Daming Military Empire

Chapter 581

Qin Gongming was sitting on the southbound train, looking out the window unconsciously. The scenery of the Siberian Plain flashed slowly like pictures, but what he thought of was the capital city and the Forbidden City.

The sweet-scented osmanthus in Zhongzhenhou's Mansion in the capital should be in bloom, and I don't know how my aunt and younger brother are doing; is the Kunning Palace in the Forbidden City still as lively as last year, and I don't know how my younger sister and cute little nephew are doing. Thinking of the chubby little face of the eldest prince Zhu Hedun, a rare smile appeared on his handsome face.

He was on a special train leading to Rem City, and there was more than one special train. Behind the passenger car he was on, there were 20 freight cars. After the Ning army took over the defense of the middle reaches of the Yeni River, they boarded the Fuchuan battleship of the Daming Royal Shipping Company, went upstream, and arrived at No.

The water and land routes before and after this add up to a total distance of nearly two thousand miles, and it will arrive in less than three days. It has to be said that the current transportation capacity of the Ming army is quite terrifying. A month or so will never arrive.

Not long after, Rem City was already in sight. Qin Gongming withdrew his thoughts, stood up, tidied up his military uniform, and then said in a loud voice: "Command, everyone gather and prepare to get off."

Several personal guards immediately got up and ran to each carriage. Soon, the soldiers of each carriage began to gather in the aisle, lined up one row after another, ready to get off.

At this time, there were no regular trains in the Western Regions and Siberia, and Zhang Pu's Ministry of Transportation could not manage the railways in the war zone. Therefore, the special train of the Dingliao Army went directly to the train station in Rem City without waiting.

This is the junction of the Western Regions and Siberia, and it is also the base camp for the transfer of food, grass and supplies for the two southeastern armies of the Ming Army. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War jointly designed and built a large transfer station here. The railways in the transfer station are densely packed like spider webs. Generally, there are no less than a hundred freight trains!

Qin Gongming's bus slowly drove into a platform, which was also full of Ming soldiers at this time. As soon as he got off the bus, two generals in general uniforms greeted him and gave a standard military salute. Then he said loudly: "The last general Zu Dabi (Hou Gongji) sees General Qin."

These two men are Zu Dabi, the commander of the Third Army Corps of the Frontier Defense Army and Hou Gongji, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps of the Border Defense Army stationed in Rem City. They are the chief generals of the legion, while Qin Gongming is the second-class chief general of the first rank, and more importantly, Qin Gongming is the eldest brother of the current empress, an authentic relative of the emperor, so both of them respect Qin Gongming very much.

Qin Gongming didn't put on airs, he returned a standard military salute, and then said cordially: "General Zu, General Hou, you are welcome, everyone is the leader of the army, and they should be regarded as equals, what about the last general and the last general?" , it’s time to divide.”

Zu Dabi still had a bit of a foolish character, he just stood there giggling, Hou Gongji hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "General Qin, you are polite, you are a veteran of the Ming Dynasty, we are juniors, how dare we compare with you."

Qin Gongming waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't dare to be, dare not be, Qin doesn't dare to be called a veteran of the Ming Dynasty, well, let's not talk about this, the two generals, did the captives come? Let's hand over quickly. "

Hou Gongji hastily cupped his hands and said: "The captives are here, but now it's meal time, and we have prepared a light meal. Will General Qin sit down and have a meal before leaving?"

Qin Gongming shook his head and said: "Thanks to the two generals for their kindness, the emperor is in a hurry, Qin really dare not stay for a long time, and please ask the two generals to send all the food, we can eat in the car."

When Hou Gongji heard this, he could only cup his hands and said: "Since General Qin is in charge, the last general will not force it. I hope to have a chance to have a few drinks with General Qin next time. I will arrange the handover later."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Zu Dabi, and the two began to arrange their own guards to deliver the order. Soon, the border guards escorted teams of prisoners into the station.

At this time, the soldiers of the Dingliao Army had already got off the original trucks and lined up next to the trucks. After they went to take over, they put the groups of prisoners on the nearby freight trains, and the soldiers of the border guards also packed them separately. Meals are distributed to the trains one by one.

Since they were going to build a new city, the soldiers of the Dingliao Army did not carry artillery, so the speed of boarding the vehicles was extremely fast. With the cooperation of the two, one vehicle after another was quickly filled.

In this way, trains full of soldiers and captives of the Dingliao Army left the station one by one, while Qin Gongming, Hou Gongji and Zu Dabi sat at the desks that had been prepared on the platform and sent their subordinates over. After carefully checking the documents, sign them one by one. This may involve 20 captives.

The transshipment of 30 people is no small matter. Fortunately, there are enough special freight trains mobilized by the Ministry of War, and most of them are full of food and grass, and return empty. On the floor, this is nothing to the soldiers who have been fighting abroad all year round. As for the prisoners, it is nothing to say.

The freight train arranged for the Liao Army this time is a total of one hundred new-type freight cars with twenty carriages, and each carriage has an average of fifty soldiers and one hundred prisoners of the Dingliao Army. The place is very spacious, you know Even a passenger car can accommodate more than 200 people in one compartment, and if a truck is forced to pack, 300 people in one compartment is not a problem.

After working for about two hours, all one hundred trucks finally left the station. Qin Gongming immediately bid farewell to Hou Gongji and Zu Dabi, boarded the only bus with his personal guards, and followed behind the trucks of the brigade. Go to the capital.

It is about 3000 miles from Rem City to the capital. In order to save time, the Ministry of Transportation has adjusted the frequency of civilian trains along the line early on, giving way to the railway and giving priority to special trains. The Ministry of War also arranged for commanders and envoys to prepare meals early Well, once the special train passes by, they will be sent to the car quickly, so as to avoid the trouble of the Dingliao army getting out of the car and burying the pot for cooking. You know, there is no way to cook on the truck.

In this way, after six days and six nights of non-stop operation, the special trains finally arrived in the capital one after another. At this time, the chief general of the First Army Corps of the Imperial Guard, Zhongzhen Hou Qin Liangyu had already led his little nephew Qin Weiming to wait in the large transfer station on the west side of the capital. Even the empress Qin Mingyue came secretly to see her elder brother in a sedan chair with the eldest prince Zhu Hejiu under the guard of Dongchang masters.

The reunion of long-lost relatives is naturally lively, so I will skip it here.

Now that the Dingliao army has escorted the prisoners back to Beijing, the army training base in the northwest of the capital can finally start construction, and the Army Officer Academy will also start construction at the same time. What arrangements will the Ministry of War have in the future?After this chapter, please see the next chapter for decomposition.
