Chapter 210 208, Red Dragon

Woo——

Woo————

The low horn trombone sounded.

In front of the two armies.

It took almost two months for the Liaodong Army to reach the Hulunbuir Grassland.

And the first time I got there.

The Wuhuan militia and two thousand Huben troops gave them a big surprise.

surprise attack.

One party was marching for a long distance, and the men and horses were exhausted.

One side recharges its energy and waits for a long time.

It turns out that a surprise attack doesn't take much.

The Liaodong Army collapsed and lost 4,200 troops.

In the past two months, Wang Li had been explaining to the Liaodong Army about the exercises. When the attack came eastward, the Liaodong Army's losses would be even more serious.

That is not the reason why Zhang Qi asked Wang Li to lead the Liaodong Army on foot.

People can control the horse, but the horse cannot. If the horse is frightened, then the number of people will really be reduced.

After the surprise attack, the Wuhuan militia and the Huben army fled.

That's a common fighting method used by the Huns. After a blow, they immediately run away and wait for the opportunity to strike again.

Wang Li's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

The Liaodong Army does not reject new recruits.

Before he took charge, those sergeants had more or less two or three years of military experience, and after he took charge, they spent a year training and improving military discipline. Unexpectedly, a surprise attack completely dispersed those soldiers.

Lose.

When the inventory was carried out afterwards, there were more than a thousand people in the red-stained port, which means that 3,000 soldiers out of the 4,200 soldiers lost that time were all escaped.

Either defeat the troops or injure the troops!

That day, the garrison camp was beaten with military sticks for a whole day.

Regardless of whether the generals or commanders are against those defeated troops.

Subsequently, the more than 3,000 people and the soldiers with red marks who were treated as sacrifices were sent to the wounded camp. According to the regulations of the exercise, they were not allowed to appear in the future.

It took three months to repair the original place.

Early in the morning.

Wang Li ordered his troops and horses.

"I would like to emphasize again that those who flinch before the battle will be dealt with according to law!"

"The whole army is ready! Attack!"

The Liaodong Army defeated the elite infantry army prepared by Zhang Qi.

For the Xiongnu, they played little role. If the main purpose was not fulfilled, they would not be able to resist the Han Dynasty.

So Wang Li and Liu Ze discussed it and the two sides set up battle formations and fought with legions.

Send messages through flying pigeons.

Although Zhang Qi didn't come there, he knew exactly what happened there.

Duwei Mansion.

"The fight started."

Zhang Qi looked at the small letters on his leg and smiled, then handed it to Hongxing.

"Guess who wins?"

Without any hesitation, Hongxing said directly: "The Tiger and Ben army can win. They all came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. With the cooperation of the Wuhuan militia, it is no problem to defeat General Dong Wang's 20,000 troops."

Zhang Qi nodded noncommittally, but also said: "Don't underestimate the Liaodong Army. They used to guard the border. The Han Dynasty's army was not bad. The reason why the Huns suffered repeated setbacks is because the Huns never

Don’t confront them head-on.”

"Don't forget, when it comes to fighting, only those who came out of the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, and Pre-Qin Dynasty are the experts."

"If you are right, then who do you think can win?"

Hongxing tilted her head and asked. She was busy writing the letter Zhang Qi asked her to write.

"Hahaha, of course there is no Tiger Army! Zhang Qi's elites are not comparable to the Xiongnu?!"

Hongxing's mouth twitched.

That doesn't mean I didn't say anything.

"Wrong, how are the preparations for the mutual market in Wuhuan?"

"It's almost done. The Acting City Lord and the others have already made plans for the acquisition of Wongyu Cattle and Sheep. It just depends on the situation on General Hu's side."

"Judging from the letter sent back by General Hu, there are more than twenty small tribes in the grassland that have attached themselves to him, and a trade agreement has been reached with Dingling in the north. They can bring back some things from the Western Regions in exchange for food and grass.

"

Zhang Qi nodded: "That's good. It seems that Hu Shui made a good move and the grassland no longer poses a threat."

"How is Shanhaiguan going?"

Zhang Qi asked again.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand workers have been working moonlit and night, and now three-quarters of the construction has been completed. Only the 26-mile city wall section along the coast is still unfinished."

Zhang Qi nodded. The Shanhaiguan Pass he built was much grander than the Mingshan Pass. Its total length exceeds 60 kilometers, with Yanran Mountain to the north and the Yellow Sea to the south.

It would be unfair to say whether the Great Wall is being built or not.

It has been almost two years now. Whether the path that Zhang Qiming pioneered later is almost completed depends entirely on 23 workers and a brand-new building material, concrete.

As for whether to speed up the construction of Shanhaiguan, for example, seventeen cement workshops have been built in Liaodong, which has also brought many livelihood jobs to the people of Liaodong.

Of course, compulsory schools have also taken root in Liaoning.

Zhang Qi knew that the progress of human beings cannot be the progress of industry, and the progress of industry depends on the level of education.

Therefore, infrastructure and education are not top priorities for Zhang Qi.

The school provides room and board, so the people of Liaodong can voluntarily send half of their family members to study.

I want to know whether in ancient times, all the children in the family worked hard. Generally, no one was willing to send out the family's labor except for splitting up the family.

Now, having the guarantee of food and lodging means that the family can save one or several rations, which is very attractive to families with half-grown children who cannot work.

Within half a year of its opening, the school had already enrolled over 10,000 students, and many places were unable to send their children because they were too far away.

After leaving school, Zhang Qi also made great progress in civil engineering in Liaodong in those two years.

Reservoirs and roads are everywhere in Liaodong.

At that time, most of the Liao region, including the Northeast, had large swamps.

The main purpose of the newly built reservoir is firstly to store water in the fields to avoid drought, and secondly to divert water from the swamp to expand livable land or acres.

Facts have proved that the construction of the reservoir is very effective. With artificial water diversion, many small swamps have now exposed dark land.

Although it is a bit slow, it may be a good way to improve the land.

Of course, it goes without saying much about the roads.

During the Han Dynasty, the original straight roads were widened, branched, connected to villages, or villages were moved directly to the periphery of the reservoir.

The accelerated circulation of materials is equivalent to accelerated exchanges between villages, and the economy will naturally accelerate.

Because of the birth of the red dragon, red silver has begun to be used as a royal coin in the grasslands and border counties. It has been almost a year since Zhang Qi made the red dragon. In that year, the red dragon became the symbol of grassland trade in border counties.

The Lord seeks money.

Zhang Qi also knew that in that era, anti-counterfeiting was a joke, so because of the red dragon's positioning, he always let it float between eighty coins and a hundred coins.

Moreover, the current red dragon has been replaced three times, from the copper inlaid with silver at the beginning to the current pure silver.

The weight has also been reduced from 30 grams to 15 grams.

And with the circulation of red dragons, the decision-making power regarding the value of red silver has now fallen to Zhang Qili.

Because Zhang Qi discovered that he had the largest reserves of red silver in the border counties.

All of this comes from Qunxun's contribution to the world of riding and slashing, and from the sea of ​​origin.

It’s hard to find a silver mountain that has never been mined!
