Chapter 664: Steam Engines and Rails
Ten more regiments will add 20,000 soldiers and horses.
Behind him, Cao Zhengchun and others couldn't help but be surprised.
Isn't an army group up to 50,000 soldiers?
Hanxin Group, not an inch of success, did not fight a war, but the number of soldiers and horses increased exceptionally.
Also, Luoyang should be repaired like Chang'an.
Does Your Majesty want to move the capital to Luoyang in the future?
Where can it be the national capital?
"Your Majesty, so that the main troops and horses of Korea and Wei are contained in the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea in the east, why not take the opportunity to order the Qinglong Group Army to send troops to capture Han Wei's city near Luoyang.
In this way, Marshal Han Xin will have no objection to adding troops and horses. ”
Ye Qing shook his head and said: "No, without the East China Sea Kingdom and the Bohai Sea Kingdom, my Great Zhou's soldiers and horses want to advance eastward, and Han and Wei can't stop it."
They thought that my Great Zhou needed allies in the east to contain them, but in fact they thought badly.
My Great Zhou's soldiers are invincible without allies, let them fight, I need to recuperate and accumulate some strength. ”
"As for Han Xin's side, there are only 70,000 soldiers and horses, which is too few, there are no 100,000, how can Han Dashuai be kind enough to send troops to fight, and it doesn't seem to be stumbling."
The decree was sent to Luoyang.
The generals of Luoyang gathered one after another.
"Marshal, has Your Majesty approved us to send troops?"
The generals were looking forward to it.
Han Xin smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty did not agree to us sending troops, and also added 20,000 soldiers and horses to us. ”
"What?"
The generals were a little stunned.
If we don't approve of sending troops, what are we doing with 20,000 soldiers and horses?
Han Xin received the holy decree and said: "Your Majesty said, next, my Qinglong Group Army must not make trouble, cannot send troops, and must repair Luoyang, when will Luoyang be repaired into Chang'an, when will we be able to send troops!" ”
"Ahh
The generals are even more confused!
Repair the city!
Our dignified Qinglong Group Army wants to repair the city and become sappers!
Isn't this a joke?
A Luoyang is so big as Chang'an, the capital of the country, is it necessary?
Luoyang doesn't have so many people, build it so big, it will become a ghost city!
"There is no need to question it, this is His Majesty's order, for which His Majesty also asked the Ministry of Industry to open a cement branch in Luoyang, and all the cement produced by this branch is used to build the city." Han Xin's eyes flashed with essence, and a look of confidence rose on his face.
"One word, just do it, as long as we repair fast, the time to send troops will be early, you know, the Kanto region is very large, why Luoyang wants to build so big, one is because of the hoarding of food, the second is to garrison soldiers, and the third is to garrison people.
Only a big city is in the east, and after the Great Sunday, can the countries of the Kwantung be deterred, and from here can a steady stream of eastward expansion without affecting Chang'an.
After Chang'an, the main energy must be to the west, to the west of the river, to the desert of the north, and to the south of the Wuman. ”
Han Shin is undoubtedly smart.
With Ye Qing's simple order, he had already comprehended a lot of information.
The Great Zhou wanted to unify the East.
How can a big country have only one national capital?
Both countries are just undermatched.
If you want to dominate the East, you need more Chang'an.
Luoyang is only the first, not the last.
His position is the most important position.
The Blue Dragon Army is the core of the empire.
Fame is only a matter of time.
Out of the east base, he Han Xin built it.
………………
The war on the front line is watched by the cabinet.
Ye Qing took Guo Jia and Li Ru to start a private visit to Weifu near Chang'an.
Investigate the basic situation of Da Zhou.
At the same time, I also went to various places to inspect factories and mines.
The most important thing is that Ye Qing went to Hedong.
Hedong Ice City, which is the new industrial base of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the industrial zone of Chang'an, is the prototype of the current industry of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The development of smelting technology in Hedong has made great progress on the original basis.
A steady stream of iron ore and coal mines in Beishiguo are imported.
Let the steel blood of Da Zhou continue to flow.
A small figure following Ye Qing kept recording something.
Ye Qing leaned up and asked, "Ou Yezi, I want to build a machine powered by steam."
After this kind of machine is built, it can replace cattle and horses, and lay two tracks on the ground to pull thousands of catties of objects.
The point is that it doesn't need to eat, it just needs to add water and coal! ”
"Your Majesty, you want me to design a steam engine." Ou Yezi thought for a while and said:
"You said the principle of this before, I have also tested it, it is feasible, but I don't know how strong the power of this steam engine can be, if it is not as good as cattle and horses, it is not cost-effective, it is better to let cattle and horses run in the track!"
Well!
Let the cows run with the horses in the tracks, the train driven by the livestock?
It seems to be feasible, although the power is not strong, but it can also greatly save effort.
Ye Qingzhi was suddenly opened up by Ou Yezi.
Then he smiled and said: "You make a simple one first, and slowly improve it, as long as there is a first one, there will be a better one." ”
After speaking, he said to Guo Jia: "Record it, notify the Ministry of Industry, build a track in Hedong, and pass the gate to pull coal, and use oxen to pull horses."
Take a look at the applicability of such tracks.
If it is feasible, it will be laid in Guanzhong, and my idea is to lay a railway track from Chang'an to Luoyang first.
Israel will be able to transport troops and supplies in the future.
By the way, it is best to spread one from Chang'an to Meridian Valley, so that the materials from Bashu can be sent to Chang'an as soon as possible and to the east of the empire as soon as possible! ”
"Your Majesty! I will step up the arrangements so that the Cabinet can deliberate it earlier and allocate money and food as soon as possible. Guo Jia also felt that Ou Yezi's little proposal was good.
Young people, imaginative.
Next, Ye Qing continued to inspect and guide.
I went to see the glass factory, and I also went to the greenhouse glass greenhouse to check the improvement of vegetables.
After turning around, I turned back from Hedong to the Huashan faction and looked at the construction of the Huashan faction.
When I returned to Chang'an, I thought it would be a month later!
"Your Majesty, Nanyang sent a battle report, 30,000 Suzaku Group, Euphorbia, and 40,000 Right Cavalry Guards, confronting the army of Chu Yue in Xinye and Wancheng.
Di Qing withdrew from Xinye, gave way to Chaoyang, and retreated to the championship.
The Wancheng Chu Yue army has been attacking for more than ten days, and is besieging the city, and has not launched a new war! ”
The first time Ye Qing came back, the Ministry of Defense reported the news.
Ye Qing walked to the sand table map and glanced at it.
asked: "Wancheng can ask for help, how is Di Qing going to fight?" ”
"Wancheng didn't ask for help, Zhang He's halberd warriors were all in the city, and Chu Yueguo couldn't get in. Huang Zhong was in Nieyang and could interfere with the attacking Chu Yue army at any time.
In addition, Di Qing took the initiative to retreat to Anzhong, and his troops were still there, and he had the ability to continue to move south, so the army of Chu Yue was distributed in various cities, and the troops after sharing it were not enough to launch a deadly attack on Wancheng! Bai Qi said:
"Di Qing intends to let Zhuyang's soldiers and horses go south, feint to attack Xiangyang, and suppress the army of Chu Yueguo, so that they dare not divide more soldiers and horses to the north!"
