Chapter 84: The Name of King Yan

There are only more than 20,000 people who followed King Yan into the customs, half of which are soldiers who went out of the customs, and the other half are captured Mongolian important figures.

The rest of the people remained on the plains of Songnen.

The welcome ceremony in Zhaozhou does not need to be detailed.

After King Yan came to Zhaozhou, he had time to meet Lian Zining.

Lian Zining was even more excited at the moment.

This is what he has always dreamed of, and this is also the reason why he switched to Yanwang, Corporal Yanwang Lixian, but what Lian Zining wants to do is not to be rich and noble, but to change the production structure on the grassland, so as to achieve the role of turning razing into summer.

And if you want to do such a thing, it is most convenient to be under the command of King Yan.

For this day, Lian Zining didn't know how long he had been preparing.

Although it is said that Changchun Dusi is farther north than Daning and other places, the climate is colder. But it can't be compared with Mobei, but now the land where King Yan is located, some lands in Russia in later generations have been owned by King Yan.

As long as cultivation can be promoted here, it means that there is no problem in many places in Mobei.

This is the biggest success for Lian Zining.

He cared more about his own fame and wealth, and after he received the order, he confidently led hundreds of officials to the north.

After King Yan sent Lian Zining away, he secretly said in his heart: "I'm going to go to Beijing this time." ”

King Yan has a foothold on the grassland, and there are not a few materials needed. Even more than Yanwang needed to build Changchun Dusi, even if the waterway was opened, from the Liao River into the Songhua River, and the Rongsonghua River entered the Nen River against the current. You can sail all the way and it looks good.

But after all, the distance is very long, and it is difficult to say that there are no problems along the way.

These materials must come out of Liaodong. But Liaodong is He Xi's territory. You must go to Beijing and have an interview with He Xi.

------

If King Yan was very famous before, it was because King Yan was the son of Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and now many people regard King Yan as a general, although many generals privately feel that it is okay to let them go on such a war.

It's just a beating of the water dogs.

But the military is the most important thing, whether it beats the water dogs or not, victory is victory. To have a record is to be valued more than not to have a record.

Yan Wang also felt the annoyance of excitement.

The biggest trouble is the net from the center.

After the Yan Wang's military power was shaken, he received a letter from the King of Jin, and the letter from the King of Jin can be described as extremely naked, that is, he wants to make King Yan the head of the kings and stand out for the kings. even hinted that King Yan could compete for the position of the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

If it were someone else, maybe I was really dizzy.

But King Yan is very sober.

Regardless of whether Yan Wang had an idea or no idea about that position, he felt that this was not the best time. The prince will not die for a day, and King Yan will not dare to move for a day, even if he has an idea, he is just thinking about it in his heart. I don't dare to do anything else, I can't do it.

King Yan knows better what King Jin and other princes think.

Under the influence of the death of King Qin, even if the vassal kings in various places were not interested in the storage position, they were also thinking about a problem, that is, how to ensure his interests, and he could not end up in the fate of the King of Qin in the future.

In fact, the connection between the kings has long existed.

It can be said that they are all brothers, and the laws of their families stipulate that brothers cannot interact with each other. It's just that among the kings, there is actually no figure that everyone is convinced of. And now there is. It's none other than King Yan.

King Yan shook the world in the first war, and his reputation seemed to be on a par with the older generation of generals. While King Yan was happy, he also immediately felt the greasy in it.

King Yan knows very well that even among the veterans, Tang He, who seems to be the weakest, this kind of battle is also easy and freehand, and King Yan himself feels that he can only defeat Tang He, but he can only have a young body, more vigorous energy, and a body that can withstand more injuries.

King Yan felt that he might not be able to surpass Tang He within ten years, and as for a general like Xu Da Chang Yuchun, it would be a lifetime thing.

Clear-eyed people can actually see that the battle of King Yan, from the scale to the level of intensity, from the command art of both sides, cannot be compared with the battle between Xu Da and Wang Baobao. King Yan's reputation is about to rush to the Duke of Wei.

