The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 567 The land of Ming Dynasty can only support the people of Ming Dynasty
Senan Province.

In the morning, the first ray of sunshine shines on the grassland, and everything begins to wake up.

In pastoral areas where the Katai system was also implemented, military households registered with the Ming Dynasty had already gotten up and released their cattle and sheep from their pens, allowing them to roam freely on the designated pastures.

Cows roam the pastures, and sheep graze quietly under the supervision of shepherd dogs.

"Woooooo~"

skyline.

A train passed by on the railway, and the sound of its whistle spread far and wide.

The herdsmen never go there to graze their cattle.

If a cow or sheep is hit and killed by a train on the railway, the train will not compensate. If you dare to go to the railway station to cause trouble, not only will you not get compensation, but you will also be asked to repair the locomotive. This is unreasonable.

Herdsmen drive their cattle to different areas of the pasture, grazing them appropriately according to the season and forage conditions.

During this period, they need to constantly take care of the cattle and sheep. Veterinarians from the mainland will regularly visit various pastoral areas to ensure the health of the livestock.

At the same time, they also tend to the pastures and ensure that the grass is properly rested and restored.

This is hard and important work, but the herdsmen have no complaints because they deeply love the land and the cattle and sheep here.

In the afternoon, the sun becomes more intense.

It’s time for a break on the ranch.

The herdsmen drove their cattle and sheep under the shade of the trees and rested in the shade themselves.

"Jingle Bell."

The caravan came to the pastoral areas and brought a variety of commodities. Not only were they complete in variety, but they were also cheap and very popular among the herdsmen.

Iron pots, iron barrels, coal stoves, salt, tea, sugar, vegetables, cotton-padded clothes, hats, quilts, coir raincoats, tents, trucks, spices, books, newspapers, cosmetic mirrors, cosmetic boxes
"This is the rotation platform."

Businessmen brought new gadgets.

A boxy, half-person-high machine, with carved puppets on each floor. The red and purple little people on the first floor hold signs with the words "Wu Chu" and "Wu Zhi" respectively engraved on them.

The sign held by the little green man on the second floor is engraved with 34 quarters, 35 quarters, and 36 quarters.
“When it’s an odd hour, the little red men in this row will pop up to tell the time. When it’s an even hour, the little purple men in this row will pop up to tell the time. And every quarter of an hour, the little green men will come out. The way to tell time, to beat the drum.”

"Anyway, when the time comes, each little puppet will hold up the corresponding sign. There are 96 little puppets on the third floor, and the top floor is used to tell the time at night."

While introducing it, the businessman debugged it.

The little puppet at the top is like a watchman in the city. The little finger-sized puppet looks at the tiny gong and makes a clear sound, which makes the herdsmen stunned.

"Each hour is an update, and every time it reaches an hour, the puppet will activate and start telling the time."

"really interesting."

"It's an eye-opener."

The herders sighed.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"It existed in the Song Dynasty, but at that time it was driven by water conservancy. The spring used in new technologies now has a lot of details in it. I can't explain it. I saw that there is no key here, so I twisted it all the way. You can drive around on your own for half a day.”

The businessman introduced.

"How do you sell this thing?"

"It's not expensive, only 28 yuan."

"Huh."

The surrounding herdsmen shook their heads. They were reluctant to spend 28 yuan on this thing.

The merchant has no hope of selling.

This is his "treasure of the store". The carvings of hundreds of small puppets alone are worth a lot of money. It is just a business experience to open the eyes of the herdsmen and attract people. In the end, it mainly promotes other products.

Girls from the pastoral area also came.

A lot of small items such as red-head ropes, paper mandarin ducks, kites, and bamboo dragonflies were sold, as well as needlework, scissors, etc.

The most eye-catching thing is this table clock.

The herdsmen gathered around the clock, which aroused heated discussions, and many people were amazed by the vivid little puppet.

After the businessman finished his business, he was invited by the herdsmen to visit their home. The businessman did not hesitate, took a few waiters, and had a delicious meal in the tent with a dozen herdsmen.

Rest in the pastoral area that night.

However, with the smooth flow of traffic to the mainland and pastoral areas, some bad habits were banned, such as the custom of entertaining, and with the influx of a large number of Han people, such a situation would not be allowed.

The next day, the caravan went to the next place.

Tranquility returned to the pasture.

Wang Dabing was assigned to Sainan Province.

A total of more than [-] recruits, led by veterans, conducted summer training.

The entire army of Sainan, Saibei, Daning, Kaiping, and some northern parallel provinces gathered on the land of Sainan. More than 5 cavalry started from Yuerhai, 450 people were in small camps, and more than 100 small camps were like Sasha. The beans form soldiers, forming a wave that patrols from east to west along areas with rich pasture and water flow.

A common practice every spring and autumn.

There are no hostile forces on the grassland anymore. What we are guarding against are small foreign forces. No foreign tribes are allowed to ensure local tranquility and peace and stabilize the order of the grassland.

"Crackling."

The journey of more than three thousand miles will take more than half a month.

