The horse's hooves stepped on the hard ground, and the iron palms on the soles of their feet made a crisp sound. Hongniang discovered that there were almost always such roads along the way. Seeing Hongniang's strangeness, Zhang Lihua explained with a smile: "

After the Governor took over the power, the situation in Yizhou and Luzhou was slightly stable, so he vigorously built various roads, water conservancy and other facilities in the controlled area. The Governor said that when fighting with the Mongolian army, they had the benefits of cavalry, and our mobility was far away.

It is better to repair the road and build a good road that can carry the operation of the army no matter the weather, so as to ensure that we can

The troops were quickly mobilized, so in recent years, all regions under the Northern Governor's Office have listed this one as the top priority. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau, which is under the General Administration, coordinated the management. To be honest, the road has been repaired, but in the past few years, the Northern Governor's Office has been

Victory successively, these types of use are rare for military purposes, but they have benefited the villagers. With these roads, it is much more convenient for traveling or going to the market. Many officials also sighed that they had known this before.

, so he shouldn't spend money on it, but the governor retorted that the benefit of the people is the greatest benefit."

Zhang Lihua seemed very excited about the achievements of the Governor's Office in the past few years, "There are also these ditches that ensure the benefits of irrigation for the farmers' farming. With these ditches that are crisscrossing, but they are not afraid of floods and droughts.

General, you haven't seen it yet. In every county, we have built large artificial lakes to store water."

The northern part of the country has always known that the Hongniang has been short of water, but when he saw such a huge project, he couldn't help but say: "How much financial resources do you need to do it?" As the Hongniang, the commander of the First Army, the head of the army, knows that the firewood and rice are expensive.

, naturally, knows that the expense of maintaining a huge army is an astronomical figure, so she couldn't sleep at night. At that time, what she thought day and night was to ensure the army's military, military equipment, and food, and never thought about it.

Invest huge amounts of money to do these things!

"The investment in the early stage was very large! But my governor was very powerful. Two years ago, after the governor obtained the right to mint coins by himself, our Northern Army began to mint coins by himself. Now, the sixteen states in the north use our copper coins,

Even the Mongolian Yuan also uses our copper coins!" Zhang Lihua laughed, "It's strange to say. It's obviously an enemy, but they have to use our money. I don't understand the twists and turns in it.

, But I heard that when our coins flowed into Yuandi within one year and became common coins, the then Director of the Finance and Finance Department, Ma Yigong, almost burst into laughter. If one of the subordinates hadn't seen the opportunity,

Chief Ma went to see the King of Hell. This is a big joke on us!"

Yan Miaomiao naturally didn't understand these things. But something that made Ma Yigong so excited must be a great thing, "Maybe, this is related to plundering wealth," she guessed.

"It seems to be right!" Zhang Lihua didn't care much about this matter," Chief Ma seemed to have told the governor excitedly that in this way, we would become richer and richer, while the Mongolian Yuan would become poorer until we were poor

They can’t afford to buy arms!”

The three-eyed tiger didn't care much about these things, and pointed to the village in the distance and said, "Zhang Lihua, I always think these villages are a bit weird!"

Zhang Lihua glanced and nodded, "Tiger Master is so good. The places we pass by now are all areas on the border. When the Mongolians entered, there were more than one in ten locals, which was very miserable. Later, we took them back

When we came back, in order to enrich the population, we began to immigrate to these places in large numbers. These villages were built in a unified manner. Hu Ye thought it was strange because these villages had very high walls. At that time, we were considered to be in danger, and no one else could do it.

I don’t know when Mengren will call him again and what to use to resist after he calls. When building these villages, he moved all the houses together, and surrounded the walls outside.

If a person calls, once the gate is closed, it will be a fortress. It can withstand a period of time to wait for reinforcements to minimize casualties. This is from outside. If you enter inside, the tiger will be surprised. This wall

Inside, a wide ditche was dug and filled with water. It can be used to irrigate the surrounding farmland. In wartime, it was a moat. In fact, there was a shorter wall inside, which was built on the edge of the ditche.

, but these were spontaneously repaired by the villagers later. The border residents on the border were very hard, so everyone didn't mind building their homes firmly. The Governor's Office did not spend any money on these."

Hong Niang said thoughtfully: "These fortresses based on villages, plus the militia you usually train, when people are really invaded, these places can become fortresses one by one, so that people can use them to

I am afraid that I can’t get it if I fight in.”

"General Yan said it." Zhang Lihua nodded and said, "But as our Northern Army won one after another, the Mongolians killed each other again, now we have the upper hand. These things are useless, but they have become a man of a kind.

The scenery is here!"

Hong Niangzi stopped the horses and looked at the roads, ditches, wheat fields, and villagers working in the fields. She finally knew where she was and Yun Zhao were! She thought in a daze that if she gave herself another chance, maybe she

Can do better.

Seeing the thoughtful look of Hong Niangzi, Zhang Lihua whispered: "General Yan, General Yan!"

The Hongniang's body shook slightly, woke up from her thoughts, and lifted the horse's reins, "Let's go, how far is this place from Jian Pass?"

"It's not far away. If the horse gallops fast, it will arrive in three or five hours. As for our speed, we will have to wait until the evening."

