Chapter 137: Can Chen Ying Fly in Three Days and Three Thousand Miles?
Chapter 137 Can Chen Ying fly in three days and three thousand miles?
Changsun Wugui is a very smart person. She stood outside and saw more clearly. Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Du Yan and others calculated everything, but only one Chen Ying was missed.
It was Chen Ying, who originally had a sure victory, and eventually lost. At the most critical moment, Chen Ying had his own strength to change his destiny and turn the tide.
Now, these people are far behind Li Shimin at the time. They have neither Cheng, Qin, Niu, Xie, Duan, Lei Zhiyong nor Fang, Duan, and Xue Zhimo. What's more, Chen Ying has come from Anxi, and those people may not have calculated that Chen Ying will come back at this time, so they are destined to be happy.
Although Li Jiancheng will be generous, he will be kind to women.
However, Chen Ying would not. At that time, the entire Chang'an would definitely be bloody and people would be booming.
Changsun Wugui sighed and said, "Yinyin, let's go back!"
Su Yin muttered, holding a chicken leg and gnawing at her big mouth, "Madam, you seem to be afraid of Ah Lang..."
When Changsun Wugui heard this, he suddenly remembered the beginning of the time when he wanted to protect his children and please Chen Ying. But Chen Ying suddenly discovered his existence and reached out to pinch his throat. The feeling that made him almost suffocated made Changsun Wugui still unforgettable.
Before he knew it, Changsun Wugui's face seemed to be covered with thick layer of rouge.
Su Yin was puzzled as he listened to Changsun Wugui's heavy breathing.
After a long time, Changsun Wugui sighed.
She still remembers the time she had gone through the gates of hell.
Although Li Shimin had a violent temper, he had never been rude to her. On the contrary, he respected each other as guests.
People are so strange that what they can't get is always the best. Changsun Wugui's feelings for Chen Ying are not love or hatred, but the stimulation of walking around the gates of hell.
Changsun Wugui knocked on the table.
Su Yin was still eating chicken legs leisurely and drinking tea soup. Seeing Changsun Wugui calling him, Su Yin said anxiously: "Madam, you can give me instructions!"
"Eat...eat...eat, you will know how to eat. Be careful not to get married!" Changsun Wugui lit Su Yin's forehead and pretended to be fierce.
Unfortunately, Su Yin was not attracted to Changsun Wugui's threat.
Su Yin muttered while eating: "My wife was born in a wealthy family and had never been hungry... You don't understand. If a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything!"
Changsun Wugui stroked Su Yin's little head and said, "Don't think so much, eat whatever you want, we won't get married!"
...
Practical combat is always the best experiment.
In order to meet Chen Ying's need to return from Anxi, Shule Academy couldn't wait to pull out the No. 5 prototype to experiment. Compared with the other four prototypes, the No. 5 prototype has very obvious improvements. First of all, there are more train cars that can be hung, reaching an astonishing forty-eight columns.
Among them, three cars are loaded with water, five cars are loaded with coal, and forty cars are used to carry people or cargo. The most important thing is that the cargo capacity is amazing, and it can carry 1,200 cargo. If it is loaded with grain, it will be as much as 24,000 stones.
These two steam engine trains, named "Bison", started from Shule Station and continued to stop. They relied entirely on the coal and water they carried. After driving for more than 900 miles, they arrived at Kucha City Railway Station.
It looks like it is almost 940 miles, and it took only three hours and another moment. In terms of conversion, the average speed has reached 75 kilometers per hour.
The Bison has fully achieved operational value.
Chen Ying decided to take the Bison from Kucha and return directly to Chang'an.
After an hour of stopping to load water and coal in Kucha, Chen Ying and his family boarded the Bison and began their journey back.
When the Bison returned to Chang'an, he not only brought Chen Ying and his family, but also more than 3,000 guards, who consumed a lot of food, drink, and defecation. Due to the first trip, it was inevitable that the train would have problems. Qi Nuo led more than 100 craftsmen and more than 500 craftsmen on the No. 4 prototype. Carrying a large number of accessories, grain and drinking water, he followed thirty miles behind the Bison.
Of course, the energy efficiency of the Fatty is far lower than that of the Buffalo. In order to catch up with the speed of the Buffalo, the Fatty could have carried thirty cars, but abandoned ten of them and only twenty of them were mounted. It was considered a light-load navigation.
Under Chen Ying's money offensive, Shule Academy made great improvements, especially the Bison, which not only had faster speeds and stronger load capacity. The key was to save two-thirds of the cost. Although it was an empty load from Shule to Kucha, the cost was less than 300 stale.
Even if you arrive in Chang'an from Anxi, it will be only five or six thousand guan. It is evenly shared by everyone, and it will only be two or three guan.
