Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 339 Invite Zhao Wen to the Longevity Festival, the steam locomotive succeeds

"Is it going to thunder? Be careful what you say." Zhao Wen narrowed his eyes, and his body was filled with murderous aura.

Looking at the murderous Zhao Wen, Liu Changfu felt extremely bitter in his heart.

"It's not good to touch anyone, but you have to touch this one. Is this one you can touch? It's fine if you don't appease him well, but you still want to touch him? It's really a bear's heart and a leopard's guts." At this moment, Liu Changfu thought Wen Tiren scolded over and over again.

Liu Changfu said in a low voice: "Lord Chief Soldier, this is not a place to talk, let's talk in another place."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's talk inside." Zhao Wen pointed to the General Military Mansion, and then led Liu Changfu inside.

Not long after, Zhao Wen brought Liu Changfu to the study.

Zhao Wen looked at Liu Changfu who was sitting in front of him, and asked coldly, "What's going on with this matter? I heard what you said just now, that the imperial court is going to attack me?"

Liu Changfu sat in front of Zhao Wen, and the strong coercion made cold sweat flow from Liu Changfu's forehead.

Liu Changfu breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his mentality, and said, "This bastard Wen Tiren provoked this matter. I don't know exactly what's going on, and neither does my godfather.

When Wen Tiren was talking with the emperor, the emperor sent his godfather away, so I only know a rough idea about this matter. "

"It's okay, tell me everything you know, and I want to see what the court is going to do." Zhao Wen tapped on the desk with a gloomy expression on his face.

Liu Changfu said: "How to say about this matter, first, Wen Tiren, an old man, investigated your origin, and he said that you are a person of unknown origin.

According to his investigation, you suddenly appeared in Dushikou Shimaying, and the previous information is all blank.

This was finally refuted by the godfather. "

"After being refuted by his godfather, Wen Tiren posted another note, saying that you raised hundreds of thousands of troops, and I am afraid that you have the intention of treason." Liu Changfu stopped when he said this, and watched Zhao Wen's reaction quietly.

Zhao Wen's face was calm and he didn't see any reaction.

"and then?"

"Then the godfather was paid by the emperor. In the end, the emperor and Wen Tiren discussed in the imperial study. As for what was discussed, the godfather didn't know." Liu Changfu said.

"But according to godfather's estimate, maybe the imperial court is going to attack you."

Hearing this, Zhao Wen burst out laughing, "Haha, do something to me? It's really whimsical. Either I look down on the court, or the current court, does it have the strength to turn against me?

Don't forget, I suppressed and beat both the Jiannu and the rogues, let alone the imperial court? "

"That's what I said, but this old guy Wen Tiren has a full stomach, who knows what tricks he will use." Liu Changfu persuaded.

Zhao Wen narrowed his eyes, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "I want to see what this Wen Tiren can do to me."

……

A few days later, another imperial decree came to Zhao Wen.

The person who came to proclaim the decree this time was an eunuch whom Zhao Wen didn't know.

After sending away the Xuanzhi eunuch, Zhao Wen held the imperial edict with a playful look on his face.

The content of the imperial decree is that the Longevity Day will be two months later, and Zhao Wen, as the number one hero of the dynasty, will naturally be rewarded.

I haven't been able to properly reward Zhao Wen before, so this time, I will take advantage of the Longevity Day to reward Zhao Wen well.

"My lord, this is very likely to be the Hongmen Banquet. What nonsense is the Longevity Festival? This is clearly the Hongmen Banquet." Standing behind Zhao Wen, Zhao Daniu pointed at the imperial decree in Zhao Wen's hand and cursed angrily.

Zhao Wen put away the imperial decree and said jokingly: "Of course I know that the imperial court has bad intentions. This Longevity Festival is a grand banquet for others, but it is nothing to me."

"Your Excellency, you mean to go?" Song Hu also looked at Zhao Wen with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Wen said with a smile on his face: "Go, why not go? After two months, I must go.

I'd like to see what tricks the imperial court is going to play on me, and what methods they can come up with. "

The reason why Zhao Wen went was not because he was afraid of Chongzhen. After all, the current imperial court is not a problem for Zhao Wen.

