Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1251, the shock brought by mechanization

Along the flat, spacious, and comfortable concrete road, Ali Pasha, Moses and his party comfortably arrived at Dongji Port on the west bank of the Caspian Sea.

Compared with West Pole Port, Dongji Port is much smaller and less prosperous. Most of the people coming and going are Ming people, and the boats are much smaller. After all, the Caspian Sea is just a large inland lake.

Passed the Caspian Sea smoothly by boat and entered the most affluent and fertile river area in Central Asia.

Inside a four-wheeled carriage, Ali Pasha and Moses kept discussing while looking at the scenery outside the window.

"What a fertile piece of land, but it's a pity that you can't even see individual cigarettes."

Ali Pasha couldn't help sighing.

Because the area in the middle of the river in front of you is lush with water and grass. On both sides of the cement road, you can clearly see that on the endless field, there are green grasses, rivers and streams are constantly meandering, wild sheep, wild horses, and wild camels are very leisurely and comfortable. living in this uninhabited fertile land.

This kind of fertile grassland and land can't see any human habitation. It's simply reckless waste of this rich land in the middle of the river.

"Back then, the Ming Empire swept across the river area from west to east, massacred and expelled all the tribes in the entire river area, and almost cleaned up the river area."

"Afterwards, the Ming Empire immigrated millions to the Hezhong area, and established more than a hundred towns here. Only in the vicinity of these towns can people be seen."

"As for the place far away from the town, there is no one inhabited, and it has become a paradise for these wild sheep, wild horses, and wild camels."

Moses beside him also made sufficient preparations for this eastward journey and learned a lot of information in detail.

"That's right. At the beginning, our Ottoman Empire saw this point and thought it was a good opportunity to seize the Hezhong area, so we sent troops to attack the Hezhong area. In the end, the Ming Empire retaliated violently. Otherwise, how can we deal with the Europeans?" Such an effort."

Ali Pasha nodded solemnly, this is indeed a fertile land, which makes people greedy.

Who wouldn't want to own this fertile mid-river area since ancient times?

The two rivers brought precious water and fertile soil, making this the most fertile area in Central Asia. The grasslands are moistened by melted water from snow-capped mountains, and the aquatic plants are lush. The hard-blooded horses produced here have been famous all over the world since ancient times.

"It's a pity for this fertile land~"

"The Ming people own too much, too much land. Although they have a huge population of hundreds of millions, they are still sparsely populated. They don't have enough people to develop and utilize such fertile land."

Ali Pasha looked at the vast land in front of him, and sighed again and again.

To the Ottoman Empire, the river region, which was so greedy and drooling, was just one of the many fertile lands in the eyes of the Ming Empire. The Ming people still had many, many such fertile lands, so they did not There are not enough people to develop this fertile land.

It can only make this land barren like this, becoming a paradise for wild animals.

Continue along the concrete road running from east to west in the middle of the river. At sunset, Ali Pasha, Moses and the others finally saw the crowds, and they were about to arrive at Longtou Town.

"Lord~"

Ali Pasha asked people to stop the carriage, got out of the carriage in a hurry, and came to a higher hillside, overlooking the land in front of him, his whole mouth was swollen.

As far as the eye can see is a vast and boundless great plain. On this great plain, on both sides of the river, looking up, there are endless wheat fields.

At this time, the golden-yellow wheat reflects charming colors under the setting sun, like a field paved with gold, when a breeze blows, the waves of wheat fluctuate, just like the tide of the sea, the waves are rough.

But none of this surprised Ali Pasha.

What really surprised Ali Pasha was the steam harvesters lined up in the wheat field.

"woooo~"

I saw rows of steam harvesters lined up side by side. With the sound of whistling whistles and billowing steam, the steam harvesters continued to move forward in the fields. Wherever they passed, the wheat was harvested, and then A bag full of wheat is pushed down from the steam harvester, and the straw is separated to one side and arranged neatly.

The speed of the steam harvester is very fast. Dozens of steam harvesters harvest side by side. As soon as they drive past, a large wheat field is harvested, leaving only some bare stubble.

Ali Pasha looked at everything in front of him, and his whole body fell into a sluggish state, watching the steam harvester walking back and forth on the endless wheat fields, and the wheat fields were harvested piece by piece.

In the wheat field, someone came to the cement road with bags of wheat on their shoulders. Here, carriages were waiting for a long time, and they loaded the carts full, and slowly headed towards Longtou Town. go.