"Then let's go quickly. We have not seen Yun Zhao for a long time. We must have missed him very much. I also thought about that guy. I haven't seen him for many years. When we broke up, he was still a bandit like me.

When they met again, he was already the governor of tens of thousands of troops and several states who controlled the territory." Sanyan Hu laughed and said, "It seems that I am going to benefit from him."

"Three-eyed Tiger, what are you talking about?" The boss's pink face turned red and spat on the Three-eyed Tiger fiercely, "I'll tear your bad mouth apart again!"

Three-eyed tiger laughed, "The head of the family, men and women love each other, what's the shame of being embarrassed about?" That's what he said, but he quietly strangled the horse and stopped himself to make him stop to make the lady of Hong.

A little further away, sure enough, a black light flashed in front of me. The Hong Madam had already put the long whip on her waist in her hand at some point, and then she hit her with a sudden whip. However, the three-eyed tiger had a foresight, so the whip naturally swept it.

One empty.

Amid the three-eyed tiger's smug laughing, the Hongniang whipped the horse's thigh with a backhand, and the war horse neighed and rushed forward along the straight road.

There were more and more soldiers seen along the way, most of which were similar to the clothing of the villagers' reserves I had seen before, but everyone was equipped with weapons, and more were driving ox carts, horse carts, etc., all filled with them.

Some people are moving towards Jian Pass, and some have unloaded supplies and are walking back. Everyone looks very relaxed on their faces, and there is no tension in the battle. The road is built very quickly, and everyone is leaning on the right in an orderly manner.

Driving ensures the smooth road to the greatest extent.

There were more and more people and cars on the road, and Hongniangzi and others had to slow down and mixed in the crowd to move forward slowly. Hongniangzi and Zhang Lihua and others rode a good war horse, but they didn't seem to be Zhengbei.

The soldiers of the army made the reserves along the way look at them curiously, and many people even held the hilt tightly on the knife. This was also Zhang Lihua's carelessness. When she came from Luzhou, she should bring her.

The soldiers stationed in Luzhou were guarded by the soldiers stationed in the Northern Army. At that time, Zhang Lihua thought that she had reached her territory, and their group had excellent military power, so why should anyone protect her?

Sure enough, at a fork in the road, I found the door.

There are three roads here, and there is a renovated flat ground next to it. A large number of ox, carriages and carriages are parked. Next to it, more than ten military tent doctors were erected, and more than a hundred soldiers were holding knives and guns, and were on guard. Through this place

Everyone needs to go to a tent to apply for a sign that allows passage. When they saw the fierce people of this group of people running towards them, they immediately rang out sharp whistles, and more than a hundred soldiers quickly gathered together.

Several officers in the tent rushed out like flying.

"Stop and be inspected!" The officer stood in the road without fear, stretched out his hand, blocking the way Hong Niangzi and others. He was naturally not afraid. At this time, there were more than a hundred soldiers waiting for him.

, These are brave men who have experienced many battles, and there are thousands of reserve soldiers gathered in the open space next to them.

Zhang Lihua turned over and dismounted, walked towards the officer, and whispered to him. The officer looked at her with a little surprised expression, questioned a few words, and stretched out a hand, as if asking her for something.

Not far away, Hongniangzi, Sanyan Hu and others did not dismount. Looking at Zhang Lihua's appearance, Sanyan Hu whispered: "No, is the officer asking for bribes from Zhang Lihua? If you don't give me some, you won't let me go.

Let's go, isn't Zhang Lihua the general of the Northern Army?"

"What nonsense!" The Hong Madam gave him a cold look. But she felt a little disappointed, afraid that in the eyes of these officers of the Northern Army, she was an outsider!

"I am Zhang Lihua, the general of the Rival Office of the General of the North Army!" Zhang Lihua took out the sign from his body and handed it to the officer, "Behind me is the important guest that the governor wants to meet."

After checking the waist card and confirming it, the officer saluted Zhang Lihua, "Jia Yun, the first halberd captain under the Anqing Camp of the Northern Army, met General Zhang. May I ask General Zhang, may I have a pass?"

"Pass" Zhang Lihua was stunned for a moment, "We came from Luzhou, and I don't know if we still need a pass to go to Jianguan, Jia Xiaowei. Do you know who is behind me? Please let the road open."

Jia Yun shook his head firmly, "General Zhang, sorry, the order I received was that no one could pass here without a pass. There was a war zone ahead, a military restricted area. Without a pass, I cannot let it go."

Zhang Lihua looked back at Hongmao and said patiently: "I know, but can I be compatible? Behind me is the person that the governor wants to meet immediately."

"No!" Jia Yun shook his head like a rattle, "General Zhang is also a soldier. He should know that the military orders are like a mountain. If I let the general pass by at this time, I will not be able to hang my head on the flagpole here."

Zhang Lihua looked at him angrily. She was from the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the special work she was engaged in, and she was eager to follow the power of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of

As a soldier, she was really helpless, and she knew the military discipline of the Northern Army.

Helplessly, she glanced at Jia Ge, "Can you send someone to ride a fast horse and go to the governor's central army camp to inform you."

"I can only send someone to repay my boss." Jia Yun said seriously. "You can only wait here before you get confirmation there."

Zhang Lihua stomped her feet, "Okay, hurry up, so you can free up a tent immediately and let the distinguished guests behind me take a break here. This is OK!"
