Although the horse-drawn train sounds a little ridiculous, it is also a helpless way for Qi Guo.

Moreover, there is a precedent for this method in the history of later generations, and this precedent is full of the backwardness and shame of the Chinese nation.

In the past, when the Manchu court mined the Kaiping coal mine, transportation became a problem due to the large output.

Tang Tingshu, the general office of the Mining Bureau, wanted to build a railway. Previously, Li Hongzhang had asked the Qing court to lay a railway, and had been arguing with the conservatives for more than ten years.

At that time, the royal family feared that the construction of the railroad would make it easier for foreign invasion to transport troops, causing a crisis of rule. The doctor thought that the train was emitting black smoke and was very noisy, which was really harmful and not beneficial.

The poor people believed that the construction of the railway would destroy the fields and affect feng shui.

In this context, when almost the whole country opposed the construction of the railway, Li Hongzhang hinted that Tang Tingshu should repair the railway in the name of building an express road.

However, the railway was repaired, but the Qing court did not allow the use of the locomotive, because the train track was near the Qing government's Qing Dongling in Zunhua.

The horse-drawn train was naturally ignorant and ignorant in the environment at that time, but the horse-drawn train of Qi was different, which was an epoch-making feat.

The emergence of this railway can not only solve the problem of low transportation capacity in Qi country.

It also allows you to gain experience for real trains in the future.

After the firecrackers were set off, Yang Hao began to have people load the goods that were going to be transported to the south onto the carriage.

With a crisp whip, the carriage moved slowly forward.

Seeing that such a heavy load could be pulled by eight horses, the banks of the river suddenly erupted in shocking cheers.

The appearance of the horse-drawn train, which later historians called a feat in human history, was the first industrial revolution of the Qi country.

It marks the first time that human beings have the ability to change nature since they got out of dreams and ignorance.

The grand explosion of science and technology during the Hongwu period has never appeared again for many years in later generations.

Even with the increasing development of science and technology, it is difficult to replicate the progress that has crossed several levels of civilization from primitive to industrial.

It was only a month later that Marat truly revealed his amazing abilities to the world.

As long as there are enough horses at the various supply stations, this mode of transportation can be carried out day and night.

Within a month, the circulation of goods from the north to the south was completed.

In Yang Hao's eyes, the railway lines are all key cities to be developed.

There is no doubt that the emergence of the railway will definitely drive the surrounding economy, even if there is only one railway now, and it is not a civil railway, Yang Hao believes that this situation will not last long.

When the railway is applied to civilian use, the economy of Qi will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Distance will not be a big problem for the Qi country.

In the barracks on the banks of the river, the young sailor watched curiously at the bustling scene of the place known as the Wagon Station, which was his favorite thing to do after a day's training.

Horse-drawn trains depart every seven days, and he fantasizes about the day when he will be able to experience what it's like to ride in such a magical vehicle.

It's just that he knows that this idea may not be realized until much later.

It was now the middle of May in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, and if nothing else, he would follow the fleet to the uncharted seas in mid-June.

He had never seen what the sea was like so far, and in his imagination, the sea was an incomparably terrifying place.

It's just that now that he has become a sailor, it means that there is no turning back.

The young man looked at his body, which was much stronger than before, and muttered, "I must come back alive." ”

And then the call of his companion came.

"Jiang Liu, it's time to eat, hurry down."

Jiang Liu is not the original name of the young man, he originally had no name, and after coming to Chang'an City, he gave himself such a name.

The river flows like this mighty water, which flows non-stop, representing his hope for the future.

He climbed down from the mast of the drill and followed his companion briskly towards the place to eat.

And after dinner on this day, Jiang Liu and the others received a new order.

The above explained that starting tomorrow, these people will go to Penglai Port by boat for a month-long sea exercise.

The news is blind, and the day they are not far from leaving.

For a while, the atmosphere was very dull, although the life in the barracks was boring.

This place alone can at least ensure that they have enough food to eat, and they can also see the prosperity of Chang'an City.

Especially the drooling snacks in Chang'an City, as well as the exciting Keju competition.

But this moment was coming to an end soon, and the moment they stepped into the ocean, their lives were no longer theirs.

In the vast sea, whether you can survive or not, half of the situation depends on God's face.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the first batch of Jiangliu's vanguard troops boarded the ship to Penglai.

Standing on the deck, looking at the military camp that is gradually moving away, and Chang'an City that is gradually moving away.

Jiang Liu was a little reluctant.

The rolling water flowed eastward, and they, the sailors who boarded the ship, floated like duckweed on the river to the unknown distance.

Yang Hao stood on the embankment and looked at the distant ships, and blessed them in a low voice.

They are not just an expedition, but also carry the expectations of millions of people in the Qi country.

The tall mast disappeared into the distant horizon.

Yang Hao stood here for a long time, humming the song of the classic movie in a low voice.

I'm sailing,

I'm sailing,

Crossing the ocean, returning home,

I sail through the rough waves,

To be close to you,

For the sake of freedom,

I'm flying,

I'm flying,

I'm flying,

Like a bird flying through the sky,

Flew over the clouds high in the sky

。。。。。。

"Go forward, my sailors, this king is here to bless you, I hope you can return safely, you will be the heroes of the Qi country! Go forward, my people, my great Qi. ”

Yang Hao muttered.

At this time, on the Penglai wharf, there were four of the most advanced sail warships of Qi State, even the materials and technology had been prepared very properly, but it took a year to start construction at the same time in two shipyards, and only four ships were barely built.

The materials for the voyage had been transferred here from all over the country half a month ago, just waiting for the fleet to sail to the vast sea.

After several days of sailing, the river finally arrived at the port of Penglai, and when they saw the endless sea for the first time, they were deeply shocked by the spectacular natural wonders in front of them.

Human beings are so small in the face of such natural might.

The crew looked at the blue sea for a long time and was silent.
