That was also the estimated timing of the Juchino Line's defense against Seattle's [-]th Cavalry.

It seems that although he can't achieve the arrogance of Cixi's declaration of war against all nations, Emperor Zhu Fugui will also have a taste of the dew on the square meter at the same time.

Since the sea battles in the west are active attacks, and the land battles in the east are passive defenses, during this period of time, Ming's focus is still on the east.

No one knows when the Citi savages in Seattle will come over with a slap in the face, so we must be fully prepared.

……

On the seventh day of December in the first year of Dewu in the Ming Dynasty, February 1864, 2 in the Western calendar, there are still more than 1 days before the Spring Festival in the year of Jiazi.

Although this day was ordinary, it was the day when the first "highway" highway built by Daming was opened to traffic.

The Fengjin Line of the National Highway designed by His Majesty Zhu Fugui, the immortal great commander of the Ming Empire, a wise man who is proficient in various knowledge of science, engineering, agriculture and medicine, and the guardian of two hundred Ming people, has officially opened to traffic.

Early this morning, the south gate of Fengdu was crowded with people, and the sun and moon flags were flying high.

The specific person in charge of the Fengjin Expressway project, His Majesty Zhu Fugui's loyal executor Geng Gongbu took a pair of exaggerated scissors and cut a red ribbon across the middle of the road.

Then, with the powerful roar of the diesel engine, a water-cooled four-stroke [RD908B double drum roller] slowly drove out.

And the beloved His Majesty Zhu Fugui is personally driving the road roller towards the middle of the road to complete the final compaction of the Fengjin Line.

This road roller is small in size and looks a little bigger than a go-kart in an amusement park.

However, the total weight has reached 1.5 tons, and it can compact a width of 1 meter at one time.

Of course, like all the construction machinery purchased by Zhu Fugui, it also has a feature, that is, it is cheap.

(The cheaper and simpler the mechanical civilization consumption is, the lower the civilization consumption will be. For example, a 300 million ocean-going ship will consume more than 3 times the civilization value compared to a 100 yuan river transport ship.)

The price of this road roller platform is only 3 yuan.

However, Zhu Fugui went to Xianyu to search and bought ten second-hand cars, which added up to less than 20 yuan.

Zhu Fugui was pressing the road for the Fengjin line, of course he was putting on a show.

In fact, as early as yesterday afternoon, all roadside construction work on the Fengjin Line had been completed.

Considering that the future traffic volume between Fengdu and Xinjin may be high, the road surface of the Fengjin Line is still very thick, with a rammed earth layer of 30 cm, and every inch of the road surface has been compacted 5-7 times with a road roller.

In the process of road construction, according to the advanced experience of India, the center of the road is slightly raised, and the sides of the road are supplemented by drainage ditches to facilitate faster drainage in rainy days.

With such a well-built road, it is not a big problem to pass three or four hundred cars every day and night.

The reason why the road surface was tamped and thickened as much as possible was due to the consideration of military security on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also due to the consideration of the dual economy that would inevitably appear in the Ming Dynasty in the First Five-Year Plan.

As we all know, Tianjin was an industrial city in later generations.

Although later attempts were made to establish the transformation of the Binhai New Area, basically the results were minimal.

However, in the new Ming Empire, apart from being an important military port, Xinjin was mainly an agricultural city.

The land outside Xinjin was drafted by Zhu Fugui and approved by the whole cabinet of the Ming Dynasty with a show of hands in the "First Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty". An agricultural park of more than 150 million mu will be built to ensure food security and vegetables in Fengdu and surrounding areas. , the supply of meat, eggs and milk.

In addition to water transport, the Fengjin Line will be an important transshipment route for agricultural products.

Correspondingly, Fengdu will move towards the goal of a super-large industrial city.

As for the pollution issue, Zhu Fugui can only think about it to the best of his ability, and it is not the core issue.

After all, it is not in line with the current national conditions of Ming Dynasty to separate the administrative capital from the industrial and commercial center like Midi did.

As the road roller driven by Zhu Fugui rumbled forward, the transport convoy of the Ministry of War was filled with military supplies and headed for the Zhuqinuo line of defense.

With this expressway, Geng Junhua, who was seconded to the Ministry of War to command the engineering corps, said that it only takes a week for the Ming Dynasty to build a great defense line that cannot be broken.

Chapter 149

In the "First Five-Year Plan of Ming Dynasty", there was no plan to allocate land to citizens.

Even so, everyone's enthusiasm was still high when they heard that the road and juchino were built for growing vegetables.

According to the content of the first five-year plan, Ming Dynasty will set up a Xinjin Production and Construction Corps that will be included in the army establishment, but the treatment will be slightly lower than that of soldiers. It is estimated that the number of troops will eventually reach 500.

