Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 995 The Steam Engine Train Is Running

Chapter [-] The steam engine train starts running

It is not accidental that a woman in the Tang Dynasty is the master of the house. With the example of Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang, there are not a few women who show their faces in public.There are not a few strange women who pass on their husbands.

For example, Fang Xuanling's wife, Lu Shi, who is famous for her jealousy in history, even Li Er dared to slander her.For example, Wei Zheng's wife Pei, since Wei Zheng joined Li Mi's tent in the 13th year of Daye, he began to abandon his family and business. Although Pei's business is not as big as Yang Rong's, Pei still keeps Wei Zheng The family members are well organized.

Of course, there are also Hong Fu Nu in Unofficial Miscellaneous Notes, as well as Princess Taiping, Princess Changle, Queen Wei, etc. in history.Even though these women have left indelible marks in history, who would have thought that Yang Rong's vision would be so advanced?
Wu Zetian entered the palace as a talented person and eventually became a generation of empress. Speaking of Wu Zetian's teacher, I am afraid that her mother Yang Rong is even more powerful.Although it is recorded in history that Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang bullied their mother and son after the death of the warrior Xun, none of Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang could die well.

Parents are children's teachers, every word and deed will let children imitate.Yang Rong is so powerful now, it is obvious that Yang Rong has contributed a lot to being able to cultivate Wu Zetian as a monster.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with exchanging needs with Western Turks.Although it is said that the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks have the same origin, the humiliation and harm that the Turks imposed on the Central Plains actually had little to do with the Western Turks.

Regardless of this factor, it is not realistic for Chen Ying to kill all the Western Turks. Chen Ying, who has been a man for two generations, knows very well that he can defeat the Western Turks, but he cannot kill them all.After all, Anxi is really too big.Drilling into any valley, not to mention giving Chen Ying an army of one hundred thousand, even if there is an army of one million, Chen Ying has no way to uproot the Western Turks.

Seeing Chen Ying's silence, Yang Rong smiled and said, "Little cousin, you can think about it slowly!"

"You want to turn the Silk Road into a bloody slave road?" Chen Ying looked into Yang Rong's eyes and said slowly, "Do you know what the consequences will be if this hole is opened?"

Yang Rong smiled and said: "My little cousin, don't you understand? In order to reward you for pacifying the Turks and assisting His Majesty, Anxi has become your fiefdom. I will benefit from you in the end!"

There was nothing wrong with Yang Rong's words. Except for Chen Ying, all the generals leading the army, whether it was Li Jing, Li Shiji, Xue Wanche, Yuchi Jingde or the like, counted as one, and all their families lived in Chang'an.To enjoy the blessings, in fact, is to control as a hostage.

However, Chen Ying didn't do that.His eldest son Li Siye, eldest son Chen Qian, and eldest daughter Li Ruoxi all followed Li Xiuning to live in Shule City.

Chen Ying murmured: "Big cousin, I'm just worried that once the guys in your firm leave Anxi, if the Western Turkic people turn against each other..."

"Flip?..." Hearing these words, Yang Rong smiled prettily. After a while, she smiled and said, "With you, Chen Rentu, who dares to turn one over and show me? Little cousin, You don’t know your reputation. Now we Tang people, let alone in the Tang Dynasty, are in the Byzantine Empire or the Sasanian Empire thousands of miles away. The government over there didn’t dare to take care of it, and I don’t know how many Persian or Sogdian merchants, they put their business names under the name of the Tang people and regarded themselves as shopkeepers.”

Hearing this, Chen Ying looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, his eyes became deep, as if he was going to travel through time and space, and arrived more than 300 years later. In a corner, as long as there are people, you can see Chinese people.

However, whether these Chinese businessmen are at home or abroad, they will make their companies have foreign names, as if they will become taller if they are stained with foreign style.Nobel tiles, Marco Polo tiles, Picasso tiles, Van Gogh tiles, Mona Lisa tiles, Da Vinci furniture... are all made in China. Ajisen Ramen has no store in Japan, and California Beef Noodle King has no store in the United States. Yoshinoya It is not the same as Yoshinoya in Japan. The French Biostime, the American Shi En milk powder, and the French Kazilan are all authentic Cantonese products, Caldenton suits, pure Shenzhen products, and Jordan sneakers have nothing to do with Jordan...

There is no one who does not want their country to be strong, of course, those bastards who are called half-breeds are fine.

Thinking of this, Chen Yingdao: "I agree in principle, but you have to pay taxes, there is no reason to speak!"

Yang Rong stretched out her white hands and said, "Okay!"

……

Finally, Chen Ying arrived in Shule City smoothly.

However, knowing that the steam engine had made a breakthrough, Chen Ying didn't go to visit it immediately, but...soaked beautifully in the big pool, enjoying the blessing of being equal to others.

As the saying goes, after serving in the army for three years, a sow is better than Diaochan.

The only difference between Chen Ying's army and the other armies of the Tang Dynasty is that there are no camp prostitutes under Chen Ying's command. The soldiers of the army can kill, rob, and set fire, but rape is not allowed.

This is the iron law, whoever touches it will die.

As the coach, Chen Ying also made no exception.

Now at home, Chen Ying suddenly turned into a werewolf under the moon.

Li Xiuning once again proved one thing with facts and actions, there are only exhausted cows and no plowed fields.When Chen Ying was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers, Li Xiuning could still help Chen Ying change his clothes and get up to prepare meals for Chen Ying.

Chen Ying was lying on the soft couch, so weak that he didn't even have the energy to eat.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and said, "Laugh if you want to laugh..."

