Preparations were made on the Yellow River earlier, and many pontoon bridges were erected, one after another with wooden boats, connected by iron chains, and slabs were built on them to allow the army to cross the Yellow River.

Just after the Yellow River has passed, there is still ice on the river, and the water has not risen so much, there is not much pressure to build a pontoon bridge to pass through.

On the Jinan section of the Yellow River, the soldiers saw a spectacular scene. They saw the Yellow River diversion, rushing through a huge river channel dug by people, and a Yellow River bridge was being built on the original Yellow River channel!

There was a flood of people at the bottom of the river, and the early spring had just arrived, and the people had already gathered there to work hard.

At that time, it was not easy to build bridges, and it was even more difficult to build bridges on large rivers. It was more difficult to build bridges on large rivers. The reason was that another river channel was built next to the river to divert the water away, and the original channel was built. After the completion of the construction, the original channel was restored. People walk on the bridge through water.

The artificial river channel of the Yellow River will not be wasted. After the completion of the Yellow River Bridge, the artificial river channel will become a huge water storage lake, where you can see the scenery. The Chinese have long been familiar with the things that the two make a profit.

Looking from a distance, the Yellow River Bridge is unusually tall and magnificent. It is a peculiar double-arched bridge. This bridge has been built seven or eighty-eight and is close to completion. It is said to be the request of the King of Southeast Asia. Thousand-ton ships pass!

scare! Five thousand tons!

Now the largest four-layer gun deck battleship is only 3,000 tons, and the prince actually wants the bridge hole to be more than 5,000 tons in height.

The people of the Ministry of Engineering calculated that if the water surface under each bridge tunnel could pass 5,000 tons, the cost would be too high!

But the prince's will cannot be violated. They thought of a way and designed two beautiful arches, one out and one in, which raised the height of the bridge and made the five thousand-ton ships navigable.

As a result, the first bridge on the Yellow River became a double-arched bridge, lying on the Yellow River.

Ordinary morale looks at the excitement. For example, Li Guo and others know the meaning of this bridge, which is really incredible!

In leisure time, people and goods are used, and soldiers are transferred from north to south during war. The Yellow River has a habit of "no navigation at night". Once the bridge is built, just think about it, and no longer be restricted.

There are surprises everywhere, Li Guo said to the left and right: "When you return home in triumph, this bridge must pass, and you should cross this bridge with you!"

The left and right have applauded, and as far as Li Guo knows, in addition to the Jinan Yellow River Bridge, the imperial court is building a second Yellow River Bridge in Zhengzhou, which is in full swing.

In addition, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge and the Guangzhou Pearl River Bridge are both under planning. In the future, one bridge will connect the north and the south, and the moat will become a thoroughfare!

This is a unique bridge in the world. Even the brothers of Southeastern countries can't do it, because there is no such magnificent river in Southeastern China. As for the world?

Hey, there is only one China in the world, and China is unique. It has the most powerful central dynasty in the world, as well as hard-working and intelligent working people and the ability of infrastructure madness.

The southeast king is ruling the two Chinas, and the infrastructure is full of spirits and shows great power. Unlike the previous emperors, he managed to make the soldiers happy when he heard the war, and made the people rush to do it when they heard that they wanted to go to the project!

Think of Sui Yang who built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and lost the country. Yan Changwu made great efforts to build civil engineering, build bridges, roads, squares, open mines and factories, etc. throughout the country. The amount of work was ten times that of Sui Yang, but the people supported it a hundred times. he.

He is the **** of war, leading the army from one victory to another!

He is the God of Wealth, and there are silver dollars for working with him.

So the Yellow River Bridge was built, the Yangtze River Bridge was about to be built, and the Pearl River Bridge was about to be built!

...

Hard journey!

Except for Li Guo and the three hundred cavalry of his guards who were one man and two horses, the three thousand cavalrymen in the Beijing army were all one man and one horse. As a result, the cavalry became infantry.

