Chapter 310: What kind of car is Your Majesty driving?
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of brilliance.
In the body, the blood that had gradually cooled down slowly due to old age seemed to be boiling again.
Just like when he had just entered Yingtiancheng and called himself King Wu, but when he faced the squeeze of Jiangdong and Jiangxi, he was obviously in crisis, but he never admitted defeat and had high morale.
The shouts of the courtiers that filled Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, he turned a deaf ear, and stared at the eldest grandson in front of him: "How should this thing be driven?"
Zhu Yunxi pointed to the lever that Zhang Ergong wanted to pull at the beginning: "Grandpa, just pull this lever out."
Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands, grabbed the lever and pulled hard.
At the end of the lever, there was a muffled sound inside the steam engine.
Although, there was a squeaky sound under the car, and the whole car shook for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's body was also unstable, and he subconsciously opened his hands and half-squatted down to maintain balance.
But Zhu Yunxi, who was at the front, changed his face slightly, hurriedly grabbed the crossbar in front of him with both hands, and forcefully adjusted the front of the car to the direction outside Zhengyang Gate.
"! Forgot to hang on neutral!"
Zhu Yunxi scolded in a low voice and looked at the other low vertical rod placed in the second groove of the four parallel concave and convex grooves under the crossbar. Both hands are also tightly grasping the crossbar and dare not relax, without assistance, the direction can only be adjusted by force.
Still inside the Zhengyang Gate, Zhu Yunxi didn't dare to relax, and concentrated on correcting the direction of the steam car.
And in the frightened eyes of the surrounding officials.
But when he saw the carriage that was still weighing more than 5,000 catties, he suddenly trembled.
After the Emperor pulled the lever.
The whole carriage rushed out uncontrollably, and Taisun gritted his teeth and turned the direction in front of the carriage with a tense face.
Then, the whole car rushed out of Zhengyang Gate like a big mouse.
Only a cloud of white mist and a cloud of dust were left in place.
"Escort!"
"Hurry up and escort!"
I don't know who it is, so I suddenly shouted behind the Zhengyang Gate.
Although, there were several old men who rushed in front of the commander of the forbidden army who left the palace with him.
Although the old man is powerless on weekdays, he grabbed the armor of the commander of the forbidden army at this time, but it seemed to have the momentum of pulling out Mount Tai, and a wave of shaking was about to shake the poor man who did not dare to act excessively for fear of breaking up the commander of the forbidden army of this old man.
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @
In front of the entire Zhengyang Gate, because of such a surprise attack by His Majesty the Emperor, there was a mess.
……
Wind.
It's the shape of the wind.
On the pipeline outside Zhengyang Gate, Zhu Yuanzhang held the stones on the car with one hand on his waist and the other, and looked ahead with his head held high.
He could see clearly that the eldest grandson had placed the vertical pole in front of him into the rightmost groove, and then his robe fluttered in the wind, even though it was the height of summer, but it made him feel cool.
There is a feeling of jolting under your feet from time to time, but it is continuous but not as violent as the carriage, it is very soothing, and it makes people feel a little mentally prepared.
It's a very delicate feeling.
The car under his feet is not as fast as galloping on horseback, but it is faster than an ordinary carriage.
Most importantly......
Zhu Yuanzhang silently looked back at the steam engine with a continuous roar and a column of smoke.
Without a trace of human and animal power, it can be automated.
And 5,000 catties of stone are under his palm.
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze became deeper and more distant, and finally looked back at Zhu Yunxi, who was still driving the car in front.
All of this was brought by his eldest grandson.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa?"
"Grandpa!"
Zhu Yunxi looked back at the old man, called again and again, and frowned.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Zhu Yunxi moved the car: "Grandpa, you have to add coal to the stove."
Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned black when he heard this, and the bastard boy actually sent himself.
With a cold snort, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward and kicked Zhu Yunxi: "Get out of the way, let's drive, you kid go and add coal by yourself."
Zhu Yunxi secretly rolled his eyes helplessly, and said with some worry, "Grandpa, can you drive this thing?"
Smack.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and slapped him, blew his beard and glared, "What can't be opened, can't we teach us?"
Helpless.
Who called someone the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
Or the kind of founding emperor.
Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to give up his position and motioned for the old man to grab both ends of the crossbar.
"This crossbar is the direction of manipulation, and it will go in which way it is pushed, but you have to pay attention to the amplitude. In the future, if it is free, my grandson wants to take Zhang Ergong to improve this crossbar to make it lighter."
"This crossbar, my grandson calls it a gear, the left one is neutral, and the car can stop when you enter here, and the right one is the fastest."
Zhu Yuanzhang was holding the crossbar in his hand at this time, like a child with a toy, looking at it dazzlingly, and nodding from time to time.
Later, under Zhu Yunxi's gaze, he manipulated it for a period of time, which made Zhu Yunxi feel at ease. ….
"Then grandpa, you have to slow down, the lives of our grandfather and grandson are in your hands."
Zhu Yunxi arched his hand, and did not forget to say a word of advice before going to shovel coal.
