Chapter 117 The steam engine train is running
It is not an accidental phenomenon that women in the Tang Dynasty are in charge, and there are many women who show up with the example of Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning. There are not a few women who can be called strange women to pass on their husbands.
For example, the wife of Fang Xuanling, who is famous for being jealous in history, Lu Shi, even Li Er dares to be tough. For example, Wei Zheng's wife Pei Shi, since Wei Zheng took refuge in Li Mi's account in the thirteenth year of Daye, he began to abandon his family and business, although Pei's business is not as big as Yang Rong's, but Pei's family still takes care of Wei Zheng's family in good order.
Of course, there are also the Red Whisk Girl in the Wild History Miscellaneous Records, as well as Princess Taiping, Princess Changle, Queen Wei and so on in history. Even though these women have left an indelible mark on history, who would have thought that Yang Rong's vision would be so advanced?
Wu Zetian entered the palace as a talented person, and eventually became a generation of empresses, speaking of Wu Zetian's teacher, I am afraid that her mother Yang Rong is even more powerful. Although it is recorded in history that after the death of Wu Shitong, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers bullied their mother and son, but neither of Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang could die well.
Parents are their children's teachers, and their words and deeds will be imitated by their children. Yang Rong is so powerful now, she can cultivate the demon Wu Zetian, obviously Yang Rong has contributed a lot.
In fact, there is no need to communicate with the Western Turks. Although it is said that the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks have the same origin, the humiliation and harm inflicted on the Central Plains by the Turks actually have little to do with the Western Turks.
Aside from this factor, it is unrealistic for Chen Ying to kill all the Western Turks, Chen Ying, who has been a human being for two lives, knows very well that he can defeat the Western Turks, but he can't kill them all. After all, Anthy is just too big. A drill in a random valley, let alone give Chen Ying an army of 100,000, even if it is an army of millions, Chen Ying has no way to uproot the Western Turks.
Seeing that Chen Ying was silent, Yang Rong smiled and said, "Little cousin, you can think about it slowly!" ”
"You want to turn the Silk Road into a bloody slave route?" Chen Ying looked at Yang Rong's eyes and said slowly: "Do you know what the consequences will be as soon as this opening is opened?" ”
Yang Rong smiled and said, "My little cousin, haven't you understood yet?" In order to reward you for pacifying the Turks and assisting Your Majesty, Anxi has become your fiefdom. If I do this, you will benefit in the end! ”
There is nothing wrong with Yang Rong's words in themselves, except for Chen Ying, all the generals who led the troops, whether it was Li Jing, Li Shiji, or Xue Wanche, Wei Chi Jingde, one of them counted as one, and all of their families lived in Chang'an. Clearly for pleasure, in fact, is to control as a hostage.
However, Chen Ying did not do so. His eldest son Li Siye, eldest son Chen Qian, and eldest daughter Li Ruoxi all followed Li Xiuning to live in Shule City.
Chen Ying groaned: "Big cousin, I'm just worried, once the guys of your firm leave Anxi, if the Western Turks turn their faces......
"Flip around? ......" Hearing this, Yang Rong smiled flamboyantly, and after a while, she smiled and said, "With you, the Chen people, slaughtering, who of them dares?" Flip through one and show me? Little cousin, you don't know your murderous name, now we Tang people, not to mention in the Tang Dynasty, that is, in the Byzantine Empire thousands of miles away, or in the territory of the Sassanid Empire, those Hu people are eager to hold our Tang people to the sky, even if they are the government over there, they don't dare to care, I don't know how many Persian or Sogdian merchants, they attach their business names to the Tang people, and they regard themselves as shopkeepers. ”
Hearing this, Chen Ying looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, his eyes became deep, as if he was going to travel through time and space, arriving more than 1,300 years later, in that time and space, the Celestial Empire is also a big country, the merchants of the Celestial Empire are all over the world, and in any corner of the world, as long as there are people, you can see the Chinese.
