Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Now the firearms used by the regular army in Zhao Wen's hands, 56 punches account for a considerable part.

In the reserve service, 56 and a half are used, and the number of 56 and a half is only half, and the rest are all spearmen and sword and shield soldiers.

Holding the bamboo tube in his pocket, Zhao Daniu hurriedly called for some personal guards, and after a few instructions, he asked them to bring the bamboo tube to Xuanzhen.

Chen Dehai, who escaped from birth, led several guards behind him and ran towards the south without stopping. From being released by Li Xiaosan to now, Chen Dehai has run for nearly 40 miles.

Chen Dehai stopped in a ruined temple, panting heavily.

"My lord, let's rest for a while. Since they let us go, they can't go back and chase us after us." A personal guard said out of breath, holding on to the wall of the ruined temple.

"Yes, yes, let's rest for a while, or we will run to our death."

These guards all began to persuade them.

Chen Dehai sat on the ground and took a few deep breaths.

"In that case, let's take a rest first." Chen Dehai sat on the ground, leaning against the wall of the ruined temple, and adjusted his breathing.

"My lord, do we still have to hurry tonight?" A personal guard looked at Chen Dehai.

Chen Dehai nodded, "We must hurry, we are not far from the Fen River, when the time comes, we will run to the edge of the Fen River, get a boat, go down the river, and go directly to Taiyuan Mansion.

Take a good rest quickly, and in half an hour, we will set off quickly. "

"But we are already the brave of the defeated army. According to the court's law, once we escape to Taiyuan Mansion, we might be arrested by the court." A personal guard looked at Chen Dehai with some anxiety.

If they led a large number of people to escape to Taiyuan Mansion, even if the imperial court wanted to deal with them, at least they had to weigh the strength of their troops.

But now they are just bare rods, and the court can handle it as they want, and they may even lose their lives.

Chen Dehai frowned tightly.

That's a good point, if you go to Taiyuan Mansion like this, you might be arrested by the court.

But if you don't go to Taiyuan Mansion, then the defenders in Taiyuan Mansion will not know how strong Zhao thief is.

If Taiyuan Mansion doesn't make plans early, it will definitely be taken down by Zhao thief at that time. By that time, once Taiyuan is lost, the whole of Shanxi will be gone.

Chen Dehai thought for a moment, slapped his thigh, and said decisively: "Go, go to Taiyuan Mansion, we can't run for our lives just because the imperial court wants to arrest us.

We are soldiers and horses of the imperial court, with the salary of the imperial court, even if the imperial court wants to punish us, we must inform the imperial court of Zhao Wen's strength.

Otherwise, the entire Daming would be in danger. "

The personal guards that can be picked out by Chen Dehai are all Chen Dehai's hardcore confidantes, no matter what Chen Dehai says, they will obey unconditionally.

"In that case, if your lord is going, we will follow you." These personal guards said in a deep voice.

After resting for half an hour, Chen Dehai led his personal guards and ran towards the Fen River in the south.

Time passed little by little, and the night became darker and darker.

Under the darkness, the entire Great Ming is different, some people are fleeing for their lives, some are enjoying themselves in peace and contentment, wishing to die in a gentle village.

In the Prince Jin Mansion of Taiyuan Mansion, Zhu Shenxuan, the current heir of the King of Jin, sat in the side hall of the Prince Mansion and invited all the famous people in Taiyuan Mansion.

Among them, the governor of Shanxi, the chief envoy of Shanxi, the chief soldier of Taiyuan, the envoy of the inspector and other officials were sitting on both sides of the side hall, admiring the singing and dancing of the dancers in the side hall with smiles on their faces.

Among these people, almost all of them were smiling, without any anxiety.Although they already knew that Zhao Wen had breached Yanmen Pass, in their eyes, Yanmen Pass was far from Taiyuan, and what happened at Yanmen Pass had nothing to do with them.

The current king of Jin, Zhu Qiugui, is very weak, and he is about to die, so Zhu Shenxuan is the main man in the entire mansion of King Jin.

And Zhu Shenxuan is a complete waste, he only knows how to seek pleasure and indulge in wine and meat.

But not all officials are like this.

Governor of Shanxi Wu Xuan sat in the lower seat of Jin Wang Shizi Zhu Shenxuan, holding a wine glass, although his eyes were fixed on the dancing girl in the side hall, his face was full of worry.

Wu Zhen drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, sighing non-stop.

The prince of Jin saw Wu Zhen with a worried face, and looked at Wu Zhen with a smile on his face while holding a wine glass, "Why is Master Wu unhappy? But what's on your mind? Why don't Master Wu speak out, maybe this prince can help you You guide and guide."

Everyone in the hall also put down their wine glasses one after another and looked at Wu Sheng.

Wu Xuan sighed and shook his head, "Your Highness, the rebel Zhao Bandit had already breached the Yanmen Pass before, and with Zhao Bandit's strength, it is estimated that the towns and towns in Shanxi would also be easily breached by Zhao Bandit.