When it was over, he pushed the gear shaft to the lowest gear, and then rushed to the back to shovel coal.
Zhu Yuanzhang pouted: "Stinky boy, chatter, a lot of chatter."
After finishing the chatter, his eyes looked at the vertical pole that was pushed to the lowest gear by Zhu Yunxi, and he couldn't help but let out a dissatisfied cold snort again.
Kaka twice.
The gear was pushed to the highest gear by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yunxi, who had already opened the combustion chamber of the steam engine and shoveled coal inside, held a shovel in his hand, his body swayed, and then he looked back at the vertical pole that was pushed to the highest gear by the old man, helpless and helpless, he could only smile bitterly.
After adding enough coal in the combustion chamber, Zhu Yunxi opened a hole in the water chamber and poured a bucket of water prepared for the car.
In an instant, the speed of the car slowed down.
"Boy, what's going on?"
As soon as the speed of the car slowed down, Zhu Yunxi listened
The old man in front shouted.
Hurriedly closed the opening of the water room, Zhu Yunxi wiped his hands indiscriminately, and hurried back to the old man.
Zhu Yunxi was worried: "Grandpa, if you don't take your own army and leave Beijing alone, I'm afraid that the ministers of the court will come to advise later."
The steam engine, with the addition of coal and water, once again slowly burst out with strong power.
It's getting faster again.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it and said indifferently: "My emperor's grandson is the courage to conquer and break the city, when will we be alone?"
At this time, a group of green forest heroes will block the road and rob, see if you will say that.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head: "I don't agree with reason, I am afraid that I will be impeached when I turn around and talk about it."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and pulled the crossbar with both hands.
Before Zhu Yunxi could react, the car carrying thousands of pounds of heavy objects was very smooth and went around a curve on the official road.
Zhu Yunxi thought about it and glanced around, only to find that the old man had taken him to the eastern foot of Shenlie Mountain.
Before he could persuade the old man to rest for a while, a team with banners on the side of the official road in the distance let him go to the side of the road.
"That's ......"
"That's Your Majesty and the Great Grandson!"
"How did these two show up here?"
A family of nobles who had just returned to Beijing stood on the side of the road with amazement.
It is not common for the emperor and his grandson to go out of Beijing alone.
"What kind of car is Your Majesty driving?"
"You don't even need cows and horses to run?"
There is no steam locomotive pulled by cattle and horses, which is naturally a rare thing in today's Ming Dynasty.
Before this noble could be puzzled and try to figure out the reason for the matter, Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken the initiative to put the gear on the lowest gear, and the speed of the steam locomotive slowly decreased.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness."
The Xungui family who returned to Beijing knelt on the side of the road and chanted.
Zhu Yuanzhang drove slowly to the side of the other party's group, and the car never stopped, but said, "Tell the officials and forbidden troops of the DPRK and China who are following behind, I have nothing to do."
Before these people could receive the order, the steam locomotive driven by Zhu Yuanzhang had already continued to move forward. ….
"The Ministers receive the command."
Looking at the emperor and grandson who drove away, the Xungui here looked dazed, but he didn't dare to resist the order, so he had to continue to wait on the side of the road, waiting for the officials of the court and the forbidden army behind him to come over.
……
"You kid take over."
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang in the car waved his hand a little boringly and gave up the driving position.
Then he added: "This crossbar is laborious, and you have to walk all the way to stand all the way, and you may be able to add a seat in the back."
After Zhu Yunxi took over the car, he kept a low speed and waited for the forbidden army to come over, and nodded, "This is already in the plan for Zhang Ergong's later improvements."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "There is another place, this car cannot be said to be only used when the weather is fine, and a carriage or cover must be added to the front and back. Otherwise, if it rains and snows heavily, won't people and goods be ruined?"
Speaking of these, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of thoughts for a while.
"It also tells whether it is carrying people or pulling goods. Naturally, the manning should be more refined, and Grandpa saw that the car was not very bumpy on the road, which was quite magical, and I wondered if it could be more comfortable."
"If it's pulling goods, it's a little stronger, Yingtian is surrounded by official roads, and the traffic is flat, but what if it's the south or the nine sides?"
"Also, can this car be used for the army to charge? It's like a martial car, but it's even faster, hundreds or thousands of cars, scuttling through the enemy with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking diverged from civilian to military, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and his eyes lit up.
Zhu Yunxi was also surprised.
Isn't this a tank?
Most of the products of this world started with war, the application of technology in the military
and iteration, is the fastest.
Something that happens in an instant.
Even Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, driving hundreds of steel steam cars, galloping on the barren grassland outside the nine-sided plug.
What a grand spectacle it must have been.
However, the reality still has to be down-to-earth step by step.
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently: "Today's steam engine is not enough to support the strength of the battlefield charge, but Sun Er is confident that the Ming Dynasty will definitely not use the flesh and blood of the soldiers to cut through the enemy's military formation in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded, he knew this truth very well.
"Grandpa, my greatest wish in this life is to see Da Ming grow up with you."
"Grandpa is not in a hurry, grandpa still has time, and he can watch you grow into towering trees."
Zhu Yunxi was a little touched in his heart because of the old man's words.
