On this forced march from Lianzhou back to Guangzhou, Zhou Huaian and the several battalions under his command only spent about a day and night less than before, and they have already seen the outline of the gray-brown city walls of Guangzhou and the shadow of the sails on the Xiaojiang River. .
This aspect is the improvement of traffic conditions, vehicles, and pack animals. The Rebels currently have several newly repaired hardened arterial roads across the Pearl River Basin, muddy gravel roads, and relatively sufficient large stockpiles;
On the other hand, after several harvests, the initial establishment of the reserve and transfer system of the villages and counties, so that during the forced march with less rest intervals, there is no need to carry more things like in the enemy's territory; and Just send a quick horse with the list to the nearest transfer.
After arriving at a place first, the people gathered in the nearby village also delivered the corresponding materials to the designated places and locations, and began to assist in the repair of temporary residences and camps for a fee; so when the brigade also arrived, As long as a simple team formation and assignment can be free from most of the work, almost seamless connection to get more repair and supplement time.
In the same way, this method has little nuisance to the local area, and there is almost no pain of expropriation. As for the labor from the farms of the farms, they are also paid. Based on a labor group consisting of three to five people at the lowest level, according to the distance and the needs of the season, for every one thousand catties of grain delivered, they can get the corresponding compensation based on grain and cloth according to different proportions of vouchers in return. .
In fact, when Zhou Huai'an arrived at Yangshan Pass, which was rebuilt in Yangshan County, he found that the local semaphore signal tower with optical transmission had been completed. This is an important invention that supported the later generations of Napoleonic cranes to hit most of the European territory. It is also quite useful in the mountainous and densely hilly terrain of Lingnan.
Especially with the traditional fast horse transmission and the newly domesticated pigeon transmission, it is enough to make up for most of the shortcomings and deficiencies in the transmission of information, and the efficiency of transmission has always been at the forefront of this era. It is a pity that the content that the optical semaphore can transmit is still too simple, and can only be used for military purposes such as transmitting passwords and warning messages.
Perhaps after accumulating a certain amount and the scale of the double line, it can enter the daily civilian field as described in the famous inspirational revenge novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" and use it as a means of speculating on public debt.
When compared with the soldiers, they shared the joys and sorrows of riding in the mountains, grinding the inner skin of the thighs back several layers. The return journey is relatively easy and free, even for this reason, the mountain performance test is the name of the special purpose. An experimental four-wheeled carriage was sent from Canton.
The large rubber wheels covered with iron hoops and the bridge-shaped low-quality spring steel forged with wrought iron and steel sheets constitute the most critical technical content of this experimental four-wheeled carriage. Of course, as all details are as perfect as possible for the prototype, the corresponding cost is quite high; the cost of this car is worth two hundred new riverboats.
The rubber comes from a simple vulcanized eucommia gum, and it is also a natural rubber substitute used by the Soviet Union during World War II when the material was scarce; the so-called low-quality spring steel is only for the service life of the vehicle under high strength; a single spring steel sheet It is more than enough to make a special crossbow arm.
After these two key components can be mass-produced, more seriously shrunken and simplified four-wheel carts, and various extended variants, can begin to be considered for promotion and popularization in the military; anyway, military use The basic requirements of the product are simple, cheap, durable and easy to maintain. As for comfort, precision and comprehensive functions, it is no longer considered. Soldiers of the entire era are not so precious and delicate.
Then, on the basis of transportation vehicles, continue to be improved into a variety of camping vehicles, cooking vehicles, medical vehicles, equipment maintenance vehicles, tool vehicles, defense vehicles, sentry vehicles, etc., which accompany the movement of the army. Of course, Zhou Huaian is only looking forward to a long way to go.
In fact, among the tens of thousands of troops he has expanded under his command, only about a dozen more senior old battalions can achieve cattle and horse transportation and special transportation; among them, a relatively single management of mules and horses can be achieved. There are only the first five old camps, plus a few small direct subordinate sequences.
Among them, they were relatively pure cavalry, and they were nothing more than a dissatisfied former battalion; the other former two battalions and the first three battalions were all made up of riding pawns accompanied by donkeys and mules.
