July of the seventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty was relatively calm - at least during this period, the entire Ming Dynasty was relatively stable, and I didn’t hear any natural disasters.

As for man-made disasters, there will be no such thing as when there are no natural disasters and the people can make do with it.

On the contrary, in order to make more money, many people in the entire Ming Dynasty have begun to look at Nuergandus.

After all, the government said that when I went to Nuergandus, I went to fifty acres of Yongye and fifty acres of ration fields.

Yongyetian does not allow any form of resale or investment, otherwise it will be a serious crime once caught, but the ration field is sold casually.

Not to mention whether the land there is valuable or not, at least one hundred acres is very attractive - it doesn’t have to spend a penny on his own, and those who are not more active in this kind of good thing are just fools!

Emperor Chongzhen felt that Xia Ezhe planned to occupy all the territory near the Fishing Sea to immigrate to the border, and then build a garden for himself to escape the summer heat.

At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen thought about postponing the construction of the garden. After all, the construction of the garden must require manpower, and it also needs to occupy the cement, steel and other materials that were not much that the Ming Dynasty now had.

But later I thought about it and thought that the pros and cons of building a garden is more beneficial than disadvantages, so it is better to start practicing first.

After all, it is to build a garden for yourself, and there is no security risk. It can be done by the people of the Ming Dynasty without having to occupy Jiannu Bainu Kunlun slaves or something.

Moreover, I have a summer resort in the sea of ​​fishing. For the people who immigrated there, I have a sustenance and support in my heart - the emperor and the garden are here, so I won’t give up on us one day.

This alone can be regarded as endless benefits.

As for the cement, steel, bricks, etc. occupied, it is actually not a big problem. Bricks can be fired on site, and the local steel smelting and cement firing in the Ming Dynasty can also be increased accordingly.

Then Liu Xingzuo started to have a headache.

Originally, I took the 400,000 army to Nuergandusi to fight against such a little barbarian, and it felt like I was killing a chicken and using a slaughter. It would be great to fight Jiannu to death directly.

Now, with more than 200,000 people going to move, not only did the number of people become 600,000, but I still have to take on the burden of the nurse.

What’s even more fucking is that there are nearly 10,000 officials and scholars of all levels, all of which are the most deceptive.

Officials, they play elegant things all day long, and they look down on themselves and their warriors - although they also envy the military achievements of their people.

However, if you are envious, you will be able to kill people like you. So, it’s better to save money.

Then Liu Xingzuo, who was in a bad mood, gathered nearly a hundred of his double-flowered red sticks together for a meeting.

The requirements are very simple. You are not allowed to provoke Jiannu, and you are not allowed to chop people by the way. You are honest and safe to send these 200,000 people to the place and then chop people.

Liu Xingzhi and six brothers including Liu Xingpei, Liu Xingji, Liu Xingliang, Liu Xingxian, and Liu Xingbang expressed dissatisfaction - Liu Xingren died at the hands of Jiannu, not to mention that the old mother committed suicide by hanging herself in order to let the brothers run back.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, why don’t you take the opportunity to fight Jiannu to kill him to avenge him?

As for the emperor's head after being beaten to death by Jiannu, it doesn't matter if he faces military law and is beheaded by the emperor for disobeying military orders or arbitrarily provoking border provocations, right?

In short, you, Liu Xingzuo, are afraid of death, brothers are not afraid, you dare not take responsibility, and brothers are resisting themselves, in short, this Jiannu must be killed.

After waiting for Liu Xingzhi and others to finish talking, Liu Xingzuo's face became more and more gloomy: "All it's over? Can I let this general say it now?"

Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and stopped talking, Liu Xingzuo said, "I, Liu Xingzuo, don't want to avenge my mother's great revenge? If I can fight Jiannu to death this time, I will admit it even if I was beheaded.

But think behind you, the 200,000 people of the Ming Dynasty need your protection. You can go and die, don’t involve the people!

Also, think about who are the 400,000 troops you have led? Do you have the combat power of the original Beijing camp? Do you have the combat power of the new army?

To be honest, I don’t have much confidence in my heart to bring these 400,000 troops and 200,000 people to Nurkandus in peace. You are still clamoring to pacify Jiannu?

