The emperor ran away. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who took three days off for a private visit incognito, was abducted by General Zhenguo! Although the handwritten edict of Chongzhen in the hand of Queen Zhou clearly stated that he wanted to take this opportunity to play for two more days.

, but as the representative of a gentleman, the emperor must have understood the allusion of promising a thousand pieces of gold. How could he do such a ridiculous and treacherous thing? Therefore, this must have been privately instigated by the fat man. At least the important officials in the court who knew about it were using this excuse.

to comfort myself.

However, the fact that the emperor was abducted cannot be publicized everywhere, otherwise it will appear that the current traitors in the court are very incompetent. However, the emperor and the general Zhenguo were followed by Wu Linzheng, and the number of shadow guards responsible for secret protection did not exceed a thousand.

How can such a small number of manpower be enough? If something happens to that damn fat man, many foreign races will have fun secretly. And if there is any problem with the emperor's safety, then the Ming Dynasty will not be able to make a big fuss?

After complaining, the traitors who often came in and out of Jinshen Hall decided that they must quickly send reinforcements to strengthen the security force.

The Shadow Guards who are best at security work must be sent out, but in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the two young men who escaped and the late emperor who had already gone north, everyone else has the right to command those brainless soldiers. Fortunately, the rules were established a few years ago.

At that time, the courtiers were deceived into a temporary right. Although other people could directly issue transfer orders, as long as Lu Xiangsheng, the commander-in-chief of the Central Group Army, made a request, the Queen's decree was stamped with the seal of the six ministers, and finally it was passed by the general's wife and it must be the queen.

Madam's permission can also be effective in special circumstances.

The troops to go for reinforcements were selected, but there were disagreements about who to send. In fact, with the Thousand Shadow Guards around, Chongzhen and Zhu Youcong just wanted to go to the west and take a walk.

No problem. But everyone finally found such an excuse to travel at public expense, and no one is willing to give up.

However, even with the most busy affairs of the court, it was impossible to allow all the insiders to go, and with so many important ministers leaving at the same time, why should they hide it? Fortunately, the queen knew the general situation and tried her best to dissuade the two generals and their wives, otherwise as long as they suddenly left the city

, even a fool can guess what is going on.[

But Lu Xiangsheng is definitely going. If someone disagrees, he won't write the application. Although there is no shadow guard, this guy can't mobilize the army without authorization, but he can use the excuse of military exercises to send out the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion to look for the emperor.

Isn't it that yyng can follow him shamelessly? The dog-headed military advisor next to General Zhenguo cannot refuse the offer, otherwise that guy will definitely dare to go out of the city to report the news. As for the remaining people, of course they can only leave it to fate and draw lots.

"Qitai. How do you know that I and my brother Cong will go to Yangzhou?" After leaving Nanjing, Chongzhen, who was not restricted by any restrictions, did not directly choose where to go. Instead, after landing in Jiangpu, he ran to Chuzhou for a walk.

, after tasting the famous black-backed golden-scaled crucian carp, I bought some crispy candy, ate all the way to Anzhi Tianchang, and had a hearty meal at a farmer’s house in Yeshan, and then I thought of dropping by Yangzhou for a visit.

.

"My old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks descended on Yangzhou in March. Your Majesty, you don't think that I don't even have this knowledge, do you?" Sun Qifeng is indeed very capable. He just got the leave qualification from the Imperial College and took advantage of it.

I learned the cheating methods and snatched this opportunity from the hands of a lot of traitors.

It's a pity that he is still a little younger than Nan Juyi. In order not to be exposed, he can only stand up and take the blame. Anyway, they are just making excuses, and it is better to offend the traitor and Lu Xiangsheng at the same time.

Let the emperor know that he is very knowledgeable.

Although the emperor is talented and intelligent, he rarely makes mistakes in handling national affairs over the years, but after all, he has been living in the palace all year round, and he is still very kind in nature. It is not too difficult to deceive him. But that man who is blind all the time

The nonsense of General Zhenguo was different. Nan Juyi hurriedly asked before Zhu Youcong exposed Sun Qifeng's lies: "General, you and the emperor came to Yangzhou. Why didn't you take the waterway but took such a long detour?

circle?"

"How do you and I want to go shopping? Do we need your approval?" He didn't have time to worry about Nan Juyi's petty tricks. Zhu Youcong asked Sun Qifeng: "Qitai, the exploration team from the college has set off.

?"

"Returning to the general, as far as I know, Xu Hongzu has already set off for Leizhou Mansion with many colleagues. According to him, the preliminary survey should be completed within three years..." Sun Qifeng majored in diplomacy, but he

Occasionally, he would be forced to do odd jobs by Kong Yanzhi, so he knew the trends of each branch quite clearly.

Although the official system that the Ming Empire had before was in tatters, it could still cope with the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy. It could be repaired and repaired to meet the needs of military mobilization. Anyway, it had been used to it for thousands of years. But the problem was that the Ming Dynasty

The industrial revolution has already started, and now various places are only in the trial production stage, but the original official channels are already overwhelmed.

It makes sense to build roads first if you want to get rich. It’s not that the Ming Empire didn’t want to build roads before this, but it was that it didn’t have the ability to build roads. The funds for road construction are easy to solve, and there are still tens of millions of taels in the imperial treasury.

Well, if it's really not enough, can you open the door and let some fat guy go out to grab it?

