It will be very cold in Dengzhou this winter, so this maiden train will carry all the cheap soybeans and coke from the Daimyofu.

This is not a gift to Wang Gongchen, but an exchange of resources. The fishing industry in Dengshu Port is well developed, and fish is very cheap, and the feed industry and industry in the Daimyo Prefecture require a large amount of fish, and the price of fish has been strong.

Wow wow –

Sitting in the carriage, listening to the whistle of the train, looking out the window at the white expanse along the way, now it is all northern scenery.

This blink of an eye is like a world away, this is the first time that the Great Demon King has made a train in the Great Song Dynasty. The last time I was closest to the train, it was in Ye Wushuang's laboratory, and it was only a ppt.

At that time, the things discussed were very empty, and the Great Demon King told them not to fake the big empty truth, and to take it step by step. So everyone lowered their goals and only designed a train with a load of 20 tons and a speed of 7 knots.

In that year, the railway from Funing County to Suide County was running at a loss.

Even with that kind of load and speed, there were many problems in the early stage of operation, all kinds of problems, coordination and scheduling problems, mechanical failure problems, and all kinds of problems. All problems are slowly solved in that environment, whether it is management, operation, technology, production and so on, every link has been improving.

Until the outbreak of the Qingtang War and the period when the Volunteers entered the Hehuang War, Lu Huiqing relied on a more reasonable railway management system and operated a large number of second-generation trains to support the Volunteers to win the Hehuang War.

Now relying on the maturity of the third-generation steam engine, the maiden special train that Dayan took is also the third generation, which is already 17 cars, 80 tons of load, and carries a total of four carriages, one of which is a car of soybeans, two cars of coke, and the other car is the "private room" of Wang Yan's envoys, which is temporarily added.

However, this is the locomotive made by Lao Xu and their factory as a whole, and the locomotive of Cao Ji cannot run in 17 knots, and the failure rate is very high after exceeding the speed of 14 knots. Just like the 12nm paper data used by AD's CPU in later generations, it was hung by Intel's 14nm, and the operating frequency stopped at 4300, and no one could do anything about it. Although toothpaste is obscene, the frequency of running on 5000 is like drinking water, and the cost is not large.

Technological craftsmanship is sometimes so capricious, and there is technology that can really do whatever it wants.

Of course, objectively speaking, the locomotive is still a good seller of Cao Ji, and Cao Ji's locomotive will be bought after the purchase of big birds, and after Cao Ji's locomotive reduces the speed to thirteen knots, it is not necessarily much more difficult to use than Xu Langshan's, and all the data are acceptable, and it is also a special thief......

When the special train entered Dengzhou, thousands of people were empty, and many people came to join in the excitement and watch. The people of Dengzhou are all dirt buns, they have never seen this thing, and I heard that the people of the Daimyo Mansion brought coke, which can generate a very large amount of firepower to help the people of Dengzhou survive the winter.

Some of the people who eat melons voluntarily came to join in the fun, and some were organized by Wang Gongchen to "save face", which caused the railway station to be crowded and impassable.

Followed by the old cousins of Dengzhou, they fell one after another, and when they saw the guards of the Great Demon King coming down from the special train to be on guard, they were too earthy, and they were powerless to complain about the dress of the new army after seeing the domineering military uniforms of the Great Song Dynasty.

"It was these buns that won the Battle of Qingtang?" The audience discussed, "But there is no way, it is a military uniform designed by the Great Demon King, and his aesthetic is this virtue." ”

After getting out of the car, Da Yan looked up at the heavy snow, tightened his bearskin cloak, and heard the good news from the Dengzhou Shipyard.

Although the railway was postponed, Dengzhou Shipyard was required to issue the first frigate verification ship in February this year to start sea trials.

However, it is only the middle of January, and the first Navy frigate verification ship has come out, and Lao Luo Dad said that the second sea trial is almost over, and he will go out for the second offshore voyage seven days ago, and he should return to Hong Kong tomorrow.

"The design displacement is 1,500 tons, including 200 marines in the content. Thirty-nine cabins, loaded with fourteen second-generation Fire Dragon Navy Edition, with a speed of 21 knots. ”

In the Dengzhou Shipyard, which was still quite grassroots, when the technicians reported like this, even the big duck was shocked, and he lost his voice and said, "Twenty-one knots of speed? Are you kidding me? ”

Old Luo Dad said: "Don't be sloppy." When you first gave instructions for the development of naval frigates, Lord Shen Kuo gave relevant support and suggestions, saying that it was necessary to load a steam engine to achieve a balance between efficiency and cost. However, we organized a delegation to Dengzhou and built a shipyard with the strong support of the Zhizhou Yamen, but we encountered some problems when we entered the design stage. ”

At this point, Wang Yan came to the interest and said, "Tell me carefully." ”

Lao Luo Dad continued: "At that time, the biggest problem was that there was no railway, Dengzhou was not Beijing, and many of the large-scale high-end equipment we needed could not be transported, although the shipbuilders who were temporarily convened for training here were led by masters, but the technical background was not enough, so I discussed with a few colleagues in the shipyard that it was unrealistic for Lord Shen Kuo to ask for the design of a 2,500-ton frigate, not that it could not be done, but to wait for equipment and more skilled workers, so that the construction period you instructed would be delayed." Under the existing conditions in Dengzhou at that time, we agreed that the safest way to do this was to take two steps back and design the easier 1,500-ton class. ”

