Emperor Chongzhen knew the plan of the remnants of the Emperor Chongzhen through the information fed back by the Grade A eavesdropping seeds on Haoge and Turge. And he could see that these remnants of the Jian Prisoner were desperately carrying out the plan of nine deaths and one life, and he was happy to do it.

The remnants of the Jianju recklessly attacked north, which was in line with the expectation that they would kill each other. It is precisely this desperate style of play that can reduce a lot of resistance when Sun Chuanting's department steadily advances northward.

In addition, if the remnants of Jianyu are so lucky and can really grab a lot of ships to go to sea, whether they can reach the Americas or not, it will add an excuse for Emperor Chongzhen to send troops to the Americas.

Although he had already ventilated among the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty before, why would he want to fight in the world in the future. However, for ordinary people, this kind of thing for the benefit of their children and grandchildren cannot be let know, otherwise it will spread. Everyone, not only the Ming Dynasty, knows that there is more valuable wealth than gold in the underground in the Middle East, the Caucasus and other regions, which is not conducive to the Ming Dynasty to conquer and rule those places.

The remnants of the Ming Dynasty must be eliminated, they fled, and Emperor Chongzhen borrowed the famous words of the strong Han Dynasty: Those who commit the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away! Therefore, at least nominally, it is logical that Emperor Chongzhen will send troops on a large scale to cross the sea to the Americas to continue to pursue and kill the remnants of Jianyu, and it is also something that the people of the Ming Dynasty can understand.

In fact, it is not only the remnants of Jianyu, but also the original governor of Batavia, Anthony, if Emperor Chongzhen really doesn't want to let him go, he can't go. The reason why he was let go was that the effect was the same as that of the remnants of Jianyu, so that the Ming army could go to the West and provide the necessary excuse for entering the Middle East.

Considering that it is now the end of the twenty-first year of Chongzhen, and the weather on the side of the Wa Kingdom has also cooled down, it is not realistic for Sun Chuanting's army to occupy all the Wa Kingdom, so Emperor Chongzhen did not urge him, so he let Sun Chuanting continue to fight steadily, and he will definitely be able to occupy the entire Wa Kingdom next year. In other words, today's Wa State doesn't have to worry about him, and it is already a sure thing to become a province of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, Emperor Chongzhen no longer cared about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, and instead paid attention to the things he was paying attention to. Seriously, he was a little excited.

The steam train, which was only seen in movies and TV series in the previous life, is now officially in the public eye. And this steam train, from the principle to the form, to the improvement, is all soaked in his painstaking efforts.

The birth of a means of transportation that can change this era is very fulfilling!

On November 11, the 21st year of Chongzhen, outside the north gate of Beijing, the newly built railway station was already crowded.

The people of Beijing, even the people of Gyeonggi, saw a notice from the imperial court half a month ago, saying that the train between Jingshi and Tongzhou was scheduled to be officially opened on this Double 11, and the emperor would personally give the first steam train of the Ming Dynasty "eyeball".

Such a big event, not only with the participation of the emperor, but also with the unprecedented "train" to watch, therefore, as long as it can move, all of them flock to the side of Jingshi.

Thanks to the Jingshi, he already had a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of large gathering, so he hurriedly sent the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to stop people. At this point, the people of Gyeongshi alone can't squeeze in, and if the people of Gyeonggi come over again, it is likely that there will be a trampling accident.

The end result was that along the railway line, from Jingshi to Tongzhou, it was all crowded with people. It's as if the train wasn't on the tracks, but in the middle of a crowd.

It is also a loss that when the official road was built, Emperor Chongzhen had already reserved the railway on the side, so there was no need to worry that the people of the Ming Dynasty would have no place to stand. However, as a result, the two-way three-lane highway is blocked, at least on the morning of this Double 11, it is impossible to pass.

All the people, bringing their own dry food, waited for the ceremony to begin while eating. The conditions are better, there are servants, tables, chairs, snacks, and shelters from the wind. As they ate, they talked about the so-called train.

"Do you say, 'This train is on fire?'

"Nonsense, it's not a fire, can you call a train? I don't even know this kind of common sense, where did you come from? ”

"I came here from Qindi to do business, and I just met it, I really haven't heard of it before."

