The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 509
It is getting colder and colder in Beiping in autumn.

"The weather is getting weirder and weirder."

"This year's production is less than last year's production."

"It's only a little less. I think you didn't take good care of the land."

Public housing in Baihusuo.

It became a place where liquor was sold. Military households from the local Baihusuo often came to the public house of the Baihusuo to drink in their spare time.

After all, it is a health center, and the rules have not been completely broken.

No one dares to gamble here, and no one dares to hire prostitutes. In a semi-closed social environment, people don't dare to mess around. Everyone is afraid of being stabbed in the back.

There are newspapers and books in the public room.

Although prostitutes are not allowed here, there are fathers and daughters who are still singing traditional songs. They have found a better place to make a living.

There was a small tune in the public room, the men chatting about things from all over the world.

In the stables outside the public house, there are many healthy horses with shiny coats that can only be obtained through sufficient bean feed and careful care.

The evening moon has climbed up to the treetops, but the afterglow of the sun in the west has not yet completely set.

"Farming is indeed not as hard as in previous years." The man admitted, shaking his head again: "I have estimated that the small harvest is more due to the climate."

"This year is colder than last year, and last year was colder than the year before. There have been a lot of floods in recent years. If Zhuozhou hadn't abandoned a lot of fields, I'm afraid the newspapers would have published news about the disaster."

"You are unfounded."

"hope so."

"Anyway, if the climate continues like this, I'm afraid the output will become less and less."

"Bullshit."

"Even if the past two years are not good, at most it will last for three to five years before it comes back again. Who among us is worried about this now?"

When the military householders spoke, their backs were stiff.

There is a little money in the pocket, food at home, a group of children, a hard and stable life, and a face full of confidence.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Hundreds of households stood up drunk, and people gave him face.

"The Qianhu Office has issued a notice that every member of the family must report to the Qianhu Office for half a month of practice."

"Good grades will be rewarded, and those who fall behind will be issued a letter of reprimand."

Baihu said with a smile, "Anyway, it's up to you to decide whether to embarrass yourself or not." Baihu didn't have much power left, he was just a mouthpiece.

However, since he is used to talking, Baihu reminded: "If you say something unpleasant, those who have received the ordination letter will have to keep it down when marrying their son or marrying his wife."

After learning about it, seeing that Baihu had no other explanation, people resumed conversation.

Who can forget the skills of being a soldier?

There is a saying in later generations: The Ming army is not satisfied with its pay, but it is invincible if it is fully paid.Although it is a joke, the truth is to the point.

No matter how hard the guard station is, as long as they are given money and food, they can easily recruit an elite army with good organization and order.

The military households in the guard station who are also farmers and have not practiced all year round can overwhelm the organized people who are farming.

Having been a soldier for generations, even if you don’t practice many things on weekdays, even if you forget many things because of poverty, some things have been integrated into your bones.

"Crackling."

The horse moved forward slowly in the mountains and forests. Seven or eight young men dismounted without holding the reins, holding bows and arrows in their hands.

"Is there really a pack of wild wolves?"

"I've seen it during the day."

The young men from these military households were so young that they made an appointment to hunt wolves at night.

Under the night.

The collective activities made the teenagers excited. No one was afraid. Instead, they looked forward to finding the wolves as soon as possible.

They have never seen wolves since they were children, only in books.

I didn’t expect there would be wolves today.

With the large-scale well system and the restoration of the natural environment, birds and animals began to appear in the wilderness, and humans and nature coexisted.

The oldest boy is 15 years old, and the youngest one is also eleven or twelve years old.

Most of the children are not short in stature.

Years of not heavy labor have made their arms full of strength.

"Look."

"Self-made firecracker."

The children lowered their throats and made sounds of joy.

The oldest boy took out a homemade firecracker he had stolen from home from the bag on his horse's back.

"Bring it to me."

"Don't make trouble."

"I told my sister that you won't take care of me." The eleven or twelve-year-old child threatened, "Do you still want to be nice to my sister?"

After some hesitation.

The young man was reluctant to hand over his own firecracker to the child.

"Don't fire, it will scare them away. Only in emergencies." The boy explained and handed the other party his only firearm.

In the woods on the hillside.

These children seemed to be on an adventure.

The afterglow of the sun has dissipated, the sky has darkened, and the children's bright eyes shine in the forest.

They are the masters of this forest.

far away.

The wolves left quietly, not daring to attack the two-legged monsters.

"Woof woof... woof."

The hunting dogs barked and discovered movement in the distance.

"superior."

The children let go of the rope.

More than ten hunting dogs, encouraged by their young owners, chased the wolves together.

"boom."

Fire flashes.

Four wolves fell in the grass covered in blood.

The hunting dogs stuck out their tongues and ran back and forth around the bodies of the four wolves, growling from time to time, more like showing off.

The children sat or stood quietly for a long time.

"Haha."

"Hahaha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The teenagers and children in the forest laughed one after another.

The most dangerous moment just now has been forgotten.

Two wolves ran away, and they were not prepared to chase them again.

The gunshots were heard far away.

"Crackling."

The sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and several military households came to inquire about the situation, and finally found them in the woods.

"Good boy."

