Chapter 808: Renzong Travels
Historically, the emperor traveled, that is not a common phenomenon, the earliest, Qin Shi Huang began to unify China, for the stability of the country, and many times on patrol.
However, in the history books of later generations, it was also mentioned that Qin Shi Huang's travel consumed the heritage of the Qin State on a large scale, which is not a commendable thing.
After that, the Han Dynasty, the travel more, that is, the abundant production of Mount Tai, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even sealed Mount Tai eight times, almost every few years, will seal Zen once,
When it came to the Northern Song Dynasty, there were very few, and the only one who sealed Zen Mount Tai was Song Zhenzong, when the mighty Zen was sealed, but it brought infamy to Zhenzong, and it was scolded for nearly a thousand years.
Zhenzong said that in order to boost morale and have a certain amount of funds, but when it came to Renzong, he was under financial pressure from the time he was in power, and he didn't have time to come up with enough funds.
The emperor's travel, is not a child's play, need to make perfect protection, the Sui Yang Emperor's travel, a large number of official ships, the army guarded, the cost of countless funds, even the Sui Yang Emperor himself, because of the army's mutiny and rebellion, finally died in the south, and finally did not return to Luoyang and Chang'an.
The emperor, in the feudal society, is the supreme leader, regardless of whether an emperor has real power, if he has real power, he can't leave the capital, once he leaves, the country is turbulent, if there is no real power, then he can't leave.
Only some strong ones, those who have a strong ability to control the court, and who are relatively wealthy and can monopolize power, can travel.
Renzong is more benevolent, and more obedient to the opinions around him, since he started to be in power, he really hasn't traveled much, but this time, he wants to come out to visit.
The government of the Northern Song Dynasty made him anxious, and to a certain extent, staying in the palace of the Northern Song Dynasty was also relatively aggrieved.
On the other hand, as a Dingjun who has always heard of it and has never seen it in person, he also wants to see this one that his son has single-handedly laid down the country.
Whether it is Han Qi to understand, or many ministers, they have already determined that the Dinghai Navy far surpasses the Northern Song Dynasty, whether it is in terms of national strength or the combat effectiveness of the army, it is far beyond the Northern Song Dynasty.
If Dinghai has some bad ideas, then he can directly choose the form of war, in this case, there will be no problem with his travel, even if he takes 10,000 steps back, Zhao Xin is still his son.
It is determined that Renzong travels, whether it is the Dinghai Navy or the Northern Song Dynasty, they attach great importance to such travel, and safety is the key.
Compared with the travel of feudal society, there is a railway between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ding Navy, of course, the emperor's travel is also more important than any previous time, and the Ding Navy may not do it, but some people who can see it will not take risks.
Clear-eyed people can see that Renzong's intention to go to the Dinghai Navy is very obvious, not everyone is willing to hand over their rights, and even Renzong has abolished the selection of the heir, but anyone who has any ideas, are they willing to give up like this, once Renzong arrives in the Dinghai, it may be too late, will they be dispatched.
The preparation of the navy was quite safe, and he directly transferred an armored train over.
Of course, not the kind of 400 mm heavy guns, but 60-100 mm guns are installed, which are relatively small, and the recoil on the railway is also very small, but the lethality is not small at all.
Artillery or something, it's just a matter of basic deterrence, it must be had, this has become the signature weapon of the Dinghai Navy, but in fact, this section of the armored train, their killer feature, is the machine guns all over the armored train.
Almost every section has 32 machine guns, which can be aimed at any direction without dead ends, whether it is a dense offensive camp or a loose offensive camp, in the face of such an attack, it will be torn apart.
This armored train is specially set up to meet Renzong, ordinary armored trains are generally less than 8 cars, some even only have 4 cars, except for one locomotive, the remaining three cars, are all trains.
This time, there were a total of 21 knots, which was in the state of a complete train, of which the armor was only 8 knots, which were located in the head, tail and middle positions, respectively, and their firepower was enough to cover the surroundings.
The 12 carriages are enough to accommodate Renzong and some of his entourage, because of the armor, the amount that can be accommodated in each carriage is greatly reduced, about 60 people per carriage, and a total of 720 people can be accommodated.
Since Renzong chose to go to Dinghai, he would not make a big fuss, and in itself, Dinghai prepared 3 such trains, but after thinking about it again, he still only asked for one.
Renzong traveled with the concubine, and among all the concubines, he only brought the concubine alone.
It's not that Renzong doesn't want to bring more concubines, this is going to Dinghai, it's the territory of the only son, Zhao Xin's filial piety to the concubine, even Renzong has some taste, for Renzong, for Princess Fukang, it's all love for the house and Wu.
Even for the sake of Fukang, he dared to confront Renzong, let alone for the concubine, in the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, Zhao Xin couldn't control it, but in the Dinghai Navy, which belonged to Zhao Xin's territory, Zhao Xin couldn't do anything.
Rather than being in a dilemma at that time, it is better not to bring it at all.
These concubines of Renzong, who are a little smarter, will not chase after them, and most of those stupid ones have a very low status, and those people are not qualified to be taken by Renzong.
Renzong only brought more than 30 internal guards, and forty or fifty people around the concubine, together, it was only a hundred, and after that, there were some guards, responsible for protecting their safety, even if some clans, as well as ministers and the like, the total number of people was only about 400 people, far less than what a train could load.
This is a sigh of relief for the Ding Navy, because a train seems to be able to accommodate 720 people, but in fact, on the armored train, an overall protection is needed, sometimes, the fortress what, most of them are broken from the inside, in order to avoid the problem of protection, all the connections and key parts, are needed Ding Navy is responsible for security, so that at least one or two hundred people are needed to ensure safety, the Northern Song Dynasty sent more than 400, which is also in line with the data.
