Siberia is slowly warming up in July, and Manjingwei is already warm as spring. The ice of the river of Gratitude has long melted, and the snow in the Chengzong Mountains has almost melted. The entire ward is full of transplanted pines and cypresses, full of greenery.

At this time, the railway was just in progress to Manjingwei, and trucks of cement, steel, food, and supplies were transported continuously. The six legions of the vassal states were already in full swing.

They were mainly building the city walls. The walls of the original garrison have long been completely renewed, and a circle of higher walls have begun to be built around the garrison. The entire valley has been included, and the farthest has even been built on the bank of the River of Gratitude.

There are also some people who are building bridges under the command of the Ministry of Works. The River of Gratitude is not very wide in this section, and the widest place is less than 500 steps, and there are many sandbanks in the middle, so it is not very difficult to build the bridge.

The thick piers had already lined up in a straight line and extended to the other shore. Various steel beams and steel frames had already piled up on both sides of the shore. The Beihai Fleet's pathfinding fleet had arrived. Everyone was working together to lift the steel frames and prepare to pour concrete.

Unlike the scene that was so busy outside, the former Manjing Guard's garrison was solemn and dignified. The current garrison had been transformed into a cemetery. The original buildings had almost been demolished, leaving only a few rows of military camps around for the soldiers guarding the tomb to live in.

In the middle of the cemetery, there is a huge bluestone square. A statue several feet tall stands in the center of the cemetery. The soldiers who cleaned the cemetery looked so small in front of him.

This is the statue of the Taifu Sun Chengzong. He stood with a sword in his garrison, looking at the West, as if telling the invaders: Those who offend our China will be punished even if they are far away!

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and Yang Zhong, who arrived in advance, were worshiping under the statue.

Lu Xiangsheng took the lead in lighting a handful of incense, bowed respectfully three times, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and finally inserted the incense into the incense burner seriously.

When Cao Wenzhao and Yang Zhong inserted the incense into the incense burner, he said seriously: "The construction speed of the emperor's palace and bridge must be accelerated. Wenzhao, you go and supervise it. In addition, a row of forts must be built on the city wall near the river. This is our rear. The emperor also needs to take charge of the command here. Security must be done well. Weihan, you should be responsible for this."

Upon hearing this, Cao Wenzhao and Yang Zhong quickly clasped their fists to respond, and then turned around and quickly arranged for him.

At this time, the millions of troops had not arrived yet, and the trains were mainly used to transport supplies. If everyone came by train, it would take more than ten days for nearly one million troops to carry forty trains back and forth. In addition, food, supplies would probably not be completed in half a month. So Lu Xiangsheng simply ordered all the soldiers to march and come over.

This is a bit harder, but it doesn’t waste much time. If you don’t have to carry food, grass and supplies, the marching speed is still very fast, and you can get there in five or six days.

As for Zhu Cijiu, he naturally had to wait until everything was ready before coming over. He was the one who came to command a million troops to go to war, rather than commanding people to build bridges and city walls.

Six days later, except for the First Corps of the Imperial Guards, all the corps arrived on time, and the entire Sunjiazhou New City was immediately crowded with people.

Eight days later, the railway bridge on the River of Gratitude was finally completed. The legions of six vassal states and 100,000 Liaodong Tunwei immediately rushed across the River of Gratitude like a tide and quickly built the railway westward.
Chapter completed!
