Chapter 4257: die, farewell

Mahinde had a meal, and went back with the jug. Before leaving, he stood on the field row and watched the sky clear after the autumn harvest. He shook his head involuntarily. The more he read, the more he understood, the more he felt I was not worth it back then.

Although Ma Xinde also realized that even if he was accepted by the Da Yuezhi back then, it would be impossible for him to reach Chen Xi's current level, because the future that a person can write ultimately still has the upper limit of his own cognition.

Mahinde has never thought about road transportation and logistics, so he will not have such cognition when laying out the structure. Mahinde cannot realize universal education, so this kind of structure will not exist in his plan .

After all, people live in the world they know. Even if they have a long-term vision and amazing talent, they will be limited by their cognition.

"I can't see it." Ma Xinde looked at the sky and whispered to himself, how can he do things that he has never thought of.

"Don't drive, what are you looking at?" Yang servant looked at Ma Xinde standing on the field row and looked at the sky until the sun was setting and the cold wind suddenly picked up. He walked over carefully and asked Ma Xinde.

"Looking at the future." Mahinde said with a smile. He already understood why he let go, and also understood why the Han Dynasty was strong, not because of a certain person or a few people, but because of this completely different style.

When a country is invaded by another country, it is inherently easier for the invaded country to mobilize the people, because even if there is no concept of nationality, the feeling of hurting others is very obvious. After all, no matter how far away, there will be people. The concept of one's own person.

However, Guishuang's ability to mobilize the common people is really poor. The reason is that Ma Xinde used to be a model lake, but now Ma Xinde understands that Guishuang's up and down is not an overall concept.

"If there is no skin, there will be no hair." Mahinde said with a chuckle. He just wanted to leave before, but because he was dissatisfied with being suppressed and exiled, he stayed away, but if he really wanted to say a formal reason for leaving, it was indeed No.

But after coming to the Han Dynasty, Ma Xinde clearly realized that it is better for Guishuang to collapse than the Han Dynasty. The ruling class of Guishuang has never set its sights on these mortal beings.

"The future?" Yang Pu didn't know why, but Ma Xinde smiled, "Let's go."

It is true that the Han Dynasty has various problems, but at least it is thriving, and that is enough.

For Mahindra, it is not bad to see so many things in his rare years.

Ma Xinde returned to Hanzhong City again. This time he did not go out to investigate again. He made supplies in Hanzhong City, had a good meal, rested overnight, and asked Yang servant to drive to Chang'an.

In recent years, the straight road from Chang'an to Hanzhong has been completely completed, and it is different from the situation when it was first completed in the early years. At present, the straight road from Chang'an to Hanzhong is built according to the twelve national highways.

After all, this road is planned to run from Chang'an to Hanzhong, then to Chengdu, Yunnan and Guizhou, and cross the Indochina Peninsula to enter the Ganges River Basin. Material transfer will be a big problem.

Therefore, when Ma Xinde left Hanzhong City and entered the Qinling Mountains, he quickly felt the benefits of this road.

"Don't drive, we have to speed up on the follow-up road, because after passing the Qinling Mountains, Chenggu County, the nearest supply point to the north, is also a hundred miles away, so we need to speed up all the way." Sinde greeted after helping him into the car.

"Okay, just drive at full speed." Ma Xinde greeted Yang Pu.

With Ma Xinde's words, Yang Pu waited for Ma Xinde to sit still, and then accelerated the gallop with a wave of his whip, and soon the speed soared to more than 50 kilometers.

The Qiang people themselves are good at raising horses, and Yang Pu is a good one, and the straight road from Chang'an to Hanzhong is very flat, and a carriage equipped with a buffer frame can run at the same speed as a war horse in this place, so Ma Xinde felt the speed quickly. What does it mean to be fast and fast.

In less than two hours, Yang Pu ran from Hanzhong to Chenggu County in a carriage, and when Ma Xinde got off, his legs were a little weak. This was the first time he took such a high-speed carriage. The previous carriage took only an hour. Ten kilometers, not much faster than walking.

To be precise, when the carriage was designed, it did not consider running at high speed. After all, it is not a chariot. Normally, it is fast for a carriage, which is more than ten kilometers per hour. With shock absorption systems such as Futu and Dangtu, after a little faster speed, the bumps will be severe.