Once the Shanxi town is lost, there will be no place in the north of Shanxi that can resist the Zhao bandits. The whole of Shanxi will be defenseless. "

Jin Wang Shizi Zhu Shenxuan laughed disapprovingly, "Haha, Mr. Wu, is this too much worry? Shanxi Town is one of the Nine Sides. Although I dare not say that it is the most powerful of the Nine Sides, its strength is not high enough. No, no matter how powerful the Zhao thief is, it is impossible to attack the entire Shanxi town in a short period of time.

Besides, even if bandits Zhao captured Shanxi Town, what does that have to do with my son?At that time, the imperial court will naturally send troops. Once the imperial court army arrives, the Zhao thieves will be wiped out in an instant. "

"Yes, Master Wu, what are you worried about? Besides, Yanmen Pass is still far away from Taiyuan Mansion, and we are not short of this time. Oh." Li Tianhe, the chief soldier of Taiyuan Town, said disapprovingly.

"Master Wu, I think you're overthinking. Today His Royal Highness is hosting a banquet for us, so let's not talk about these political affairs." Shanxi Chief Envoy Wang Gubo also persuaded.

When Wu Hao heard these words, he immediately became anxious, "How can you say that? You know that there will be no eggs under the overturned nest. If Shanxi Town is lost, the Taiyuan Mansion will not be able to stop the Zhao thief at all." attack.

Nowadays, a banquet costs hundreds of taels of silver. If the money is used to update armaments or recruit soldiers and horses, it is unknown how many armaments can be updated or how many soldiers and horses can be recruited. "

Zhu Shenxuan's face became gloomy, "Master Wu, I don't like listening to you. What do you mean, this prince should recruit soldiers for the imperial court? Taiyuan City will let this prince to guard?

This son is not the governor of Shanxi, let alone the general soldier of Taiyuan. What does this matter of guarding the city have to do with this son?This is all your business. "

Zhu Shenxuan's language was very cold, and Wu Xuan's heart was even colder when he heard it.

He looked at Jin Wang Shizi Zhu Shenxuan, heaved a long sigh helplessly, and then stood up, "Your Highness, I still have some things to deal with, so I will take my leave first, and please don't blame me, Your Highness."

"Let's go, let me go quickly. It's really disappointing." Zhu Shenxuan put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, and shouted impatiently.

Wu Xuan saluted Zhu Shenxuan, then stepped back and exited the side hall.

After Wu Xuan left, the chief eunuch standing next to Zhu Shenxuan looked at the direction of Wu Xuan's departure with a look of displeasure, and said in a strange way: "Your Highness, it's obvious that Wu Xuan doesn't take His Highness seriously.

The power of these civil servants is getting bigger and bigger, and now they don't pay attention to the sons and grandsons of the dragon. "

"Hmph, don't care about him, he's just a servant of my Zhu family." Zhu Shenxuan snorted coldly.

After walking out of the palace, Wu Zhen sat in a carriage with a gloomy expression on his face.

"What a heroic figure Taizu was back then, why are his descendants like this? He is really a waste like a wine bag and rice bag." Wu Yan sat in the carriage and cursed angrily.

The groom sitting outside driving the carriage hurriedly said: "Master, please don't say that. This is Taiyuan Mansion, the territory of King Jin. The old King Jin is about to die. If the son of King Jin hears what Master said, I'm afraid It's going to be a lot of trouble."

"Trouble? I, Wu Yan, sit up straight, and I'm not afraid of any trouble at all. All right, don't talk about these things, just go back home."

In history, Wu Tong was a native of Xinghua, Jiangsu Province, and a famous doctor of his generation. He was upright and capable, and was quite trusted by Chongzhen.

"Now that the bandits Zhao have breached Yanmen Pass, they are already on the verge of sweeping Shanxi, so we have to guard against it."

Back home, Wu Xuan changed a piece of clothes, washed his face, shut himself in the study and wrote the memorial to Chongzhen.

……

At noon the next day, news came from Song Hu and Liu Wu.

It is said that now Song Hu and Liu Wu have each broken through more than a dozen military forts and military settlements, and now most of the entire Shanxi Town has been taken down.

Moreover, the rest of the military forts also surrendered after seeing the large army of the two, and directly gave up the city.

In this way, the speed of the two became much faster.

Now the two of them have divided the soldiers and horses in their hands into nearly twenty teams, and let these teams divide into more than a dozen groups to attack, and attack the remaining military forts and military camps in Shanxi Town. Shanxi Town won.

At this time, Zhao Yi and the others finally came to Xuanzhen.

Not long after entering Xuan Town, Sun Yuanhua led a large group of people to appear in front of them.

"What are we doing with me?" Zhao Yi looked at Sun Yuanhua and others who suddenly appeared, with a puzzled look on his face.

Sun Yuanhua stood on a small soil bag, and beside him were a dozen strong men, these men were used to convey Sun Yuanhua's voice.