"But this space and volume are limited, and it is not suitable for optional steam engines, and it is not suitable for carrying a large amount of coal with low energy density to the ocean. So we revised the plan again, abandoned the steam engine option, and ordered a gasoline engine from the internal combustion engine plant. ”

"The gasoline engine is not mature and stable now, but no matter how bad the thrust-to-weight ratio is, it is also significantly better than the steam engine. The biggest advantage is the fuel energy density, so the current first-generation frigates can achieve a longer range of 1,500 tons than the earliest plan of 2,500 tons. ”

Old Luo Dad reported.

Wang Yan frowned slightly and said, "This can be regarded as a compromise plan under the rights and interests, so it is okay." Military use, not much sensitivity to cost and cost, this point is not unacceptable. But in fact, now that our navy's requirements for speed are not so high, and the navy's operating mechanism is in the run-in stage, there are also very big hidden dangers in the safety of fuel preservation. ”

"I'm always saying, don't blindly rejoice in great achievements, anything is not as advanced as possible, what you want is practical, grass-tolerant, stable, and safe, otherwise sooner or later the steps will be bigger. As an accumulation, this design idea can be retained, and it can be counted as a verification and accumulation. However, gasoline, as a unique black technology of the Great Song Dynasty, cannot be replenished elsewhere. Now the overall need for large-tonnage heavy warships, low efficiency is not afraid, the navy most needs grass-tolerant, mature, stable and low-cost steamships, stupid big black coarse, it doesn't matter if you look at the soil. As long as it's easy to use. ”

Seeing that their faces were like the bottom of the pot and a little deflated, Wang Yan said again, "Don't be discouraged, I blame me for not making this matter clear, but I only wanted a boat and forced this compromise plan." Now that it has been verified, for the time being, the navy does not need much range to intervene in the situation in the Bohai Sea, and it does need a fast boat. As a result, there will be two purchases, but this ship type is not worth continuous excavation for the time being, and it is still necessary to concentrate on the development of large-tonnage steam engine ships to save resources. ”

……

After inspecting the shipyard, I wanted to go to the city to see how their trade was going. But seeing that Wang Gongchen's face was embarrassed and not very happy, Wang Yan knew that he was tired of it.

This makes people very helpless, for the time being, Wang Yan and he are allies, and some problems are not convenient to poke. The City Park Division is the customs, theoretically the "dispatched agency" of the three divisions, the governing power is not in the place, Wang Gongchen can control it because he is the last three divisions, and those are his protégés.

Forget about giving him face, so Wang Yan took the accompanying officials and guards to inspect the Dengzhou garrison Sishui military camp.

As the current heavyweight maritime trade port of the Great Song Dynasty, the scale of the Dengzhou Navy makes Wang Yan unable to complain, and there are only nine ships, which are said to be warships, which are worse than the inland commercial ships of the Industrial Division, and the small warships with a displacement of about 100 tons are also loaded with two bed crossbows.

This is simply a project to cheat funds, the purchase of the Great Song Dynasty's divine arm bow is sky-high, and the output of the bed crossbow is smaller, because it is large, so it will be even more sky-high.

The staffing is only 500 men in two battalions, and it is not known how many people there actually are.

In the heavy snow, two banners of the forbidden army can be seen fluttering outside the barracks, the flag on the left reads "The Infantry Division of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army", and the right reads "The Ninth General Stone of the Northeast of the Divine Guard Army".

Because no one knows exactly when the big demon king will arrive, these guys were lazily barbecing when they entered the camp, chatting with each other about yellow jokes.

After seeing the banner of the Great Demon King, Shi Jie, the commander of the navy, hurriedly put on his helmet, ran over and knelt down on one leg and said, "The last general will see the Privy Council, Lord Chengzhi......" said while slapping his palm, "The last general should be damned...... The last will be damned......"

Wang Yan frowned and raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't pretend to be forced, tell me simply, how many ships are there on duty at sea for the navy?" ”

"Yes......" Shi Jie scratched his head and looked at Wang Gongchen.

However, Wang Gongchen pretended not to know him.

Shi Jie had no choice but to say, "Back to the capital, the government is fair, now it's cold, and not a single ship is on duty." Due to the absence of emergencies, there has been no case of our Song Kingdom merchant ships being attacked for the time being. ”

Wang Yan looked at the sea and muttered, "It's like the truth." I believe that no Song merchant ships were attacked, but this is because there are no Song merchant ships carrying goods at sea. Because the environment does not allow, no one is stupid, and they dare not risk their net worth. For a long time, some pirates have been rampant, causing the Song merchants to sell their ships to pirates cheaply, and now my Song Dynasty is passively doing business, waiting for the pirates to rob others, and the pirates will buy our goods at a low price, right? This is a monopoly, a trade hegemony. When there are no other participants, the price is, of course, up to the pirates. ”

No one answered, because they couldn't answer.

