Daming Military Empire

Chapter 686 Build a railway that runs through the Americas

Early the next morning, Zhao Mingfeng was ready to take the man back, but despite Chief Aqina's kindness to persuade him to stay, he still politely declined.

There is no way, he still has too many tribes to visit, and if he has to delay for a few days in each tribe, he may not be able to complete his task for several years.

For this reason, he also specially asked Chief Azina to help spread the word to the nearby small tribes, lest he have to go to every small tribe.

This is also a very simple matter for Chief Aqina. He immediately shouted and called a group of soldiers over. After a few instructions, the soldiers dispersed and went on the road to help Zhao Mingfeng go to a nearby small tribe to spread the glory of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. went.

Afterwards, Chief Azina took a dozen warriors and sent them out of the tribe.

Zhao Mingfeng originally thought it was a polite farewell, but when he came to the prairie outside the tribe, Chief Aqina suddenly proposed to go on the road with them, Jinshan City to see!
Well, this is a good thing, Zhao Mingfeng naturally has no reason to refuse.

The people of the Indian tribes are good at this, they can leave as soon as they say, and they don't need to bring food, tents or the like.

When you are hungry, there are a lot of prey on the grassland. If you kill a few of them at will, you can have a big meal. When you are tired, you can just lie down on the grass. The sky is the quilt, the ground is the bed, and the sleep is very sweet!

Even Zhao Mingfeng was used to traveling like this, and now they didn't bring food, grass or tents every time they came out, and each of them brought a thick cloth blanket and two cooking pots, and everything was settled.

Along the way, the relationship between Chief Azina and Zhao Mingfeng has improved by leaps and bounds. The so-called familiarity once, it is easier to get closer to each other after staying together for a day or two.

He hasn't traveled far for a long time. The feeling of galloping in the wind, hunting in the grassland, and having a picnic by the small river makes him very excited. Coupled with Ming's fine wine and various spices and seasonings, he can eat a few delicious picnics , he has already started calling Zhao Mingfeng brothers and sisters.

Still camping on the grassland for one night, the next afternoon, Chief Aqina, Zhao Mingfeng and his party finally arrived at Jinshan City.

As soon as he saw the city wall of Jinshan City, Chief Aqina almost stared out his eyes.

It's so spectacular, it's simply too spectacular. There are five or six people stacking up the city wall as high as it is. How could he not be taken aback by the fact that the city wall of the city was actually a masterpiece of man-made.

You know, at this moment, on the American continent, the Indians can only build a mud house with a height of three or four people at most, which can only be built by the chiefs of large tribes, and the size is at most a few tens of feet.

The city wall over there is not only terrifyingly high, but also terrifyingly long. It is almost like a mountain range in front of you. Such a majestic city wall was built by people. The Ming Dynasty is really amazing!
At this time, the construction of Jinshan City has almost been completed. The roads in the city are vertical and horizontal, and all kinds of houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the road. It is also impossible to see the edge at a glance. There are also various factories, which are big and scary. The steel-making blast furnace, water tower, large boiler room and other buildings simply give people a feeling of towering into the sky. Chief Aqina is just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and the exclamation never stops.

Since the immigration has not yet started, most of the shops on both sides of the street are still empty at this moment, only the huge branch of the Daming Royal Store is open for business, and most of the people who shop inside are Indians from nearby tribes.

Of course, they mainly came to see it. After all, the factories had just been built, and large-scale recruitment of workers had not begun. The Ming army had not started building railways, and there were not many Indians with the currency of the Ming Empire.

However, this can't stop their enthusiasm. There are so many good things that they have never seen before. If you don't buy them, just look at them to satisfy your curiosity.

At this time, the major royal firms were recruiting some Indians from the Seattle Tribe as shop assistants. Now they are not mainly responsible for selling things, but introducing various products.

They also work while training, constantly explaining the functions or usage of various products, which is actually memorizing the training knowledge. Sometimes they really can’t remember, so they have to ask a translator to ask the shopkeeper.

At this time, an interesting phenomenon also appeared. Because the Tianxiong Army, the Zhongyong Army and the three vassal army groups were basically stationed outside the city, the streets were full of strange Indians, and this place seemed to be a city of Indians. up!
Seeing the Indians full of eyes, Chief Azina couldn’t help but be surprised again. The Great Ming Dynasty really regarded the Indians as its own people. I didn’t see the army standing on the city wall, or even living outside the city. There is no one to control them, and they are allowed to wander freely, looking around strangely.

Of course, this is just an appearance, no matter what Lu Xiangsheng will not be so negligent, the major factories are guarded, and Indians cannot enter without someone leading them. As for the streets, those who just wander around quietly Most of them are Indians pretending to be Ming army and Jinyiwei spies. After all, this is the Ming army base, so how could there be no precautions at all.

When Zhao Mingfeng came to Jinshan City, he had no time to accompany Chief Azina. He just took Chief Azina to meet Lu Xiangsheng, and then let the warriors of the Seattle tribe take Chief Azina around. Live, the Seattle tribe will naturally not treat the chief of the big tribe badly.

In this way, Zhao Mingfeng kept visiting various Indian tribes along the railway line. More and more Indian tribes agreed with the Great Ming Dynasty, and more and more Indians came to Jinshan City. When the steel plant was officially put into operation, the first batch of track After it was manufactured, the first railway in the American continent was finally officially started.

According to their careful investigation, the British colony is about [-] miles away from Jinshan City. This railway is equivalent to crossing the entire American continent, and the amount of work can be imagined.

According to the normal progress, even if the three vassal state legions go all out to build the railway, it is not bad if they can advance thirty miles a day. After all, the railway is not only about laying the tracks on the ground, but also digging the roadbed and quarrying the landfill. Also make cement sleepers.

Fortunately, at this time, the Indian tribes along the railway had been gradually attracted by Zhao Mingfeng. As soon as they heard that the Ming Empire was going to build a railway, transport troops and supplies to deal with the demons on the east coast, they immediately mobilized all of them to help!

Although they don't know how to lay railways, they still know how to dig and transport stones. There is no problem in carrying water and soil, transporting sand, or even mixing concrete, as long as someone takes it with them.

Although the population of the Indian tribe is not very large, people from the nearby tribes have come here. The 30 people are definitely more than [-]. They almost cover all the simple physical work. The three vassal state legions only need to fill the roadbed and lay the railway.

In this way, the progress of the railway is not thirty miles a day, but fifty or sixty miles a day. According to this progress, the Ming army can repair the railway to the east coast in just over a month.

Of course, the Ming army didn’t just build railways. They also built bastions and large cities in strategic locations and areas where Indian tribes were concentrated. They didn’t just come to clean up the British. The key point was to turn this place into a colony!
