Lu Sidao: "I don't think my uncle is very confident in the business road to the north?" ”

"It's not his own business. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhang Yansheng smiled: "Your foreign family still has some appeal in the Qingcheng business community, am I right?" ”

"Yes, that's right." Lu Sidao: "The Zhao family is a bit of an identity in Bansheng City, although the Zhao family's old Zhao and Rong misjudged, and the influence of the Zhao family has declined a lot, but after all, it is still a deep-rooted big businessman, and now the Zhao family has moved to Shangyi and Xinghe, and there are also many original Han businessmen who have asked their family about going north, I think they dare not say that they oppose it or say that it can't be done, but they can't believe it in their hearts...... Is the road to Mobei easy to build? ”

"Of course it's not easy." Zhang Yansheng said: "These days we also see the people and soldiers going north, I heard that the road to the Gobi is the most difficult, because hundreds of miles from the Saiyin Mountain are grasslands, deserts, Gobi and other terrain are mixed, the grassland is easy to build roads, to the Gobi and the desert area has to detour, it is impossible to think of a straight road all the way to the north, a bend, it will take a lot of effort." ”

Lu Si showed a faint look of worry on his face, of course he knew that the business community in Qingcheng was hesitant and hesitant, and even secretly didn't believe that the road to Mobei could be repaired, under a thousand years, he had never heard of such a thing!

Indeed, during the Han and Tang dynasties, there were military states in the grassland, and there were military states with garrisons in the prefectures or Tuntian, but it is said that the road is built together with the military states, and even the thousand-mile-long galloping road is something that was not done in the Han and Tang dynasties, but in front of him, He Yusheng announced that it could be done, and even in a short period of time...... The suspicions of the Han merchants are also reasonable, and it is not surprising.

"These things are the worries of the adults of the Military Administration Department, the Quartermaster Department, and the Commerce Department, what do we do with this heart." Zhang Yansheng said heartlessly: "We only care about training and fighting, as long as we keep winning battles, big things are just." ”

"You kid is also a rough learner." Lu Si smiled: "But what you said is quite reasonable. ”

"The one who is close to the ink is black."

"You kid owe a beating, don't you?"

In the midst of laughter, the entire squadron also gathered.

The sky was dark and cloudy, Lu looked at the weather with four eyes, and said to the soldiers: "Hurry up, this squadron was ordered to be transferred to the independent battalion of dragoons, a distance of three hundred and seventy miles, and the military order is limited to two days to arrive, and you have to walk one hundred and sixty miles a day, you all fucking cheer me up!" ”

"Yes, Sergeant Major!"

All the soldiers made a violent promise, the sentry mounted the beam first, the front team was behind, the squadron and the rear team were separated by marching columns, and the whole squadron began to march north.

Zhang Yansheng looked at Lu Si and said with envy: "Your words are so neat and neat, and a little murderous, and the foul language is also reasonable, I can't learn your style." ”

Lu Si sighed and said, "You and I have always been like this? I used to speak more timidly than you, Sven couldn't speak, I didn't study back then, and then I became a soldier and began to read, and I just felt a little Sven, and I ended up falling into the den of thieves in the Lancer Regiment. There, if you don't talk loudly, you will be dumb, if you don't scold people, you will be a waste, and if you don't dare to fight, you will be cowardly, the more people will be bullying you. It's the same when you fight, one has to fight fiercely, a little behind a little timid, up and down are squeezed, you have to squeeze yourself to take the initiative to adjust. I'm a bit resilient, I'm fierce when people are fierce, I dare to rush when people dare to rush, and I dare to kill people slowly......"

Speaking of this, Lu Si also had a little stunned look in his eyes, as if he remembered what happened back then.

"Lancers." Zhang Yansheng looked envious and said, "I really want to understand it." ”

"You've got a chance." Lu Sidao: "I have heard of this training camp, the training is mainly the responsibility of the Military Training Department, the previous Military Training Department was only responsible for training recruits, this next week the command is in charge of the Military Training Division, not only to train recruits, the training of each regiment and battalion The Military Training Department will also give guidance, and continue to be responsible, you want to learn the training of the Lancer Regiment, this time I want to meet you." ”

When Lu Si mentioned Zhou Yao, there was no lack of respect, but there was also no lack of resentment, and even Zhang Yansheng saw a look of panic and fear in his eyes...... As a young soldier in his twenties, Lu Si rarely showed his emotions like this, which made Zhang Yansheng feel curious and a little scared.

The sky is finally snowing, the north wind is howling, the wind continues to strengthen, fortunately, the soldiers are wearing thick cloaks, and the military jackets are also sewn with thick cotton, and most of the soldiers have been stationed in the desert and grassland areas in the past two years.

"It's snowing." Lu Si prepared to patrol the front and back of the team, and finally said to Zhang Yansheng: "Prepare to boil the snow and drink, lie in the snow and sleep, the hard days are still to come." ”

……

"It's snowing."

