"Your Highness, Yinren has run away!"

Tang Hai, chief of staff of the First Army, walked into the headquarters with the latest report and said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ran away?"

Yang Feng said with some surprise.

The Qing army did not block the Ming army on the Meridian Road, Yang Feng's estimation was wrong, and after the small number of fleeing Qing troops crossed the mountains and mountains into the Meridian Road, because the green camp garrison and those post guards along the line also joined the ranks of slaughtering fat sheep, so they were not able to transmit the news of the Ming army's raid to Hanzhong in time. When Yinren got the news and sent reinforcements from Hanzhong to Yangxian, the advance of the 1st Cavalry Brigade had already killed the South Meridian Pass, and the two sides did not fight, and the Qing army immediately withdrew to Hanzhong, and then Yinren simply fled south to Chengdu.

"And the Qing army burned all the plank roads into Sichuan, not only the Jinniu Road leading to Chengdu, but also the plank roads of the rice warehouse, lychee and other roads, and the capture battalion and the first cavalry brigade were exhausted from pursuit, and they were really unable to continue the pursuit, so they had to suspend and rest in Hanzhong."

Tang Hai then said.

The Capture Battalion and the First Cavalry Brigade started from Tongguan and drove for six or seven hundred miles non-stop, and most of them were steep mountain roads, and they had indeed reached the limit of physical strength.

However, this is not good news for Yang Feng.

This also means that he has nothing to do with Yinren in a short period of time, there are only a few roads into Sichuan, he can't fly into Sichuan once the plank road is burned, it is time-consuming and laborious to rebuild the plank road, it is better to get a batch of paddle steamers, Xuehuan Wen Huashu from the Yangtze River across the Three Gorges upstream, but before this he first has to take down the two lakes, Anqing, Wuchang, Jingzhou are still under the banner of the Qing Dynasty, in short, this will have to be talked about later, anyway, the thousands of Qing troops are just like the Liukou, there is no need to care too much.

"Go, bring Kang Mazi!"

Yang Feng said to the attendant.

He then left the headquarters and boarded his airship outside, which he now relied on for his operations.

In fact, the same thing has also begun to be equipped in the reconnaissance troops of the Ming Army, in order to replace the original use of very inconvenient hot air balloons, but it is filled with hydrogen, and the use of human drive, that is, similar to the bicycle pedal power to drive the propeller, although the speed is not fast, but at least you can control the direction at will, as for the hydrogen to take dilute sulfuric acid and metal reaction, the only problem is the high cost, but it can be regarded as its own supply, electrolysis technology is still too early.

After he boarded the airship, soon Kang Mazi was also brought over, Brother Ma is now tied up like a mummy, because he has long been on a hunger strike, and he is still hanging on glucose, and he looks at him with resentful eyes after meeting, but he can't open his mouth because his mouth is gagged.

"Brother Ma, let's go, take you for a ride!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Immediately after the airship lifted off, driven by the propellers, and flew eastward under the adoring gaze of the common people on the ground, the two soldiers firmly grasped Kang Mazi to prevent him from climbing out to play freefall, which he had tried to do the last time he returned to Xi'an from Fu Luo Road.

The airship, which can reach a speed of more than 300 miles per hour, flies smoothly in the sky, admiring the beautiful rivers and mountains below, and the new owner and the old owner of this land have quietly left the land of Guanzhong together.

"Down!"

An hour later, Yang Feng looked at the bottom and said.

The airship descended quickly.

At this time, they had arrived in Xin'an, below them was a busy construction site, the railway from Luoyang to Tongguan had been paved here, including the first batch of more than 2,000 prisoners of war white slaves and a large number of brown slaves and even black slaves, tens of thousands of slaves were under the whips and bayonets of the overseers, sweating heavy steel rails, digging rocks blocking the road, carrying rammed wooden pipes and shouting trumpets to tamp the roadbed, and those full-time technicians were responsible for installing steel rails and sleepers, behind them a black monster roared and spit billowing smoke, rumbling with all kinds of materials.

"A land boat can transport a million catties of goods at a time."

Yang Feng pointed to the train to Ma Ge Kopu.

Although the latter pretended to be calm, it was obvious that there was still an unconcealable shock in his eyes, and as a person who had led troops to war, he naturally understood what it meant to have such a steel road and something that could transport a million catties of goods at a time. The biggest constraint of the Ming army's combat is logistics, the Ming army with sufficient logistics is fundamentally invincible, which he deeply understands, in the past, Yang Feng's operations could not be separated from the support of sea or inland water transportation, and he never attacked unless he had to do without such conditions, and now, this kind of thing makes him no longer rely on water transportation.

It can be said that this kind of railway is Yang Feng's arm, and wherever the railway is laid, his arm will stretch out.

After the airship was lowered, Yang Feng was soon welcomed into the construction headquarters.

"Your Highness, this tunnel must be dug no matter what."

