Chapter 368 Building Broad Gauge

This is a test railway, very short.

The train arrived at its destination with the most stable speed, without any failure.

Then everyone walked along the rails to check for damage or other problems on the rails.

After everything was ok, the train started to move back, and this time it began to gradually increase the gear and increase the speed.

Still no problem, everything works fine.

"Report to Master Huang and the lord that everything is normal, the train is running smoothly, and there are no problems with all the equipment and components."

The train driver, two train workers, and a recording observer got off the train and came to report.

Xu Ding nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone will watch today, and all those who participated in the train plan will be credited."

Although it was successful, Lao Huang didn't seem to be too happy. Instead, he muttered: "Bokang, although my train has succeeded, the speed is a bit slow, not as fast as a horse."

That's right, the top speed of the test train is not as good as that of a horse, only ten miles per hour, which can really be described as a turtle's speed.

The other generals also felt that this thing was a bit flashy after seeing it.

At this speed, their army marches faster than it.

And this thing needs to burn coal, and the coal needs to be dug by people, so the cost is quite high.

After all, at present, the coal mines they control are all small and deep-hidden. The coal is only enough for steelmaking, copper making and weapon making, and it is also an extremely scarce resource.

But the civil servants are not. When they see the train, their eyes shine.

Although the speed of this thing is not fast, its advantage is that it has a strong consignment capacity. This is a help for them to support the front battlefield in logistics. With this thing, it can reduce the use of farmers and people's strength, and reduce the loss of people's strength in a disguised form.

Maintaining stability is a powerful weapon.

And taking this train is much more comfortable than traveling by car, horse and boat, and it will be more convenient to go back to my hometown or go on a business trip in the future.

"Frozen three feet is not a cold day. When something is made, we have a prototype and confidence. It doesn't matter if the speed is not fast. It may be that the output power of the steam engine is not enough. We continue to study the steam engine, or the locomotive ahead. Pull, and a front pusher is added at the back, won't this double the speed?" Xu Ding smiled.

The benefits of things like trains are unquestionable, and it must be a universal transportation system.

"My lord is right!" Everyone replied.

One locomotive pulls and one locomotive pushes, so the speed is doubled. After improvement and improvement, the speed can be faster. This thing has the meaning of continuing.

"Why does my brother-in-law insist on using a locomotive? I think that using one horse or two horses running in the middle of the track can carry the carriage forward?" Cai Zhenji couldn't stand the big black chimney, and What's more, what's more, the loud noise, so I spoke out my thoughts.

When everyone heard it, hey, this idea is good.

Not to mention horses, mules, donkeys, and even cows can also pull.

"Well, yes, yes, but that kind of railway can only be used as a light rail. The stones between the sleepers must be completely covered without leaving gaps and depressions. The track must be wider, and the carriages must be low and not too high." Xu Ding It's not that he has never thought of using horses to pull the carriages, but he knows that even if this method can temporarily replace locomotives, it will not become the mainstream. In the future, steam locomotives will be the main force.

So he didn't mention it. He didn't expect Cai Zhenji to think of this.

"My lord, in this case, Ms. Cai Er's plan is feasible. Why not build a broad-gauge light steel railway first, and then build a standard-gauge railway after Mr. Huang's steam engine is improved." Mao Jie suggested.

Inspired by Cai Zhenji, he felt that on this railway, not only locomotives, horses, mules, donkeys, etc. can drive the carriages, but people can also drive the carriages. You only need to use a pole to support it behind the carriages like a rowing boat, and the carriages will be able to move. Forward.

Although this speed is not fast, it is stable and safe, and it is a great supplement to the transportation of goods.

Xu Ding thought for a while and said, "Okay! For the time being, let's lay this kind of track first, from the eastern pier of the island to the western pier, and at the same time connect the major mines and major cities and counties."

It is only used on the island, and it will not affect the future railway construction plan.

Xu Ding also considered that the main reason is that there is not so much coal to feed the trains, and when he has enough coal to win Liaodong, he will not have to think so much.

After returning from the railway test site, Xu Ding found that Qiao and Qiao seemed not very happy, especially Xiao Qiao, this girl was very lively and she was most curious about new things.

There is not much excitement in the car ride today.

When he came back, he asked Da Qiao: "What's the matter, Xiao Qiao? It seems that you are not in a good mood, and your complexion is not very good."

Da Qiao hesitated for a while whether to say it, and finally bit his lips and said: "Brother Xu, we have come to Donglai, and we have been in Weiyuan Island for a while. When we came out, I didn't inform my father. He must be in a hurry and will send countless people. Looking for us, Xiao Qiao may be missing her father."

Don't talk about Little Qiao, Big Qiao misses Mr. Qiao himself.

It turned out to be like this, Xu Ding comforted her and said: "Don't worry, I have sent someone to send a letter to your father, he knows that you have come to me."

After Xiao Qiao came over, Xu Ding sent someone to Wan County, firstly to tell Mr. Qiao about this matter, so that he could feel at ease.

The second is worrying, fearing that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will continue to play tricks on Qiao's family, so he reserved manpower to continue to pay attention. Once something happens over there, he will know about it soon.

