The guard introduced: "This is our prince in the extreme west, escorting a batch of supplies to Tanglin City by the holy order. Didn't Tungus receive a telegram?"
Lin Hanlun patted the guard's arm, shook his head lightly, and said to the middle-aged man, "I just want to know how the road going west is going. Can I drive tomorrow?"
"Under Yao Cheng, the deputy dispatcher of Tunguska Station." The middle-aged man bowed and said, "It hasn't snowed in the past few days, so it shouldn't be a big problem. But you need to be cautious when driving at night, so I asked you to wait until dawn and let us check it at dawn. fan."
Lin Hanlun asked again: "Is the road to the west still clear?"
Yao Cheng understood what Lin Hanlun meant, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Since the gathering of the white people, His Majesty has issued an order to ensure the safety of the railway line. Now the Special Railway Bureau and the garrisons in various places have canceled their vacations. Safety on the railway line."
When they came out of the control room, they saw that Hou Shun was arranging for the soldiers to enter the large kitchen of the station, preparing to cook.
These people can only eat dry food on the train. Although hot water is provided on the train, and there are several kinds of dry food for the army, including rice and noodles, the big guys still like to eat hot rice and hot soup.
In every train station, apart from the control room, the most important thing is the big kitchen.
Each of today's railway stations has a large kitchen with forty cauldrons, which can feed more than 2000 people at the same time.
However, unless notified in advance, most of the time, soldiers are required to cook their own meals.
Lin Hanlun ate jerky at night and drank hot water. Now that he didn't want to eat, he didn't want to wait and boarded the train again.
Only then did Yu Dashan ask: "Didn't the son inform you of the journey back home this time? I have neglected you along the way."
Lin Hanlun smiled and shook his head: "I'm so anxious right now, I don't have the time to socialize. Besides, in Tunguska City, I want to keep a low profile."
Yu Dashan didn't understand what Lin Hanlun meant, but it was hard to ask.
Lin Hanlun sat back in his seat, and said to the elder guard, "Uncle Zhao, I can take care of myself, so you can go to sleep for a while."
Guard Zhao covered Lin Hanlun with a new quilt, and asked him to lie down and cover it. "Sleepy but not sleepy. I have slept a lot in the car these days, but I am very tired."
Lin Hanlun said with a smile: "Then you can get out of the car for a while, there are still two or three hours before dawn! It's still early to leave..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud shout from under the car. "Lin Datou, get out!" Then several soldiers shouted together: "Lin Datou...Lin Datou..."
Uncle Zhao's face was full of anger, and his eyes were fixed on Lin Hanlun, as if he would get out of the car and beat someone as long as Lin Hanlun gave an order.
Lin Hanlun lifted the quilt again, and sighed: "I knew Tunguska was coming, I can't avoid this guy!"
Tunguska City is located in the southwest corner of Xiaohai, at the mouth of the Upper Tunguska River.In later generations, this is Irkutsk.
40 years ago, this place was still a barren land, but since gold was discovered in several tributaries of the Tunguska River, immigrants attracted by the gold rush have gradually multiplied here.
In the 12th year of orthodoxy, His Majesty decided to build the Far West Railway, and Tunguska City, as a traffic throat, became the first city to be confirmed on the railway line.
Then, Zunhua Bo Wu Keqin was awarded the title of Tungus City Lord, responsible for the construction of Tungus City, and organized soldiers to cut down trees and make sleepers.
Wu Keqin is the third son of the loyal uncle Wu Yuncheng. Although the Wu family is a descendant of the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty, they have been loyal since they joined the Ming Dynasty. One father and three sons are all brave and good at fighting. After Wu Yuncheng died of illness, the three sons were all named earls.
Wu Keqin studied at the Habayashi Guard Academy when he was young, and became one of the representatives of the new military branch of the Ming Dynasty, and was highly valued by His Majesty.
After the completion of Tunguska City, he was also named Marquis of Tunguska, the governor of the military and political affairs of thousands of miles from Xiaohai (Lake Baikal) to Yilan Prefecture (Russian Tuva Republic in northern Xinjiang).
Because they are both in the Lingbei area, the Lin family and the Wu family quickly formed an alliance and advanced and retreated together. The relationship between the two families is very close.
