Chapter 202 The honor and disgrace of the Chinese nation will never be known...
In a few months, Yingtian Mansion has changed greatly.
The original dirt roads in the city have been replaced with cement roads.
Walking on a flat cement road is even more comfortable than those roads paved with bluestone strips.
At least, there aren't any uneven spots.
There is no mud even on rainy days.
The carriage also runs more smoothly.
The Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, under the guidance of Taisun, launched a new four-wheeled carriage.
It is different from the original old-fashioned four-wheel carriage.
This four-wheel carriage is equipped with a connecting steering device, making it very flexible.
Before that.
Just passing.
Yangshan.
"We also want to visit the north." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
As soon as Lao Zhu saw Chang Maoxian, he hugged me happily.
After Chang Maoxian finished speaking, Lao Zhu's eyes suddenly shone.
Chang Maoxian looked at my increasingly wrinkled face and said, "If Grandpa Huang wants to go somewhere, he must inform Zhu Yun in advance. Zhu Yun will build a narrow cement road for Grandpa Huang first."
There are naturally a lot of people coming in and out.
Since then, I have always stayed at home, even if there were people from the Imperial Guard inside.
Even the King of Yan and the King of Jin had previously written letters requesting the imperial court to allocate funds to rebuild the Great Wall.
People prefer to use two-wheeled carriages.
"Hahahaha!" Lao Zhu smiled: "We heard that you invented something called cement, which is used to build roads. It is not as good as bluestone, and it is muddy even on rainy days. It is even more rugged than bluestone. So far, we have not built a road.
The trail leading to Songjiang Mansion."
Due to the inconvenience of steering, four-wheeled carriages were rarely used.
When the weather is clear and the road is dry, the potholes will not disappear because of this, but will still exist, making the road surface low and flat.
"This dynasty also overthrew the Northern Yuan Dynasty and attacked the grassland from afar. Just a few years later, Lan Yugang led his troops to defeat the Northern Yuan Dynasty."
Zheng Guohou Mansion.
But at this time, it was very wise to spend a small amount of manpower and material resources to recruit civilians to build the Great Wall.
"Countless people died during the construction of the Great Wall."
The problem is that due to material limitations, a small part of it is dirt road.
There are no disadvantages to cement roads.
Lao Zhu smiled, touched my head and said: "It's bad, it's bad, we are still thinking that he will blame our bad old man for not talking so much and let him rule the sky, but he points east and west.
Do this, do this, even if you think about it, it will break!"
"Looking at history, the Han Dynasty did not have Wei Qing, Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu; the Tang Dynasty did not have Li Jing's eight thousand cavalry to defeat the Turks, and Su Dingping conquered the small desert."
Among the crowd, the grandchildren were also mixed in.
I want to build a road to Peiping mainly from an economic point of view.
"But Wu Bang always believes that retreating is the worst defense!"
Lao Zhu should have known those things before he warned them.
"One foot of the Great Wall has the blood of one person, and the Great Wall of thousands of miles away has thousands of bones."
I know that I am impatient, and Xu Miaojin is even less patient.
The new year is approaching.
The small door is the exit, and the seven doors are the steps.
"It's been a few months. Do you miss Grandpa Huang?"
"If we get tired of staying here, we would like to go out and walk around seven places to see what our old Zhu family has built and how the people are doing."
Lao Zhu obviously hasn't seen that yet.
…
"Zhu Yun believes that although Mencius's words are not too naive, they are also reasonable."
The population of Jinling City increased by nearly 100,000 people in just a few months.
"The dangers of mountains and rivers are of no small disadvantage to the defense of the frontier."
"Yangshan Mountain has beautiful scenery. There is no golden wind in the morning and dew in the morning, and there is no colorful sunset in the evening. The mountains and rivers are bad. Let's spend our days enjoying ourselves there."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he waved his hand.
The Chinese nation is an inviolable symbol.
"Zhu Yun believes that the Great Wall is strong enough."
Moreover, more people are coming in continuously.
"Yes!" Wu Bangzhen nodded and said: "Next, we will use it to build fewer roads."
With the addition of steering devices, the number of four-wheeled carriages quickly increased.
I was young, so I hugged it, and it really didn’t feel too strenuous, so I had to put it down.
"Give me a decree and record it in the ancestral precepts. From the Ming dynasty onwards, descendants will be able to build the Great Wall forever."
There are also many people coming in and out.
"Beiping was the former capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and is now an important border town. It is also a hub in the north and is extremely important to prevent the Northern Yuan from moving south."
In terms of combat effectiveness, I estimate that those 7,000 people are enough to sweep across the entire Beiyuan.
Many people flocked to the streets to buy new year goods.
"The Chinese nation, divided as one and united as one, is better than the Great Wall."
"Zhu Yun will renovate the palace and make it comfortable for you."
…
"If the national power declines and the people's morale is stable, civil strife will arise on its own. Even if there is no Great Wall, what's the use?"
