Chapter 171 Beihai Railway

Now the Army Chief of Staff Sheng Xiaobo is responsible for the security and defense work of the entire North Sea Line!

Li Bin’s instructions to gradually advance the defense work of this major artery, clean up the surrounding areas, and closely monitor it!

Sheng Xiaobo took his guard from the Heilongjiang River and patrolled the west!

The steel of this era is no less attractive than gold to most ethnic groups in Siberia that are still at the semi-primitive social production level!

For the safety of the railway, Li Bin was so crazy that he asked someone to cut out five kilometers on both sides of the railway! Even the roots of the trees had to be dug out! The cut out place just happened to plant soybeans!

Now the place where Sheng Xiaobo sets off is the starting point, and of course the two sides of the road are already cut off, and the people from the Ministry of Agriculture have begun to overturn the ground!

Walking all the way, you will arrive at the first railway outpost after ten kilometers!

Each post is stationed in a platoon, responsible for the safety of ten kilometers around. People patrol along the railway line every day. Once you find signs of other human activities nearby, a search team will be sent immediately!

The outpost itself is a 15-meter-high bunker-style building poured with reinforced concrete. It is unlikely that two or three thousand people can be killed!

"You guys should be very safe now, right?"

Sheng Xiaobo asked the platoon leader here!

The platoon leader smiled bitterly: "We can't even see a ghost here now. We have nothing to do except patrol every day!"

"Don't let go of your guard, the commander-in-chief said that the country called Rakshasa in the west will not let us occupy this place willingly. After so long, the news should be transmitted back! Maybe they will come around here! After all, the whole north is too big, and we can only deploy defenses along the railway line now!"

The platoon leader nodded: "Don't worry, Chief of Staff! We have always implemented the regulations seriously. If there is any problem, I will come and see you!"

Sheng Xiaobo laughed: "Bad! I dare not ask for your head. I can't control the military court!"

The platoon leader nodded repeatedly!

"It's okay, just follow the regulations! It's also a military merit to defending the frontier! The General Staff is considering rotating you, long-term rotations for the back and long-term rotations for the front, so that everyone can temper them!"

The platoon leader was overjoyed: "I heard that they were fighting in front of him very lively! I caught a lot of people every day!"

"Nonsense, although it's a little cold here, both the skin and the fish in the river are good things, and they can live, of course there are many people! How about it? How much skin cost in winter?"

The elder of the platoon blushed: "It's only more than 7,000 yuan. Excluding half of the company, everyone will be divided by about 100 yuan!"

What Sheng Xiaobo and the platoon leader were talking about was one of the benefits of the troops stationed in the Beihai Railway: Hunting!

In autumn and winter, when there is no defensive pressure, the troops can divide some people out to hunt fur. After the company acquires it, half of the profit will be divided equally by the garrison troops!

This queue last year was divided into more than 100 yuan for everyone!

"Well, hunting activities not only give the soldiers more income, but also exercise the soldiers' adaptability here. Remember, it is your business to be optimistic about the railway lines and telegraph lines!"

The wireless telegraph machines brought by Li Bin are now basically placed on China Resources Department Store and naval warships in the Ming Dynasty. However, of course, the wired telegraph cannot be difficult for Li Bin who had opened the gold finger. A small group of people in the R&D center took more than a year to perfect it to be used. The entire Northeast, Honghe District, and Mekong District now have their own independent telegraph network, and then important messages are sent to Pudong through wireless telegraphs!

Every outpost on the Beihai Line has this thing. Even if it encounters an attack from an opponent's large group of people, it can shake people immediately!

Sheng Xiaobo checked out posts one by one. Anyway, he slept in the post at night. He had 300 people in his guard and had all the long spears and short cannons. He really didn't worry about safety!

After walking through more than fifty outposts, I finally saw the construction area ahead!

Where there are laborers, the density of the Qihu Army is of course much greater!

"Old Zhang, why did you run over? Don't you stare at your treasure bridge?"

When Sheng Xiaobo saw that Zhang Geun-shuo, the Minister of Construction, was there!

"Millions of people cut down trees on this line. If I don't come to see it, how can I rest assured!"

Sheng Xiaobo laughed: "Just like our army guys, you may have problems with asking them to command bridge repairs. If they have problems with cutting down trees, smashing stones, and laying foundations, then their cultural exam will be in vain!"

Zhang Genshuo nodded: "That's true. I heard that the people in front of me are still fighting every day, and it's quite difficult to deal with these people!"

Sheng Xiaobo waved his hand: "It's just some little flies. You don't know the combat effectiveness of our Qihu Army? If you don't clean them up, the railway will not be peaceful in the future!"

The two of them chatted while walking, and explosions kept coming from the front. The natives here had been cleaned up. It was the engineers of the Railway Bureau who were exploding mountains and quarrying. Such a long railway would definitely quarry along the line and blow up the roadbed flattening!

"The project volume is too large! It's more than 6,000 kilometers long. We have just cut down trees but haven't cut down two thousand kilometers yet!"

Jang Geun-shuo's scalp was also numb for this project, not to mention the one on the east side, which is said to be more complex and more difficult!

“How many laborers have died so far?”

Sheng Xiaobo is quite concerned about this issue! After all, all workers have to rely on the army to arrest them. If too many deaths are done, the workers will not be too stable!

