Chapter 79 The Great Journey

The Mercedes-Benz team can travel 300 miles a day.

Immigration offices in various counties along the way provided relays for food and accommodation. The convoy was moving forward at an astonishing speed. After ten days, they almost completed the bends of the Yellow River.

This day we arrived in Jiazhou to rest.

The staff of the Immigration Office also boiled hot water for these prospective immigrants from Lanzhou as usual, prepared hot soup, hot rice and hot kang.

But this day, Gaoda was a little abnormal. He actually lost his appetite and lay down on the Datong bed early. After lying down, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.

At midnight, Gundam quietly got up, put on cotton boots, picked up the cotton coat and hat, and pushed the door out.

"What are you doing?" the night patrol security guard asked in a deep voice.

"Bashi."

"Don't let it go outside in the cottage." The security guard ignored him. Such a quasi-immigrant who had been away from home could no longer escape.

But he didn't know that Gundam was from Mizhi County, and his home was less than 160 miles away.

Gundam went into the thatched cottage, looked at the high rear window, held the window ridge with both hands and was about to climb up.

But he was pulled down by someone.

Gundam was so scared that he was gone, thinking that he was over, and now he was dead. Secretary Liu said that escaping was a serious crime and he wanted to be exiled to Suizhou...

"Damn it?" His brother-in-law's voice sounded in his ears.

"Haha..." Gundam was able to breathe heavily, then struggled and said, "Let go, I'm going home!"

"Are you crazy?" Li Shouzhong pressed his mouth tightly and roared in Gaoda's ear: "There are wolf dogs outside, security guards, and wire fences on the wall, so you can do it!"

"I have to go home. I'm not going to live with your sister yet, so I can't let others go!" Gundam whimpered.

"The Dongchang man is staring at him, my family will kill them?" Li Shouzhong wanted to strangle him to death.

Gundam was depressed and burst into tears, "It's all your fault. My sister said she wouldn't hold a banquet. You have to succeed? Now, I can't go home anymore, and your sister has to let others live..."

"Shut up! I really despise you! Just thinking about the little things in the crotch of your pants can't accomplish a big deal!" Li Shouzhong let go of him, untied his pants and squatted and said, "You should hurry up and soak it."

"I don't."

"That's also necessary. If you don't have to, you won't be professional!" Li Shouzhong said with a ferocious face. He was not active when he was in a car every day, and constipation was very common.

"Then don't you want to be a sister?" Gundam had to take off his pants and squat on the side and try hard.

"It's not as much as you think." Li Shouzhong licked his lower lips in silence, "I want to be my father."

"Ah... why are there babies in your wooden bridal chamber?" Gundam didn't believe it.

"Who said that only the bridal chamber can do that? Where can the loess not be buried?" Li Shouzhong became more and more proud. He coughed and taught his brother-in-law a lesson with a full taste: "Brother, accept it, you're so lucky now. Don't make a living. When you send you to Yuzhou, you will never go home in this life. Just work hard to do it. Let's make a contribution together, and you will be considered a Mubai life in this life!"

"..." Gundam held it in for a while and said with a heavy emphasis: "I want to make contributions. If I make contributions, I will be able to go home early!"

"Oh, grandson can teach you." With a thud, Li Shouzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The team advanced for another two days and came to Hukou Town, Jizhou, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province. The ice-car trip also had to end.

First, the famous Hukou Waterfall ahead, and the huge drop makes ice trucks unpassable. Second, according to the group regulations, ice trucks can no longer be used after the first month of the year. Even in the cold Little Ice Age, safety must be the first priority.

The next period is that you can only take the land route and wait until the ice flood passes before you get on the boat again.

Fortunately, after a month of restoring energy, the physical condition of prospective immigrants is unprecedentedly good.

And it gradually became less cold and it was no longer too painful to rush on the road.

So, we combined a team of more than 2,000 people with the Weiyuan County Immigration Team that arrived in Hukou the day before. The elderly and children took a car, and adult men and women walked. Under the escort of a security team of the group, we headed south along the Qinjin Canyon.

In the canyon that began to return to the green sky, Li Shouzhong, who was talking and laughing with his brother-in-law, didn't know that if history had not changed, he would never have walked into this long canyon in his life.

Decades later, his second son led the rebel army and went out of Shaanxi to Jin, cooking the son of the current Wanli Emperor, forcing Wanli's grandson to hang himself, and destroying the Ming Dynasty he was loyal to...

But now that he has left Shaanxi, he is afraid he will not have done anything by himself.

Going south from Hukou for a hundred miles, you will leave the Qin and Jin Canyon and enter the Sanjin land of the mountains and rivers.

When I arrived at Lao Xier's territory, the conditions suddenly improved.

At the Longmen Ferry, there were thousands of mule carts, horse carts, ox carts, and donkey carts parked at Wuyangyang. The Shanxi coachmen who wore fur coats and opened their arms and had a red belt around their waists had been waiting for a long time.

This huge fleet was originally used by Shanxi Company to run Jingxing Road. Jiangnan Group is correcting the Tai Line for Lao Xier, and the transportation capacity of Jingxing Road was naturally greatly affected. Lao Xier can't use so many cars and horses for the time being, so he provides the friendly price of the free transportation capacity to the group to transport immigrants.

