Chapter 616: The Holy Driver Goes North
On August 26 of the first year of Qiansheng, the central railway station in the southern district of Jingshi, a train slowly drove into the platform with a faint white mist, and after the train was stable, the staff opened the train door, and a group of passengers walked off the train, but it was not the same as the ordinary passengers who dragged their families and mouths, and the passengers with large bags were not the same, most of these passengers were well-dressed men, most of them were carrying document bags in their hands, and they carried a small suitcase.
It is normal for dozens of such people to appear, but when a whole train and more than ten carriages come out of such people, then it seems a little abnormal.
Moreover, these people did not leave the station on their own after getting off the train with ordinary passengers, but waited in line according to the people of one carriage after another, and then went out in batches.
After leaving the railway station and arriving at the large square in front of the railway station, there were batches of large four-wheeled passenger carriages pulled by four horses that had been waiting on the side for a long time.
If you get a little closer to these people, you can occasionally hear them talking, and the words they speak are also full of official positions, either this or that, either this or that department.
The same situation not only happened in the central railway station of Nancheng District, Beijing, but also happened at the first wharf in Nancheng District, Beijing, a steam ocean liner of more than 2,000 tons slowly docked with the assistance of a steam tugboat, and after mooring, a large number of well-dressed male passengers disembarked, and then left the dock in batches of large passenger carriages.
These crowds that puzzled ordinary travelers were the officials of the Lin Dynasty who set off from Luohai City or Ansu City and arrived in the capital one after another.
Since it was decided that the capital of the new dynasty would be in Beijing, the new dynasty began to work on the relevant work, after all, the capital of Jingshi was not only Lin Ziran who could run over by himself, but a large number of central institutions also needed to be relocated.
According to statistics, the new dynasty will transfer nearly 3,000 staff from Luohai City, Ansu City and other places to work in the capital area one after another, and this is still the first batch of staff, and there will be more in the future.
After all, after the new dynasty established the capital of Gyeongshi, there were at least dozens of various Gyeonggi directly subordinate institutions alone, and the number of their staff was very large.
Because of the large number of people, it would be very troublesome to bring in a large number of people in a short period of time, so the first batch of staff stationed was only about 3,000 people, and they first went to set up the shelves of various agencies and departments, and then made relevant preparations to welcome more staff to move in.
In order to arrange these many officials, Zhao Laoqi, who arrived in Gyeonggi in the early stage, was also busy.
He came to Beijing, although it is one of his important tasks to clear out the local rebels, but this is only one of his tasks, and there are many other tasks, such as repairing and cleaning up all kinds of buildings in the inner city, whether it is the palace or many other institutional buildings in the inner city, they need to be cleaned up and repaired, so that after the official relocation in the future, Lin Ziran will have a place to live, and various institutions will have a place to work.
After the inner city was finally cleaned up and simply repaired, the first batch of occupancy officials came over.
In the future, they will continue to clean up and rectify the capital area to prepare for the entry of more people in the future, especially the entry of Emperor Lin Ziran.
And there is not much time left for them, because the rectification of the capital area is good, Lin Ziran has made a preliminary decision to officially set off from Ansu City on September 1st and take the train to the capital.
These officials, who arrived many days in advance, need to deal with various affairs before this, and they can't wait for Lin Ziran to officially arrive in Beijing with thousands of officials and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Guards Legion, everything is chaotic, and there is not even a place to live.
Lin Ziran is staying in Jingshi, and it will be a complicated job.
He would be accompanied by nearly 2,000 officers and more than 25,000 heavily armed Guardsmen.
In order to transport so many people, the number of trains associated alone is enormous.
As time passed, more and more officials began to arrive in Beijing, and along with the families of many officials, they also arrived one after another, which made the already deserted Beijing District become lively again.
At the same time, although many buildings still retain traces of the war, the streets of the capital area, which were previously damaged by the war, especially the outer urban areas of Nancheng District, have been basically cleaned up.
Even the empty spaces connecting the outer and inner cities have been repaired, with large numbers of bomb craters buried and destroyed grasslands replanted.
This blank space around the inner city was a military defense area of the inner city before, and hundreds of years ago, the Jingshi was actually only a small part of the inner city, and at that time the Jingshi was to some extent a huge fortress castle, with city walls, moats, etc.
However, the follow-up rapid development of the city, and the periphery successively developed and built Nancheng District, Dongcheng District and Xicheng District.
However, the blank defensive zone in the middle surrounding the inner city has been preserved.
This blank area was also seriously damaged in the previous Battle of Jingshi, because it was the main defensive position of the defenders of the inner city, and behind it was the city wall, which was once subjected to intensive artillery bombardment and was full of craters.
This time to clean up the inner city, it is natural to clean up this place, fill in the ditch, restore the vegetation, rearrange the ditch, and at the same time, at the same time, on the periphery of the blank area, clear out a road dozens of meters wide around the entire inner city.
In addition to this, there are also repairs to the imperial palace and various institutional buildings in the inner city, and the cleaning of ruins and buildings in the outer city of Jingshi.
In the past month or so, the entire Jingshi has actually been a huge construction site, not only the local residents have been mobilized to carry out repairs, but the Lin Dynasty has also sent five engineering divisions, a total of more than 50,000 people to carry out the aftermath of the project.
With the efforts of countless people, more than a month later, although there are still traces of war damage, the whole has recovered.
At this time, it also means that Lin Ziran will arrive in Beijing with a large number of military and political personnel.
On September 1 of the first year of Qiansheng, Lin Ziran officially set off from Ansu City with more than 2,000 civil and military officials and more than 25,000 soldiers of the Guards, and took the train to Beijing in several batches.
Lin Ziran's speed to the north is not fast, or even slow, this special train was originally running at full speed, and when it arrived at the Mihe River, there was no railway bridge to connect it, after the Northern Expedition of Jingzhou began, the Mihe railway bridge that was built by the engineering troops was still under construction, and the railways on both sides could not be connected.
Even if they are connected, the standards of the Dongdingzhou Railway and the Jingzhou Railway are not the same, and they also need to be transferred.
This was replaced by a steam ferry to cross the river, and then on the north bank to take a train from the Gyeongju railway network prepared in advance, so that the north voyage could be continued.
Just tossing around here has delayed more than a day.
This transfer also strengthened Lin Ziran's determination to unify the railway standards of various states and connect the railway networks of various states.
