Out of the school, the fathers and villagers sent off to each other!

All Sichuan soldiers are used, and there are no foreign aid troops. Their dispatch is not a military secret. You can't do it soon, because you have to build roads to Lhasa!

When Yang Zhan rode out to the door, he saw that there were a lot of people on the side of the road. Next to the school grounds were guarded by the officials of the Chengdu government. Most of them were military commanders’ family members who were able to come here. On the streets of, there were family members of the soldiers, dragging the old and the young, calling the names of the officers and soldiers in the army from time to time, and the officers and soldiers waved slightly and walked solemnly.

Seeing the brigade cavalry guarding the senior generals, the people stopped the clamor and looked at Yang Zhan eagerly.

Yang Zhan arched his hand to them and said in Sichuan dialect: "Dear folks, Yang must do his best to bring the children home!"

The elders and villagers bowed to him one after another: "Thank you, General Yang! Thank you, General Yang!"

Yang Zhan waved goodbye with his fellow villagers and patted his horse to leave. On the way, he said that the generals said: "I was once fortunate to listen to and use the teachings of today's superiors, and today's superiors govern the military and political affairs, and the first priority is people, people!"

"Everyone likes silver dollars with white flowers. There are so many silver dollars today, but he spends all of them to build huge ships, cannons, cannons..." He said, "What I want to do today is thicker, bigger, and harder!"

The generals smiled, and they didn't like anything thicker, bigger and harder!

"The officers and soldiers on the warship are protected by the thick wooden walls of the giant ship, and they use artillery to kill the enemy. The individual soldiers have more muskets and armor. Which dynasty can do it before!" Yang Zhan said with emotion, "We big soldiers. The current income and food are not available to Ming Dynasty at all!"

The generals and officials swiftly nodded their heads, and the two China advanced in military politics, and the treatment of the soldiers was much better than before.

Take Chuanbing for example,

Yang Zhan reminded the generals: "What we care about today is the lives and lives of soldiers. Soldiers should not be sacrificed for nothing. As long as the bullets can go wherever they can go, don’t go to people! You can make money if you don’t have money. Everything is over!"

The generals blasted their promises and were proud of being in such an army.

It was a plain when it was dispatched, and there were many roads or roads. On the endless plain, the several roads running parallel between the fields were full of troops.

There are many people from far and near looking across the fields, watching this magnificent scene; the marching scene is very conspicuous in this kind of place with good sight.

After entering the mountainous area, the long snake-like team gradually gathered into a road. At the intersection, there were "gendarmes" wearing red armbands to control traffic and military discipline.

Except for the gathering of guards on the road, most of the troops were not so punitive and coercive, because everyone went out and camped with a lot of things, big bags and small bags, at least two water bottles, and engineering shovel, axe, etc. A mule or a mule is usually rationed to a mule or a mule for ten people.

Behind the army there are many civilians pushing wheelbarrows and donkey carts;

If it weren't for the orderly team and flags everywhere, it would look more like a large group of people fleeing from famine.

The first step of the army's deployment was to reach western Sichuan, marching all the way, very smooth.

Employ 50,000 troops, consisting of 30,000 mountain troops, 15,000 engineers and 5,000 heavy troops.

Both Zhou Zhengru and Yang Zhan know that the first enemy to enter Tibet is not people, but the climate and environment!

Migrant workers can save money, but they are definitely not as good as military bans. In the face of a dangerous situation, the migrant workers’ unions run away without being able to deal with them by military law. Obviously, the military cannot escape. Only the forces controlled in their hands are the most reliable.

Western Sichuan refers to the area west of the Chengdu Plain, namely the plateau Tibetan areas such as Dajianlu and Ganzi. If developed, including the famous Huanglong, Jiuzhaigou, and Siguniang Mountain, Mount Emei can also be included in Western Sichuan!

At present, western Sichuan is full of high mountains and rugged roads.

Last year, the government lavishly built the road to western Sichuan. Engineers and migrant workers were used together. The number reached 20,000, and half a concrete road was built!

Half way?

Cement has been promoted from the Southeast to Ming Dynasty. It has received great attention from the imperial court and vigorously promoted it. First, a cement plant was built in each state, and then developed to build one in each county. Cement construction is widely used.

After all, the production capacity is limited, and the cement is dead and heavy. It requires a lot of transportation power. The transportation is not easy. It is not enough that the cement plants in the vicinity of western Sichuan have been rounded up by the government. However, the cost of transportation in other places is extremely high.

Therefore, the cement road on the road from Chengdu to Dajianlu in western Sichuan is not enough cement, and the width is only three meters. On this basis, the road is built with sand, which is made of lime, clay and fine sand, and it is tamped with horses and donkeys to extend the road to Six meters.

According to local conditions, if there are many stones in the place, then pave the stone road!

If the river is near the river, the river sand is collected. After mixing the loess, river sand and lime in a certain proportion, use bamboo chips or a mallet to continuously beat and turn it, and leave it for a period of time to merge and age.

In order to increase the firmness, tung oil and glutinous rice syrup are also added to play the role of adhesion ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ They use manpower and animal power to transport, and then use cranes to lift materials and rollers. The cost is very high!

In ancient times, building roads was troublesome. A little further away, there was no human road but a road. It was a road where horses walked. For example, the Ancient Tea Horse Road was a road.

Such a road would definitely be unqualified in western Sichuan or even to Tibet. Wind, snow, rain and water, and rockfalls and landslides. Once something happens in Tibet and the road conditions are bad, the inland soldiers and horse resources cannot enter quickly. Isn't it dangerous?

Therefore, this time the imperial court is determined to spend a lot of money, no matter what, the Sichuan-Tibet line must be repaired to find a good way.

At present, the road from Chengdu to western Sichuan has taken shape, and there is no danger. On both sides of the flat road, you can see a group of beautiful large-scale houses at intervals. This is the highway management area dispatched by the traffic management bureau under the Ministry of Industry. , They are responsible for maintaining roads and also serve as service areas, generally combining the two into one.

In the past, the roads were not managed by full-time personnel. They were organized and maintained by the local officials of various states and counties. If you didn't have the money, you would take care of your people walking in mud, or the money would come down and the road would be lost.

Nowadays, the imperial court has established a new highway yamen to manage road repairs, organize road repairs, and maintain the roads after they are repaired. At the same time, the toll gates that Yan Xiaoqiang brings to the sky are indispensable!

In the past, road toll collection could be used to collect air, and the range of activities of the general public was very small, not even more than five miles away.

In recent years, with the development of the economy, more and more people have gone out of their hometowns. They are doing business, or studying, or traveling, or sending courier letters, etc., walking on the road of construction, and there are also toll stations. Where it is used, the money spent by the court is rewarded.

Since the roads from Chengdu to West Sichuan have been built and highway maintenance stations have been established, the roads are unblocked, and people and resources continue to flow to West Sichuan.