First, it can consolidate the relationship with the little master, and second, it can also throw out the burden of eating horses, and the old Xi'ans' abacus rings.

After resting at Longmen Gudu for one night, the immigration team took a bus the next day.

Of course, young people like Li Shouzhong and Gundam cannot get a ride in the car. The immigration officer takes them in front with empty hands, which is much faster than taking the car.

Looking at the magnificent scenery along the Yellow River, Li Shouzhong felt indescribable pleasure and thought that it was worth it for him to come out.

I wonder why I never had the mood to enjoy the scenery before?

While he was thinking, he suddenly ate a heavy kick on his butt and almost went to a big party.

Amid the laughter of his companions, Li Shouzhong turned around in anger and saw that it was not someone else who kicked him, but his brother-in-law Gundam.

"Why are you crazy again?"

"Dan, your sister!" Gundam's face was even more angry than him. He grabbed his collar and roared in a low voice: "You've put Yuanyuan asleep!"

In front of so many people, he didn't dare to say directly to my sister...

"Good, you only reacted after you arrived in Shanxi?" Li Shouzhong laughed: "I've been in two months when I left!"

"No wonder you are relieved to come out!" Gundam was so angry that he felt sorry for his sister, but more because he felt that he was too much of a loss...

At this time, Director Liu came over, picked up Gundam, slapped him in the face, and then punished him to carry a kettle for the whole team.

It was Li Shouzhong who took the initiative to share half of the burden for him.

"You hammer!" Gundam snorted angrily, forgave this guy who was a little conscientious.

Lao Xier's convoy kept sending the immigration team to Sanmenxia, ​​400 miles away, and then turned back to continue transporting the next wave.

At this time, the snowfall had passed. After passing the sad Sanmenxia, ​​you could take the boat again.

However, the large ship cannot be driven from Sanmenxia to Mengjin. You need to ferry a small boat first and arrive in Mengjin on the next day before you can transfer to the group's 400-source inland river fleet.

This made me through the most difficult part of this great migration.

From Lanzhou to Luoyang, traveling through three provinces and four thousand miles, Jiangnan Group only allowed the elderly, weak, women and children to walk for a hundred miles...

For this, the group paid a huge cost. But Zhao Hao firmly believed that this was worth it. Because in the future, the people in the pass suffered ten times more disasters than Jiangnan and several times more than other provinces.

Since the Jiangnan Group has taken the world as its responsibility, it must not ignore the sufferings of its compatriots like the Jiangnan gentry in another time and space.

Fortunately, the fundamental mission of the century-old immigration group is, and fortunately, Zhao Hao has absolute authority in the empire he created, so he has not heard any noise for the time being.

But this level of effort is going to be wherever it is? And this is plundering valuable manpower for his territory! If someone says something strange, then Zhao Hao would be so rude...

After Pan Jixun successfully controlled the water, the lower reaches of the Yellow River restored its navigation capacity, and a sand ship of 400 materials could be directly navigated from Luoyang to Huaian into the Yellow Sea.

This section of water is 1,400 miles, and it takes only three days to go downstream. Therefore, the fleet no longer stops in Haizhou, and goes south along the coastline and heads to Hangzhou Bay 1,200 miles away.

Before landing, you have to stay on the boat for ten days. For crew members who are used to sea life, this short coastal navigation is as easy as playing house.

But for the people in northern Shaanxi who have never taken a boat in their lifetime, it is simply a matter of killing them.

It was okay for those days on the Yellow River, but I just lost my appetite and had no roots under my feet. When I went out to sea, I was actually in the third or fourth level of sea conditions, and I was so seasick that I was so dizzy that I couldn't lie firmly on the bed.

They vomited all the bitter gallbladders, and they wanted to vomit as soon as they saw what they were eaten. Finally, they stopped eating them, and they were so delicious...

The ship is equipped with seasickness medicine made of Pinellia and ginger, but to be honest, the effect is average, so you have to get used to it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, their lives would be taken for the future of the ocean.

Of course, waiting is not the habit of immigrant cadres. They lead prospective immigrants to perform vestibule function training such as tiptoeing, shrugging, and turning shoulders when the weather is calm to improve their body's static balance.

In short, three days after going out to sea, prospective immigrants gradually adapted to this kind of bumpy bump. First, the children with the strongest adaptability began to run on the deck, and then the young and middle-aged people. Five or six days later... even the elderly went to the deck to bask in the sun.

Of course, there are also a few people who cannot adapt completely, such as Li Shouzhong. He has been lying there, vomiting whatever he eats. In just a short seven-day voyage, he has all fallen back after growing fat before...

While serving him, Gundam was gloating and laughing. He seemed to feel that in this way, the two brothers might be sent home...

"Teaching you to sleep with my sister, have you been punished?"

"Get out..." Li Shouzhong was about to curse, but a wave pushed the boat away, and he hugged the basin and spit out clear water.

He hasn't had a grain of rice these days, and he has to rely on infusion to support him...

Fortunately, the boat docked on the tenth day of March.

This great journey, which lasted two months and lasted for 8,000 miles, finally came to an end.
Chapter completed!
