Chapter 205: The Post Road System

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Any empire with a vast territory must build a network of roads within its borders to transmit information and transport goods quickly and effectively in order to achieve long-term rule......

The Persian Empire, the first in human history to span Europe, Asia and Africa, accurately conveyed the will of the monarch to the provinces through many highways, so that the monarch of this country proudly called himself "the king of the four corners of the universe".

Five hundred years later, the ancient Roman Empire, which turned the Mediterranean Sea into an inland sea, built a road building with Rome as the center and leading to all directions, thus giving birth to the classic proverb "all roads lead to Rome". These roads are not only the blood of money and food, but also the fast passage for the Imperial Corps to attack and change its garrison.

The corps of the Roman Empire were dominated by infantry, and hardened roads were particularly important for the march and baggage of the infantry. In contrast, cavalry marches are much better at adapting to the terrain than infantry.

Knowing the importance of the post road system, the Qing Dynasty stopped building roads after retreating to the outside of the pass, in order to maintain the Manchurian cavalry's mobile advantage over the Ming infantry.

However, a country that is unwilling to build roads will find it difficult to achieve a high degree of centralization. The entire "Manchukuo" in the northeast is not so much a centralized agricultural country as a tribal alliance of flag soldiers from all over the country, and it gradually shows the style of a semi-nomadic country before entering the customs.

In the land of the three provinces outside the Guan, Manchu is the capital of Shengjing, and naturally the Liao soil is the heaviest. The three flags are all guarded in Fengtian, and the two flags of Zhenghuang and inlaid yellow are stationed in western Liaoning, guarding Shengjing. The white flag is stationed in western Liaoning, with Jinzhou as the center, guarding the western Liaoning corridor.

At the end of March of this year, in the mountainous and hilly areas of western Liaoning, logging and hunting businesses were already open everywhere.

In Wuliugou, three green horses rushed in, all of them carrying bright knives and bows and arrows. Dozens of people in the mountains and forests who were sawing and wielding axes stopped what they were doing and looked back at them.

Among the three riders, a long-faced man led by him shouted loudly, "The big master of Heifeng Village is going to marry the sixth aunt next month, and you will build a set of fine furniture in this wood field and send it over." โ€

An old man in his fifties smiled bitterly, "He Jiuye, the eldest master has a little more aunt to marry?"

He Jiuye's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Old tree roots, what are you dissatisfied with?" Seeing that the other party was silent, he added another sentence, "Also, go get two more bear biles to offer." โ€

The crowd of loggers blew up the pot.

"We cut wood, where do we know how to catch bears blind?"

"Even if you can hunt bears, you have to go to the mountains to find it slowly, how much work does it take!"

He Jiuye looked at them coldly, "If you don't want to do it, leave early, there are many people who want to come here to cut wood." โ€

The old tree root said with a sad face, "Ninth Master, it's okay to catch some roe deer and roe deer, you told us to hunt bears, can we still use axes and saws to fight bears?"

He Jiuye looked at the sky with his eyes, "Why can't you catch bears with an axe and saw?"

But I heard a voice behind me say, "Axes and saws are still specialized in cutting wood, and fighting bears has become a bad job." โ€

He Jiuye was surprised, and when he looked back, he saw a young man standing on a big rock, looking very clean, looking harmless to humans and animals. However, not commensurate with his appearance, he had three long jet-black fire guns hanging from his body, which were extremely dazzling.

By the way, we didn't see anyone at all when we came all the way, when did this kid appear behind us?

He Jiuye is a nimble figure, and he can't help but beat the drums a little, and shouts, "Friend, which way are you?"

The young man said, "I heard that the owner of Hao Dazhai has saved a lot of furniture, and I want to visit him, but there is no one to guide him." โ€

He Jiuye immediately nodded and smiled, "This is easy, we have already finished our work, we have to go back out of the ditch, I will lead the way." โ€

The boy nodded, jumped off the rock, and walked out of the ravine.

A sinister smile appeared on He Jiuye's face, he made a gesture, and took the arrow at the same time with two of his subordinates, and Zhang Xian waited for shรจ to go.

Two thumping gunshots pierced the silence of the air first. In the corner of He Jiuye's eyes, he was shocked to see that the two people on the left and right had already turned over from their horses and fell, and their arrows had not yet had time to come out.

The boy turned around and held up the gun in succession, pulled the trigger, and acted like a cloud of water, and as soon as the gun rang out, one person fell. When the lumberjacks saw him in such a calm and calm rhythm, they thought that they would hear three consecutive rings, and all three of them would fall off their horses. Unexpectedly, the third time I saw that the trigger was pulled, but no gunshots rang out.

