The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

The imperial court strongly supported the Ming army's entry into Tibet and completely included the Tibet region in the Ming territory.

With the support of the imperial court, and without the dismantling of the annoying officials, the governor of Sichuan Zhou Zhengru and the general soldier Yang Zhan of Chengdu are ready to go.

They each had a heart to serve the country, a heart to make contributions, and their hearts were very strong. The two vowed to each other: Even if they die, they will go to Tibet.

Zhou Zhengru said: "The imperial court ardently expects that we have been in harmony with people in time. Although there is no geographical advantage, as long as the hearts of the people are united and the mountains are moved, we will be able to succeed!"

Yang Zhan also said: "We are strong and strong, with sufficient equipment and abundant funds. Nothing can stop our success!"

Having said that, how arduous are the tasks before them, how terrible the conditions are, and how arduous and dangerous the difficulties are!

From Dajianlu to Lhasa, it took more than three thousand miles to travel. Such a long road makes it difficult to walk on flat ground, not to mention the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!

There are no avenues, only the Ancient Tea Horse Road. The so-called Tea Horse Road is the road from the caravan. It is in poor condition and is narrow and small. The road is often closed. It has to climb over a dozen uninhabited snowy mountains; there are no roads along the way. In the human area, there is no food at all. Although there are a lot of horses, donkeys and mules to help transport supplies, but it is better to save them. The task of building roads and building roads, while also fighting hostile elements, can be described as numerous difficulties and dangers!

Zhou Zhengru was in charge of logistics and road repair tasks. He didn't do anything by himself. As long as he stood there in good clothes and dressed in Da Ming's official robes, it played a great role in encouraging morale.

Lord Zhou is with us!

At that time, people like Zhou Zhengru were considered by all social strata to be "wenqu stars" who descended to the mortal world. They were immortal masters, and their status was unequal with mortals. They don't want to work, they want to be mascots.

As long as he cares about the soldiers and civilians who are working, do shows, and keep up with supplies, the key is to have the silver dollar in place. Then the army of more than one hundred and two hundred thousand will be able to move forward with a high degree of enthusiasm for work and a tenacious will to fight. In the process of building and maintaining the Sichuan-Tibet highway while marching, the road construction troops and migrant workers carried forward the heroic spirit of "Let the mountains lower their heads and let the rivers give way", and worked hard to overcome all difficulties and dangers and open the highway into Tibet. Bear the title of "Infrastructure Madness" as mentioned on today!

You can imagine the hardships and difficulties on the way into Tibet. The road they took was the polar sky. They walked through the thorny jungle and canyons, crossed dozens of icy and swift rivers, and climbed over the mountains and mountains. Snow mountain.

Due to the high mountains and deep valleys, the vertical differences in climate are obvious. There are three different vertical climates, namely, the warm temperate zone of the canyon, the temperate plateau and the cold plateau, and create a strange scene of "one mountain has four seasons and ten miles of different days".

It looks beautiful, but when you travel on these mountain roads, it is amazingly cold above the snow line, and below the snow line is damp, bringing the trouble that your clothes will never dry!

Sometimes food and fuel cannot be supplied, and everyone eats the frozen dry food, just under the snow. Diseases, snow blindness, hunger, cold, and lack of oxygen threaten the lives of soldiers and civilians entering Tibet all the time. They can be said to be walking on a thousand mountains, with antelope as their friends, lying on a grass blanket, sleeping together in the cold and full of frost in the morning.

He has to carry 80 kilograms, walk three times, eat dry food, and drink snow thirsty!

Because of the ethnic policy before departure, you must not touch the beasts and birds you see along the way, and you must not eat any fish! Because the Tibetans believe that everything is alive, the Cantonese who follow in the team have no use but only food supplies they carry. The troops at the rear are better, and the troops at the front are particularly hard-working. Sometimes they encounter Tibetans and use silver dollars to buy barley. The noodles can’t be digested after eating, and they can’t be pulled out. Many people suffer to death. Fortunately, they have tea leaves, soaked in water and drunk to quench them, so they can save their lives.

It is difficult to enter Tibet, difficult to climb to the blue sky, packhorses are frequent, not half seen, comrades-in-arms are parting, and thin is shrouded in the wasteland!

Some brothers on the march gave their precious lives!

Even so, the soldiers and civilians used hammers, steel drills, shovels, and pickaxes to split the cliffs and subdue the dangerous rivers. In the next five years, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway traversed the entire Hengduan Mountains, including Erlang Mountain, Zheduo Mountain, Queer Mountain, Sejila Mountain, and other 14 large mountains; across the Minjiang River, Dadu River, Jinsha River, Nujiang River, etc. The Lhasa River and many other rivers; across the Longmen Mountain, Qingni Cave, Lancang River, Tongmai and other 8 major fault zones, overcome various difficulties. The hugeness and difficulty of the project are unprecedented in the history of road construction in the world.

When they finished, the handsome and gentle Governor Zhou became a little old man, his hair was white and his teeth fell out!

He is like this, the others are not much better, many people describe it as haggard and can't recognize themselves.

Road construction is extremely difficult. Road construction soldiers and civilians often work on high mountains with snow and thin air throughout the year. During the day, they work in the snowy field. The cold weather and the cold wind often make the soldiers and civilians split their hands. The **** mouth, when working, the crack bleeds due to vibration, and the wound splits after healed. It is really unbearable pain!

Then, the hand froze on the tool!

Some people put on line gloves to work, but after the end of the day, the gloves were worn out, and the blood froze the gloves on their hands and became blood gloves!

In winter, the temperature is often minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, and the mountains are full of frozen soil. It is more difficult to dig frozen soil than to open rocks. Under such circumstances, the soldiers and civilians often roast the frozen soil with fire day and night, and then dig it out bit by bit; they have been working on the mountains in this way for several winters.

The road standard at that time does not seem to be high now: a three-layer pavement ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ a layer of lime, a layer of clay, and a layer of stones, which form a road after being rolled.

But there are no hooks, bulldozers and large dump trucks at all. In the complex terrain of the plateau, everything can only be done manually, carrying a hand on one's shoulder, and working hard.

At first the army and the government still talked about silver dollar rewards, but later, the soldiers and civilians braved wolf-like eyes. You don’t need to spur them, you don’t have to say silver dollars to them. They go out early and return late at night, gritted their teeth, and do not need to say a word. .

At night, the stars rise, and piles of bonfires burning by road builders, reflecting on the snow-capped mountains, make the night sky colorful!

Seen from far, far away, countless fire lights intertwined with the big dipper in the night sky. Is it fire or star? It's hard to tell...At this point, the realm has been sublimated. Seeing this situation and this scene, Governor Zhou burst into tears and wrote: "Difficulties and hardships, Yuru Yucheng!"

What supports them in their endless struggle is the news from the front lines that our army has entered Lhasa!

If the army is victorious, we must hurry up to build roads!
