Chapter 280: Laying the Rails
"Order Xiang Yu to continue to clean up the Japanese invaders, and be sure to recover the territory of the Eight Roads of Juli within three days, and eliminate all the Japanese who invaded Juli!"
Zhao Lin said lightly.
"Yes. ”
Cao Zhengchun nodded, and then retreated.
After Cao Zhengchun retreated, King Gulyeo's mind also became lively, he immediately arched his hand towards Zhao Lin, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, since the city of Guryeo has been recovered, do you see if it is ......?"
He had also been in the capital division of the Great Song Dynasty for several days.
These days, there is not a day that he does not spend in restlessness.
for fear of becoming the king of the country.
Now, the royal city of Juryo has actually been recovered!
He, the king of Guryo, naturally wants to return to the royal city and continue to be his king of Guryo, presiding over the overall situation!
"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt for King Guli to stay for a few more days. ”
Zhao Lin did not immediately agree, but smiled lightly.
But Zhao Lin's smile made King Guli suspicious.
Zhao Lin didn't let him go back, could it be that he had an idea about Jurye?
The other party, is it trying to take the opportunity to annex Guli?
As soon as he thought of this, King Guryeo's face quickly turned ugly.
Although Zhao Lin promised him that he would help him expel the Japanese Kou, and he also paid the price of a princess.
But if Zhao Lin is really interested in Jureo, then he really has no way at all.
He knew very well that with the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, he could easily swallow Juli at any time!
It's as simple as a lion swallowing a mouse.
It all depends on Zhao Lin's mood!
This is the sorrow of the king of a small country!
Zhao Lin naturally saw King Juli's worries, and smiled: "King Juli don't worry, I am true to my word, since I promised to help you expel the Japanese and restore the mountains and rivers, I will definitely do it." ”
"It's just that there are still a lot of remnants of the Japanese in Juli now, and after General Xiang completely pacifies the entire territory of Juli, it will not be too late for you to return to China. ”
Hearing Zhao Lin's words, King Juli secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Zhao Lin, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, and then Xiao Wang will be arranged by Your Majesty." ”
As long as Zhao Lin doesn't take away him, the king of Guryeo, he will be satisfied.
But fortunately, he is also the father of the two princesses of Juryeo, and Princess Zhien's belly is also pregnant with Zhao Lin's flesh and blood.
Even if he doesn't dare to call himself Zhao Lin's father-in-law, the love is still there, right?
Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha.
Your Majesty, I don't think you would do such a thing.
In Zhao Lin's opinion, King Guryeo naturally thinks too much.
With the vastness of the current territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible to look down on the little projectile land of Guli at all.
As long as King Guli obediently surrendered and served the Great Song Dynasty with the gift of the king of the county, it was impossible for Zhao Lin to move Guli.
Strictly speaking, disdain.
"King Juryo, you Juli and Dongying are neighbors, only separated by a sea, how much do you know about Dongying?"
Zhao Lin took a sip of the wine glass on the table and asked.
Hearing this, King Gulyeo's expression immediately became solemn, he knew that Zhao Lin had a plan to conquer Dongying, so he naturally did not dare to slack off.
If the Great Song Dynasty can conquer Dongying, he will no longer need to be afraid.
King Guryeo thought for a while, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the supreme ruler of Dongying is the emperor, but although the emperor's status is supreme, he does not interfere in military affairs, and all military affairs are controlled by the shogunate. ”
"General Sekihaku is the head of the shogunate, and this invasion of my Guli was planned by this person. ”
King Koryeo's eyes flashed with a hint of hatred, but he quickly reined in, and continued: "Locally, Dongying implements the vassal system, and the daimyo of each vassal state becomes the local lord and has absolute power. ”
"The daimyo recruited samurai to work for themselves, and they went their own way and didn't listen to orders, but since General Sekihaku came out, the current Toei has barely achieved the unification of government orders. ”
......
Zhao Lin got some basic information about Dongying from King Gulyeo's mouth.
It can be said that the whole of Toei today is made up of large and small daimyos.
These daimyo are of varying strengths and weaknesses.
Many have tens of thousands of troops.
But the weak, even only a few hundred troops.
All the daimyo combined, I am afraid that there are only about 300,000 troops, and as a result, 200,000 have been built in Guryeo.
Zhao Lin shook his head, and then his eyes froze slightly, and asked, "Then King Li, do you know that there is a great grandmaster in this Dongying?"
"This, Xiao Wang doesn't know. ”
To Zhao Lin's slight disappointment, King Guryeo didn't know the situation.
However, Zhao Lin didn't think so.
The combined population of the whole country is less than one-tenth of that of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's good to have a great grandmaster.
Specifically, we have to wait for the results from Cao Zhengchun's side.
After the banquet, Zhao Lin returned to the Daqing Palace.
"Go to the Academy of Sciences and call Liu Ji. ”
Zhao Lin had just sat down and watched a few excerpts, then he raised his head to look at the eunuch next to him and spoke.
"Yes. ”
The eunuch withdrew.
After a while, a figure hurriedly entered the main hall, it was Liu Ji.
At this time, Liu Ji looked a little disgraced, obviously when he was developing something, he was suddenly interrupted and was called into the palace by Zhao Lin.
"Minister Liu Ji, see Your Majesty. ”
Liu Ji didn't care about his untidy appearance, so he immediately saluted Zhao Lin.
"Ai Qing is flat. ”
Zhao Lin's expression was flat and he waved his hand.
"Liu Shilang, how did I do the things I told you?"
Zhao Lin sat on the throne of the dragon chair and looked at Liu Ji condescendingly, his eyes condensed slightly.
When Liu Ji heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, "Your Majesty, under the guidance of Your Majesty, after many days of painstaking research, the minister finally built a steam locomotive. ”
"At present, the locomotive built by the minister can already run on flat ground. ”
"However, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and if you want to drive on the road, there is still a slight lack of speed, start, and stop. ”
In Liu Ji's opinion, he had already built this steam locomotive.
However, there are still many problems in order to really release it and drive on official roads.
What's the use of a stuff if it's not as fast as a traditional horse-drawn carriage?
This is also the reason why Liu Ji has not shown his invention achievements for a long time.
When Zhao Lin heard this, he immediately fell into a deep groan.
"If you lay rails on the ground and let the locomotive travel on the rails, can you increase the speed a lot?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Lin touched his chin and spoke.
"Driving on the railroad tracks?"
Liu Ji seemed to have heard something incredible.
"Not bad. ”
Zhao Lin nodded, "Lay railroad tracks on the ground for steam locomotives." ”
"In this way, not only can the speed of the steam locomotive be increased, but it will not destroy the road surface and occupy the official road. ”
What Zhao Lin said was exactly the principle of the train in his memory.
"Wonderful!"
When Liu Ji heard Zhao Lin's words, his eyes lit up instantly, and he felt like he was suddenly open.
Lay the rails!
And it is a separate track for the locomotive!
Why didn't he think of it?!
