On August 16, a company sent back by Gan Ning had already sent Xiahou Yuan to Jinling - of course, when he docked near the port, he had already untied the "five flowers".

Before he had to tie it up, even if he didn't let go, he didn't let go, and he only fed compressed biscuits when he ate, because in case he ran away, the military law would be merciless at that time, and escort a Jinyu general, even if he had already placed a military talisman, he must not be negligent.

As for the nearby ports, they have already reached the territory of Chu State, so naturally there is no need to be so careful.

Even if Gan Ning didn't specifically remind them, they knew Xiahou Yuan's identity......

As an important general of the captured enemy army, there would have been a certain amount of treatment, not to mention that Xiahou Yuan and "Princess Cao Juan" are still father and daughter - they, the grassroots generals, do not know that Xiahou Yuan is "adopting" the daughter of his deceased brother, but they also know that Cao Juan's "Cao" was changed later, and it is actually Xiahou Yuan's "daughter".

Therefore, he had to save some face for him, and besides, Xiahou Yuan didn't cause any trouble along the way.

was sent all the way to Jinling, and Xiahou Yuan also had mixed feelings in his heart......

At first, it was just the embarrassment of being captured, and the embarrassment of meeting the "daughter and son-in-law" in this situation.

However, later from Jinling Port, I directly took the "real gas car" to gallop on the rails, and in just two hours, I came to Jinling from the port!

And after ...... "came" to Jinling for another half an hour, he finally arrived at the Jinling City he was familiar with!

When Xiahou Yuan came to Chu in the sixth or seventh year, Jinling City was already surrounded by a large number of workshops, and now it is ...... The encirclement is even more exaggerated.

The original Jinling City, at this time, in terms of area, was already very inconspicuous for "Jinling", but the degree of "liveliness" and prosperity was better than in the past.

What you know, what you don't know, what you can understand, what you can't understand...... There are many more "peculiar" infrastructures than before.

It was only more than a year ago that the railroad real gas train began to operate with various large cities as hubs.

Although the coverage is not very developed, the entire Chu State "is" less than 5,000 miles of railroad tracks, half of which are relatively lightweight, but there is no problem in scaring the generals of other princes who have "never seen the world".

After the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the late Qing Dynasty built more than 20,000 miles of Han-made railways in the last 30 years, which shows that the steel production is completely sufficient......

Although the population of Chu is only 5% of that of the late Qing Dynasty, in terms of national strength, compared with the top powers, it is only a short accumulation, and the railways in France during the same period are equivalent to 100,000 li of the Han system.

5,000 miles is far from extending in all directions, basically a small cross is drawn in Jiangdong, a small cross is drawn in Huainan, and a small cross is drawn in Jingbei......

In addition to the traffic in these important areas, there are some small railways that transport ore for short distances.

However, even so, for Xiahou Yuan, it was already miraculous.

After all, he saw that the people who came to Jinling with him, as well as the stones that seemed to be thousands of catties, were also packed in a section of cargo boxes, and they came to Jinling in two hours.

If he hadn't been captured now, and he couldn't ask with a good face, he would have wondered what kind of beast had "trained" this thing.

Could it be the unicorn of Jiaozhou and the great beast of South Vietnam?

Although I heard that South Vietnam had these giant beasts with long necks and long noses, it was ...... It's not that big, is it?

Or...... Same as the True Qi Ship?

The railroad tracks of the Chu State have been prepared for a long time, but the true qi car was "dug out" in the past two years, that is, after the relationship with other princes further deteriorated.

Therefore, even Xiahou Yuan didn't know the specifics - Ma Jun of Wei knew it, after all, the technology of Chu has always been the focus of exploration.

But it's useless to know, Ma Jun can simulate the structure of the real gas car, but there are still two difficulties in the "real gas machine".

The first is the production of the core that stores a large amount of true qi, and the second is the ...... If you get a lot of True Qi!

The former is a technical difficulty that Pang Tong also took a long time to overcome, and although Wei has Chu Zhuyu in front, no matter how much the technology is blocked, it will be leaked, which reduces a lot of difficulty for latecomers, but there are too few corresponding talents in Wei State, and Ma Jun is not good at these......

As for the latter...... The principle is very simple, the general true qi cultivation method that the whole Chu country knows, it is not too easy to find out.

However, this is meaningless to the Wei State, whether it is a farmer or a laborer, they are still struggling with food and clothing, where does the true qi come from?

However, now in the "center" of the Chu State, Xiahou Yuan saw the scene behind the scenes of the Chu State, and began to question the decision-making of the Wei State - not to question Cao Cao, but to question the Wei State!

As the core of the Wei State, Xiahou Yuan naturally knew that although Cao Cao could suppress the court in the current situation of the Wei State, he was no longer able to command the court......

And the various measures to benefit the people before the popularization of true qi, or the measures that are more conducive to the middle and lower classes, the biggest resistance is by no means Cao Cao!

But now Xiahou Yuan doesn't have to think about this, and he knows that Bai Tu will not let him go back, and he even feels a sense of relief when he thinks about it...... Just for a moment.

Sure enough, when Xiahou Yuan saw Bai Tu again, Bai Tu still respected him very much, and called Xiahou Juan and Bai Ningning, pointing at the latter and saying, "This is also Xiahou's child."

However......

Xiahou Yuan's situation is obviously too different from his son Xiahou Ba in history.

Xiahou Ba was forced to Shu Han by the Sima clan, plus Liu Chan's queen was born to Zhang Fei and the Xiahou clan, so naturally Xiahou Ba could surrender to Shu without any psychological burden - after all, the Wei State has been controlled by Sima Yi, and the Cao family and the Xiahou clan are both targets of suppression, especially the latter, which is completely naked liquidation.

However, Xiahou Yuan was only defeated and captured, and at this time, it was too weak to use "kinship" to say that he was surrendering.

Not to mention that the whole family is doing well in Yecheng, and the adult sons are all high-ranking officials, not to mention Xiahou Yuan's character, he is not a person who will surrender because of this.

"Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, but the fifteenth moon and sixteenth round, General Xiahou has not come back late, so let's have a good reunion with Juan'er." Bai Tu did not force it either...... Or that he didn't expect Xiahou Yuan to surrender.

“…… King Xie Chu. "Xiahou Yuan is very dignified, and there are not many sets.

As for the more dignified...... can't be angry with Bai Tu.

After all, Wei and Chu were just a simple conflict of interests, the direct fuse of the Bohai War, or the Gongkou of Wei to start attacking Chu...... That's just there!

And although the Chu State was ruthless this time, it also dared to speak out to the world - after all, most of those smuggler ships had a slave hunting business, and when the news of the defeat of the Wei State spread to the north and the fried seafood peninsula, it is estimated that the local people will only be grateful to the Chu army.

Even......

Xiahou Yuan also faintly felt that although this did more harm than good to Wei State, it was by no means without "benefits", after all, the total annihilation of the navy was obviously more painful than those gate valves!
