Seeing Er Lengzi's reply, Yang Fan felt relieved. In another half month, these cars and tanks would be sent to the new city.
Originally, this winter in history, the slave society invaded on a large scale. But until now there has been no movement.
I don’t know if Yang Fan disturbed history and caused deviations. After all, in the original history, Lin Dan Khan's perverse actions and massacre and plunder of Monan Mongolia once again strengthened the influence of the Chahar tribe. At the same time, the capture of young male and female slaves and millions of livestock greatly strengthened the influence of the Chahar tribe. Hal's strength.
This gave him a valuable replenishment of the strength he had lost in the long-term melee with Jiannu. However, this also accelerated Monan Mongolia and his alienation.
Later, Monan Mongolia was wiped out by Yang Fan who suddenly appeared. The Mongolians were all gathered by Yang Fan into the areas with the best water and grass, and settled down for animal husbandry.
Even grass cultivation began. Yang Fan introduced new fine-wool sheep and Arabian horses, Don horses, and Marwari horses, and began to crossbreed them with local Mongolian horses.
Yang Fan is trying to breed a new war horse that has the advantages of both sides, is resistant to rough feeding, and can adapt to extremely cold climates. In this way, a large area of southern Mongolia became a no man's land.
Huang Taiji hated him so much. Originally, after Lin Dan Khan committed evil deeds, Taiji and Tabu Nang from various tribes in Monan wrote to Shenyang one after another, expressing their willingness to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
This time, Yang Fan eliminated them all. Monan was completely empty. It has become a no-man's land, where beasts are now erupting.
In less than two years, birds and beasts were everywhere. It can be seen that humans are the biggest pest on the earth.
Without human damage, the natural environment will automatically repair itself. In this era, no man's land is very scary.
Humans are social animals and cannot survive alone. As the army sets off, it needs supplies along the way. Previously, Huang Taiji placed his hope on Tabu Nang in the Shannan tribes to provide him with supplies.
It's all ruined now. If you go to war with military rations, you will take great risks. One is that they are in a famine and don't have so much food.
If there was enough food, why would Huang Taiji detour to Mongolia to attack the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty? Isn't it because he was forced to go to the south to rob due to famine and extreme lack of supplies?
Because if he didn't take any action, the Eight Banners would rebel against him. If the alpha wolf cannot lead the hunt, a new alpha wolf will appear in the pack.
Therefore, historically, what should have been planned two months ago was delayed for two months. During this time, he was collecting cattle and sheep.
He planned to drive cattle and sheep to the Great Wall. Along the way, cattle and sheep were slaughtered and eaten. Once you get to the Great Wall, you can rob.
As for the fact that the Donglin Party stole the fruits of victory from Dingyuan Bo Yang Fan and forcibly separated the eastern half of Monan Mongolia and established the Rehe Province, Huang Taiji did not take it seriously at all.
He knew very well the behavior of those scholars in Donglin. The only one known as Sun Dishi who knows how to fight can only build walls.
In field battles or something like that, Xiong Tingbi, who is known as the first nine players, can beat him by eight blocks. In his opinion, the defense line that starts from Jinzhou in the north, passes through Tongliao and reaches the southern boundary of Chahar is a joke.
The Ming Dynasty spent a year to abolish six border towns, eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and transfer 200,000 elite soldiers to this defense line to build beacons, fire road piers, forts, border walls, and trenches.
In an attempt to unite with the Chahar people to seal Dai Jin in Liaodong. However, Huang Taiji didn't look down on these miscellaneous fish at all.
Although he also heard that the Western Army still has some fighting capabilities. Now, he is almost fully prepared. The cattle and sheep he currently has in stock are enough for an army of 250,000 to feed the Great Wall.
In view of the changes in the situation, Huang Taiji began to consider strengthening the cohesion of Jianzhou. He planned to transform the Eight Banners from a military and production organization into a nation.
This strengthens cohesion. It is not easy for them to get to where they are today, because they cannot afford to lose even once when facing a big country like Ming Dynasty with a population of 20 million.
Especially in this difficult time, it is even more important to be angry but not vented. He is thinking about a clan name to change the current situation of fragmentation and change the essence of being brought together by the benefits of robbery.
While Huang Taiji was struggling, Yang Fan's brigade finally entered Shuangcheng City. This city is not big either, with a length and width of one kilometer.
Exactly one square kilometer, about the same size as the Forbidden City. There is only one layer of city wall, which is still made of giant wood one meter in diameter.
The wood is coated with asphalt, mainly to prevent corrosion. After all, it was rushed out of the city, and the wood was dried in a drying house and then burned black to prevent rot.
The asphalt is applied to prevent insects and also blocks groundwater from soaking. In the Northeast, the forest coverage rate is high and the groundwater is very rich. If you dig two or three meters down, you will definitely find water.
Yang Fan and his party entered the city from the south gate. Xiao Niangpi and the others looked curiously at this wooden city that seemed to be built with large sleepers.
The ground in the city is just a three-piece earth surface made of lime, sand, and clay, which is flattened with huge stone rollers.
Pretty solid and durable. The sewer system in the city is made of masonry and has good drainage.
"Master, look, the houses here are all prefabricated wooden houses." Xiao Niangpi said looking out the window. After all, the wooden components assembled in this wooden house have achieved standardization and assembly line production.
One is that the price has dropped. Another is that the output is getting larger and larger. Especially after the establishment of the Wood Industry Group in Vladivostok, the production of such components suddenly started.
After all, as long as a piece of land is hardened with cement and the sewer pipes are laid. In three or four days, a small building with two or three floors was assembled.
It can be used for thirty or forty years without any problem. These woods are dried and treated with fireproofing. One is that the wood has been soaked in quicklime solution, and the other is that it has been soaked in anti-flame retardant solution.
Fire resistance is also pretty good. Nowadays, such wooden houses are in great demand. When Yang Fan's forces occupy a place, they will assemble this kind of wooden house locally as long as they plan to live there for a period of time.
If you want to leave, you can dismantle it and transport the wooden components to another place for reconstruction. Extremely convenient.
And the cost is low. Because wood is not valuable in this era. Southern mahogany, yellow rosewood, and rosewood may be valuable.
But hardwoods such as pine, beech, catalpa, and even ash from the Northeast are really worthless. As long as it is harvested, it is completely enough to make this kind of wooden house.
Currently, the most profitable trade between Vladivostok and the mainland of Ming Dynasty is the establishment of a wooden house component factory.
Not only Yang Fan's navy and army need it. Yang Fan's workers, domestic slaves, and tenants also need it. Yang Fan did not collect land rent, but only required his subjects to assume military vassal obligations.
So these people save money. According to the old Chinese tradition, when a person becomes developed and wealthy, the first thing to do is to buy land and build a house.
They found that it didn't cost much to harden a patch of ground. Then just install this kind of wooden house directly, which saves money and is fast.
It is also comfortable to live in, much better than adobe houses or even brick houses.
