The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 120 Departure, Canal

After leaving the dinner, he was talking to his two mothers.

If parents are not traveling far, they must travel well.

Now it's a serious matter, although there is some reluctance, whether it's true or false, but apart from some worries, I don't ask for anything.

Just remind me again and again, which things to bring, don't treat yourself badly, and eat better.

Not long after, without Zheng Xiong, the people at the dinner table finished their meal, and then they chatted for a while.

The two good brothers who worshiped the master left after a short stay, leaving time for Zheng Xiong to have a good rest.

The rest of the family didn't care much, the main thing was to let Zheng Xiong be careful on the battlefield, after all, swords have no eyes.

The next day, the family said goodbye.

When Zheng Xiong came to the pharmacy, everyone was ready to go, including the recruited doctors.

Looking at the people in the pharmacy that had already assembled in front of him, Zheng Xiong couldn't help but look sideways.

The medicine box on the left and the gun on the right.

Wearing ordinary clothes, it is harmless to humans and animals.

With a sharp blade in his body, he kills himself.

One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon, and it is connected between one thought.

Neither fish nor fowl, Zheng Xiong made a brief speech.

"One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand youths and one hundred thousand soldiers."

"I am a doctor, helping the world and saving the people, but I can't use a knife or a gun, but I can save one person. Now is the time when we are needed."

"I don't know how many lives will be lost in the war. I only know that as long as there is a chance, these young lives cannot be lost in vain."

"Hanging the pot to aid the people and protect the army, the mountains and rivers are safe and return with spring."

Seeing that it was a slogan, everyone repeated it loudly.

"Hanging the pot to aid the people and protect the army, the mountains and rivers are safe and return with spring."

"Expel the barbarians and restore China."

Zheng Xiong took advantage of the situation and used Lao Zhu's slogan, and the doctor was aroused a little, and continued to shout out.

"Expel the barbarians and restore China."

Looking at the growing emotions of these veterans, Zheng Xiong waved his hand.

"set off!"

The army marched north, and the doctors only took care of their food, and the military supplies were transported by special personnel.

Zheng Xiong was with the army, and the Tai Hospital did not send anyone to supervise the doctors who accompanied the army, but was only responsible for the dispatch of medicines.

Although Lao Zhu did not agree with Zheng Xiong's request to change the route, he gave Zheng Xiong the right to lead the doctors, and all the doctors dispatched were under Zheng Xiong's jurisdiction.

A group of doctors came to the wharf of Shangxin River. Except for the Beizheng fleet transporting supplies, there was not a single fleet of idle fleets on the river.

Regardless of whether it was the conscripted merchant ships or Lao Zhu's existing ships, they all parked quietly on the river with special flags, waiting for the coming personnel or supplies.

Everything is in order.

Ships full of supplies or people left one by one.

Soon, it was Zheng Xiong's turn, and Zheng Xiong led the doctors on board, accompanied by doctors recruited from various places.

In terms of statistics, Zheng Xiong handed Yang Yitian the responsibility. As the second person in the pharmacy, Zheng Xiong didn't do statistics, so Yang Yitian did his part.

Including the doctor's meeting at the pharmacy is Yang's daily affairs.

"Withdrawal, there should be 250 people from the pharmacy and doctors from all over the country, but there are actually 250 people."

Hearing this number, Zheng Xiong frowned, what the hell number.

"Counting you and I don't have one."

"Forget it."

"Then you go down!"

Hearing Zheng Xiong's question, although he didn't know the reason, Yang Yitian was still a little happy.

"What Tiling said is true."

"Naturally it's fake."

Your sister has something wrong, she was molested by Zheng Xiong, and Yang Yitian secretly slandered her.

If the number is unlucky, it is unlucky, but letting Yang Yitian leave Zheng Xiong is not going to do that.

"Tiling, the lower official really wants to go back, can the withdrawal be accommodating."

"It's not impossible to go back, but you have to think about it. If you take this step, this officer will have to accuse you of running away from battle."

This is not giving a chance at all, Yang Yitian calmed down, came to the cabin silently, and gave a lecture to the doctors.

After finishing the work, I felt much more comfortable. No one cared about how bad the doctor was to Yang Yitian, who wanted to divert his emotional experience.

The ship departed from the pier and headed north along the canal with the mighty fleet.

Many people were uncomfortable with the rickety ship, and many doctors accompanying the army also suffered from seasickness.

However, the doctor on this ship is free for problems such as seasickness.

Either acupuncture each other, or take a prepared mandan or other anti-seasickness medicine, and pinch them with your hands.

There is also the mood to step onto the deck and enjoy the scenery along the way.

In terms of logistics and materials, the West Road went along the canal to Henan, and the Zhongxi Road went to Shandong, and they parted ways.

After the founding of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, in order to facilitate the transportation of materials from the Han region in the south to the north and become a "permanent national benefit", Yuan Ting Daxing labor service reconnected the Grand Canal that was gradually interrupted after the mid-Tang Dynasty, which was called "straightening the canal" in history.

After the canal is completed, a large amount of materials from the south can be continuously transported to the north through the canal to meet the extravagant and luxurious needs of the Mongolian and Yuan nobles and the food needs of the large population in the north.

In the late Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the canals in Henan were damaged due to floods, and the Yuan court invested a lot of money to rebuild them. This is the Jialu River.

The result of the Yuan court’s constant maintenance of the canal was that in 1367, when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the south and started the Northern Expedition, the rivers leading to Henan, Shandong, and even Yuan Dadu were basically unobstructed.

Before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang formulated the Northern Expedition plan of "taking Shandong first, then Henan, occupying Tongguan, marching into the capital, and then advancing westward". If you compare it with a river map of the Yuan Dynasty, you will find it interesting. His marching route is a typical march along the river.

In Henan, the Ming army quickly controlled Henan by "opening Nailaopo Dam and leading boats from Yuncheng to Bianliang to take Henan".

The Shandong area was an important hub of the canal system in the Yuan Dynasty, and the river network was densely covered. The Ming army quickly controlled Shandong along the developed river transportation system in Shandong.

In August 1368, the Northern Expedition Ming army had captured Shandong, occupied Henan, and assembled towards Linqing, an important canal node in the Yuan Dynasty. It ended on the 8th of the same month, and "led the horse-buoyed boat division to the north", advancing both by water and land, and went north to the Yuandu.

On September 9 of the same year, with the help of the canal, the Ming army arrived at Zhigu.

Lao Zhu's Northern Expedition was able to be so fast, and it has a lot to do with Meng Yuan's dredging of the canal.

At this time, the canal also provided great convenience for the Northern Expedition, and a steady stream of supplies were sent to the front line along the canal.

After several days of sailing, there was no waves in the ancient well, and there were no short-sighted thieves who dared to come to the canal to find trouble, and Zheng Xiong was a little tired of seeing the scenery along the way, so he hid in the cabin and watched a group of people playing chess.

The bored Zheng Xiong also ended up fighting with the crowd, winning every battle and killing all sides with an invincible momentum.
