No, 李志坚 used a double colon, so the destination is in a module of the
rsync *daemon* running on the local machine; this is a perfectly
reasonable thing to do.

When accessing an rsync daemon, the remote path is always relative to
the root of the module.  Trying to add a slash to make it absolute
won't work.

李志坚: If the suffix of the destination path that might not yet exist
always appears at the end of the source path (as in your example), you
can state the destination path without that suffix and use --relative
to get rsync to create the necessary destination directories based on
the source path.  Here's a modification of your example that does
this.  Note the ./ in the source path that marks the portion rsync is
to recreate inside the stated destination.  You may wish to use
--no-implied-dirs .

rsync.exe -vrtlcd --relative /cygdrive/c/test/rsyncroot/./111111/001/
127.0.0.1::root/ --delete
