Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 75 fainted
By now, everyone can probably understand.

Cao Wei replaced the horses with the locomotive of the train, and the carriages at the back were used to carry people.

Moreover, the combined number of passengers in the three carriages seems to be quite a lot. At this time, there are at least twenty people in the three carriages. How can an ordinary carriage carry so many people?

The coals burned, and the boiler, which had not been completely cooled, boiled again soon, and the steam engine began to operate.

"Ah-"

"Ah-"

……

The front of the car began to move forward slowly with the carriage. Huang Zicheng's face was as black as the coal under the boiler.

The train was getting faster and faster, and everyone was surprised to find that after including the rear carriages and more than 20 craftsmen, the original speed of the train was hardly affected.

This kind of carrying capacity is beyond the reach of ordinary horses!
"Master Huang, I see you now, how do you feel?"

At this moment, it was not Cao Wei who spoke out against Huang Zicheng, but Yan Zhenzhi.

"Am I one of those people who can be easily deceived?" Yan Zhen's tone of questioning was obvious. He was not a clay figure either, and he remembered being brought down by Huang Zicheng in the past.

Huang Zicheng grinned, and his expression was so embarrassing that Cao Wei felt that he must want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in at this time.

But Cao Wei is not a saint. It is his character to treat an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Huang Zicheng slandered himself just now, how could he pretend that nothing had happened at this time.

"Master Huang, don't say anything. Is this train worthy of Master Huang? Can you give me a critical review?"

Everyone had to turn their eyes and stare at Huang Zicheng.

Huang Zicheng gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Wei.

Yan Zhenzhi is a minister of the Ministry of Industry anyway, so it is only natural to find a place at this time, how dare you, a farmer, be so domineering?
After a surge of anger rose in his heart, Huang Zicheng, who originally wanted to bow his head, changed his mind and decided to just let it go!
If Cao Wei, a mere farmer, rode on his head today, how would he gain a foothold in the court in the future?
"Hmph! No matter how good your train is, it can't go anywhere without the tracks! It's a flashy thing after all!" Huang Zicheng flicked his sleeve robe, intending to be stubborn to the end.

"Heh!" Cao Wei sneered.

"A flamboyant thing? Master Huang's vision is really high."

"Ordinary carriages can carry up to three or five people, but trains can pull hundreds or thousands of people for thousands of miles without sleep. Is this also called a flashy thing?"

When Cao Wei said these words, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

Can it carry hundreds or even thousands of people?
is it possible?

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were fixed, and his expression became solemn.

"Cao Wei, are you telling the truth? Can this train carry thousands of people and travel thousands of miles?"

Cao Wei nodded, "Your Majesty, of course it is true. It's just that the front of this train is too small and the power is not enough. If it exceeds a hundred people, it will be overwhelmed."

"But if all the equipment such as the steam engine is enlarged, its power will be doubled, and it will be easy to carry hundreds of people, even a thousand people can do it!"

For a moment, the whole scene could hear the sound of needles falling!
Hearing what Cao Wei said, it seems that this is indeed the truth.

"Hiss—!" Someone gasped.

If it is really possible to quickly transfer thousands of people back and forth without sleep, then the significance of this train will be great!

"Your Majesty, this train is a divine weapon!" Someone suddenly said.

Cao Wei looked over and saw a handsome man wearing the uniform of a military attaché.

"As the saying goes, speed is the most important thing. If we can develop a train that can carry a thousand people, the army can dispatch support faster in the future! The pressure of the war on the border of our Ming Dynasty will be greatly reduced!" The handsome man said righteously.

Cao Wei quietly leaned against Jiang Yu behind him, "Who is this person?"

"Wei Guogong." Jiang Yu replied in a low voice.

"Ouch!" Cao Wei was shocked again. There were quite a few adults here today.

It was the 25th year of Hongwu, and Xu Da, the first Wei Guogong of the Ming Dynasty, had already passed away, so the Wei Guogong in front of him could only be Xu Yungong, the eldest son of Xu Da.

Xu Yungong also has another name called Xu Huizu. In the original historical track, after Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunqi came to power, he changed his name to Xu Huizu in order to avoid the taboo.

Cao Wei knows some of Xu Yungong's deeds. He can be said to be a tiger in the generals, a pillar of talent, and a truly loyal minister and good general!
In fact, it was not only Xu Yungong who thought of the military use of trains. Almost all the generals present could think of it. Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others were no exception. It was just Xu Yungong who said it.

"That's the truth!" Lan Jade Weng agreed angrily.

The establishment of the Ming Dynasty army was the Weisuo system, and the Military Guard Law stipulated that a county would set up a station, and even counties would set up guards.

According to the "Preface to the Military Chronicles of the Ming Dynasty": "The Ming Dynasty used martial arts to determine the world and revolutionized the old system of the Yuan Dynasty. From the capital to the counties, they all established guard posts."

The detailed establishment is divided into: 5600 people for one guard, 1120 people for one thousand households, 112 people for one hundred households, 50 people for a general banner, and 10 people for a small banner.

One guard governs five thousand-household offices, one thousand-household office governs ten hundred-household offices, and one hundred-household office governs two general banners, each with five small banners.

In other words, 1000 people are equivalent to all the combat power of a thousand households!
According to the past, it is very troublesome to transfer a thousand households back and forth between the important towns and fortresses on the border. After all, it is impossible to equip a thousand people with horses, which may lead to delays due to insufficient military support!
A thousand people doesn't sound like a lot, but when these 1000 people stand in front of you, people can truly feel the sense of oppression they bring.

A battle may change the situation of the battle because of the timely support of one or two thousand households!

"Father, this train is of great use, we should continue to step up its research and development!" Zhu Di couldn't help but said.

Seeing this, Zhu Huan naturally hurriedly followed suit.

Slowly, more and more people spoke. Regardless of their official position, almost all generals were saying good things for Cao Wei's train.

They have seen that trains can carry people. If trains that can carry people on a large scale are built in the future, they will be the most direct beneficiaries.

Which general doesn't want to win a battle?
The train is the magic weapon!
The train in the field was still running non-stop, and the light in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became more and more bright!
"Cao Wei," Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head slowly, looked at him squarely, and said in a deep voice, "Da Ming needs a train that can carry a thousand people, you know what to do, right?"

After hearing this, Cao Wei turned his head and looked at Huang Zicheng in the crowd.

"Master Huang, what do you say?"

In an instant!
All the generals, big and small, who spoke just now turned their eyes to Huang Zicheng.

A layer of sweat broke out on Huang Zicheng's forehead. At this moment, he couldn't say a word.

"Master Huang?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cao Wei chased him and called out again.

However, as soon as Cao Wei finished speaking, Huang Zicheng rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Cao Wei was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.

Pretending to be dizzy?
