Chapter 114 Oath
When Old Man Li and nine old boatmen from the Three Gorges arrived at Yiling Cargo Store, there were already ten ships waiting here!
This is a 300-ton puddle ship specially manufactured by the company for this year's Yellow River immigration mission!
Driven by a 500 kW steam turbine, it has a lot of power and a simple structure! It is just a flat deck with a ceiling on it! It is mainly to transport refugees to the estuary in the Yellow River!
Li Bin directly gave the first ten ships manufactured now to the Three Gorges Engineering Team this time!
They brought 500 tons of nitroglycerin explosives and were ready to clean up the most harmful reef first!
"Captain Luo, let me introduce you to you. This is Old Man Li, an old boatman who has been running in the Three Gorges for a lifetime. There are reefs there, and he knows clearly what the water flows there!"
Seeing that Old Man Li was coming with someone, Manager Zhang quickly introduced him to both sides!
Captain Luo quickly greeted: "Hello Lao Li! You need more assistance in this mission. Our company will thank you for your thanks in advance!"
When did the crew members be so polite to them? They just agreed!
Next is to assign one on a boat to take charge of navigation!
Old Man Li was naturally assigned to Captain Luo’s ship!
As soon as Old Man Li got on the boat, he knew that this was a boat that they didn’t need to row or sail. He said to Captain Luo enviously: "Your ship is so powerful, it runs faster and pulls much faster and is also flexible!"
Captain Luo took the helm and laughed: "That's because our company is powerful and the boss is powerful!"
Everyone soon arrived at the first reef at the exit of the Three Gorges!
Of course, it was impossible for the ten ships to surround a reef. The other ships continued to walk up carefully, and Captain Luo's ship stopped here!
Old Man Li was introducing this reef to Captain Luo: "This reef is a big black stone. The seniors have tried countless ways but they can't chew it. Two feet under the water, the navigable location is only more than 20 meters north. If you accidentally hit it, it just so happens that the water flows here is fast, and I don't know how many ships have been destroyed!"
Captain Luo pressed Old Man Li's instructions and carefully drove over the northern channel, then turned the ship south, lowered the anchor, and parked the ship directly above the reef!
Old Man Li was anxious: "Captain Luo, it's too dangerous to stop like this. If you anchor together, the boat will rush directly to the reef!"
Captain Luo joked: "It's okay, our boat can be reversed, and we are just about to blow it up!"
Old Man Li was stunned: It turns out that the boat can still walk upside down?
This reef is not small, twenty or thirty meters wide and more than one hundred meters long. It blocks the entire exit of the Three Gorges tightly. What’s abominable is that it is still hidden one or two feet under the water, and it is simply a crew killer!
The diver wore an Eucommia ulmoides and hung a safety rope. He went on and touched it for a long time before he could figure out its range!
Next is to place explosives! All are 50 kilograms in a pack of them, with regular detonations. For the safety of divers, the time is set to half an hour, and each time a pack of explosives is placed, and then it starts to chew from the north little by little!
Old Man Li was so excited that he was crying as the reef became smaller in the explosion!
Only those boatmen who are making a living here know how many families have been destroyed by these things!
What's the solution? It's all around it, and it's not enough to rely on digging food from the soil to eat the government! If you want to survive, you have to make a fortune!
Even with the protection of the safety rope, several divers were still tilted by the water flow, and they hit the stone and made their bodies green and purple!
Old Man Li felt distressed when he saw it, but the few people still gritted their teeth and jumped into the water again and again!
The water temperature in this section is super low, and the weather temperature has not risen now!
Everyone is determined by perseverance! These people are all born in the navy, so of course they know the meaning of the sentence below the whale bone at the gate of the passenger transport center and the meaning it represents: human progress is a process of fighting against the sky and the earth!
"How is it? Can you still hold on?" Captain Luo greeted the diver who had just arrived!
"Why can't you hold on? If you don't talk about anything else in this way, the local chronicles of the Three Gorges will definitely record it. My Sun Daniu can also record it in history!"
Everyone laughed!
"If you read well, you will be able to get into the Navy. It's different!"
Captain Luo was born on SF Express, and now SF Express has been incorporated by the company!
These crew members who used to be riding small wooden boats were also directly assigned to the transportation team and were responsible for driving the boat on the Yangtze River!
The divers were sent by the Navy, and the explosives were managed by the Army! This is a three-party joint operation!
Just by eating it little by little, Old Man Li also ate the canned meat, canned fish, and white rice that he had been jealous of for a long time!
Every passing boat, Old Man Li, had to say hello to them and tell them the good news!
The ships that came down the upstream also celebrated each other, and they also saw the engineering ships that were shattering upstream!
For a moment, all the ships passing by were full of joy! A problem that no one could solve for thousands of years, and now the light is right in front of us. They are all grateful to Captain Luo and his group, and even admire the black flying tiger flag on their boat!