An armored train, almost all around, is more than 50 mm of mean steel plates, this special steel plate, and after the surface of the carbon treatment, the overall protection than the general steel plate more than 3 times, almost most of the weapons, except for the armor-piercing weapons of the navy, can be ignored.
The train, of course, cannot be completely closed, so it is not suitable, especially for Renzong, but the Dinghai Navy has already been on the glass research, continue to innovate, and bulletproof glass has appeared, this kind of may not be strong for artillery shells, but stray bullets and the like, there is no way to deal with it.
In the event of an attack, the opponent can also add numerous steel guardrails and covers to the windows under the premise of heavy weapons to ensure safety.
The bottom is also a thick steel plate, which is also the basis for reducing the number of occupants, it is too heavy, so that it can protect against attacks from above and below, even mines and explosives, there is a certain degree of protection.
In order to ensure safety, both the Dinghai Navy and the Northern Song Dynasty have carried out a series of safety arrangements, and at least 200,000 troops have been dispatched on the thousands of kilometers of railways located in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Dinghai Navy, and there are hundreds of people almost every kilometer.
No matter how big or small, it is almost the security intensity of the later generations, which ensures the smooth travel of Renzong, and on this day in March, after the preliminary preparations, the vehicle has also undergone serious maintenance, and finally began to travel.
Armored trains, with a lot of armor, so the total weight is more than 40% heavier than ordinary trains, plus considering comfort and safety, the entire speed will be reduced to about 80 kilometers, at such a speed, a day, about 1500 kilometers, plus the time to stop in the middle, is considered a day and a night.
Compared to the speed of the ultra-fast, it is reduced by more than a third, but it is still acceptable, at least, for Renzong, it is relatively high and faster.
This is not the first time Renzong has left the palace, although Renzong does not travel and parade on a large scale, but occasionally he can leave the palace and go outside to relax, as long as he is under the protection of the guards and does not leave Bianliang, it is generally safe.
Entering outside of Bianliang, I vaguely remember that it should have been in the youth period, out of Bianliang City, but at that time, there was no leisure to see the magnificent scenery, like now, the speed of 80 kilometers per hour, fast travel on the plain, see the huge plain, as well as rivers and lakes and the like, this is absolutely a scene that Renzong has never seen.
In such a journey of more than a day, Renzong did not stop at all, although he is in his fifties, his physical function has declined, but under the maintenance of traditional Chinese medicine and his own exercise, Renzong's body is okay, at least, there is no big problem in lying down and looking at the scenery outside.
Three meals a day, of course, is provided by the Dinghai Navy, although it is said that there is less space on the armored train, but it is still possible to bear Renzong and the concubine two or three people, Dinghai's food is the world, and now it has formed a style, although it is said that there is some support for the Northern Song Dynasty, but they are equal to another layer, and now they eat authentic, of course, it is to make Renzong eat happily.
The time of the day is not long, especially at night, the speed will be reduced to 60 kilometers, or even below, to ensure the quality of rest, and Renzong and Guifei have also carried out special treatment, two sound insulation and shock absorption, even if the outside sound is loud, under the closed door, the sound transmitted to the inside, can also be reduced to a very low level, which greatly strengthens the comfort.
I set off at about 8 o'clock in the morning, and by noon the next day, I had already arrived in Shenyang.
Renzong's mood was slightly excited, although it was said that when he arrived at the border of the Dinghai Navy, it was night, because of sleeping, Renzong did not get up to watch, but in the early morning, after breakfast, he saw the most elite area of the Dinghai Navy, a place completely different from the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty, that is, absorbed some things from the Dinghai Navy, and then transformed Bianliang, which was not only more neat and clean, but also thoroughly mastered it, and there was no so-called ground rat and the like.
However, this Northern Song Dynasty only learned to set the navy and the navy, but from the very beginning, it was perfect in terms of layout, urban planning, industrial layout, and development vision.
If the peripheral cities are still ordinary and amazing, then entering the Shenyang urban belt is another scene.
After more than 10 years of development, it has become the largest industrial belt in the whole Dinghai Navy and even the whole world, and the population density is also the highest.
There are a total of 250 million people in the entire Dinghai Navy, of which at least 40% of the population lives in such an urban belt, and this total number may occupy most of the population of other countries in the world except China, and the population advantage is very obvious.
Similarly, Shenyang is the essence of an urban belt, the population of the entire Shenyang has exceeded 60 million, such a huge population, even if it is the urban scope of Shenyang, in the 21st century, it is also huge, but the overall density is already the first in the world.
Renzong obviously saw such a scene, and when he entered the range of Shenyang, he concentrated his mind and watched it seriously, his expression was extremely focused, and the concubine was next to him, she seemed to know what Renzong was thinking, and she didn't speak.
For a long time, from the periphery of Shenyang to the inner ring, for a whole hour, in the internal supervision report, less than 2 kilometers away from the Shenyang Auto Show, Renzong finally stood up, sighed, and said leisurely: "Old, it's time to take a step back!" ”
Not far from Shenyang Station, in order to welcome Renzong and his party, not only the Shenyang Station was controlled, but even Zhao Xin came to the station in person.
Constant telegrams to pass the location, Zhao Xin knew the location of the trip, for this biological father, for this father who has not seen for 17 years, he did not have a trace of nervousness, but a little eager to try, years of waiting, finally waiting for the result, from the moment Renzong traveled, he already knew that the fate of China has changed, the tragedy of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty will not be repeated, but belong to Asia, belong to the era of China, after all, has come.
