Chapter 357 Railway Soldier
The news that Yu Mingjun had occupied the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and built it as a springboard base for marching into Japan soon reached Liu Xia in Luoyang at a speed of 800 miles. Liu Xia immediately instructed Yu Mingjun to operate the Korean Peninsula with peace of mind and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent invasion of Japan. And let it continue to work hard to develop the navy into the most powerful fleet in the world.
As for the train track from Luoyang to Jiaozhou, it has been basically completed, and there is only one Yellow River Bridge to connect the two sides. As long as the Yellow River Bridge is built, it will be able to quickly transport a large amount of manpower and material resources from Luoyang. The speed can definitely go up to several levels. It is also beneficial to the people on both sides of the railway.
For some small rivers on the road, the railway department has built strong bridges. At this time, no one dares to cut corners. Some people in charge even added more cement and steel bars to ensure that the bridge is qualified and strong. If something happens to this bridge, his life will probably not be saved. This is not a big problem. The biggest problem is that his descendants will be ruined.
Of course, where there is food, there are mice, which is absolutely a universally recognized truth in China. However, in the construction of the railway this time, even if there is corruption, it is a small profit.
Seeing that the railway from Luoyang to Jiaozhou is about to be completed, the railway from Luoyang to Xi'an is about to come to an end. For these two railways, Liu Xia recruited a large amount of manpower. Most of the manpower was sent from all the prisons under the Pingbei Army to carry out labor reform. Whoever performs better can shorten the sentence. The original death sentence can be sentenced to life imprisonment, and life imprisonment can be sentenced to life imprisonment. So the prisoners worked very hard and wanted to get out quickly.
Along the railway line, prisoners wearing dirty prison uniforms with bare heads can be seen everywhere, constantly carrying and building railways, working hard and competing to compare.
The railway construction from Luoyang to Xi'an has been basically completed, but it has not yet been opened to traffic, and further inspection is needed.
Luo Chengxian, the chief director of the railway department, came to the study of the royal palace happily and said to Liu Xia, "Your Majesty, our railway from Luoyang to Xi'an has been built. This is a detailed parameter. Now the Institute of Science and Technology has begun to carry out safety testing on the railway once it passes. It can be opened to traffic. In the future, the time to Xi'an will be greatly reduced, and it will be more convenient to transport supplies.
Liu Xia picked up the document handed over by Luo Chengxian, looked at it a few times and said, "Well, you did a good job. Let the people of the Institute of Science and Technology carefully inspect every railway. There must be no bean curd project. Once it is found, it will be seriously dealt with. Never tolerate it. Now that the railway from Luoyang to Xi'an has been built, your railway department has begun to build a railway from Luoyang to Xinyang. After the railway comes out of Luoyang, it turns south from Zhengzhou to Xinyang.
"Zhengzhou?" Luo Chengxian was a little surprised. He didn't know why Liu Xia chose this place. Zhengzhou is just a small county under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion now, which is dilapidated. According to Luo Chengxian's idea, the railway was built to the south of Kaifeng. After all, Kaifeng is the seat of Kaifeng Prefecture and an important place. Kaifeng is also the ancient capital of several dynasties, and the traffic location is also excellent.
"Why doesn't the prince go south of Kaifeng? After all, Kaifeng is the seat of Kaifeng Mansion."
Liu Xia waved her hand casually and said, "You can go back and study it by yourself and make your own decision. The railway should be built to Xinyang as soon as possible, which can also alleviate the embarrassment of the Kui Lang Legion. Although the Central Plains is flat and it is not difficult to transport supplies, it is still too slow. Once Wu Sangui aimed his troops and horses at the Kuilang Legion, we don't have enough time to quickly transport troops and ammunition.
Now Liu Xia has a straight northbound railway in her hand.
"Bear by the way, you also build a Yellow River bridge on Luoyang to Shanxi, then build a railway from Luoyang to Shanxi, and then from Shanxi to Beijing, so that you can also reach the Rosefinch Legion and the Qinglong Legion in Hebei."
