1825 My New Daming

A long train rumbled slowly into the Zhengyangmen Railway Station in Beijing, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, with its whistle blowing amidst a cloud of white steam.

Zhengyangmen Railway Station was rebuilt from the original Zhengyangmen Wengcheng in the inner city of Beijing.The tall and majestic Zhengyangmen tower, the archery tower, and the city wall of Wengcheng have all been subtly rebuilt as part of the railway station.

At the same time, it is also a hub of urban rail transit (subway, light rail) in Beijing, and it is also the largest bus station in Beijing - the name is "bus station", but in fact there are public gas vehicles, public steam vehicles operating here. Cars, public carriages, only a very small number of them are really high-end and high-end buses.

This bus is the high-tech king of ground transportation today!Because the size of the bus is there, there is no gasoline engine with 20 horsepower or 30 horsepower to pull it. It needs an in-line or radial engine with 100-200 horsepower to be powerful enough!And these engines are all "Aerofa". The two major aviation giants of Ming Dynasty, Beijing Ssangyong and Jiangnan Phoenix, use the same type of engine as the engine used in the plane and airship produced by these buses.

With the "Hangfa" bus, can this grade be lower?
And today, outside the station in front, there is still a row of double-decker buses that look particularly large!For this part, it is estimated that a 250-horsepower aviation engine will be used!
There are also very special paintings on the shell of these double-decker buses, which are in the shape of a dragon and a crane, not a double shape of a tiger and a crane, but a dragon with teeth and claws and a crane with wings spread.Seeing this large bus, plus the pattern, plus a large row of Jinyiwei officers and soldiers parked outside Zhengyangmen Railway Station and guarding inside and outside Zhengyangmen Railway Station, everyone knows that there must be some distinguished guests visiting today. Beijing city!
Beijing citizens passing by Zhengyang Gate were also stopped by the vigilant Jinyiwei—the imperial driver is not allowed to pass through for the time being!The Zhengyang Gate in Beijing is not an ordinary place, it is at the foot of the real imperial city, surrounded by the yamen of various ministries of the Ming court except for the imperial palace, or the houses of noble children of aristocratic families.Therefore, the pedestrians stopped by Jin Yiwei are not in a hurry. Because these people who eat at the yamen are late because they are stopped by the royal driver, they will not be considered late.

Moreover, it is quite rare for a royal driver to travel in Beijing.It’s not that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all nerds and never go out, but that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty rarely goes out formally with the imperial guard of honor. Just go out quietly for a walk, don’t be too conspicuous, lest the people of the eight great families think that the emperor has ulterior motives, Want to rebel!

However, the current Holy Majesty of the Ming Dynasty seems to be a courageous man, not afraid of people's words, and not afraid of what the eight great families will arrange for him.And the scale of this royal driving trip today is particularly large!

I don't know if there is any valid reason?
It's not good to be active like this for no reason!

So good citizens in Beijing who cared about the little emperor's health began to inquire about each other.

"What day is it today? The emperor is traveling again? Why are you still building so many big cars?"

"Don't you know? A foreign emperor came to visit us today to discuss the matter of going on an imperial conquest together, so our emperor has to come forward to greet him."

"A foreign emperor? Who is it? Daoguang or Nicholas?"

"None of them are mirror emperors of Japan."

"What mirror emperor is the emperor Shizuko!"

"The empress? What is she here for? It's not a blind date, is it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Emperor Jingzi is in her 30s, how can she still be unmarried? Maybe there will be countless strong men in the harem long ago."

This group of old Beijingers who came from aristocratic families really didn't have any respect for the imperial power, and they were completely ignorant when they arranged the arrangement, and they couldn't even look down on the Jin Yiwei beside them.But these Jinyiwei are also old Beijing, so they are too embarrassed to speak up.One of them, who was a small boss, simply gave these nonsense onlookers the bottom line.

"It's all fucking nonsense, let me tell you, the Emperor Jingzi didn't come to have a blind date with our emperor. Our emperor has already appointed Princess Yujiao of Siam as his queen, and it is not the turn of Emperor Jingzi. The emperor is here to discuss with us Ming Dynasty how to carve up together, no, to liberate India!"

"Liberate India? Ah, I remembered the news that the newspapers have achieved great victories in Malacca in the past two days! It seems that this time it is really going to be a big fight?"

"Of course!" Jin Yiwei said proudly, "The opportunity for us to make contributions has come!"

"Really? Really? This is great!"

"How many years have I been waiting for this?"

At last, no one talked about the jokes about the emperor's family and the emperor's family anymore, and everyone's interest was transferred to the great cause of liberating India.

Make contributions!
Even for the children of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families and noble families, it is very attractive.After all, the eight aristocratic families have multiplied so far, who is not full of descendants?How can there be so many benefits to satisfy everyone?
And a war to capture India seems to be quite exciting!

Everyone knows that India has a population of [-] million and several million square kilometers. It is very valuable to be liberated!

At the same moment, a special train galloping all the way from Busan, North Korea was wearing rough clothes, and slowly entered a heavily guarded platform.The platform was full of brocade guards in flying fish suits and black eunuchs in python robes holding whisks.

Zhu Xijin, the Ninth Five-Year King of the Ming Dynasty, wore a bright yellow dragon robe and a black black gauze hat. He was sitting in a VIP room next to the platform with a golden sword, and beside him was another man dressed in the same costume. Mrs. Mingli is none other than the Empress Dowager Zheng Yuhuan.

A month or two ago, Empress Dowager Zheng had ended her behind-the-scenes listening to politics and returned the modest power to the little emperor Zhu Xijin.But her influence is still there!After all, she has been under the curtain for many years, and there are her confidants in the palace, and outside the palace, she also has three supporters, Zhuge Weidao, Zheng Guoxian, and Mu Zhongjun!These three people are the core figures of the Zhuge family, the Zheng family, and the Mu family. It is no exaggeration to say that they can influence the policies of the three great families.

Of course, another important reason why Zheng Yuhuan can continue to exert influence is that the "big politics" in the hands of the little emperor Zhu Xijin is actually not true.Since the big politics are all false, there is nothing to argue between the mother and son. Not only is there nothing to fight between them, but the two of them have clearly united and worked hard so that their children and grandchildren can stay in power forever .

At this time, Zheng Yuhuan was whispering to his son: "The alliance of three emperors to carve up India is of great benefit to our mother and son, and can greatly enhance our royal power in the Ming Dynasty. But this is a big policy, and it is not appropriate for us to raise it." , so you have to persuade your Aunt Jingzi to propose. When she proposed, the cabinet had to discuss the feasibility of this matter. But the cabinet’s major policy is still not decided by the Eight Great Families? Among the Eight Great Families, they belong to the Zhuge family, the Zheng family The family has the most say, while the Mu family ranks third. The division of India is of great benefit to the eight great families. After all, India has a large population and can carve up dozens of countries. Li? Let’s push this matter hard, and people from the Eight Great Families will not object. And once this matter is completed, the next step will be the Royal Conquest and the Alliance of the Three Emperors! One by one, You have to come forward! If you show up more, your reputation will naturally increase, and the dragon chair under your buttocks will become more stable, and you can pass it on to your descendants in the future!"

"Mother," Zhu Xijin had just been in charge, and he really didn't know much about military and state affairs, so he was a little confused, "Who is the other emperor of the alliance of the three emperors you are talking about?"

"Daoguang, the Golden Emperor Daoguang!"