Therefore, Ma Xinde, who had also galloped on a horse, felt the high speed of galloping like a war horse for the first time in a carriage, and unlike when he was riding a horse, there was a clear feedback from the war horse, and there was really no feedback in the car.

Just like a driver, he doesn’t feel anything up to 120km/h, but a person in a car usually feels very fast when he reaches 100km/h. Mahinda has never ridden so fast before riding a car. , If the legs are not soft, it is the devil.

"It's already here, doesn't it mean it's far away?" Mahinde rarely took out his crutches from the frame, and then leaned on the crutches, his legs were really weak.

"It's more than a hundred miles away." Yang servant said with a smile, "Many young people from rich families like to race horses on this road, because only this road can increase the speed of the horses to the maximum. In fact, you also saw it before. The teams I met along the way were actually fast.”

"Has it exceeded a hundred miles?" Ma Xinde felt his heart beating wildly, this kind of madness was still too exciting for him, "Those who are suitable for hundreds of miles live in spring food, and those who are suitable for thousands of miles gather food in March. I ran a hundred miles in an hour, and I don’t feel this way at all.”

"Because this road is very flat and basically goes straight, so I don't feel much, and it's not yet noon. After we change horses at the post station here, we can go all the way to the next supply point." Yang servant said with a smile.

Chenggu County and Anyang County are the two supply points on the long straight road from Chang'an to Hanzhong. Originally, the two counties were small counties, but relying on the blessing brought by the only two supply points on the long straight road, they quickly developed.

Hanzhong is about 140 miles away from the rebuilt Chenggu County, while Chenggu County is 200 miles away from the relocated Anyang County, and Anyang County is 300 miles away from Shanglinyuan Huyi Station.

If this distance is a march, you will know how far it is when Zhuge Liang leaves Qishan, but if you go straight, you only need to change horses at each supply point, start at dawn in the morning, and arrive before dark in summer.

By the way, these three points, the last station did not exist before, and Sun Qian didn’t consider adding another one at the end when he was building the road. After all, after leaving the Qinling Mountains, it is only a few dozen miles away from Chang’an, and he can find a station at the foot of the emperor. Land, what problem is solved.

Therefore, when designing this road, only two counties that were originally near the road were gathered as supply points and three rest areas for camping in winter.

However, after this road is completed, whether it is the bureaucrats who change horses all the way from Hanzhong and cross the Qinling Mountains in summer, or the caravans that carry supplies across the Qinling Mountains in three to five days in winter, they will take a rest at the crossing after leaving the Qinling Mountains, and the ghost knows why they go to the Qinling Mountains. Linyuan will extend here, and Liu Tong set up a station here after he found out.

At present, this thing that is said to be a post station may be Liu Tong's most successful investment.

"It only took one hour for 140 miles." Ma Xinde understood it when Yang Pu changed horses, and he was numb. What kind of fairy efficiency is this? If this mobile transfer speed is used to transport troops, Ma Xinde will not be able to do it at all. Dare to imagine.

Especially after knowing the direction and extension of the road, Mahinde basically understood who the road was used to deal with.

Even without the concept of the extreme wall of the empire, Mahinde almost understood that after the road was completed, it would take less than a month to reach the Ganges from the capital of the Han Dynasty, and for a country like the Han Dynasty, the army could reach it within a month place, it belongs to the place that can be firmly occupied.

Thinking of this, Ma Xinde couldn't help but feel more confident about his previous speculation. The Han Dynasty is really building up a hand of cards. When they have enough, they will crush Guishuang to death with the lowest loss.

But this kind of thought only lasted for a moment, and Ma Xinde forgot it. Guishuang's death has nothing to do with his salty fish. In his case, it is better to be here Find out if there are any delicious snacks.

As a result, when Ma Xinde was eating a tangerine at the gate of the post station, Yang Pu had already arrived in a new carriage.

"Is it so fast to change the carriage?" Ma Xinde looked at the red tofu in his bowl, and then at the half-eaten tangerine, with a strange expression on his face. Did you really change the horse?

It is reasonable to drive four horses in a carriage, and it is not such a short time to remove the reins, bridles, and harnesses and reinstall them.