Sun Yuanhua shouted at these people: "You are a group of prisoners now, from now on, you must obey me, and do whatever I tell you to do.

Now all of you must follow me, remember, don't think about running away, there are our people around here, if you run away and get caught, don't blame me for being rude. "

These captives looked at Sun Yuanhua with disapproval in their hearts.

In their opinion, why run away now that they have food and drink.

Sun Yuanhua looked at the calm crowd, and shouted again: "Now all of you line up for me, first register you, and after registration, all of you will follow me."

Chapter 387 Prepare to go south

There is a huge construction site about a dozen miles away from Sun Yuanhua's receiving the captives. This construction site is the site where the railway is being built.

In order to speed up, Sun Yuanhua adopted the method of starting at two ends and proceeding at multiple points.

In this way, a large number of manpower is required. Originally, the number of manpower in Sun Yuanhua's hands was still a bit stretched, but after taking over these captives, the manpower problem can be greatly improved.

Sun Yuanhua had a team of supervisors in his hands. The number of supervisors in this team was about 3000. They were selected from the reserve force and specially set up for these prisoners.

After all, these captives will not behave like those workers.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua led a supervisory team of more than 500 people. In addition to these supervisory teams, Sun Yuanhua also brought a large number of scribes.

These scribes are now right in front of the captives, sitting behind the table that has already been prepared, holding books, and registering the captives.

There were more than 2000 captives, and an hour had passed by the time all the captives were registered.

Sun Yuanhua looked at the captives who had been registered, and shouted loudly: "Everyone follow me now, remember, don't think about escaping, otherwise you will die miserably."

Although Zhao Yi didn't know where the people in front of him were going to take him, he didn't have any other thoughts.

After completing the handover with the soldiers escorting the prisoner, Sun Yuanhua led the prisoner to the railway construction site.

The construction site is located in a territory called Yangyuan County.

Although Yangyuan County is called a county, it is under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhen, so there is no county magistrate in it, but it is managed by military management.

Yangyuan County is close to Datong Town, at the intersection of Xuanzhen Town and Datong Town. Zhao Wen stationed three hundred households in Yangyuan County.

When Zhao Yi and other captives came to the construction site, they were a little puzzled. They had never seen a railway, so they had no idea what these busy workers were doing on the construction site.

Zhao Yi looked carefully, and found that the entire construction site was very large, covered with long strips of iron.

There are also long strips of wood piled up near the iron block, but these logs are shorter and thicker than the long iron block.

In addition to these things, there are many piles of gravel.

There are busy crowds everywhere on the construction site. Some of these crowds are digging on the ground with tools in their hands, some are carrying long strips of wood and laying them on the ground where the foundation has been laid, and dozens of people are carrying Hold a long strip of iron and put it on the long strip of wood.

There are still carriages coming and going on the construction site, pulling goods.

These wagons were surprisingly large, with four wheels and three horses pulling them in front.

The entire construction site was in full swing, and there were shouts of chant everywhere.

There are many houses around the construction site. Obviously, this is where these workers live.

"What is this for? What is this building? Why have you never seen it before?" The young man who followed Zhao Yi pointed at the busy construction site with a dazed expression on his face.

Zhao Yi squinted his eyes, looked at the construction site quietly, and suddenly realized: "Now I finally understand what this is for us to do. This is for us to work."

These captives stood in an open space in front of the construction site under the guard of Sun Yuanhua's supervisory team.

It wasn't until this moment that the captives finally realized that they were going to let people like themselves work.

"Just do the work, anyway, it's better than letting us go to war. According to the style of these people, letting us work will definitely not treat us badly." Standing at the front of the captives, Zhao Yi murmured.

After Sun Yuanhua brought the captives to the open space in front of the construction site, he headed for a grass pavilion on the construction site.

Sun Yuanhua sat under the grass pavilion, picked up a teapot on the table under the grass pavilion, didn't care about the image, and directly drank mouth to mouth.

Sun Yuanhua put down the teapot, wiped the water stains on his mouth, and then said to the attendants behind him: "Go and find these stewards on the construction site, I have something to arrange?"

After a while, these stewards stood in front of Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua looked at the captives in the rear, and said to the supervisors who were building the railway: "These captives are about 2000 people. I will divide them into five groups later, with more than [-] people in each group. I will give all of them you.

Guanshi Liu and Guanshi Wang, you lead these people together with your current manpower to build the railway to Xuanzhen for me.

Li Guanshi and Zhang Guanshi, you lead these people and your current manpower to build the railway to Datong Town.

You have enough manpower now, and there will definitely be more and more manpower in the future, so during the Chinese New Year this year, I hope you can complete the railway from Xuanzhen to Datong Town. "

Sun Yuanhua looked at the stewards standing behind him, and pointed to the prisoners behind him.

"Don't worry, my lord. As long as there are more captives to replenish, we will definitely complete the railway construction on time."

These stewards patted their chests and said swearingly.
