On the plain, a steel beast is galloping freely. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the body of the giant beast is black, it gasps, spitting heavy white smoke, this is its gasp, but also he has to roar.

It marched wildly, like a dragon crawling on the ground, waiting to rise into the air. It's just that its body is too heavy to fly, so it has no choice but to lie on the ground and vent his energy. However, even if he couldn't fly, he drove Datang and drove forward.

"It's like a dragon. It's a pity it's black.'" , Li Deyu looked out the window, he looked at the scenery that kept flying backwards, even if he saw it many times, he still felt very intoxicated. This train is a steel-like beast, eating some human beings can not eat coal, but can play a variety of functions, for Li Chen tried his best to develop science and technology, Li Deyu did not think so, now he understands, science and technology is the first production force.

"It's beautiful, that's the power of technology." , Li Chen said the same thing opposite him. He will never get tired of this kind of scenery when he sees it, not only the steam locomotive, the power and beauty are presented, but also because of the meaning behind it.

Li Chen admired the steam locomotive very much, admired the rough beauty, and the huge power contained in the huge body. This steel beast hides an incomparable power, capable of carrying cargo longer and heavier than its body, which is difficult for humans to achieve.

Behind it is proud, it is even more difficult to calculate, this is a giant dragon, which can drag Datang to move forward frantically, crushing all the beasts that block Datang's progress. The train symbolizes a lot of meaning, the development of science and technology, the abundance of materials, and the improvement of national strength, all of which are immeasurable.

Although this railway was born by Li Chen, this is the first and unique dragon in the world. This train is made by Datang itself, from a screw to a huge steam locomotive, it is not like the late Qing Dynasty, just by importing, so it has to improve the overall national strength of Datang, and its huge impact is unimaginable.

Its significance is no less than that of the US-Soviet space race. Although it was only the United States that panicked and sparked a competition between the two sides, the whole project promoted a considerable amount of scientific and technological development, and finally had an unexpected effect, bringing down the former Soviet Union.

Of course, Datang has no competitors at present, and in the future that Li Chen wants, Datang will not have opponents, and now Li Chen wants to nip some possible opponents in the bud.

"If this is a dragon, then we are not in Dinghu." "It's a pity that this is a black dragon, not a yellow dragon." He and Li Deyu felt the same thing, and it was so honest that Wei Cong told a joke, and Choi Hyun also agreed.

Dinghu, legend has it that the Yellow Emperor was our ancestor, and the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven by dragon, and God said that his merits were enough, and he sent a Yellow Dragon to lead the Yellow Emperor. It's in Dinghu.

When the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven, many ministers wanted to go up with the dragon, but as soon as the dragon's body twisted, he threw people away. But now that Li Chen is riding a black dragon, these ministers have followed.

"Then this train will be called the Black Dragon." , Li Chen said with a smile that the royal trains in the future will be named after the black dragon.

This train, whose walls are made of steel, will appear black. The steel was several inches thick and so strong that it could not penetrate a hundred feet unless a cannon was used.

Needless to say, the interior is luxurious, of course, it is very luxurious. The walls are decorated with leather, which is beautiful and prevents people from crashing into the train in case of a sudden train crash.

For this reason, some of the corners, the handrails, are made of smooth wood, ground into an arc, and the floor is covered with precious woolen blankets imported from Persia, all for safety.

"These barbarians are old-fashioned, and they are not unexpected at all." "Polluting water sources, relocating, that's it." According to the news from the front line, after those steppe peoples suffered a big loss, they did not dare to contact the Tang army again, and they retreated like a retreat, constantly polluting water sources along the way, trying to block the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty.

"Sage, should we let the front army speed up the pursuit, otherwise if the time is delayed? I'm afraid it's a heavy burden.'" , Ling Fox asked worriedly, "Hasn't this matter been discussed?" For this battle, how much time has the imperial court prepared, this battle will be once and for all, so that these barbarians will not dare to covet our Tang Dynasty at one time, and completely put down the northern border, there is no need to care about this matter."

Li Chen dismissed Ling Huxuan's suggestion and continued, "If they want to retreat, give them back, everything is expected, this time not only let them surrender on the surface, but also completely put their heart on my Tang Dynasty."