This corps implements a combination of divisions and vertical management based on divisions. The Ministry of War is responsible for training, and the Ministry of Households is responsible for assessment management.

From the perspective of management structure, the Production and Construction Corps is similar to the Ministry of Industry and Military Affairs responsible for training, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the assessment and management of armed workers.

However, due to the natural organization of the workers, even if they do not form a formal military organization, they can mobilize as quickly as possible when necessary, and become a reliable paramilitary organization to defend Marshal Zhu and the fruits of the new Ming Dynasty.

And farmers, especially those scattered on the vast land of Xinjin Peninsula, if they are allowed to become self-cultivated farmers or even large farmers, it will be unfavorable for organization and scheduling.

Therefore, at least in the first five-year plan, agricultural production will be completed by the Production and Construction Corps in a militarized, large-scale, and mechanized manner.

This is also a safe approach in line with the experience of later generations.

After the founding of New China, 12 production and construction corps and three agricultural construction divisions in Tibet, Guangxi, and Jiangxi were established, making important contributions to stabilizing the new regime and ensuring food production.

Until Zhu Fugui crossed in 2023, there was still a production and construction corps playing a role in the northwest of the motherland.

These are experiences that Daming can refer to.

……

Generally speaking, when the Spring Festival of the Jiazi Year is approaching, the entire Ming Dynasty is showing a trend of loosening on the outside and tightening on the inside.

When the reconnaissance troops east of the Juchino line of defense increased their patrol density, Xinfeng City finally ushered in its first new year after its completion.

Early in the morning, Emperor Dewu Zhu Fugui led a group of civil servants, generals, and relatives of the emperor, a total of 22 people, to the Daming Martyr's Shrine to lay wreaths.

What made Zhu Fugui a little speechless was that, if he didn't pay attention, the old bastard from Yijingbo had already mixed into the main hall of the Martyrs' Shrine, or the position of the temple.

Fortunately, this guy is also more sensible, instead of wearing a set of priests serving Bai Wuchang, he is wearing a simple Ge robe.

The old guy's vitality is quite strong, the hair on his forehead has grown out, tied into a bunch, and inserted with a wooden hairpin, he looks a bit like a real person.

Looking at the clear smoke surrounding the trees in the Martyr's Temple, the lush greenery, the elegant and solemn scene, Zhu Fugui had to admit that the appointment and removal of the people in the Ministry of Rites made sense.

"Long Live Lord, please move to the Wen Pavilion first, and leave the calligraphy." Yijing Boren bowed his body and stretched out his hand to lead the way.

"calligraphy?"

Zhu Fugui was taken aback, "Is there another arrangement?"

Zhao Aqian, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, introduced: "Mr. Yijing suggested that this is the first New Year of the Ming Dynasty, and it happens to be the Year of Jiazi, which is the first good year in the 60-year cycle. The emperor should summarize it based on the current year. For the prospect of the Ming Dynasty, choose a Chinese character, write it on paper, and make it known to all generations."

Zhu Fugui was dumbfounded.

Isn't this special place the annual Chinese character selection that will be held every year in Japan?

It's just that voting is not in the mood now, but let the emperor decide with one word!

Damn, this little Japanese conscience is really broken!

Zhu Fugui was very embarrassed looking at the eagerly awaited courtiers, and even Yin Susu showed curiosity.

After all, everyone has followed the emperor for so long, and they all know that today's son is a "famous poet" who publishes editorials or writes poems in every issue of "Da Ming Times", but he has never seen Zhu Fugui's calligraphy.

Since ancient times, poems and books have not been separated. If you think about it, the Long Live Lord who can write "cherish Qin Huang Han Wu, slightly loses literary talent; Tang Zong Song Zu, a little less coquettish", must have written impassioned and vigorous writing!

however……

Zhu Fugui bit the bullet and came to the Wenge, where an easel had already been prepared, with a piece of white paper about two feet wide hanging on it.

Another official from the Ministry of Rites came forward with a pen and ink and handed it to Zhu Fugui respectfully.

Holding a writing brush that looked like a big brush, Zhu Fugui's heart was trembling, hesitating and not knowing what to do.

But in the eyes of everyone, this is just the long live Lord's deliberation.

After all, this is the Chinese character of the year, and it is the Chinese character of the Jiazi year. It is the first of all good things, so it must be carefully considered.

Just as everyone was expecting, Zhu Fugui finally moved.

In line with the idea of ​​writing more and making more mistakes, writing less and making fewer mistakes, it is best to raise the board, Zhu Fugui picked up the brush and walked to the white paper, waving the brush as fast as possible.

brush!

A horizontal line was left on the white paper, and even the paper surface was slightly damaged due to excessive force.