Now Wang Yan didn't want to talk about this nonsense, and said, "Shi Jie, do you have anyone under you who has ever been to the sea?" ”

Shi Jie said embarrassedly, "Yes, yes, the general climate is not for them, maybe they can't fight, but there are really some old sailors, old seamen, ......"

Wang Yan raised his hand and interrupted, "They were requisitioned by me, and this part of the people was selected centrally, and the Beijing Garrison Department of the Water Army was transferred, and I will give you an edict as a proof, and you can go to Sanya slowly to go through their transfer procedures." But I'm going to use it now, and I'll give it to Ma Jinsi to train after I organize it. ”

"The last will obey." Shisuke hurriedly responded.

Wang Gongchen didn't want the Great Demon King to continue to stab around and mess up Dengzhou, so he leaned in and said in a low voice, "Princess Zhao Yunxi has returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and it just so happens that she is in Dengzhou now." You should want to meet her, right? ”

Okay, go meet......

went to the special room in the back hall of the state government, and Zhao Yunxi was a middle-aged beauty in winter, lazily roasting the fire.

After seeing Da Yan come in, Zhao Yunxi got up to greet him, swept the snowflakes off his body, and said with a smile, "I was really hurt by you this time, I was trapped in Goryeo for almost a year, and now I can go home." ”

"Are you sure you're not having trouble with your ass?" Da Yan said curiously: "Didn't you say that Wang Xi is handsome?" ”

Zhao Yunxi suddenly said with black lines on his face, "Handsome is handsome, but he has no shortage of women, obviously he is also controlled by the Liao State, and he can't mess around with his temperament, so he rarely sees me, and basically can't listen to what I say." In addition, they are similar to house arrest, they all avoid seeing me, and they do not issue home papers. ”

Wang Yan frowned and said, "It's too much, this is not house arrest." If you don't sign it, you won't issue it, and you don't need to report to the Song court, can you just go yourself? ”

Zhao Yunxi touched his huge chest and said worriedly, "Safety first, their pirates are fighting the sky and the air at sea, and their ships will be checked." This is a threat, and Hongu fears that if I don't have a document, my ship will have an accident at sea. ”

Wang Yan said with a heartless appearance: "If there is an accident on Princess Song's ship, then there will be an excuse to send troops to the Bohai Sea to suppress bandits." How dare you? How can you not even figure this question through? ”

"But I'm just afraid, I'm a woman, you don't have a conscience to think about me?" Cho Yun-hee's coquettish appearance.

Wang Yan said embarrassedly, "Okay, actually, I understand, there are some things that cannot be described in words, but I believe that the situation in Kaijing at that time really made you dare not leave." For example, if a common person is threatened by a gang, the ordinary people cannot even call the police, because some things are not clear and the government cannot intervene. It's all a feeling. ”

Zhao Yunxi stretched out his hand and pinched his face, and said with a smile, "You are just this good, down-to-earth, able to understand people, and able to say that it is critical." To put it bluntly, I know what situation the Daimyo Mansion was facing at that time, Cao Ji refused to open a vault for the safety of the coal yard industry chain, and you waited for me to go back and open a vault to stabilize the situation. But if you think so, of course the people of Liao will not let you get your wish, so I can't say clearly, no one threatened me openly at that time, but that atmosphere just made me feel that something would happen if I walked strongly. I'm so scared and I'm a weak woman, that's all. ”

Wang Yan took a deep breath and said, "At that time, it was indeed my wrong deployment to ask you to visit Goryeo, and I am to blame for this." ”

Cho Yun-hee smiled: "Are you apologizing?" ”

"I'm not apologizing, you think too much, I never apologize." Wang Yan snorted and shook his hand.

Cho Yun-hee also stopped laughing and said, "Do you really want to go to Goryeo as an envoy at this time?" Visually, you will definitely find yourself bored, and I won't tell you, Lao Xiao, the governor of the Northern Mansion of Liao, is also in Kaijing now, and with him over there, do you still expect the Koreans to give you a good face? ”

Wang Yan slowly shook his head and said, "I have to go, no matter what, I have to get Fujiwara Mitsuko home first, otherwise the Japanese will never dare to do business with the Great Song Dynasty again." ”

"You're a responsible demon king, the rumors are true, in fact, you're really a bit of a righteous person. Fujiwara Mitsuko believes that you are right. Although you are a good person to plan bigger obscenities, she will like you. Zhao Yunxi smiled, stretched his waist and said, "Okay, the palace is lacking, if you don't want to stay and serve the old lady, get out of here." ”

The big goose slipped away decisively.

Speaking of which, there was indeed the feat of "Respectfully Inviting Princess Lanyu" back then, but it was not in the country when he was young and frivolous, and he was not good for the princess of his own family. Damn, who has time to serve her, mainly after pit her this time, come to condole, and by the way, see if she has been overly bullied by the Koreans.

As long as she is in good condition, because now Xiao Zhao knows the Zongzheng Temple, and she needs the support of this big tyrant woman, otherwise Xiao Zhao doesn't understand the many moths inside the sect at all, and it is easy to step on thunder. The affairs of the clan are actually the most difficult to deal with......