"Since the start of construction last year, nearly 200,000 have died! The main problem is that Nanyang workers can't withstand the winter here! The Rakshasa people caught locally are much better, and there is no death! After all, we have all given out cotton coats and are full, and there is also a warm kang to sleep at night!"

Isn’t that true? I cut down countless trees and transported them back to the Northeast. The useless treetops and branches just happened to be used to burn the kang!

"The main thing is the problem of not adapting to the local environment! It is certain that the Nanyang people come here and suffer a high loss, but it doesn't matter. The commander-in-chief said that it is normal for people to die in railway construction in such places. Just control the casualties of our own people. How many monkeys die, just catch them again!"

Sheng Xiaobo doesn’t care about the life or death of these Nanyang monkeys, it’s just a matter of difficulty in suppressing!

"What do your army thinks about the immigration garrison proposed by the company?"

After such a long railway line is built, it is definitely not allowed to be left empty. It is to develop the resources here. Only by enriching the population here can we firmly control it!

Many cities along the route in later generations must have built immigration sites to allow them to take root and sprout here!

Sheng Xiaobo shook his head: "There are so few people who are willing to come to this ghost place! Now everyone recruited by the company chooses to go to the Mekong River! After all, it is fifty acres of rice fields in three seasons a year, and if you give a gun here, you will not be willing to come to the forest land! In the words of the commander-in-chief, our nation lacks some murderous aura! When everyone can choose to live a peaceful life, they are not willing to take risks!"

Zhang Genshuo shook his head: "Anyway, I am against what they said, letting Daming send the entire prisoner's family here! Then there will be a bunch of prisoners, and they will still shoot them. That is not going to make the disaster here mess!"

Sheng Xiaobo smiled: "What I sent them was just flintlock rifles, for them to hunt and defend themselves. Our Qihu Army is here, are you afraid that they will make a comeback?"

Zhang Genshuo shook his head: "Let's see how their pilot situation is! There are many people who oppose this time, and many people agree! Anyway, this place is far from Daming, and only our railway can go out, so we are not afraid that they will harm others elsewhere!"

Sheng Xiaobo patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, since the company is doing a pilot, there will definitely be rules and regulations. Those people have been here for two years and discovered the benefits here. If they feel at ease, they can take root here!"

It is easy to cut trees, but it is difficult to dig the roots! There are dense stumps on both sides of the railway line. Two workers dig one, and they are sweating profusely! After all, they have tasks every day. If they don’t dig enough, they won’t have enough food. The next day they have no strength to dig! Those who are lazy and slick!

Once you fall into such a vicious cycle, your nutrition cannot keep up with your consumption and you will be not far from death!

The two broke up at this meeting place. Jang Geun-shuo was going to see his bridge, and Sheng Xiaobo also had to continue patrolling forward! There was more than a thousand kilometers behind, and he was still extending forward every day!

After walking on the road for more than a month and patrolling for more than a thousand kilometers, I received news that the outpost near the Beihai in front was besieged by a large number of cavalry!

The opponent's number is about 5,000, and basically they are equipped with a mezzanine. Everyone rides a horse. It seems that it is a large army from the west!

When Sheng Xiaobo heard that there were only about 5,000 people, he felt relieved! The frontier was still cleaning up the local indigenous people, and there were no labor and railway bureau staff, and a large number of troops were nearby, so there was no danger at all!

Even so, Sheng Xiaobo led the guards to speed up the speed, about 500 kilometers, and arrived after being built by the laborers next to the railway line in two days!

"You guys have finished packing this?"

When Sheng Xiaobo arrived, all the five thousand Cossacks were surrounded and caught! Sheng Xiaobo, who was ready to be fond of him, was disappointed!

"These guys really thought we only had 180 people! I wondered that within a hundred kilometers of our neighbors, there were tens of thousands of people guarding the laborers! They surrounded our outpost, but were surrounded by the counter-attacked from behind, killing more than a thousand others. The others surrendered, and they were really unbeaten!"

Ma Tiezhu, who was leading the special forces here to capture the natives, curled his lips!

"I said Lao Ma, you are just idle. Come and compete with our ordinary troops for food! Now that winter is over, why are you doing high-altitude training? Go back quickly!"

Ma Tiezhu is at the same level as him, of course he won't listen to his arrangements: "Come on your side, we must keep moving forward according to the railway line to see if the route is correct, and who are there along the line, otherwise it would be so easy for you to capture the indigenous people?"

Of course, both of them were joking, each had their own tasks, and Sheng Xiaobo couldn't control the special forces!

In the past, everyone didn't understand Li Bin's spending a lot of money to build a special forces. This unit with less than 1,000 people was more expensive than a division, and it was finally easy to produce good seedlings. The army competition once every six months was pulled away by Ma Tiezhu, the birdman!

What is even more heartbreaking is that such a good seedling has reached 6% in training! What does this mean? The combat death rate of the Tiger Army is still at one thousandth of the battle!

After waiting for everyone to truly go to the battlefield, especially in the two places of Nanyang and Siberia, the value of special forces suddenly appeared!

You can send a lot of information from the enemy clearly. You can't touch the small enemy, and he will harass you in turn. With the special forces taking action, they can block them and kill them completely!

Those small groups of enemies can't run away or fight. They can't get caught up with the experts who are catching up in the mountains!
