Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

“It’s not a total cancellation!”

Bi Dengfu laughed:

“If you are in a water town like Jiangnan, you still have to build a permeable layer.

Because there is too much rainfall in the area.

When a rainy season comes, the roadbed may sink several inches!

However, in the north, annual rainfall is low.

Even, it may not be able to drop a few inches in a year!

Besides, even after 30 years.

These gravels sunk into the ground are the best water-permeable layer.

At that time, we only need to turn out the rails and sleepers.

Just lay a layer of gravel on top and that's it.

It doesn't take much effort. "

Song Yingsheng frowned:

"This way, it saves trouble now, but it will be troublesome 30 years later!"

“This is equivalent to spending money twice and doing one job...

This……

Your Majesty, will you agree? "

Wang Zheng already understood what Bi Dengfu meant.

He laughed and said:

"Brother Song, I understand what Deng Fu means.

What we need most right now is speed!

After all, the terrifying transportation capacity of trains is what we need most.

I can say this -

If we build a railway to any place now, the local area will immediately become an inseparable part of our Ming Dynasty.

At that time, it doesn’t matter if someone rebels or someone rebels.

With the terrifying transportation capacity of the train, it’s all a matter of hands!

everyone!

Just imagine if the railway was built to Yilibaili (the name of Xinjiang in the Ming Dynasty).

At the current speed of trains, it only takes half a month to make a trip.

In other words, in half a month, we can transport the soldiers to Yili.

What about the traditional method of deploying troops?

Half a year! "

Wang Zheng looked around and said in a deep voice:

"why?

Because of the logistics needed to counter the rebel army and the consumption of personnel for transporting logistics.

This is the biggest factor that restricts the speed of the imperial court's troop deployment!

Why have Tibetan areas, Guizhou and other places been managed in a Jisizhou style throughout the ages?

It’s because it would be too expensive to directly send troops to station!

Why did I have to give up when I clearly captured Annan?

Or is it because the front is too long and the cost is too high!

Everyone...

The Ming Dynasty established its country with military force, its vassals far exceeded those of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the power of heaven reached as far as the former Qin Dynasty.

It can be said that our Ming Dynasty has far more military power than the Han and Tang Dynasties.

but!

Why were all these sects and vassals lost?

It’s because—when they rebelled, we were experiencing internal instability..."

Wang Zheng sighed:

"That's how the places that the imperial court captured in the past were lost!"

"but……

It's different now!

We have an artifact! "

Wang Zheng raised his head and fixed his gaze on Bi Dengfu's train painting hanging on the blackboard.

Wang Zheng became excited instantly:

“Imagine if we could build the railway to Yilipa.

What will happen? "

"Half a month!"

Wang Zheng banged the table, his whole body trembling with excitement:

"It only takes half a month!"

"The time it takes for us to move our troops back and forth is the time it takes for the train to arrive!

It’s time for us to pacify the Western Regions!

everyone!

As long as the train reaches it, it will be the time when my Ming Dynasty established a government and established a county!

everyone!

What an opportunity!

What a feat!

Whether it's the Western Region or Yili, it doesn't matter.

It's never been like this - it's a great time to become our core core! "

"This responsibility..."

Wang Zheng stood up with a determined look on his face:

"I'll bear it!

Dengfu's method is the most beneficial method for our Ming Dynasty!

I'll take all the responsibility for this!

I, Wang Zheng, am the person responsible for proposing the use of steam engines.

I, Wang Zheng, am the head of the Ming Dynasty Royal Heavy Equipment Bureau.

Let me, Wang Zheng, bear this responsibility! "

"No, no!

This is a child's suggestion. How dare you ask the prince to take responsibility? Let me take the responsibility..."

Bi Maokang stood up hurriedly and was about to speak and take responsibility himself.

Wang Lian coughed and stopped the two of them.

He looked around:

"You don't have to fight."

"I will bear this responsibility!"

Wang Lianchong stood among the technical masters around him and bowed down:

“You are all great talents and are His Majesty’s right-hand men.

Wang Lian, as an eunuch, was of little benefit to the country.

Every time you lose one, it is a loss for Ming Dynasty and a loss for Your Majesty.

Only Wang Lian is different.

Wang Lian is just a domestic servant of His Majesty. Even if he makes a mistake in judgment and takes responsibility, he will be harmless to the country. "

Although he was an eunuch, Wang Lian had a straight face.

He said these words categorically.

Everyone hurriedly bent down and tried to dissuade them:

"Prince, no!"

"How dare you let the prince take responsibility? This matter is the responsibility of us who are responsible for supervising the craftsmen.

It’s up to us to take responsibility!

A group of white-haired old men scrambled to take responsibility.

Wang Lian smiled:

"This kid Noboru has made it clear enough, and I understand it.

The biggest disadvantage is that 30 years later, we will need to spend so much money to re-pave all the roads.

right? "

Wang Lian stretched out his hand and pointed at Bi Dengfu:

"Tengsuke, is that what you mean?"

"No no no!"

Bi Dengfu said hurriedly:

"Prince!

What needs to be re-paved, that is, areas such as the Central Plains, is not used in the northwest.

There is drought and little rain there, and it doesn't rain a few times every year.

The biggest problem in building a railway there is how to prevent the sand from being buried instead of the subgrade sinking.

Therefore, it is the same whether a permeable layer is built over there or not.

As for the Jiangnan side, due to heavy rainfall, a permeable layer is still needed.

My proposal is only to omit the step of laying a permeable layer in this area of ​​the Central Plains.

Therefore, even if it is re-paved in 30 years, the cost will only be a fraction of what it is now.

I can't tell you the specific ratio.

Because of this stopgap railroad, I don't know how many miles will be built.

However, secretly calculating, the total mileage should not be too much. "

"enough!"

Wang Lian patted Bi Dengfu on the shoulder and smiled at everyone:

“You see, it’s just a few provinces.

In the face of such losses and gains, I still know how to choose. "

Wang Lian looked around at everyone.

His face is full of confidence:

"Besides, His Majesty is here, you are here, and our Royal University is here.

30 years later…”

Wang Lian laughed:

"Ha ha!"

"By then, we will have created so many good things!

By that time, I'm afraid even these trains will be outdated! "

Wang Lian made the final decision:

"So, it is Wang who should bear this responsibility!"

With Wang Lian's decision, everyone discussed for a while and immediately formed a test team, ready to start testing Bi Dengfu's idea.

At the same time, a joint memorial signed by everyone was sent to Northern Xinjiang at an accelerated speed of [-] miles.
