A train is speeding along the Gyeongpei Railway, and unlike ordinary trains, the front of this train does not spew smoke that can envelop the entire front of the train like an ordinary train, it is a diesel locomotive. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Internal combustion engine!

From the first year of Kaihong, the first internal combustion engine completed the trial production, to the end of the second year of Kaihong to complete the practical application, although until now, the internal combustion engine is mainly used in airships, but the country still tries to apply the internal combustion engine in all aspects, such as ships, trains, are the scope of use.

The first train with an internal combustion engine was no ordinary locomotive, and it has been in service with the Royal Trains since it was put into testing. The reason for adopting the new technology, on the one hand, is to show the royal family's support for the new technology, and on the other hand, it is because compared with the steam locomotive, the diesel locomotive has its natural advantages - long-distance driving does not need to replenish coal, just like the Jingping Railway from the imperial capital to Beiping, more than 1,000 kilometers, if the steam locomotive is used, it needs to be replenished three times along the way, and the latter does not need to be replenished, and can go directly to Beiping.

For the royal train with a speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, it only takes more than ten hours to travel from the imperial capital to Beiping, and after resting in the carriage for the night, when he woke up in the early morning, Zhu Yifeng had already arrived in Beiping, and even he himself did not know why he came to Beiping.

Why come here?

In the carriage escorted by the cavalry team drove out of the railway station, looking at the city of Beiping outside the window, Zhu Yifeng asked himself silently, looking at the city outside the window, he could feel the decline of the city - five years ago, there was a population of one million here, but now, the city has less than 300,000 people, this is because the 24 banners in the city and the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the 19 banner camps in the four suburbs of Beijing have been moved out, resulting in a population of only one million Beiping is empty, although in the past few years, The city of Beiping has been restored to a certain extent, but now its reputation as the largest city in the north has long given way to Tianjin, and now the largest city in North China is Tianjin, as for Beiping.

In addition to the Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace, there seems to be no other, once the population of the city with a population of one million suddenly decreased by more than half, naturally seems empty, even the streets are not so prosperous, in fact, compared to Tianjin, the city street renovation in Beiping has always seemed a little lagging behind, mainly because of the limited financial resources of the local government, after all, compared to Beiping, businessmen are more willing to do business in Tianjin.

The carriage escorted by the cavalry rushed along the Zhengyangmen Avenue that runs through the center of Beiping and rushed towards the Zhengyangmen in the north. The cavalry's expressions were solemn, for the people of Beiping City, this was the first time they saw a brigade of cavalry enter the city in Beiping for several years.

People stood and watched the procession, whispering and talking.

"Is this the big guy from there?"

"Ahh That's ......"

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed man pointed to the coat of arms on the carriage. That's the dragon coat of arms, there is only one person in China, no, a family can use this coat of arms - the royal family. Although the navy's emblem is also a dragon, it is a reward from the emperor, not embedded in the carriage.

The emperor is here!

The emperor actually came to Beiping!

Although most of the people living in the city were Han Chinese who moved here after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, they inevitably longed for the prosperity of the past from the mouths of some "old Beiping", but those are in the past.

Of course, as a Peking native, what is their greatest convenience? I'm afraid you can spend 2 cents to visit for a day. As one of the three imperial palaces in China, the Forbidden City is the only one that is fully open, and for ordinary people, the royal Forbidden City is always fresh and curious, and because of this, four years ago, after the end of the Forbidden City's property inventory, it began to open to the outside world, allowing ordinary people to visit, that day Beiping can be said to be ten thousand empty alleys, the first day of open ticket sales of about 100,000, because of too many visitors had to send the military and police to suppress. At that time, Beiping's "Shuntian Daily" reported that "...... The two days are all open, so there are more tourists than in the past, and on the first day of opening, there are more than 20,000 tourists. On the second day of opening, there were more tourists than on the first day, totaling more than 30,000. The address of the Forbidden City is originally vast, but due to the large number of tourists, it is very crowded everywhere." Of course, this is only the scene when the Forbidden City was opened to the public on the first day, and under normal circumstances, the Forbidden City is not visited by so many people, and it is definitely not open to the scene where there is a flow of people everywhere now, after all, for the people around Beiping, not many people have the money and time to go to Beiping to see the Forbidden City.