I don’t know how much pounds I have? I don’t know how many bowls of dry rice I have eaten?”

As Liu Xingzuo got angry, Liu Xingzhi and his brothers were scolded and said nothing. Liu Xingzuo then calmed down and said, "When I was in Shenyang a few months ago, my brothers breathed a little. There are more opportunities in the future. Now I will do the tasks assigned by His Majesty first, and think less about these things!"

Liu Xingzuo was eager to scold people. Hong Chengchou was already trying to cut people down at this time - 400,000 people were not enough, so he added another 200,000!

Then Emperor Chongzhen was surprised to find that the prototype of the passenger train began to appear in the Ming Dynasty - yes, it was in the form of passenger transport.

In addition to the absence of high-speed trains, no soft and hard sleepers, and no soft seats, hard seats have begun to appear in the Ming Dynasty...

Moreover, unlike the row of five seats in later generations, the passenger trains of the Ming Dynasty turned into six seats under the request of Hong Chengchou, and there were more people in the carriage.

Hong Chengchou said that he was helpless and was desperate and could only find ways to add more seats and pretend to be more people, and decorate more at once. Anyway, no matter these 400,000 soldiers or the 200,000 people, they would not choose the good or bad seats.

Even if I choose, I don’t see this Shangshu!

That's right, it's just so willful. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty is just the Ministry of Railways, so you can find faults.

Of course, there are some cars that are specially made and are not open to the public at all. Although people take care of them every day, they do not appear on any line at all - the royal carriage is as spacious as possible, and the more comfortable it is.

Even the outer steel plates of these carriages are specially thickened, and unless they are eight-niu crossbows or cannons are very close to each other, they cannot break the defense.

Of course, it is possible to be blown up, and no one can guarantee this.

But if this happens, it is impossible to make such a situation unless the Jinyiwei and the inner factory and the three thousand cavalry of the Xibe tribe collectively rebelled.

Even Emperor Chongzhen went up to take a look after it, and couldn't help but secretly praise the reason why these guys in history can stand out.

Look at Hong Chengchou, and he figured out the meaning of the superiority, and the carriage he created was so awesome, and there was nothing wrong with it.

There is another part that Emperor Chongzhen had never seen before. It was a carriage specially prepared for civil and military officials at all levels for use with the driver when the emperor traveled. It was worse than the royal family, but it was much stronger than ordinary carriages, at least equivalent to the standard of dining trucks in later generations.

Then, Hong Chengchou felt that he was already upset enough, so he was not much more upset, so he simply decided to build the railway eastward, from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuanwei in the northeast, and then to Guangningwei, and then to Haizhouwei, and then to repair two branch lines separately.

One branch line turned south and connected Gaizhou Wei, Fuzhou Wei, and Jinzhou Wei, while the other one went southeast to Dingliao Youwei until Yizhou.

As for the Jiannu's attempt to destroy the railway, Hong Chengchou said he was not worried. The Jiannu now is similar to the grasshoppers in the autumn. If His Majesty hadn't been able to make any move, Jiannu wouldn't have to spend the Spring Festival for the eight years of Chongzhen.

After Hong Chengchou reported the plan to Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen also made a very straightforward stroke of his pen and repaired it!

Isn’t it just a railway? Just build it. The longer you build, the better, and the more you build, the better. As for Jiannu, you don’t have to think about it at all, and you can’t make a fuss.

And good news comes one after another. Not only did the Ming Dynasty not cause any natural disasters during this period, but also good news came from Xinming Island - iron ore was discovered, and the quality was good.

Emperor Chongzhen decided to first refine it on Xinming Island, then transport it back to the Ming Dynasty, and then look at his treasury with heartache and crying secretly.

Zhu Youjian and other guys are good people. They found coal mines on Xinming Island and reported them to themselves. Now that they have found iron ore, they have also reported them to themselves, and they also expressed that they would transport all the iron ore back to the Ming Dynasty.

Good man!

It would be even better if they didn’t need to be rewarded!

