Eight hundred and fifty-eight chapters wind 18
Shinra Phan/Xinghai East Road, northwest of Jeolla Road.
As the messengers of various vassals who were close to the monk Qingdao of Zhongqingdao, and who were paying money for various generous coins, kept begging and begging; Yang Zaixing, the fourth military envoy and the chief of the horse and stance of Quanzhou, finally led his troops out of Quanzhou City and rushed towards Jiangyuan Road.
Although I had always maintained a basic attitude of watching the fire across the mountains and watching it; after all, whether it was for those "Last Baekje" who were rebelling against the rebellion or the other princes who were about to cut the knife, Huaidong Town undoubtedly had outsiders who needed to be vigilant and guard against it.
However, with these local princes, even if they united together to form alliances and groups of all sizes, they were not the opponent of the Hou Baekje country who was good at mobilizing the poor slaves at the bottom and swept the enemy. As the situation of losing their troops and lands was getting backwards, they had to give up their reserved posture and integrity, and at the same time they remembered Huaidong Town, a neighbor of tigers and wolves who were in the forefront.
For Huaidong Town, it is just as the saying goes, and the ceasefire with the latter Baekje country will no longer exist as the Boluo Conflicts and confrontations with Huaidong intensify and confrontation. Although it is not the best time yet, there is no other choice in the short term.
After two years of operation and operation, Huaidong's agency rule and direct operation in Jeolladao have been much more stable, and the population under direct rule has reached tens of thousands. Through local stewardship and the rule of the princes, the population specifically provides money, grain and labor has also reached hundreds of thousands;
Therefore, in addition to the full support of the town, the six camps and Huaidong soldiers who were all over the four coastal counties of Jeolladao, there were also local princes led by the six alliances of the Quanzhou province, and 4,000 armed soldiers who gathered together from various places to follow their small and medium-sized farmland owners.
Therefore, after gathering along the way, before entering the critical mountain city, there was already an orderly and majestic team.
After passing through the low and rolling mountains and rocks, the Gangwon-do, which was owned by the Baekje Kingdom, was completely exposed to them.
In the distant river ferry crossings that extend from the wilderness and mountains, the civilized city and villages built by the Maitreya army stationed in the past two years, such ugly buildings as dogs, are just crisscrossing on the road ahead.
In the face of the tide of 20,000 people, not long after, these "illegal buildings" blocking the road had not yet been able to roll up any dust or cause any obstacles. They were frightened and fleeing in all directions or kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy, as well as the rapidly evacuated fire and dust ashes.
Yang Zaixing further confirmed more information by questioning the captures that had almost no fighting spirit; the force now being responsible for guarding Jiangyuan Road is mainly composed of the newly emerged Hou Baekje court, the two major military governors appointed by Lingdong and Lingxi, and several capital troops guarding Yuanshan Prefecture.
The Lingdong Jiedushi is mainly the former subordinate of the Maitreya Army. He was also appointed by the chief monk Hai Qing of the Maitreya Sect, and was divided into seven counties including Yuanzhou, Hengcheng, Ningyue, Hongchuan, and Pyeongchang. The so-called Lingxi Jiedushi is an armed force formed by local tyrants and wealthy families who joined the Later Baekje regime. He was born as a servant of the former Jiangzhou family and was also the commander of the Jiangzhou Defense Army. He commanded the four towns of the so-called Gucheng, Yangkou, Donghai and Taibai.
The "Beijing Army" in the capital Yuanshan Prefecture is one of the few elite forces with thick backs; but most of them are divided into important civil and military officials such as Fu Yu Guang, Prime Minister Zheng Zhongfu, the governor of the Fourth Army Gong Jian, the left and right generals Song Hongyi, Sun Daoqing, the chief minister of the Beijing Army, Pei Xuanqing, Shin Chongqian and Park Ji-qian and other important civil and military officials. They divided their troops to go to the north and the east expedition.
At least one of the soldiers under the name of the Hou Baekje country, known as the Five Routes and Four Supervisors, was destroyed by the Mengshan Army because of the invasion of Jeolladao, and the other Maitreya soldiers were also severely damaged by the Huaidong Army in Xiaoshan City.
Therefore, in terms of morale and mentality against the enemy, most of the soldiers of the vassal army who have experience in fighting formations have natural advantages and advantages.
Especially in Fenglei's Maitreya Army, who was once regarded as the target of cutting melons and vegetables, and had taught him a lesson, the fear of being brought back by the fish that escaped the net in the past few years has become more and more new...
Yunzhou, as the southwest end of the protruding part extending along the bank of the Yellow River in Huaidong Town,
A long row of boats also rushed to the water surface of the Wuzhang River near Leize County downstream of Onozawa.
