The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 239 Eighty thousand troops parade Beiping

The second sister's appointed husband-in-law is Li Rang. The news surprised Zhu Gaochi, but not too much.

My own marriage has changed, and my sister's marriage has also changed. It is possible to happen, but it is acceptable if there is no change.

Unlike the eldest sister, the marriage between the eldest sister and Yuan Rong showed signs very early on, and it cannot be easily changed.

A little girl, if she suddenly knows that she is going to marry a strange man, she will definitely cry, especially in the context of her mother and eldest sister falling in love first and then getting married.

In the little girl's mind, she hopes to be like her mother and eldest sister. Although she dotes on her younger sister, Zhu Gaochi is really helpless on this point.

Although I don't have a good impression of Li Rang.

This person was very purposeful, for his own future, regardless of the safety of his family, although he took refuge in Zhu Di during the Battle of Jingnan, but let his family die in Yingtian Mansion by Zhu Yunqi's knife.

And for the sake of his own power, he supported the future Han king Zhu Gaoxu to compete for the crown prince, and even encouraged him to rebel.

If it wasn't for his early death, when the King of Han rebelled, he must have been by his side.

But Li Rang's talent is undeniable, he is indeed a talent who can undertake great things, Zhu Di entrusted many things to this person.

The nuns in the mansion comforted Zhu Yuegui, but they didn't take it seriously. The little girl would be fine after crying for a few days.

On the contrary, the elder sister Zhu Yuying and the two younger sisters surrounded Zhu Yuegui to enlighten her, and the younger daughters seemed to be serious about it.

These are not on Zhu Gaochi's mind.

Although Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her daughter, so many things came rushing over her head, she had to deal with the enfeoffment and arrange the marriage of her son and daughter, so she could no longer take care of Zhu Yuegui.

Zhu Gaochi didn't intend to intervene in these family matters, and left them all to his mother.

The man dominates the outside and the woman dominates the inside, that's it.

The schedule for the training of the Beiping guards has begun to be discussed, and Zhu Gaochi put forward new requirements. This time, it is no longer the guards to do their own thing, but to march to Beiping for a grand review.

After four years, the railways in Beiping Province can't be said to extend in all directions, and most of the areas are still built with simple railways.

Only in some areas with high carrying capacity, horizontal wooden sleepers are used to fix the width of the rails, and vertical wooden sleepers are also used in some railway sections.

in other words.

Most of them stay at the original stage of railways, a few stay at the original advanced stage of railways, and very few stay at the primary stage of railways.

"The carts rattled, the horses were Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians had their bows and arrows at their waists. Ye Niang's wife walked to see each other off, and the dust did not see the Xianyang Bridge."

Zhu Gaochi led the three teams of Changshi Mansion, Beiping Dusi, and China Heavy Industry to search for open areas around the palace and choose a large place for the soldiers of the guard to perform martial arts.

Finally, Zhu Gaochi chose Jingshan to the north of the palace, that is, the Meishan where Chongzhen hanged himself more than two hundred years later.

The current Yanwang Palace is not the later Bauhinia City, and many buildings have no shadows, according to Zhu Gaochi's plan.

The main force left by the three guards of Yanshan and the elite troops of the Shixia Camp were the main force, and the rest of the guards sent elite soldiers.

With a total performance scale of 8 people, with the current layout of Yanwang Palace, there is really no place to accommodate it.

"The little prince is very poetic."

Someone complimented.

On the cliff, Zhu Gaochi stood facing the wind, the corners of his clothes fluttering, and a sword was slung around his waist. At this time, the red sun was rising, and there were great rivers and mountains in front of him.

Behind him are Tang Yun, the veteran left by Zhu Di for Zhu Gaochi, and a group of rookies like Zhu Neng, Ge Cheng from the Changshi Mansion, Jin Zhong and other important officials, and then Chen Heng and other officials from the Peking Capital.

The "gun barrels" and "money bags" of the entire Beiping are in Zhu Gaochi's hands. This time, [-] soldiers who made their own claims paraded the city of Beiping.