The entire blasting work lasted for seven days. Finally, Captain Luo confirmed that the reef had been blown up to four meters underwater, and then ordered the ship to set sail and continue to drive upstream!
Of course, the front page headline of the China Monthly News on March 1st will not be written about Li Bin's expansion of 50,000 troops, and he is training such a thing!
The title is "Swearing to turn natural barriers into thoroughfares", which means that Huaxia Company is vigorously promoting the cleaning of the Three Gorges Channel of the Yangtze River. It is necessary to solve the reefs and rocky beaches of the Three Gorges Channel, so that boatmen can safely travel back and forth on the Yangtze River and improve the traffic dilemma in Sichuan!
At the end of the article, I vaguely despise the governments of various dynasties in history. I didn’t even do basic transportation construction and did not collect taxes to “take from the people and use them for the people!”, which was simply incompetent!
"It's simply...it's simply...it's crazy!"
Chongzhen was almost so angry that he didn't eat for a whole day!
Chongzhen was getting angry, but Empress Zhou was in her bedroom, happily reading the letter Zhu Huixi wrote to her from Pudong!
Although I don’t understand Li Bin’s insistence on refusing to have sex with Zhu Huixi, the happiness that Zhu Huixi revealed from his pen and ink is not fake!
Now she goes to class every day to learn mathematics and science, and then she can watch something called "TV series" in her spare time. The plays performed by the people in it are very interesting!
Then I got my own bicycle, and I could ride my bicycle at the beach every day. Even if Li Bin had time, he would take her on a motorcycle for a ride!
Oh, a motorcycle is a car that is bigger and faster than a bicycle. It just doesn’t require anyone to step on it. Just like his car, you can move it yourself!
Li Bin even took her to Qiongzhou, which was not as desolate and remote as people said. Instead, it had warm sunshine, fresh air, and soft beaches!
She had a lot of fun with Tuantuan! In addition to being shy about Tuantuan calling herself "mother"! She felt that life is more free and easy now than in the palace!
"After all he has a little conscience, I will feel at ease!"
After Chongzhen read Zhu Huiyu's letter to the evening, his anger that was despised by Li Bin finally dissipated a little!
"In the letter, Mr. Chun invited us to go on vacation together when we have free time! This vacation is almost like taking time to relax, right?"
Queen Zhou's tone was envious! Now she was a little grateful that she had her vision and persistence at that time!
Although Li Bin's actions are incompatible with the royal rules, at least Shin'er is very happy now, which is completely different from the princess's life she saw in history books!
"I am the emperor, how could I go to his place for vacation?"
Chongzhen was a little sour! People didn’t have the title of emperor, but in fact they were more authoritarian than his, and they lived a happier life!
"Oh, as long as your son is happy, I am relieved as a mother!"
Of course, Empress Zhou knew that Chongzhen could not go to Li Bin for vacation, but was just a little disappointed!
"General, the opposite side may not say that we will cross Jinzhou City, otherwise we will not guarantee our safety!"
The night sent out did not take it back and report it like this!
Zu Dashou punched the north wall of Jinzhou City with a fierce punch: "Li Bin is so domineering!"
Zu Dashou is not stupid either. It’s already March, and he has long since received news that Li Bin sold land in Liaodong and made 50 million yuan, and even broke one of the Tatars’ leg in Gaizhou!
Now the Tartars are abolished. Haven’t you seen that they have retreated from Yizhou?
If you have this opportunity to go out and make a fortune, you will add another 100,000 acres of land to your family, which is not the same as playing!
As a result, Yebusuo, who was sent out, found Li Bin's men built two walls north and south on the former site of Daling River!
What do you mean when you build the north side to prevent the Tartars?
Send someone to ask this answer! Zu Dashou was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven!
It turns out that if you eat meat, you won’t even let someone drink the soup!
He would never dare to be tough on him! He could only turn around the city wall and sulk!
The Tartars did begin strategic contraction, and during this period, all personnel and materials have been transferred to Shengjing!
"I didn't expect that my Daqing would even retreat!"
Dorgon looked at the chaotic crowd outside the city, his tone was filled with helplessness and loss!
"Then Li Bin is just relying on the benefits of firearms! As long as we guard the front line of Shengjing and let the craftsmen step up their research on firearms, we will fight back one day!"
Jirgalang felt it was necessary to comfort Dorgon. After all, they were still young, and Daqing would still rely on them in the future. If they all lost confidence, Daqing would be finished!
"I hope your Majesty can survive this time! I have had two consecutive serious illnesses this year, and my body is about to collapse!"
Duoduo didn't have so much thought, he just thought that in this crisis, he would not have any bad things to hit Daqing!
"Your Majesty's true destiny will be defeated by a small setback? It won't take long to be fierce!"
Of course, Jirgalang needs to stabilize the morale of the army at this time!
Chapter completed!
