Chapter 196
The surrounding onlookers didn't know that there were almost all the top executives of the Brilliant Star Group in this train! At Li Xian's request, everyone is fortunate to enjoy the power of technology.
This time, it is more about enjoying the convenience of technology, rather than the previous war technology. This is a completely different experience, without using spells, riding a horse, or traveling by yourself; everyone just drinks tea and chats like this, and the journey is thrown behind.
After leaving the crowd near Anyang, Xu Ren opened the curtains first, looked at the trees flying upside down, hills, etc. outside, and his mind was full of thoughts for a while. The development of Anyang is completely different. But Xu Ren, who saw how Anyang developed step by step with his own eyes, felt even more proud in his heart.
It's just that besides being proud, there is inevitably a bit of doubt, how could the young master know these things? What will the future hold?
The train roared. Unlike the array's engine, this internal combustion engine seemed to be roaring, as if announcing its arrival to the world.
It is also obvious that the internal combustion engine is smoother. Unlike the locomotive with the array engine, once the locomotive swayed severely, the gathering spirit array would fail, and the vehicle might stop. But the internal combustion engine has no such problem at all, and it runs smoothly all the way, and even the sound hardly changes.
It is more than two hundred miles, or more than one hundred kilometers, from Anyang to Dingshan City, but the train arrives in less than two hours. Of course, this speed is not fast, but compared with ordinary freight carriages, this speed is about three to five times faster.
When he arrived at Dingshan City, Yan Ze'an had led a few people to greet him, all of them were officials and military officers from Anyang. This locomotive test did not alarm more people.
When Yan Ze'an saw Li Xian, the first thing he said was - "With the train, disaster relief will be much faster in the future."
Li Xian was really moved when he heard Yan Ze'an's words. He really is a capable minister who governs the country, and he thought of this at the first time. "Mr. Yan, let's build a station here next. The area is planned to be larger, and it will be convenient to expand in the future. Let's plan according to a radius of one kilometer.
In addition, this year's expo, I have already prepared to hold it here in Jozan Castle. There will be a small household goods exhibition in the imperial city.
And the real industrial exposition, including household goods, industrial products, and arms, is exhibited here. And in the future, the exposition will be held here, once a year. So plan for the long term.
This time, along with the train, we brought in a full 200 tons of cement. If you send people to unload it, 200 tons of cement will be shipped every day in the future. What is not used up is piled up and sold at fairs. "
Unloading the cement was also very fast. The carriage was opened directly, and a few simple spells threw bags of cement onto the ground next to it. Then train just changes on another railway by the railroad track of artificial switching, returns.
After returning to Anyang, Li Xian got off the car halfway and returned to Anyang Mansion instead of going to Qingyun Valley. Now that the necessary basic research has been completed, Li Xian is not going to interfere in the next in-depth research and development. Let everyone play freely. It is enough for Li Xian to focus on a general direction.
Of course, Li Xian can't show his face in public now, after all, he announced that he was "dead from serious injuries" earlier. Although many people don't believe it, but with this excuse, Li Xian can play tricks. For example, when the expo was relocated to Dingshan City, Li Xian borrowed the name of "he was seriously injured and unable to travel far".
At night, Li Xian secretly met Li Liang. After meeting, Li Liang was not polite, and asked for arms. When he was in the imperial capital, before he went to Qi, Li Xian told about his plans to sell arms.
Not to mention, Li Liang knew the power of arms a long time ago, and he had seen it with his own eyes many times.
In the past, Li Liang was embarrassed to speak up; now that Li Xian is ready to sell publicly, Li Liang is no longer polite.
Of course, Li Xian has no problem with this. Apart from aircraft, Li Liang can get whatever he wants, and there is no problem with guns either. Even Li Xian joked that if the elder brother can use the ironclad ship on land, I would be willing to sell it. And the price, Li Xian is also very kind, all are the real cost price.
After Li Liang left, Li Xian began to deal with the backlog of problems from the previous period.
After more than a month of investigation, interrogation, and follow-up, Wu Peng, the head of the Ministry of Security, made great contributions. First of all, those who spread rumors secretly were all monitored by Ai, but they did not startle the snake; and under this premise, Wu Peng unexpectedly discovered the mastermind behind the scenes—it turned out to be Cai Guo!
Secondly, the results of the interrogation of the people who assassinated Li Xian at the beginning were also obtained. These people are all dead soldiers, and they don't know who they are loyal to. The only thing they know is that their base is in Nanyang County.
This alone is enough, Xu Ren is almost sure that this matter was done by the Kong family. From the perspective of the Kong family, they would not fail to see Li Xian's threat to their struggle for hegemony over the Great Xia Kingdom. Unplugging Li Xian in advance is indeed a good way, a very good way to weaken the Li family.
In the main hall, Li Xian, Xu Ren, Li Yuanming, Beichen Yuqing, Yan Zhengqing, and some generals all looked stern.
On the sand table, the current map and sphere of influence of the Great Xia Kingdom are displayed.
Xu Ren was the first to speak, pointing to Luliang County, "Although our Anyang is good now, we are surrounded on three sides. To the west is the imperial capital, to the south is the Confucius family and Nanyang County, and to the southeast is Luliang County and Dongyuan County. According to the news, the crown prince has now fully cooperated with the Yuan family, and Yuan Zhao is serving as Wen Cheng in Luliang County.
According to the imperial doctor, His Majesty the Emperor has less than three months to live, and there are dark tides in the Great Xia Kingdom, so His Majesty can only return to heaven.
Our strategy should be to attack Lvliang County to the east first, and remove the threat from the east. "
Li Xian nodded.
But Li Yuanming has a different opinion, "I think we should make good friends with the Wang family now, and let the Wang family contain Nanyang County from the west. As long as His Majesty dies, we will immediately send troops to Nanyang County, dispatch more than ten aircraft, and directly destroy Nanyang County. The government office Nanyang City was wiped out.
Then he immediately contacted the State of Jin and obtained cooperation with the State of Jin at the cost of ceding half of Nanyang County. Then turn around and attack Luliang County and Dongyuan County, which is the best way.
As long as we obtain these places, we can temporarily stop expansion and develop with peace of mind. After a few years, the separatist regimes in various places will be exhausted, but we will be stronger, and we will definitely be able to control the Great Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop.
After that, we sent troops to the south to attack Jin. "
Beichen Yuqing disagreed, "Although this is not a small success, it also takes a lot of risks. Besides, if we cooperate with the Jin State, what if it is used by the Jin State? great.
In addition, we also need to consider the influence of masters in the Nascent Soul stage on the war. "
Everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed, and everyone looks at Li Xian.
