Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 134 What kind of place is this?
In school, there are several courses now, not to mention basic subjects such as mathematics and physics.

Xu Guangqi must be very interested in mathematics.

In addition, several small classes were opened in the school, and two to three hundred teenagers aged twelve or thirteen were selected to teach various professional subjects.

These specialized courses include agronomy in addition to steel and metallurgy, driving, mechanics, excavators, metal welding, sewing, etc.

Such as agronomy, forestry, grass science, animal medicine, etc.

These are all aspects that are urgently needed for the future development of the strong ground.

Zhao Cheng is confident that as long as Xu Guangqi is exposed to these courses, he will definitely be immersed in them. If he doesn't learn well, even if he is driven away, he will not leave.

The most important thing is Xu Guangqi's body.

This old man is a treasure, the longer he lives the better.

Fearing that Xu Guangqi would go against him, Zhao Cheng told Uncle Lai Gen that he must take Xu Guangqi to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

……

Five hundred sergeants assembled on time, and no one was late.

Thousands of strong local people lined the road to see each other off.

A sergeant, all wearing a bright red mandarin duck war jacket, carrying a spear and a saber, is valiant and high-spirited.

A few red flags fluttered in the wind.

The frontmost one is the largest, with a long winding thread embroidered with yellow silk on the bright red flag.

Master Zhao said that the long line represents the Great Wall.

This flag is a symbol and representative of strong land.

In the back, there is a team of one hundred people, and someone in the front is holding a flag.

The same red flag, but with a yellow silk thread showing a five-pointed star on it, inside the five-pointed star are a pair of crossed muskets with bayonets.

Near the flagpole, there is a wide strip of white background, with a vertical line written in black on it:
The first unit of the strong new army.

After that, it will be the second detachment of the Qiangdi New Army.

The third unit of the strong new army.

The fourth unit of the strong new army.

The fifth unit of the strong new army.

Five teams, each with two flags.

The flag raised by the unit is the flag of the strong army.

This was also designed by Mr. Zhao himself.

The five-pointed star represents unity, and the crossed guns with bayonets represent that the barrel of the gun decides everything.

The sergeants held their heads high, shouldered their guns, and marched in neat steps towards the strong ground, and a loud and clear singing sounded:
"It's a fine morning
Pigeon whistle accompanied by wake-up call
But the world is not peaceful

Warm life also has turbulent storms
Are you ready

soldiers brothers

When that day does come

Don't worry, hometown

don't worry my dear

In order to win, I must go forward bravely
Look at the direction in which the flag is flying

Marching with horses and guns

It also has our names flying on it

Young soldiers eager to build feats

Are you ready

soldiers brothers

When that day does come

Don't worry, hometown

don't worry my dear

In order to win, I must go forward bravely
Are you ready

soldiers brothers

When that day does come

Don't worry, hometown

don't worry my dear

In order to win, I will go forward bravely"

The singing roared from the chests of the young soldiers, and the sound was deafening.

Among the crowd, someone began to sing along.

Gradually, there were more and more voices, converging into an ear-shattering voice, echoing above the strong ground.

Strong military training, the sergeants often sing songs during their usual training, and the voice is very loud.

Many people like to listen to the sergeants singing outside the barracks, learn this tune, and then walk all the way, humming along the way.

Almost all stronglanders are somewhat familiar with the tune and lyrics, and can hum a few words along with it.

"What kind of place is this? What kind of world is this?"

Xu Guangqi sighed with emotion.

……

Ding!
The moment the sergeants left the city and mounted their horses collectively, Zhao Cheng heard a crisp sound.

"System upgrade, suspend use..."

chap!
Zhao Cheng was overjoyed at first.

Then, a burst of depression.

There are 500 of them, and they can set off with light clothes. His greatest strength is this infrastructure system!
With the infrastructure system in place, he has no logistical pressure.

Who would have thought that the system would start to upgrade just after leaving the strong ground.

But it’s okay, this time the system is upgraded, I don’t know what weapons and equipment can be unlocked?
Zhao Cheng's biggest expectation is the rifled gun.

The power of the musket is still not enough.

In this way, we can't rush to Chaigoubao.

It is best to complete the system upgrade on the road. If the new equipment is unlocked as desired, then the entire army will be equipped with new equipment.

Now Zhao Cheng is leading 500 people, all of them are muskets, [-] kilograms of beef jerky and compressed biscuits.

In addition, each unit has a small flag sergeant who can skillfully operate artillery.

However, Zhao Cheng did not carry artillery, which made the sergeants feel very strange.

Niu Dali and others have all suggested to Zhao Cheng that it is best to use Sharmara to mount the Franco cannon.

Because they had seen the power of Fran's cannon when they were fighting Hulu Niulu.

This proposal was rejected by Zhao Cheng.

In the words of Mr. Zhao, if you bring the Fran cannon, it will slow down the marching speed of the entire team, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Moreover, the adults said that when the battle required, he would naturally have a way.

Although Niu Dali and the others were surprised, they didn't have the slightest doubt.

Whatever the adults say, it must be.

The army marched northward for two hours, and saw a tall city wall in the distance.

Huai'an Weicheng has arrived.

From afar, one could see a commotion and panic at the gate of the city, and the dust was steaming.

The gatekeepers hastily closed the city gate.

Outside the city, the refugees who did not have time to enter the city and the people of the nearby villages were locked outside, crying and shouting to let the city gate open, but the soldiers on the city were not moved at all.

"My lord, we are wearing mandarin ducks and war jackets, and we are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court. What are they doing behind closed doors?" Niu Dali asked with some doubts.

"Hehe! I have to ask Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang is really a good soldier! He is very vigilant!" Zhao Cheng smiled lightly.

Next to him, Yang Cang blushed.

Now Yang Cang, with a blue nose and swollen face, riding a horse, can be as embarrassed as he wants.

If he dared to scold Mr. Zhao in a strong place, how could he end well?

The Qiangdi Army almost killed him.

It was because Zhao Cheng said that he was still useful, so he saved his life.

"My lord Zhao laughed at me. This... I can't blame the officials for this. The main reason is that the world is too chaotic. Sometimes the court soldiers and horses can cause great harm!"

Yang Cang smiled wryly.

He has already been dealt with out of temper, and he also calls himself a low-ranking official in front of Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng nodded.

Know that Yang Cang is telling the truth.

"These days, banditry is like combing, soldiers are like shavings, and officials are like shaving. When will the hard life of the common people end!"

Zhao Cheng sighed softly.

Xing, the people suffer.die, the people suffer.

Life is difficult for ordinary people in peaceful times, but in troubled times, it will be even worse.

"Master Yang, please do me a favor and open the city gate."
