not know about it before. ”

"Humph! Don't help him with good things, he does have an unshirkable duty in intelligence. ”

Zhang Li snorted coldly.

In the past few days, he has also been very depressed, and the delegation has questioned twice, the first time asking if there is anything abnormal.

The second time was to ask you directly what happened to Chabei? You can't ask, you can't ask!

At that time, Zhang Li was still wondering, what should I do and you still have to worry about it?

It wasn't until today that it dawned on him, and what made him even more humiliating was that it didn't come from inside intelligence.

It's from the newspaper!

The newspaper on the table clearly stated that a certain regiment commander of the Feng family overcame difficulties to defeat the enemy of Outer Mongolia who was trying to attack.

broke through tens of thousands of troops, and even wiped out a number of high-level Outer Mongolian officials, not only with text but also with a photo of a prisoner who was detained and kneeling on the ground.

It can be said that there is a picture and a truth.

He also understood that this matter had nothing to do with Zhou Yude.

The other party has been listening to intelligence under Zhao Ming, and he can't go to Rehe to find out whether the other party will fight with the Outer Mongolians.

But now his face is lost in front of the big handsome.

The handsome man bluntly said that he didn't eat the meat in his mouth, and he was eaten by outsiders.

If it is said that the Outer Mongolians will retreat, and they will leave after grabbing a wave, then it is nothing.

But the people who were enshrined in the autumn wind beat it, and it was not an ordinary autumn wind, and it was directly served in a pot.

How does this not annoy the big handsome, and what will everyone say now?

Laugh at him for the incompetence of Yan Laoxi's subordinates, or laugh at him for Yan Laoxi's ignorance and incompetence?

The competition between the marshals sometimes doesn't matter if they win or lose in one city or one place.

But the loss of face is enormous.

The simple expression is that I don't want my brother to live well, and I don't want to see my brother drive a Land Rover.

How angry Dashuai is, as one of his henchmen, Zhang Li, is still a party, how unlucky he is.

He was trained this morning, and it was no different from training his grandson.

Originally, although there was a greater or lesser disparity in strength between the marshals, no one was convinced by anyone.

But in this matter, the judgment was made, and it was simply a fierce blow to Yan Laoxi's face.

However, there is also a message from Zhang Shaoshuai in the newspaper, and this matter is just an unintentional move by the people below. But I don't want to unintentionally insert willows and willows.

It's not like someone, who doesn't do anything and doesn't say anything, and has no real name.

Who is this person referring to, needless to say, it's no wonder that the big handsome's lung tubes are about to explode.

Isn't this saying that any person under my Young Marshal Zhang can fight better than one of your generals?

"Sir, this matter is a crime of despicability, but it depends on the disposal!"

Zhou Yude's face was full of bitterness, and he also understood that at this time, he had better become a tool to vent his anger, otherwise what was waiting for him would only be worse.

"Humph! You are guilty! There is indeed something you need to do, and if you can't do it this time, then you won't come back! ”

Zhang Li's tone was unprecedentedly cold.

But in addition to Zhou Yude, who is an idiot, he is even more angry with Zhao Ming.

"And that Zhao Ming, Lao Tzu spent so much money and fattened him so many people, that's how he treated me?

This time, you will give me another trip to Chabei, and you will clearly tell him that his next-door neighbor has already made a great contribution.

I need an explanation, or let him do it himself! ”

Zhang Li paused as he spoke, and then focused on instructing, "By the way, what I said, don't make your own claims, what I say, then repeat what I said!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yude was like falling into an ice cellar, and his whole body was chilled.

Isn't that for him to die?