Looking up at the official road ahead, I don't know when, the grandfather and grandson have already driven to the Yangtze River.
Zhu Yunxi silently pushed the gear to neutral, and there was a sound of a steam engine behind him striking on the bearing gear.
He turned to the steam engine again, and after two strokes of the steam engine, the chimney on top of the steam engine whined outward, spewing white vapor continuously.
Soon, a huge white cloud, accompanied by the breeze, slowly rose and climbed towards the blue sky.
At last.
Zhu Yunxi supported the ground with his hands at this time, hanging on the edge of the frame, his legs naturally bouncing back and forth slightly. ….
And he also leaned back and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was standing behind him.
"Grandpa, Daming will become more and more prosperous and peaceful."
Zhu Yuanzhang crossed his hands on his waist, facing the Central Plains River, which had been surging for thousands of years, puffed up his chest, and his face was full of pride written in the history of Zhaozhao.
"So far, see the great river that the ancients saw."
"I have no regrets in my life."
In the last sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yunxi with sparkling eyes.
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "Grandpa, our people in the Ming Dynasty haven't been able to eat yet."
Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled and asked rhetorically: "Grandpa, Daming and you."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his palm, supported Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, supported his knee with one hand, and slowly bent over, hanging on the edge of the frame like Zhu Yunxi.
"Lately, Grandpa has been waking up in the middle of the night."
Zhu Yunxi tilted his head, and when he looked at it from the side, there were already a few mottled marks of time on the old man's face.
The pale gray hair has made the founding king of the Ming Dynasty, the remodeler of Chinese orthodoxy, quietly become an old man.
There is no trace of time.
Just because there are traces everywhere in the world.
Zhu Yunxi acted as a good observer at this time, quietly accompanying the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly: "Every time I wake up at night, my grandfather can always see the people and things of many years ago, see the miserable scenes of life in the world, and hear the wailing voice of Li Min.
After tossing and turning, I thought of my old friends, and now most of them have been reincarnated as people, for my people. In the past, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, etc., now they must also enjoy my great prosperity.
As a result, Grandpa became more and more unable to fall asleep, and it was difficult to sleep."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was a little excited, and a little sad.
When he turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, he was already smiling, reaching out to pat Zhu Yunxi's shoulder and pat his cheek.
"So, grandpa is afraid every day, afraid that those people will come back, afraid that the world will return to that time, and the people will fall into natural and man-made disasters again.
Because I was afraid, my grandfather had killed a lot of people over the years. There are enemies of our family, as well as relatives and friends of our family, grandpa killed Huaiyou's heroes, killed the world's corrupt Confucians, and killed corrupt officials. In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, my grandfather ordered to gather troops to march north eleven times, but after killing the former Yuan, it also made the grassland outside the Saiwai flow of blood."
Zhu Yunxi sank
The voice echoed: "Grandpa is my Ming Dynasty's artifact, and it is also the blessing of the world."
"Who can call it an artifact in ancient and modern times?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and shook his head, and then his expression sank: "In the future, you have to remember. In this world, as long as it violates the foundation of the society, anyone can be killed. There is only one way, be lenient to the people, even if the world is in turmoil, as long as you can let the people have a bite to eat, no one can shake your position, and my family will never change in the world."
When Zhu Yuanzhang just finished saying these last words, there was already a wave of horseshoe on the official road behind.
Countless officials were riding on horseback or in sedan chairs, shouting at this side in a mess.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty's actions today are inappropriate for the country."
"Your Majesty also asks for the Holy Communion in the future." ….
「……」
Zhu Yuanzhang just glanced sideways, then looked at Zhu Yunxi in front of him, and patted the top of Zhu Yunxi's head with his palm: "Grandpa's words, have you remembered them all?"
Zhu Yunxi pursed her lips and nodded heavily.
"That's good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion, his palm was already buckled on Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, and his body moved slightly, and he was already standing on the official road with his feet.
And it just so happened that this scene was seen by Zhan Hui and other court officials who were in a hurry and finally came over with the forbidden officers and soldiers.
Although I didn't hear what the emperor and the grandson said.
But just seeing this scene is enough to make hundreds of officials have countless reveries.
Zhu Yunxi sat on the frame and turned his head to look at these officials who rushed over.
Probably, in grandpa's heart, as long as the society is uncertain, these people can also be abandoned, just like a strong man with a broken arm and Guan Gong scraping his bones.
Dongdong.
Zhu Yunxi propped his hands on the frame, his body exerted force forward, and his feet stood firmly on the official road.
At this time, the officials were already nervously surrounding the grandfather and grandson.
It's just that they don't wait for them to open their mouths to advise the emperor, and they must not be easily alone in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already waved his hand, his face was slightly red, and his face was full of joy.
"Today, I have seen something that has never been seen in the ages, which is the luck of my great Ming and the instrument of the society."
"Such merit must not be rewarded by those who have merit."
Zhu Yunxi stood beside the old man with a smile, and said loudly at the right time: "Zhang Ergong and the household department, the person who will be the prisoner, come forward."
Shredded pork and rice noodles