The actions of the grassland people were all expected by Li Chen, for this battle, he had been preparing for a long time, a long time, several years of accumulation, just for the sake of the present dynasty, so that the fox no longer spoke, Li Chen's determination, everyone felt it. It's just that his personality, accustomed to merit and fault, is a standard bureaucrat, very afraid of things, and it is better to have nothing to do all day. Li Chen can tolerate his character because in addition to being afraid of things, Li Chen can also do well in the things he explains, otherwise he would have been driven to school by Li Chen.

Li Chen's determination was felt not only by the prime minister, but also by those steppe nomads. It's not so intuitive, but it feels very unusual.

In the past, they didn't cause trouble, and usually Datang wouldn't come to trouble them. Is invading a caravan a nuisance? In fact, in the past, the Tang Dynasty merchants rarely went out of Said, and most of them were herdsmen who went to a few designated places, where there were markets and could be traded. Is it a trouble to infest a caravan? On the one hand, they are inexperienced, and on the other hand, they are the victims.

Datang's newspapers, they also have them on the grassland, and seeing how Datang described the tragic experience of their caravan, they have a deep understanding of what it means to have the right to speak.

If two people quarrel, it's to see who has the loudest voice, or who has a high EQ, can make the other person half angry. If it is between countries or between two forces, it depends on who is better at propaganda, who is more likely to build momentum, and who is more defensible.

In this regard, the steppe is completely at a disadvantage. Don't look at those newspapers, it is all about the grassland nomads bullying the Tang Dynasty, how to plunder the Tang people, and how to coerce the caravan, but in fact, they are the ones who are really vulnerable.

The scope of influence of Datang newspapers is no longer limited to Datang itself, but has spread to many places, not to mention on the grassland, which is too close to Datang and has the deepest influence. Although they can't read the Datang newspaper, if the caravan comes, they can ask the caravan to read it to them.

In places like Bangzi Country and Wa Kingdom, the newspapers of the Tang Dynasty are also very popular, and the daily newspapers are the favorite of the local aristocracy.

That's right, now there are no planes, it is impossible to transport them by air, how can I deliver newspapers every day? Even in modern times, it is difficult to do, and air transportation is expensive, unless it is used online. However, you can accumulate a few days and send it at once. It is delivered to the local area every day, so although it will be ten days and half a month late, it can still achieve daily newspaper delivery.

As for the Tianfang people who are a little farther away, it is also in this way, the Tianfang people are also reading Datang newspapers, and through the flights that will be made every month, Datang personnel, goods, and even various cultures are influencing the Tianfang people. I have to say that modern Tianfang people are not as radical, closed, and conservative as later generations.

They have not yet reached the glorious period, the glorious period of the heavenly people, not only the land, but also in culture, science and technology, and various fields have made achievements, and their achievements have influenced the later Western countries, and also influenced later generations.

No matter how brilliant they are, now they are a country that has been born for more than 100 years, and their own culture is still very fragile, and all aspects have been influenced by the Tang Dynasty. When Li Chen vigorously introduced the culture of the Heavenly and Greek eras, he also continued to export the culture of the Tang Dynasty to influence the Heavenly Party, and the newspaper was a very powerful tool.

Therefore, when the newspapers described a lot of how Datang was bullied by the grassland people, almost the whole world spurned them in unison, and even many grassland people felt that they were wrong. But some of the parties, such as the one who reprimanded, he wanted to say, we are the victims.

Is it so easy to grab a caravan? The grassland is the jungle, and one tribe clashes with other tribes and is destroyed, unless they have a strong force behind them, no one cares at all. The grassland people knew this, and the Datang caravan knew it better than them.

Each caravan is actually very hard and difficult to gnaw. As soon as you touch the enemy, you will immediately make a circle and start defending. Naturally, they didn't have muskets, and they all used strong crossbows that had been cut down by the Tang Dynasty before. But in that respect, it was not inferior to the musket.

If he hadn't understood the path in the future and knew that the era of firearms would eventually come, Li Chen might not have considered replacing this new type of strong crossbow at all.

