Chapter 158 finally figured it out

Cross the sea and return to land.

Chen Ying still hasn't figured out where Li Shimin's confidence is.

If Li Shimin was not absolutely sure, he would never have the idea of counterattacking Datang, let alone such crazy thoughts.

When everyone was not optimistic about Li Shimin, he was still confident. Then he must have something to rely on.

When he was in Dengzhou, Chen Ying met a person who was not supposed to appear.

Ma Zhou, he should be the Great Sima of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate at this time, responsible for managing the entire Anxi. He is also Chen Ying's biggest hole card in Anxi. Because Ma Zhou is in Anxi, even if Chen Ying doesn't go back, he can still fully control Anxi through Ma Zhou's hands.

Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and said in surprise: "Why are you here?" Because of the railway? ”

"Exactly, Your Majesty issued an order to recruit His Majesty as the secretary of the Ministry of Railways!" Ma Zhou smiled bitterly.

Li Jiancheng's decree was very sudden, and he had no choice but to escape from illness. The angel had no choice but to return, while Ma Zhou took the train all the way from Anxi to Dengzhou.

If it weren't for Chen Ying's repentance from the front line in Pyongyang, Ma Zhou would have already stepped on Pyongyang's supply ship.

Chen Ying thought for a while, looked at Ma Zhou and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"There is no idea under the door, if the Lord lets the door go to the Ministry of Railways, this Ministry of Railways is the Lord!" Ma Zhou said with a smile: "If the Lord wants to visit Anxi, the door will not move in Anxi!" ”

Chen Ying groaned.

The Ministry of Railways is also the iron boss of later generations. The energy and value in it, Chen Ying should naturally be clear. Although the galloping road of the Tang Dynasty has been built for more than 20,000 miles, it is not even one-tenth of that of later generations. Mastering the railway transportation of the whole Tang Dynasty is equivalent to holding a mountain of gold.

Of course, Anthy is also very important.

The value of Anxi is greater, especially the gold, oil, natural and various mineral resources stored in Anxi, and now Datang has entered the steam age, according to the research strength of Datang craftsmen, it is not impossible to invent the internal combustion engine. When the time comes, with abundant oil resources, that is the fate of everyone in control.

You will get what you give.

Relatively speaking, Chen Ying gave up Anxi and got the Ministry of Railways, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Chen Ying didn't know how to choose.

"What a headache!" Chen Ying groaned in pain, like a fish and a bear's paw, you can't have both.

Originally, he had the advantage of crossing people, but when faced with a choice, he also had a headache.

Chen Ying wants to control Anxi, and he wants to become the iron boss.

At this time, Chen Ying suddenly remembered a joke from a later life. A thousand dollars and a fishing gear, ask a person how they would choose. Of course, there is a reward for choosing fish and fishing.

Chen Ying suddenly realized why he couldn't choose both fish and fish in his hand at the same time.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Anxi Dadu Protectorate, who can replace you." ”

When Ma Zhou heard this, he already understood Chen Ying's choice.

Anxi wants it, and so does the Ministry of Railways.

Ma Zhou thought for a while and said: "Liu Tong, the commander of the Wei Army, he is the Lord's subordinate, there is no need to worry about loyalty, and there is no doubt about his ability." ”

Chen Yingdao: "That's fine, you come forward to recommend Liu Tong as the protector of the capital of Anxi, Zhang Shigui as the protector of the capital, and Zhang Huaiwei ...... Let him be transferred back to Chang'an and serve as the general of the Right Wu Hou Wei. ”

……

The Chidao from Dengzhou to Chang'an has been fully completed as early as the fifth year of Kaiyuan. However, with the advent of steam engine trains, the Datang Chidao at this time already had the prototype of the later railway.

At this time, the double-track track in the middle of the road has long been isolated by the cement stone platform. The six-foot-high stone wall, although it could not completely isolate the flow of people, at least could prevent the beasts from suddenly breaking into the railroad and causing danger.

The steam engine college of Shule College has been completely separated from Shule College and began to become a train manufacturing factory. Li Jiancheng was also a big spend, building two train factories in Chang'an and Luoyang respectively.

At this time, there were more than 100 steam engine trains operating on the Datang Railway Line, and the transportation capacity was greatly improved.

Chen Ying did not stop in Dengzhou, but went west along Dengzhou.

On this train, Cheng Chusi was surprised again. Because of this train, it was fully loaded with Chen Ying's personal guard Zhichong Mansion, as well as all the equipment, and there were four trains specially loaded with more than 1,000 stones, grain and grass.

What shocked Cheng the most was the speed.

Dengzhou to Chenliu is more than 1,700 miles, and after six stops to add water and coal, it only took ten hours to arrive at Chenliu.

