Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"Haha, Lord Chu, you are too polite." The man in black smiled sinisterly, "Aren't you just relying on your little trick of traveling through time to play tricks here? I want to see how long you can be so arrogant!"

"You are so arrogant." Chu Ze snorted coldly, "Let me see your 'real ability' and see whether your dirty tricks are more effective or my 'Time Traveling Marquis' is more talented!"

"Please!"

Before he finished speaking, the queue of soldiers behind Chu Ze suddenly split into a passage.

A lieutenant in armor strode to the top of the city wall, holding a square black box in his hand.

"What is this?" The man in black was stunned.

"Humph, aren't you going to compete in 'time travel' skills?" Chu Ze sneered, "Then let's compete in 'future technology' to see whose is better!"

As he spoke, the lieutenant opened the box and took out a black thing.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a pair of sunglasses!
I saw him wearing it on his face, covering most of his face, which was really scary.

"Damn, isn't this the outfit of 'X-Force'?!" The man in black took a breath and his face suddenly changed.

"Haha, this is the standard equipment for the police in the 21st century," Chu Ze said leisurely, "night vision goggles, lie detectors, detectors, everything is available, it is the most powerful weapon to restrain spies!"

"Your Excellency, don't you want to compete with me on 'future technology'? Then please accept my greeting - infrared scanning!"

Following Chu Ze's order, the lieutenant general wearing sunglasses slowly raised his right hand and pressed a switch on the frame.

In an instant, two infrared rays shot out and enveloped the man in black!

"Oh my god! It's over! I fell into a trap!"

The man in black was terrified and hurriedly reined in his horse to leave, but it was too late.

After hearing a few "beep" sounds, the infrared light quickly scanned his body, and then lines of data popped up on the general's sunglasses:

"Tatar military advisor, true identity: a notorious bandit, reward of five thousand taels!"

"Carrying prohibited items: opium, some poison, and a musket."

"The human body data is abnormal, suspected to be disguised, please take him down for interrogation immediately!"

"Report to the Marquis, this man is indeed a spy assassin!" The lieutenant shouted, "Kill him!"

Before he finished speaking, thousands of crossbows were fired from all directions, and a rain of arrows whistled towards him!

The man in black screamed in agony, was hit by several arrows, and fell to the ground with his horse.

Chu Ze rode slowly over on horseback, looking down at the dying assassin coldly.

After a long while, he sneered, "You are just a big-name bandit, and you dare to call yourself a 'time-traveling military advisor'? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Are you worthy enough to fight with me?"

"Damn you, bastard, the Ming Dynasty..." The man in black cursed a few words incoherently, rolled his eyes, and took his last breath.

Chu Ze said "Pah" in disgust at the corpse, turned around and ordered: "Cut off the head of this troublemaker and hang it on the city gate for public display! Tell the world that the Ming Dynasty will not tolerate provocations from Tatar spies!"

"Yes!" The generals responded and dragged the body away.

"The Tatars are so shameless that they actually want to deceive people by pretending to be a 'time traveler' and plot evil."

Chu Ze stared into the distance and said in a deep voice:
"Never mind. Today's battle will surely dispel their wishful thinking of relying on 'future' technology to change their fate. But..."

"My lord, it's just what?" A confidant behind him came forward and asked.

Chu Ze turned around and sighed quietly:

"From the enemy's words and actions, they seem to have some idea about the things in the 21st century. I'm worried that there may be some time-travel expert behind them who is helping them."

As he spoke, his eyes became stern, and he said grimly, "Come here, immediately send spies deep into the heart of the grassland to thoroughly investigate every move of the Tatars! If you find any clues, report them immediately!"

"promise!"

At a command, several riders on fast horses galloped away and disappeared into the morning mist in a blink of an eye.

Chu Ze stood on the top of the city wall for a long time, watching their backs as they left, and he couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. He knew very well that he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of promoting the modernization of the Ming Dynasty, and this road was destined to be full of thorns.

But as a time traveler, he has the responsibility to use advanced knowledge and technology to bring the dawn of change to this era.

"Zhao Si, prepare the car, we are setting off for the capital." Chu Ze ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Enterprise is ready and can depart at any time." Zhao Si replied respectfully.

Chu Ze arrived at the train, where Li Changji and Li Si were already waiting.

"You two, thank you for your hard work along the way. Without your technical support, the Enterprise's dream would never have come true," Chu Ze said sincerely.

"It is our honor to be part of creating such a miracle of the times." Li Changji said excitedly, "I believe that with the 'Enterprise', the prince's new policies will surely benefit the people of the whole country."

The whistle sounded and the Enterprise slowly drove out of Fengyang Railway Station.

People along the way lined the streets to see them off. They had never seen such a magical "train" and everyone's face was filled with longing and hope.

“I can’t believe my eyes!”

"This isn't a train, it's a running dragon!"

"I heard that this was invented by Prince Chu. With it, we only need one day to get to the capital!"

The people were all talking and praising the Enterprise.

The train sped across the vast plains, through the mountains and across the rushing rivers.

The railway is like a silver dragon, closely connecting Fengyang with the capital.

Officials from counties and prefectures along the way also boarded the train to visit and marveled at this new miracle of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty the Prince of Chu is indeed a capable and knowledgeable minister of state. This pioneering work will surely go down in history!" a county magistrate said with emotion.

"We must learn from Fengyang, vigorously develop the railway industry and promote the local economy." Another prefect was eager to try.

In the blink of an eye, the Enterprise arrived at the Beijing Railway Station.

The people of the capital had already received the news and were flocking to the platform, wanting to catch a glimpse of the "running dragon".

When Chu Ze stepped out of the car, cheers came like a tide.

"Long live Prince Chu!"

"Thanks to Prince Chu, it now only takes one day to get from Fengyang to the capital!"

"With the Enterprise, our lives will surely get better and better!"

Chu Ze smiled and waved to everyone.

He knew that this was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go to promote the modernization process of the entire Ming Dynasty.

But with the support and trust of the people and like-minded colleagues, he is confident that he can overcome the obstacles ahead.

"Let's go to the palace to report on our work." Chu Ze said to Zhao Si.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already set up a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, waiting for Chu Ze's arrival.

"My dear minister, you have finally arrived! I can't wait to hear about Fengyang's new policies." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"I don't deserve it. It's only because of your Majesty's repeated reminders that I can do something practical for the people." Chu Ze said respectfully.

"I heard that you, my dear minister, have presided over the creation of a magical device called 'train', which can travel a thousand miles a day and is as fast as a dragon. I wonder if this is true?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty is right. This steam locomotive, the Enterprise, was invented by me and the skilled craftsmen of Fengyang."

"With it, not only can the speed of passenger and freight transportation be greatly accelerated, but it can also promote regional economic development and strengthen cultural exchanges."

"I believe that if railway transportation can be promoted throughout the country, people all over the world will be able to taste the sweetness of modernization." Chu Ze spoke eloquently. (End of this chapter)