Lin Hanlun grew up with the brothers and sisters of the Wu family since he was a child, and his father Lin Chu also intended to marry Wu Xun, Wu Keqin's granddaughter, for him.
But the person in charge of the Lin family is his grandmother Tang Sai'er. She doesn't want her grandson to marry a woman of Mongolian Yuan blood, but wants to marry him a pure Han woman. She disagrees with this marriage.
Because of this incident, Wu Keqin felt greatly insulted, and the relationship between the two families changed from closeness to estrangement.
Lin Hanlun originally had an irresistible relationship with a group of brothers from the Wu family, but now it is very embarrassing.A group of brothers from the Wu family called him Chen Shimei when they saw him, which also made him feel aggrieved.
Because of such an embarrassing relationship, Lin Hanlun didn't want to make public, but unexpectedly, the Wu family still found out about him.
He came to the train gate and shouted loudly: "Wu Mazi, it's late at night, don't disturb other people's rest."
Wu Mazi is Wu Keqin's eldest grandson, Wu Lv, who also grew up in Yingtian Mansion when he was a child, and only returned to Tunguska City last year.He suffered from smallpox when he was a child, and he had a pockmarked face. He was often called a hemp seed when he was a child.
When Wu Lu saw Lin Hanlun, he rushed over, grabbed Lin Hanlun's skirt, and pulled him out of the car. "Okay Chen Shimei, I finally caught you today..."
Before he finished speaking, his sand bowl-sized fist slammed into Lin Hanlun's left eye socket.
Lin Hanlun's eyes were full of gold stars, and his nose was sore, tears could not help but flow down. "You are crazy! Come on, let's fight and see who is afraid of whom!"
"Come on, let me see if you have improved in the past two years!"
The two have wrestled and fought together since they were young, and they are very familiar with each other's strength.
The two of them fought quickly, and in the end, you twisted me, and I trapped you, and fell tired in the snow.
Originally, the two of them looked at each other coldly, but once this familiar feeling came back, the eyes of the two of them softened a lot.Law Chief Wu sighed, let go of Lin Hanlun and sighed: "Mei Xun suffered a blow and said she was going to become a Taoist nun!"
Lin Hanlun's heart trembled, and that familiar figure appeared in his mind.He also let go, lying on the snow and said: "Grandmother is not familiar with Xunmei. I will go back this time and try to persuade her. If she agrees, I will marry Xunmei next year."
Wu Lu was overjoyed, turned over and said, "If you can marry Xunmei, I will take three hundred servants to help your family beat those stinky people!"
"It's you who want to fight!" Lin Hanlun rubbed his eyes, and said bitterly, "It must be green, how can you let me see people!"
(This chapter counts as an update, there is another chapter in the morning, everyone can get up and read it.)
Chapter 10 The Lin family
In the eighth year of Zhengtong, Zhu Zhanji issued the "Order to Abolish Han Chinese Slaves".
Since then, all domestic slaves under the age of 40 in the Ming Dynasty have to re-apply for household registration, while domestic slaves over the age of 40 will be treated differently depending on their wishes.
Even the emperor no longer wants domestic slaves, the palace no longer has eunuchs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been established.Most of the palace affairs are handed over to the maids, and the employment system is implemented, who dares to disobey!
In those few years, there was some chaos in the order of the world. Which big family in Daming didn't have many slaves?
However, because Japan and North Korea contributed a large amount of labor, in general, although there were some twists and turns, this policy was finally implemented.
But in one aspect, there are still some exceptions, and that is the army.
The clan of the Ming Dynasty, the nobles, all have guards.For example, the prince has [-] guards, and the court bears military expenses, while some dukes and marquises also range from [-] to [-].
These people were paid by the imperial court according to ordinary sergeants, and those generals often gave their own soldiers the best treatment in order to win people's hearts, so the money they paid for themselves was actually more than what the imperial court gave.
And the combat effectiveness of personal soldiers is far better than some ordinary soldiers.
However, after the popularity of muskets, discipline and tactics became more important. On the contrary, there was not much room for personal combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
Therefore, the nobles' investment in the soldiers has gradually decreased.
But every general will still not give up this benefit that belongs to him. Even if the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not dominant, their loyalty is still trustworthy.
Generals at all levels were unwilling to give up their own power, and when the current war was still in its infancy, Zhu Zhanji did not forcibly abolish the personal guards, but just let these people's military status be included in the court control.