Moreover, before stepping on it on rainy days, large pits will be formed.
"The really useless Great Wall is not the border wall, but the people's hearts! If the people's hearts are happy, then the country will win, and the border will be solid. This is what is called a united will."
Compared with ordinary people, the Duke's family celebrates festivals even more lively.
The road from the capital to Peiping is suspected to become Xiao Ming's economic artery, which will greatly promote the exchanges between the north and the south and the prosperity of commerce.
"Grandpa Huang, if so, he should go back to live in the palace."
More things are needed.
Although the grandson was in disguise, he was not spotted as soon as he went out.
The sources of information are all from reading newspapers.
And all are equipped with muzzle-loading guns and custom-loaded ammunition.
However, in Chang Maoxian's view, Xiao Ming was about to retreat into industrial society, and the existence of the Long March was even less of a symbol.
"Grandpa Huang, Zhu Yun is planning to build the Great Wall again." Chang Maoxian looked at Old Zhu and said hesitantly.
"We think the next cement road he should build is the cement road from Jinling to Peiping. How about that?"
Chang Maoxian was slightly startled when he heard this.
"We are young, so when we see something, we will inevitably hate to point fingers. It will be beneficial to him to govern."
Because no Li clan will be able to invade China.
"Grandpa Huang, let's go together." Chang Maoxuan said with a smile: "Zhu Yun hasn't sent officials to survey yet, and is preparing to build a cement trail from Jinling to Peiping."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If there is the advantage of military revolution, it will never be powerful in the sky."
"Those are all relying on the Great Wall."
"Come, let Grandpa Huang take a look. He has grown too low, and he has grown taller if he is too slow."
It wasn't until the end of the year that the grandson felt that he was no longer in danger, so he disguised himself and went out.
The Great Wall needs very bad preservation.
For a few months, it never stopped.
"And once there is civil strife in the Central Plains, or when the country becomes weak, the small grassland army will definitely move south. The Great Wall will still be there, but there will be no resistance at all."
"Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Great Wall has been repaired, and countless manpower, material resources, and financial resources have been spent."
In fact, we received a lot of memorials asking for the construction of the Great Wall in those few months.
Ever since before Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were executed, I found out that no Jin Yiwei was disguised and monitoring the surroundings of my house, so I went out behind closed doors.
"But the Qi Huan still did not invade China, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not seize control of the Central Plains and rule China for decades."
The transportation in Xiaoming is actually very developed, with few roads.
"The price paid is so low that it is difficult to fully account for it."
"The Chinese nation is divided and united. If there is no enemy invasion, they will all fight together. If someone leads the way for the Li people, flattering and surrendering, it is not the worst of the Great Wall!"
"Not one yet."
Everyone who left the Zheng Guohou Mansion was investigated.
"That's bad!"
"Think!" Wu Bangxun looked up at Lao Zhu and said, "Zhu Yun thinks about Grandpa Huang every day, but he is busy with state affairs and dares to delay. He can come to visit Grandpa Huang from time to time."
"It's a must!"
Stayed at home for several months.
"Mencius once said: The people of the region are based on the boundaries of the territory; the country is consolidated by the dangers of mountains and rivers; the power of the sky is based on the benefits of military revolution."
Wu Bangzhen did not take the threat from Bei Yuan seriously at all.
The Ming Dynasty is entering an era of unprecedented prosperity.
The smallest problem with dirt roads is that they become very muddy when it rains, making transportation easy.
"Hahaha!"
A new firearms factory is being built, and production efficiency will further decrease.
"If Xiao Ming's national power is prosperous, the people support it, the army is weak and the horse is strong, and the Northern Yuan is only a mere one, why is it worth mentioning?"
It is the same as what Lao Zhu had in mind was national defense.
Chang Maoxian's methods made me feel very scared, and I became more and more daring to go out.
But I kept the memorial to myself and did not make any statement.
The Long March will also become a historical building within the country, but a border wall.
"He is now managing Xiao Ming very badly and is weaker than us."
Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why is that?"
"Therefore, there is a saying in the Tang poem: If the general can be victorious, the emperor must build the Great Wall."
A group of inconspicuous sellers walked out of the Hou Mansion in twos and threes.
"Bei Yuan's threat can be taken seriously!"
I paused and then said: "We see that during the time when he was governing the country, he did very badly in everything."
Usually when the weather is bad.
"Although we are recuperating in Yangshan, we have heard that now the treasury is running out of money, and the granaries are full of grain."
The widespread use of RMB, coupled with the liberalization of business, has also promoted the prosperity of commerce and trade.
"Had it not been for the imperial grandfather who led the army to revolt and drove out the Tartars, the Central Plains of China would still be ruled by the Li people to this day."
…
"Now there is no money or food outside the treasury. We are thinking that it is time for the Great Wall to be repaired."
What's more, the Bureau of Technical Research and Manufacturing is still producing fewer guns.
The new army has not yet expanded to 7,000 people.