Horses also need to carry personal equipment. If people ride on them, the horses will be abandoned after such a long journey.

This is the horseless cup of the Central Plains dynasty. It's like a nomadic people with a number of horses, changing back and forth for a hundred miles in a day.

As a Central Plains cavalry, you can’t wait to walk with your horse on your back. Otherwise, the horse will be tired. If you can’t run when encountering an enemy, it may be fatal. In contrast, being tired is better than lifeless.

In addition to horses, there are donkeys. Each class brings a donkey. It mainly supports the class’s supplies, including class tents, hatchets, buckets, iron pots, rations, and munitions. They follow the master very steadily!

High-ranking officers ride horses, and intermediate-ranking officers have a donkey in their hands, and laugh at themselves as the commander of the donkey!

If someone is promoted to commander of the donkey, congratulations on his promotion.

There are a lot of donkeys in the southeastern country over the sea. They have rich experience in raising donkeys. They report back to the mainland. The donkeys are shipped back to the mainland in ships and ships. They have breeding farms on Luzon, and they can travel to the mainland by passing through Taiwan. The journey is not far, the cost is not high, and the sales volume is quite large.

Raise a large number of donkeys, and make donkeys eat meat to make donkey-hide gelatin. Every donkey boss makes a lot of money.

One donkey per shift is the standard equipment, which reduces the burden on the soldiers, and does not consume much. The donkey is easy to raise and has a solid skin. The only disadvantage is that it is sometimes disobedient and naughty. If you hit it, it is more aggressive. Go backwards and fight against you!

For this reason, the army has specially opened a donkey raising training class, and invited a master to teach soldiers how to train donkeys!

It took a full 25 days to travel from Nanjing to Beijing, which is fast, and it takes more than 45 days for ordinary people.

Arriving at the military camp in Miyun, Beijing, Li Guo called an army of 20,000 people to gather ~lightnovelpub.net~ to commend the activists in this march---the new tradition brought by Yan Changwu. By sea, I didn't take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but marched by land. The distance from Nanjing to Beijing is about 1,150 kilometers. The average speed is ten miles/hour, ten hours a day, 25 days, and I persevered!

This is a tempering of spirit and will. Most people persisted. Not many people left behind. No one who took the initiative to leave the army. At most, it was a patient and was taken in. Those who could keep up kept going, but couldn’t keep up. Those who are on board will stay in the local area for treatment. The advantage of local operations lies in this. The route is good, the supply is sufficient, and the army marches smoothly.

Gan Hui was only five days earlier than him, and Gein was sailing against the wind and couldn't get any faster.

Therefore, the generals of the meeting made it clear what to prepare for the liver and how to get the liver!

The meeting was not in Beijing but in Miyun. During that time, there was no Miyun Reservoir. Miyun was a transitional zone between the North China Plain and the Mongolian Plateau. It was the main traffic route between the Northeast and Mongolia in the Central Plains. It was the starting point for attacking Mongolia. It has a lot of history. significance.

The generals who should come are all here. They have:

Gan Hui, Li Guo and Zu Dashou;

Generals such as He Zhen, Niu Wancai, Bai Wenxuan, Liu Rukui, Ma Chongxi, Zhang Neng, Tian Hu, Yang Yanchang, Zeng Ying, Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Wang Xiang, Yang Zhan, Cao Xun, etc.;

The ancestors of the ancestral army, Zerun, Zu Zepu, Zu Zehong, Zu Zeqing, Zu Zeyuan, etc.

In addition, there are civilian officials from all over the country, who are also an important part of the plan.

In the beginning of spring, the horses of the Mongols are recovering after a winter of consumption. They will not come to attack. It is a good season for meetings.

It was really crowded, everyone was very excited, especially when the big map was opened, the new city was marked on the map, and some generals couldn't help but mumble.

"Isn't this the Suffering City!"
