Chapter 346: Dragon City


Of course, this describes the happy life of southern immigrants.

If the northern immigrants come at the right season, they will quickly start to sow the seeds and then start to take care of the fields.

However, when some people arrive at the immigration settlement, the farming season has passed, so they can only cut firewood to prepare enough for the coming of winter.

At this time, local officials brought people from steel plants, coal mines and cement plants to recruit temporary miners.

After hearing about the money miners could earn in a day, many people immediately expressed their willingness to become a miner and contribute to the construction of Ming Dynasty's railways and highways.

In this cold season, it is not too cold to mine underground, and the food is very good, with meat for every meal, and each person can get one or two wines for dinner.

Wherever you live, there is a kang, which can provide plenty of heat.

You can have good food, housing, and money.

All you need to pay is some effort.

As long as you eat well, you will have more energy the next day after you use it. .

With these new immigrants, various factories and mines have almost prepared the materials needed for the start of spring.

Everything is fine here, except that the cold is unbearable, and the people are fine.

They are wearing down jackets, leather gloves, and face shields made of cotton.

Only two holes are exposed for breathing, and the feet are double-layered shoes. , fur inside and rubber outside.

But the land is so hard that when you hit it with a pickaxe, there will be only a white mark, so you can't work on the ground at all.

Soldiers from Liaodong are familiar with this kind of soil because it is found in the Daxinganling Mountains.

Students in the geography department of the institute have conducted long-term inspections in Changbai Mountain and other places, and have already understood some characteristics of this soil.

However, there is no other way to start building roads in the frozen soil than to wait for the weather to warm up.

The Beijing-North Railway, formerly the Beijing-Xiao Railway, was busy even in the cold winter.

A large amount of food, clothing, quilts, ammunition, weapons, and agricultural tools were transported to Beihai, and then dispersed to various immigration points and garrison areas using other means of transportation.

The big trees in the North Sea were cut down with hacksaws, their branches removed, and then transported back to the mainland to become materials for building large ships.

In March of the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, the exploration of the railway line from Beihai to Shuanghe City had been completed, and the construction work began as soon as the weather got warmer.

The Ministry of Railways recruited temporary workers on a large scale among the immigrants and paid them very high wages: two hundred cash a day.

This caused many immigrants to hastily scatter the seeds and then leave the work in the fields to their families to earn the wages.

Sufficient human resources, and the sleepers and rails that had been prepared long ago made the railway construction work go extremely smoothly.

A total of five stations have been set up on this more than one thousand miles of railway, basically one station every two hundred miles.

The immigrants were originally resettled according to railways and stations.

The Ministry of Railways divided the entire railway into six sections and constructed them separately, which speeded up the construction process a lot.

The Ministry of Railways' plan is to complete this section of the railway in the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse.

Then by next year, the Ming army's logistics transportation capacity will increase by more than a thousand miles.

Two divisions are currently stationed in Shuanghe City.

In addition to the 3,000 soldiers guarding the city, the other soldiers have formed small teams and begun to complete the combat mission for the fifteenth year of Apocalypse.

In the fourteenth year of the Apocalypse, the Ming army in Shuanghe City swept through an area of ​​more than a thousand miles north and west of Shuangcheng River, killing more than 6,000 Rakshasa people and capturing more than 4,000 people, most of whom were They were Cossack mercenaries and a small number of merchants.

Moreover, the Ming army consumed very little food during this process, and could basically support war with war.

He suffered more than 1,000 casualties, including more than 600 killed and more than 600 wounded.

Most of the Rakshasa people are a team of merchants, and their combat effectiveness cannot be said to be strong.

If they encounter a larger Rakshasa army, they will gather several small teams to attack together.

With the advantage of weapons, the Ming army has tasted a great benefit, so as soon as they At the beginning of spring, Xue Boling and Sun Fumin personally led the team with a small team of less than 500 people and began to sweep further north and west.

First, they wanted to grab food and gold and silver, and second, they wanted to eliminate any Rakshasa people who entered this area. .

As for the Mongols or Watsa people living in this area, the Ming army tried its best to recruit them first and let them join the Ming army.

Perhaps because of the same skin color, or perhaps because of the power of the Ming army's weapons, the recruitment and surrender process went smoothly.

The Ming army only asked them to contact the Ming army after seeing the Rakshasa people in the future, and had no other requirements.

This made the Tatars, who were oppressed by the Cossacks, naturally choose to cooperate with the Ming army.

During this process, there was also a Tatar tribe who acted against the will and lured a Ming army squad into a Rakshasa ambush.

As a result, after paying more than 80 lives, the Ming army team defeated the siege of the Rakshasa people.

In turn, they killed all the Tatar tribe, from the elderly to the children, leaving no one alive, and then piled their heads Chengjingguan scared some of the watching Tatars to the point where they no longer dared to think of anything else.

Sun Fumin, who had resumed his status as division commander, relied on Tomsk and sent twenty teams to search in all directions.

The small team he led went south and met the Rakshasa people near a small castle called Ob.

After a fierce battle, the Ming army defeated the Rakshasa people and captured the city of Ob.

Further south is the territory of the Junggar people, and to the west is the Kazakh Khanate.

In this way, in name, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has been connected.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao also began to march north from the Kazakh Khanate and came to the border of the Kazakh Khanate.

After he obtained information about the Ming army, he sent a messenger to Ob City.

Sun Fumin was overjoyed, so he sent a messenger to see Cao Wenzhao, and invited Cao Bianjiao to first come to Bike City, more than a hundred miles southwest of Ob, to station in Bike City, forming a horns with Ob.

After Cao Wenzhao received Cao Bianjiao's letter, he ordered him to use Bic City as a base and continue to attack all the Rakshasa people he encountered in the northwest direction until he reached Akmola, and then stationed here to wait for the Ming army's attack. force.

Akmola was Astana in later generations, but at this time it was not owned by the Kazakh Khanate, but was just a small village by the Ishim River.

The Ming army's detachment has already visited this place and believes that it is a very suitable place to live and can accommodate a large number of immigrants.

There are not many indigenous people living here at this time, so they should take this opportunity to occupy it.

Cao Bianjiao followed his words and marched towards Akmola.

After expelling and recruiting the Mongols here, he began to build a castle here.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao's battle report finally arrived in the capital.

After Zhu Youxiao carefully read the battle report and the map that came with the battle report, he named the city Hualong City