One person and two horses not only exercised the cavalry, but also trained the war horses that were usually carefully taken care of. These were the two largest exercises for the northern cavalry.

Wang Dabing had never stayed on horseback for so long, and he was exhausted.

At this time, their team was only halfway through. They had reached their destination at the foot of the Altai Mountains and had to return. Thinking of this, Wang Dabing couldn't help but complain.

Several hundred cavalrymen rested.

The boiling water boiled in the temporary camp last night was poured into the kettle. There was still half a kettle of water left, and Wang Dabing drank it in one gulp. "This won't be allowed next time."

The chief noticed Wang Dabing's behavior and said sternly.

Wang Dabing was very tired, and his heart was full of complaints, but his long-term tenacity and accustomed customs made him still nod his head honestly, without any resistance, and just asked curiously: "Why?"

"If there is an emergency, an extra mouthful of water in your kettle can sometimes save your life."

Wang Dabing didn't take it seriously after hearing Shi Chang's statement.

Although the [-] cavalrymen were spread far apart and could not estimate their surroundings, what year was it now?Wang Dabing didn't think there would be any surprises, but no matter how many thoughts he had, he suppressed them.

Although the Katai system was mainly based on agriculture, the culture of military discipline was still passed down.

"Woooooo~"

The horn sounded and the order was given to set off. Each commander restrained his team and after sorting out the formation, the team set off again.

After traveling thousands of miles.

Wang Dabing saw many sights he had never seen before, and his horizons were opened.

The mountains and deep ravines surrounding the river valley are areas with lush water and grass. Here there are herds of cattle and sheep, and tents are built next to each other. Looking from a distance, they look like white mushrooms growing in the river valley.

The city built became the most prosperous market.

People trade camels, horses, cattle and sheep, wool, hides, iron pots, cotton, fodder, corn, flour, herbs, porcelain and other commodities here.

Herdsmen rode horses, driving disobedient cattle, sheep, horses, and camels.

In the wide river valley, green trees are rolling, and blue smoke is misty, as if someone has hung a dynamic oil painting into the white clouds in the distant sky.

There are no big trees or tall grass in the grassland here. The ground is flat, and cattle, sheep and horses in the distance are freely gnawing on the grass.

The valley followed the river and spiraled up the mountains. It took a long time to turn around without reaching a mountain. Wang Dabing's body was rough and the skin and tender meat were no longer the same as before he set off. The war horse under him stepped on the river beach ground, making a crisp sound.

"Look."

"Snow Mountain!"

A soldier pointed at the mountains in the sky, which were full of white, contrasting with the white clouds, and shouted excitedly.

"arrive."

"We arrived in the Altai Mountains."

After more than half a month of long journey, every soldier was very happy to finally reach the destination of the march.

South of the Altai Mountains are Hami and Yilibali, where they are not needed.

They only need to guard the grasslands and deserts to prevent foreign tribes from flowing in and occupying the fertile pastures to cultivate their health.

The interior of the grassland is already the pastoral area of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

The pastures allocated to each household require external stability and security. This army of them is the protector of the herdsmen, preventing anyone from destroying the stable life of the herdsmen.

The large patrol of [-] cavalry did not find many surprises.

I encountered several unknown small tribes in the direction of Saibei. After interrogation, they were eliminated because they were not in the Ming Dynasty's registers and canonizations.

The land of Ming Dynasty can only support the people of Ming Dynasty.

One by one, the small camps arrived at the base camp.

The base camp of the Altai Mountains is the gatekeeper of the grasslands and deserts in the west, and the remaining Oara forces dare not set foot there.

When [-] cavalrymen gathered at the base camp.

The Oara tribe hundreds of miles away were so frightened that they left the area one after another.

The Oara tribe has become accustomed to the movements twice a year. In order not to cause misunderstandings among the Ming army, they will take the initiative to move further west in these two months.

"Wai!"

"Wai!"

There are tens of thousands of people and there is no limit.

The gathering of [-] cavalrymen can be described as earth-shattering, and the scale is unprecedented.

It is the embodiment of the national power of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the drills at the base camp, people from all over the country came to watch, and even the market followed.

There are flags all over the mountains and plains, and the armor is bright.

"Long live Daming!"

"The Ming Dynasty will last forever!"

Wang Dabing forgot about the hard work and shouted in unison with his comrades. At this time, Wang Dabing no longer had a childish aura. The nearly one-month march was the best training.

Drills at base camp.

It is the Dinghai Shenzhen in the northwest.

When the drill is over, everyone goes back to their homes to find their mothers.

Wang Dabing returned to his base in Daning Province.

"I really want to do it again."

The young man recovered quickly. He only slept for one night and was full of energy the next day. His horses were still nestled in the stables.

Wang Dabing looks forward to the next march.

"Man should be like this."

He said to his colleagues.

The majestic scene at the base camp last time was still unforgettable to him. He felt that in his life, he should be the general of the base camp, commanding the unstoppable torrent and conquering everything in the world.
