Although Chen Bo thinks that his ability to command the army is also good, after all, the third division still has a martial victory. Compared with himself, this person is more like a professional soldier, if the third division is promoted to the third army, the position of army commander is none other than Wu Sheng, and he is at most getting the position of military political commissar.

Although he is also a military cadre, the political commissar is mostly in charge of ideological and logistical work, which makes him always have a feeling that he can't stretch his hands and feet.

As for being in charge of the local development of the Far Eastern State, Chen Bo could only smile bitterly. Who let himself just say that the Far East is not easy to develop, but you can try to develop slowly, even if you have such an awareness, then who else will you hand over this task if it is not handed over to you?

The appointment of Chen Bo as the governor of the Far East Prefecture and the commander of the Far East Army was also decided by Yang Chendong. The Far East must develop, and although it cannot be as fast as it thinks, it will not be too slow. This requires having someone who is familiar with the place, which can save a lot of time. In addition, the situation there will be very complicated, if you just send a civilian official like Yu Mian to go, what if you encounter war and danger?

If you want to be familiar with the situation there, you have to be able to be civil and martial, and there is no doubt that Chen Bo is a very suitable candidate.

The matter was settled like this, Yang Chendong smiled, pointed to the chair opposite and asked Chen Bo to sit down, "You are all major generals now, Wu Sheng can't be forgotten, and Luo Po, the commander of the second division, you were all subordinates of others, and now that you have all been promoted, he can't forget it, so I am ready to promote the second division of Leng Feng on land to the second army of the army, under the jurisdiction of the second, sixth and seventh divisions, and the commander Luo Po will be promoted to the rank of major general; The 3rd Division of the 3rd Army is the 3rd Army, the commander of the army is Wu Sheng, and he is promoted to the rank of major general. Considering that he is still in the Siberian steppes and cannot recruit the superior soldiers in the Han army, let's do it in the current situation first, as long as there is an elite Lu 3rd Division, three mixed divisions and a Jurchen Division. What do you think? ”

"It should be, it should be." Chen Bo had to get up again and answer, he was already a major general, and there was no reason to stop others, not to mention, these two people were not weaker than him in terms of ability or qualifications.

After a night's conversation, the three generals were settled, and Chen Bo returned satisfied. Yang Chendong went to bed very late, and he thought a lot about the problems in the Far East.

According to his thoughts, the Five Star Army and the Great Horde and even the Ancient Rus are going to fight, and it is still a big fight, so how to transport grain and grass will become a big problem. Without a large rear, if you fight alone, I am afraid that you will not be able to show even one-third of your strength in peacetime, and the establishment of the Far Eastern State is imperative. However, how to transport grain, grass and supplies from Shicheng to the Far East is still a big problem.

There are more than 1,000 miles of near, and more than 3,000 miles of far, relying on people to carry horses, so when will it take to complete the transportation of grain and grass? If this problem is not solved, then no matter what, we cannot expect to fight any big battle there or win.

All kinds of images kept flashing in his mind, and if he had a train available, the distance of more than 1,000 to 3,000 miles would be no problem. But the problem is that although there are a lot of things in the warehouse, there are still no things like trains. With a car? There are some in the big warehouse, but the number is also limited, if you can't make it yourself, just rely on the support of the big warehouse, it won't be long before there will be problems, and even the basic principle has not been figured out, once the car is broken, it is a pile of scrap iron.

The car doesn't work, and the train doesn't work, so what can I do?

This question was difficult for Yang Chendong, until the sound of Luan Xiaoyu's even breathing and sleeping came from the room, and the word "railroad" suddenly appeared in Yang Chendong's mind.

"Yes, there is rail transportation." As if he had suddenly thought of something, Yang Chendong said suddenly, causing Luan Xiaoyu, who was already asleep, to turn over beside the bed, and seemed to be muttering something to himself, obviously not knowing what he dreamed of. Seeing that he didn't disturb his wife's sleep, Yang Chendong smiled quietly, then took off his clothes and walked towards the bed.

Lying on the bed, he hugged the sleeping Luan Xiaoyu, and Yang Chendong was still thinking about the railroad tracks in his mind.

Without Yang Chendong, it would not have been until the second half of the 16th century that the first wooden rail would have appeared in history. It was in the mines and quarries of England and Germany that were paved with rails made of wood. Cars traveling on rails are propelled by human or animal power.

It wasn't until 1767 that the price of metal in England plummeted, and the owner of an iron factory saw a mountain of pig iron, which could not be sold for money, and took up a lot of space, so he had long iron bars cast and paved on the factory road, ready to be sold when the price of iron rose. However, it was found that the vehicle walked on the road paved with iron bars, which was both labor-saving and smooth. In this way, the railroad track was born before the train.

