Chapter 68: Building the Railroad through America

The next morning, Zhao Mingfeng was about to take people back. Although Chief Azina repeatedly tried to keep him, he tactfully declined.

There is no way, he still has too many tribes to visit, and he has to delay each tribe for a few days. His mission will probably not be completed in a few years.

For this reason, he also specially asked Chief Azina to help promote to the nearby small tribes, so as not to have a trip for each small tribe.

This was also a very simple thing for Chief Azina. He immediately shouted and called a group of soldiers over. After giving a few instructions, the soldiers scattered on their way to help Zhao Mingfeng go to the nearby small tribe to promote the glory of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Then, Chief Azina brought about a dozen warriors and sent them out of the tribe.

Zhao Mingfeng originally thought it was a polite farewell, but when he came to the prairie outside the tribe, Chief Azina suddenly proposed to go on the road with them and take a look at Jinshan City!

Well, this is a good thing, and Zhao Mingfeng naturally has no reason to refuse.

This is the case for the Indian tribes. They leave at will, and they don’t need to bring food tents or anything else.

If you are hungry, there are a lot of prey on the grassland. You can eat a lot by hunting a few at will. When you are tired, you will lie on the grass. The sky is like a quilt and the ground is like a bed. You sleep very sweetly!

Even Zhao Mingfeng was used to traveling like this. Now they don’t bring food or tents every time they come out. Each of them brings a thick cloth blanket and a two-pot and everything will be solved.

The relationship between Chief Azina and Zhao Mingfeng has made rapid progress along the way. As the saying goes, it is said that they are familiar with each other again and again. Staying together for a day or two will make it easier to get closer.

He hadn't gone far for a long time. He was running in the wind, hunting on the grassland, and having a picnic next to the river. He was so excited. With the Ming Dynasty's fine wine and various spices and seasonings, he had already started to call Zhao Mingfeng a brother.

They camped on the grassland for one night. The next afternoon, Chief Azina and Zhao Mingfeng and their group finally arrived in Jinshan City.

As soon as he saw the walls of Kingsoft City, Chief Azina almost glared away his eyes.

It was so spectacular, so spectacular. There were five or six people stacking the walls as high as the height of the city. The continuous walls were so long that they could not see the edges at both ends. The feeling was even more imposing than the mountains. The continuous walls were actually artificial masterpieces, so how could he not be surprised?

You know, at this moment, on the American continent, Indians only built a dirt house three or four people high, which had to be built by the chiefs of the large tribe, and the size was only a few dozen feet in size.

It is like this city wall, not only terrifyingly tall, but also terrifyingly long. It is as flat as a mountain range. Such a majestic city wall was built by people. The Great Ming Dynasty is indeed amazing!

At this time, Jinshan City had almost been built. The roads in the city were crisscrossing, and various houses were neatly arranged on both sides of the road, and there were also various factories, which were all scary. They were all very big and scary, such as steelmaking blast furnaces, water towers, large boiler rooms, etc., which gave people a feeling of being soaring into the sky. Chief Azina was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, and his amazement never stopped.

Since immigration has not started yet, most of the shops on both sides of the street are still empty at this time, only the huge semicolon of the Royal Business of the Ming Dynasty opened their doors, and most of the people who were shopping in it were Indians from nearby tribes.

Of course, they mainly look at it. After all, the factories have just been built and have not started to recruit workers on a large scale. The Ming army did not start building railways. There were not many Indians with the currency of the Ming Empire.

However, this does not stop their enthusiasm. There are so many good things they have never seen before. If you don’t buy them, you can satisfy your curiosity even if you look at them.

At this time, major royal businesses were recruiting Indians as clerks from Seattle tribes. Their main responsibility is not to sell things, but to introduce various products.

They also work while training, constantly explaining the functions or usages of various products, and are actually memorizing training knowledge. Sometimes they really can't remember it and have to ask the mentor to ask the shopkeeper.

An interesting phenomenon occurred now. Because the Tianxiong Army, the Zhongyong Army and the three vassal legions were basically stationed outside the city, and the streets were filled with strange Indians, and this place seemed to have become an Indian city!

Seeing the Indian Chief Azina who was full of eyes, I was shocked again. The Great Ming Dynasty really treated the Indians as their own people. I didn't see the army standing on the city wall or even living outside the city. No one in the city came to control them at all, and let them wander around and watch everywhere.

Of course, this is just an appearance. No matter how Lu Xiangsheng is, he will not be so careless. There are people guarding the major factories, and no one can lead the Indians in. As for the streets, most of the Indians who are just wandering around are Indians pretending to be secretly sparsely by the Ming army and the Jinyiwei Spy. After all, this is a Ming army base, so how could there be no precautions?

When Zhao Mingfeng came to Jinshan City, he had no time to accompany Chief Azina. He just took Chief Azina and Lu Xiangsheng to meet, and then asked the soldiers of the Seattle Tribe to take Chief Azina around. As for food and accommodation, the Seattle Tribe naturally would not treat the chief of the large tribe unfairly.

Zhao Mingfeng kept visiting various Indian tribes along the railway. More and more Indian tribes recognized the Ming Dynasty, and more and more Indians came to Jinshan City. After the steel mill was officially put into production and the first batch of tracks were manufactured, the first railway on the American continent was finally officially started.

According to their careful investigation, the British colony was about 2,000 miles away from Kingsoft City. This railway was equivalent to crossing the entire American continent. The project volume was imagined.

According to normal progress, even if the three vassal state legions do their best to build the railway, it would be good if they can advance thirty miles a day. After all, the railway not only needs to lay the railway tracks on the ground, but also needs to dig roadbeds, quarry and landfills, and also make cement sleepers.

Fortunately, at this time, the Indian tribes along the railway were gradually being drawn to Zhao Mingfeng. When they heard that the Ming Empire was going to build a railway and transport troops and supplies to clean up the demons on the east coast, they immediately mobilized them all to help!

Although they can't lay the railway, they can still pick up and transport stones, and there are also things that can carry water, soil, sand, or even mix concrete. As long as someone brings it, there is no problem.

Although the Indian tribes were not very large, people from nearby tribes came over, and 300,000 were absolutely more than 300,000. They almost covered all their simple physical work. The legions of the three vassal states just filled the roadbed and paved the railway.

In this way, the railway progress will not be thirty miles a day, but fifty or sixty miles a day. According to this progress, it only takes more than a month for the Ming army to build the railway near the east coast.

Of course, the Ming army did not just build railways. They also had to build bastions and large cities in dangerous locations and concentrated areas of Indian tribes. They were not only here to deal with the British, but also to turn this place into a colony!
