Chapter 418: Going to Mongolia

"Extraordinary news, great news, the Holy Emperor personally led the army to attack Mongolia."&1t;/p>

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the Ming Dynasty soldiers attacked Mongolia in 700,000, and the emperor personally fought against the emperor."&1t;/p>

Early in the morning, an explosive news spread on the streets of the capital. People who were about to start their day of work bought a newspaper.&1t;/p>

"Da Ming Daily": In the past, the Ming Dynasty destroyed Jiannu and recovered the Northeast. The remnants of Jiannu fled to Mongolia and colluded with Mongolia. Even the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally conquered Mongolia. When the Mongolian royal city was fought, the Ming Dynasty's official army won the battle. The Holy Emperor was kind and signed a bilateral agreement of understanding with the Mongolian Khan Lin Dankhan and the Ming Dynasty. They opened border trade with them, exchanged their possessions and helped each other. However, Mongolia did not know how to cherish the peace situation, and colluded with the remnants of Jiannu again, and his wolf wildness was obvious. The Holy Emperor was furious and decided to raise an army of 700,000 to attack Mongolia in person.&1t;/p>

"Da Ming Business Daily": The court announced that the Holy Emperor was in charge of the army, and the Sino-Mongolia War began again. The trade between the Ming and Mongolia will be greatly affected, and bilateral trade will not be able to return to its previous state within one or two years. According to professional analysis, although this battle was the emperor's command, there was no suspense to defeat Mongolia. However, the Mongolian grasslands were extremely vast. If Mongolia avoided it and did not fight, the emperor's personal expedition would be extremely likely to return without success.&1t;/p>

In the Jiangnan Guild Hall, a group of Jiangnan students got up early in the morning and soon gathered together. After reading the newspaper, one of them sighed: "I am really a militarized soldier today. Since I ascended the throne, there have been constant wars everywhere in the world. Now I will raise another 700,000 troops to conquer Mongolia in person."&1t;/p>

"This is a sign of great joy in merit, not a blessing for my great ming."&1t;/p>

"In the past, Chengzu also personally conquered Mongolia. Although there were some successes, Mongolia was still not destroyed. Do you think today that his martial arts are better than Emperor Chengzu? I am afraid that this time, he would have to return without success. In the end, he would have to waste the people and lose money!"&1t;/p>

"Ah! The people are suffering, the people are suffering, the people are suffering, the people are suffering!"&1t;/p>

After reading the news published in the newspaper, a group of students from Jiangnan began to swear badly, and all kinds of unbearable comments blurted out.&1t;/p>

Gu Jiang was also in the guild hall. After reading the newspaper, he did not participate in the discussion, but quietly watched the group of students from Jiangnan point out the country and comment on the past and present.&1t;/p>

These students in Jiangnan were obviously very opposed to the new policy reform at this time, and their evaluation of things became very unobjective.&1t;/p>

After coming to the north for a few months, Gu Jiang's understanding of the reform of the new policy in the north has continued to deepen. He has a deep understanding of the root cause of the conflicts in the north and the south today, and everything lies in capital issues.&1t;/p>

The emperor's new policy reform in the north was nothing more than the gentry and business tax payments, which had touched the interests of the big capital merchants and gentry in Jiangnan.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the imperial court also developed state-owned capital, and a large number of state-owned enterprises monopolized many industries. In the capital market, the country advances and the people retreat. If Jiangnan is included in the reform, the interests of those big capital merchants will be severely hit.&1t;/p>

In addition, land reform has also harmed the interests of landlords.&1t;/p>

And those gentry and large capital merchants are also landlords.&1t;/p>

This is a struggle related to class interest groups. Right or wrong is no longer important in the eyes of these people. As long as they threaten their interests, they are wrong.&1t;/p>

People don’t punish themselves for themselves and kill them!&1t;/p>

However, the social system constructed by the old interest classes was too unfair and made the whole country dead. And now after Zi carried out reforms in the north, Gu Jiang saw explosive vitality.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty in the past is like an old man in his twilight steps, and may be pushed down at any time. At this time, the New Deal region shows the youth's vitality and power of progress, which is simply a world of difference.&1t;/p>

Faced with the unobjective evaluations of these Jiangnan students, Gu Jiang did not participate in the debate because he knew that the debate had no effect and would not play any role.&1t;/p>

Judging from the current exhibition situation, as long as the emperor personally conquers Mongolia this time, no problems will arise, all provinces across the country will sooner or later be included in the scope of reform.&1t;/p>

Therefore, there is no need to say more. After having breakfast at the Jiangnan Guild Hall, Gu Jiang went to the train station to buy a train ticket to the Northeast.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had a railway. Travel was extremely convenient, which allowed Gu Jiang to travel to various provinces to save a lot of time spent on the road.&1t;/p>

