Chapter 84 Three Horses, Railway Army

As expected before, Ma Chao and others came out of Baoji along the way. After passing Tianshui and traveling a hundred miles in Gansu, they had already encountered several waves of bandits in the northwest, and they also handed over a hand. After a devastating charge, they defeated a bandit coalition and killed all the participants with fierce means, and the road was purified.

When we arrived in Dingxi and approached Lanzhou, it gradually became denser and public security began to improve. But as we saw along the way, the mutual hostility between the Han people and the Hui people could be seen everywhere.

Ma Fuxiang and Ma Anliang led their teams to welcome them from afar. Ma Zhanliang was the direct descendant of Ma Zhan'ao and started his family by returning to the northwest. However, the Ma Fuxiang brothers rose to power with their achievements in saving the Lord during the Gengzi turmoil. Although they were of the same clan and the same clan, they were incompatible with each other.

When Ma Chao looked at the two people, he looked bad, "Can you know the crime?"

Huh? Which one is this? Are you trying to show off? The two of them didn't know it, pretending to be in a trepidation and wanted to deal with it, but they didn't want to take it seriously. However, Ma Chao shouted suddenly and pointed at Lanzhou City from afar and said:

"Since you have already devoted yourself to the **, right in this city, there are still remnants of the Qing Dynasty under the eyes of the two. If you don't think about seeking survival in the new dynasty, you will still dare to recruit soldiers and horses under the banner of the Qing army. How do you explain this? Do you believe in the new dynasty or the old master? You might as well make a decision in this sentence!"

Ma Chao's attitude obviously caught the two of them off guard. After receiving the news that Ma Chao entered Gansu earlier, the two found out that there were only more than 2,000 imperial envoys this time, and they did not pay much attention to it. They expected that a team of more than 2,000 people would not cause any trouble in the northwest. Unexpectedly, the newly appointed Gansu was so sharp that they would reveal the situation and not give anyone any time to react.

Just as the two of them were thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of them first, Ma Chao snorted coldly, and had already flew onto the horse, and rushed to Lanzhou City. Everyone was shocked, and they all rushed into Lanzhou City. They all rushed, and they all stumbled and sounded out of their sheaths. But behind the imperial envoy, hundreds of knights whistled together, ignored this side, but followed Ma Chao and rushed towards Lanzhou City, storming in the sky.

The two looked at each other and were extremely surprised at the new Gan Tu. They didn't know what Ma Chao meant. They were dissatisfied with the welcome of everyone. They couldn't say that they had to lead the team to slowly return to the city. Just when everyone was confused on the road, after a cup of tea, they saw thick smoke rising in Lanzhou City from afar, and fires soaring into the sky. Someone from afar rode a horse to report the news.

"What happened to the flag camp in the city, and something big happened!"

The two were shocked and asked in detail. It turned out that the new Gan Du led 300 cavalrymen, horse-strawn flag camp, and the settlement of bannermen in Lanzhou City. After the Xinhai Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of bannermen from all over the country, including more than 3,000 bannermen. The Fuqing army was not unprepared, but was still defeated and chased by this group of wolf-like cavalrymen in the blink of an eye, and rushed into the flag camp to burn and kill. The Lanzhou Manchus who were not affected in the Xinhai Dynasty in the past actually suffered a great disaster in a short while.

"What about Lord Chang Geng? Where is Lord Chief of the Restoration Army?"

Ma Fuxiang immediately asked in shock, and then he stopped automatically before he finished speaking. The head of Lanzhou city was already looking at it. Looking from a distance, the head of the Shaanxi-Gansu Governor of the late Qing Dynasty, Chang Geng, the current head of the Qing army's chieftain, was just hanging on the head, with the helmet unique to the Qing army, and blood was dripping down the neck.

Erma and his two men were in a state of smacking at the same time, looking at each other, then quickly turned their heads. Both of them saw what each other meant: This new Gan Du is a master who is as difficult as Zhang Fei!

...

On the first day of Ma Chao's march into the northwest, he used cruel means to clear the former flag camp. The so-called Revival Army and the Manchus in the city were strangled cleanly at the first time, and tens of thousands of freshly released heads shocked the Han people who had different thoughts in the city.

Subsequently, Ma Chao led a team to inspect all parts of Gansu with only more than 2,000 people, cleared out large numbers of horse bandits and rioters all over the country, massacred tens of thousands of Northwest swordsmen, and used iron and bloody means and amazing combat power to deter the separatists from all over the country. He cleared the chaos in Gansu, rectified public order, and boosted the customs of the northwest. With Ma Chao's team accomplished and returned to Lanzhou, the team of its recruits had expanded to tens of thousands, which made the Northwest forces convinced. Under Ma Chao's yin power, he completely surrendered.

Ganzhou was officially built since then. With the pacification of Gansu Ningxia, the first army of tens of thousands of railway troops who had traveled from Shaanxi, the first army of the Northwest of the semi-people and half-army that had temporarily begun to become the Chinese Empire, officially entered the northwest. Following the Central Plains labor force army that migrated from the Central Plains, opening the prelude to the construction of the western section of the Longhai Railway.

The Railway Army, this institution, naturally imitates the effective construction corps system in the history of modern Chinese time and space, and is also a great innovation. In the northwest, the land is vast and the population is sparse, the industrial foundation is poor, and the social support system is weak. If you want to carry out construction, it is difficult to achieve without a self-contained system and self-sufficiency institution.

The Longhai Line is scheduled to extend from Lanzhou to the west further to Xinjiang. There are many places where people pass by the Gobi Desert and other rarely visited places, with harsh geographical conditions and difficult construction conditions. Only the same organization and training of the army can ensure the effective progress of this construction system. Under such arduous conditions, the local engineering construction companies are not organized enough and it is impossible to complete this task.

This is also the best way that the rulings of the Chinese Empire could come up with on the basis of this era and national conditions. This railway construction not only built transportation infrastructure, strengthened the connection between the northwest border and the mainland, but also promoted the process of large-scale immigration of the surplus labor force in the mainland to the border areas.

In this situation in the Railway Army, the situation of the Railway Army was organized to defeat unorganized, and the logistics to defeat unlimited logistics, which directly consolidated the social situation that had been turbulent for decades in the northwest. Countless people who were difficult to survive in various places had to join in and become part of the Railway Army. The Railway Army passed by, like a snowball, and the number of people increased. It spread the culture and knowledge brought by the mainland everywhere, profoundly affecting the once backward and remote areas of the frontier, and also touched the control of the central government to the frontiers, which were previously unsatisfactory. From then on, it was difficult to form separatist again.

At the same time, in this form, a great team was trained for the empire. All people from all over the world and from different ethnic groups were beaten and tempered in the melting pot of the Railway Army, grinding away impurities, and reshaping them into a brand new person - the Railway Army.