What made Chen Ying feel most uncomfortable was that the secret of this steam engine train could not be kept. Originally, during the experiment, Chen Ying used the army to isolate the people, but during this return trip, he initially heard the steam engine train roaring and roaring, and all the people on the road or nearby residents ran away without a trace.
The escaped people immediately returned, hid on the hillside or behind the trees, and carefully observed the steam engine train.
At first, these people were extremely afraid of this big monster that could make loud noises and emit black smoke, but slowly discovered that this huge steel monster did not eat people and did not offend them at all. After careful observation, these people finally discovered the problem.
The steel monster was hung with the big "Chen" flag, and the flag of Chen Ying's tiger righteousness. The tiger righteousness is a transformation from the darkness to the light.
On the surface, the Tiger Yicheng has only three thousand members. In fact, the Tiger Yicheng's team has expanded to ten thousand. If the peripheral members are included, there will be no less than one hundred thousand.
Some of these tigers lurked as Chen Ying’s business names, while others lurked as other businesses, workshops, powerful men, and even beggars.
The flag of the tiger's righteousness is a roaring tiger's head, majestic. Only then did the people suddenly realize it.
——This monster is General Chen’s mount!
The people of Anxi will never be afraid of Chen Ying.
If we talk about the Anxi Army, it seems that there are some shadows from later generations. When the people encounter severe wind or snow disasters, they will also come forward to rescue the disaster, but they will not do anything like building bridges and paving roads.
Many people found that it was Chen Ying on the train and immediately shouted around the road: "It's Chen Dadu Protector, Dadu Protector..."
The people were so excited that they danced by the road, and as time went by, more and more people were crowded.
Chen Ying discovered a fatal problem at this time.
In order to save trouble, this road was built the same way as the ordinary roads. Even the carriages on the tracks were on their own and did not interfere with each other.
However, the speed of the carriage is about twenty-five or thirty miles per hour, but the Bison is about seventy-five kilometers high. If you encounter an accident, you may not have time to brake.
At the beginning, Chen Ying just ordered people to clear the carriages on the road, but did not clear the pedestrians or the people. In the event of an accident, Chen Ying's crime would be serious.
To this end, Chen Ying had to order people to slow down the speed and notify the personal guards ahead to open the road along the way.
The train speed slowed down, and the people, gentry, merchants were cheering excitedly: "Master, Chen Dadu!"
Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying who was still calm and smiled and said, "I didn't expect my husband to be so popular in Anxi!"
Li Xiuning was also surprised that Chen Ying was definitely not a good person. He had a reputation for making children stop crying in Anxi, but the people were so kind to him.
"It's average!" Chen Ying said with a proud look: "Once the Great Protector is an official, to benefit the people and protect them from their safety, they are also grateful. If the hearts of these people can reach the heavens, our Chen family can become the guardian of Anxi County!"
Chen Ying killed more people in Anxi, but he saved more people. The people of Anxi obtained their own wealth, life safety, and status because of Chen Ying. The most important thing is respect.
In Anxi, no one is allowed to appoint the Tang people as slaves, whether they are merchants or gentry, and use the Tang people as slaves, and pay heavy taxes. Once discovered, a fine of 100,000 yuan will be fined.
Now no one in Anxi dares to use the Tang people as slaves, but they cannot afford it. The wealth of the middle-aged and rich is not that they cannot afford it. The key is that this law is very deceptive, and it is a fine every year. A person can live for 40 or 50 years, with 40 or 5 million yuan, and even Chen Ying can't afford it.
...
The Xizhou Dao District of Tingzhou, the Xizhou Daoxingtai Shangtai Shangshu Youpushe, and the champion general Xue Wan was in trouble.
Chen Ying wants to enter the pass.
Moreover, he led three thousand fully armed troops back to Chang'an, but Li Jiancheng had no imperial edict yet.
"If you don't let Chen Ying go there?" This is a headache for Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche's real purpose in coming to Xizhou Road was to check and balance Chen Ying. Now Chen Ying informed him that he wanted to pass through the border and enter the pass.
Fortunately, Xue Wanche's head was not given in vain, so he took the decision to drag it out.
While complaining to Chen Ying, Xizhou Road encountered a drought and its food was sharply reduced. There was no food to support thousands of healthy soldiers under Chen Ying's command. Chen Ying asked Chen Ying to solve the food problem.
This is actually a very nonsense problem. It takes more than 3,000 miles from Shule to Tingzhou. If the food required to transport 3,000 troops can be loaded at least thousands of vehicles. After all, 3,000 miles will cost too much.
Although Chen Ying had food, it took time to prepare a carriage and mobilize the civilians. As long as August passes, there will be snow in August, and Chen Ying looked at Chang'an and could only sigh.
But in the end, Xue Wanche was still disappointed, and his drag-on technique failed.
Just three days later, Chen Ying sent another message to Xue Wanche that he had arrived at the Guliugu Capture City.
It is less than two hundred miles away from Tingzhou.