As long as Zhao Wen is willing, he can raise troops to take down the entire Ming Dynasty at any time.

It's just that Zhao Wen is unwilling to raise troops now. After all, Zhao Wen's chess has just been set up now, and the best time to raise troops has not yet come.

In addition, the new-style students trained by Zhao Wen have not yet come out. If he takes over the court at this time, there will be simply not enough people in his hands.

If he takes over the entire Ming Dynasty at this time, it is inevitable that these scholar-bureaucrats will be used.

But for these people, Zhao Wen really didn't want to use them.These people are good at fighting for power and profit, but if they do practical things, then I'm sorry, they won't do it at all.

And Zhao Wen wants to completely break the rule that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, but breaking this rule requires a lot of manpower, and Zhao Wen has not enough people available in his hands now, so Zhao Wen is not willing to raise troops at this time.

Even so, Zhao Wen is not something that everyone can handle. If they don't show the court some strength, they really think that Zhao Wen is weak and can be bullied.

Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu who was behind him, and said, "Find me Liu Wenzhong, I have important matters for him."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he headed towards the inside of the General Military Mansion.

A moment later, Liu Wenzhong appeared in Zhao Wen's study.

Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong and said, "I'll give you one thing. From now on, recruit another [-] soldiers for me."

After so many years of accumulation, there are already a large number of people in Zhao Wen's territory.

With so many people, they can make up an army of 30 to [-].

In addition to these things, Zhao Wen also accumulated a large amount of food and grass.

"My lord, why is there another conscription all of a sudden? But is it related to today's imperial decree?" Liu Wenzhong asked suspiciously.

Zhao Wen nodded and said, "That's right, it's related to today's imperial decree.

Some people in the imperial court thought I was a soft persimmon and wanted to pinch me, but I wanted to see if it was some people's hands that were hard, or my body, Zhao Wen. "

When Liu Wenzhong heard this, he became excited instantly.

The intention of Zhao Wen's words was very obvious. From these words alone, Liu Wenzhong heard many unusual things.

"By the way, from today onwards, the infiltration into Shaanxi, Shanxi, Beizhili and other places will also be accelerated for me, and that incident will not be far away." Zhao Wen waved his hand, and the meaning revealed in his tone was extremely clear.

Liu Wenzhong held back the excitement in his heart, cupped his fists at Zhao Wen, and then walked outside.

When Liu Wenzhong went out for a short time, Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing came hand in hand.

Sitting in the study, Zhao Wen looked at the two people who suddenly appeared, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why did you two busy people come to me suddenly?"

Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing looked at each other with excited expressions on their faces.

Sun Yuanhua cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and said, "When your lord came back, we originally wanted to come to see you, but the construction of the steam locomotive over there has entered the final stage, and we can't leave for a while, so we now I just came to pay my respects to my lord, and I hope that my lord will make amends."

Song Yingxing also bowed his hands to Zhao Wengong and made a confession.

Zhao Wen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Please hurry up, the two are my right-hand men, how could I blame the two?

All right, sit down.You two are here at this time, do you have something to tell me?Looking at the smiles on your faces, has the steam locomotive made substantial progress? "

Sun Yuanhua laughed loudly, "You really can't hide anything from your lord, it's true that the steam engine has made substantial progress.

Since my lord left, Brother Song and I have been in the workshop. From the beginning to the present, we have tried no less than a hundred times and failed nearly a hundred times.

After so many trials and failures, we have finally built a steam engine of the kind your grown-ups need. "

Zhao Wen's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from his chair, "Is what you said true? Did you really manufacture the steam engine I mentioned?"

Sun Yuanhua stroked his beard with a smile, his face was full of complacency.

Song Yingxing smiled and said, "My lord, yes, we have indeed manufactured the steam locomotive that your lord said.

According to our tests, the fastest steam engine we have produced can run nearly 180 miles per hour, basically one hundred and fifty or sixty miles. "

Listening to Song Yingxing's explanation, Zhao Wen began to think about it.

