"Zhengyi, is that the six-hundred-mile urgent messenger of the military department?" a voice came from behind him.

Li Jing turned around and found that it was Qin Liangyu who was standing behind him with Ma Xianglin at some point, looking at the shore in the distance, and a small group of cavalry galloped over. The first man was carrying a red wooden box. The helmet is decorated with red feathers.

"Yes, Aunt Qin, it is the six-hundred-mile expedited by the Ministry of War, which is estimated to be an urgent order for you." Li Jing himself went to Yingkou and would not give himself orders in Tianjin.

The huge fleet began to dock, and the 6,000 stone pillar soldiers began to climb down the side of the ship along the rope net ladder and down to the trestle, and the sailors of the Li family quickly set up wooden pulley cranes on the dock, and a large number of wooden boxes containing military supplies were unloaded from the fleet. A large number of Sichuan horses were driven from the gangplank to the dock, and heavy leather cannons were unloaded from the gangplank by the native soldiers.

The Flaming Phoenix finally docked, the steel retractable gangway pulled from the side by rope and placed on the trestle on the side of the ship. Qin Liangyu waited for the ladder to be placed, and hurriedly took the stone pillar generals down, and Li Jing also followed.

"It's Qin Liangyu and Qin Dashuai in person," the Hongling messenger turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted.

"It's the commander, but there is an urgent order from the Ministry of War" Qin Liangyu showed his waist card and seal.

"The Ministry of War urgently ordered, please Qin Shuai to receive, sign and decharge" The messenger quickly took out the wooden box from the package on his back, Qin Liangyu carefully observed that the fire paint was intact, and signed and accepted it.

After the messenger left, Qin Liangyu opened the wooden box, and inside was an official document and a war report.

"Liaodong is at war" Qin Liangyu groaned after reading the official document. "Your Aunt Bai and her sisters have fought with the Jiannu rangers many times, but the scale is not large, half a month ago, Jiannu tried to attack the frontier fortress, kidnapped the people two men and a woman, about ten days ago, three thousand Jiannu cavalry crossed the side wall, appeared on the periphery of Fengji Fort, and were repelled by the defenders."

"Uncle, where are they now?" asked Ma Xianglin.

"At present, it is near Liaoyang, and it has not yet been to the front line"

At this time, Li Jing's grandfather also walked down the gangway with the support of his parents, and came to the trestle, Zhang Quan and his wife also came down, Li Jing's second uncle and second aunt, two sisters and four maids, Bai Yu, and Zhang Fengyi got off the boat with a smile and a smile, and a large number of servants of the Li family and the Zhang family were carrying luggage.

Behind a cargo ship, a crane unloads five European-style light four-wheeled carriages from the ship. This is a new product of the carriage factory newly opened by Li Jingjia. In order to make Li Jing's design drawings into actual products, Li Jing specially purchased two carriage engineer biochemical people. Breakthroughs in several major technological innovations, front wheel bogies, ball bearings, solid rubber tires (a ton of rubber has been successfully produced from the silver chrysanthemum collected in the early stage, and now it has begun to be planted on a large scale in the barren mountainous terrain), manganese steel lightweight design wheels, double shock absorption of springs and shock-absorbing steel bars, all-steel riveted chassis, hardwood non-load-bearing body, gas lamps and window flat glass.

The car is two meters wide and four meters five meters long, with a driver's seat in front of it, which can seat up to four people in a row, and there is a rainproof shelter on the top, and a gas lamp is hung, which can emit a strong light in front at night. There are escort seats in the back of the car. There is also a canopy with gas lamps hanging on it. If you go long, you can do four people in a row. The seats are backed by the back wall panel of the carriage and have handrails in front of them, up and down from both sides. In addition to the coachman, there are seven additional servants and guards.

The carriage is between the front and rear wheels, the floor is roughly where the front and rear wheels are connected, and there are two rows of sofa seats above the wheels. Up to 6-8 people can sit opposite each other. The windows and lights are made of freshly developed flat glass and sliding curtains. The interior of the cabin is upholstered in woolen and velvet, with tropical walnut lining panels and a gas lamp with adjustable brightness on the roof. There are cabinets on the front and rear compartment panels, which can be used to hold alcohol and beverages, simple food. There is a small table 50 centimeters wide in the middle of the two rows of seats, and a small charcoal stove installed in the middle of the sunken position, which can be used for heating, boiling water, heating food, and cooking tea in winter. A set of Western wall clocks was also installed to keep track of the time. Very comfortable and luxurious.

It can be towed with a pair of pull-backs or two pairs of pullbacks, and can reach speeds of up to 30 km/h in good road conditions. The speed of the carriage depends on the speed of the horse, the better the horse, the faster the carriage, and the light carriage for a single horse is generally nearly 20 kilometers per hour. More than 200 kilometers a day. But when there is an emergency, and the post station does not stop changing horses, day and night, the fastest can run more than 1,000 kilometers a day. The average speed of the horse run is about 20 kilometers per hour, the fastest speed can reach 60 kilometers per hour, and it can run continuously for 100 kilometers. In the case of two horses, 30 km/h is not a big problem.

Li Jing and Ma Xianglin took the lead in the first carriage, Li Jing's grandfather, Zhang Quan, Li Jing's father, and second uncle took the second carriage, and Li Jing's mother, Qin Liangyu, Ma Wenting, and Ma Wenying took the third carriage. Aunt Li Jing, two sisters, Zhang Quan's wife, Huo Shi and Zhang Fengyi's mother and daughter took the fourth carriage. The four maids and Bai Yu were the last carriage to press the formation.

The guards of the Li family, the guards of the Zhang family, and Qin Liangyu's personal soldiers rode back and forth to protect and follow. Everyone's luggage was stacked and tied to the roof of the car. There are also old-fashioned carriages in the back and brigades of troops on foot in the back. It is about 160 kilometers from Dagukou Wharf to Chaoyangmen. It took about half a day to arrive by carriage.

It was around 7 a.m. when the ship's chef brought steaming beef buns and seaweed egg drop soup to the various wagons. Breakfast was settled in the carriage. At more than eleven o'clock at noon, I arrived in Tongzhou, and everyone had lunch in the city, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, I had arrived at Chaoyangmen at about five o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Jing and his entourage had more than 100 cavalry, plus five strange carriages, which aroused the vigilance of the soldiers defending the city, and immediately came out to contact the officers, and after checking everyone's waist plates, the letter and the military department ordered the carriages to stop outside the Chaoyang Gate, and everyone rode into the inner city.

The Li family and the Zhang family both have real estate in the inner city, the Li family is near Longfu Temple, the Zhang family is in the south city, and Qin Liangyu's family is located at the intersection of the public slack provided by the Ministry of Housing. Just entered the Chaoyangmen inner street not far away, everyone was preparing to separate, suddenly saw a lot of people in front of them gathered together, I don't know what the situation is, the road is blocked.
