Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Shouren had no time to take care of the situation in Jinan city. tu>

Now he can only rush towards Beijing as soon as possible.

On the [-]th, he wrote the inscription in the name of the deputy commander-in-chief of the General Conquering Captives. The memorial will lead more than [-] officers and soldiers from Fushan to the north. Bandits.

The reply from the Shangyu arrived in Jinan on the [-]th, and the reply was full of enthusiasm: I see, the cabinet and the Ministry of War sent an order to order the local government to prepare firewood and army rations for the town's soldiers and horses to use along the way, and Zhang Shouren led his troops Hurry up to the capital to offer prisoners to the Taimiao, here we go!

With this decree, it is said that the government along the way should try its best to supply and dare not neglect, but this is not the case. [

Fortunately, in Shandong, Yucheng, Pingyuan, Dezhou, all the way through, only Yucheng has experienced a war, the place is dilapidated, and the supply is weak, but fortunately there is enough army food, and I cook by myself, and I did not wrong the soldiers of Fushan.

If you go to Texas and continue north, it won't work.

First of all, there are not enough masters to hire. Although they are paid, they are far away from the countryside and go out of the province. Many local masters who bring their own mules and horses are unwilling to do it. They are too far away from their hometowns. Traveling a long way, I don't know what to do.And that is to trust the Fushan camp, and change to another camp, no matter how good the promise is, it cannot be done.

After leaving Jinan and Dezhou and arriving at the border of Hebei, they knew that in many matters, Fushanying could not be the master, could not be the master, and Zhang Shouren's official position could not be taken for granted, and his affection was exhausted. At present, there are more than [-]% of his teachers. After asking for enough money, he reluctantly took his own mule or donkey to search for a short-distance business in Texas, and then turned back south.

Without the mules, donkeys and carts, the whole team’s movement is a bit difficult. There are less than [-] horses left in the whole team, more than half of which are war horses. It is the time to lose fat, if you don't take good care of it, if the fat doesn't come back in summer and autumn, the war horse will be useless, so don't be careless.

The Tartars were withdrawing from the mouth, and it was for this reason that no matter how strong he was, he could not go against the sky. If the horses lost all their fat, the fighting power of the Donglu would have to be reduced by half.

From Dezhou to the north, there is the canal route, passing through Cangzhou, Qingxian, and Tongzhou. If you can use tank boats, you can get to Beijing quickly and easily. After all, you can hire boats, one or two hundred boats. Carrying people and pulling things, it saves money and trouble.

At that time, the most important transportation in China was the north-south water transport route from Jiangsu, Songzhou to Beijing.

The rivers in southern Jiangsu are criss-cross, and there are also several large water storages. When you arrive at Yangzhou, go through the canal to Qingjiang in Huai’an, and then to Suqian, all the way north, to Linqing, and then to Tongzhou. The lifeline, materials from the south, are continuously transported to the north through this Grand Canal.

At that time, the northern cities, including Beijing and Tianjin, as well as Dezhou and Kaifeng, relied heavily on the power of canals. It can be said that except for the Yuan Dynasty, which was dominated by sea transportation, from the early Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, canal water transportation was the main force in the Chinese nation. Blood vessel, lifeline.
