Half a year later. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Excellency, please!"

With excitement on his face, a worker handed a brand-new wrench to Lu Yi, who stayed in Daming Xijing.

The latter took the wrench, raised his head with infinite emotion and looked into the distance, a long steel dragon in front of him seemed to extend infinitely in the wild desert, a train full of various road construction materials was stopping not far away, in front of the train countless soldiers, workers and slaves gathered, looking at his feet with expectant eyes. At his feet, the long dragon of steel was still stretching backwards, as if infinitely, and the same train laden with road construction supplies stopped not far behind him, and in front of the train there were also countless soldiers, workers, and slaves staring at his feet with expectant eyes.

Because just below his feet, there was a small piece missing from the long steel dragon.

At this time, several slaves were carrying a steel rail under the command of the workers, carefully filling the gap, the heavy steel rail fell on the sleeper with a slight sound, the long dragon of steel was finally complete, and then began to install fasteners, one by one huge nuts were tightened one after another, when the last nut was left, the applause around rang out, Lu Yi came back to his senses, smiled and bent down to tighten the nut with the wrench in his hand, and at the moment when he straightened up again, the cheers suddenly resounded throughout the desert.

This is Shuanghe County, Shuanghe Prefecture, Beiting Province, Daming Dynasty.

At this moment, the railway repaired from Xijing Longcheng to the east, and the railway repaired from Luntai to the west has completed the connection, the same rail that has just been laid, is also the last rail of the Longcheng Railway, at this moment, after a full twelve years of construction of the Longcheng Railway, the whole line was completed, and the long dragon composed of two rails stretched out from the distant Ming inland railway network, across thousands of miles of mountains, rivers, forests, valleys, deserts, Gobi, and finally extended into the hinterland of the Western Regions.

It extends to Xijing Dragon City.

This is actually Alashankou, Yang Feng's cross-North Tianshan Railway is very unrealistic, and when the route is finally set, it was changed to go out of Alashankou to bypass the North Tianshan Mountain, that is, the route of the Northern Xinjiang Railway.

If according to Yang Feng's original plan, then the most in line with his requirements, that is, the route of the Jingyihuo Railway, but this route needs to dig the North Tianshan Tunnel, with the current technical level of the Ming Dynasty, this thirteen-kilometer-long super tunnel is obviously a bit exaggerated, you must know that even in modern times, this tunnel has been excavated for nearly four years. If the tunnels alone were fine, he still needed to build a lot of super-high railway bridges, and in order to cross those mountain valleys, he almost needed to build a bridge in less than three miles, and all of them were very high bridges, and it was obvious that these could not be completed within his limited time, so he had to change it to the line of Alashankou. This is also the reason why the Longcheng Railway was two years later than he planned, he had to build the railway from Ili to Longcheng first, so that the steel from Ili could be transported over, and then build it from Longcheng to Shuanghe, which was hundreds of miles longer than the original route.

Of course, this is all in the past.

This traffic artery connecting the east and west of the Ming Dynasty was finally completed, and Emperor Yang's twelve-year expectation finally became a reality at this moment, looking at the soldiers, workers and slaves who were cheering, Lu Yi threw the wrench to the worker very casually, and then said to the officer beside him: "Send a report to the emperor, the Longcheng Railway has been completed!" ”

The Dragon City Railway is completed!

Immediately after this news is like the shock wave of the earthquake in Daming, and even spread around the world, but in Daming it brings jubilation, all newspapers and even radio stations in Daming are cheering for this, after 12 years of waiting, the ideal finally became a reality, since then the Ming mainland and the Western Regions have been completely connected into a whole. All the resources there, including the latest oil extraction, will be transported to the interior by rail, and the immigrants from the interior will no longer have to drive horse-drawn carriages around, they can comfortably travel between the east and the west by train.

But outside of the Ming it brought terrification, and all the monarchs of Central Asia to distant Europe trembled at it, because they knew it......

Their nightmare has befallen them.

"I'm their nightmare!"

At Nanjing Pukou Railway Station, Yang Feng sat in a luxurious carriage, looked at the surging river not far away, and said proudly.

