Nanming: I can build wonders

When Zhu Kezang's airship achieved great success, a carriage was speeding on the high-speed road to Chengdu.

"When the horse's hooves go south, people look north. When people look north, the grass is green and the yellow dust is flying."

"Yingzuo, we are returning to the west, not to the south!"

A man named Zhao Zhenming slapped his companion on the head hard and said, "Artistic conception, do you understand artistic conception?"

"The artistic conception is not quite right, is it? Wasn't that song sung by Prince Yue when he was recalled to Lin'an by Wanyan Gou? Now you are asking our Lord Long Live to arrange for a career change and a new career. Oh, don't fight. If you fight again, you will be stupid."

Zhao Zhenming felt uncomfortable when he mentioned this matter.

Zhao Zhenming is a battalion commander of the 88th Town of the Ming Dynasty National Defense Force stationed in Yinzhou.

To be precise, the former battalion commander.

A year ago, the unfortunate Zhao Zhenming had already withdrawn from active service in the Ming Dynasty Royal Army.

When he led the brothers in 88 Town to explore the land of Ming Mexico, he was bitten by the most venomous mountain king snake in the area, and he survived at the cost of a leg.

As a junior officer, losing a leg is quite fatal.

Taking into account Zhao Zhenming's actual situation, the Ming Dynasty headquarters in Yinzhou planned to transfer him to a less busy logistics department to take good care of his health.

But in the eyes of the strong Zhao Zhenming, wouldn't this cost him his life?
He secretly found an opportunity to complain to Governor Xiao Wu, hoping to return to the front line, even as an ordinary soldier.

But how could Xiao Wu agree? This was taking his own life instead of fate.

And this is also irresponsible to our colleagues.

Although there are fewer wars now, what if it happens?
Not to mention officers, even soldiers who fall behind during combat will put their colleagues in danger.

Of course, Xiao Wu is still very good to soldiers.

He wouldn't tell Zhao Zhenming so straightforwardly. After all, he was dedicated to the country and couldn't let him feel cold, so he gave a hint in the dark.

Zhao Zhenming thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

My comrade gave him his back unconditionally, but I couldn't let him cheat him.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty promulgated a new preferential care policy for disabled soldiers. Zhao Zhenming thought about it and thought, let's not stay in Yinzhou and feel sorry for ourselves all day long. We should just obey the emperor's call.

In this way, Zhao Zhenming voluntarily applied to withdraw from active service in the Ming Royal Army.

Of course, for such injured soldiers who are serving the country, Ming Dynasty's treatment is quite generous.

First of all, there is a one-time subsidy of two thousand silver dollars, and then there is a disability allowance of one silver dollar every month. During the holidays, there are also condolences, mainly to keep the flow of water flowing.

In addition, for disabled soldiers who have not completely lost their ability to work, Ming Dynasty will arrange suitable positions and encourage re-employment.

Zhao Zhenming belongs to the category of people who have not completely lost their ability to work.

Coinciding with the death of Liu Guoxuan, Zhao Zhenming followed Liu Guoxuan's grandson Liu Junqing from Yinzhou back to Dingyou, the hometown of Ming Dynasty. Liu Junqing, under Xiao Wu's instruction, won him a position as a lecturer at the Sichuan Military Academy.

It just so happens that Zhao Zhenming is from Chengdu, Sichuan, which is equivalent to returning home in glory.

After recuperating in the prosperous place of Yingtian for half a year, Zhao Zhenming also embarked on a journey back home.

He did not expect that the Chengdu Mansion, which he had originally thought was dilapidated, would give Zhao Zhenming a big surprise.

The wars in Ming and Qing Dynasties were very brutal in Sichuan, with only one out of ten people left. Years of wars have left Sichuan's infrastructure basically in tatters.

When the carriage entered the city early in the morning, Zhao Zhenming thought he had come to the wrong place.