At this rate, if the normal march is followed, I am afraid it will take a month. If it is cavalry, it will also take about ten days.

Such a terrifying dispatch ability will make Fusang Datang feel desperate.

When Chen was staying, Chen Ying met a person he didn't see the most.

If you want to say who Chen Ying doesn't want to see the most, there must be only one, and that is his eldest cousin Yang Rong.

Whether Chen Ying is guilty or avoided, Chen Ying definitely doesn't want to see her anyway.

"I'm curious, how did you end up meeting me here?" Chen Ying smiled bitterly and looked at Yang Rong who was holding Wu Erniang in his arms.

Yang Rong said: "It's just a coincidence, I came to Chen Liu to talk about a business with Chen Liucai, and I happened to be going back to Chang'an." ”

Regarding Yang Rong's rhetoric, Chen Ying naturally didn't believe a word, but he believed even more that the people around him would definitely report to Yang Rong.

Who this person will be, Chen Ying will not be able to find out for a while, presumably the person who can know Chen Ying's specific whereabouts should be someone above the rank of captain of the Qinwei Mansion. There are nineteen stations from Dengzhou to Chen, and Chen Ying only stopped four, so this range is much easier to check.

Chen Ying looked at the villain in Yang Rong's arms, but he couldn't hate it no matter how dissatisfied he was.

He pointed to the carriage and said, "Come in, don't be afraid of the child freezing!" ”

Yang Rong took the opportunity to enter the carriage where Chen Ying was.

Seeing that Wu Erniang was sleeping soundly, Chen Ying couldn't help but take Wu Erniang and gently hugged her.

Maybe the murderous aura on Chen Ying's body was too heavy, or it was too cold, in short, Wu Erniang didn't give Chen Ying the face of being a father at all, and cried with a small mouth.

Seeing Chen Ying at a loss, Yang Rong smiled slightly.

took Wu Erniang from Chen Ying's hands. It's strange to say, when Wu Erniang left Chen Ying's hand, she stopped crying, stretched her waist, and slowly fell asleep.

Chen Ying touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

Yang Rong said bluntly: "My craftsmen, according to the technology you provided, have created a new type of loom that can be used for wool spinning......

Chen Yingdao: "We ...... You are polite! ”

Yang Rong said again: "Do you know the Ancient Tea Horse Road? ”

Chen Ying nodded and said, "I know!" ”

Yang Rong said: "Shuzhong businessman Jia Tuo, I will ask you, when can you follow the Golden Bull Ancient Road and build the Ancient Tea Horse Road!" ”

"This ......"

Chen Ying groaned.

Chen Ying is very rich, and Li Jiancheng is also rich.

They all have a huge mountain of gold, even if it is through, it can be hundreds of millions. However, the construction of railways is a bottomless pit. No matter how big the gold mountain is, it can't fill this bottomless pit.

Chen Ying smiled awkwardly and said: "The imperial court has its own plans for this matter, but I don't have any money, and the court doesn't have any money!" ”

"Know you don't have any money!" Yang Rong smiled: "Now I'm just sending you money." ”

"Qingcheng Fan is willing to take out a million yuan to make a part of this railway!"

"What? One percent? Chen Ying said indignantly: "Why don't they rob it!" Don't say one million, even five million can't get a single component! You should be aware of the value of this railway! ”

Yang Rong shook his head and said: "How many molecules there are, you can talk slowly, and the most important thing is that Qingcheng Fan wants to invest in the railway!" ”

Chen Ying did not answer directly.

At this time, Wu Erniang suddenly burst into tears. Yang Rong was holding a small hydrangea on one side and shaking it in front of Wu Erniang.

Wu Erniang looked at the small red hydrangea and forgot to cry.

Chen Ying's eyes fell on this little hydrangea.

His eyes brightened.

He finally figured out Li Shimin's true confidence.

The ground beneath our feet is actually a ball. Chen Ying knew, and he knew even more, that this earth, from the west coast of the Fusang continent to the East China Sea, was more than 10,000 kilometers in a straight line, while the east coast of the Fusang continent to the west coast of the European continent was only about 5,000 kilometers in a straight line, which was two-thirds of the way closer.

Could it be that Li Shimin had already come into contact with the natives of the European continent through the East Coast?

Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt that it was very possible.

He suddenly hugged Wu Erniang and said, "My little princess, you really helped your father a lot!" ”

Yang Rong looked at Chen Ying who was crazy in amazement, and didn't understand what Chen Ying was doing.

Chen Ying said excitedly: "If you want to invest in the railway, let them show sincerity, don't buy the railway as a cabbage!" “