Later, after continuous development, the iron bars were improved and made into grooved rails. Later, the underside of the railroad track was widened to create a shape like the Chinese character "gong", which is stable and reliable, and is still used today.

In this life, because of Yang Chendong's sudden appearance, the railroad tracks also appeared more than 200 years earlier. There are railroad tracks in the Red Embedded City that were made according to Yang Chendong's idea, which were used to transport goods. It was only because a large area of cement roads began to be built on Xiaoliuqiu Island that the railroad tracks stopped and were not used. But it turned out that the technology was ripe, and wouldn't it be much easier to transport supplies if a railroad passage could be built from the city of Shicheng to the Siberian steppes?

You know, iron ore is not lacking in the Far East, you only need to send enough people to mine, and then there are enough skilled workers to build railroad tracks, step by step from the Far East to the first city to lay, when the time comes, you can make some railroad cars on the rails, whether it is pulled or pushed by people, it will be much more convenient and faster.

It's a bold idea, and it's a viable one. When there is no shortage of people and iron, Yang Chendong firmly believes that this thing can be done well, and he has even seen the railway track route that reaches thousands of miles, seen the endless flow of materials back and forth, and saw the spectacular scene of the flag of the Five-Star Army planted in every corner of the world.

That is, early the next morning, Yang Chendong arranged for Yang Er to send a telegram to Chichicheng, asking for the people who had followed him to build the railroad tracks, as well as the mold machines that had been made before, to be transported to Shicheng, which was of great use. There was a strict order in the telegram that the relevant technical personnel were not allowed to intercept the flow of people in Chichicheng, and those whose names were called must be released, otherwise once it was found out, whoever left the people behind would be asked who was responsible.

This is a rather harsh telegram, and there is no way to do it. After several years of development in the Red Embedded City, there are indeed a lot of talents, their brains are active, after reading the books that Yang Chendong gave them that can be called "god" books, they have made a lot of things by imitation, and are constantly studying the core technology.

Usually such a person is also regarded as a great talent in the Red Embedded City, and other provinces want such talents in the process of construction, which is not possible even if they are worn out. But this time, in order to develop the Far Eastern State, Yang Chendong finally made a ruthless decision, and he wanted to make good use of these talents, which were worth the sharp blades of thousands of troops.

And once the Far Eastern Prefecture is well developed, with the vast land there, it is enough to reclaim tens of millions of hectares of cultivated land or even more, and how many people can be fed and clothed.

During this time a year ago, Yang Chendong was basically busy with this matter, and he was originally going to go back to Chiji City to accompany a few ladies and his beloved daughter Lele.

During the Chinese New Year, batches of materials and talents also came from Chichicheng to Shicheng. When all the things were prepared, Chen Bo personally went to the logistics division, and selected a complete division from the division commander Yang Si, with 8,000 men from four regiments, and in Yang Chendong's expectations, he took about 500 relevant technicians and some old farmers with sufficient farming experience to embark on the second journey to Siberia.

Not long after Chen Bo left, in early March 1455, the 400,000 troops of the Northern Ming Dynasty set off in two directions, assembled in Datong and Xuanfu respectively, and then went straight to Wara.

The situation between the grasslands also became extremely tense at this moment, Yang Chendong had to stay in Shicheng again, he had to watch the two sides fight first, and it was best to fight an intractable one, so that he could leave the starting city with confidence and return to Chiji City.

Yang Chendong's stay, the new First Army and the first division of the world's cavalry were waiting for them, and the city of Shicheng, including the Mobei city that had just built the outer city wall, was indeed very calm, and there were always some Han people or grassland people who came to Shicheng to escape the war every day.

As long as you make sure that you don't have any problems, there are many places to go besides Chichiseong, such as Laos and Vietnam, which are already very stable, Cambodia, Luzon, and North Korea, and the Far Eastern State, which is still in need of a large number of people. In a word, as long as you are willing to endure hardships and contribute to your efforts, there will always be a suitable position for you, and you can truly achieve that everyone has food, everyone has work, and everyone has a job.

At the time, it was not an easy task. The people of the grassland don't need to say much, under the perennial fighting, in their eyes where is not so safe, the people of the Ming Dynasty are the same, after being divided into north and south, the two Ming are constantly accumulating strength, in anticipation of the moment of unification, for this civil tax continues to increase, the people can be said to be miserable, whether it is farming or business, most of the income is to be paid, and even the year is worse, that is, even this heavy tax can not be paid.