It's a killing.

The more this was the case, the more humble King Yan could only become, and he could find a way to reduce his influence, so he separated the men and horses who escorted Emperor Yuan's prisoners, and the people who escorted Emperor Yuan went directly to Nanjing. And King Yan is going to Beijing.

It's just that when King Yan came to the outside of Beijing, he was stunned.

What he saw was a large construction site.

It's not that King Yan has never seen a construction site, but such a huge construction site and so many people are the only ones in King Yan's life.

But he saw that there were railroad tracks on the ground, and there were two horse-drawn carriages on them, and the wheels were placed on the rails, and a cart of bricks and stones was transported along the railroad.

I can see that King Yan's eyes are big.

He never imagined that someone would use so much iron to build a railway, and he never imagined that the efficiency of using a railway would seem to have improved a lot.

Since the steam engine can only be used as an auxiliary power for hydraulics, every factory wants to have a stable power output, it has to build a three-story water tower and a connected steam engine boiler room, and wait for a large area of buildings, and finally can achieve the stable output of a motor in later generations.

But having something is always better than nothing.

For the railway, there is no waiting for steam locomotives. Many of the raw materials used to build the city of Beijing are produced from the Zunhua Industrial Zone, bricks, cement, and even limestone, sand, iron, stone, and coal are transported from the Zunhua area to the city of Beijing.

Although the new Beijing City is not far from Zunhua, the efficiency of transporting heavy objects is not high in this kind of road.

Originally, the people below were going to use cinder roads.

As mentioned earlier, cinder road is actually a very good road surface in this era. At least there will be no mud. When it rains, you won't let the wheels get stuck in the mud and delay big things. But He Xi finalized it, used rails, and designed horse-drawn carriages.

There's nothing wrong with that. The only problem is that more iron is used.

Because there is no need to use steam locomotives, and there is no need to use too good iron, the iron produced by the Zunhua Iron Works is enough now.

In this way, a truckload of raw materials from Zunhua Industrial Zone was transported to Beijing in a very convenient way, which greatly improved the efficiency of the Beijing City project.

In addition to this, there was the mass use of pulley sets, scaffolding.

In fact, pulleys are not a rare thing, and scaffolding is not a rare thing, which is reflected in many ancient paintings, and the ancients are not stupid at all. There are a lot of smart people. It's just that some of their knowledge is not summarized in place, and in terms of promotion, there is no such meaning.

He Xi, directly worked out the standard specifications of the pulley, and the standard specifications of the iron pipe, so that when the following is used, just directly build the scaffolding. Compared to the ancient scaffolding with bamboo and wooden planks, it is much better.

From this point alone, the level of construction sites in Beijing is close to that of rural self-built houses in later generations.

However, this change is subtle, some things have changed, and some things have not changed. For example, tamping.

Now He Xi has decided to speed up the construction of Beijing City. The foundation has reached the final acceptance. Now many projects have come to an end, so there are thousands of people shirtless, with turbans rolled on their heads, and three people pull a wooden pier in three directions, and the three people exert force at the same time, and the wooden pier suddenly flies up and is crumbled into the air. Then as soon as the three of them let go, the wooden mound slammed heavily on the ground, and so on, tamping the ground inch by inch.

Then use a stone to grind it over little by little to make sure the foundation is solid.

In this regard, nothing has changed. Thousands of years ago, when the Shang and Zhou dynasties used the construction method to lay a solid foundation, it was generally like this. In later generations, when the two bombs and one satellite experiment were tamped down, the same was generally the case. Although in the following decades, there have been earth-shaking changes.

But at this time, He Xi has not changed much about this process.

This is still the familiar appearance of King Yan. After all, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was a construction site for a long time, and King Yan was very familiar with such a scene.

It's just that such familiar scenes will become less and less common in the future.
