Emperor Chongzhen knew the plan of the Jianlu Remnants clearly through the information feedback from the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Haoge and Turge. He could also see that these Jianlu Remnants were carrying out the life-and-death plan at all costs, and he was happy to achieve this.

The remnants of Jianlu attacked north desperately, which was in line with their estimate of killing each other. It was this desperate way of playing that allowed Sun Chuanting's troops to steadily advance northward and reduce a lot of resistance.

In addition, if the remnants of Jianlu were so lucky and could really grab a lot of ships to go to sea, no matter whether they could reach America or not, it would add an excuse for Emperor Chongzhen to send troops to America.

Although it has been announced among the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty before, why would they fight in the world in the future? However, for ordinary people, this kind of thing about seeking benefits for their descendants cannot be known, otherwise they will spread. Everyone, not only the Ming Dynasty, knows that there is more precious wealth than gold underground in the Middle East, the Caucasus and other regions, which is not conducive to the Ming Dynasty to conquer and rule those places.

The remnants of Jianlu were necessary to be eliminated by the Ming Dynasty. They fled, and Emperor Chongzhen borrowed the famous saying from the strong Han Dynasty: Those who violated the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away! Therefore, at least in name, Emperor Chongzhen had to send troops on a large scale to cross the sea to the Americas to continue chasing the remnants of Jianlu, which is natural, and it is something that the people of the Ming Dynasty could understand.

In fact, it is not just the remnants of Jianlu, but also the original governor of Batavia, Anthony. If Emperor Chongzhen really didn't want to let him go, he wouldn't be able to leave. The reason why he let him go was the same as the remnants of Jianlu, allowing the Ming army to go to the West and enter the Middle East to provide the necessary excuses.

Considering that it is the end of the 21st year of Chongzhen again, the weather in Japan has become colder, and it is not realistic for Sun Chuanting's army to occupy all the Japanese countries. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen did not urge him to let Sun Chuanting continue to take steady steps and will definitely occupy the entire Japanese country next year. In other words, Japan now doesn't have to worry about it, and it is already a foregone conclusion that it has become a province of the Ming Dynasty.

So Emperor Chongzhen no longer cared about the affairs of Japan and turned to pay attention to what he was paying attention to. To be honest, he was really a little excited.

The steam train that I had only seen in movies and TV series in my previous life is now officially entering the public's attention. This steam train, from principle to formation to improvement, is immersed in his efforts.

It is a very fulfilling sense of transportation that can change this era!

On November 11, 21, Chongzhen, outside the north gate of the capital, the newly built railway station was already crowded with people.

The people of the capital, even the people in the capital, saw the imperial court’s notice half a month ago that the train between the capital and Tongzhou was scheduled to be officially opened on this Double Eleven, and the emperor would personally "finish the highlight" of the first steam train in the Ming Dynasty.

Such a grand event was not only attended by the emperor, but also “trains” that had never been seen before. Therefore, as long as you can move, you will come to the capital.

Thanks to the fact that the capital had a lot of experience in dealing with such large gatherings, he quickly sent soldiers from the five cities to stop people. At this point in the capital, the people in the capital alone would not be able to squeeze in. If the people in the capital were rushing over again, there would be a trampling accident.

The final result was that along the railway line, from the capital to Tongzhou, it was full of people. It was as if the train was not on the railway tracks, but among the crowd.

It is also a blessing that when the official road was built, Emperor Chongzhen had already reserved a railway next to him, so there was no need to worry that the people of the Ming Dynasty had no place to stop. However, in this way, the roads with two-way three-lane roads were blocked, and at least on the morning of this Double Eleven, it would be impossible to pass.

All the people brought their own dry food and waited for the ceremony to begin while eating. Those with better conditions were servants to serve them, tables, chairs, snacks, and sheds for wind shelter. While eating, they were talking about the so-called train.

"Do you think this train is burning?"

"Nonsense, you can't burn a fire, can you call a train? I don't know this common sense, where did you come from?"

"I came here to do business by Qin Di. I happened to meet him. I have never heard of him before."

"Oh, Qin came to do business? It is said that Governor Hong reorganized his army in the northwest and needed a lot of supplies. Many Qin people took the opportunity to get rich. I'm right?"

"Haha, a little business is now peaceful and the people are safe and the court does not do business, so life is really much better." The Qin merchant said with a smile, "If it were the past, don't say that it will go out, the family will be safe. Fortunately, the emperor is wise!"