However, these Chinese businessmen, whether at home or abroad, will make their companies foreign names, as if they have been stained with foreign flavors, and they will become high. Nobel tiles, Marco Polo tiles, Picasso tiles, Van Gogh tiles, Mona Lisa tiles, Leonardo da Vinci furniture...... It's all domestic, Ajisen ramen doesn't have a store in Japan, the California beef noodle king doesn't have a store in the United States, Yoshinoya and Yoshinoya in Japan are not the same, French Biostime, American S&N milk powder, French Carslan are authentic Cantonese goods, Carl Danton suits, pure Shenzhen goods, Jordan sneakers have nothing to do with Jordan......
There is no one who does not want their country to be strong, and of course those hybrids who are called half-breeds will forget it.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying said: "I agree in principle, but you have to pay taxes, and there is no emotion to talk about!" ”
Yang Rong stretched out her white hand and said, "Okay!" ”
……
Finally, Chen Ying arrived in Shule City smoothly.
However, knowing that the steam engine had made a breakthrough, Chen Ying did not immediately go to visit, but ...... Soak in the big pool and enjoy the blessings of all people.
As the so-called three years as a soldier, the sow races the sable.
The only difference between the army under Chen Ying and the other armies in the Tang Dynasty is that there are no prostitutes under Chen Ying's command, and the soldiers of the army can kill, rob, or set fire, but they cannot rape.
This is the iron law, whoever touches it dies.
As the coach, Chen Ying also did not make an exception.
Now when he returned home, Chen Ying suddenly turned into a werewolf under the moon.
Li Xiuning once again proved one thing with facts and actions, there are only tired cattle, not ploughed fields. When Chen Ying was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers, Li Xiuning could still serve Chen Ying to change his clothes, and he could also get up to prepare meals for Chen Ying.
Chen Ying was lying on the soft couch, his strength was weak, and he didn't even have the strength to eat.
Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and said: "If you want to laugh, laugh ......"
Li Xiuning pursed her lips and smiled: "It's been more than a year...... You don't even know how the concubine survived. ”
"Am I better than you?" Chen Ying stretched out his arm, and Li Xiuning lay in Chen Ying's arms with interest.
Li Xiuning muttered: "The concubine wants to have a few more children!" ”
Chen Ying buried his head in Li Xiuning's chest and said, "Then you are ready, another football team!" ”
Li Xiuning said suspiciously: "Football team? ”
Chen Ying explained: "It's the Keju team! ”
Li Xiuning suddenly realized, stretched out his hand to pinch Chen Ying's chest, and said angrily: "If you want to die, what do you take as a concubine?" ”
Chen Ying let out a long sigh and said, "Our matter has happened!" ”
Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying in confusion.
Li Xiuning has her own news channels, and she understands Chen Ying's words. It was Li Xiuning's idea to save Li Shimin and send Li Shimin to Fusang Continent, if it wasn't for Li Xiuning's reasons, Chen Ying would hand over Li Shimin to Li Jiancheng, so as to best agree with Chen Ying's interests.
However, Chen Ying did not do that. In order not to make her sad and sad, Chen Ying risked offending Li Jiancheng and sent Li Shimin to the Fusang Continent.
Now that Li Shimin has sent Cheng Zhijie back, Li Jiancheng will definitely be furious, which is inevitable.
In Li Jiancheng's view, Chen should be a betrayal of him, a naked betrayal.
Li Xiuning gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go back to Chang'an and explain to Da Lang......"
"Not really!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "I believe Your Majesty will understand, if he doesn't understand, no matter what he does, I will continue!" ”
After all, in some needs, the enthusiasm of men is not as fast as that of women. Even though Chen Ying has always insisted on fitness, Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang, and Fukada Huayin still make Chen Ying painful and happy.
It wasn't until four days later that Chen Ying really had no choice, slept with his son Chen Qian, and finally escaped the catastrophe.