This openness not only satisfied people's curiosity about the Forbidden City, but also made the people of Beiping realize that the royal family could never move back to Beiping, and the city could no longer become the capital from the day it was renamed "Beiping", and the so-called "Beizhili" was just a habit.

And now, when people see the royal carriage appear in Beiping City, those people immediately feel a long-lost "imperial spirit" nearby, at this moment, almost all of them are stunned, obviously, for these people in Beiping, all this is unfamiliar, they may be accustomed to the past kind of clean water sweeping streets, loess mat style swagger, but can not adapt to this kind of "passing the market" without telling outsiders.

Just when everyone instinctively knelt down, at the door of a small restaurant on the side of the road, a woman in a green cloth Han dress looked at the carriage with a complicated expression, and her eyes couldn't talk about hatred or any other taste, but it seemed a little complicated.

Could it be that the Han emperor is sitting in this car?

Thinking of the catastrophe suffered by the banner people, she couldn't help but sigh, and then the five big and three rough men beside her looked at her and said.

"What's wrong, Lan'er, you, after so many years, you still can't let go, look at how to clean up your ...... when you go home at night"

The man's words made the woman's face red, and she immediately lowered her eyebrows and said.

"What can't I put down, just thinking, hey, forget it, forget it......"

As she said this, when her eyes looked at the cavalry team in the distance, there seemed to be some unwillingness in her eyes, but more helplessness.

Escorted by hundreds of cavalrymen, the carriage entered the Zhengyang Gate, and then directly entered the Forbidden City. After entering the Forbidden City through the Taiping Gate, the convoy drove along the east coast to Fengze Garden, located in the north of the South China Sea, and stopped in front of the main building of the park, the Dunxu Palace.

Fengze Garden was built in the Kangxi period, which was originally a place for raising silkworms, and the emperor performed here before holding a pro-ploughing ceremony during the Yongzheng period. The hall is one of the larger halls of the royal garden. In another time and space, it was the seat of the Supreme Council of State.

However, Zhu Yifeng did not mean to stay here, and after getting off the carriage, he finally bypassed the Dunxu Hall and headed west, and entered a chic pavilion by the lake.

"The lotus wind and the dew pavilion are really as good as the name."

Li Ziyuan looked at the plaque on the pavilion and sighed.

Li Ziyuan, who entered Fengze Garden for the first time, would always be unable to help but look at this royal garden, if it weren't for Zhu Yifeng becoming the emperor and then opening the Forbidden City to the outside world, he and many people would probably not have the opportunity to see this royal forbidden garden in this life.

Looking south from the lotus wind and dew pavilion, a long stone bridge connects the north shore of the South China Sea and the Yingtai in the center of the lake, only to see the pavilions and halls on the island are vertical and horizontal, the red wall and tiles are hidden in the shade of the green willow and acacia, the lake is rippling with the wind, but the lotus leaves along the coast have gradually withered, and it is a little fly in the ointment.

"When you retire in the future, if you like it here and want to live here, you can talk to me at any time."

Zhu Yifeng smiled, no one in the upper echelons of the empire would not believe in his promises, whether in the past or now, he never promised easily, but he must do what he promised, and all small favors and small favors can make him perform boldly and naturally, which may be what he must master as an emperor.

"Retirement ......"

At this point, Li Ziyuan immediately thought of the decree issued a few years ago, ordinary civil servants and teachers must pay pension insurance, and they can retire when they are 65 years old, even if they are a high-ranking official like him, they must retire when they are 70 years old.

It is similar to the officials of the past, but unlike the Zhishihou, they can receive relatively generous pensions, and it is precisely because of this that ordinary officials do not need to worry about their livelihood after retirement, and then do everything possible to solicit bribes. Of course, more importantly, His Majesty has always had zero tolerance for corruption in the officialdom, not only promulgating a large number of laws and regulations to restrict the power of officials, but even setting up a special agency directly under His Majesty himself to punish corruption.