Hearing what he said, the people in the capital who were talking to him, a tall man nodded and said proudly: "That's not! The emperor is wise and powerful. Not to mention leading the army to fight, just this is the train that was proposed by the emperor and guided the prince. This thing is amazing!"

"What a powerful method?" Qin merchants heard this and said curiously, "I seemed to have heard in the hometown association that the court would also build roads to the northwest, and there would be this train!"

The tall man smiled and immediately introduced: "I tell you, this train is said to be a carriage that can hold five or six two horses! And you don't have to worry about getting sick, you can also walk day and night. Are you awesome?"

"So awesome..."

“…”

They were chatting, and the other people were chatting, and the content was similar.

Overall, the world is stable and the court is not harsh in business, so there are obviously more people doing business.

The people in the capital obviously know a lot more than those from other places. Many people took the opportunity to show off their knowledge, started talking about the boiling of a kettle, talked about various natural knowledge, and even talked about the affairs of the Imperial College and Western Yi. Of course, trains are always the center of the topic.

However, most of them had never seen steam trains with their own eyes, so they started to run the trains and make nonsense according to their imagination.

At the train station at the North Gate of the Beijing Shishi, the trains are still parked inside the hangar, and people outside cannot see them.

While they were waiting, the Jinyiwei finally appeared, and the emperor led all civil and military officials out of the city.

When the emperor appears, there are naturally some etiquettes that should be there. Because it is a festive day, the shouts of "Long live my emperor, long live my life, long live my life, long live my life," were filled with joy.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen brought the queen and two noble concubines out of the palace together. The prince produced it, which also made them happy together.

According to the customs of later generations, it should be a ribbon-cutting ceremony. However, this did not conform to the customs of the East. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to hold a "finishing" ceremony to show his importance.

As soon as the emperor arrived, the hangar gate slowly opened, and the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, the Six Cabinet Departments and other people who were following the emperor were the first to see the locomotive.

However, compared to the people outside, many of them have seen it, so it is not uncommon. At most, they will have a question mark on the capacity of the train.

But the people outside had never seen it before. When they saw the hangar open, there was a little commotion. However, the five cities of the military officers and the Jinyiwei were maintaining order, which quickly calmed down.

Emperor Chongzhen walked to the platform beside the locomotive, looked at the court officials below, and said happily: "The official launch of steam trains will inevitably greatly change the current traffic situation in our Ming Dynasty and will profoundly affect the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty. I can even say that the lives of people all over the world will be changed by the emergence of this train. The great significance of the launching of this steam train cannot be overemphasized, so I decided..."

Speaking of this, he dragged the long voice down, looked at the happy prince, and then said loudly: "Crown Prince Zhu Cilang is the master of the machine and received a hero medal from the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cilang was a little surprised when he heard this, but then he was very happy. It was not that he valued how much benefits this title of master could bring him, but that his efforts over the past two years have been recognized by his father.

Queen Zhou was also very happy to hear this. Her son was promising and was recognized by his father, which was the most gratifying thing for her, who was a mother.

Emperor Chongzhen then gave a reward, and everyone who built the steam train had commemorative medals and medals to receive. Officials and craftsmen in key positions also had title rewards. However, there was only one grandmaster medal.

In a corner of the railway station, there is a place distributed to the Imperial College. Those Imperial College students, including those Western barbarians, all showed envy in their eyes when they saw this scene.

For them, they all knew the principle of this steam train. Thinking that through natural knowledge can we create a steam train and can also get the title of Ming Dynasty, many of them have a sense of urgency in their hearts, just thinking that they can learn and apply it and make some achievements.

After this award ceremony, it is the real "finishing" ceremony.

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the red pen that Zhu Cilang personally took, dipped it in vermilion ink, and then turned around to the exposed locomotive, and clicked the two dots representing the two eyes.

Then, the train burned coal, and after a while, steam spewed out, like a monster swallowing clouds and foggy, slowly unloading the hangar.

At this time, even Emperor Chongzhen would give way to the steam train.

Everyone's focus was on this steam train. I saw a spitting machine slowly driving out, behind him, dragging a very long box, and then a very long box, and...

No one expected that the train was like a centipede, and there were many chains, which looked really beyond their expectations.

After the trains were all out of the hangar, they stopped slowly. The carriage that had been waiting beside them, and at the command, they began to approach the train. It can be seen that they were trying to transfer the things on the carriage carriage to the train.
Chapter completed!
