Chapter 454: Bai Gongzi's Steam Train
It didn't take long for my advantage to be beaten all over my head without getting dirty, and I fled to the north in embarrassment.
The 50,000 thieves were nothing, and they didn't even touch a single hair of Wang Chengen, so they were beaten to the ground, and there was no way but to escape.
It's a pity that the thieves are too big, and although Wang Chengen can win with fewer strikes, he can't leave the muddy behind, so he can only watch the non-muddy team escape.
The county seat of Hejin has been recaptured.
However, what was captured was a corpse-strewn ruin.
Ten percent of the people in the city were killed, three or four percent were killed, two percent were coerced into the thief army, and the remaining good people were less than half of the total population.
And these people who survived, their belongings were also looted, and they sat in the burned city with their eyes blank, looking at the black smoke houses around them, and they couldn't even shed tears.
Wang Chengen walked through the streets and alleys of the city with a black face, until he walked into the county yamen and sat on the chair of the county magistrate, and then he let out a long sigh: "That's the case again...... What is the difference between this and the city that Jiannu conquered? ”
Shi Jian couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is it the same for Jiannu to attack the city?" ”
"Yes!" Wang Chengen said: "A few months ago, I went to the capital city to King Qin, and when I passed through the villages and towns that were attacked by Jiannu, I saw the same general appearance. Every time Jiannu broke a city, he would slaughter it for three days, kill corpses all over the land, and rob all the property. These rogues are no different from the wild men of other races. ”
Shi Jian: "......"
Wang Chengen sighed: "It is difficult for the people of Hejin County to survive, and General Ben can only write a letter to the imperial court for them, asking the above to send some money and grain down to relieve the people here." ”
When Li Daoxuan heard this, his embroidered eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle together, and he didn't need to think that this letter was written in vain, and it was impossible for the imperial court to give the people of Hejin a copper plate relief.
He lowered his voice and said in Shi Jian's ear: "Tell him that our Gaojia Village will send grain to save him, and let him hand over the Longmen Gudu to us for use." ”
Shi Jian heard the small voice in his ears, his spirit perked up, with Tianzun's decree, it would be easier to do things, he hugged his fists: "General Wang, we still have some grain in Chengcheng County, and we can transport it by ship from the wharf in Heyang County to Longmen Gudu to help the people here tide over the difficulties." ”
When Wang Chengen heard this, his spirits perked up, but he immediately showed a worried look again: "You have already lent this general a large amount of food, if you want to help the people in Hejin County, I am afraid it will be quite difficult, right?" ”
Shi Jian: "There must be difficulties, but we are not afraid of difficulties, save people's lives, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter, where we make the upper force, then we will do our best." ”
Wang Chengen nodded: "That's good!" I will leave it to you. ”
Shi Jian hugged his fists: "My subordinates have the courage to ask to sit in Longmen Gudu and personally supervise the transportation of grain and grass." ”
Wang Chengen is not a civilian official, and he has little interest in interfering in this kind of people's livelihood-related matters, and when he heard Shi Jian's request, he secretly thought in his heart: This relational household who was placed by Liang Shixian in our army for melee exploits, after experiencing a big war himself, was probably a little afraid of death, and did not dare to go to the front line anymore, and wanted to drag it behind to engage in logistics.
Well, it's not impossible! If the related household dies, I will be embarrassed to borrow food from Liang Shixian in the future, let him drag him behind to engage in logistics, and give him a little bit of profit from the battle achievements I fought in front of him, so as to help him be promoted in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Chengen didn't talk nonsense, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's arrange it like this, I will send a hundred guards to garrison Longmen Gudu with you to ensure the safety of the grain transportation line." ”
Shi Jian was overjoyed: "Thank you, General." ”
He hugged his fists, pulled the white cat out of the meeting hall, and the two of them went to a place where there was no one behind the tent, Shi Jian said: "Wang Xiaohua, I want to stay in Longmen Gudu for the time being, and I will follow after the refugees here are relieved, and you continue to follow Wang Chengen." ”

The white cat smiled: "Okay, I'll leave it to me in front." ”
Shi Jian leaned his shoulder on the shoulder of the white cat, and the rag doll Tianzun sitting on his shoulder armor moved, jumped on the white cat's shoulder armor with a bang, and sat down with a smile.
The white cat was excited in his heart: Tianzun bless me to come.
Shi Jian made a big salute to the rag doll, then turned around and walked out, beckoning the hundred guards sent to him by Wang Chengen, and headed towards Longmen Gudu.
The white cat returned to the chamber and stood beside Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen's eyelids raised, glanced at the white cat, and said curiously, "Shi Jian gave you his doll?" ”
The white cat smiled: "Yes! This is his talisman that he gave me to keep me safe when I go into battle. ”
Wang Chengen shook his head, the relationship is wonderful, and he actually has to rely on a rag doll to comfort himself, what a soft egg soldier. Which of the generals under my command who are fighting to the death on the battlefield will be blessed by this kind of thing? Tut! ——
At the same time, Gaojia Village, No. 2 Railway Station.
Bai Gongzi's most important invention in his life, the steam train, is finally about to start trial operation.
The long railroad track was paved all the way from Gaojia Village to the Valley of the Displaced People, which was the same distance as the first railway laid by Li Daoxuan, six miles.
This distance is not close to the ancients, and in order to lay this six-mile-long railroad track, Bai Gongzi has spent endless effort.
Because it was of an "experimental" nature, Thirty-Two did not support him at any cost, did not transfer a large amount of money and grain from the village treasury, and did not hire a large number of migrant workers.
It's just that some "research funds" have been allocated according to the "moderation" of Tianzun's previous stipulation that "there should be appropriate support for scientific researchers".
Bai Gongzi took this poor "research fund", hired three blacksmiths and a hundred migrant workers, and opened up a new road next to the electric train track erected by Tianzun, supplemented by sleepers and rails, and set up a new line.
It took half a year to repair these six-mile railroad tracks.
Of course, the road was relatively easy, but the real difficulty was the huge iron car that was placed on the tracks.
In order to build this thing, hundreds of thousands of catties were used for iron alone.
As for the technology used in this locomotive, it is a combination of all the physical comprehension of Gaojiacun School, and there are countless technologies used in it, such as steam engines, gears, axles, levers, ......
Bai Gongzi was young, and his hair was almost bald in order to make this locomotive, and now, it was finally time to verify whether it was feasible.
Nervous!
It's really super nervous!
There were countless people who came to watch the experiment, and even Liang Shixian, the commander of Chengcheng County, and Feng Jun, the commander of Heyang County, were invited to come and see the excitement. The white kite also rushed back from the Qiachuan Pier to see his son's super invention.
Madame Bai paid a large group of girls and was ready to cheer.
