As soon as he returned from the palace, Zhang Feng began to order everyone to pack up and prepare their horses to leave the capital, and at the same time talked to Meng Mingzhao about the emperor's marriage.

After listening to Zhang Feng's words, Meng Mingzhao pondered, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Son, after you entered the palace to face the saint, the old man calculated a hexagram again, and the hexagram image has changed, and it will turn evil into good fortune." ”

Zhang Feng was happy in his heart, it would be good if there was no danger, Zhang Feng said: "Is it the effect of this talisman?" ”

Meng Mingzhao said: "The amulet should also play a role, the key is that the son's life is good, if it is an ordinary person, he may have been murdered, childe, since the emperor wants to give marriage, then let him give marriage, this is not a bad thing." ”

Zhang Feng hurriedly said: "Old Meng, I already have Yuanyuan, how can this work?" ”

Meng Mingzhao said with a smile: "Childe, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, where is there a hanged on a tree, the old man has already helped you think about it, if the emperor gives a decree to marry, you will accept the decree, and then we will go back to Songjiang Mansion, as long as we go back to Songjiang Mansion, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, let's have another 'drag' trick, and drag this matter down." ”

Zhang Feng thought about it, and then nodded slowly, the matter has come to this, it can only be like this, but it is wronged in this way.

Meng Mingzhao smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.

About an hour later, Zhang Feng had already packed his bags, prepared his horse, and was about to leave the Songjiang Hall for Tianjin Wei, when the holy decree arrived.

Wang Chengen, the personal eunuch next to Chongzhen, personally brought a few eunuchs over to deliver the decree, and the holy decree was naturally to give marriage, to marry Her Royal Highness Princess Kunxing, and to recruit Zhang Feng as a concubine.

Waiting for Zhang Feng to receive the holy decree, Wang Chengen said: "Mr. Zhang, long live Lord wants me to tell you, you can go back to Songjiang Mansion first, and after Her Royal Highness the princess and the princess, you must go to Beijing to marry Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Now you can leave the capital, this is the best, it is exactly what Zhang Feng wants, as for waiting for Her Royal Highness the princess and Lu, it will be a few years later, and who can say what will happen in the future.

So, Zhang Feng agreed, and then took his men and horses to Tianjin Wei first, stayed in Tianjin Wei for a few days, waited for a steam-powered sea ship, boarded from Tianjin Port, and then returned to Songjiang Mansion.

The emperor gave marriage, this is a big thing, you are a concubine, others may feel supreme glory, but Zhang Feng himself can only sigh, and the first thing he said when he came back was to tell Chen Yuanyuan at this time.

Zhang Feng looked guilty and full of apologies, but what he didn't think about was that after listening to Zhang Feng say this, what surprised Zhang Feng was that Chen Yuanyuan was actually full of joy and was happier than anyone else.

Chen Yuanyuan has always been worried about his background, as Zhang Feng became more and more powerful, Chen Yuanyuan became more and more worried, worried that Zhang Feng would hang himself on this tree, if Zhang Feng was really like this, then he would harm Zhang Feng.

Now that this problem has been successfully solved, after listening to Zhang Feng talk about the emperor's marriage, Chen Yuanyuan's heart was light, and his face was happy, while being happy, Chen Yuanyuan said that he did not seek fame, and he could be Zhang Feng's concubine or lover.

Zhang Feng was moved, and at the same time sighed, in this era, there are too many people who are poisoned by the idea of three wives and four concubines, Chen Yuanyuan is a typical example, if it is a modern woman, if she learns that her boyfriend or husband has a second woman, she will not cry, make trouble and hang herself.

Chen Yuanyuan's understanding and generosity made Zhang Feng very moved, and that night, he hugged Chen Yuanyuan and loved him fiercely.

A few days after Zhang Feng came back, the news that Zhang Feng was recruited as the master of the horse also reached Songjiang Mansion, and Tan Yixian, the prefect of Songjiang, was the first to come to congratulate him, and Zhang Feng could only smile bitterly in the face of congratulations.

Zhang Yuanxiang was different, he was very happy to learn that his son was in the second grade of the official residence, and he was also recruited by Chongzhen as a concubine, worshipping the ancestors, holding a feast, and entertaining guests, Zhang Feng could only shake his head, Zhang Feng naturally did not participate in these things.

After Zhang Feng came back, he rested for a few days, and generally accompanied Chen Yuanyuan, and the two of them were like ordinary couples, shopping, or playing in the mountains and rivers, and they were concubines.

Although Chongzhen said that he wanted Zhang Feng to take a break from Chen Yuanyuan, Zhang Feng naturally wouldn't listen, this is Songjiang Mansion, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what about him, even if Chongzhen knows about himself and Chen Yuanyuan, he can only be angry, what else can he do?

