Chapter 117 The steam engine train is running
Chapter 117 Steam engine train starts running
It is not accidental that women in the Tang Dynasty were in charge of their own affairs. With the role model of Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning, there are many women who show up in public. There are many women who are famous for their husbands.
For example, the wife of Fang Xuanling, who was famous for his jealousy, even Li Er dared to argue with him. For example, the wife of Wei Zheng, Pei, has been abandoning his family since Wei Zheng joined Li Mi's position in the 13th year of Daye. Although Pei is not as big as Yang Rong, he still manages Wei Zheng's family in an orderly manner.
Of course, there are Hongfu Nu in the Miscellaneous History, as well as Princess Taiping, Princess Changle, Queen Wei, etc. in history. Even though these women have left indelible marks in history, who would have thought that Yang Rong's vision was so advanced?
Wu Zetian entered the palace as a talented man and eventually became a queen. Speaking of Wu Zetian's teacher, she is probably her mother, Yang Rong, is even more powerful. Although historical records show that after the death of Wu Shitao, the brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang bullied them, none of them could have a good ending.
Parents are children's teachers, and every word and action will be imitated by children. Yang Rong is so powerful now that she can cultivate the monster Wu Zetian, obviously Yang Rong has made great contributions.
In fact, it is not impossible to communicate with Western Turks. Although the Eastern Turks and Western Turks are of the same origin, the humiliation and harm imposed on the Central Plains by the Turks actually have little to do with Western Turks.
Putting aside this factor, it is not realistic for Chen Ying to kill all the Western Turks. Chen Ying, who was a man of two lives, knew very well that he could defeat the Western Turks, but he could not kill them all. After all, Anxi was too big. Just drilling into any valley, let alone giving Chen Ying a hundred thousand army, even a million troops, Chen Ying could not uproot the Western Turks.
Looking at Chen Ying's silence, Yang Rong smiled and said, "Little cousin, you can think about it slowly!"
"Do you want to turn the Silk Road into a bloody slave road?" Chen Ying looked into Yang Rong's eyes and said slowly: "Do you know what the consequences will be if this hole is opened?"
Yang Rong smiled and said, "My little cousin, haven't you understood it yet? In order to repay you to pacify the Turks and assist Your Majesty, Anxi has become your fiefdom. If I do this, you will benefit in the end!"
There is nothing wrong with Yang Rong's words. Except for Chen Ying, all the generals who led the troops, whether they were Li Jing, Li Shiji, Xue Wanche, Yuchi Jingde, and others, had one count. All their families lived in Chang'an. In order to enjoy their happiness, they were actually controlling the hostages.
However, Chen Ying was not like this. His eldest son Li Siye, the eldest son Chen Qian, and the eldest daughter Li Ruoxi all followed Li Xiuning to live in Shule City.
Chen Ying pondered: "Cousin, I'm just worried that once your business friend leaves Anxi, if the Western Turks turn against each other..."
"Turn against each other?" Hearing this, Yang Rong smiled happily. After a while, she smiled and said, "Who dares to have you, Chen Rentu, come and see me? Little cousin, you don't know your bad name. Nowadays, we Tang people, let alone in the Tang Dynasty, even in the Byzantine Empire, or in the Sassanian Empire thousands of miles away, the Hu people wished that we Tang people would be able to support us Tang people to the sky. Even the governments on their side would not dare to care. I don't know how many Persian or Sogdian merchants there were, they attached their business names to the Tang people and regarded themselves as shopkeepers."
Hearing this, Chen Ying looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, and his eyes became deep, as if he was going to travel through time and space. More than 1,300 years later, in that time and space, the Celestial Empire was also a great power, with merchants from the Celestial Empire spread all over the world, and any corner of the world, wherever there are people, you can see the Chinese.
However, these Chinese businessmen will make their companies foreign names both at home and abroad, as if they are exposed to foreign style and become tall and generous. Nobel tiles, Marco Polo tiles, Picasso tiles, Van Gogh tiles, Mona Lisa tiles, Da Vinci furniture... are all domestically produced, Aisin ramen has no stores in Japan, California beef noodle king in the United States has no stores in the United States, Yoshinoya and Yoshinoya are not one of them, French Homoto, American Shien milk powder, French Cazilandu authentic Guangdong goods, Carl Danton suits, pure Shenzhen goods, Jordan sports shoes Jordan has nothing to do with...
No one does not want his country to be strong, of course, those mixed-race mixed-race dwarfs are just forgot.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying said: "In principle, I agree, but you have to pay taxes, and there is no sympathy to talk about it!"
Yang Rong reached out her hand and said with a white hand: "Okay!"
...
Finally, Chen Ying arrived in Shule City smoothly.
However, even though he knew that the steam engine had made a breakthrough, Chen Ying did not go to visit immediately, but instead... soaked in the big pool and enjoyed the blessings of all the people.
As the saying goes, after three years of military service, the sow was as good as Diao Chan.
The only difference between Chen Ying's army and the various armies of the Tang Dynasty was that Chen Ying had no battalions under him. The soldiers of the army could kill, rob, or set fire, but they could not rape them.
This is an iron rule, whoever touches will die.
As the head coach, Chen Ying has also made no exception.
Now when he was home, Chen Ying suddenly turned into a werewolf under the moon.
Li Xiuning once again proved with factual actions that there were only exhausted cows and no broken fields. When Chen Ying was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers, Li Xiuning could still serve Chen Ying to change clothes and get up to prepare meals for Chen Ying.
