Jidu was then escorted back to the naval communications ship he had been on when he came, and then sailed away from Nandu to return to Dengzhou, from which he sailed south and was captured by a patrolling Ming warship, and then he was still sent back to Gaizhou by a Ming warship.

As for their choice......

Zilharan is not a fool.

As long as Yang Qing can spare his family, he doesn't care about giving Yang Qing the big Yu'er and his mother who have just started rolling in bed! After all, Yang Qing's reputation is still very guaranteed, although this demon is ferocious, he has not had a record of dishonesty so far, and since he has promised, he will definitely honor it. Besides, for Zilharang, he can also avenge his father, although he was raised in wild boar skin, but it is difficult to say that he has no hatred in private.

When Shulhazy died, he was already a teenager.

Huang Taiji killed his brother Amin, and he also watched it.

He was indeed a smart man, and he had shown loyalty to the Boar Skins throughout his life, but it was in the midst of a thriving power that he knew that he would gain the most if he showed loyalty.

But now it's different.

Only by selling the offspring of wild boar skins can he bring the greatest benefit, not only to avenge his father, but also to survive, and even continue to enjoy wealth as the actual ruler of Jianzhouwei. In this case, it was impossible for him to refuse, as for whether Yang Qing was harboring evil intentions, it was not important whether Yang Qing was harboring evil intentions, and it was impossible for Zierharang's mind not to guess that this was provoking infighting. But the problem is that otherwise, his whole family will be dead, and it will not take a few months for the Ming army to come to Shenyang, and their resistance will at most make them die heroically, but it is impossible to defeat the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops who are swarming over......

In other words, all their populations combined are not as large as the Ming army in Hebei at this time!

So......

So let's kill each other!

The Protector has no time to pay attention to them for the time being, and he has to be busy realizing his ambitions!

Step 1......

The square of the Great Hall of the Four Peoples.

Once again, it's crowded......

In fact, it is crowded every day, and as a landmark of the southern capital, a symbol of people's power, and a public political arena, this Ming Hall and the huge, entirely concrete-paved square in front of it are more popular than the Royal Street. The royal street is surrounded by city walls, even if a few more city gates are opened, in fact, it is not very convenient for the common people, especially in the southwest corner of the fact, far from the center of the city. Now even the commercial center of Nandu has begun to move to Sanshan Street, and the activity center of the citizens is this completely open square, as long as it is not rain or snow, even if it is a cold winter, there are idlers here every day.

After all, it's spacious enough.

Although it is forbidden to set up stalls in this square, itinerant vendors with boxes around their necks and baskets on their shoulders are not prohibited, nor are they allowed to perform tricks, and there are also public speeches, and even after the implementation of the patent law, there are people who come here with their new inventions to publicly display them in order to seek investors.

It's becoming a real city center.

And today there is also a special display going on here.

"What is this for?"

Wang Fuzhi said suspiciously.

On the outskirts of the square, some people are laying railroad tracks.

Of course he knew the rails.

This is the transportation of heavy artillery in the army, two rails and the sleepers below, together form a track, paved on those roads where the ground cannot bear the weight of heavy artillery, and the heavy cannons can be easily pushed on it. Usually several sets of these tracks are used alternately, with the front laid and the back dismantled, and although this does not go far in a day, it allows the cannon to pass easily in places where there is no river to use, and the ground is not strong enough to bear the weight of the cannon. But today it was clearly not, and he could recognize that these people were actually servants of the Protectorate's Mansion, who were laying a ring of railroad tracks around the square.

In other words, this is what Yang Qing is doing again.

"I don't know, it's said that the Lord Protector wants to show his new invention!"

The representative of the four people next to him said.

"New invention? He wants to make trouble again! ”

Wang Fuzhi said.

It's true that the person who protects the country doesn't really like to be high-profile, but as long as he is high-profile, there must be a conspiracy behind it. Just like he has always been vulgar when he speaks on weekdays, but as long as he drags the text, especially the righteous words, then he must be in good spirits, because he may not know how much bad water he has choked!

After getting along for so many years, the temper of the protector can still be figured out.

Suddenly, the whistle sounded.

"Protector!"

"Protector!"

……

Cheers followed.

Wang Fuzhi raised his head and saw Yang Qing standing on his steam car, slowly coming with the cheers around him, leaning down and holding hands with the cheering people as he walked.

"The car has changed again!"

The representative of the four peoples said with interest.

Indeed, Yang Qing's steam car has changed again.