The most conspicuous ones are undoubtedly the two sides of the car and ship that are in the first place. The huge paddle wheels that keep turning and stirring up the rolling water, and the thick pipe diameter on the top, constantly spraying out gray and black smoke.
Under the huge ceiling, the huge boiler was opened and sent to fuel, and the flames spewed out due to burning coal were even standing far away on the shore.
Ruan Wu, the helmsman who was transferred to help in the local fleet, also looked at the huge guy in the leader with some envy;
Unlike most of the vehicles and ships that are commonly used to carry passengers, or those smaller cruise ships that have been tested on Onozawa before; the overall structure of the ship has been significantly improved, and the shiny metal part almost takes up most of the deck;
Moreover, the positions of the front and middle cabins of the hull were almost occupied by a huge reciprocating machine, its wheel axle and transmission mechanism. As for the hollow troughs in the rear half of the hull, they were also filled with a large pile of coal stones.
Therefore, the parts that are actually used for transportation are those large canal transport ships connected with thick cables and dragged long behind, extending along the river channel to the end of the water surface like a long dragon. From a distance, there are probably not as many as dozens of ships.
It is said that pulling this long row of flat-panel canal ships does not require group of human resources to pull fibers or a lot of animal power to help, just a new type of ship equipped with a large pot mule machine.
As the roaring machinery on the vehicle and ship gradually stopped and slowed down, the trestle slowly approached the shore by the remaining inertia, and was fixed by various hooks on the shore. Then the long flat-panel river boat behind it was also pulled down from the near-shore ropes and leaned against the shore one by one.
After putting down the board, the first group of people walking out under the tent were the neatly slapped Huai Army soldiers. They were full of energy and bright complexion. They were freely lined up on the shore with the sound of trumpets, and then joined the sequence to help the ships behind them land.
Under the roofs of some flat-panel boats behind were some saddles and horses and other large livestock, which were carefully pulled along the wide aisle amid the neighing and shouting.
On the last dozen flat-panel boats that docked were the food and supplies carried by the fleet, along with the loaded military trucks, chariots and vans, they were carefully dragged to the shore.
Then, the empty canal ship was simply cleaned up, reinstalled on the wounded and sick on the return trip, the armored equipment that needed maintenance, local fishing catches, rice and wheat and other bulk products, as well as some ore that has been mined nearby.
Then, Ruan Wu, who was so busy that he was sweating all over, vaguely realized that these were soldiers dispatched from Yizhou and ships boarded in Xuzhou, and they drove over day and night.
It only took almost a day and a half before and after arriving here, a full-staffed main battle battalion, with the most basic equipment, vehicles, horses and supplies.
Compared to the speed of adjusting the defense of horse riding on land, they are even more than half a day faster; and compared to the fatigue and consumption of horse riding on horse riding, they spend most of their time resting on the boat.
Some people who are well adaptable have even slept for two or three nights; although this transportation loaded as many people and supplies as possible in order to test the limit of vehicle and ship capacity, which made it inevitable that they were a little narrow and unable to stretch their hands and feet in the cabin, but compared to the outdoor training that used to sleep in the open air, it was still much more relaxed and comfortable.
After all, there are no excessive winds and waves or bumps in the canal river. The daily diet and other supplies are provided by large flat boats, specialized on-board kitchens, medical centers, tool rooms, warehouses, etc.; and there is no need to recruit civilians along the way for assistance, or to transfer, dock, camp, and you can slow down and continue to move under the guidance of the shore at night.
Each flatbed boat only needs to arrange several people to take turns on duty and whistle, and at the turn or rapid river sections, prevent possible collisions and scratches, squeezes, stranding and other emergencies.
In addition, I have tried short-distance segments many times before, and tested the hydrological and geographical conditions along the way step by step. Therefore, this time, the long-distance adjustment and defense that travels across the entire area from east to west can be said to be relatively well prepared.
So along the way, except for the stuffyness in the cabin, the occurrence of several cases of heat stroke and dehydration, and the unlucky guys who accidentally fell into the water while standing by the boat to relieve their hands, there was no unnecessary accident.
Through steam-powered towing multi-knot shipping, even the cost of military mobilization and the harassment and impact on places along the way have been greatly reduced.
However, after this special transformation, the steamed car ship used to transport canal transport cannot be maintained and performed in the best condition for a long time due to mechanical properties and materials. Therefore, after five or six times in this way, you need to return to the place of origin and conduct a round of comprehensive maintenance to ensure the normal use of the next round.
There are still some problems and problems in this way, but no matter what,
