Chapter 12 Daming's Steam Locomotive

At Imperial City Railway Station, Chu Qi saw a steam locomotive for the first time in this world. This was a steam locomotive made by the inventor of the Ming Empire!

A steel monster was lying on the rails, and the dragon totem was engraved on the front of the motorcycle, and the words "Apocalypse" were carved under the dragon totem!

"The Apocalypse Three Steam Locomotive was invented by our Ming engineers ten years ago. The axle type is '0-6-0', that is, there are six driving wheels, no guide wheels and subordinate wheels. The locomotive weighs 60,000 kilograms and the coal water truck mass is 57,000 kilograms."

Chu Qi took the Jinyiwei to inspect the steam locomotive in advance to prevent anyone from installing explosives on it. The stationmaster of Huangcheng Railway Station introduced the steam locomotive to Chu Qi at this time.

The Apocalypse Three Steam Locomotive is the third generation of "0-6-0" shaft steam locomotive, which means that there were two generations of this shaft steam locomotive before this.

The technological heritage of the Ming Empire was astonishingly powerful.

Jinyiwei, who searched for explosives and other suspicious objects in each carriage, came to report to Chu Qi: "Sir, no explosives were found in the carriage."

"Are there any inspections on the chassis and above the carriage of the locomotive?"

"Everyone has been inspected, and no explosives have been found."

"Okay, stop the team and inform the Crown Prince and a group of officials to get on the bus."

After Chu Qi confirmed that there was no problem with the steam locomotive, he got off the steam locomotive and asked the Jinyiwei to deploy next to the steam locomotive. He was waiting at the door of the steam locomotive, waiting for the crown prince and imperial officials to get on the bus.

He is a Jinyiwei Qianjia, a fifth-rank official, and is already a high-ranking official in the eyes of ordinary people. However, on the list of the envoys to the East Shogunate, Chu Qi could not even be ranked.

The status of the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and the Minister of Rites is much higher than that of Chu Yun now.

After a while, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, the Minister of Rites and his group came over and laughed and they got on the car one by one.

The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chenghuan, is now twenty years old, one year younger than Chu Qi. In terms of blood ties, he is still Chu Qi's cousin.

Although the power of the Ming royal family was seized by the cabinet, the Ming royal family was still a symbol of the Ming Empire. Even if the royal family did not have real power, their status was still transcendent, and the Ming royal family was openly enthroned by the vassal king.

On this trip, the royal family sent a crown prince, which already gave the shogunate general a face.

Crown Prince Zhu Chenghuan obviously did not notice Chu Qi, the Jinyiwei. His attention was focused on his conversation with Zhang Wenzheng, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge. The two of them walked into the carriage of the steam locomotive while talking.

When Zhang Wenzheng, a Grand Secretary of the Dongge, passed by Chu Qi, he glanced at Chu Qi intentionally or unintentionally.

Chu Qi also noticed Zhang Wenzheng.

This Grand Secretary of the Dongge was a classmate of his father, Chu Xin, the Minister of War. He was only forty years old and the youngest Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He was one of the six Grand Secretary who could determine the fate of the empire and had more say than the crown prince.

He just glanced at himself. Was it because of his father?

Wei Zuochang, the Minister of Rites, was an old man in his sixties, but he was energetic and had a sharp look.

The Honglu Temple, which is responsible for entertaining foreign guests, has been incorporated into the Ministry of Rites. It can be selected by the Ming Dynasty cabinet as a foreign minister to deal with Western powers. Wei Zuochang must be a shrewd figure like an old fox. His qualifications are even older than Zhang Wenzheng, who served as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge.

In addition to the Crown Prince Zhu Chenghuan, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge Zhang Wenzheng, and the Minister of Rites Wei Zuochang, there was also a general behind him, which shocked Chu Qi slightly.

Liaodong General Li Rushan actually entered the steam locomotive behind the Minister of Rites.

The Ming Empire established the Liaodong Provincial Administration, the Siberian Provincial Administration, and the Quasi-Ger Provincial Administration. It is currently the Sixteen Provincial Administration Secretary of the Two Capitals and the Six Major Vastual States.

The Liaodong general needed to supervise the Dongyang shogunate and the Goryeo Kingdom to reinforce the imperial capital at any time. He commanded 50,000 Liaodong soldiers, of which 10,000 were the powerful ones among the Ming generals.

It seems that this trip to the Toyo Shogunate is destined to be in turmoil.

When Chu Qi saw the big figures of the Ming Empire appear one after another, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

The officials who entered the carriage next were not that high, and there were not many officials who were higher than Chu Qi. After all, Chu Qi was a fifth-rank official.

Chu Qi was thinking about what happened to the Eastern Shogunate, so that the Ming Empire wanted to send a lineup like the crown prince, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, the Minister of Rites, and the General of Liaodong to appease him?

Suddenly Chu Qi smelled a faint fragrance, which was a smell that ordinary men did not have.

A girl came over with a maid, wearing a elegant moon dress and a white gauze dress, revealing her beautiful neck and clearly visible collarbone.

Chu Qi looked at her and was shocked.

Some officials around him respected the girl very much and consciously kept a distance, as if they were afraid of her background.

Could this be Zhang Zhier, the daughter of the Grand Secretary of Dongge, right?

The woman whose name didn't know her name seemed to think of something when she saw Chu Qi wearing a flying fish suit, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

Chu Qi said, "Please come from Miss Zhang."

The girl didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and walked into the car.

Although Chu Qi had never met Zhang Zhi'er, he used "Miss Zhang" to test it just now, and the other party did not deny it. In addition, the other party's age was consistent, so it was very likely that he was the daughter of the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and the female top scorer in the autumn examination this year.

Chu Qi regrets a little now. He wants to be arranged for a marriage now...

Now that the initiative is in the hands of the other party, Chu Qi also needs to find a way to curse the daughter of the Dongge Grand Secretary's Office.

Later, other officials and female relatives got on the bus one after another.

After the envoys used the people to get on the bus, Chu Qi and several hundred households also got on the bus and closed the iron carriage with all their strength.

The Crown Prince, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, the Minister of Rites, and the General of Liaodong were in the most exquisite passenger compartment, while the Chu Qi and Jinyiwei Baihu, the General Banner, and the Small Banner were in the next carriage so that they could appear at the scene as soon as possible when an emergency occurred.

The daughter of the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and other women were in another carriage.

"Mr. Qianhu, I always feel that this time I visited the Dongyang-mian shogunate. Even the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and the General of Liaodong were dispatched. The water in the Dongyang seems to be very deep." Li Yanguang and Guo Yan said to Chu Qi.

"We will do our part in our duties."

Chu Qi held the Xiuchun Knife and leaned against the slightly shaking iron carriage.

Being able to ride a steam locomotive in this world is something I never thought of.

Tianjin Wei and the Ming Empire fleet have sent steam iron armored ships waiting for their arrival.
