Chapter 759: The Whistle That Breaks the Tranquility of the Times (Part II)

The people of Chenzhoumen did not disperse because of the departure of the train, the emperor's guard of honor appeared on Chenzhoumen, and the forbidden army had begun martial law, and no one could get close to Chenzhoumen five zhang away.

Zhao Zhen stood on the gate of Chenzhou for a long time, staring at the back of the train and the high column of smoke in a daze, and said cautiously: "The official family ...... Official? Shall we sit down and take a look? ”

Zhao Zhen still stood silently, and Sancai turned his head to Fan Zhongyan and asked, "What's the matter, didn't you send a decree to make Zhao Xiaowu wait?" How many heads does he Zhao Xiaowu have? The will of the official family dares to go against it! ”

Fan Zhongyan explained in a low voice: "Just in case, this steam car is different from other things, but it uses the steam in the boiler to drive the car, and the steam in this boiler is from charcoal boiling water, before that, there is a full hour of water, and the steam in the boiler is full of ...... to come out."

Sancai listened to the explanation, then turned angry and said, "I see! Okay, good...... If you do the right thing, the officials should stay away from these things! Who knows what this first test ride will look like! It's just that I feel my heart pounding just by listening to you. ”

Fan Zhongyan felt a slight contempt in his heart, these three talents are really cowardly, even if the official family comes, it is impossible for the official family to stand very close to the train...... But this eunuch's loyalty to the official family made Fan Zhongyan look sideways, if the official family was surrounded by such people, there would be nothing to worry about.

It wasn't until the train disappeared that Zhao Zhen came to his senses, although the appearance of the train from the drawings reported by the supervisor was not quite the same as that of later generations, but the working principle and driving method were still similar, that is to say, the Great Song Dynasty appeared in the real sense of the world's steam-powered locomotive!

Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed loudly, the laughter could even be heard by the people under the city gate, and at the same time they were happy, but they didn't know why the official family was happy, could it be this train? Many people gradually understand the importance of trains, no need for livestock, no need for manpower, just use coal to drive such a behemoth, if you build a few more, the whole Song Dynasty will run down, hehe...... When you arrive, you can go anywhere you want!

The official's sudden laughter startled Sancai and Fan Zhongyan, who were talking, and then Fan Zhongyan explained: "Official, the appearance of this train has made many people regard it as a flood beast, and there are Taoist priests and half-immortals and others doing it on the side just now......

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Who will be afraid of things they don't understand, not to mention that this train is still emitting black smoke, it is indeed as scary as a behemoth, but the imperial court wants the people to overcome their fears, and the train will become the national weapon of our Great Song Dynasty in the future. ”

Fan Zhongyan and Sancai glanced at each other, it seemed that the official family was in a very good mood, and even took this little thing into consideration, and explained it with an oracle, and sent it to the people with a holy decree, but there was one thing that made Fan Zhongyan a little uneasy: "The official family, how can the craftsman explain to the people that there must be a party or a secret agent from the Liao Dynasty and other countries, and the minister is worried about ......"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "How many objects are involved in the train?" Not to mention the most complicated thing of the steam engine, that is, the steel used to make the train is beyond the reach of the Liao Dynasty and the party, and the steel of my Great Song Dynasty is not something that anyone can refine! ”

Fan Zhongyan thought about it, and then bowed down and said, "The minister's decree!" After speaking, he spoke again: "Official, there are three railroad tracks that have been formed in my Great Song Dynasty, from Tokyo City to Luoyang in Xijing, to Yingtianfu in Nanjing, and to Daimyo's Mansion in Beijing. ”

This is to link the Great Song Dynasty is the land of the four capitals, Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "Since it has been laid, it will be used every day, and now the steam car has been completed, but it is complicated and cumbersome to manufacture, and the railroad track is first used to pull the cart to travel, and the specific way to do it should be clearer than me." Even the horse-drawn carriage is much better than the original running on the cement road, and the fee must be considered, not too expensive, not too poor, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to recover the capital! ”

Fan Zhongyan bowed down and said: "The minister has already made a good plan, and he will be in the official's house at that time." ”

Seeing Fan Zhongyan leaving, Sancai stepped forward and said, "Official, let's go back to the palace!" We've also seen this car, and it's windy on Chenzhou Gate......"

"Today is a test drive, how can I go back, after Zhao Xiaowu drives back, I still have something to ask him, I guess he will be back soon." After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he walked down the Chenzhou Gate, and the people below all looked at him, Zhao Zhen was a little uncomfortable, how to look like an exhibition.

Changing into civilian clothes, Zhao Zhen blended into the crowd under the protection of his guards, and at this moment, the scholar of Gewu and the master craftsman who would be the prisoner were explaining to the people what the behemoth just now was, and the most widely used word was train......

Obviously, the sudden appearance of the railroad tracks of the Great Song Dynasty is attractive enough, and the current train has undoubtedly attracted the attention of foreign ministers, and the envoys from various countries have hurried from the post station to see the freshness, and Zhao Zhen has seen many envoys standing in the front and "listening to the lecture" seriously......

When the craftsmen said that the train could pull six carriages a day, and travel a hundred miles in an hour, most of them showed a horrified expression, and this was only an hour, and the most terrifying thing was that these six carriages were full of goods or people!

Naturally, the envoys of the foreign dynasty converted the goods in the carriage into armaments, grain and grass, and the people in the carriage into soldiers, so what would be the speed of transporting troops in the Great Song Dynasty? Every time he thought of this, the envoys shuddered, especially the party and the Liao Dynasty.

And according to these craftsmen, the train could move day and night, setting up stations along the way, which meant that the transportation capacity of the Great Song Dynasty would be an unprecedented leap, and anyone who knew a little about the way of commerce knew that transportation promoted the development of commerce.

Yelujia was cold, because he had seen the future of the Great Song Dynasty, this future was terrifying for the Liao Dynasty, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty was already very vast, and no inch of land was idle and useless, even the miasma of Lingnan land was in the hands of the Great Song Emperor into a land of fish and rice, and the emergence of the railway made the Great Song Dynasty run through the north and south, and the Great Song Dynasty under the interconnection was afraid that no country could catch up.

Look at the current Da Liao, the domestic chaos is undecided, and the Western Xia people are eyeing each other, which is completely giving the Great Song Dynasty time to recuperate! Is there still a chance for such a big Liao to go south?