Only half a year after returning to Nanjing, His Majesty the Emperor once again embarked on a tour.

And this time, of course, by train.

And the destination ......

Xijing Dragon City, of course.

The special train depicting the golden dragon, in the sound of the people's farewell, began to sound the whistle and prepare to leave the station, behind this special train, the entourage of the train escort has poked their heads out, and waved to the relatives who saw them off outside, but unlike usual, this time the accompanying personnel included the famous dragoon guards, these full-body plate armor seats under the British horsemen in the hands of the emperor's personal guards, which means that this trip is not a patrol but a march.

Expedition to the West.

"Your Majesty, please use the seal!"

An attendant handed the prepared holy decree to Yang Feng and said.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was enjoying the scenery, bowed his head very casually, and then the attendant who held the seal next to him immediately took out the jade seal and solemnly stamped the holy decree, and then the attendant withdrew with the holy decree, while an officer was already waiting outside, and immediately got off the train that was sounding the whistle after getting the holy decree, boarded a car next to him, and headed for a ferry on the bank of the river.

Behind him, the dragon train was already spewing steam and began to accelerate.

Soon, when Emperor Yang took the train to admire his great rivers and mountains, one after another orders were quickly issued from the General Staff of the Ming Army, and sent to the headquarters of the Ming Military Regions through radio waves, and then the troops stationed in various parts of the Ming Dynasty also boarded the train to transport troops, and then along the developed railway network built in more than 20 years, began to converge to the distant Western Regions, the First Army stationed in Beijing, the Third Army stationed in Shenyang, the Second Army stationed in Nanjing, and the Fifth Army stationed in Kunming......

One after another, the beasts that had been dormant for many years have awakened, and with their former glory, they have followed their kings and embarked on a great journey again.

But that's not all.

At the same time, orders were also issued from the military headquarters, sent to the provincial armed forces departments, and then from the provincial armed forces departments to the armed forces departments of the provinces and counties, and then the conscription orders began to be sent to the local reservists, and those reserve soldiers who had been busy in the fields and factories immediately ended their normal lives, put on their military uniforms, and gathered at various assembly points, and then were sent to recruit barracks everywhere, and such battalions, brigades, and military sites were formed. According to the emperor's decree, the Ming army will be expanded from fifteen armies and two cavalry corps to forty corps and five cavalry corps in the next year, and this is only the first batch of expansion, it is said that His Majesty the emperor in the future intends to expand the total strength of the army to one hundred armies, that is, three million. Although even if there are only seventeen armies, it is enough to complete the important task of the Western Expedition, but after all, this fertile land cannot be fought down, the most important thing is to defend it, not to mention that a newly conquered country must be stationed at least one army, like Russia, a vast country, it is estimated that one army is not enough, Yang Feng is ready to maintain a standing army of at least three million in the future, otherwise it is difficult for him to effectively control the entire occupied area in the world.

And this is only for the Army.

At the same time, the navy also issued an order for the collection of reserves, and the merchant ships that were included in the reserve list also received the order to join the active service, and set sail from various ports to the nearest military port, including some decommissioned and mothballed warships were also reactivated, and then sailed into the shipyard for overhaul, and then rejoined the active service of the navy, and soon these merchant ships and recommissioned warships will be loaded with reinforcements of the Ming army to the Persian Gulf and Suez, to enhance the strength of the Ming army there, and prepare for the next round of offensive.

And in various military ports, one after another the latest Hongwu-class battleships and Qi Jiguang-class cruisers have also sailed out of the military ports to the Middle East, once the Suez Canal is opened, they will all pour into the Mediterranean, with those terrifying seven-inch guns to declare the majesty of the Ming Empire, these giant ships with a endurance of 10,000 nautical miles can basically dominate the vast ocean from the Mediterranean Sea to the Baltic Sea, plus the bases in Zhaonan and the Americas, the entire Atlantic Ocean is under their suppression.

It can be said that when Emperor Yang's train to the west was still running, the entire Ming Empire quickly switched to a state of war.

"Strength, we use strength to crush."

Yang Feng sat in the carriage and said proudly with a wine glass.