Sitting on the train and looking at the scenery outside the window, you can often see trains coming towards you, and trucks of trucks of wood, grain, coal and other commodities hanging behind you.&1t;/p>

The transportation efficiency of train repairs, grain, wood and coal in the Northeast region has been greatly improved.&1t;/p>

The price of timber in Guanzhong has gradually declined at the end of last year, and with the continuous construction of 6 railways in various parts of the Northeast, more timber will be transported to the timber in Guanzhong.&1t;/p>

Construction costs are starting to drop.&1t;/p>

The same is true for commodities such as grain and coal, but the prices of coal and grain have not dropped much, but the profits of state-owned enterprises have risen sharply, and they have obtained a large profit margin.&1t;/p>

Gu Jiang embarked on the road of traveling in the Northeast, and Zhu Youxiao also took the train, and the imperial army's personal journey officially set off.&1t;/p>

Spring has arrived, and the ice and snow have melted.&1t;/p>

White clouds float on the deep blue sky. The grasslands are like emerald green carpets, and beautiful wild flowers are dotted with emerald green grasslands.&1t;/p>

This is a beautiful and magnificent grassland scene, with herds of cattle and sheep running on the grass and foraging. The singing of Mongolian herders came melodiously.&1t;/p>

For the Mongolian herders living in the Ming Dynasty, a year of hope has begun again. Their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few years.&1t;/p>

The seven hundred thousand army has gathered on the grassland. The Mongolian herders learned that the great people were going to attack Mongolia, but instead had a supportive attitude.&1t;/p>

The grassland under the management of the Ming Dynasty basically had no oppression or disputes against these Mongolian herders, and they could get assistance from the court when they were affected.&1t;/p>

They all have large grasslands, and they can raise sheep, cattle and horses every year to get a good income, so that the whole family can live a good life.&1t;/p>

Don't worry about starving to death, don't run around and chase water plants.&1t;/p>

Such a good day was not given to them by the Mongolian Lin Danhan. The Ming Dynasty is now trying to conquer Mongolia, so these Mongolian herders naturally support it, and they are supported from the heart. Because Lin Danhan has become the biggest threat to destroy their stable and beautiful life.&1t;/p>

Once Lin Danhan makes a comeback, their good days will come to an end and the existing system will be destroyed by Lin Danhan. So Lin Danhan has become the object of hatred by these Mongolian herders in the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

The snow has melted. The railway has also started construction.&1t;/p>

The seven hundred thousand army began to line up on the grassland in an orderly manner, and did not march heavily. Instead, it was overhauling the railway. The production corps drew five, and there were fifteen production corpses. Each corps was organized with 20,000 soldiers.&1t;/p>

The skills of railway construction are easy to master, nothing more than building foundations, laying sleepers, and steel rails.&1t;/p>

It is easier to build railways on flat grasslands, and of course there are also some hilly areas with not too much ups and downs in the middle.&1t;/p>

The railway construction is divided into 5 sections, each with about 80,000 troops. After the road is repaired, it will move forward alternately. A large amount of materials are continuously transported to the construction site by carriages, and these construction sites are still building cities and warehouses.&1t;/p>

The railway section is built, and the train will drive directly over and transport a large amount of construction materials to the warehouse. Then it is pulled to the construction site by a carriage.&1t;/p>

In addition to the 700,000 troops, nearly 300,000 railway workers were also dispatched from the rear to build railways, railway workers and soldiers built railways, cities, and fortresses.&1t;/p>

Five miles a small fort, ten miles a big fort, fifty miles a town, two hundred miles a city.&1t;/p>

This is a very large construction project, but with the current manpower and material resources and productivity level of the Ming Dynasty, it can be achieved.&1t;/p>

The construction site is full of explosions, which is the use of new explosives to blast. The efficiency is many times higher than before using black gunpowder for blasting, and the cost is greatly reduced.&1t;/p>

A large amount of sand and gravel were laid into roadbeds, sleepers, and steel rails, which were directly laid on it. It was like building a wooden board. The work efficiency of soldiers and the large number of sections started, the railway construction was simply out of reach.&1t;/p>

There are five sections of road, each section is 100 miles long, that is, 250 kilometers of road sections under construction. Each section can be completed in only half a month. There are too many people invested.&1t;/p>

The key is to keep up with the transportation of construction materials. As long as the transportation of materials can keep up, the road can be repaired without even half a month in theory.&1t;/p>

Because there are many people invested. After doing things, soldiers and workers need to transfer to the next construction section. During this period, time is wasted, unlike normal railway construction activities. Workers are moving forward while construction.&1t;/p>