Nevertheless, after Zhou Huai'an arrived outside Guangzhou, there were already several other battalions of new soldiers ready to go in the barracks, and they could start their journey again with a little adjustment in personnel.
. . . . . .
At the same time, in the back home of the Guangzhou left-behind Secretary, there is another gentle scene of daily feeding.
"Taste this calamus, the latest malt froth... Is it delicious and sweet just to eat dry?"
Cheongna, who is holding a silver spoon and smiling beautifully, is feeding the girls one by one with her new crafts.
"It can also be made into soup and jelly with chicken and milk..."
And the bear wolf dog, who wags its tail desperately like a real dog, is also rolling back and forth under the feet between the two, hoping for something to fall.
"The bad guy hasn't come back... he's obviously out of the city."
Little Changpu suddenly said quietly.
"Yes, but Lang Jun is too busy..."
However, Qing Luo was taken aback for a moment before she smiled and relieved.
"Now there are hundreds of thousands of registered permanent residences under the rule, and there are so many people's livelihoods and the future of the people of Li Shu. It is reasonable that you can't get out of your body repeatedly."
At this time, a voice sounded like a blessed soul.
"Everyone is fine..."
However, the familiar follower Xiaoqi personally delivered the things in, and said in a serious tone without squinting.
"Guantou occasionally feels it during the trip, and has made a few new poems, and I would like to invite everyone in the house to appreciate it..."
"Who cares about his poems..."
Xiao Changpu's mind was like a summer rain that was uncertain; I saw her with disdain and anger on her face, and her little hand came over involuntarily.
"What I want is the follow-up script of "The Family of Gold Powder" and "Legend of Stone"..."
"In response to the little lady, the boss said that these two excerpts are just accidental, and many of the words on the market are also very high and widowed, and it is difficult for scholars to appreciate the niche things..."
Xiao Qi replied in a low voice without raising her head.
"So... So we have to wait some time... Please first sort out the few stories about the world before you tell me..."
"This bad embryo knows that it hooks up people's addictions, and they can't hang them... How can people survive?"
Little Changpu couldn't help complaining loudly.
"Wan'er speak carefully..."
The skeleton spirit who has no sense of existence by the side shouted a little bit painfully;
"As a decent daughter's family, how can I say such things..."
At this moment, she felt more resentment and sorrow in her heart. Seeing that her good daughter's family was at a dumbfounded age, she could not help but be touched by his filthy words.
And Qing Luo also seemed to think of some shame and strange things, her flawless face was flushed red in an instant, and some heat from her forehead evaporated from her forehead, and she didn't know what kind of situation the brain had made up for.
But after a while, she still took out her musical instrument to tune the strings with a certain joyful mood, and sang the new song "Like a Dream" (by Li Qingzhao), which was specially brought back:
"It was rainy and windy last night,
Deep sleep can't eliminate residual wine.
Try the questionnaire,
But Begonia remained the same.
Do you know
It should be green, fat, red and thin. "
"Life is like a flower in March, and I will read it all my life. It's like flying flowers and scattered like smoke, and I don't know the age when I'm drunk." (See "Nalan Ci")
After everything calmed down again, as he lightly read the familiar words on the poem, Xiao Changpu's expression became lonely and sparse again.
"Sister...Aren't the most men in this world, after having fame and power, are so light farewell..."
This was the case with her former father and brother, and so is this man who makes people unable to see through; at this moment, she looked at the tender green shoots of the kapok tree in the courtyard, but in her heart she remembered a poem that had been sung in her boudoir for a long time, "Suddenly See Mo The color of the willows on the head, regrets that the husband-in-law is looking for the title."
Then I couldn’t help but scream in my heart, "Bah, baah, baah"; this wicked person, in addition to bullying himself in a variety of ways, has that point. It can be compared with the genus of those loyal, virtuous and good ministers in history. .
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but move her cute little nose and mutter to herself:
"He is just a demon, an old monster who has grown into a spirit for a long time... How else would he know these knowledge and principles that have been for many generations"
"No matter what that person is, whether it is a monster, a monster or a demon..."
The skeleton spirit was a little touched and resolutely indignant again.
"Wan'er, even if you fall into the hell of Abi forever, A sister will accompany you down..."