When Zhao Zhenming was still a child, he was forcibly recruited by the Qing army because of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, and then surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

Because of his young age, he looked like a pitiful child who had been raped into adulthood, so the Ming National Defense Force did not do anything to him. On the contrary, they gave him a bite to eat.

Because of his good luck, he was sent to study at the Imperial Military Academy branch in Guangzhou Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty. He then joined the National Defense Force and fought in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. Then, because there was a shortage of people in Beiyinzhou, he took the initiative to go to Beiyinzhou.

During the Ming Dynasty's war against New Spain, he repeatedly won military exploits and was promoted to battalion commander. Unexpectedly, a disaster came from heaven.Originally, a general star was rising, but unexpectedly he was bitten by a poisonous snake.

But now he is arranged to go home to train the new generation of Ming Dynasty officers, who is also a professional counterpart.

Zhao Zhenming has not returned home for so many years.

Little did he know that Chengdu Mansion had changed.

Not only was a magnificent new government office built, but the two main roads leading in and out of the state capital were also poured with cement. There were many bicycles and tricycles coming and going on the road, and he even saw a few steam motorcycles.

However, they all have the sun and moon logo on them, and they are official cars used by the Ming Dynasty government.

In addition, Zhao Zhenming also saw that on both sides of the main road, there were new buildings such as the Ming Dynasty State-owned Post Office, a new medical clinic, and a royal department store, which were very lively with people coming and going.

The most impressive ones are the schools in Chengdu Prefecture. Whether they are primary schools, middle schools, or the famous Sichuan Military Academy, they are all very spacious.

It looks better than any government office.

Of course, Zhao Zhenming is not surprised by this.

In the new Ming Dynasty, schools must be built more beautifully than government buildings.

The imperial court is not opposed to the government's yamen repairing style, but you must repair the school.

The majestic official orders demonstrated the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Kezang knew that what would truly drive the empire forward in the future would be the schools with bright and clean windows and the sound of reading aloud from inside.

After leaving Chengdu Fucheng, Zhao Zhenming's destination was Zhaojia Village, Shuangliu County.

That is his hometown.

Shuangliu County has also changed so much that Zhao Zhenming can no longer recognize it.

A lot of old houses were demolished, and some two or three-story concrete buildings were built.

Zhao Zhenming asked people in his hometown dialect and said that the county hospital and school had also been built.

Having been away from home for more than ten years, Zhao Zhenming is really timid about being close to his hometown. He is really a bit shy. He does not look like he is following the Ming Dynasty soldiers who are killing people on the battlefield.

Soon, they left the county seat and arrived at the entrance of Zhaojia Village.

This time Zhao Zhenming brought a lot of things back from Yingtian.

There are specialty stores in Yingtian City specifically for soldiers visiting relatives, and things are much cheaper than outside.

Zhao Zhenming's luggage weighed at least seventy kilograms in large and small bags. He left about ten kilograms of things to the soldiers, and insisted on carrying ten kilograms on his own.

"Yingzuo, are you feeling well?"

"Don't worry, this little road won't be in the way."

"Look, your brother Zhao is still strong. I remember when I was the pacesetter in the 88th Town of the Ming Dynasty National Defense Force, Governor Xiao personally gave me the big red flower!"

Zhao Zhenming's soldiers wanted to carry all the luggage, but Zhao Zhenming, who was missing a leg, insisted on showing off.

Although Zhao Zhenming's parents are gone, he still has several uncles in his hometown who took care of him when he grew up.

I haven't been back for many years, and I don't know if I'm still here.

Zhao Zhenming met an old man at the entrance of the village. He was Zhao Zhenming's neighbor and recognized him.

The old man told Zhao Zhenming: Many old people in the village have died, and many girls from out of town have been married into the village.

There were many people coming and going at the entrance of the village, but Zhao Zhenming didn’t know many of them. The children coming and going didn’t know whose family they belonged to. They all thought Zhao Zhenming came from other places. In fact, Zhao Zhenming also grew up in this village. of
“Children who don’t recognize each other laugh and ask where the guest is from.”