Once all the railways that Liu Xia wants are built, whether it is north and south or east and west, and the transportation of military resources will be very fast. Even if Luoyang is in danger, the troops from other places will gather in Luoyang at the same speed. However, the premise is that Liu Xia must send enough troops to protect the safety of the railway.
Now the safety of the railway is guarded by the local garrison, so Liu Xia is worried. A few days ago, there were some people who wanted to destroy the railway. Fortunately, they found it early and arrested those people.
Subsequently, Liu Xia issued a notice that anyone would be sentenced to life or death if the railway was destroyed. Of course, these are not enough, especially the enemy... Yes. Molecular, they are not afraid of your threat at all.
So Liu Xia planned to set up a railway soldier to protect the railway. This is also a bad idea. If the current railway is like in the 21st century, Liu Xia doesn't have to worry about it at all.
"I plan to form three railway soldiers first. The railway soldiers are organized according to the regiment. There should be two to three railway soldiers defending each kilometer of railway distance, and at the same time, there should be an emergency squadron of 50 people every 50 kilometers. A special emergency channel should be built for railway soldiers.
"One of these three railway soldiers defends along the line from Luoyang to Xi'an, one from Luoyang to Jiaozhou, and one from Luoyang to Xinyang. As for the number of people, your railway department will calculate it. The personnel of the railway soldiers will be selected from all the garrison and logistics soldiers. If some of the legions want to become railway soldiers, they can also join. Your railway department will manage the assigned tasks of the railway soldiers for the time being.
After all, the railway soldiers are a new product. As for letting them take off their military uniforms and go to the wanted agents, Liu Xia has not decided yet. However, the task of the railway soldiers is very important. Although they are not as powerful as those field soldiers on the battlefield, they cannot be too weak. Once some outlaws, poles or gangsters come to look for trouble with weapons, they must take them down. If it's for those wanted to do it, it definitely won't work. Liu Xia is very clear about who the agents are. They are all people who retreat from the battlefield. Although they have fought on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness is not very strong because they either injured their hands or their feet during the war.
"These three railway regiments are first under the management of your railway department. You inform the logistics department and ask them to create special clothes for you to distinguish them from the army."
The army, whether it is a field force or a garrison army, is black. As for the exception of special arms such as Ying Yangwei, the navy is also black now and has not changed its color. The Investigators are dressed in red, which is eye-catching and makes people know at a glance that there are law enforcers. As for what clothes the railway soldiers wear, Liu Xia is not going to worry about it, so she let the people of the logistics department do it.
The whole territory of Sichuan, including Chongqing, has also been spent. Liu Xia has continuously increased its support for Li Dingguo, and sent a steady stream of troops, materials and resources, which has greatly increased its strength and began to counterattack against Wu Sangui. Guizhou has become the main battlefield, and there is war everywhere. Li Dingguo's talent is not inferior to Wu Sangui and even much better than Wu Sangui.
Sun Kewang's family was basically ruined by Li Dingguo. At this moment, there were only less than 2,000 horses left. Finally, he fled to Guiyang under the pursuit of Li Dingguo. Sun Kewang had no troops. Wu Sangui was not as good to him as at the beginning. Become a little cold. Sun Kewang naturally also knows what the reason is. Now that his troops are gone, he can only let go of his ambitions and begin to endure humiliation.
"Sooner or later, my grandson will also be on the golden throne and enjoy the worship of all people. Sacrifice to heaven and earth, and go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen!"
Sun Kewang is very unwilling, and Wu Sangui also knows, but now Wu Sangui doesn't want to kill Sun Kewang. That's why Sun Kewang was able to survive, otherwise he would have been secretly executed by Wu Sangui.
Li Dingguo's tossing of Wu Sangui in Guizhou made Wu Sangui have no time to take care of the Kui Wolf Legion. I want to kill Li Dingguo, give Liu Xia a good look, and let Liu Xia support Li Dingguo, and I will give you Li Dingguo's head!
