Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 362 Take the Train to Longmen Fort
In addition to food processing factories, Zhao Wen also built several processing factories specially used for processing cattle and sheepskin.

The stripped cattle and sheepskin in the food processing factory can just be used to process cattle and sheepskin products.

For example, leather boots, leather clothes and belts are also daily necessities for Zhao Wen's army.

In Zhao Wen's plan, all his troops will wear leather boots in the future.

As time passed day by day, Zhao Wen also transferred five thousand soldiers to Man Gui.

In addition to the [-] soldiers, Zhao Wen also distributed a large portion of canned food to Man Gui.

"This is canned food, the military rations I distribute to you."

Standing in the school grounds, Zhao Wen had already assembled the five thousand soldiers transferred to Man Gui. Before setting off, Zhao Wen held a can and said to Man Gui.

Zhao Wenna's cans are cylindrical, similar in shape to milk powder cans of later generations, but smaller in volume.

Man Gui had never seen canned food, nor had he ever eaten canned food. He looked at the tin can in Zhao Wen's hand, his face was full of bewilderment, "Is this military rations? Just such a tin can?"

Zhao Wen chuckled, then drew a short knife from his waist, and scratched along the iron lid of the can.

Zhao Wen originally planned to use glass to make cans, but after thinking about it, Zhao Wen gave up this idea, even though the cost and craftsmanship of glass cans are lower than iron cans.

After all, this is a war, and glass is easy to break. Besides, Zhao Wen does not have rubber now, so the sealing of glass cans must not be good. In this way, the shelf life of cans will be reduced.

As for the process of producing iron cans, it is manufactured after forging and pressing with wrought iron sheets.

Now that Zhao Wen already has a steam engine, it is not too difficult to make cans.

After a while, Zhao Wen took off the iron cover, and a smell of meat came to his nostrils.

Man Gui looked at the canned meat in Zhao Wen's hand, and said dully, "This is the military ration for us? Isn't this too extravagant? It's full of meat?"

Man Gui really couldn't figure out why Zhao Wen's military rations were all meat.

You know, even the most elite soldiers have only two meals a day, and they are porridge.

If you want to eat dry rice, you can only eat it before the war, and it is even more difficult to eat meat.

"If you want an army to be invincible, in addition to excellent generals and powerful weapons, you must have strong logistics and strong soldiers.

If the soldiers are weak, even if the weapons are strong, there will be a day of failure.If soldiers can't even eat enough to eat, what's the use of fighting?

Not only can this can provide soldiers with a lot of nutrition, but it is also durable and can be eaten for a year. It is also convenient to transport, which is much easier to transport than ordinary grain. "

Zhao Wen handed the can to Man Gui, and said, "Try it and see how it tastes?"

Man Gui took the can, didn't dislike it, and ate it with his hands.

"Well, it's not bad. It's really fragrant. It looks like beef. There's also a lot of salt in it. This kind of thing is really good. But if you do it like this, aren't you afraid of being eaten by soldiers?" Man Gui was drooling. Oil, said vaguely.

"Haha, being eaten up by soldiers? How is that possible? You don't have to worry about this." Zhao Wen laughed loudly.

After eating the can, Man Gui threw the tin can on the ground and rubbed the oil on his body, "It's getting late now, I should go too."

Zhao Wen nodded, "If that's the case, then I won't send you off. I will arrange logistics to send your rations to you later. You just need to go on your way with peace of mind."

A few quarters of an hour later, a team of 8000 people walked out of Xuan Town and headed for Datong Town.

After sending Man Gui away, Zhao Wen headed for the General Military Mansion.

"My lord, the railway from Xuanzhen to Longmen Fort has been completed, and the railway between Zhangjiakou and Longmen Fort and the railway from Xuanzhen to Zhangjiakou will be completed in a short time."

As soon as Zhao Wen returned to the General Military Mansion, he met an excited Sun Yuanhua.

Now Song Yingxing has returned to his hometown, so Zhao Wen handed over the railway to Sun Yuanhua.

Zhao Wen's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "It's open to traffic? Why is it so fast?"

"Returning to my lord, it has been almost four months since the construction started.

When Mr. Song left, the railway from Xuanzhen to Longmenbao was almost built. When I took over, I also recruited a lot of workers, so the speed has increased a lot. "Sun Yuanhua said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, it's just right, it's just right." Zhao Wen laughed loudly, and then rushed out of the general's mansion in a hurry, taking only a few personal guards with him, and headed for the train station in Xuanzhen.

The current railway station is full of gongs and drums, firecrackers are blasting, and a locomotive with big red flowers is quietly parked on the railway in the railway station.

Around the railway, people came to see the strange people everywhere.

If there were no soldiers blocking them tens of meters away from the train, I am afraid they would have climbed directly onto the train.

There are five carriages hanging behind the locomotive. These carriages were built by Zhao Wen at the same time as the railway was being built.

Compared with the locomotive, the difficulty of the train carriage is very low.

Zhao Wen rode his horse and stopped outside the train station. Looking at the noisy train station, he jumped off the horse in a hurry.

