Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 645 Beijing-Liaoning Railway
Jinzhou City in southern Liaoning, where Chu Yun made his fortune, was already a thriving scene.Jinzhou City was the first city to start industrialization, and it has been uninterrupted for seven years.At the end of the year, it was snowing heavily, and a train spewing billowing black smoke came galloping from the direction of Liaodong City.

The huge and icy wheels rolled over the snow-covered iron cabinet, and the locomotive pushed the snow away, so that the snow splashed on both sides of the train.

The carriage shook slightly, and the fire inside also shook with the carriage, forming a sharp contrast with the ice and snow outside the carriage.

Chu Yun, the supreme ruler of the Kyushu Army, could see a vast expanse of snow outside through the rough glass windows of the train.

"This time, the heavy snow has continued. I am afraid that many horses and livestock have froze to death on the prairie. The ministries and divisions should remember to send officials and special envoys to the prairie to count the losses of the herdsmen, and allocate money in time for disaster relief."

Chu Yun turned his head and looked at the civil servants and generals in the carriage: "The Mongolian tribe has fought against Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and now they are finally married. We must strengthen the relationship between each other. The relationship between different ethnic groups, and the relationship between husband and wife Like any relationship, it takes business and honesty.”

"What the military leader said is true. The weather in the north has been freezing in the past few years, and it has become colder every year. I have gained experience in the past few years. This year, I have made preparations for the cold before the winter. Thanks to our customs Only when the prairie, the customs, and the prairie are peaceful, can we mobilize enough manpower and financial resources to prevent the cold. If the war continues like ten years ago, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people will die every winter." A civil official asked.

"Well, every cold winter, the northern tribes will inevitably go south. They lack the ability to resist natural disasters and are more vulnerable than our farming civilization. Without livestock and food, they will starve to death if they don't go south to rob food. It's a helpless thing." Chu Yun said.

This time he personally led a group of subordinates to take a steam locomotive from the capital to Liaodong City, and then take the branch railway of Liaodong City to Jinzhou City to inspect the place where the Kyushu Army rose.Of course, the main purpose is to personally experience the railway from Beijing to Liaodong.

As early as a few years ago, in order to strengthen the control over the prairie, Chu Yun had already started to build the Grassland Railway.It's just that the Kyushu Army mobilized many strong men and tribal herdsmen, and the railway expert Zhan Tianyou took the lead in building it. The Grassland Railway has not yet been completed.Because the prairie is too vast, and the Kyushu Army continues to incorporate Mobei and Moxi into its own territory, the prairie railway has become more and more complicated.

So the Great Prairie Railway continued to be built slowly, hoping that one day it would reach West Siberia and even Moscow.Chu Yun expedited the construction of the railway between the capital and Liaodong City, taking the lead in connecting the inside and outside of the pass by railway.Because Liaodong and Liaonan were already building a railway network before Chuyun entered the customs, as long as a railway was built from the capital to connect to the railway network of the Liaoxi Corridor, they could reach Liaodong City all the way, and then go to Jianzhou or Jinzhou.

After the fast-moving train entered the Jinzhou City Railway Station, the speed of the train gradually slowed down, and the steam whistle sounded loudly, reminding the train to enter the station.

As early as at the Jinzhou City Railway Station, the big families and common people of Jinzhou City who knew the news that Chu Yun, the leader of the Kyushu Army, had returned to Jinzhou City to inspect the city gathered here one after another.

"Six years ago, I met Lord Junzhu here. At that time, he passed me by less than three feet away. At that time, I saw a few strong men guarding him, and thought it was from some big family. Young master, I didn't expect to be the Lord of the Army."

"It's good to brag about passing by the military master? When the military master lived in Jinzhou City, our house was on the same street as the military master's mansion, and we could often see the military master leading a group of officials. In and out, it was really crowded at that time. It is a pity that after the army leader led his troops into the pass, he lived in the capital."

"I still miss the time when the military lord was in our Jinzhou City, which made our city that should have been deserted so prosperous. Now that the military lord has focused on the inside of the pass, it is inevitable that he will ignore us outside the pass."

The crowd gathered in Jinzhou City Railway Station talked a lot, which made the soldiers who maintained order around them a little nervous.If someone among them conspired to assassinate the high-ranking Kyushu Army who was about to get off the train, they would cry without tears.Now is the time when the Kyushu Army is the most prosperous and prosperous. If something happens to the highest level, the huge empire is likely to fall into a predicament of falling apart.

When Chu Yun got off the train with his people, the crowd burst into enthusiastic shouts, full of frenzy.If it weren't for the patrol soldiers around to maintain order to stop everyone, I am afraid that the crowded train station would be difficult to move.

Among the crowd, there was a group of people who looked different. Although their Chinese was proficient, they had an accent, and it was not a local accent in southern Liaoning, but the accent of a Korean from across the Yalu River.

"The Lords of Huaxia are really magnificent. They have a vast territory of millions of miles, thousands of miles of railways, and factories abound in a few years. There is also the Anshan mine, which can mine [-] tons of ore every year for smelting iron ore. "A handsome scholar in his early twenties saw that Chu Yun was supported by all people, and Huaxia was becoming more and more prosperous. He couldn't help but envy him, "It would be great if our Koryo country could have half the industry of the suzerain country."

"His Royal Highness, in the past few years, many Chinese businessmen have invested in Korea, and heard letters from the family members of the ministers. They have established logging farms, mining farms, and spinning mills. Some areas in the south have also begun to build new types of fishing grounds, especially The Pusan ​​Port in the southeast, because it is between the Huaxia and Dongying waterways, merchant ships from Jiangsu and Zhejiang can pass through the Pusan ​​Port from the strait in the northern part of Kyushu Island to the Seto Inland Sea to reach Edo Bay.” Another person with a Korean accent said.

The group of them was Li Yi, the eldest son of the King of Korea, and the nobles of Korea who came to the Liaonan Academy of Sciences to study together.They were in an atmosphere full of people's voices, and they all felt the enthusiasm of the people in southern Liaoning.

"Jin Qingzheng, we have been here for many years. We have broadened our horizons and seen many miraculous things that cannot be seen in China. Whenever I think about the backwardness and poverty of my motherland, I feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, we in Korea still call ourselves a small China. Now even I don’t even dare to say small characters.” Said Li Yi, the eldest son of King Koryo.

"What does His Royal Highness Wang Shizi mean?" asked the attendant and courtier known as Jin Qingzheng.

"It's time for us to bid farewell to Chu Yun. Our Koryo country needs our group of people who came to Liaoning Academy of Sciences to go back and build. Even if we can't hope for Huaxia, we should keep up with them, otherwise we will have no face to communicate with each other in the future. " Li Yan said.