He Jiuye was overjoyed when he saw this, he was already on the bow, and this sharp arrow came out, and his heart suddenly relaxed: Uncle, I am lucky, how can you this little ghost deal with it with a firecracker.

The young man sighed slightly, "It's dumb again." โ€

But the long gun he was holding in his hand didn't let go, still pointing at He Jiu. In He Jiuye's expectant gaze, the powerful arrow that shรจ went out rushed into the barrel one by one, as if a sharp long sword took the initiative to enter the scabbard, and there was no longer the slightest power.

He Jiu reacted very quickly, immediately drew his saber, and rushed over. He had already lost two of his men, and he was going to cut off the young man's head with a single sword, so that he could show off the crowd of Kiba.

The difference between cavalry and infantry lies in the fact that there is one more horse, that is, one more horsepower. The force of the horse's gallop was enough to cut a standing man in two.

But He Jiu rushed over and slashed down, and the young man just took a step back like a civet cat, lightly let go of the momentum of the galloping horse, and the barrel of the gun in his hand was raised, meeting the knife edge. He Jiu felt as if his arm had been caught on a tree, and the saber in his hand was rebounded by a huge force, and his whole body was shocked and fell off the horse.

This young man with three long guns on his body is actually a big master who works hard.

He Jiu fell to the ground and was full of meat and vegetables, but he didn't see the young man come up, and finally came back to his senses, but saw that he was taking out the gunpowder projectile, and it turned out that he was loading the bullet again.

With a bang, there was an extra blood hole on He Jiu's forehead, which was exactly the same as the death method of his two subordinates.

The craftsmen of the wood yard looked at each other, and said in their hearts, what if Hao Da took revenge on the person who killed the Black Wind Village?

"Old Tree Roots" had some insight, remembering that when this young man first appeared, he said that he had taken a fancy to the belongings of the owner of Hao Zhai, and walked up with some trembling at the moment, and said to the young man with the barrel of the gun still smoking in his hand, "May I ask Your Excellency, is it a good man who came to grab the scene outside the gate?"

The boy laughed, "Exactly." โ€

Sure enough, it's black eating black. "Old Tree Root" breathed a sigh of relief, and then wanted to find out his strength, "Hero, how many people are behind you? That Black Wind Village has more than three hundred minions." โ€

The young man did not answer his words, looked around, and praised, "I have seen many wood yards along the way, all of which are single logging, and only you are still doing carpentry here, which is very good, and there are multiple business ideas." โ€

"Old Tree Roots" said cautiously, "Old Man used to be a carpenter, and he took these apprentices to do carpentry work while cutting down mountain trees. โ€

The young man said, "In addition to making furniture, you can also build wooden houses?"

Everyone listened and laughed together, "It's so easy." โ€

The young man said, "Then you cut down the wood, and build a few more rows of houses here, and we will live here." โ€

When the "old tree roots" heard it, do you want to set up the main village here?" "Hero, how many places do you want to build?"

The young man thought for a moment, "Let's build enough houses for a thousand people first." โ€

Everyone was surprised, "So many people!" What kind of gang is this, so many people are coming, is it a gang migration?

It's a good thing to have a thousand people, it must be able to overpower Black Wind Village, and it seems that there are still a lot of firecrackers in this gang, and this one who fights first alone brings three.

The young man said, "Every year, there are so many disaster victims who want to break into Kanto, and it is easy to gather them together to make five hundred and eight hundred. โ€

The lumberjacks were dumbfounded, and the "old roots" sighed, "We are really lagging behind, it turns out that now we are breaking into the Kanto, first forming gangs, and then coming together in an organized scale." โ€

However, he immediately thought that the gang that this young man belonged to already had such a big momentum, and it was formed from the disaster victims, so it seemed that the conditions for joining would not be very high, "Good man, I don't know if we can join the gang, gain a foothold outside the customs together, and eat together?"

The boy laughed, "That's fine. โ€

"Old Tree Root" was overjoyed, "Dare to ask Senior Brother, what will be the name of our gang?"

The first to start is the biggest, seeing that this young man's marksmanship is accurate and his martial arts are good, he will naturally have a lot of identity in the gang, and it will not be wrong to shout a senior brother.

The boy said, "We are called the Peasant Union. โ€

As soon as you heard about it, you had never heard of the peasant union, and sure enough, it was freshly baked and had just been built.