Zhang Feng rested for several days, and after the troops returned from Liaodong, the main task was also to rest and recuperate, and of course, they would sum up the gains and losses of the war.

After about a month or two of rest, the expansion will be carried out, after this actual battle, everyone has actual combat experience, for the future expansion to lay a good foundation, Zhang Feng has already thought about the expansion of the army from more than 20,000 to more than 30,000 people.

Now it is a brigade and three regiments, after the expansion, there are still four brigades, but it will be a brigade under the jurisdiction of five regiments, that is, one brigade and five regiments, Zhang Feng also considered expanding from the division to the army, but this step is a bit big, step by step, first form a brigade and five regiments, and then expand to the scale of the army when the conditions are ripe.

Four brigades, twenty infantry regiments, quite the size of an army, on this basis, it will be easy to expand from a division to an army.

After a few days of rest, Zhang Feng had to go back to work.

Zhang Feng has a lot of affairs, not to mention military affairs, and there are many other things, such as the railway under construction, which needs Zhang Feng to care.

From Shanghai Railway Station (located in Pudong) to Songjiang Station, the railway is more than 40 kilometers long, Chongzhen began to build at the end of the 12th year, and now it is the end of April of the 13th year of Chongzhen, and the railway construction has been carried out for more than four months.

Shanghai Railway Station, Songjiang Station has been completed basic construction, platforms, waiting halls, etc. The total length of the railway is more than 40 kilometers, and there are several stations in the middle, of course, from the perspective of later generations, these stations can only be regarded as small stations, with only one or two platforms.

These small stations, located in the market towns along the way, the completion of the railway, the economic drive will be huge, of course, as the owner of the railway, Zhang Feng's income is also huge.

It was the first railway in history, and it appeared more than 200 years earlier.

Zhang Feng attached great importance to the construction of the railway, accompanied by Song Yingxing and others, inspected the railway under construction, although it was a rail (not a steel rail), using sleepers and road studs, but the design was a standard gauge, in Zhang Feng's opinion, the construction was decent.

This is a low-speed railway, not as high a standard as the later railways, although there is no construction machinery, but every day thousands of people work day and night, the railway construction process is relatively fast.

The railway construction process is relatively fast, and the railway survey from Songjiang to Suzhou and then to Changzhou has been completed, and the construction of the railway from Shanghai to Songjiang can be started after the construction of the railway from Shanghai to Songjiang is completed.

After watching the construction of the railway, Zhang Feng went to the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, where steam-powered trains were being manufactured.

Although it looks a little simple, but not simple, in terms of practicality, Zhang Feng has been fully considered, as an internationally renowned technical cow, designing such a steam-powered train, Zhang Feng feels that it is not difficult.

With full consideration of the existing technological level, Zhang Feng personally designed the world's first steam-powered train.

Of course, the train design is relatively simple, not using complex design, if Zhang Feng draws a detailed design drawing for each part, the amount of work is huge, Zhang Feng alone estimates that it is difficult to complete in a short period of time.

Except for some key components and parts that are detailed design drawings, most of them are only design diagrams, and the specific design is completed by Zhao Zuolin, Song Yingxing, and a large group of backbones of the Manufacturing Bureau.

Not to mention, after "mixing with Zhang Feng for a long time", Zhao Zuolin and others are really competent for such a job, in a certain factory of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, railroad tracks have been paved, and the rails have been leading to the outside, all the way to Shanghai Station, a few miles away.

On the railroad track in the center of the factory, the locomotive of a steam locomotive has begun to be manufactured, and the most difficult steam-powered train is naturally the locomotive.

Next to the steam locomotive, there are many workers installing parts, and in two or three months, the locomotive will be completed and put into trial operation.

On the railroad track in the center of the factory, there are several carriages under construction, and the technical content and technical difficulty of the carriages are naturally much smaller, and several carriages have been completed by nearly half.

In addition to the necessary parts such as the wheelset and the underframe, most of the carriage is made of wood, such as the box of the carriage is made of wood, which is built of wooden planks, and the seats in the carriage are also wooden, and the carriage will be painted with green paint in the future, which will also be beautiful.

Zhang Feng stayed in the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau for almost a month, except for the occasional return to Songjiang Mansion or the military camp to have a look, Zhang Feng spent most of the month in the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.

Zhang Feng and everyone built steam-powered trains together, and with Zhang Feng's "general technical guidance", the construction speed of steam-powered trains was significantly accelerated.

In addition to directing the construction of steam-powered trains, Zhang also did a big job.

It started a few days ago.