Li Xiuning pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's been more than a year...you don't even know how I survived as a concubine."

"Am I better than you?" Chen Ying stretched out his arms, and Li Xiuning lay in Chen Ying's arms knowingly.

Li Xiuning murmured: "I want to have a few more children!"

Chen Ying buried his head on Li Xiuning's chest and said, "Then get ready and make another football team!"

Li Xiuning asked suspiciously, "Football team?"

Chen Ying explained: "It's the Cuju team!"

Li Xiuning suddenly realized, stretched out her hand to beat Chen Ying's chest, and said angrily: "I'm going to die, what do you think of me as a concubine?"

Chen Ying sighed for a long time and said, "Our business has happened!"

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying in confusion.

Li Xiuning has her own news channel, and she understands what Chen Ying said.It was Li Xiuning's idea to save Li Shimin and send Li Shimin to Fusang mainland. If it wasn't for Li Xiuning's reason, Chen Ying would hand Li Shimin over to Li Jiancheng, which would be the most consistent with Chen Ying's interests.

However, Chen Ying did not do that.In order not to make her sad, Chen Ying took the risk of offending Li Jiancheng and sent Li Shimin to Fusang mainland.

Now that Li Shimin sent Cheng Zhijie back, Li Jiancheng will definitely be furious, it is inevitable.

In Li Jiancheng's view, Chen's response to him was a betrayal, a naked betrayal.

Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go back to Chang'an and explain to Da Lang..."

"Actually, no need!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "I believe His Majesty will understand. If he doesn't understand, no matter what I do, I will continue!"

After all, in terms of certain needs, men come and go quickly, not as long as women come.Even though Chen Ying insisted on exercising all the time, Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang, and Fukada Kanon still made Chen Ying feel pain and happiness.

Four days later, Chen Ying had no choice but to sleep with his son Chen Qian, and finally escaped the catastrophe.

……

On the fifth day, Chen Ying walked towards Shule College with dark circles under his eyes.

In Shule College, Chen Ying saw the steam engine that he dreamed of day and night. How would he describe it?This thing can only be described as stupid, big and rough, very old-fashioned, but the disadvantages of this steam engine are very obvious, very high, as high as three feet and two feet, the whole body is made of bearing steel, 24 wheels, I really want it Later steam locomotives.

As far as the power mechanism is concerned, there are no detours. Due to the appearance of cotton in Anxi, especially the army under Chen Ying, it is different from other armies in Datang. Since the era of the right guard, the soldiers under Chen Ying have not issued silk , and the direct distribution of ready-made garments, like the original tens of thousands of pieces, it is not impossible to adopt the method of manual sewing, but it will take more time and hire more manpower.

However, with the establishment of Anxi Army up to 40, the number of uniforms per year alone is as high as [-]. This is no longer something that can be easily done by relying on a large number of people.

What's more, after the common people were assigned to the fields, it was already very difficult to recruit people.Chen Ying relied on the opinions of later generations and asked craftsmen to create a pedal-type sewing machine.

The driving principle of the current steam engine is still this kind of crank linkage.

The steam engine locomotive at this time was different from that of later generations. Before Chen Ying invented the locomotive, he first built a Chidao. Although it was called a Chidao, it was actually a double-track railway with a width of about one foot and two feet.And the width of the tracks of this train is all one foot and two feet, and the length is about ten feet and six feet.

Flavi Zeno bowed and said, "Your Excellency, do you want to test the car?"

Chen Ying patted Flavi Zeno on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Lao Qi, even the steam engine has been made!"

Flavi Zeno carefully explained: "Your Excellency, my surname is Flavi..."

Zhou Qing's eyes widened, and he yelled at Flavi Zeno: "Hurry up and thank the lord for giving me your surname!"

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Flavi Zeno hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke, for giving me your surname!"

Hearing this, Chen Ying didn't reprimand Zhou Qing.Instead, he explained to Flavi Zeno with great interest: "Old Qi, this Qi family is a descendant of Jiang Shang, a descendant of the Jiang family, one of the eight surnames in ancient times, and takes the country as his surname."

Flavi Zeno asked suspiciously: "Ancient?"

Chen Ying nodded solemnly and said: "That's right, the Jiang family can be interpreted as your original Greek god's residence. In our China, in ancient times, there were eight surnames: Pu, Jiang, Ji, Ying, 妘, 妫, Yao, and Si. And the Jiang family is Shennong’s name is Jiangshui, and Shennong’s is equivalent to Apollo in Greece. About 2000 years ago, Jiang Shang, the master of hundreds of schools, named Qi State, and his descendants are Qi.”

Originally, Flavi Zeno was still a little reluctant, but after hearing that his ancestor of the Qi family was so awesome that he was actually Apollo, he no longer resisted in his heart.Don't think that finding a celebrity ancestor for yourself is the exclusive property of Chinese people. In fact, foreigners also like to pretend to be ancestors in this way.Thus, Flavi Zeno became Zeno.

Chen Yingdao: "Test drive!"

With the sound of chugging and chugging, the big chimney above the front of the car also began to emit a large puff of white smoke, Chen Ying simply got on his horse and waited for the front of the car to start.

After a loud noise from the front of the car, the crankshaft, which looked thicker than an adult's arm, began to drive the wheels to rotate, and then there was a constant bang, bang, and the whole front of the car began to slowly move forward with the carriage .

However, what made Chen Ying extremely distressed was that the speed of this steam engine train was really unflattering.

Not to mention galloping war horses, even Chen Ying can keep up on foot. According to Chen Ying's walking speed, it is about six or seven kilometers per hour, just like a snail crawling.