Luotong railway master, that is, the chief engineer Han Zong, said very directly to the drawings, he said that he was talking about the Kip Stone Tunnel, and it would be difficult to repair the railway after passing through the pond, especially the Kip Stone Pass.

He was the first batch of railway experts in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, at this time the Ming Dynasty only built a real railway, that is, the Changguo Railway for technology demonstration, but before that, it was also in Niutoushan, Ma'anshan two mines, and Wujin Iron and Steel Plant built a few horse-drawn railways. These railway experts are using some of the technical information provided by Yang Feng, plus the practice of their own step by step to grope and grow, the technical level must be limited, if it is better to build a railway on flat land, now run to the mountainous area, and it is an extremely complex mountainous area, that one by one is also tossed so much that they are about to vomit blood, it is said that they have been tired of one.

"Can't you build a herringbone route?"

Yang Feng meant to learn from Zhan Tianyou, in fact, he didn't know how to build a railway, and this was the only thing he could take out.

"No, even if you repair the herringbone route, you can't meet the slope requirements."

Han Zong said.

There is a standard for the slope of the railway, and Zhan Tianyou's herringbone route is to reduce the slope by extending the line, but the herringbone route where there is no way to descend is also in vain.

"Okay, then dig a tunnel, this king will go back and get you some new gunpowder, the power is several times greater than what we are using now, you must open this tunnel for me within two years, if it is completed within two years, this king will reward you with a viscount, and reward you with three barons!"

Yang Feng said.

"Your Highness!"

Han Zong and those craftsmen immediately knelt down excitedly, building railways to become nobles, this is like a fantasy for them, you must know that Daming did not seal any new titles except for some of the old titles, although everyone knows that Yang Wang Ye is estimated to be waiting for himself to ascend the throne, but after all, he has never opened such a mouth, and now the first clear title is actually them who build railways, it can definitely be said that the jaw dropped.

Yang Feng has no other way now, if he wants to attack to the west, then this railway must be built, and there is no plan even prepared.

The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has to go through Badaling, where it still has to dig a tunnel, and the construction difficulty is higher, the Zhengtai Railway also has to dig a tunnel, and there are large bridges, the difficulty is higher, Luoyang to Tongguan at least do not have to go hundreds of miles of mountainous areas, it is nothing more than a small section from Guanyintang to Shaanzhou, dozens of miles of road, after this section of the rest although it is not a horse Pingchuan, but there is no difficult road section.

In this way, the canal, the Yellow River, the railway, plus the Wei River starting from Tongguan, in a short period of time he can obtain an east-west artery.

The only problem with this artery is that it is easy to freeze in winter, fortunately, it is not long in the ice age, and sometimes it may not even freeze, this is a small problem, and when Haizhou Port is completed, the railway from Haizhou to Luoyang will be repaired again, and this problem will no longer be a problem at all, as for digging a tunnel, it is not a big deal, it is nothing more than to find Lin Qian to buy more explosives for emergency, and blow it up first.

Anyway, he still has to clean up the two lakes and the remaining provinces in the south, and he will not continue to attack westward in a short time, and it is estimated that there are still two years to build this railway, and two years should be about the same. Fortunately, slaves are not worth much now, and there are brown slaves in the East Indies, so if you can't do it, you can also send a fleet to play the role of pirates to capture the Japanese slaves, or simply to catch the Japanese slaves.

Thinking about the pirate ship of the Ming Dynasty, running to the coast of the Japanese country to capture the Japanese people, and then selling them to China as slaves, Yang Wang Ye suddenly felt that his life was full of fun.

After solving this problem, Yang Feng took Kang Mazi to Luoyang for an exhibition, and then set off for Beijing.

He had to first offer prisoners to His Majesty the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, that is, to pull Kang Mazi to various imperial tombs to exhibit.

First in Beijing, there are thirteen imperial tombs, Daizong Mausoleum has also been re-recognized and identified as the imperial mausoleum, as for Chongzhen, it is not his imperial mausoleum, it is his concubine, so it was rebuilt in Yingtian, and now it has been re-moved, and the temple number has also been re-designated as Zhenzong, innocent and observant, this is still more appropriate, after all, he did this when the king died, as for the thought was originally set by Hongguang for him, it is not a good word in the law, and the remembrance was said to be Si, and the lord of Shu Liu Xiaopang used it.

After the Beijing exhibition, we will go to Fengyang, which is still the capital after all.

Then it went to Yangzhou, Jiangyin and other places for exhibitions to comfort those who were killed that year, and finally pulled to the Ming Dynasty in front of the tomb of Ying Tianzhen.

As for Kang Mazi's punishment, he had already thought about it, Ling Chi was not fresh enough, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were already aesthetically tired of Ling Chi, after all, they had to chop one from time to time over the years, and let Kang Mazi and his sons and ministers be treated one another, which was not in line with his special status, so Prince Yang's punishment for Kang Mazi was......