One hour is 160 miles, and that hour is [-] miles, that is to say, the speed is [-] kilometers per hour.

This speed may not be a big deal in later generations, even not as fast as some battery cars, and may not be as fast as the steam locomotives of the [-]th and [-]th centuries, but in this era, especially in Daming, it is simply a miracle.

"When did you test it? How many steam locomotives have been produced today?" Zhao Wenxing asked excitedly.

"We just tested it a few days ago. We have been testing the performance of the steam locomotive these days. As for the steam locomotive, we have produced a total of about three." Sun Yuanhua laughed.

"Three sets? So many? I really can't see it. Your abilities are really not small. If that's the case, then I won't talk too much. Let's go and have a look as soon as possible." After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he hurriedly got out of the chair He stood up and strode outside.

Seeing this, Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing stood up quickly and followed Zhao Wen closely.

Not long after, Zhao Wen came to the ironworks.

Today's iron smelting plants are full of large iron smelting furnaces redesigned by Zhao Wen. Although these iron smelting furnaces cannot be compared with those of later generations, they are much better than those of this era.

Zhao Wen looked at these iron-smelting furnaces emitting black smoke, his face was full of relief.

No matter when, as long as you have steel in your hands, you will have the confidence to speak.

Even in later generations, steel production is still an important indicator to measure a country.

"My lord, the new steam engine we manufactured is now on the test site, please go to the test site to watch." Sun Yuanhua looked at Zhao Wen who was standing at the door of the new steam engine workshop, and said.

Zhao Wen nodded, and then followed Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing towards the test site.

When Zhao Wen came to the test site, he found that the current test site was very different from the previous test site.

Today's test site is much larger than the previous test site. There are high walls around the test site, and soldiers with weapons are constantly patrolling around these walls.

"Our steam locomotive is definitely something that can change history. In order to keep it secret, I asked Mr. Liu to bring some soldiers over."

Sun Yuanhua pointed to the high walls and soldiers patrolling non-stop, and said to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen couldn't help but nodded, and said appreciatively, "That's right, you guys did a good job. This steam locomotive is very important to us, and you're doing the right thing."

Zhao Wen praised a few words, and then walked towards the inside of the wall.

The soldier standing next to the gate of the wall watched Zhao Wen approach, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Wen, "I've seen you, sir!"

Today's Zhao Wen has a very high prestige in Xuan Town and is very loved by the people.

And these soldiers were selected from these common people, so they were naturally very loyal to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen nodded at the soldiers, praised them a few words, and then walked inside.

As soon as he walked into the test site, Zhao Wen saw a steam locomotive roaring from a distance with steam.

Song Yingxing pointed to the steam locomotive, and said to Zhao Wen: "In the current testing ground, we have laid several railways according to the standards of adults.

The three steam locomotives we built are now being tested on these rails. "

Looking at the oncoming steam locomotive, Zhao Wen kept nodding his head, his face full of excitement.

In appearance, today's steam locomotives are very similar to those of the [-]th and [-]th centuries, except that they are a little bigger than those of later generations, there is no other difference.

When the steam locomotive passed by Zhao Wen, it blew its whistle.

Zhao Wen's face was full of intoxication when he heard the sound of the whistle.

With the steam locomotive, coupled with the built railway, in the future, the entire Ming Dynasty can be firmly held in the hands.

After the steam locomotive passed by Zhao Wen, it stopped at the end of the railway.

Not long after the steam locomotive stopped, two more steam locomotives drove over.

The two steam locomotives also stopped at the end of the railway.

Today's railways are all in the shape of an I-shaped according to Zhao Wen's requirements, which is similar to the railways of later generations.

Zhao Wen looked at the railway on the ground, knelt down and stroked it twice, and then walked towards a stopped steam locomotive.

As soon as he got to the side of the steam locomotive, the person driving the steam locomotive came down from above and saluted Zhao Wen respectfully.

Zhao Wen took a closer look and found that the people driving the three steam locomotives were students of Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing.

Zhao Wen looked at these teenagers, praised them a few times, and then boarded the steam locomotive.
