Chapter 727: Feudal Japan (1)

"Toot", "Toot", "Toot"

Three loud whistles sounded outside Beijing, arousing the exclamations of tens of thousands of onlookers.

"Mother, look, the big train is smoking"

In the crowd, a little girl pointed to the behemoth in front of her and shouted excitedly to her mother.

"This is all under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor."

Just in front of the crowd, nearly a thousand Yu Lin Lang maintained the order of the scene without squinting.

And at the innermost part of the crowd, the Han Emperor Liu Ximing led Su Jin and other important cabinet ministers to prepare for the ribbon-cutting ceremony with a happy face.

This is the newly built Beijing Railway Station.

From the first year of Yuanwu to the fifth year of Yuanwu, after five years of construction, the train line from Beijing to Tianjing was finally officially opened.

"I announced that the first railway in Dahan was officially opened to traffic."

"Hooray"

The crowd erupted in violent cheers.

The first five-year plan of the Han Dynasty was successfully implemented.

Relying on sufficient financial support, the power of Dahan's development appeared unstoppable from the beginning.

In five years, the average life expectancy of Dahan has increased from 38 to 57 years, and the grain output has been bumper year after year.

With the support of the state-owned system, the textile industry, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing industry and so on are booming.

When the Yuanwu Five-Year Statistical Temple conducted statistics, it was found that the GDP growth rate in each of these five years had reached an astonishing 10% or more.

If calculated in silver, the gross domestic product of the Han Dynasty has reached 2 billion taels of silver, which not only completely restored the heyday of the former Ming Dynasty, but also exceeded more than half.

Coupled with the stability of the political system of the Han Empire and the perfection of the secondary distribution mechanism, the living standards of the entire Han people began to rise in a straight line.

All this is intuitively reflected in the clothing and mental outlook of the onlookers around the train station.

At this moment, the Han people do not say that they wear silk and satin, but they also need to wear patched clothes like in the former Ming Dynasty.

Everyone began to wear muslin, and all kinds of clothing styles and colors emerged one after another.

The Han Dynasty is not like the former Ming Dynasty, and the society has to distinguish between three, six, nine and so on, so from the beginning, the social atmosphere of the entire Han Dynasty is very relaxed.

In terms of population, the Han Dynasty has rapidly expanded from 120 million at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China to 150 million people.

There is a thriving attitude in all aspects.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Glorious Train is ready, please board the train."

A uniformed train conductor handsomely walked in front of Liu Ximing and gave him a military salute.

Liu Ximing, who was dressed in a dragon robe, smiled and nodded, and led the ministers to board the Glory train.

After five years of construction, Tianjing City has also preliminarily completed the urban construction.

Liu Ximing had already announced at the court meeting half a month ago that he would move to Tianjing as soon as possible.

And this train will also undertake this glorious mission, escorting His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and members of his cabinet to Tianjing.

"Hooray"

"Hooray"

As the train started slowly, watching Liu Ximing wave to everyone through the window, the onlookers were boiling again.

Looking at the scenery outside the window moving slowly, Su Jin, Dou Yuquan and others felt infinite emotion in their hearts.

Who would have thought that such a big change in the past few years would be like turning the world upside down.

"Your Majesty, with this artifact, it will be easy for my Han to control the Western Regions and Mobei."

In the past five years, the Han military has not been idle.

The Northwest Front Army had already invaded Zhunger, officially announcing that all the territories under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Regions Protectorate had been included in the hands of the Han army.

As for the north, it is even more ferocious.

With ample logistical support, the Han soldiers had largely swept away the Rakshasas east of the North Sea and incorporated all of Siberia into their hands.

The Han Dynasty also formally established Xianbei Dao and set up government agencies.

At this time, although the Rakshasa Kingdom has expanded to Xianbei, they rely on the way that small forces infiltrate year by year, and the entire Rakshasa Kingdom is only a few thousand people in Xianbei.

Faced with the formed forces of the Han army, these Rakshasas knew for the first time what it was like for the natives to face them.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xianbei Dao area was too vast, these Rakshasas would not be able to run away from any of them.

Su Jin gave his hand excitedly, "The minister has requested that more money be allocated to the Ministry of Transportation in this year's budget, and two more railways must be built this year." ”

In the special box, Liu Ximing laughed.

"Prime Minister, you want to repair the rhythm of the whole country, but the railway is not said to be repaired, if it weren't for the fact that Tianjing to Beijing is a horse Pingchuan, this railway would not have been built so quickly."

As soon as Liu Ximing said this, Su Jin and other cabinet ministers all nodded again and again.

They have also read the report of the Ministry of Transport, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to in the construction of the railway, and now everyone has to admire the foresight of His Majesty the Emperor.

In the early stage, a railway was built on the plains, and then the foundation was laid for the construction of the railway.

After five years of construction, the mature construction team of the Ministry of Transport has started the construction of 20 railways at the same time, with a total mileage of 8,000 miles.

Liu Ximing looked at Su Jin with a smile, "Don't worry, this railway will definitely be repaired, but it can't delay major events in other places." ”

After speaking, Liu Ximing looked at the Taiwei Cao Bianjiao on the side.

"Captain, how is the military's preparations for operations in the direction of Japan and the South Seas?"

Cao Bianjiao was dressed in a military uniform and saluted excitedly.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that with the cooperation of Jin Wuwei and Guoan Temple, the work of the Governor's Office of the three armed forces in Nanyang and Japan is going smoothly, and it is expected that the relevant work will be started within this year."

"Well, Nanyang I am not worried", Liu Ximing nodded.

The whiteskins are now in the South Seas only the Dutch control the island of Java, and the rest of the world is more in the hands of the Sultans.

In the past five years, the Han army has completed the construction of twelve ironclad ships, and it only took four or five battles to wipe out the Dutch and the navies of other sultanates.

The Dutch, who looked confused, still wanted to send someone to Dahan to listen to the intelligence of the ironclad ship, but now Dahan has already implemented very strict entry regulations for foreigners, and has also begun national security education for their own country.

Even foreign missionaries such as John Tang and Li Zhisi were targeted by intelligence agencies such as Jin Wuwei, and the white skin's desire to get all kinds of techniques of the Han Dynasty was like ascending to the sky.

It was under such firepower that Siam, the Malay Peninsula, and the Sunda Islands all fell into the hands of the Han army.

These local sultanates were all wiped out if they refused to submit, and those who surrendered were also reformed in accordance with the national and religious policies of the Han Dynasty.

Relying on the prestige of the Chinese civilization in Nanyang and the strength of the Han army like heavenly soldiers, there are not many countries in Nanyang that dare to resist.

As for the Netherlands, if it weren't for the fact that they were a little unsparing now, the Han army would have wiped them out a long time ago.

What Liu Ximing is really worried about now is Japan.

Without him, Japan is simply too populated.

With a population of nearly 20 million, a long history, and a single ethnic system, Japan is unique in East Asia compared to Korea.

With the establishment of the Joseon King Liu Xixian's feudal domain, the relationship between Korea, which originally called itself Little China, became closer to the Han Dynasty, and even the Han army began to use the Korean army in small quantities to accompany the battle.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that the military is well prepared in Japan, and I believe that once it is launched, it will be like a thunderbolt."

"Let's hope so"

With the rumbling of the train, Tianjing gradually appeared in front of the Han monarchs.

Looking at the fairyland-like city in front of them, Su Jin and the others all opened their mouths wide.

Even Liu Ximing couldn't help but marvel.

This city, which integrates Chinese architectural civilization with modern civilization, will surely become the center of the world.

On July 1, the fifth year of Yuanwu, the Han court moved from Beijing to Tianjing.