"Oh, Qin Di came here to do business? It is said that Governor Hong reorganized his army in the northwest and asked for a lot of supplies, and many Qindi people took the opportunity to make a fortune, am I right? ”

"Hehe, a little business, now that the country is safe and secure, and the court doesn't do business, you can make more money, and life is indeed a lot better." This Qindi merchant said with a smile, "If you change to before, let alone go out, it will not be safe at home alone." Thanks to the emperor's sage! ”

Hearing him say this, a tall man who was talking to him nodded when he heard this, and said proudly: "That's not it!" The emperor is wise and martial, not to mention leading the army to fight, just this, the train, was proposed by the emperor and built by the prince. This thing is amazing! ”

"What's a great way?" Hearing this, the Qindi merchant said curiously, "I seem to have heard in the fellow villagers' association that the imperial court will also build a road to the northwest, and there will be this train!" ”

The tall man smiled and immediately introduced: "Let me tell you, this train is said to be a carriage that can hold five or six two horses!" And you don't have to worry about getting sick, you can walk day and night, do you say it's amazing? ”

"Such a powerful ......"

“……”

They were talking, and the other people were talking, and the content of the conversation was much the same.

Generally speaking, the world is stable, and the imperial court is not harsh on business, so there are obviously more people doing business.

And the people in Beijing obviously know a lot more than people from other places. Many people took the opportunity to show off their knowledge, starting from a kettle boiling, talking about all kinds of natural knowledge, and even talking about the matter of Guozijian Xiyi, of course, the train is always the center of the topic.

However, most of them, who had never seen a steam train with their own eyes, began to run around the train with their mouths full of mouths, and broke around according to their own imagination.

At the railway station at the north gate of Jingshi, the trains are still parked in the hangar, and people outside can't see it.

While they were waiting, the Jinyi guard finally appeared, and the emperor led the civil and military officials out of the city.

Seeing the emperor appear, there should be etiquette, because it is a festive day, and the shouts of "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live" are full of joy.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen took the queen and the two concubines out of the palace together, and the prince produced it, which also made them happy and happy together.

According to the custom of later generations, it should be a ribbon-cutting ceremony. However, this is not in line with the habits of the East, so Emperor Chongzhen ordered a "eye-catching" ceremony to show his attention.

As soon as the emperor arrived, the door of the hangar slowly opened, and the empress concubine, the six cabinet ministers and other people who were driving behind the emperor were the first to see the locomotive.

However, compared to the people outside, many of them have seen it, so it is not unusual, at most, there will be a question mark in their hearts about the capacity of this train.

But the people outside had never seen it, and when they saw the hangar open, there was a little commotion. However, there were five cities of soldiers and horses and Jinyi guards to maintain order, and they quickly calmed down.

Emperor Chongzhen walked to the high platform next to the locomotive, looked at the courtiers below, and said happily: "The official use of the steam train will inevitably greatly change the traffic status quo of our Ming Dynasty and profoundly affect the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty." I can even say that the lives of people all over the world will be changed by the appearance of this train. The significance of the commissioning of this steam train cannot be overemphasized, so I decided to ......"

Speaking of this, he dragged down a long tone, looked at the prince with a happy face, and then said loudly: "The crown prince Zhu Cihong is a machine grandmaster, and he will receive a Ming Hero Medal." ”

Zhu Cihong was a little surprised when he heard it, but then he was very happy. It's not that he values how much benefit this grandmaster title can give him, but that his dedication in the past two years has been affirmed by his father.

Queen Zhou was also very happy when she heard this. The son has a promising future, and it is the most gratifying for her to be affirmed by his father.

Emperor Chongzhen then gave a reward, and everyone who built this steam train had medals and medals to receive. Officials and craftsmen in key positions, as well as knighthood rewards. However, the Grandmaster Medal is only one for the crown prince.

In the corner of the train station, there is a place for Guozijian. Those prisoners of the country, including those Xiyi, saw this scene, and their eyes showed envy.

For them, they all know the principle of the steam train. Thinking that they can build a steam train through natural knowledge and obtain the title of Daming, many of them have a sense of urgency in their hearts, and they think that they can also learn and make some achievements.

After this ceremony, it is time for the real "eye-catching" ceremony.

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the red pen that Zhu Cihong personally brought over, and after dipping it in vermilion ink, he turned around and came to the exposed locomotive and clicked on the two points representing the two eyes.

Then, the train burned coal, and after brewing for a while, steam erupted, and slowly drove out of the hangar like a monster swallowing clouds.

At this time, even Emperor Chongzhen had to give way to the steam train.

Everyone's focus is on this steam train. I saw a spitting machine slowly drive out, and behind him, dragging a very long box, and then a very long box, and ......

No one expected that this train would be like a centipede, and there would be many sections, which was really unexpected for them to look at.

After all the trains left the hangar, they slowly stopped, and the carriage that had been waiting next to it began to approach the train at the sound of an order, and it could be seen that this was to transfer the things on the carriage to the train.

Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers suddenly sounded "buzzing" again.
