"The Thirteen Mountains dispatched 700 people, all experienced hunters and mountain people." Li Shenming stood beside Zhang Han and reported in a deep voice: "In addition to the mobilization of the 12th Regiment and the sent by Taiwan, at least 3,000 people searched around in Kuandian area with a radius of more than a thousand miles."

Sun Jingting frowned and said, "We must ensure the safety of personnel and not go too far into the Donglu territory."

Li Shenming said: "In addition to experienced military intelligence personnel, ordinary teams of mountain citizens and hunters are not allowed to go deep into the enemy territory. Even if you go, senior military intelligence personnel will be led by teams. In terms of safety, the number of people lost in the past month is no more than twenty people. Compared with the casualties we took the initiative to fight against the Donglu last year, it is still slightly more serious."

Sun Jingting didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han also looked at Sun Jingting, turned to Li Shenming and said, "Send the reply back to Pidao and Kuandian as soon as possible, and tell Xu Ming, Cheng Fang, Yang Yi, Wen Zhongfa, Wang Biao, Han Tong and others that all measures have been good recently, so we can continue to implement them."

Li Shenming agreed, and the servants of the attendant immediately wrote Zhang Han's order in a hard pen. The attendant directly used Zhang Han's seal, rode two horses over, and immediately received the order and ran away.

Only then did Zhang Han say to Sun Jingting: "The necessary sacrifice is inevitable, Brother Xiaozheng..."

Sun Jingting said: "I know this too, but I feel that the propaganda should be strengthened. Otherwise, the soldiers who died in battle will inevitably be discussed, killing the enemy and dying because of searching for wood. What I worry about is that the soldiers who die will gain a bad reputation."

"This concern is very serious." Zhang Han said immediately: "You asked Zhang Yongan and Wu Bo to do this matter. First communicate with these propaganda personnel for the importance of Taiwan, and then let them do some propaganda copy. It is necessary to promote this matter well. You cannot let the soldiers ahead work hard and not be understood."

Li Shenming also looked at Sun Jingting with admiration. He thought Sun Jingting could not understand it. Now it seemed that he wanted to lower his companion who had always been with his friends.

"I won't send you here." Li Shenming said: "It will be a farewell to send you thousands of miles away. Thank you for your hard work in Wen Lan and Xiao Zheng."

"It's very hard for me to go out and take care of my house." Zhang Han smiled and said, "It's not that you stayed as a hand-off manager. You should also be careful of holiday work. Don't wait for me to come back and Brother Zunlu fell ill."

"I'm not that delicate." Li Shenming said angrily, and then bowed to everyone.

Everyone bowed back, Zhang Han clamped the horses, and people began to follow him and gallop forward.

Before this trip, Zhang Han went to the Jiuyunnei and the copper mine, visited several large storage areas where cotton was stored, and visited several farmland villages, and spent most of his time in Qingcheng.

Yang Liu finally hoped for another son. Zhang Han had three sons at his twenties. If he was afraid of being worried in his later generations, it would trigger a ecstasy of joy in Hutchison. Chang was also very happy. His uncle Chang Jin bought more than 100 taels of silver firecrackers and set them off for a whole day and night. The entire Qingcheng was shrouded in a pungent smell of smoke and sulfur.

With these three sons, all inheritance issues were solved. No one was worried about Zhang Han's successor anymore, which really made Zhang Han laugh and cry.

After having a full moon banquet for his son, Zhang Han decided to take a large number of escorts to head north, with his target being Kulun.

At this time, the weather on the grassland has really turned warm, and there are green everywhere. The grass has grown half a palm high, and there are herds rushing to change herds everywhere. Zhang Han decided to travel at this time because the road from Qingcheng to Anguli Nao was completely repaired and connected after the New Year. Then, the road from Anguli Nao crossed the Gobi and grassland areas, and the road to Kulun was almost completed in one go. The technical difficulty of building the rammed earth official road was not very high. The road was too far away. Just from Anguli Nao to Kulun was more than 1,500 miles, and Sainshanda, which was mixed with the Gobi and grassland landforms, was more than 500 miles. Along the way, the military command used a large convoy to carry tools and personnel, and a large number of cattle and horses were used as animal powers. He rushed north along the way, and every three times

Recharge points and military stations were set up from ten to sixty miles away, and troops were garrisoned along the way to drive out horse thieves and wolves to ensure safety. Then, tens of thousands of baggage soldiers and civilians began to build roads in sections along hundreds of miles. The project that began last spring has not stopped. Even during the war with the Chahar people, the road construction and fort construction project was carried out in an orderly manner. The military and political departments and military supplies departments have been working together. Li Dongxue, Mo Zongtong and others have been in charge of this project. The war and the severe winter have not completely stopped the project. On the coldest snowy days, the workers did some miscellaneous work in addition to resting during the Chinese New Year, including building wintering houses, firing kiln bricks, building supply points for the military fort station, repairing damaged vehicles, etc.

