    Dezhou is the gateway to the northeast of Shandong. It was not entirely a mistake for the Jianqi soldiers to move south in the 11th year of Chongzhen, and Gao Qiqian ordered Shandong troops to gather in Dezhou.

    When Yu Guozhen made the construction plan for Shandong three years ago, Dezhou was an important hub.  The Jinan-Qingdao Railway will extend here, and then intersect with the canal here, thus forming a water-land transport pattern. After the north is stabilized, the railways to Tianjin Wei and Beijing will also extend northward.  At the same time, he will build a dual-purpose railway and highway bridge across the canal here to extend the railway to the hinterland of the Central Plains.  .

    The technology of building bridges is not a problem. When they were in Qinzhou, the Lei family led a group of apprentices to study the construction structures of various bridges. As long as the strength of steel and cement can keep up, not to mention canals and the Yellow River with shallow water.  It is not completely impossible to build a bridge over the Yangtze River.

    And in Xinxiang and Nanhai, the engineers of the Lei family have built dozens of steel bridges, some large and some small, and have accumulated considerable experience.

    After the outbreak of the war, Texas became a military city.

    "The atmosphere of this place is different from that of Jinan Prefecture."

    Ma Dabao took a breath, picked up the kettle on his waist, drank the water in one gulp, and watched the rails extend in front of him. When he noticed that a young worker was a little sloppy in his work, he strode over and pushed the worker away.  He opened the car, straightened the rails himself, stood up and slapped the young worker.

    "You bastard, you are so careless in doing things, where are your thoughts?"

    The worker¡¯s face was slightly swollen from the beating, but he honestly didn¡¯t dare to say a word.  He was indeed distracted just now.  Therefore, this slap is not unjust.

    Perhaps it is because he has struggled from the threshold of death, or perhaps because the instructors sent by Yu Guozhen are really effective. Craftsman "masters" like Ma Dabao cherish their current treatment very much, so they cannot tolerate the behavior of those young boys.  Madhaha's move.  They quickly established prestige in various production departments by relying on their master-apprentice relationship and their own ability to do things, of course.  And the intimidating power of them beating people up to get things done.

    Xiangma Dabao once beat three disobedient boys by himself.

    After he took back the slap, he heard majestic singing in the distance.  Ma Dabao looked back and saw Yu Guozhen taking the lead, with groups of Chinese troops approaching.

    There are more than a thousand people.  There are more than ten thousand people in the mountains and plains, and it is endless.  Ma Dabao looked at the seemingly endless Chinese army, with a look of envy on his face.

    "You were so fierce just now, let's stop now, Ma Dabao. A few days ago, the committee just issued an announcement requesting that ordinary workers be respected as much as possible. You beat the apprentices at every turn. Be careful of being reported!"

    Fei Shen, the leader of a team next to him, said mockingly to Ma Dabao. Ma Dabao glared at this guy. This guy loves to show off and only wants to climb up. In Ma Dabao's words.  He is not a person who concentrates on his work, but it is a pity that he has a good craftsmanship.  This is inevitable. There are always conflicts of one kind or another within the Chinese system. Craftsmen like Ma Dabao, who was born as a disaster victim and relied on hard work to rise to prominence in just three years, and Fei Shen, who graduated from Xinxiang Junior High School, have a different relationship with each other.  They all look down upon them.  Ma Dabao felt that Fei Shen grew up in a honey jar.  He was afraid that he would not be able to endure hardships and would not be able to work at the grassroots level for a long time. Fei Shen felt that Ma Dabao was stubborn, could do nothing but use his strength, and his methods were simple and crude.

    ¡°If you say anything else, I¡¯ll whip you too!¡± Ma Dabao threatened in a low voice.

    "You don't have the guts. This is in front of our officers. Did you see that? That's our officer, the commander-in-chief. When I was in Xinxiang Junior High School, he even taught us classes in person. According to the old-style relationship,  Come to think of it, I am his disciple!"

    Fei Shen¡¯s triumphant look made Ma Dabao slap in the face. He really didn¡¯t dare to beat this kid in front of the Chinese army.

    Fei Shen looked at Yu Guozhen with admiration. Like him, a young man who graduated from Xinxiang Junior High School had an almost fanatical admiration for Yu Guozhen.

    "You are the only one who recognizes the commander-in-chief? I recognize him too. I even competed with the old man next to the commander-in-chief and I even beat him." Ma Dabao snorted.

    "Old Ma, just brag, brag, I heard that there is someone who is stronger than Qi Niu, but it will definitely not be you!"

    Fei Shen really didn't believe Ma Dabao's words. There were many people at the scene, but to the railway engineering soldiers, the important thing was that one of them was stronger than Qi Niu, who was known as the strongest man in the Chinese army. As for this person  Who it is, it doesn't matter anymore.  What's more, Ma Dabao was just an ordinary railway engineer at that time. After he boasted a few times and was laughed at, he stopped mentioning it, so the workers around him didn't know about it.

    Yu?Fei Shen saluted excitedly as Zhenzhen and his party came closer. Among the railway engineering corps, many students like him who graduated from Xinxiang Junior High School began to salute.

    ??Almost all students who graduated from Xinxiang Junior High School entered the most basic jobs, such as farms and factories, but the number of people who joined the Chinese Army was not the majority.  Yu Guozhen only used elementary school students to form the backbone of the Huaxia Army, turning the Huaxia Army into a second school and a melting pot.