The eldest girl reached out and brushed her loose hair, which was covered with snowflakes and blocked her vision, she pulled her hair back to her head, and slapped the snowflakes off by the way.

"Well, you go home." Li Mingli's originally fair face had been tanned, and his hands were full of thick calluses, he said: "I want to turn this piece of land before the plot is compacted, and then plant the radishes......

"Okay, drink millet soup at night, fry fish, and you come back early."

"Got it, you have to be careful." Li Mingli looked at the eldest girl, her waist and abdomen were already clearly pregnant, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

"You won't go to the grave later." Li Mingli thought about it, and said to the eldest girl: "Tomorrow, I will go to the store to buy two bundles of paper, and then buy some paper people and paper horses to be burned by my mother-in-law, and I will not go again with empty hands." ”

The eldest girl knew that her husband was worried that the snow would slip, and if he fell on the grave, it would be a big disaster, and she was moved in her heart, but the poor husband and wife would not say those love words that touched each other, only this kind of faint care, which naturally contained the deepest affection.

"It's going to cost you more...... the big girl said quite weakly.

"What do you say?" Li Mingli frowned and said: "My father-in-law is also my grandfather, and he didn't have a good coffin to sleep with him at the beginning, so when life is better in a few years, he will have to make up for it." ”

With tears in her eyes, the eldest girl nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

Li Mingli watched his wife leave slowly with her stomach up, the snowflakes in the sky kept falling, and the light black soil was soon covered with a layer of white, and his wife, who was less than 20 years old, slowly walked on the ridge, walked through several canals, turned from east to west to north and south, and finally walked to the village on the east side of the road.

The sky was dark, cooking smoke was wafting in the distance, and there seemed to be a faint aroma of food wafting over, Li Mingli took a few deep breaths, feeling very hungry in his stomach, but the work in the field was not finished, so he could only endure and continue to work with his hoe.

Li Mingli's family has been moving to this official village for more than two months...... Previously, Cao Shixuan was appointed as the garrison of Guanzhuang, and Li Mingli was called to report to Guanzhuang in advance, but Cao Shixuan went to war with the army, so this Guanzhuang appointed another Han army general with a white flag to come over, Cao Shixuan and his family had to stay in Liaoyang, and did not come out as a garrison of Guanzhuang as they wished.

The Cao family is a member of the fourteenth elder brother, but there is no contradiction with Cao Shi's election as an official...... Cao Zhenyan later entered the customs with the army, and also served as a prefect and Taoist in Shanxi, and later Dolgon fell, the Cao family was not affected, and was transferred to the Son of Heaven as a slave under the identity of Zhengbai's coating...... About Cao Shixuan and Cao Zhenyan were killed at this time and couldn't imagine that the Cao family would be beautiful for nearly a hundred years after that, and it was not until the Yongzheng period that the house was raided, but because of the blessing of misfortune, there was a unique writer Cao Xueqin, otherwise with the identity of the ordinary Baoyi family of the Cao family, who would know them in the future, and who would be idle and bored, to study the family history of the Cao family?

Of course, Li Mingli didn't know these things, he hurriedly said, because Cao Shixuan had greeted Niu Lu Zhangjing of his own banner, and smoothly transferred to this official village near the mouth of the pine tree, which belonged to the Han officer Zhuang of the Zhengbai Banner, from top to bottom was the Han army, and even the garrison to the bottom of the thousand generals, hundreds of generals, all of them were transferred by the Han army, but from the original soldiers have been transferred to Tuntian, and there are Manchurian Niu Lu Zhang Jing and Niu Lu Ezhen under the jurisdiction.

It stands to reason that the garrison is at the same level as Niu Lu, but judging from the current situation, the status of the Han army has further declined a lot.

Li Mingli left the vicinity of Liaoyang, mainly to avoid the increasingly harsh oppression of the Han army, to Songshukou here, I feel indeed a lot looser, after all, close to the front line, the Manchurian masters also took into account the need for appropriate encouragement of the Han army, and the control and oppression of the Han army here is indeed much more relaxed than in the Liaoyang area.

Although the Cao family never came, the life of Li Mingli's family was much easier than in Liaoyang...... It is a pity that Lao Ding's tuberculosis is an incurable disease in this era, and he died of illness shortly after moving here, Li Mingli's family had just moved here not long ago, and the floating wealth was consumed in order to settle down, and there were no acquaintances to borrow, so he could only wrap Lao Ding's body with a reed mat and bury it...... Fortunately, there is a cemetery, not like the original Ming Taizu, the whole family has no size of the land, the ancestors died and there was no place to bury, the suffering of the poor, so that the bones of the ancestors were placed on the road, and they begged someone to bury them underground, which was considered to be poor to the home.

Li Mingli arrived at the official village, as usual, he gave 30 acres of land, and he had to pay a considerable amount of grain to the banner every year, and this kind of official village either had the banners and their coats, and the Han people had to farm the land, or a small number of bannermen and the Han army were the mainstay, and everyone had the task of planting the land and paying the grain.