Such a huge project with a span of nearly two thousand miles, the investment exceeded 2 million taels of silver. Even so, it was thanks to Hutchison's extraordinary transportation capacity. This can be said to be a cross-age project, at least nearly two hundred years ahead.

Even at the beginning of the road construction, many people were pessimistic. Many people believed that it would take millions of dollars, more than one hundred thousand civilians and baggage soldiers, and at least three or four years to make this trade road to the north smooth.

But the truth is that in a year, the road has been repaired and can be passed back and forth.

The entourage was mainly servants, military orders, military orders, military government and military supplies, and other middle-level departments. Only Sun Jingting followed the senior staff. Tangma, with a squadron, went north with a squadron, and could pass military orders at any time. Sun Jingting mainly assisted Zhang Han in fixing the scale of the trading city and the structure of the marching department. Mo Zongtong was already in charge of the host. He was a powerful figure with Li Dongxue and was once a powerful figure on the double walls of Hutchison. I believe there would be no too many troubles or shortcomings. Asking Zhang Han to run over to find faults.

The spring breeze is warm, and the sun is not very sunny. The mountains in the distance have changed from snow-white to green. There is endless green everywhere. The sky is pure blue, and there is almost no cloud. Teams of herders pass by from afar, riding horses or sheep, and a small number of cattle are driven to the new lush meadow. When they see Zhang Han, the brigade of cavalry and chariots coming, these herders did not escape quickly. They just stood there on horseback, took off the hats on their heads, and bowed to Zhang Han from afar.

Behind Zhang Han is the flag bearer with a red flag with a high of six feet high. In fact, according to Zhang Han's current status, the emperor is far away from heaven, so he can use more flags and guards to show his status. However, Zhang Han rejected the proposals of the subordinates. Hutchison is still very simplistic and unwritten. Even when Zhang Han formulates etiquette in the future, he will be simple and useless, and will not highlight his status by those flashy and useless things.

Even this red flag has just been added recently. Facing an alliance with aliens, Zhang Han reluctantly agreed to this aspect.

The special guards around them were all wearing military robes on the outside and mail on the inside. The robes were bright, the weapons in their hands were shining, and the horse riding movements were neat and uniform, full of coordination, and a sense of majestic and domineering rhythm.

Then there were a large number of accompanying staff wearing official uniforms, accompanying the northbound troops... The team of more than a thousand people was already a large number of people on the grassland, and with more than a hundred large four-wheeled carriages, it was difficult for this team to not attract attention.

Zhang Han occasionally bets his eyes around or behind him.

Surrounded by senior and middle-level officials such as Sun Jingting, as well as middle-level generals such as Jiang Yi, they were all full of energy and confident faces.

The same is true for the special guards. Everyone has a high spirit on their faces, without the numbness unique to the Ming army, depressed and the numbness unique to being hungry, bullying, humiliation and torture for many years.

Including baggage soldiers, coachmen, and civil servants, almost all have a special temperament.

This temperament can easily attract attention wherever Hutchison goes, which is why bigwigs such as Sun Chengzong and Mao Wenlong have begun to pay attention to Hutchison.

With such a group with high fighting spirit, abnormal internal groups, rich financial resources and strong force, who dares to expect future development?

Generals such as Yu Zigao from the south, as well as local forces in Fujian, also easily chose to cooperate with Hutchison. After all, these people are not stupid and many things will be seen.

Zhang Han felt a sense of pride. He had been in this world for eight years. From a young man to a young man, he had already had his own family and a huge force he created. Everything was changing and changing as he imagined. This feeling was really wonderful.

What else is more exciting than calling a big nation that has gone from wilderness to civilization, from prosperity to decline and rigidity, regaining vitality and becoming stronger again?

...

"Zhang Han passed Sainista five days ago?"

Madoff hurried into the room, took a letter and handed it to Pettering.

Because these two men made great contributions to establishing trade channels with the Ming Dynasty, they presided over all matters in the transaction of the city. Moscow did not send a new governor, but directly appointed these two men as governors and trade envoys.

This is the highest trust and supreme glory given by the Tsar, and both of them are determined to get things done.

This is a city with a radius of about seven miles. All regulations and architectural styles are mixed with Chinese and Western styles. There are both Russians' pointed onion-shaped buildings and Western-style small-scale inner city. They are called storage areas by the Russians. In fact, the place is very large. They not only store goods, but also serve as garrison and military personnel, as well as merchants, which occupy nearly half of the entire city.