"Really? Thank you, Brother Xu!" Da Qiao was completely pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect Xu Ding to be so considerate. He took into account what the two of them hadn't considered, and sent a letter to his father.

"Okay, go tell Xiao Qiao and tell her not to worry. If you really miss her, I can send someone to take you back, or pick Mr. Qiao up to the island." Xu Ding said more empathetically.

Da Qiao was even more delighted, nodded, and then went to find Xiao Qiao.

During these days, the island is full of joyful songs and laughter, safe and peaceful.

Under the rule of Beihai Kingdom and Donglai, many unknown bloody storms happened quietly. The four masters and ten assassins of the Blood Shadow Pavilion carried out countermeasures in various places.

Jingzhou!

"Great Governor! The plan failed. The Blood Shadow Pavilion suddenly took refuge in Xu Ding. The four masters of the Blood Shadow Pavilion sniped the assassins sent by all parties in Donglai and Beihai. I heard that the other three organizations suffered heavy losses."

The man in black came out from the corner of the wall and reported the news he had received.

Cai Mao rubbed his chin and snorted coldly: "What a Blood Shadow Pavilion, who actually wants to wash his name and become a good person, how about the reaction of the other three major organizations, they can swallow this breath."

Heiyinghui reported: "Blood Shadow Pavilion has uttered harsh words, no organization is allowed to carry out assassinations in Xu Ding's jurisdiction, otherwise it will be regarded as the endless enemy of Blood Shadow Pavilion, people from the three major organizations have temporarily withdrawn from Xu Ding's jurisdiction, What happened next is unknown.”

"A group of cowardly fellows, they are not afraid of being provoked." Cai Mao snorted coldly, obviously extremely dissatisfied.

The killers sent to Donglai seemed to be wiped out, and the Blood Shadow Pavilion intervened, and they couldn't retreat even if they wanted to.

Why is Xu Ding so lucky, even the Blood Shadow Pavilion of the four major organizations is willing to serve him, he is indeed the world's number one enemy, I hope the members of the Yuan family and the Liu family can successfully assassinate him.

"Then Commander, are we still paying attention to the news from Xu Ding?" Hei Ying asked.

Cai Mao said: "No need, Xu Ding is still a little far away from us. In fact, killing him will not gain much benefits except reputation. Let's see, Yuzhou and Yangzhou will definitely attack Xu Ding after the autumn harvest. We have to seize the opportunity and focus on Nanyang and Changsha."

"It's the governor!" After Heiyi understood, he quietly disappeared around the corner.

Almost at the same time, Luyang, Yuzhou!

"Damn it! This blood shadow is too hateful, is it against me?" Yuan Shu growled, and then said to his subordinate Li Feng: "Pass my order, as long as people from the Blood Shadow Pavilion appear in Yuzhou in the future, they will all be strangled by me. Hmph! If other assassins are not allowed to enter Xu’s territory, then they will not be allowed to appear in my Blood Shadow Pavilion.”

Li Feng replied: "It's my lord!"

Assassin's way is to take a small step, and it is not elegant. Li Feng is really worried that Yuan Shu's practice will make everyone know about it.

People in other states and counties who had secretly contacted the Assassin Organization or sent captive followers all looked in the direction of Donglai with regret and envy when they received the news, and then fell silent.

Chang'an!

Dong Zhuo said: "Wen You, this Blood Shadow Pavilion's tone is too loud, it's a posture of wanting to make an enemy of the world."

"Prime Minister, don't disturb, the matter of the Blood Shadow Pavilion will only end temporarily, and the other three major organizations will not endure it forever. As long as someone offers the right price, I think the three major organizations will definitely unite to kill the Blood Shadow Pavilion. With the destruction of the Shadow Pavilion, Xu Ding will be assassinated endlessly." Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo was still somewhat dissatisfied, and then explained:

"Prime Minister! Now the princes in the dark can't help but make Xu Ding, so just in time, after the autumn harvest, there will definitely be bright moves, and they will definitely be big."

Dong Zhuo said: "Wen You, what do you mean, Yuan Shu and others will unite to attack Xu Ding, just like they attacked us together back then, but if they are not next to Xu Ding, it will be difficult for the army to attack Donglai together."

"Prime Minister, it is not necessary to attack Donglai. Doesn't Xu Ding still have an ally Tao Qian? It is also feasible to attack Xuzhou." Li Ru had a cold smile on his face, and he was mourning for Tao Qian.

Xuzhou is close to Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, and if they can't beat Xu Ding, can these people use an excuse to fight Xuzhou, and carve up Tao Qian's territory by the way?

Could it be that Xu will not send troops to rescue at that time?
This is called fighting cattle across the mountain. After Xu Ding sent troops to rescue him, his basic market would be empty.

Dong Zhuo is a man who started from the army, and instantly understood Li Ru's meaning, and then he showed joy, patted his thigh and said, "Wonderful! Haha, okay, let's wait for the autumn harvest and see what the Kanto rats will do this time." What kind of beating."

To the north of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan fought in a melee in Jizhou.

To the south of the Yellow River, Yuan Shu, Jiao He, Liu Dai, Liu Yao and others attacked Tao Qian and Xu Ding.