But this can only be thought about. After all, merits and demerits must be clearly distinguished in order to convince the public. Several vassal kings will report it back immediately when they discover iron ore. If such a thing is not rewarded well, it will hurt people's hearts.

The problem is that all the seven vassal kings on Xinming Island have to be rewarded, and they can't be light, so they can't be scolded and stingy behind their backs.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen decided that each prince would reward one million taels of silver, each of which would give a pair of palace lanterns, a pair of jade Ruyi, a jade white jade croaker, and three liters of golden rice.

This time, Ma Shi is still the one who announced the imperial edict to Xinming Island.

Although the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian and Eunuch Wei had almost handed over the entire Western Factory to Ma Shi for management, the last time Ma Shi went to Xinming Island made Emperor Chongzhen very satisfied, so he naturally sent him this time.

Then Ma Shi followed Zheng Zhilong's fleet to Xinming Island in a very hard way. The West Factory itself had a big deal, and he had to run to Xinming Island to announce the imperial edict. He threw it in two or three months.

Ma Shima, who was as hard-working as Cao Huachun, felt even more miserable now.

However, Zhu Youjian and others expressed their welcome to Ma Shi's arrival - it was so pleasant to work together to cut people together. It was rare to have such a guy among the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty.

Coincidentally, Ma Shi was very impressed by Zhu Youjian and other princes - such shameless and ruthless guys are hard to find in the Ming Dynasty.

Comparing with these princes, the remaining vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty are just like wasteful snacks, and they don’t look like princes at all.

Although everyone is always holding a prince's airs, no matter how good the airs are, can it be useful? Can it open up the border or expand the land? Or can it allow the people under its jurisdiction to have enough food?

However, these princes on Xinming Island did not feel any merciless when they cut off the barbarians. Ma Shi still remembers the smiles on the faces of His Royal Highness the Tang and others after cutting off the barbarians that day - it was so shameless!

After announcing the order and handing over the things to the eunuchs of the vassal kings on Xinming Island to move, Ma Shi smiled and said, "How is the situation on this island now? Are the princes still happy?"

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "As the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, we came here to transform into a foreign land. We traveled to the mountains and forests to serve the emperor, only loyalty and respectful."

Zhu Zhuohong felt a little unhappy - the last time this dead eunuch came to Xinming Island and robbed each family of 1 million taels of silver. Now His Majesty's reward is only 1 million taels of silver, plus other things.

It means that in addition to the palace lanterns with symbolic meaning greater than actual value, jade ruyi, jade white jade roe and golden rice, the remaining one million taels are equivalent to going out of his own hands and coming back, while Emperor Chongzhen was favorable without any expenses, and he even let him be the good man!

After snorting, Zhu Zhuohong said: "Don't mention it, you can't find a worse broken place than here!"

Originally, Zhu Youjian's words actually showed that Xinming Island is a broken place. If it weren't for his loyalty, no one would have chosen to come here to suffer.

But Zhu Youjian was still very tactful after all. When it came to Zhu Zhuohong's mouth, it was very direct, and he almost said that I regretted this sentence.

But Ma Shi couldn't understand why the faces of these vassal kings looked so ugly - the last time they stifled them, they didn't show off their bad faces.

Curiously, Ma Shi asked, "I don't know what's going on? The prince might as well tell me that after I return to the capital, I can report it to the emperor."

Zhu Youjian had already arranged for someone to prepare food and drinks. Hearing this, he took over the conversation and smiled bitterly: "Even if you report this to Your Majesty, there is no way to do this. It was done by the people below."

After Zhu Youjian said this, Ma Shi was even more curious. Although His Highness, although His Highness, is only thirty years old now, he is an extremely outstanding vassal king in all aspects. What is the big problem that can make him say this?

Ma Shi immediately bowed and said, "Please tell me clearly?"

Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly and said, "What else can it be? Didn't the barbarians on this island be cleaned up? The people under our rule began to go deeper into the island.

All kinds of things I have never seen before emerged, some can eat, and some cannot, but these bastards must be stuffed into their mouths and tasted them first, regardless of whether they can be eaten or not.

Because of this, hundreds of people have died, and they are still dead. I still have nothing to do with what I should eat.
