Chapter 1337 Light Vehicle
Buta Shili is still young, but his marriage has always been considered, especially in the eyes of the third lady in Guihua City.

But don't care if Buta Shili is still the third wife, even Buta Shili's elder brother Qi Qingha never thought about asking Buta Shili to find a wife in the imperial palace of the Ming Empire.

But Wanli thought so.

One evening, the Imperial Forest Army dispatched a hundred cavalry guards to escort five light vehicles to Xiangshan.

The so-called light car is a new gadget of Wanli, and it is also one of the standard vehicles of the palace guard Huode Xingjun.

Nowadays, riding Huodexingjun is not exclusive to the emperor. Although Zhou Sijing of the Steam Bureau puts his main energy on the Qinglong Army column, Huodexingjun has been a small car for Wanli from the beginning, and has been developing and innovating to promote each other. .

Today, there are four types of Huode Xingjun that are finalized in the palace, divided into light vehicles and heavy vehicles, and there are two types of these two types, which are used by Wanli and Gongwei.

Wanli's light car has a simple structure, with a barrel boiler in the front, four-wheel rear drive, and two or three rows of seats. It was designed and modified by Wanli, so in order to conform to his driving habits, the left and right sides are symmetrical, and the front dragon seat can only be driven by one person. , the single row of seats at the back can seat two people, there is glass in the front and a folding curved soft top in the back, and there are thick canvas doors and glass windows with wooden frames on both sides, which are used for shelter and heat preservation on the way to school in rainy and snowy weather.

The boiler and the car have wooden faucet shells, with exaggerated shapes and luxurious interiors. There are two types in winter and summer. The main reason is that the exhaust pipes are located differently.

The whole vehicle weighs 440 kilograms and has the strength of 24 people. With only a small bucket of coal, it can carry three people forward quickly, with three speeds per hour, 55 miles, [-] miles, and [-] miles.

The shock absorption of the body is completed by the elasticity of two connected arc-shaped steel plates on the frame. Different wheels are used in different weathers. There are studded iron wheels in rainy and snowy weather, and rubber iron wheels in normal times. Horses and cows pull.

Gongwei's light vehicles are simpler, some have painted tiger-shaped wooden shells, and some have no paint or shell at all, and only the rear seats have thin iron doors with shooting holes to increase the carrying capacity. Five people, the same power is one gear slower than the emperor's car.

The two shooters in the back row use handguns, and the two warriors with bows and knives stand or sit next to the imperial guards in the front row, taking part of the patrol and guard functions.

As for the heavy vehicles, they are the ones that Wanli sat on during the military parade. They are heavier, slower, and can mount Franco cannons on them. Now it is only a development trend, which only exists in Qianqing Palace and Beiyang Research Institute.

Today, there are 64 palace guard light vehicles in the Forbidden City. They all use composite boilers with copper cores and iron shells. Copper boilers burn quickly but are not pressure-resistant. The heat conduction makes the vehicle start and warm up [-]% faster, and then it is officially put into large-scale use.

Wanli's next plan is to push light vehicles into the homes of ordinary people. This point of view coincides with that of Beiyang's Ye Mengxiong. Now they are making a light vehicle that is lighter, slower, more secure and cheaper. Make it put into civil and commercial use.

For this reason, Wanli allocated 12 taels of silver to Ye Mengxiong, and the emperor's internal treasury will be 3000% of the revenue generated in the future.

The speed of the light car is not as fast as riding a horse, but it is faster than a horse-drawn cart, and its speed is constant. As long as the road conditions permit, it can run at a constant speed without the bumps of the horse. Wanli likes it very much.

It's just that this way of driving may not be liked by others. Don't dignitaries and merchants buy light cars and drive them by themselves?Others must like to take a car, so Wanli himself likes to drive.

He wished he could drive the palace guards aside and drive forward with full steam.

This emperor is out of tune with the world.

Last year, there was a ruined temple on Xiangshan Mountain. The local people said that the temple was haunted by ghosts. The public opinion was very popular. No one in the local officials dared to say anything. After all, this area is the royal mausoleum, which is dedicated to burying the princes, princesses and some emperor concubines who died early. .

Even the magistrate of Shuntian was alarmed, saying that he was going to stay in a ruined temple for a night to suppress the evil spirits with his whole body of righteousness.

As a result, Wanli found out, and he said don't worry, I will suppress it.

Others thought that this would be a good story for future generations, but Master Wanli took down the temple the next day.

A thousand household artillery teams of the Royal Forest Army were dispatched, and the surrounding security was cleared, and the three-eyed cannon was fired three times in a row in front of the formation.

General Zhenshuo of 24 gates bombarded at a fixed point, and then five 24-mounted Shenwei rockets saturate their aim and threw two large-charged grenades towards the last crumbling temple wall.

When the dust settled, eight more bundled [-]-jin dynamite packs were placed at fixed points, and they were all cleaned up with a bang, leaving only the broken tree and a few big pits.

In the end, he also said that he is the Emperor Zhenwu, the Heavenly Venerable Demon Slayer, and the Nine Heavens Subduing Demon Patriarch. He performed a special ritual and said to the people: If there is any evil spirit here to make trouble, you can come to me.

The perfect combination of the entire feudal superstition and modern science.

Just such an emperor, Buta Shili had been with him for a long time and almost lost himself. Wanli asked him if there was anyone in the palace who wanted to marry back to be a princess. Such a simple question directly made the little prince of Shunyi question his life.

"I have, I have not, Your Majesty, have I?"

Wanli was very satisfied with Buta Shili's answer, raised his hand and patted the little prince's shoulder, and said: "You have it, I will analyze it for you, why you have it, sit down."

Buta Shili sat obediently aside, and Wanli immediately sat in the pavilion in the mountain, but before he could speak, King Lu raised his hand and said, "Brother Emperor, I have it too, I have it too!"

"You have a fart, fix the car and change the oil for me."

Lu Wang put his hands together: "Okay!"

Dian Dian went down the mountain.

"There is a lama in Wu Sizang who has an agreement with the old Shunyi king. His reincarnated soul boy will be born among the old Shunyi king's descendants, so you all believe in the Yellow Sect, and Yongxie Bubu will be stationed in Qinghai." Wanli clapped his hands and looked at At the foot of the mountain, the address of the Sanzhou Palace was under construction. The torch said: "You have seen the map, and you know where Qinghai is."

"With Mongolian iron cavalry, the big lama can control the power of Uzbek. The people there can't fight, but it's hard to get in by force. Although they are very good, I still want to set up a county there. Once the one in your family has a child He became the reincarnation of the fourth Lama, what if he wants to rebel in the future?"

"I don't know anyone well, but you are my brother, so you have to get married and have a son. Your princess should be from my palace. I have two sisters, so your child will have Genghis Khan and his son." The blood of Grandpa Taizu."

"If you like palace maids, that's fine too. Then take the time to give birth to a son and raise him in the palace. When he grows up, he will be sent to Uzang with the armored cavalry from Guihua City and my Imperial Forest Army."

"Now you understand? Do you want to marry someone who goes home and becomes a princess?"

Buta nodded and said, "Return to Your Majesty, yes."

"who is it?"

"I am searching!"
