Everyone looked for the voice, and the person who spoke was Ding Hongguang!

Zhao Jun couldn't help but show an expression that was really like this.

Ding Hongguang, as the current number one person in the military in Yunzhou County, if he can't recognize the role of this train, Zhao Jun will doubt his handsome level.

As the old saying goes, soldiers are fast and fast!

For an army, mobility is always an important indicator of its strength.

Armies with mobility are always at an advantage over armies that are not.

Just like cavalry and infantry, at the same level of equipment, in the face of cavalry with high mobility, the infantry has no advantage at all, and can only be beaten.

The cavalry can fight and run, like a gust of wind, can come and go freely, and has a considerable margin for error, but the infantry can't, and once they make a mistake, they have no regret medicine to eat.

The benefits that trains can bring to the army are obvious, first of all, where the rails are laid, the army can reach the battlefield at a very fast speed.

For the same journey, if they are still halfway there, you have already arrived at the battlefield, then you must have a time advantage at this time, you can build various fortifications, and even ambush the other party, which has a preemptiveness.

And all wars are fought in logistics, and trains can send all kinds of material resources to the front line at a very fast speed, and the other side can only spend manpower and material resources to push it by hand, so it is obvious that the side can get more support.

At least for now, the entry into service of the train is the greatest benefit for the army.

Everyone made way of a passage for Ding Hongguang to come out, Ding Hongguang gave a military salute to Zhao Jun and asked, "Lord Wang, there is no basis for saliva, can he let him move this thing to show us now?" ”

Zhao Jun naturally nodded happily, then turned around and ordered,

Not to mention, the craftsmen of the Tiangong Academy began to tinker, and under the gaze of everyone, the locomotive, which looked like a dead thing just now, suddenly began to emit steam as if it had come to life.

Whining!!!

The loud whistle suddenly sounded, startling everyone!

A craftsman poked his head out from the direction of the cab and asked Zhao Jun for instructions: "Lord Wang, everything is ready, can you start?" ”

Listening to the familiar whistle, the corners of Zhao Jun's mouth raised a smile, and when he ordered loudly: "Permission to go!" ”

Receiving permission, the craftsman retracted himself and shouted into the car:

"The prince has a life, he is allowed to leave!

The prince has a life, and he is allowed to start! ”

"Add coal!"

"Add water!"

In the boiler room, everyone began to add coal and water to it.

As the steam increases, more and more, the power is finally transmitted through the conduction device.

With the sound of quarry, the wheels of the train moved in coordination with the transmission of the connecting rods.

Praise and praise!

The whistle sounded again, sharper and sharper, but the locomotive was already slowly moving.

It's slow at first, but it gets faster and faster as it moves! Faster and faster!

Until finally, the speed equivalent to that of a normal adult began to gallop on the pre-laid rails of the test site!

Because there were no things such as pulling carriages, the speed of the locomotive was quite fast, and looking at the iron lump that was still motionless there just now, it was now scurrying around in the experimental field as if it had come to life, and many high-ranking officials of Yunzhou County all opened their mouths wide, revealing unbelievable looks.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Jun, Ding Hongguang, Fan Zheng and other people who understood what this meant all showed excited looks.

Subsequently, Zhao Jun took Baiguan into the carriage to experience the feeling of taking a train, and they became the first guests to take the train.

After seeing the actual locomotive, Zhao Jun took everyone back to Yunwang's Mansion.

Yunwang Mansion, inside the council chamber.

Zhao Jun said to everyone: "The king named him the train, and everyone has experienced the role, so the king will not repeat it too much."

But I don't know if you have noticed a problem, that is, trains can only run on the tracks. ”

After being reminded, everyone suddenly remembered that the train had indeed been running on the tracks just now, and had never derailed for half a step.

I heard Zhao Jun then say: "If the train wants to be put into practice, it is imperative to lay rails in Yunzhou County.

Benwang has planned two routes, you can take a look. ”

Zhao Duan said, waved his hand, Wang Huaien immediately walked up with a map in his hand, and unfolded it in front of everyone Zhao Jun pointed to a red line that extended to the mutual market and said: "This one, starting from Yunzhou City, passing through the two cities of Yunzhong and Dingyang, and finally reaching the mutual market we set up on the Tatar steppe."

As long as this railway is laid, we will be able to move supplies to the market and return revenue at a faster rate.

There is no need to think about the current transportation once every half a month, which not only wastes manpower and material resources, but also causes great difficulties to financial statistics.

At the same time, today's Tatar steppe is not so stable to put it bluntly, those Tatars only temporarily succumbed to the armor of our Yunzhou army, if our Yunzhou army fell into weakness, these Tatars might immediately rebel.

And with such a railway, we will be able to transport the army to the front as quickly as possible, quickly extinguish the betrayal of the Tatars, and give us more control over the Tatar steppes! ”

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, everyone immediately nodded again and again, they understood everything that the prince said, although the Tatars are honest now, but they are not of my race, and their hearts must be different is still firmly remembered by everyone.

A wolf is a wolf after all, even if he is honest now, but he can't keep himself from showing his greedy minions all the time!

Yunzhou County has always been on guard against the Tatars, and if the construction of a railway can increase Yunzhou County's control over the Tatar steppe, then there is no doubt that this railway is extremely worthwhile!

Seeing that everyone recognized this route, Zhao Jun pointed to another route.

The route crosses the Yunling Mountains directly.

The officials watched the red line cross the Yunling Mountains and connect Nanli County, Woye County and Yoel County one by one, and immediately understood Zhao Jun's thoughts.

The three counties of Shenzhi are the grain and tax areas of Yunzhou County, and since there is a train that can deepen Yunzhou County's control over the local area, the railway must connect these three counties.

Even compared with the Tatar steppe, the importance of the three counties is even higher, and the importance of grain is always in the first place.

It was only when they looked at the notes on the map that the red line had finally stopped on the border of County of York, and the eyes of the officials began to flicker with a strange light.

It stands to reason that the railway doesn't need to rest here at all, but the prince wants to repair the railway here.

Could it be that the prince is already a little dissatisfied with the current territory of Yunzhou County?

Everyone looked at Zhao Jun with a little excitement in their eyes, but in the face of their eyes, Zhao Jun kept ignoring them, as if he hadn't seen them, making it impossible to guess his true thoughts.

What is not satisfied, Zhao Jun has never felt that the land owned by the Yunzhou Army is enough, but the time is not ripe, but if the time is ripe, Zhao Jun will not talk about morality with the poison!