At the same time, on the grassland, the transportation of supplies and other supplies depends on the rear.&1t;/p>

In half a month, it was actually very abundant, because the railway trunk line built on the grasslands of the Ming Dynasty was on a double-track, and there were enough locomotives and train shelves prepared, and the material resources were continuously transported to the front line. In addition to 300,000 railway workers participating in the construction, there were more than 200,000 transport personnel, which was enough to ensure the transportation of materials.&1t;/p>

Not only will the railway be built within half a month, but the fortress will be built at the same time, and the city will be completed.&1t;/p>

The ethnic groups on the grassland do not have strong siege capabilities, so the city walls of the town do not need to be built too high or too thick. Just pour the steel and cement, and then build some bricks.&1t;/p>

After all, the Ming Dynasty now has artillery, machine guns, and new rifles, and its defensive firepower is very fierce. The role of the city wall is only to provide a buffer time so that the defenders in the city can have enough time to react and not be quickly attacked by the cavalry.&1t;/p>

As long as the Ming army in the city reacted, the Mongolian cavalry would not even dare to approach with its powerful firepower. Therefore, the construction volume of these towns and fortresses is actually not very large, and the economic development capacity on the grassland is limited, so there is no need to build the city so big.&1t;/p>

What's more, these city walls will be useless in the future, so the size of the town only needs to be able to accommodate the garrison troops and some workers.&1t;/p>

This railway trunk line, which is about 830 kilometers, can divide Mongolia into east and west parts. This railway can be repaired in more than three months, and the towns and fortresses along the way will be built.&1t;/p>

From the moment of the Ming army's army, Lin Danhan arranged the main force of Mongolia far away and made up his mind to fight guerrilla warfare with the Ming army on the grassland and play hide and seek.&1t;/p>

As a result...the Ming army's intentions were fulfilled, and the construction was so smooth and there was no interference at all. The construction rhythm of the Ming army was a bit chaotic at the beginning. After all, there were too many people and the human resources were not fully utilized.&1t;/p>

But after just a few days, the chaotic situation improved significantly, and the troops and workers began to adapt to the rhythm and knew what they were going to do.&1t;/p>

The construction site is in full swing, and basically no one is lazy on the construction site.&1t;/p>

This is a national war. The soldiers and workers have put in twelve minutes of strength. From morning to night, they will not rest without rest. All construction activities are racing against time.&1t;/p>

After Zhu Youxiao came to the front line, he didn't need to worry about any problems in the rear. The most elite central army of the Ming Dynasty was concentrated in the Mongolian war zone. Moreover, with the current environment after the reform of the new policies of the northern provinces and the rise of the interest class of the state-owned capital consortium, no one can successfully launch a coup of force.&1t;/p>

Even if there was a coup, Zhu Youxiao was able to return to the army at any time, and the elites of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated in his hands. Who was his opponent?&1t;/p>

Moreover, the army is not tired because of the continuous supply of resources in the rear. Although it is striving to build every day, food and sleep are still sufficiently guaranteed.&1t;/p>

The food is very good, and you can eat a lot every meal, with fish and meat. Warm clothes, blankets, quilts and other things are also sufficient.&1t;/p>

It's completely hungry and can't freeze.&1t;/p>

As long as the logistics can be guaranteed, Zhu Youxiao is not afraid of any opponents. With the finances of the Ming Dynasty and the current production scale, it can fully guarantee logistics supply, and there is no money in the bank. There will be big problems in logistics support, and someone must be interfering with it. Just straighten out the rules and can pull people out and pieces.&1t;/p>

And a telegram line was laid, and any abnormal movements in the rear could be found at any time, and the coup could be strangled in the initial stage as soon as possible. After all, it would take a certain amount of time to organize military forces after the coup.&1t;/p>

While building the railway, a large number of scouts had been sent out. At the same time, five infantry divisions equipped with horses to transport.&1t;/p>

These five infantry divisions began to sweep the surroundings by building the road section. Once these five infantry divisions emerged from the main force of Mongolia, they would bite them.&1t;/p>

Avoid the main force of Mongolia coming to harass the construction site and hinder the construction progress.&1t;/p>

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao still has 250,000 elite Central Army, who can deal with the Mongol attacks at any time. The production corps and construction corps on the construction site can also defend and fight.&1t;/p>

The core of this war is railway.&1t;/p>

If the Mongols did not stop the construction of railways and towns along the way, the Mongols would lose the war. Lin Danhan obviously did not immediately realize this problem after the beginning of spring.&1t;/p>

It is estimated that it won't take long before Lin Danhan will jump up and down, and it will definitely be lively by then.&1t;/p>