"Let's see how I deal with you when I get back."

Gundo knew what was going on at a glance and couldn't help but laugh. Children today are much more courageous than when they were young.

The second day. "Wang Dabing."

When the boy heard the cry, he turned around subconsciously and saw the girl chasing him, with a whip in her hand.

"Mother."

The young man ran away.

"You brought my brother into chaos and caused him to get beaten up. Stop with me." The girl bared her teeth and claws fiercely.

The young man ran neither fast nor slowly. After a certain distance, he took the initiative to stop and wait for the girl. The two of them jogged all the way.

The girl put her hands on her hips and stopped chasing.

"Ximei, I will marry you next year."

"Pooh."

The girl blushed.

"I'm serious." The young man said anxiously, "My father and I have already agreed, and my father has also told your father."

"You're talking nonsense."

The girl was shy and anxious, covered her ears with her hands, turned around and left in a hurry.

The young man followed with a smile.

"If you don't go to school, what will I do with Katai?"

The girl looked back again.

The boys don't study much. There are social studies in Baihu Institute, and they go to study every now and then, usually for three to five years.

There were girls too, but Ximei's family didn't let her go.

"I'll follow you."

"Just skip school and don't take me with you." Ximei smiled and went to wash clothes by the stream. The boy stayed with Ximei by the stream.

Looking at Ximei's rolled up trousers, the boy swallowed.

"Ximei."

"What else?"

"Let me take a sip."

"you……"

Ximei raised her mallet and chased the boy to hit him. The boy laughed loudly, and the stream was filled with the laughter of the two of them.

On the railway in Senan Province, a train surrounded by fences was packed with sheep, and the sheep were transported to the south.

The boy was riding a horse with Ximei cuddled in front of him. The two had grown up together and had done nothing else.

"Look."

The young man pointed to the train and said, "The train transporting to the Western Provinces."

"how do you know."

Ximei asked curiously.

"There's a war going on over there in the Western Region, I guessed it." The young man said with a smile, "Next year when I get married to you and we have a baby, I will also sign up to be a soldier."

"Bah, who will have a child with you?"

"shameless."

Ximei cursed, her face turned red.

"I want to be a soldier for ten years, make great achievements, become a general, and make you the general's wife."

"I don't want to be the general's wife."

"Then what do you want to be?"

the boy asked curiously.

"It's good that you come back safely."

The girl lowered her head and said nonchalantly.

The boy didn't feel the girl's care, he just felt that the girl didn't understand that men are ambitious and are girls after all.

"Just watch, I will definitely become a general."

The young man's eyes were firm.

"Dangdangdang."

far away.

When the train on the railway reached the densely populated Katai area, it rang its bell to alert people around it that a train was moving.

The sheep arrived in Shaanxi after three days of transportation.

In Shaanxi Province, after being smoked, dried or pickled in factories, it was then sent to the Western Region Provinces by railway.

Part of the supplies were transported from Jiayuguan to Hami, and some of the supplies were sent to Yilili, which was further away.

"Army attack."

Zhu Di was riding on his horse, and the generals behind him were looking forward with high spirits.

After an effective attack by artillery fire.

The enemies were routed.

They wanted to start a hand-to-hand battle with the Ming army.

A small battalion took the initiative to counterattack and relied on bayonets to attack, destroying the enemy's will in less than a quarter of an hour.

"The black fireman is nothing more than that."

Zhu Di lost interest.

Zhu Neng stepped forward to take command of Zhu Di and issued a military order for the entire army to attack.

There is no need to waste time anymore.

Nearly [-] Ming Dynasty cavalry pursued the defeated enemies, trying not to let anyone go and annihilate all the enemies as much as possible.

There were corpses everywhere around Atami.

Flags fell to the ground and horses lost their masters on the battlefield.

The green grass was reduced to dirt by shells.

The entire green land was left with brown pits one after another, which was extremely ugly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was right.

So Zhu Gaochi miscalculated.

The black son-in-law is not without temper. He is the third successor of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the youngest son of Tulhulu Timur.

The Great Khan wanted to sneak attack the Ming army, but was defeated by the counterattack.

Zhu Di pursued me for thousands of miles and recovered my Qian in one fell swoop.

My stem is the Andijan region of the later Uzbekistan country, which has surpassed Kyrgyzstan and reached Central Asia.

Historically, my Qian paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. In the 11th year of Yongle, I paid tribute with Hami. However, the land was too small to pay regular tribute, and the latter did not come.

"It's a pity that there are hidden dangers left."

Zhu Di was disappointed.

The black son of fire fled into Timur's sphere of influence. His son reminded him many times that Zhu Di did not want to fight anymore.

It has been more than a year since the army was launched, but there are also a shortage of sergeants.

Requires self-cultivation.

The good news spread back to the capital.

The prince's personal expedition in the 31st year of Hongwu ended in the autumn of the 32nd year of Hongwu. He recovered more than [-] miles of his hometown and expanded more than [-] miles of territory, totaling [-] miles of territory.

All the ministers expressed their congratulations.

The newspapers were full of congratulations.

Ji Gang entered the Wenhua Palace with a serious face and asked to see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. He discovered a major case with evil intentions.