But building roads that extend in all directions requires far more than the most basic condition of money. There are many people in the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, the court has also been trying to free them from heavy land labor, but it cannot just jump out of a pit of fire and start again.

Falling into another trap. Chongzhen was reluctant to use the people of the Ming Dynasty to build roads, but the laborers of the Liaodong Tatars and Bangzi had to be responsible for agricultural planting. If Zhu Youcong had not promised him to come back to get more laborers, he would have

I really need to order the fat man to take it easy and leave some Japanese pirates to be brought back to build the road after they are castrated.

Now with the help of Western allies, since they are willing to exchange slaves for Ming products, the road construction manpower has finally been successfully solved. Anyway, the people were captured by the allies and have nothing to do with Ming Dynasty, and those who

The poor man is a slave in the hands of the Western allies, but a laborer in the Ming Dynasty. What is the difference between the two? Well... the name is not yyng!

Qin Shihuang was a tyrant and Chongzhen was a coward. The laborers they chose were both yyng. Therefore, the roads they wanted to build were exactly the same. The railway was not invented by the foreign uncles. What they invented was the steam locomotive that ran on the railway; ancient Greece

It is not the first country to have rail transportation. As early as the Warring States Period, the railways built by various countries in the Central Plains had begun to take shape. After the unification of the First Emperor, a dense "rail network" was built on a large scale across the country.

It is a pity that the achievements created by the First Emperor have been overshadowed by his violence. What can prove that he did this is not the history books or the historical relics in Nanyang Mountain. It is other things. Until the Museum of London in the United Kingdom conducted a study on the Qin Dynasty

The railway system was restored and was accepted by the Chinese people only after it was recognized by the foreign uncles. It turns out that this thing is really made in China and was not introduced by the Tatars when they were at the end of their rope!

Perhaps in another time and space, history requires the Chinese nation to spend two thousand years paving the way for the development of the West and creating the required material foundation. But the Ming Dynasty, which got rid of its shackles with the help of Zhu Youcong, was not a fool like Chongzhen.

Even the treacherous and sycophant men under him are not willing to marry others. Since it belongs to our ancestors and is useful, then it should be inherited as a matter of course!

But building a railway is unusual. It does not go through a lot of preliminary exploration work, and no matter how abundant the funds are and how large the labor force is, it cannot be easily started. Otherwise, half way through the construction, you will find that the previous basic law has been passed. What will you do?

? You must know that the person in charge of the fund review is Prince Fu, that fat man who is so stingy that it gives people a headache just thinking about it. Even if the emperor personally gave the order, the fat man would at least complain because he wasted the money that his precious son had worked hard to get back.

Last year!

As an unqualified time traveler, Zhu Youcong is destined not to become a god who changes this era, and his knowledge in many aspects is extremely lacking. Although he has not forgotten the geographical knowledge he learned in middle school, he cannot

Write a decent textbook.

It is different from subjects such as mathematics at Imperial College. In the geology branch where Xu Xiake and his group of like-minded friends study, they are both students and their own teachers. After a year of basic study, they will be responsible for using their own feet.

To measure the land of the Ming Dynasty, to sort out a complete set of theories through constant exploration, and to carry forward this basic discipline.

"What about their safety?" Zhu Youcong did not have the opportunity to participate in the field scientific expedition, but he knew very well how difficult it was. The group setting off now is the hope of the Ming Empire, and any losses will be legal consequences.

Estimated.

"General, don't worry. The general has ordered the Xiong family to dispatch 300 people to follow. We will ensure that in case of failure." Lu Xiangsheng knew very well how precious these elites of the Imperial Academy are. Since General Zhenguo personally ordered to protect their

To ensure safety, of course he spared no effort to mobilize the best troops to follow him.[

"This is not enough!" The reason why Chongzhen and Zhu Youcong went around in such a big circle this time was that in addition to seeing the reform results of various places with their own eyes, they also wanted to experience the hardships of geological exploration. Just the journey from Tianchang to Yangzhou, they

There were still so many people guarding the two of them, and it was tiring enough to walk on the official road. He could not imagine what dangers Xu Xiake and others in charge of the exploration mission would encounter in the inaccessible wilderness.

"Wu Aiqing!" Now that he has so many knowledgeable people around him, Chongzhen never wants to see Wu Linzheng's donkey face again, so he takes this opportunity to send him back to Nanjing. "You set off immediately and pass on my oral instructions to the cabinet to draft a plan.

This imperial edict orders local governments to ensure the safety of Xu Xiake and others. Wherever they go, any requirements in terms of personnel and materials must be met!"

"Your Majesty..." Wu Linzheng had no objection at all to ensuring the safety of those people. But the latter sentence had too much power. Any request must be met? Doesn't this make him an imperial envoy ordered to rob?

"Don't worry too much. Since they can choose this most difficult subject and take the initiative to take on this responsibility, I should believe that they will keep the interests of the Ming Empire in mind at all times!" Chongzhen in history was easily deceived and gullible.

Although Zhu Youcong has tried hard to help others change, the nature of a country is easy to change. For those who are willing to take risks and accept challenges, this foolish king is still willing to believe wholeheartedly, unless they do something that makes him despair

thing.

"Wu Aiqing, you have seen this along our journey. The road problem has become prominent. If the court cannot effectively solve it, it will affect the results of the reform to a great extent." In many cases, Chongzhen was more patient than Zhu Youcong.