Chen Ying lay on the soft couch, weak and had no power to eat.
Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and said, "If you want to laugh, just laugh..."
Li Xiuning pursed her lips and said, "It's been more than a year... you don't know how I survived it."
"Are I better than you?" Chen Ying stretched out his arms, and Li Xiuning lay in Chen Ying's arms tactfully.
Li Xiuning murmured: "I want to have a few more children!"
Chen Ying buried his head in Li Xiuning's chest and said, "Then you are ready to give birth to another football team!"
Li Xiuning said in confusion: "Football team?"
Chen Ying explained: "It's Cuju team!"
Li Xiuning suddenly realized, stretched out her hand to beat Chen Ying's chest, and said angrily: "I'm going to die, what do you think of me?"
Chen Ying sighed long and said, "Our incident happened!"
Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying in confusion.
Li Xiuning had her own news channels, and she understood Chen Ying's words. It was Li Xiuning's idea to save Li Shimin and send Li Shimin to Fusang mainland. If it weren't for Li Xiuning's reasons, Chen Ying handed over Li Shimin to Li Jiancheng, which was the most consistent with Chen Ying's interests.
However, Chen Ying did not do that. In order not to make her sad, Chen Ying risked offending Li Jiancheng and sent Li Shimin to Fusang mainland.
Now that Li Shimin has sent Cheng Zhijie back, Li Jiancheng will definitely be furious, which is inevitable.
In Li Jiancheng's view, Chen Ying was betrayal, a naked betrayal.
Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and said, "I will go back to Chang'an and explain to Dalang..."
"Actually, it's not necessary!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "I believe Your Majesty will understand. If he doesn't understand, no matter what he does, I will continue!"
After all, in some needs, the man's enthusiasm and speed are not as good as the woman's timeless. Even though Chen Ying has always insisted on fitness, Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang, and Shentian Huayin still make Chen Ying feel pain and happy.
Until four days later, Chen Ying had no choice but to sleep with his son Chen Qian, and finally escaped the disaster.
...
On the fifth day, Chen Ying then walked towards Shule Academy with dark circles in his eyes.
In Shule Academy, Chen Ying saw the steam engine that he thought about day and night. How can he describe it? This thing can only be described as stupid and thick, and it has a very old-fashioned style. However, the disadvantages of this steam engine are very obvious, very high, as high as three or two feet. The whole body is made of bearing steel, with twenty-four wheels, and I really want the steam engine trains of later generations.
There was no detour in the power mechanism. Since the cotton in Anxi appeared, especially the army under Chen Ying, it was different from other armies of the Tang Dynasty. Since the era of the Right Guard, the soldiers under Chen Ying did not release silk, but directly distributed ready-made clothes. For example, the 8,000 pieces of 10,000 pieces were used to sew it manually. At most, they could spend more time and hire more people.
However, with the Anxi Army having an organization of up to 100,000, the number of military uniforms alone is as high as 400,000 each year. This is no longer something that can be easily done with a large number of people.
What's more, it was already very difficult for the people to recruit people after they were assigned to the fields. Chen Ying relied on the opinions of later generations and asked craftsmen to create a pedal-style sewing machine.
The current steam engine driving principle is still this way of cranking rod linkage.
The steam engine locomotive at this time was different from later generations. Because Chen Ying built the Chidao before he invented the locomotive. Although this was called Chidao, it was actually a two-way and double-track railway, about one or two feet wide. The track width of the train was all 1 or two feet long, about ten or six feet long.
Flavi Zino bowed and said, "Hisser Duke, are you going to test the drive?"
Chen Ying patted Flavi Zino's shoulder and said, "Okay, Lao Qi, even the steam engine is out!"
Flavi Zino explained carefully: "Hisser Duke, my surname is Flavia..."
Zhou Qing glared at Flavi Zino and shouted: "I'm not hurried to thank the Lord for giving him a surname!"
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Flavi Zino quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Duke!"
Chen Ying listened to this and did not scold Zhou Qing. Instead, he explained to Flavi Zino with great enthusiasm: "Old Qi, this Qi family is a descendant of Jiang Shang, a descendant of Jiang, one of the eight ancient surnames, and takes the country as his surname."
Flavi Zino asked in confusion: "Ancient?"
Chen Ying nodded seriously and said, "Yes, Jiang can be explained as your Greek primitive gods. In China, we were named the eight major surnames of Lu, Jiang, Ji, Ying, Jing, Gui, Yao, and Si in ancient times. Jiang is Shennong, and Jiangshui is the surname. Shennong is equivalent to Apollo in Greece. About two thousand years ago, Jiang Shang, the master of the hundred schools, was named Qi, and his descendants were Qi."
Originally, Flavi Zino was a little reluctant, but after hearing that his ancestor of Qi was so awesome, he did not resist. Don’t think that finding a celebrity ancestor for yourself is the patent of the Chinese. In fact, foreigners also like to pretend to be like this. So Flavi Zino became Zino.
Chen Ying said: "Test drive!"
As the sound of grunting sounds came, the big chimney above the front of the car also began to emit a large stream of white smoke. Chen Ying simply turned over and waited for the front of the car to start moving.
After a loud "whimper" sound at the front of the car, the crankshaft, which seemed to be thicker than the adult's arms, began to drive the wheels to rotate. Then, with the continuous clanging sound, the entire front of the car began to move forward slowly with the carriage.
However, what made Chen Ying extremely distressed was that the speed of this steam engine train was really not worthy of compliment.