The appearance of the railway station is still very different from that of later generations. The railway station in Xuanzhen is a Chinese-style building at this time.

It's just built out of cement and finally painted.

The entire train station looks very much like a huge pavilion, but it is longer, wider and taller than ordinary pavilions.

In front of the train station is a huge square, which is paved with cement.

The current square is full of noisy crowds, and there are also people running around and juggling.

When you walk into the train station, you will see a huge waiting room surrounded by ticket windows.

At this time, the waiting room was also full of crowds, and there were still a large number of soldiers maintaining order.

After the railway station was successfully built, Sun Yuanhua did not expel the people who came to see the strange things, but let them watch.

After all, Chinese people just like to be lively and prosperous.

Zhao Wen didn't object to this either, and let these people go.

After passing through the waiting room, it is the platform of the train station.

Today's Xuanzhen Railway Station has a small number of platforms, only four, and only four railways.

There are only four large platforms, and each large platform has three small platforms, that is, there are twelve platforms in total.

If this scale is placed in later generations, it is not even considered a small station, but it is a large station in Daming.

There are also a lot of people squeezing in on the current platform. They look at the train in the middle of the railway, their eyes are full of curiosity.

If they were not blocked by soldiers, they would definitely run to the train to have a closer look.

A little doll held by a woman standing in front of the platform pointed at the train curiously, "Mom, look, it's a big train."

The woman's face was full of curiosity, "I really can't figure out how the commander-in-chief made such a big iron cart. To pull such a big iron cart, I'm afraid hundreds of horses are needed."

When Zhao Wen came to the platform, he heard the woman's voice.

Zhao Wen couldn't help smiling, and then headed towards the train under the leadership of Sun Yuanhua.

"It's the Chief Soldier, it's the Chief Soldier."

Although Zhao Wen was wearing casual clothes, he was still recognized by the people. For a while, the people cheered Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen turned around, waved to the people, and then led Sun Yuanhua and several guards into the first carriage.

The general layout of the carriage is similar to that of the hard-seat green leather cars of later generations, except that the current seats are made of pure wood.

The windows of the carriages are also made of glass, but instead of tempered glass, several pieces of thick ordinary glass are glued together with fish glue.

Zhao Wen's glass kiln has been made a lot now, and glass like this can be produced very quickly.

There is a table between the two seats, which is directly fixed to the bottom of the compartment and is relatively large.

Zhao Wen sat on a chair, looked at the people outside the window, his face was full of excitement.

"My lord, can we start?" Sun Yuanhua stood beside Zhao Wen and asked softly.

Zhao Wen nodded, "You can start. This time, the train will go directly to Longmen Fort. I haven't been to Longmen Fort for a long time. This time I will go to Longmen Fort."

Sun Yuanhua cupped his fists at Zhao Wen, then walked out of the car and shouted loudly to the driver's cab: "It's time to start."

After Sun Yuanhua finished speaking, he walked back and stood beside Zhao Wen.

When he came back, Sun Yuanhua also closed the train door.

Except for Sun Yuanhua, the guards brought by Zhao Wen also stood beside Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen looked at them, and said with a light smile, "Okay, don't stand there anymore, find a place to sit by yourself. As for Mr. Sun, just sit across from me."

Sun Yuanhua couldn't refuse, so he sat opposite Zhao Wen.

The driver in the cab shouted to the workers inside through the window connected to the boiler room: "My lord has orders, drive now."

After receiving the order, the workers in the boiler room hurriedly ignited the coal that had been stored in the boiler.

The fire in the boiler grew bigger and bigger, and the water inside began to boil.

A moment later, thick white smoke rose from the huge chimney on the locomotive.

The driver blew the whistle, and amidst a long blast of the whistle, the train started to move slowly.

"Look, this big iron car is actually smoking." The onlookers looked at the billowing white smoke from the locomotive, and their eyes were full of horror.

Before they could react, the train started to move slowly.
"It's weird, it's weird, it's really weird, this big iron cart is not pulled by horses, how does it move? And the carriage behind it is so long, what kind of magical power is this?"

For a moment, the crowd watching the moving train shouted in horror.

Among the onlookers, there are several people whose appearance is very different from ordinary people.

These people are none other than Tang Ruowang and the others.

Tang Ruowang looked at the moving train with complex expressions in his eyes.

"What the hell is this thing, that it can be moved without horses, and that it carries so many carriages, it is incredible.

I must learn this kind of technology, and find a chance to bring it back in the future. As long as the empire masters this technology, its strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Tang Ruowang looked at the moving train and made up his mind.

The onlookers looked at the slow train, and many of them followed the platform, chasing the train and shouting non-stop.

Looking at the running people, Zhao Wen couldn't help laughing.

"This is the power of industry!"

The speed of the train is getting faster and faster, until finally it has surpassed the speed of the carriage.

The people stopped. They looked at the train going away, as if seeing a miracle. Some of them even knelt down and kowtowed in the direction the train was leaving.