"Your Majesty, the first batch of five armies has all set off, and it is expected that they will all arrive in Longcheng within three months, plus the first cavalry army there, the sixteenth infantry army formed by garrisons from all over the country, we will put seven armies at one time on the green ridge battlefield, and the third cavalry army will be almost completed by then, if you add the third cavalry army, it will become six infantry corps and two cavalry corps. According to intelligence, the total number of Russian troops in Central Asia has reached 40,000, and the European Catholic army dominated by the Templars and Teutonic Knights totals about 20,000, and the rest is the combined army of Bukhara, Khiva and Little Yuz, but they have added a large number of muslins from other countries, and the total strength should be 300,000, and the Abu Dari and Gilzai in Kandahar have also sent less than 70,000 troops, because these countries are all soldiers, so there are many but the quality is uneven. ”

Chen Lie said.

His current position is Chief of Staff of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the Generalissimo of the Western Expeditionary Army, of course, is held by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

"They're not worth mentioning!"

Yang Feng said disdainfully.

The enemy in Central Asia is indeed not worth mentioning, his real opponent is the Ottoman Empire, of course, and Persia, but Persia has behaved very deferentially over the years, and it is about to catch up with the Mughal Empire, making it difficult for him to be sure that the Persians will fight him to the death for their faith, after all, the last time the Ming army beat them too hard, and even in order not to offend him a few years ago, the Persian king Hussein also had bloody suppression of those elders. But it's hard to say, Hussein is not young now, and he is already drunk and doesn't care much, and Persia is also in chaos, and the general in the army has been in power for many years, and this guy belongs to the Ming hardliner, and it is not ruled out that Hussein cannot control the country.

Of course, even if Persia joins, it is not a big deal, and when he finishes fighting these messy guys in Central Asia, his first batch of army expansion will be completed, and everything will be scum in front of the Ming army of forty armies, and then the two fronts in the east and west will work together to level the whole of Asia in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, will even India be taken this time?"

Chen Lie asked.

India's Mughal Empire has actually been abolished, although it is also muslin, but for the war between Yang Feng and Muslin, he pretended not to know anything at all, and even the envoys of the Ottoman Empire went to engage in brotherly union, and the Mughal emperor simply disappeared, and it was also very touching to shrink the head of the turtle. Of course, this is largely due to their inability, at this time the Mughal Empire was only a little less than the size of modern Pakistan, and it was still entangled with the Marat Alliance in the south every day, in this case, they even had to rely on those Ming arms dealers to protect themselves, how could they have the ability to do such a great job of defending the faith.

Besides, faith is like that, after Emperor Yang's personal conquest, the Indians are no longer what they used to be, whether it is Muslin or Hindu believers have begun to convert to the Holy Religion, so that this land, which was originally called a religious museum, has added more and more holy religious believers, and the holy shrines of the Holy Religion have long been seen everywhere in India.

But that didn't stop the generals of the Ming Dynasty from thinking about him.

"India doesn't need it."

Yang Feng waved his hand casually and said.

He really has no interest in India, this is reserved for his son to play, saying that he has destroyed all the countries, so what are his children and grandchildren playing? It is too dangerous to leave other countries, especially European countries, any one of them is not good to develop, but it is absolutely impossible for India to be a country, and it is undoubtedly the most suitable to keep it for his descendants as a toy, anyway, he conquered India, which is nothing more than plundering resources as a dumping market, but he is not short of resources at all now, and the dumping market is already there.

What else can be conquered in this way?

Let his children and grandchildren slowly clean up and play in the future!

Not only India, but also South America, but North America is not good, North America is too dangerous to keep, this has to be cleaned up in the end, and then leave South America, leave India, Africa and Indians, and use them as toys for their children and grandchildren, anyway, they are all places that have no lethality at all, otherwise a Ming who has no goal of conquering is easy to lose his wildness, and he finally cultivated the little sheep of the Chinese people from the way of the sages into a group of aggressive wolves, but he can no longer be too full of food, In the end, it degenerated into a divine beast that could only live by selling cuteness.

He had to leave something for his children and grandchildren to sharpen their minions.
