Chapter 2646 Horse-drawn Train

The army of tiger flags in Fuzhou did not mean to go north. It just swept a few villages of Jurchens near Gaizhou, and then steadily occupied the area and stopped going north.

But this was just that the tiger-shaped flag soldiers in Fuzhou did not conduct too many military operations, and materials were constantly transported to Fuzhou from Lushun and Jinzhou.

Just in the direction of Denglai, we also continuously transport supplies to Lushun through sea routes.

Of course, the action of such a large tiger flag can naturally be hidden from the people in Gaizhou.

Huang Taiji was so anxious to increase his troops to Gaizhou because of a series of actions by the tiger flag in Lushun and other places.

On the grassland, close to Yinshan area.

A cavalry team of hundreds of people appeared nearby.

Yinshan has many workshops with the tiger flag, and there are rich mineral resources here, which ensures the workshop's demand for iron ore.

Not only is there an iron ore here, but there is also a copper mine. The Tiger Flag Casting and Cannon Factory often uses some copper to cast cannons.

The workshops in Lingqiu were originally moved to Yinshan many years ago and expanded many times. Every day, a large number of soldiers were transported out of these workshops and sent to several combat garrison areas.

"Lord, our workshop can now meet all the fire guns and cannons needed in the army, and cannons with larger sizes cannons, but because they are too heavy and are not suitable for movement, they can only be used to defend the city for the time being." Huang Chong spoke.

He has always been on the logistics workshop line. Over the years, he has been managing various workshops.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years. If it weren't for these workshops, our soldiers wouldn't be able to use the best quality and performance armor everywhere." Liu Heng praised.

In the era of war, everything must serve the army, and the role of the Arsenal in logistics is the most direct and important, because it can directly affect the combat effectiveness of an army.

Huang Chongxiao said, "These are all things that subordinates should do."

After so many years, he has a high position in the tiger flag. With the current situation of the tiger flag, he is now very satisfied.

Many years ago, he would never have thought that he would have today's status. The tiger-shaped flag would have its current size, and it was even a short distance from the imperial palace in the capital.

Outsiders may not know it, but as a senior official inside the Tiger Banner, he knew very well that as long as Liu Heng was willing, the Tiger Banner army could enter the Ming Dynasty's palace at any time.

"Let's go and check out our railway first." Liu Heng greeted.

This time he came to the grassland, his main purpose was to see the railway built by the tiger flag.

Huang Chong walked ahead and led the way, all the way to a place very close to the mine, and built a railway to various workshops here.

"This is the railway built according to your proposal by your lord." Huang Chong introduced to Liu Heng.

Seeing the railway in front of him, Liu Heng pursed his lips vigorously.

Although it cannot be compared with the railways in later generations, it has a bit of appearance. More importantly, there are railways. He believes that in the future, the tiger flag will have more things that transcend the times.

Of course, the railway in front of us is not counted. After all, there is no steam engine and can only be replaced by horsepower, but the time cost has been greatly shortened in transportation.

"Railways cannot be used only in mines and workshops, but other places must also be built, such as between Qingcheng and Datong. If there is such a railway, it can shorten the time spent on the road for merchants and create greater value." Liu Heng said to Huang Chong.

Although the railway construction consumes a lot, Liu Heng feels that some important places should be built on the railway, even if the tiger flag is used to tighten the belt for a few years, it is worth it.

Huang Chong said: "Building a railway is OK, but it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It is probably difficult to complete with just a few workshops."

"The workshop has its own main business. You can set up a separate department for railway construction. As for manpower, you can draw some craftsmen from the workshop and get more prisoners to join in. The material problem will be solved by the workshop. As for the required silver, you can go to Zhao Yutu to apply." Liu Heng said.

Zhao Yutu in the team said in time: "Don't worry, lord, our logistics department will do its best to support it."

Liu Heng saw with his own eyes that the carriage pulled the carriage and ran on the railway, then went to various workshops and returned to Qingcheng.

In Qingcheng, there are some Mongolians who need him to meet him.

Just when Liu Heng was in Qingcheng, the first war zone began to take action, and all the soldiers and divisions entered a state of combat readiness. The army was no longer on holidays, and all the soldiers who visited relatives and returned home were summoned back.

At the same time, a large amount of supplies began to be transported to Xuanfu.

In the imperial palace in the capital, Chongzhen received news that the tiger flag had started a war between Fuzhou and the slave thieves.

Chongzhen, who learned about this news, made an exception and drank a pot of wine at noon.

In his opinion, the tiger flag went to war with slave thieves in Fuzhou, which was a great thing for the Ming Dynasty, and it was very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Although he didn't understand why the tiger-shaped flag took such a step, he was happy to see that the tiger-shaped flag and the slave thief were both injured, so that the Ming Dynasty could benefit the fisherman.

In the capital, not only Chongzhen was happy, but many ministers and nobles in the court also celebrated the tiger flag at home to make such a dazed move.

Originally, they were worried that the tiger flag would use troops to Northern Zhili after taking Shandong, but at that time, the nobles who belonged to the Ming Dynasty would probably lose their century-long foundation and even become prisoners of the tiger flag.

After all, the policy of the Tiger Flag is not friendly to them.

Now that the Tiger Flag is fighting against slave thieves in Fuzhou, they can rest assured that at least the Tiger Flag will not attack Beizhili in a short period of time.

They admit that the tiger flag has some strength, but they do not think that the tiger flag has the ability to fight on both sides.

Many people even thought in their darkness that it would be better to be defeated by slave thieves in Fuzhou, and this way, the tiger singular flag would have no power to send troops to North Zhili.

The entire capital was in Fuzhou because of the news that the tiger flag was fighting with slave thieves, as if the festival had been celebrated, and even the people in the capital celebrated together.

For the people, the tiger-shaped flag is an unforgivable rebel in their eyes, especially in the propaganda of the government, the image of the tiger-shaped flag appears as a villain.

Almost the people in the capital have no favoritism for the tiger-shaped flag.

After all, the people at the bottom of the people who are not sure what the Tiger Flag does outside. The only way they can understand the Tiger Flag is from the government.

It would be even more impossible to expect the government to say good things to the rebels.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent by the Sili Superintendent today."

Wang Chengen asked several eunuchs to put piles of memorials on the table in Chongzhen's office.