    Yu Guozhen's eyes looked this way. Fei Shen was immediately happy and held his chest high. Yu Guozhen saw him and smiled slightly, but his eyes passed him and when he saw Ma Dabao beside him, his smile turned into  laughed.

    "Old Ma, you are indeed here!"

    Not only did he laugh, he also dismounted, handed the reins to the orderly, and walked over quickly.

    Ma Dabao grinned and smiled stupidly. He didn't expect that Yu Guozhen would give him such face and greet him in front of so many people.  Yu Guozhen stepped forward and held his hand: "I went back and looked at your file specifically. It's amazing, Lao Ma. You have been a model worker for three years in a row. It's amazing!"

    Ma Dabao was even happier. He said triumphantly: "Lao Ma, I am better than Lao Niu after all. If I can't even get a model, wouldn't I lose the face of the commander-in-chief and Lao Niu?"

    Qi Niu tilted his head beside Yu Guozhen and snorted.  But there was no rebuttal.  Yu Guozhen patted Lao Ma's arm: "I'm going to Cangzhou for a walk. Come on, repair the railway as soon as possible, and I'll take the train directly to Cangzhou."

    "Don't worry, Commander, just don't worry!"

    Yu Guozhen looked at Fei Shen again: "Looking at it, you should have graduated from junior high school, right?"

    "Yesyes, Fei Shen, a student in the sixth period of the Elementary School!"

    It started when Yu Guozhen came over to talk to Ma Dabao.  Fei Shen opened his mouth wide, feeling as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world. Now Yu Guozhen was talking to him.  He was even more excited.

    Seeing this young face full of vitality, Yu Guozhen was extremely satisfied: "Learn from Lao Ma, Lao Ma is amazing. Having been a model railway engineer soldier for three consecutive years, this honor is not easy to win! We in China have always been diligent.  Glory, being lazy is a shame. For a model worker like Lao Ma, we should give him honor and let everyone in the world know that China will not treat those who really built her up. Like the Confucian scholars in Donglin, they only pay lip service.  It¡¯s as if all the benevolence, righteousness and morality in the world have been taken over by them. We don¡¯t need people like this! Those who come from the junior high school must never forget our school motto, ¡®Seeking truth, seeking truth and seeking progress¡¯!¡±

    "Yes. I will live up to the commander's expectations!"

    After Yu Guozhen finished his explanation, he waved to the two of them, then mounted his horse again and continued heading north.

    After Yu Guozhen disappeared from their sight, Ma Dabao laughed twice at Fei Shen, unable to hide his pride.  Fei Shen was somewhat downcast.

    He knew that he would never raise his head in front of Ma Dabao in the future.

    On September 8, the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, Yu Guozhen personally led 20,000 reinforcements, left Dezhou City and rushed to Cangzhou City.  He learned on September 5 that Wu Sangui's troops suddenly appeared in Cangzhou City. Before that, his intelligence system had no report on the whereabouts of this troops.

    At first, Yu Guozhen also suspected that this might be a trap, but soon intelligence agents elsewhere came to know that this group of troops had sent troops from Wuqing. In order to hide their whereabouts along the way, they even killed all the villages they passed. The methods were cruel and shocking.  Point out.

    This also made Yu Guozhen furious. Over the years, due to Yu Guozhen's prestige, the various forces no longer dared to harm the people when they were fighting. The kind of tactics that drove the people to fill the city with corpses has been eliminated.  But this time, Wu Sangui first used the people to block the artillery in Cangzhou City, and now he simply carried out massacres. This made Yu Guozhen feel that it was necessary to emphasize the rules of the Chinese Civil War again.

    "No one from Wu Sangui's group will be left alive. They must be dealt with in order to relieve the hatred in my heart." On the horse, Yu Guozhen whispered to Qi Niu.

    "As the officer wishes." Qi Niu's half-closed eyes suddenly opened.

    Now that he is over thirty years old, he is no longer as energetic as when he was young, but when he has an attack, the sharp feeling still makes people feel trembling.

    The Chinese army marched very fast, and on September 10th, they had already arrived outside Cangzhou City.  At this time, Cangzhou was besieged by tens of thousands of Wu Sangui's troops. There were not many defenders in the city, and Wu Sangui's troops were attacking very fiercely, so they were in danger.  Yu Guozhen led his army and arrived at the right time. Wu Sangui's troops were forced to withdraw from the siege and gathered in the northwest of Cangzhou.

    They seemed to have been prepared for this, so they had well-equipped camps. In particular, they imitated the Chinese army and dug a large number of trenches. The trenches were as deep as two hundred feet, separating the Chinese army from the field.??Outside the range of the short cannon.

    Seeing that the canal that was dredged only two years ago became riddled with holes after being dug like this, Yu Guozhen could only shake his head and sigh.

    "Commander, something seems wrong. How could Wu Sangui's men be so brave and dare to stand here? It stands to reason that when they learn that my reinforcements have arrived, they should immediately withdraw north and return to Tianjin Guard for the decisive battle, right?"

    At this moment, Song Xiance beside him frowned and raised his doubts.

    Yu Guozhen thought for a while, and indeed, although Wu Sangui was not afraid of the attack, he had been extremely cautious in deploying his troops before, as shown by the fact that he retreated from Nanpi to Tianjin Guard.  When there is no chance, he would rather shrink than take risks, but this time, why do tens of thousands of his elites stop here?

    Just when Yu Guozhen was suspicious, a group of more than a hundred refugees, supporting the elderly and the young, appeared in the north of Dezhou City.