If this is done, his prestige in Beiping will reach a new height, and he will have the right to speak in front of Zhu Di.

After all, the position of the eldest son was sealed by the emperor's grandfather himself, and even Zhu Di has no right to dismiss him, which is completely different from the previous situation of being attached to Zhu Di.

"Railway transportation has great benefits. Traditional marching will cause great damage to military strength and morale, but using railways to transport troops can not only quickly mobilize troops, but also maintain the physical strength of soldiers, so we have to try it."

Railways are no longer a new thing in Beiping, although most of the common people have still never taken the railway.

But everyone who should know knows it, and many people have a deeper and deeper understanding of railways, unlike the strangers at the beginning.

It was also the first time Zhu Gaochi mentioned that he was not afraid to learn from Ying Tianfu, because time was too late.

Not to mention the speed of news dissemination, even if the people from Ying Tianfu came to learn immediately, they might have just laid the foundation, and it would be too late to play a role, and it would be cheaper for themselves.

New things will inevitably bring about new problems, and big drills are a major military and national event, which cannot be sloppy. Therefore, the commander Chen Heng reminded: "There are too many people, and [-] soldiers have to take the railway from all over Beiping, I am afraid it will lead to mistakes. .”

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes are not terrible. As long as you can correct them in time, it will be conducive to development. What you are afraid of is that you would rather not change, just to avoid mistakes."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

"Since the little prince has made a decision, we will definitely follow suit!" Tang Yun stepped forward to support him, his thinking was different from Chen Heng's.

The little prince was granted the title of son, and it was the first time he presided over a major event in the name of the son. For the sake of the reputation of the little prince, he must do his best to help.

There are quite a few people who think like him, all because of the prestige accumulated by Zhu Gaochi over the years.

Chen Heng just reminded the young prince, not to sing a different tune. Tang Yun's statement made him a little displeased, so he didn't say any more.

"Okay, I understand everyone's intentions, it's all for the public heart of the palace!" Zhu Gaochi made a decision.

People below have conflicts, as the superiors cannot let it happen.

How to use the contradictions of the people below to consolidate one's own power depends on the actual situation, and adopts different strategies according to local conditions, rather than copying them regardless of the situation.

"The [-]-strong army is going to fight Beiping City. Although I'm not afraid of making mistakes, it's best if I don't make mistakes. All of you should work together to handle this matter well."

"promise!"

The crowd shook hands.

It was China Heavy Industries who made the first noise. The engineering department sent an elite construction team to measure the area between Jingshan and Wangfu.

In just half a month, a large piece of flat land should be sorted out, and a patrol platform should be built under the protruding half of Jingshan.

At the same time, special commissioners were dispatched to various stations, and full-time soldiers arrived in Peiping by railway.

Count the lists of the guards to mobilize the railway carriages and concentrate their efforts to carry out a project of [-] soldiers at the same time.

Zhu Neng was appointed as the person in charge of this matter, and China Heavy Industry cooperated with him.

Facing the imperial decree issued by the prince on behalf of the prince, no one in the guards raised any objections, let alone objected, as if everything was a matter of course.

When the official document from the capital and the imperial decree from the Changshi Mansion were received, dozens of guards in Beiping started to move.

Don't look at the little prince's smile, as if he is very friendly, but the tone of the official document of Beiping Dusi and Changshifu is extremely strict, whoever dares to make a loophole in the martial arts performance will be severely punished.

No one dares to use their future to test the consequences.

The Kaiping guard also wanted to participate. The railway there was still under construction and was not open to traffic, so they marched to Miyun and took a railway carriage in Miyun.

Then Kaipingwei and Miyunwei negotiated the marching process of the two sides, and communicated with the railway station about boarding.

This kind of scene is happening all over Beiping.

As for the National Guard of the Ming Dynasty, either under the leadership of the Wangfu and the Dusi, conduct the same drills as usual, or in the Dusi and Bingbei Road. Gong, Bingbeidao, such as Yunnan, have all started.