……
On the fifth day, Chen Ying walked towards Shule Academy with dark circles under his eyes and vain steps.
In Shule Academy, Chen Ying saw the steam engine that he dreamed of, how to describe it? This thing can only be described as stupid and coarse, very with the style of Lao Maozi, but the disadvantages of this steam engine are very obvious, very high, up to three feet and two feet, the whole body is made of bearing steel, twenty-four wheels, very much want the steam engine train of later generations.
If you want to say that the power mechanism, there are no more detours, due to the emergence of cotton in Anxi, especially the army under Chen Ying, and other armies in the Tang Dynasty are different, since the beginning of the era of the right guard, the soldiers under Chen Ying do not issue silk, but directly distribute ready-to-wear clothes, like the original 8,000 pieces, it is not impossible to take the method of manual sewing, it is a big deal to spend more time and hire more manpower.
However, with the establishment of the Anxi Army as high as 100,000, the number of uniforms per year is as high as 400,000, which is no longer something that can be easily done by relying on a large number of people.
What's more, after the people have been allocated the fields, it is already very difficult to recruit people. Chen Ying relied on the opinions of later generations to let the craftsmen create a pedal sewing machine.
The current steam engine drive principle is still this kind of crankrod linkage.
At this time, the steam engine locomotive was different from later generations, because Chen Ying did not invent the locomotive, he first built the gallop road, although this is called the gallop road, in fact, it is a two-way double-track railway, about one zhang and two feet wide. The width of the tracks of this train is all one zhang and two feet, and the length is about ten zhang and six feet.
Flavi Zino bowed and said, "Your Excellency Duke, are you going to test the car?" ”
Chen Ying patted Flavi Zino on the shoulder and said, "Okay, old Qi, even the steam engine has been made!" ”
Flavi Zino carefully explained: "Your Excellency Duke, my surname is Flavi's......"
Zhou Qing's eyes widened, and he yelled at Flavi Zino: "Don't thank the Lord for giving him a surname!" ”
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Flavi Zino hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Excellency Duke Xie gave me a surname!" ”
Chen Ying listened to this and did not reprimand Zhou Qing. Instead, he explained to Flavi Zino with great interest: "Old Qi, this Qi family is a descendant of Jiang Shang, a descendant of Jiang Shang, one of the eight major surnames in ancient times, with the country as his surname. ”
Flavi Zino asked suspiciously, "Antiquity?" ”
Chen Ying nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, the Jiang family can be interpreted as your Greek primitive god's residence, our Huaxia, in ancient times, was pregnant with eight surnames, Jiang, Ji, Win, Concubine, Concubine, Yao, and Him." And Jiang is Shennong's, with ginger water as his surname, and Shennong's is equivalent to Apollo in Greece. About 2,000 years ago, Jiang Shang, the master of the Hundred Schools, was named the Qi State, and his descendants were the Qi family. ”
Originally, Flavi Zino was still a little reluctant, but after hearing that his ancestor of the Qi family was so awesome that he was actually Apollo, he didn't resist in his heart. Don't think that finding yourself a celebrity ancestor is the patent of the Chinese, in fact, foreigners also like to impersonate their ancestors like this. Thus, Flavi Zino became Zino.
Chen Yingdao: "Test drive! ”
As the sound of sizzling sounded, the big chimney on the front of the car also began to emit large puffs of white smoke, Chen Ying simply turned over and got on the horse, waiting for the front of the car to start.
After a loud "woo" from the front of the car, the crankshaft, which looked thicker than an adult's arm, began to rotate the wheels, and then the whole front of the car began to move slowly forward with the carriage.
However, what made Chen Ying extremely painful was that the speed of this steam engine train was really not flattering.
Not to mention the galloping of war horses, even if Chen Ying walks on foot, he can keep up, according to the speed of Chen Ying's hiking, it is about six or seven kilometers per hour, it is like a snail crawling.