"The post station here said that the carriage I used before was an official carriage, and now it needs to be recycled and strengthened, so they directly arranged a new carriage for me." Yang servant pointed to the carriage and said, "This carriage is stronger. , and it has a lot of load, good stability, and good shock resistance.”

The frames operated by Fa Qiang and Qing Qiang in the Han Dynasty were basically given by Chen Xi. They belonged to the same version and were numbered at the bottom of the frames.

Because Jian Yong wants to engage in the logistics industry, he is now upgrading the official frame on hand to prepare for the future. Compared with directly producing new frames, upgrading and transforming old frames can save some money, so recently Previously issued official frames are being recycled for modification.

Yang Pu didn't quite understand why the frame was recycled, but the quality of the returned frame was obviously better in all aspects, so if the official wanted to change it, Yang Pu would certainly not stop him, so with the idea of ​​taking a big advantage, The horse and the cart were replaced directly.

Anyway, the horse is also a post station horse. If you want to run at a high speed, you have to change horses at the post station.

Mahinde has sharp eyes, and he saw the steel edges and corners on the new frame at a glance. After knocking twice, he knew it, and then looked at the spiral spring steel wire. Mahinde basically understood why the frame is thinner. Shock, the overall technical content is higher, and the load is also greater.

"That's all right, let's go." After looking at the frame of the car, Mahinde also felt that there was no need to delay, "Bring some of these tangerines and red tofu. I will eat them on the way. These oranges are pretty good."

There are also oranges in South Asia, but compared with the oranges in Chenggu County, Ma Xinde feels that the taste is a bit different. The oranges here are obviously sweeter and have a better taste.

There is no way, on the side of the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi really organized professional personnel to conduct targeted research, even if these people are not as good at researching oranges and other things as cookies, but after verification time and time again, these people have accumulated A set of effective grafting and hybridization techniques has been developed.

Relying on the number of piles, after so many years of piles, there have been many results.

The tangerines that Ma Xinde is currently eating were researched by Chen Xi, and even Liu Bei felt good after eating them, basically sweeping away the products of the previous generation.

Therefore, even if Ma Xinde didn't say anything, Yang Pu would ask someone to take a bag with him when he set off. After all, this thing is cheap in Chenggu County, but in Chang'an, it will cost another three pennies a catty. As far as Yang servant is concerned, three pennies is the price of a big goose!

So after Ma Xinde got into the car, Yang Pu greeted the guards on the side twice, and soon the other party came back with a straw basket of oranges and a piece of red tofu, and then Ma Xinde got into the car with his things. And Yang servant started slowly, left the post station, waved his whip, and started racing again.

Compared with Mahinde who let go of all the burdens in his heart at this time, he is naturally happy.

Rangarajan is trying to find ways to advance his position.

No way, although Langarajan thought very well before, based on his understanding of Mahinde, that dog thief would definitely not love Guishuang so much. He probably wanted to bring money into the group and earn the banner of the Han Dynasty himself. To persuade him to surrender, it is not a two-way rush, both sides can earn an official title, this is not closer to the eldest princess, wouldn't it be flattering.

However, when Rangarajan went to Liangzhou, he planned to step on the facts first, communicate with Mahinde, let the other party set up a table, get ready, and set up a banner by himself. When Mahinde comes to accept his head pray or something.

As a result, after arriving in Liangzhou, Langarajan tried to go to Tibet, and then clearly realized that he was a waste.

There is no way, although everyone is called a civil servant, but Cheng Yu and Guo Jia have completely different styles of painting.

Although Mahinde is not so much stronger than Langarajan, but he spent more than ten years in self-imposed exile in the military camp. Langarajan is just lying flat, in the upper Tibetan area? I'm afraid it's not because I'm impatient.

There is no need to study this plan. It will be over immediately, and you will not be able to go to Tibet, and you will not be able to find Ma Xinde, so how can you gain great merit in the process of persuading Ma Xinde to surrender?

By letter?

What a joke, based on Langarajan's understanding of Mahinde, there is no way to contact Mahinde in Guishuang, so other than him going up in person, other methods are nonsense, so this road will not work, so Lan Galajan returned from Liangzhou and began to think of other ways to get promoted.

But fortunately, Langarajan has a unique skill!