"Thank you for your majesty's grace, but after retirement, if the minister can still go through the sea road, when the time comes, the minister will probably go to the fiefdom, wouldn't it be beautiful to be a free marquis! And he can defend the territory for His Majesty! ”

When answering His Majesty's question, Li Ziyuan was extremely cautious, as a courtier, he knew very well that although this place was good, it was not a place where "mortals" were located, and as a courtier, he had to decline.

"You......"

Looking at Li Ziyuan with a smile, Zhu Yifeng could feel his caution from his words:

"Hey, if that's the case, I'm afraid that by then, we'll never see each other again......"

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, His Majesty's words made the corners of Li Ziyuan's mouth tremble slightly, and then he picked up the teacup in disguise, and he didn't even notice it, his fingers trembled slightly.

"You see, in this place, ten years ago, Xianfeng never thought that one day he would die in Chengde, and he also thought that the so-called "Great Qing Dynasty" would fall apart like this! ”

Turning around and pointing to the ultraviolet rays, Zhu Yifeng's tone was full of sighs, the reason why he came to Beiping was not to feel anything else, but to feel the "breath of the country" here, to warn himself.

Sometimes, the more things seem to go smoothly on the surface, but in reality, there is always a little worry about everything. Especially now, in the face of the chaotic situation, Zhu Yifeng always hopes that he can be sober, instead of being distracted by the victory in front of him.

After all, no one knows better than him that in later generations, there are too many examples like China now, and there are always brilliant victories in the early days of the war, but as the war progresses, there are too many examples of weak follow-up!

Just when Zhu Yifeng looked solemn and wanted to get some inspiration from the change of dynasty here, suddenly, a sound that seemed to be a song came from a distance across the palace wall, and when that voice came, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but be stunned, he was a little unfamiliar with this kind of voice, but when Zhu Yifeng heard that voice, his brows couldn't help frowning, and his face suddenly showed an unhappy look.

"Where did this come from?"

He didn't expect to hear this kind of sound in the Forbidden City in Beiping, and his original mood of some turmoil became a little depressed because of this sound.

"Your Majesty, that's the voice from the Huihui Temple that Hongli built outside the Baoyue Tower for his favorite concubine in order to please him......"

Listening to the introduction of the attendant officer, Zhu Yifeng's brows were locked at first, and his lips read "Baoyue Building" and "Baoyue Building", and suddenly, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he said in the direction where the voice came.

"Now that the Forbidden City has been opened, it is inconvenient to enter the Forbidden City, so it seems that I can open another door, thinking that it is a special use, and I can open three of the lower floors of Baoyue Tower and rebuild them into gates. Well...... As for the red wall in front of the door, you can open a gap and add two "eight-character walls" to make the gap connect with the gate ......"

Thinking of an allusion in later generations, Zhu Yifeng will fully demonstrate his arbitrariness as an emperor.

"Well, outside of this new gate, it is natural to rebuild the road......

The rest doesn't need Zhu Yifeng to explain anymore, as a courtier, he naturally knows where His Majesty's mind is, and in a few words, he has actually decided the fate there. After re-planning his own "garden", Zhu Yifeng listened to the alien words that seemed to be songs and not songs in the air, and then said seriously.

"Buddhism was introduced to China only a few hundred years ago, and it has been preaching in Chinese and "interpreting the scriptures with Confucianism", so it has become the religion of China, and the same is true of Christianity, "interpreting the scriptures with Confucianism" is a necessary thing for any religion to enter China, and any religion must be localized and sinicized, which is unquestionable......

Then he sneered again.

"But there are some people who do everything possible to resist this, resist localization, resist Catholicism, then I forbid them to preach in China, either accept it or ban it, there are only two choices! There is no other way, and some things are the same......"

Saying this, he was in a good mood, but it would have become even more depressed because of the low voice that seemed to be a song, and everyone could feel his dissatisfaction at this time, and Li Ziyuan just smiled, as we all know, for some religions, His Majesty does not have any good feelings.

"I have decreed many times that education is really the first priority of a strong country, so since the local land temple or even the temple can be converted into a school, those places are no exception!"
