There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 578
Kaifeng Mansion was full of excitement.

Duan Yu, the monarch of Dali Kingdom, has arrived.

Duan Yu, the former monarch of the Dali Kingdom, and some of the courtiers of the Dali Kingdom, under the escort of the Qilin Army, finally arrived at Jiangling Mansion after stumbling along the way.

After arriving at Jiangling Mansion, the speed of the trip accelerated, more than speeding up, it was like flying.

I tasted some local delicacies in Jiangling City, and at noon, I ate the stir-fried dishes that are now popular in the Song Dynasty in Jiangling. The taste made everyone burst into tears. I never thought that the world would be so delicious. It's only been a few years, and there have been so many changes in the Great Song Dynasty.

After lunch, Duan Yu and the group were escorted to Jiangling Railway Station.

Just at this point, an air-conditioned express train departing from Jiangning and bound for Kaifeng Prefecture arrived in Jiangling.Because of the special situation of Dali Kingdom here, the train temporarily stopped in Jiangling for an hour, and three clean air-conditioned carriages were specially vacated to receive Duan Yu and some Dali courtiers.

These people from Southwest Dali saw the train for the first time, and saw this big guy whose whole body was made of iron.

Especially when the Qilin Army and Jiangling Mansion's welcoming team welcomed Duan Yu and the others into the train carriage, they didn't understand what a train was, and even thought it was a very special building. Came to a place to eat again.

Especially in the train carriages, there are tables that are clean and covered with tablecloths, which adds to their perception of this.

Before entering the train carriage, they also commented on the construction style of this carriage. They also said that the Song Dynasty is different. Look at this architectural style. When did Dali have such a style of architecture?

This was also for Duan Yu and others to get on the train. The Jiangling authorities temporarily isolated the train station and isolated a special passage for Duan Yu to come in, so they didn't think there was anything wrong.

The only thing wrong is why there is no order menu handed over?
I have eaten at Rewards several times, and the food here is not the same as in Dali. Every time I sit down, a waiter will hand over something called a menu. Through this menu, you can order the food you want. After getting used to the habit of accepting the Kirin Army, Duan Yu didn't know how to order a meal because there was no menu.

Duan Yu didn't speak, but some Dali officials who followed Duan Yu asked this question first.

In response to this, the members of the Qilin Army in the carriage spread their hands, and then explained the matter of the train to them.

"What? It only takes three hours from Jiangling to Bianjing? Can we arrive tonight?"

When the Qilin Army told Duan Yu and others about the train, the latter obviously couldn't believe it.How could it be possible to arrive in Bianjing in three hours? It's not that he has never been to Dasong, and he has even been to Dasong many times. Every time he came to Dasong, he took the route of Jiangling, from Jiangling to Bianfu, Kaifeng He knows best how much time Jing needs, and now someone tells him that it only takes three hours, are you bragging?

From Jiangling to Kaifeng Mansion, although the road is not very dangerous, it is a flat road all the way, but at this time, even if it is fast, it will take more than a day. If it is a normal convoy, it will take two to three days. If it is walking, it will take longer, and it will take at least five to six days.

Now, tell me now, it only takes three hours to travel from Jiangling to Kaifeng Mansion?
How long is three hours?There are twelve hours in a day, and one hour corresponds to six hours in later generations.

How dare Duan Yu believe it? Isn't this obviously empty talk?
However, the person in charge of escorting Duan Yu from the Qilin Army stopped answering him. Instead, he took out a walkie-talkie and said something to the Qilin Army soldiers in the control room of the train station. Not long after, the train's driving notice came out. All the doors of the train were closed, and the train started gradually.

Then, while Duan Yu and other Dali people were stunned, the train carriage gradually moved north, moving...

Duan Yu: "..."

A courtier of Dali: "..."

Everyone: "..."

The people escorted by the Qilin Army have long been familiar with it.

Yes, it takes a long time to get from here to Kaifeng by simply walking or in a carriage, but don’t forget, this is a train, a train, and it’s an express train. In Li Chu’s words, this speed has reached every hour. 150KM per hour, this speed is not much different from the speed of later generations of bullet trains.

On the train, the escort had to explain the train to Duan Yu and others again, and what happened in Jiangnan.

When Duan Yu and others knew that these things were created by the Qilin Army, they were stunned again, and at the same time, they were speechless again after knowing the performance of the train.

This Qilin army is so powerful.

It seems that Li Chu's statement that he has controlled half of the Song Dynasty is true.As a wise and powerful monarch, Duan Yu can naturally understand the advantages of this train.

It seems that Li Chu, who follows the Qilin army, seems to be a very good choice.

……

The train, rumbling fast all the way, finally entered the Bianjing Railway Station that night.

At Bianjing Railway Station, the reception staff of Dasong, who had already received the news, also waited at the railway station early, and temporarily opened a temporary isolation passage at the railway station. After the train arrived, they greeted Duan Yu and some Dali people. The former courtiers of the emperor entered Bianjing City and finally rested in the arranged embassy.

It's already too late today, this time can't be used as a reception time.

Moreover, this reputation came to the Song Dynasty, which was no longer the same as the previous missions to the Song Dynasty, but came with the documents of the merger of the Dali Kingdom. Something to celebrate.

On the second day, the whole city of Bianjing was decorated with lights and festoons, and there was a joyous dance.

Expanding the country and accepting the merger of other countries, this is the second time since the founding of the Taizu in the Song Dynasty.

The first time was a tribe from Tubo. This tribe had been closely related to the Central Plains since the melee in the late Tang Dynasty. Later, after the founding of the Song Dynasty, this tribe was directly integrated into the Song Dynasty and became a part of the Song Dynasty. Territory, this place is the current Qinfeng Road of the Song Dynasty.

However, compared with Qin Fenglu, the situation in Dali is different.

The predecessor of Qinfeng Road was a tribe of princes in Tubo.

But Dali is different. This is a country, and the nature it brings is completely different.

Although he used to be a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, no matter how the vassal state was a vassal state, how could it be better to directly become the actual territory of the Song Dynasty?