Every time this steam car, which has been born for many years, appears, it has changed more or less, and with these changes, it appears more and more frequently outside, and the distance traveled at one time is also getting farther and farther. At first, it was just a circle around the Royal Street, but now it can drive out of the Imperial City, and even the speed has increased again and again, and it was slightly faster than walking at first, but these few appearances are already comparable to running a person. This time, however, the wheels had been replaced by wooden iron-clad wheels, which had apparently been replaced by all-iron, and were slowly rolled over the paved concrete floor under the drive of steam, all the way to the track being laid.

By this time, the rails had completed a full circle.

This circular circle was two hundred steps in diameter, and a small tail stretched out in front of Yang Qing's steam car, and as those servants laid down the last set of tracks, the steam car drove directly up and stopped.

Yang Qing jumped out of the steam car.

"Pull it over!"

He waved his hand and shouted behind him.

Behind him came a series of carriages, but they were different, the first four were made of the same iron wheels as the steam cars, and they were empty, but behind them were ordinary carriages full of goods. The carriages with iron wheels also drove onto the tracks, and Wang Fuzhi noticed that these iron wheels were stuck on the tracks.

Immediately after that, the first iron-wheeled wagon was untied and pushed by human power behind the steam wagon, where it hung on its tail.

"Load!"

Yang Qing, who was standing next to him, waved his hand and said.

A wagon carrying goods moved forward, and soon the sacks of grain on it were moved onto the iron wheeled cart.

This was followed by the second one.

Soon, a total of four carriages, at least 8,000 catties of grain, were moved to the iron wheeled cart, but with Yang Qing's order, the second iron wheeled cart was hung behind the first, and then the same four carriages of grain were moved to it.

16,000 catties.

But Yang Qing didn't stop yet.

Immediately after that, the remaining two iron-wheeled carts were all hung up and filled.

32,000 catties.

This is already the volume of half a ship.

The boats in the canal are generally 400 stones, that is, less than 70,000 catties.

Although this weight is not worth mentioning in modern times, it is nothing more than a medium-sized truck, but it is very terrifying in this era, you must know that even if a four-wheeled carriage running on the national highway can carry less than 4,000 catties, and it must be drawn by two horses.

And that's almost ten times over.

In a look of astonishment, Yang Qing personally checked it, and even knocked on these iron wheels with a small hammer, and then boarded the steam cars with satisfaction......

"Woo, Thomas the Train is here!"

He waved and shouted.

Of course, no one here understands his nonsense!

But then the steam car whistled, and then the iron wheels stuck on the tracks began to rotate slowly, and at the same time, the four iron wheels carrying 32,000 catties of goods also slowly moved forward amid an exclamation all around. Then, as the speed continued to increase, the sound of the iron wheel rubbing against the rails also began to hit people's eardrums......

"Click, click......"

Everyone was screaming at the sound.

The steam wagon, which was carrying half a boat, sounded its whistle again and again in the screams of the people and the faster and faster clicks, and also kept speeding up.

"It's no slower than a carriage!"

The representative of the four people exclaimed.

Although the passenger carriage can run from Pukou to Fengyang in one day and one night, it is impossible for the freight carriage to have this speed, and the speed of the steam carriage at this time has exceeded the normal speed of the freight carriage. The steam car, which was originally slightly faster than a person on the ordinary road, was not affected by the weight of more than 30,000 catties dragged behind it on this track, as if it was tirelessly driving on this circular track.

Soon it was running a full lap.

Then go ahead and ......

"Not only that, it's not flesh and blood, just like those looms, the human loom people get tired, and the hydraulic loom will never stop as long as there is water. In the same way, if the freight carriage does not change horses, it will have to stop for dozens of miles a day to let the horses rest and eat forage, but it does not need to stop, as long as it still has coal to burn. Just imagine, what would happen if such a track was paved from the south to the north? The canal is no longer needed, a cao boat can transport four hundred stone of grain to the northern capital for several months, two such steam cars can solve it in half a month, and the canal will have to stop sailing in winter, and it will not. Similarly, what if the grain is exchanged for soldiers? A sentry soldier rode on it, and he could easily go from the southern capital to the northern capital in half a month, and the cavalry was not so fast!

The Protector is really a genius!

Probably this is what he often said, technology determines the future! And that's one of the technologies that will change the future, but ......"

Wang Fuzhi looked at Yang Qing on the steam car.

"Will it be that simple? Is it just that his steamship, which is still closed in Xuanwu Lake, is it just to let people know that he has invented a machine that can almost completely change the mode of transportation? ”

He went on to say.

And Yang Qing on the steam car was waving to him, and from the smiling face of this guy, Wang Fu could see the word conspiracy at a glance......