While everyone was still stunned, Hiroto Yii clapped his hands vigorously:

"Good words! As expected of Long Live God, the road is as simple as it is, and the big tricks don't work. The simple word 'one' means the new beginning of reincarnation in the year of Jiazi, and it also shows that my great Ming starts from 'one'. Accumulated faith, seconds! Really seconds!"

Zhao Aqian also suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I didn't realize it at the beginning! It's really that the pen is so powerful that it goes straight to the back of the paper, and it made my mind go blank for a while!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

All of a sudden, the audience resounded with wonderful voices and warm applause.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites carefully collected the calligraphy of the Long Live Lord and kept it carefully.

Zhu Fugui nodded, and stretched out his hand to suppress the applause: "I just express my heart, express my heart, everyone praises me!"

"So that's the case. The old minister only realized the third level before, but your majesty is on the fifth level!"

Yijing Boren beat his chest again and said, "With the world in mind, the people as one, the country and the country as one, and the revival of our Great East Asian nation as one, the old minister is over half a hundred years old, but he can meet the Ming Lord, really dead And no regrets!"

After finishing speaking, Iihiro bowed to the ground and said long live.

Everyone also once again praised Long Live's benevolence, and for a while the Wen Pavilion was filled with a harmonious atmosphere of humility and humility.

……

After the episode of Wenge mentioning ink, Zhu Fugui led the crowd to lay a wreath at the Monument to the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

God is not very beautiful, there is no light rain or snow in real time, but the sun is shining and there is no cloud in the sky.

This made Zhu Fugui's wish to learn Comrade Vladimir's offering flowers in the rain and leave a photo in vain. He could only present three white daisies to the martyrs amid the hoarse mourning sound of the second-hand radio.

Today, on the Monument to the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty, apart from the names of those who fought against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty and Shi Dakai, the only one who was not from the Ming Dynasty, there are more than a dozen names of Chinese workers and Yin people who died in the two wars and military training.

It is foreseeable that in the future, there will be more and more names on this monument.

This is an unavoidable sacrifice, but Zhu Fugui hopes that their incense will continue and their heroic spirits will last forever.

Chapter 150 The Echo of the Valley?

In this era, the Spring Festival is the New Year's Day, and the New Year's Day is the Spring Festival. The Chinese do not have the habit of having a holiday on January 1 in the Western calendar.

Therefore, New Year's Eve is very important to every Chinese.

However, on days like this, Mo Bai, Chief Qian of the Third Regiment of the First Town of the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty, and hundreds of soldiers under him could not return to Fengdu for the new year.

Because they had to keep the darkness out of the sight of the people of Daming.

Due to the Civil War, the U.S. regular army is basically unable to look westward, but more and more civilian forces have lost property due to the war and are ready to take risks, or choose to come to the West to find the "American Dream" because of the Lincoln Act.

The task of Mo Bai and others is to prevent them from going west as much as possible, and take them captive to the mine for labor reform.

See you one after another, and now there are more than 3000 white slaves in the Plash Mine.

In the end, Zhu Fugui was more soft-hearted, and ensured the basic medicine and living security of these white slaves. So far, only a few people died of exhaustion, and it was all because of their own basic reasons.

These white slaves worked hard for the winter heating in Fengdu and Xinjin, trying to reform themselves and start a new life.

……

Winters in the greater Seattle area aren't exactly frigid, but February nights can still easily dip several degrees below freezing.

In such weather, it was impossible for the caravan of white immigrants to move. The soldiers of the third regiment were finally able to finish their day's hard work and settle down in the temporary camp on the No. 004 plateau.

"Mr. Qian, this cotton coat is really warm! It's just not as stylish as the woolen trench coat!"

A little soldier, or a little soldier who was a year older than Mo Bai, was wiping his nose while waiting for the water to boil.

"Go and go, it's in the wilderness, and there is no wife. Why do you want to look so good-looking! These big cotton jackets are the highest quality Egyptian long-staple cotton, produced in Virginia, so they are warm!"

Mo Bai curled his lips, despising this ignorant guy. It is said that these high-quality cottons are all picked by hand, without a single fiber being damaged, and they are specially assigned to the front line by Long Live God.

"That's right, boss!"

The despised little soldier didn't take it seriously, he had only been in Daming for three months, and everything he saw was new, "I heard that when you and Director Xia came to our Daming, there was a grand party, I don't know Will there be tonight?"

"That's for sure."

Mo Bai nodded, and couldn't help but think of the grand event he saw when he first came to Daming more than half a year ago.

At that grand event, Mo Bai saw the cool beam of light for the first time, saw a model play for the first time, saw the torture tools of Geng Gongbu for the first time, and learned to dance the Zhuzi dance for the first time... …

It was a great night...

"Boss, boss, tell us, what is a party!"
