Chapter 933: Moving the capital to Yanjing

In the intense work of moving the capital, Zhang Qiang took a large team of guards, attendants, as well as various machinery and materials in the arsenal, workers, technicians, wives of the harem, civil and military officials and their families, and guards, opened the road by the garrison headquarters and guards, more than 100,000 people, and drove from Jinling Mansion along the wide 35-meter road built by the Chinese Kingdom, and said goodbye to the people of Jinling with tears in their eyes along the way and went towards the new capital Yanjing.

Those who remained in Jinling Mansion were Deputy Prime Minister Li Dingguo, Deputy Director General of the Garrison Command Headquarters Su Zhiqing, Cabinet Foreign Minister Yao Qisheng, Artillery Director Zhao Siyang, Director of the Advisory Bureau Liu Liangzuo, Deputy Director of the Advisory Bureau Lin Chengcheng, Director of the Advisory Bureau He Jin, Deputy Secretary of the Military Department Ma Sanli, Director of the Supervision Department Wang Dong, and Director of the Recruit Battalion Tian Xian.

So many people, stop and go, it took a month to get to Yanjing, which made Zhang Qiang very annoyed, originally only two or three days for fast horses, generally only a week's time, soldiers and horses were mobilized, there were convenient carriages, and it was only two weeks to half a month, but his line took a month and a half to arrive.

Zhang Qiang felt that it was not as good as the state sea road, and the sea route would arrive in about ten days.

I didn't see many ushers on the way, but I walked for a month and a half, and if a war starts, at this speed, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for reinforcements, and AM will have to be defeated or completely annihilated.

Arriving in Yanjing, Zhang Qiang settled in the new palace, and he has been thinking about this problem, as well as the problem of their military communications, and it is no longer suitable for fast horses and good carrier pigeons.

It would be nice if there could be a telegram. It would be nice if there was a railway, Zhang Qiang thought.

The telegraph is too high-tech, the railway, well, it seems to be possible, at least get a horse-drawn carriage railway, no, the horse-drawn carriage railway, the carriage that the horse can pull is only that, and the tonnage is not large, but the carriage walks on the railway, how to say that it is much less labor-saving than pulling on the road, the wheels? It is similar to the bicycle wheel, which is not all made of solid iron, although it reduces the load-bearing capacity, but also reduces the weight of the carriage.

This is good, Zhang Qiang found the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to issue his own order, the Ministry of Industry now has a research and development department, and it has also been transferred to Yanjing, the research and development department has its own independent stall, which is much smaller than the stall in Xianju County, but although the sparrows are small, they also have their own factory workshops.

After the order was issued, Zhang Qiang went to the R&D department of the Ministry of Industry from time to time to visit, where there were conscripts from several systems of his own, they had some scientific knowledge, and they were also talents in related professions, and they led a group of craftsmen and apprentices who had been trained for 20 years, as well as craftsmen and students from all over the country who had been admitted to the Ministry of Industry through the imperial examination.

Educated, knowledgeable, understanding all the craftsman skills of the Chinese Kingdom, studying some theoretical things, providing theoretical support and scientific system for teaching and continued research and development, this is the task of the new generation of people who have come out of the imperial examination.

After assigning the task, Zhang Qiang began to travel to the new Yanjing, there are no ancient palaces and monuments, anyway, for the common people those are useless, maybe the people can make a dream of finding antiques and selling them to make a fortune, but most people still dream, antiques are the stuff of the prosperous era, and along with antiques, a group of rich people have been produced, rich people have made social disharmony, and the people are complaining, Zhang Qiang does not pay much attention to those antiques, some are all eradicated, there is no antique industry.

There are no archaeological experts, history can be studied, history can be studied, but the biggest role of those things is actually the existence of rich people to show their identity, as a wage earner through the existence of these very much, antiques have led to how many people have been murdered, resulting in the image of the country being smeared, what do you want that?

The 5,000-year-old civilization that hangs on the lips all day long shows weakness, is enslaved, and those who offend our Chinese people all day long, although they will be slaughtered from afar, but the problem is that the big men are so far away to fight the enemy, and our modern history is a history of humiliation, even the people at the door of the house bully the door to greet each other with a smile, and the people are given to others by the rich, buying children and selling daughters, that is just a slogan.

To act, not slogans, Zhang Qiang often mentioned this sentence to the courtiers below.

The Kingdom of China has now expelled the Qing Dynasty from the Guanwai, and nearly 10 million people have been made into second-class citizens, so that they can taste the taste of oppression, and the Manchus have been used as cannon fodder and labor reform, and have been sold to the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Xinlu State, the national integration time is too long, that is only suitable for sitting in the rear without war and talking experts, in the era of the world has not reached the atomic bomb balance, Zhang Qiang wants to take advantage of this time, quickly eliminate or expel all the alien races, and increase the population, let the Han people fill all the land.

While thinking about these things, Zhang Qiang observed New Yanjing, yes, this is New Yanjing, a new capital.

The wide road, there are specially set up stalls on the side of the road, any people do not need to be chased by the so-called urban management to clean up, they can buy and sell freely, but they still need to be managed, the responsible officials ask them to collect sanitation fees, and then specially handed over to the Soldiers and Horses, which is equivalent to maintaining law and order and patrolling the street Yamen, specially sent people to clean the streets, the cost does not need too much, a day to sell in the non-sale, sell more and sell less only five Chinese copper, equivalent to the previous silver and two copper coins.

Of course, if you are too bad, you will not only be fined for sweeping the streets, but also have to pay a fine, which is one Chinese yuan.

A very humane move has won the trust of the people, the kind of officials in later generations for the sake of political performance, for the so-called cleanliness of the city, directly beat the poor to death, not allowed to set up stalls, even if their parents are so raised by them, when they work they are merciless, indifferent to the old people, some unemployed people, people who want to survive fat beating, and then prohibit them from setting up stalls, you must know that not everyone can go to university, not everyone will drill the camp to become a big official, not everyone is rich, You can earn money at home, then go abroad to spend, and you can also emigrate abroad, and then turn around and scold the state for competing with the people for profit.

The agents of the Ministry of Civil Affairs wore civilian clothes, burrowed among the people, staring vigilantly at all kinds of people, and secretly protected Zhang Qiang who was on patrol.

Zhang Qiang was also dressed in civilian clothes, surrounded by more than a dozen personal guards, and the soldiers of the surrounding garrison brigades were a few people every 100 meters, they were only notified in advance to guard this street, but they did not tell Zhang Qiang that they came to patrol, a team of rapid reaction soldiers and horses, served by the personal guards, followed behind them, sitting in the carriage, ordinary people only acted as a businessman's convoy, but they did not know that there were armed officers and soldiers of the personal guards.

The Guards Division was on standby in the barracks to attack at any time, the field army secretly blocked all the city gates and intersections, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

The outside is loose and the inside is tight, protecting His Majesty the King Zhang Qiang, who is on patrol.

He will ascend the throne in a few days, and he will be the emperor.

From the king to the emperor, Zhang Qiang was a little apprehensive and excited.