No one has the energy to pay attention to the changes in Beiping. The attention of the people in Yingtianfu was drawn by King Qin, and they couldn't care about King Yan at all.

The king of Qin led the drills of the Shaanxi guards this year, and would send a signal to the military households of the Shaanxi guards.

He, King Qin, is back again, and the sky above their heads has changed back to before, which will further consolidate King Qin's military power.

In all parts of Beiping, more and more riders were rushing back and forth, driving up the dust on the roads, making the atmosphere tense and full of chilling spirit.

The speed of the railway carriage is really not as fast as that of a single rider.

The red sun is setting.

In the thatched hut, through the long reeds, it is like a red world, and the two guests in the hut are dressed in ordinary clothes, like country gentlemen.

Outside the hut, several followers waited.

"The spring scenery of the Jinjiang River comes to the world, and the floating clouds on the jade base change from ancient to modern." Peiping inspector Wang Li couldn't help sighing.

Wang Li wears the octagonal scarf that is popular among scholars and Taoists, and wears the old clothes of Taoists. If you don't know him, you can only regard him as a country gentleman with a heart for Taoism.

On the stone table, opposite Wang Li was none other than Shen Kui, the right chief envoy of Beiping Chief Secretary. His expression was not as serious as Wang Li's, and he seemed very casual.

Compared with Wang Li's impatience, Shen Kui's behavior is more in line with the Taoist priest's style of idle clouds and wild cranes.

"The North Pole court will never change, and the Xishan bandits will not invade each other. If the prince reads this and the next sentence less, the meaning will be very different."

On the stone table, there were food and wine arranged by the servants. In this wild place, it was quite interesting. Shen Kui took a sip comfortably and smacked his lips contentedly.

"Don't brother Shen care at all?" Wang Li asked curiously.

"What's the use of caring?" Shen Kui showed helplessness, "Yan Fantai was so focused on his political achievements that he cooperated very well with the palace."

Wang Li shook his head and said, "It was a big mistake when the imperial court sent this person to take up the important task of Beiping."

"Not always."

"In the eyes of the common people, Yan Fantai is still a good official."

Hearing Shen Kui's words, Wang Li was speechless, and said with a wry smile: "Are we really not going to do anything? We have failed many people's expectations."

"In the past, there was a famous person named Li Xueyan. He contacted many people in Beiping, Daning, and Guangning, and cooperated with the court officials to impeach King Yan. In the end, he caused a commotion. The loss outweighs the gain."

Shen Kui took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Wang Li, and said casually: "To deal with King Yan, you can't use the same means as you used to deal with King Qin, because King Yan is more disciplined than King Qin."

"Abiding by the rules?" Wang Li pointed to the north, in the direction of Beiping City. "Such a big commotion doesn't look like following the rules."

Shen Kui laughed and said: "At present, the one who can deal with the vassal king has to be the vassal king himself. Although the Zhonghua Heavy Industry launched by the Yan Palace, although it does not act against the power of the Yan Palace, it can deceive anyone."

"Now the tentacles have been extended to Shaanxi and Shanxi. I don't mention Shanxi. I think something will happen in Shaanxi soon. The King of Qin is not easy to deal with."

Wang Li was startled, but he hadn't thought about it.

"You mean that there will be conflicts between Qin Palace and Yan Palace?"

Shen Kui nodded.

Wang Li couldn't believe it and was full of doubts, "That's not the case. King Qin and King Yan are both descended from Queen Ma. The brothers grew up together, and their relationship is extraordinary."

"That's why I mentioned Shaanxi, not Shanxi." Shen Kui laughed again: "At present, it is the only way to break the situation. Without Yan Fantai's support, we can't deal with the Yan Palace."

"Ok."

Wang Li was persuaded and pinned his hopes on the King of Qin. This feeling made him very complicated, and he never thought that there would be a day when he could count on the King of Qin.
