No one took this transportation lightly. Even the merchants knew that the responsibility was heavy, not to mention the involvement of courtiers.
Therefore, each section of the track with different ownership has a considerable amount of protective force arranged, and even the exploring horse can be released three miles away.
This was very difficult for the people in the guard camp, as they had to stay behind with a small number of people, disguised as porters, merchants, doctors and even monks.
Fortunately, the track is accompanied by official ethics, so I have learned this well, otherwise it would have been even more difficult. After all, this time it was equipped for combat operations, and everyone in the country and dynasty knew the uniform of the escort battalion.
And the large army can only hang out from a distance...
In fact, when laying the track, they still put their heart into it. They followed the example of a gourd and a cat and a tiger.
It's just the gap in knowledge that prevents them from thinking too carefully.
Just thermal expansion and contraction may cause the entire track to be abandoned, not to mention maintenance and management.
A heavy snowfall a few days ago covered up all possibilities of discovering the problem.
In addition, because of his eagerness for success, he blindly accepted the products from Workshop City...
The standard way of placing goods in Workshop City is to load various items separately. But in order to facilitate the counting of quantities, they placed them directly by category.
A carriage of squatting cannons, a carriage of spirits, and even a carriage of woolen fabrics were all packed in categories. They were loaded in a very orderly manner.
The track sank after bearing pressure, acting on the stones mixed in the ice and snow. Due to the irregular spacing between sleepers and the iron sheeting of the track, the different carrying capacity of each carriage, and the weak foundation, etc., problems finally occurred when the ice and snow melted.
.
Gyeonggi Province is not the south, nor is it purely the north. The role of alternating hot and cold in the track components is not taken into account, which is doomed to the results of these tracks.
The track deformed, causing the carriage to derail. Then, due to poor management, the delivery interval of the carriage was chaotic...
One carriage after another crashed into it...
Who has ever encountered this situation? Those track workers all looked on stupidly, watching the draft horses wailing, watching the carriages hitting each other one after another, and watching the mutual force causing the track to twist or even break...
…
At this time, the entire transport team had just left Gyeonggi Province and had just arrived at Weizhou...
"Whoosh..."
The soldiers of the escort battalion who were accompanying them to monitor quickly sent a signal... The goods in the entire Workshop City, including some merchants' goods, have been completely mixed together...
"The track site is now taken over by the security battalion! The track accident site is now taken over by the security battalion! No one is allowed to approach! No one is allowed to approach, otherwise shoot to death! Shoot to kill!"
The scene has become a mess, with people, goods and horses all crowded together.
The clerk who accompanied the goods had to pack up his own goods, the track party was trying hard to control the injured horse, and the so-called caretakers and guardians... seemed to be coveting the scattered goods.
The scene was extremely chaotic!
"Bang...bang..."
"Everyone leaves the scene of the accident immediately, otherwise we will shoot without mercy!"
The order the escort battalion received when they came was: Use weapons when necessary to ensure that the goods in Workshop City are not lost!
After these years of training, the soldiers in the guard camp have acquired the qualities of professional soldiers. They only have orders in their minds and do not consider anything else.
"Our goods..."
"Go away! No one is taking your goods! Wait for the parties to deal with it. Everyone leaves the scene!"
"Bang...ah..."
If you have many hands, you will naturally be rude.
This shot finally woke up the chaotic people... This is a guard camp, not those thieves' troops.
Look at the idle guy lying on the ground, wailing, holding a musket in his hand... Finally, he slowly moved away from the scene.
"Don't even look at what this is! You actually want to steal a musket?...Bang..."
There is no sound! Even if it is hit directly on the head with iron ball ammunition, how can there be any possibility of survival?
"Everyone should stay three feet away from the scene, otherwise we will shoot and kill!"
At this time, in Fan Lou's box, a banquet was in progress...
Zhao Xi, as always, accompanied his father to handle the memorial.
In fact, he still hoped that nothing would happen. After all, it was the first time to transport it like this, so the damage to these tracks should not be directly reflected. It is very likely that all the problems will be exposed after the completion of this transport.
It's just that he doesn't know clearly, and even if he does, he still can't figure it out: Why do they put the Crouching Tiger Cannon at the front to transport it?
"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the track..."
"Ah? Track? Where is the track?"
"Hebei Road, the track that transports goods from Workshop City deformed an hour ago, causing the entire convoy to collide and the goods scattered all over the place. The security battalion has taken control of the scene!"
Zhao Zhen finally calmed down and recovered from the shock of the first sentence.
Why wasn't Xi'er surprised? Could it be...that even if Xi'er had intentions, her companion would tell him the truth.
"Guan family, something happened to the track..."
The princes did not let the chamberlain inform them at all, and broke into the Chui Gong Hall directly.
Seeing the stunned father and son... this was also news.
Fu Bi glanced at Zhao Xi twice...not happy, but indeed sad. His Highness probably wasn't doing anything.
But, why did the escort camp appear in the first place?
"Guan family, I kindly request that His Royal Highness the Prince Enzhun go with us to deal with it."
As there was no other way, the security battalion took control of the scene. His Royal Highness had to go there in person, otherwise no one would be able to suppress it.
Zhao Xi returned to the East Palace, carrying a large package when he returned...
"My dear sirs, the winter is cold and severe, and the accident will not be solved in a short time. This is a newly produced woolen cloak..."
No one was being pretentious at this time.
It seems that Zhao Xi took the lead in handling this matter. No one said anything and just followed Zhao Xi. But Zhao Xi actually came to the starting station of these tracks...
"Your Highness..."
There's something wrong with the track, so what's the use of coming to this departure station?
"The track ahead should be fine, so we can get to the accident scene quickly."
The idlers surrounded were pointing and pointing, feeling quite uncomfortable. Zhao Xi did not continue to be polite and directly boarded a carriage that was originally intended for shipment...
It was a passenger car, and it was supposed to be shipped, but the moment they heard the accident on the track, people all got off the car and were shouting for refunds.
"Your Highness, why did the guard camp appear in the first place?"
This issue must be clarified, otherwise there will be too many disputes about this matter.
"Prime Minister Fu, gentlemen, there are nearly 20,000 soldiers guarding and maintaining the Xiangzhou-Bianliang Line and light track. How many people are on duty for these track safety?"
"When shipping goods from Workshop City, involving guns and artillery, in addition to the necessary camouflage, there are twice as many soldiers responsible for security accompanying the transport team. How many people are there on these tracks?"
"This is the first time I'm responsible for transporting goods in Workshop City. How can I safely put guns and guns in danger? This is a secret of the country!"
The reason is ready, and this is indeed Zhao Xi's original intention of arranging the escort camp to accompany him. Asking this? It is not the core at all.