However, Li Chen did not completely abandon this weapon. Open to private market sales. However, the sale is a weakened version, and there is strict management, and the purchase registration is strict, so not everyone can buy it.

In addition, if you have bought it before, you want to buy a new one, and the old one must be replaced, not just buy it and get it. In addition, this weapon also has a serial number, and if it is found that a person other than the registrant is in possession, the original purchaser will be held responsible. Anyway, all kinds of management are very strict to ensure that there will be no outflow.

However, even a weakened version of the crossbow arrow is not something that the nomads can afford, this kind of crossbow arrow is fast and vicious, and with the defense of the cart, it is simply more difficult to deal with than a hedgehog.

Those who wanted to rob the caravan were bled on the head. Basically, after trying once or twice, in fact, many people don't dare to trouble the caravan anymore. What about the caravans that the newspapers said were robbed? Also, since the caravan is not easy to rob, how could anyone dare to do it in the first place.

In fact, those were all small caravans, thinking that the grassland was very profitable, so they formed a caravan by themselves, hired a cheap bodyguard, and went out.

Datang's bodyguard industry is currently thriving, very prosperous. Many of the bodyguards are former retired soldiers. Not everyone can adapt to retirement life, and some people are not adapted to the situation after retirement and are left as seeds. Some were counselled to open a dart board and become a kind of semi-militia, specifically to protect the caravans.

However, because of Li Chen's crackdown, the Chunfeng Project not only counted the population of Datang, but also counted the employment rate, and also targeted some unemployed people by the way. Datang's public security has greatly improved.

Those pungent skins were afraid, and they simply opened a dart game, and they dared to contract out the stuffed business, thinking that the money was very profitable, so tragedy happened.

It is because of those small caravans, coupled with false rumors, that more people have joined this industry, which is not only simple but also in line with the lifestyle of the grassland people, and is very profitable.

In fact, most of them have suffered a big loss, how can there be so many small caravans to grab. In addition, they have also learned well, and they have used the shareholding system to jointly hire regular dart boards, and they have been robbed less and less. Therefore, those who do it want to cry, who is the victim of the horse's hooves.

Not only was it a crusade, but later the Tang Dynasty changed its direction and began to report that there were copper mines in the grassland. This is the case with Wannian Daily, which was robbed of the lead by Chang'an Daily before, and now they have moved back to Yicheng, and the reason for agitating to send troops is very simple, saying that there are big copper mines and big gold mines in the grassland, but they have not been discovered.

This really caused a bit of a sensation, and the New World was forbidden to go, and it was inconvenient to go, but this grassland can always go. If a large copper mine is discovered, or even a large gold mine, it will be developed.

How did this get the word? How can so many people believe. It's very simple, first of all, it is a second-edition news, and a historian of the Tang Dynasty has to study it.

The official position of this historian is the "Straight History Museum". The history of the Tang Dynasty, according to the convention, will be led by a prime minister, who is not responsible for the revision, but only for the final check. He is the general director.

Then, he is really responsible for the daily administration, and the revision of history has to be "the revision of the history museum", about two or three, among them, there is a leader, hanging "judging the affairs of the history museum", which is the real second-in-command.

As for the Zhishi Museum, it is a lower level, and the specific posts are not fixed, and they are all held by some low-level civil officials. When necessary, more will be recruited, and the number of people is usually small.

However, no matter what position he holds, if he can enter the history of cultivating the country, he is a promising official, and his knowledge and ability are all affirmed.

This is a situation, that is, the Zhishi Museum proposed, he put forward a very novel view, saying that the Huns have a very high bronze craftsmanship. He researched the bronze plaque he bought by chance, and together with some historical records, it proved that the Huns had a very good bronze craftsmanship.

Then, from this process, it was inferred that there must be a large copper mine on the northern grasslands, otherwise how could they have such superb craftsmanship. As for copper mines, there is usually associated with gold, and if there are large copper mines, there will be large gold mines, but they have not yet been discovered.

All of a sudden, the voice of sending troops to the north was very loud. Everyone is red-eyed, there are gold and silver mines in the northern grasslands, and the New World cannot be reached without a boat, and the northern grasslands can be reached on two legs.