"Oh God~"

Moses, a Jew, was also deeply shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

The people of Ming Dynasty have come to such a terrible point, they use this kind of strange machine to harvest wheat, and the speed is so fast.

Dozens of harvesters are just walking around in the wheat field, and a large area of ​​wheat field has been harvested. Look at this endless wheat field.

If it was in Europe or the Ottoman Empire, it would take tens of thousands of people to cultivate such a large area of ​​wheat fields. However, if you look at the fields in front of you, you can't see a few people at all. The wheat harvesting was easily completed.

"What kind of machine is this?"

Ali Pasha shook his head in shock.

What I saw in front of me was far beyond my imagination, how could I harvest wheat like this?
What is this monster that smokes and makes loud noises from time to time?
With all kinds of doubts, Ali Pasha came to the field curiously, wanting to see how these strange big guys harvested wheat.

At this time, the sun had already set, and people who had been busy all day were preparing to return to Longtou Town to rest. Dozens of steam harvesters also stopped one after another after finishing their last trip.

Ali Pasha also quickly seized the opportunity, hurried to the side of the steam harvester, and looked around the steam harvester carefully.

"Haha, haven't you seen our Daming steam harvester?"

Bao Dalang looked at Ali Pasha, Moses and others in front of him, and he could tell by their appearance that they were not from Daming, so he also said with a smile.

Ali Pasha had an interpreter proficient in Daming dialect by his side, so he quickly translated Bao Dalang's words to Ali Pasha and Moses.

"This... sir, what kind of machine is this that can be used to harvest wheat?"

Ali Pasha looked at Bao Dalang in front of him, he was a bit dirty, he knew at a glance that he was an ordinary Ming citizen at the bottom, and he was the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, so he didn't know how to address him.

"Of course it is used to harvest wheat. This is a steam harvester, specially designed for harvesting wheat."

Bao Dalang smiled and nodded, then looked at Ali Pasha and his party, and asked without the slightest fear: "Who are you? What's the matter when you come to our Daming?"

"We are envoys of the Ottoman Empire. We are going to the capital of the Ming Empire to meet the emperor of the Ming Empire."

Moses also hurriedly replied for Ali Pasha. Although the Ming people in front of him were just ordinary people at the bottom, their self-confidence and arrogance, as well as the way they looked at them, seemed to be contemptuous.

"People from the Ottoman Empire?"

"Hum~"

"It turns out that you are from the Ottoman Empire. Back then, you massacred several of our towns and tens of thousands of Han people in our river area. How dare you come to our Ming Dynasty?"

When Bao Dalang heard this, he immediately put away his smile and said with a cold face.

For the World War I that year, people in the middle of the river can remember it firmly, but they don't have the slightest favor for the people of the Ottoman Empire.

"Back then, our Ottoman Empire didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, so we were asking for trouble. You Daming people retaliated and slaughtered hundreds of cities, and you also cede land for compensation. I think this debt should have been paid off?"

Seeing the other party's angry look, Ali Pasha immediately said helplessly.

If you want to talk about hatred, then the Ottomans should remember it even more firmly. I didn't expect these Ming people to remember it more clearly and more firmly.

"Humph~"

"That's your own fault, you deserve it."

"Who wants you to cede land and pay compensation, can our dead relatives be resurrected?"

"Hurry up and finish the work, and go back quickly when you're done."

Bao Dalang didn't look good, he hated the people of the Ottoman Empire and the people in the middle of the river.

"..."

Ali Pasha suddenly had nothing to say. He was also the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire after all. He had a high position and authority. How could he have suffered such anger, and he had nothing to say when he was bullied by a lowly farmer.

But he didn't dare to take any action. This is Daming and the Hezhong area. If he dared to teach the other party a lesson, he probably wouldn't be able to get out alive.

"Hurry up, this is our Daming's machine, you are not allowed to look at it, you have the essence to build it yourself."

Bao Dalang waved his hands again and again and drove them away, which made the guard in charge of protecting Ali Pasha couldn't help but draw out the scimitar in his hand.

"Hey, you guys are still showing your swords. You really think this is the Ottoman Empire, or is it that the lessons I taught you back then weren't enough?"

Bao Dalang didn't hesitate at all, and said with a smile.

"keep it."

Ali Pasha asked his subordinates to put away their knives with a cold face, and finally looked at the huge steam harvester in front of him. He returned to the concrete road very unhappy, got into his carriage and continued to move forward.

"The Ming Empire, as well as these huge machines capable of harvesting wheat, as well as the legendary train, it seems that this trip to the east is something to watch."
