Chapter 116 The trip to the north
"Brothers, move quickly and make sure there is no problem. The king will arrive soon!" The railway station of Shanhaiguan had already been taken over by the Jinyiwei Station, which arrived in advance.
Yang Song, the king of a country, was going to patrol, and of course it was impossible that he was the only one of them. He was traveling with a battalion of Jinyiwei and a regiment of imperial guards. Wang Wei and Zhou Wu were even defending each other.
It is not really the only one of Yang Song and his family on the imperial train. Except for the few cars in the middle of the train, there are guard cars in front and behind, with more than 350 Jinyiwei, as well as maids, cooks, doctors and other personnel.
The Imperial Guards of one regiment took two other trains, one in front and one behind, and minimized all unexpected factors.
Wang Wei arrived at Shanhaiguan first and notified the general guarding the pass that Lu Su was ready to greet him, and in addition, it was also to ensure Yang Song's safety.
After all, the king of a country has left the base camp to prevent things that should not have happened. Even if Yang Song has enough control, he wants to take this opportunity to see if anyone jumped out.
Di Qing, Lu Su and other important generals came to the station to greet him. Seeing Wang Wei's busyness, Lu Su whispered to Di Qing: "General, we must pay attention to the king's inspection this time."
"This general knows." Di Qing glanced at Lu Su beside him, and asked to himself casually, "I just don't know what the king is doing for this inspection?"
"As the document sent from Tianqi City said, the king went north to inspect Shanhaiguan, an important place in his country. When he returned, he had to inspect all the important towns in the north." Lu Su replied: "It's just that the prince, princess and two queens also traveled with the king."
Lu Su did not say the following words. After all, the charge of irresponsible discussion of the king is quite serious, but Di Qing knew what Lu Su wanted to express, and wasn’t it just to go out for a trip in the name of patrol.
Anyway, Shanhaiguan was as stable as a mountain in their hands, and did not allow spies outside the pass to break into the pass, and they were not afraid of Yang Song's blame.
However, the identity of the king Yang Song was there, and there would be a storm wherever he went, and there would be soldiers in the grass and trees, which would inevitably disturb the people, making Di Qing and Lu Su busy for a while.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Song has been staying in Tianqi City and is unwilling to disturb the local people, which makes him suffer a lot of trouble.
During this trip to the north, Yang Song also hesitated again and again. After more than a year of stable operation of the Tianshan Railway, he made up his mind to take his family north to inspect and have some fun.
When Yang Song arrived at Shanhaiguan, it was already nine o'clock that night. Yang Xian and Yang Yan, who were excited all the way, were already drowsy.
Yang Song and his family departed from Tianqi City at 8 o'clock in the morning. Except for adding water to the middle, the train basically took a rest. After an eleven hour journey, they finally arrived at Shanhaiguan, which was 700 kilometers away that day.
If the distance of 700 kilometers was placed in the past, even if there were smooth roads and perfect stations, it would take at least half a month to arrive. Now, with the railway, you can arrive in less than a day or night. If it is suitable for a day or night, you can even get back and forth.
Just this item makes the 700-kilometer distance between Shanhaiguan and Tianqi City almost impossible, which can accelerate the turnover of Xia Kingdom's materials by more than ten times, not to mention the joint impact, which has increased the development speed of Xia Kingdom by more than many times.
It has a greater impact on military dispatch. No matter how few enemies attack Shanhaiguan encounters attacks, as long as it is not captured immediately, the troops in the hinterland of Xia Kingdom can provide continuous support.
This has greatly increased Yang Song's control over Xia State to many times. This is why many ministers can agree and feel assured that Yang Song will go to Shanhaiguan, a relatively dangerous place.
...
"Welcome to the king!"
"See the Great Queen, the Second Queen!"
"See the Great Prince, the Great Princess!"
As soon as Yang Song got off the train, he saw Di Qing, Lu Su, Zhou Wu, Wang Wei and others waiting on the platform.
Yang Song saw that it was already very dark and his two children were tired. Although he didn't rush to go, he was very tired after taking the train for eleven hours, especially for two young people. The more excited he was during the day, the more tired he became.
So he ordered, "Don't be too polite for you, thank you for your hard work. It's too late today. Let's take me and my wife to rest first. If you have any questions, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes, the king." All the ministers took the order, and Lu Su stepped forward and led the way: "Please please, the king!"
The next day, Yang Song spent a morning to handle official duties, met with important officials, and made time with his family to visit Shanhaiguan for an afternoon. Yang Song also asked Lu Su to act as his family's tour guide.
Lu Su is a very competent "tour guide". From the pass walls to the ordinary training ground, he introduced all the worthy views of Shanhaiguan inside and outside.
Yang Song and his family were very happy for an afternoon. When they returned to their residence, Xiaolan and Xiaojuan praised Lu Su. Even Yang Xian, who had just become sensible, knew about Lu Su.
After Yang Song and his family visited the surrounding area of Shanhaiguan for a few more days, that night, Yang Song summoned Di Qing and Lu Su and ordered: "I will go to Guihua City to inspect tomorrow."
When they heard Yang Song's words, the two were shocked, and Lu Su hurriedly replied: "King, Guihua City is outside the pass, and there are dragons and snakes. It may be inappropriate for the king to go to inspect!"
Di Qing and Lu Su thought Shanhaiguan were the end of Yang Song's inspection, but they didn't expect Yang Song to go out of the pass to the outside window of Guihua City, the Xia Kingdom.
Even with the strict control of the Xia Kingdom, the City of Guihua is a mixed city after all, and is mostly native to it, so there is no order in the invisible darkness.
If Yang Song had a good time in Guihua City, they would not have to live anymore. So Di Qing also spoke out and persuaded: "King, there are too many people in the northern Yi of Guihua City, and they may offend the King."
"No, there is no need to say too much." Yang Song waved his hand, interrupted the two of them's persuasion, and replied firmly: "I have decided, there is no need to persuade me, or do you have no ability to protect me from my safety?"
Yang Song's words are harsh. If someone fails to answer well, Di Qing and Lu Su will be labeled as a sign that he is indifferent to the safety of the king and lacks ability.
"Yes, the king, the ministers and others will definitely be crushed to pieces and will definitely guarantee the king's completeness!" When the two of them heard Yang Song's words, they knew that they could not persuade him anymore, so they had to bow and accept the order and say yes.
But if Yang Song is really hurt by this, no matter how great the contribution Di Qing and Lu Su have made, they will be a dead end. This is really a dilemma!
