Qingcang ordered again: "Come here, where are the two armies of the Feilong Army and the Tiger Army now?"
The guard came up and said: "The two armies are rushing towards Huaxia City at this time."
"Oh how's it going?"
"Commander, wait a moment.
Commander Yang from the Intelligence Department just asked someone to bring a letter.
Please read it."
It was a coincidence that there happened to be news coming back from the intelligence bureau under Yang Xiaomei's charge.
This kind of news was dispensable because the time of their arrival was basically the same, but when Qing Cang asked about it, he had to report it so that he could take the next step. preparation.
The guard also acted as a messenger, but only through gossip.
The big ones still need Yang Xiaomei and other responsible persons to come and report.
Qingcang took the note and read it for a while.
At the same time, I also showed it to the two major staff officers.
"The Feilong Army and the Tiger Army captured a total of 150,000 Han troops here.
They are now fifty miles away from Huaxia City.
They should be able to arrive by noon.
In the white night, these people can be enough for you to build a railway."
Bai Ye said: "After my rough calculation, we need to build a railway of at least 200 miles long this time.
It will pass through dozens of mountainous areas.
In some cases, we need to dig out the mountains and lay out tunnels.
Otherwise, we will need to build a railway of 300 miles long." , then more materials are needed.
Based on this calculation, 150,000 people are enough, one year at the latest.
If there are more, the construction date may be advanced. " The ancients were not like modern people.
Their means of transportation were horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.
Some of the 150,000 people had to excavate the mountain and build tunnels all by manpower.
It was not impossible to bypass the mountain, but more materials were needed.
It takes time to create these materials.
In comparison, digging mountains to build tunnels is more efficient and saves materials.
The construction period given by Bai Ye is one year.
Xu Dezhi also said at this time: "Commander, I request that 50,000 people be assigned to join me.
There is a shortage of iron ore at this time, and I need a large number of people to mine."
"Iron ore?"
If Xu Dezhi divides the 150,000 people into 50,000 people, the construction period will be extended, and this matter cannot be delayed.
Because he also wanted Bai Ye to create a connection between Jinyang and the Southern Huns in order to prepare for the transportation of resources in the future.
He thought for a while and then said: "Let's do this.
I will ask the Ministry of Trade to issue a notice to purchase iron ore and iron tools.
Then, all the weapons and armor in stock in my city will be melted down to use as materials needed for the railway.
Also, the captured weapons will be melted down.
If this doesn't work, let the Chinese Legion harvest the weapons and equipment from nearby cities."
He proposed several plans in succession to alleviate the need for iron removal.
Guo Jiadao: "If this is the case, then our weapons will be reduced, how can we break it?"
"Staff Guo, these outdated weapons are no longer useful, and our current flintlocks and close-quarters weapons are no longer useful.
It is better to put them to full use than to let them rust."
Only then did Guo Jia understand.
"If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with melting it."
"Okay, Xu Dezhi, you are the one taking the lead in this matter.

All the weapons must be melted down within these seven days, and the rail process must also start."
"yes" Qing Cang explained the rest in an orderly manner, and everyone had their own responsibilities.
For example, Bai Ye is the commander-in-chief of the railway.
He is responsible for supervising and training railway professionals and providing them with technical support.
His work scope is not limited to the area between Huaxia City and Jinyang.
He is required to go wherever he is needed.
Check.
There is also the matter of taking the lead in building a new steam train.
There are so many things.
As for how he does it, it depends on his own arrangements.
After the railway between Huaxia City and Jinyang is completed, the journey between the two places will only take one hour.
This time is a qualitative leap.
For example, Xu Dezhi was more cooperative in building the rails so that the project materials would not be delayed.
Later, he called Yang Zizong and others over to be responsible for the supply of concrete and wood.
Everyone has their own work, and they have to work together.
That was just an extension of knowing the number of prisoners.
The most important thing was the expedition.
Therefore, he brought the topic back and said, "Let the two army commanders return quickly.
I have something to explain."
"yes" The guards then went out to make arrangements.
It took them fifty miles to arrive in less than half an hour, and with the notice, one hour was enough.
An hour later, Zhao Zilong and Zhang Liao returned, along with a large number of generals in the entire council hall who had just returned.
When Zhao Zilong came out, he saw a short-bore flintlock gun on his waist.
At this time, the entire army was equipped with flintlock guns.
The soldiers used the long-bore ones most, while the leaders used short-bore ones.
Their role is more to direct tactics rather than to fight on the front line.
He said: "Report to the Commander, in this battle, we captured a total of 150,000 enemy troops and collected 200,000 weapons, which have been delivered to the warehouse for processing."
Zhang Liao was also equipped with the same equipment.
He added: "Commander, our flintlock guns are simply invincible.
Wherever they go, the enemies dare not resist and surrender."
When this was said, everyone's expressions were equally excited.
The power of the flintlock gun was so powerful that all enemies who had seen it would not surrender, so the expedition went very smoothly.
"You have worked hard, and you should receive no less rewards or promotions.
At least you two commanders will each be rewarded with 20,000 Chinese yuan this time as a reward."
For positions below the military commander, two military commanders are responsible for rewards, and Qingcang doesn't have to worry too much.
The two said in unison: "Thank you, Commander" He nodded and said: "In the next seven days, I want you to continue training the soldiers.
After seven days, the Feilong Army and I will set off to fight against the Southern Huns while the Tiger Army will defend Huaxia City first and wait for the next step."
His news immediately made everyone present even more excited.
"This Southern Huns should be beaten.
They made us very unhappy last time."
"That is, although the Qiangqu Chanyu died, the feud did not end because of his death."
"Commander is mighty and with the flintlock, we will be invincible."
"I can't wait to take care of them."
"It's great to finally get revenge."
"I want to know when Dong Zhuo and the Black Mountain Army will go to conquer."

"Wait patiently.
As long as the commander is here, they can't escape."
Seven days, just seven days, Qingcang will lead the Feilong Army to crusade against the Southern Huns.
Historically, the Southern Huns were not easy to fight.
It took several years to defeat them each time, but they were rebelled again after a while.
I believe that if the Chinese Legion takes action, there will definitely be a different result, because they have absolute force and will be able to completely harvest them and defeat them completely.
"Okay, you go down and get ready.
This time, I am going to bring the elite.
Those who are not selected should not be discouraged.
The responsibility of guarding is no less important than the responsibility of subjugation."
"yes":
