Chapter 1448 Steam Locomotive

Mu Jiansheng made rapid progress in Mindanao, and with the help of Jin Yiwei, who first inquired about the news, Mu Jiansheng quickly obtained the topographic map of the island.

Divide the island into areas, send a large army to search with a net, and quickly cleaned up the entire island.

The natives who refused to obey discipline were cast into Jingguan as a monument to show their strength.

Those who are obedient are sent to the plantations and mines.

Add bricks and tiles to the construction of Daming.

After cleaning up Mindanao Island, Mu Jiansheng and Mu Tianbo met at Temasek, and then the army went south to occupy Borneo.

No, Han Yu has now named it North Kunlun.

The situation in North Kunlun and Mindanao is basically the same. The Ming people who escaped from the disaster gained a lot of wealth through hard work, and then they were hostile by the local natives.

Under the fanning of the Hongmaoyi (Dutch), the conflict between the two sides became more and more intense.

A massacre is about to take place.

"These natives and barbarians really don't obey the king. They don't want to farm, but only want to plunder. This kind of barbarians can only teach them to be respectful with whips and bayonets. Pass on the order, according to the old rules, kill those who don't obey, and those who obey Grab them and send them to the plantation, and all the rewards you get will be distributed, and this general will not keep a single point."

Mu Jiansheng gave the order.

The army rushed into North Kunlun.

Mu Jiansheng and Mu Tianbo were busy pacifying North Kunlun, and Han Yu himself was not idle either.

During this time, he has been paying close attention to the training of cavalry.

Before the emergence of mass-produced trucks, the existence of cavalry is still necessary.

At least, there is nothing that can replace horses in terms of fast maneuvering and rapid deployment.

Han Yu formed twenty cavalry regiments during this period, and all cavalry regiments were equipped with short-barreled perpetual calendar rifles, a saber, and ten palm mines.

The fighting power is very powerful.

This cavalry army was prepared by Han Yu to deal with the Raksha Kingdom.

But after waiting for a long time, no one from the Raksha Kingdom came.

Han Yu sent someone across HLJ to check the situation.

It was found that there was nothing there but wild land.

It was only then that Han Yu remembered that it was 1663, and the Raksha Kingdom was just a small country entrenched in the Volga River Basin. It was fighting the Northern War with Sweden, seeking access to the Baltic Sea.

There is no time to expand towards Siberia at all.

"So it's early?"

Han Yu scratched his head involuntarily.

According to history, it is only thirty or fifty years before the Raksha Kingdom wants to cross Siberia and come to Nerchinsk.

"Since you don't come over, then I will go over."

Han Yu ordered the cavalry corps to march west.

At the same time, military depots were built along the way to transport materials.

In addition to being a fortress, the military depot is also responsible for farming and solving the food problem on the spot.

This greatly reduces the difficulty of material transfer and improves the self-sufficiency of the military depot.

Just after Han Yu dispatched the cavalry, Mu Jianping ran over bouncing.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has researched a good thing. It's fun. Let's go and have a look."

"what?"

Han Yu was a little curious.

Since he re-established the Ministry of Industry, many people who like to research and invent have been stuffed into it, and a scientific research institute has been specially established to invent various things, and rewards will be given if they are useful.

Stimulated by rewards, all kinds of strange inventions are invented every day.

Mu Jianping likes to play around and often spends time here.

It must be very novel to make Mu Jianping feel interesting. Out of curiosity, Han Yu followed Mu Jianping to the laboratory of the Ministry of Industry.

In a courtyard, Han Yu saw a steel giant.

It was a gigantic steam engine mounted on a reinforced cart with four steel wheels on which a transmission shaft was mounted and driven by the steam engine.

After a group of people from the Ministry of Industry discovered Han Yu's arrival, they hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a new car made by combining steam engines and vehicles according to His Majesty's will."

"But one problem with the new car is that it is too heavy. Ordinary roads simply cannot bear the weight of this car."

"Additionally, the vehicle requires a lot of fuel, which requires room for more coal, which adds to the weight of the vehicle."

"If you can't fix that, the car won't be on the road."

"It's simple." Han Yu's eyes shone brightly.

"Since ordinary roads can't withstand it, then we will create such a road alone."

"The road is paved with two steel rails. You only need to block the wheels, and put gravel sleepers underneath, which is enough to carry the weight of the car."

"As for the fuel, it's easier."

"The car can't hold so much fuel, so I hang an empty carriage behind the car and fill it with coal, so that there is enough fuel for the car to run."

"However, laying the road alone will inevitably cost a lot of money, isn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

A Ministry of Industry official was a little worried.

"The account can't be calculated like this."

Han Yu shook his head and said.

"Although paving the road alone costs a lot, the benefits are also huge. This vehicle is tireless, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can run day and night, and it must be extremely fast on the paved road, and the steam engine is extremely powerful It is so big that you can load goods in multiple carriages, which can greatly speed up the delivery of goods between Ming Dynasty and facilitate long-distance trade for merchants.”

"This car can not only load goods, but also take people, making it easier for people to travel around."

"Think about it, once this kind of road is paved all over the land of Ming Dynasty, together with all the cities and counties of Ming Dynasty, can people, people and goods come and go freely, and business will be more prosperous and tax revenue will be more."

"The army can also move quickly within the land of Ming Dynasty in vehicles, greatly increasing the speed of the army."

"Moreover, this huge road requires a lot of people to build. This is a lot of jobs, which can allow more poor people to earn money and use it for consumption."

"Building roads requires steel, which requires building more steel mills, which requires workers, which requires miners, and that's a lot of jobs."

"After it is completed, more manpower is needed to maintain it, which is more jobs."

"We can use this huge transportation network to support a large number of labor."

"And this huge network can tightly link the entire Ming Dynasty together and strengthen the control over the local area."

"Do you still think this road is expensive?"

Han Yu asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Many officials shouted in unison.

And Han Yu looked at the huge steam locomotive with eyes full of light.

With this steam locomotive, his pace of unifying the world will be further accelerated. If he wants to conquer any place, he only needs to repair the railway. Previous Chapter Contents Bookmarks Next Chapter
