Iron Dynasty

The cold wind wrapped in snowflakes poured in from outside the Zhengdaguangguang Hall, and bursts of coldness struck.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn, and after pondering for a while, Niu Ben said: Your Majesty, if the Golden Horde is not eliminated for a day, it is like the scabies on the back of the Great Yu Kingdom from time to time. Coupled with the intervention of Tsarist Russia, it is now equal to Great Yu. There is another powerful enemy in the north of the country, and if this problem is not eradicated, the country of Great Yu will suffer from it forever in the future.”

The last general also thinks so. Now that the fragmented parliamentary remnants of Jiangnan have been almost eliminated, and the combined fleet headed by the United Kingdom is a new defeat, they will definitely not have the courage to make a comeback in a period of time, so it is time to solve the problem. A threat at hand. Luo Quan said loudly.

Xiao Ming nodded slowly, now that Malacca is in his hands, Nanyang is in his pocket, and he can adopt a policy of encroachment, and the problem of the Golden Horde, which has plagued the Great Yu Kingdom for hundreds of years, should be completely solved. .

Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for them to link up with Tsarist Russia in the north. Now they have cut off Zhu Sansi's supply line as proof.

The words of the two generals are also what I think. The distance from Kanto to Qingzhou is thousands of kilometers. This battle report is estimated to have been sent more than a month ago. Now it is really heart-wrenching how the situation of Zhu Sansi and 10,000 soldiers is Worry. Xiao Ming worried.

Niu Ben said: After Zhu Sansi occupied Yaksa, he got a lot of food, grass and supplies. This is not a problem. The main problem is the supply of ammunition. If the Golden Horde and Tsarist Russia besiege Yaksa, their situation will be different It's tough.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming frowned. This year, the railway in Kanto from Jianzhou continued to be built northwards, but because of the stagnation of winter, it was impossible to provide supplies to Zhu Sansi from the railway.

You immediately ordered Qi Guangyi to send cavalry to Jianzhou, use horse sleighs to transport ammunition supplies to Zhu Sansi's army, and at the same time be responsible for protection along the way, I cannot abandon any soldier.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming made a decision.

sled?

Niu Ben and Luo Quan were startled for a moment, they had never heard of this.

At this time, Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to bring a paper and a pen, and drew the structure of the sled on the paper and showed it to the two of them.

This is the sleigh? Niu Ben glanced at the drawing, and the thing drawn on it was a wooden board. The difference was that there were two parallel protruding iron knives under the wooden board, and there was a rein in front of the sled, which could tie a horse.

Dayu Kingdom lost the Guandong for a hundred years, these generals living in Guannai naturally could not understand the feeling of living in the ice and snow.

Naturally, they have no concept of this sled.

Now that the mountains are covered with snow, this sled is definitely the best means of transportation.

Can supplies be transported smoothly in the snow by relying on this? Luo Quan still had some doubts, after all, this matter is no joke.

It's natural, it's not too late. Now I will let the factory produce this kind of sled overnight and transport it to Jianzhou by rail. It is estimated that Qi Guangyi's cavalry will be able to reach Jianzhou within this time. Xiao Ming said loudly.

Then he took the two to the machinery factory under the guard of the Guards, and asked them to make a sled on the spot. Because of the simple structure, a sled appeared in front of everyone in half an hour.

For the Siberian region, the sled may be an important means of transport for a long time to come.

So he chose a place with deep snow to demonstrate the convenience of the sled in the snow, and officially listed the sled as one of the items purchased by the army.

With this, the transportation in Kanto is much more convenient. After all, this railway is not accessible to every place. Niu Ben breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the task of supplying Zhu Sansi was still very heavy, the sled was a tool that eased the current predicament.

Yeah, the emperor is still powerful, why didn't we think of this? Luo Quan's mood also improved.

Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly, this time he was also negligent, he should have considered this issue when Zhu Sansi set off for Kanto.

It's just that there are so many things he needs to think about right now, and sometimes it is inevitable that there are places to forget.

After deciding on the sled, Xiao Ming ordered the machinery factory to speed up the production of a thousand sleds and transport them to Jianzhou. In the future, these sleds will become the means of transportation for the Kwantung army.

However, the transportation of supplies in the Kanto is a problem, and the transmission of news is another problem. By the time the battle report arrives, major events have often occurred for a long time.

In the past, Xiao Ming had no way to deal with this problem, but now it is easy to have a power problem. Moreover, he has asked Qingzhou University to prepare for this problem for a month.

Thinking of this, he said to the two: Let's go, I will show you something more important, which is much more important than the sled.

When the two heard the words, they immediately showed a hopeful look, because Qingzhou must have made a more important discovery.

The group turned around and came to Qingzhou University. Under the leadership of Xiao Ming, they went to a laboratory in the college. This is the power application laboratory of Qingzhou University that has just been established, and it is aimed at power-related equipment.

emperor!

The arrival of Xiao Ming attracted the attention of thirty-two students in the laboratory. These students were all proficient in electric power application knowledge. The leading student was named He Dong.

When setting up this laboratory, Su Liangcai specially recommended this person. He is also a researcher of electricity. He knows this He Dong's skills.

It's really hard to keep you all busy with experiments on the first day of the new year. Xiao Ming said calmly, not like an emperor, but a kind visitor.

When he first became the emperor, he paid great attention to the appearance of the emperor for a while, but as the emperor sat for a long time, he gradually threw away the shackles.

Because for him, the image of being close to the people is more suitable for him, rather than a cold look that others can't touch.

The telegraph matter is a big one, and the lower officials dare not ignore it. This hard work is not worth mentioning. He Dong bowed and said.

After a pause, he continued: The emperor came today by coincidence. The laboratory has just completed the sending and receiving of telegrams, and then the application of wired telegrams can be officially launched.

Niu Ben and Luo Quan looked at each other, both of them were overjoyed. Now anything with electricity can arouse their strong interest.

I think that there should be a result. Yes, the two generals came with me today, and you will show them how to send and receive telegrams.

In Xiao Ming's eyes, cable telegraphy is a rather backward method of message transmission, but it is an artifact to the current Dayu Kingdom. This thing is still used even in contemporary times and has not been completely eliminated. With him, the Dayu Kingdom decree The delivery of information on the huge territory will be greatly shortened.
