"Level 5 hangs for 10 days, and rewards 3 Type 27 grenade launchers (including ammunition), 100 kilometers of railway tracks, 2 railway engineers, 100,000 packs of compressed biscuits, and 10 biochemical soldiers."
Rail set: including rails, sleepers, ballast, etc.
Note: This set can be installed for 100 kilometers (two-way)
When Zhu Youjian thinks of railway tracks, the first thing he thinks of is the railway network that will spread all over the country in later generations.
Although we have often complained about congestion during New Years and holidays, it is undeniable that railways have important economic, political and military significance for the input and output of resources and materials.
Railways were also the most effective tool for strengthening control and protecting territory.
Of course, Zhu Youjian had been looking forward to such an effective artifact.
In the past, due to the output and quality of Daming's iron, he could only put his railway dream on the back burner. Now that he has the rail set, Zhu Youjian will naturally be very happy.
However, currently only 100 kilometers of two-way railway can be built, which immediately gave Zhu Youjian a headache. He didn't know where to build it first.
"Come to Zhu Dingguo."
For the current Ming Dynasty, solving the problem of slavery, recovering Liaodong, and North Korea are the most important tasks.
In this way, Zhu Youjian had to consider Zhu Dingguo's opinions.
Because Zhu Dingguo was in the military camp, quite far away, and would not be able to come back in a short time, so Zhu Youjian had to extract the two railway engineers first and ask them what they needed.
"G-01 meets the master."
"G-02 meets the master."
There was a flash of white light, and two middle-aged men in blue uniforms appeared in front of Zhu Youjian.
"Without courtesy, from now on, you are Zhu Tie and you are Zhu Huo.
The two of you will be responsible for the next Daming Railway plan.
Although Daming is just an agricultural country now and does not even have a factory, there is no shortage of people. In addition to building railways, what you have to do is to train enough railway installation workers to install the next Daming Railway. Reserve enough talents. "
"As you command, Master"
.....
"Your Majesty, if the distance is only 100 kilometers, I suggest building it directly from the capital to Tianjin."
"Why, tell me your reasons."
Although Zhu Youjian also considered repairing from Beijing to Tianjin, Zhu Youjian preferred to repair in the direction of Shaanxi.
"Your Majesty, although the railway track is only 100 kilometers (two-way), we can build it into a single track first. In this way, we can build it directly from the capital to the Tianjin Pier.
With the road from Tianjin to the capital, the southern tax revenue can be transported by sea. After being transported to Tianjin, it can be taken directly from Tianjin to the capital by rail.
As a result, the cost of transportation taxes can be greatly reduced.
2. In the future, more sailors can be trained for Ming Dynasty.
3. In the future, the power of Cao State in the south can be greatly reduced.
4. In the future, the imperial court's control over coastal cities can be greatly enhanced.
…….
Listening to Zhu Dingguoguo's analysis, Zhu Youjian was tempted.
I can't wait to build the railway immediately.
But Zhu Youjian knew clearly that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
If you don’t have workers, you need equipment.
I can't get up quickly even if I want to.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of people in the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the drought in Shaanxi, it is not a problem to recruit tens of thousands of people.
After discussion among Zhu Youjian, Zhu Dingguo, Zhu Tie, and Zhu Huo, it was finally decided that the first railway of the Ming Dynasty would be built directly on the official road.
First, the work difficulty is relatively low. Although the official road from Beijing to Tianjin looks bumpy on the surface and is in urgent need of repair, the foundation of the official road is still there. Can greatly increase the difficulty of building railways
Secondly, it was built directly on the official road to facilitate the transportation of materials.
Thirdly, with the official road as the line, construction can be started in multiple places at the same time, which can greatly shorten the time for railway construction.
Just do what you say, under Zhu Youjian's will.
In just three days, 10,000 young men from the emperor's 26 guards were gathered in the capital.
At the same time, Huang Jin, who was still busy in Xi'an, also received Zhu Youjian's order and directly removed 50,000 young men and marched towards the capital in batches under the escort of the army.
....
Outside Yulin City.
Lin Lue, the leader of the Ordos tribe, and Gugu, the leader of the Tumut tribe, are constantly commanding the army to attack Yulin City.
Since the Ming Dynasty entered a state of war preparation, it has directly cut off the transactions between the grassland tribes.
In addition, the grassland has also suffered from drought this year, and the Ordos tribe and the Tumut tribe are living a very tense life.
After hearing that the Ming Dynasty mobilized elites to go to Liaodong, Lin Lue and the leader Gu Gu each made a decision to invade the Ming Dynasty.
As expected by the two of them, the Ming Dynasty's border defenses were indeed empty, and it took less than 5 days to easily reach the gates of Yulin City.
But what puzzled the two people was that the people of Ming Dynasty ran so fast. Along the way, except for those fortresses that looked particularly difficult to crack, I didn't see a single Akito.
Fortunately, a Ming Dynasty businessman was arrested after the detention. From the merchant's mouth, he learned that after Yulin's new commander-in-chief took office, in order to prevent aliens from seizing the border, he ordered that each household could only keep food for 7 days, and the rest must be Save it to Yulin City.
At the front end, Yulin had just taken away 20,000 elite troops.
After getting the news, the two of them left some people to watch the fortresses that were difficult to defeat, and the two of them led the main force straight to Yulin City.
When we arrived at Yulin City, it was already dark.
In order to attack the city the next day, the two of them set up camp five miles outside the city.
In order to prevent the Ming people from stealing the camp, the two put down a large number of scouts in the direction of Yulin City. Unexpectedly, the Ming people were treacherous and actually sent 500 cavalry to directly attack the supply camp from behind.
Although a lot of baggage was lost, the two of them were distressed.
But the news they got from the captured Ming army made the two of them wipe away the worries of the previous attack.
It turned out that in order to prevent the prairie tribes from detaining the people, the trusted Yulin General Soldier sent out the elites and then directly let the people enter Yulin City to take shelter.
After the invasion of the grassland tribes, the Yulin General Soldier directly ordered the city to be sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
In order to ensure that there is no trouble in Yulin City. The new commander-in-chief directly disclosed Yulin City’s food reserves.
We even took some people to visit the grain warehouse
Although this soldier doesn't know how many soldiers and horses there are in Yulin City, he still knows about Yulin City's 800,000 stone grain reserves.
Under the temptation of huge benefits, the two launched a tentative attack on Yulin the next day.
As expected, as the two expected, although there were many young men in Yulin City, the actual defenders were only more than 3,000 people.
Although these people have sharp weapons, they are not enough to defend the entire Yulin. However, in order to avoid heavy losses for their own tribes, both tribes are now making constant tentative attacks.
