His Majesty the Emperor came to Yingtian in countless cheers, and less than three days had passed since the departure from Beijing, two days and 10 hours to be exact.

The journey was more than 2,300 miles, and there were more than 2,800 attachés.

When Zhu Di rode a high-headed horse, his spirits were flying, and when he entered Yingtian, there were cheers on both sides of the road, flowers everywhere, and the welcoming crowd could not be seen at a glance.

Countless journalists have come to witness this miracle.

With tears in their eyes, they waved their pens and wrote everything in front of them. It's just that even the most flowery rhetoric, the most beautiful words, can't depict one percent.

There is only one common thought in everyone's hearts.

That's pride!

Unabashed pride!

There is no need to be modest, this is a miracle that only Da Ming can do!

Many of them, including them, are involved in this huge project.

Sections after sections of railroad tracks, sleepers one by one, and millions of craftsmen and craftsmen, carefully and conscientiously, repaired the railway that runs through the north and south.

Now His Majesty the Emperor, leading the civil and military ministers, it took less than three days to rush from Beijing to Yingtian.

This is not the exclusive domain of His Majesty the Emperor.

Soon, special lines for passenger and freight will be introduced, and ordinary businessmen and ordinary people will be able to take the train and experience the joy of speeding fast.

What could be more exciting!

The people, who have always been reserved, are also going crazy at this moment.

Taverns, teahouses, streets and alleys, all talking about the sound of the railway.

The newspaper is full of articles, introducing the achievements of the Ming Dynasty, exaggerated words, and showing unparalleled joy.

Even those foreigners who lived in Yingtian were shocked.

They're the most horrified.

These people crossed the ocean and came to Daming. They witnessed the wealth of the Ming Dynasty and saw the magic here. Everyone had to admit that the Ming Dynasty was far ahead of their kingdom.

It's just that the lead is still within an acceptable range.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are just better fed, more beautifully dressed, wider streets, and more prosperous commerce...... But with the advent of trains, this difference has been pulled to an incomprehensible degree.

These overseas businessmen really couldn't understand why a giant beast made of steel could honestly run on land...... Perhaps this is the power of God.

There is no divine right in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no god beyond the Son of Heaven. Here, even the gods have to accept the canonization of imperial power. Without the emperor's recognition, there is no real god!

Until this moment, these overseas barbarians have to admit that the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty is indeed more powerful than the gods! He has unrivaled power.

A lot of people can't help but worry.

In case Daming decides which country to do against, that country may have to surrender obediently.

But then again, it may be a good thing to be able to become a dependency of the Ming Dynasty...... Yingtian, Jiangnan, and the entire Ming Dynasty are all suffering from rippling waves, and the vibrations are constantly transmitted outward, and there is no tendency to weaken at all.

Needless to say, the most intense reaction is the stock market, and the railway-related stocks are like taking medicine, rising rapidly and endlessly.

Fortunately, Liu Chun had the foresight, and he had already notified the stock market to set up a daily limit mechanism, and he could not let the stock price soar.

His response was timely, but even then, the railroad sector more than tripled.

The most obvious consequence is that Zhu Gaoxu once again became the first person in royal wealth. He was a little confused about how much money he had now.

New safety gunpowder, steam engine, railroad ...... There is no doubt that he swelled.

What is called Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book...... If you read science well and master technology, you can truly master wealth.

The success of the railroad has removed the last obstacle on the road to advancing science.

If anyone dares to say that the sages speak at this time, half of the treatise rules the world...... Even the common people of the market will laugh at ignorance, no matter how powerful your saint is, let him build a train, let him make an iron ship without sails?

The new style of education has completely won the dominant position.

What followed was that Liu Chun's status was improved again, and the name of Taishi almost surpassed that of Emperor Zhu.

You can't know Zhu Di, but you can't know Liu Chun!

What's going on?

I worked hard and made wedding clothes for Liu Chun, and Zhu Di was angry.

"Father, if you don't do this, just seal my master overseas, come out of sight and out of mind." Zhu Gaochi proposed, but Zhu Di glared at him fiercely.

"You idiot!" Zhu Di scolded unceremoniously, "You are short-sighted, the railway is good, but how to manage it?" What other changes will the railways bring? What unexpected conflicts will there be? Do you know all these things? You don't know! If something happens, don't you still have to use Liu Chun's ability to drive him overseas, in case he uses these to build his own fiefdom, you will cry at that time! ”

Zhu Gaochi agreed again and again on the surface, but he secretly sighed in his heart: "Master, it's not that the disciples don't help, it's really that my father is not confused, so your old man can only continue to contribute his talents to Daming." ”

Of course, Zhu Di can't do nothing and let the noisy things happen.

I must do something, I can't let Liu Chun steal the limelight.

What could be more evident than the achievements of the Son of Heaven than to expand the territory?

Zhu Di did not hesitate, and ordered to gather people and horses, review the three armies, and prepare to go to the extreme west.

Three thousand soldiers of not very tall were ready.

Chang Mao also went to the school with his wife to personally appreciate the demeanor of this team.

They are far from being elite, they are all the people who have been eliminated from this military reform, and of course they are not a rabble. Many of these people are subordinates of the Lan family and the Chang family, as well as some of the older Shenji Battalion.

Although Daming doesn't need them anymore, but overseas, they are definitely the elite of the elite.

This can be seen from the exaggerated expression of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Three thousand men, all armed with firearms, lean and powerful.

In addition, for this team, a hundred fast warships were also prepared, and there were 500 cannons alone, whether it was Liu Chun or Zhu Di, they all spent a lot of money.

Although he is full of confidence in the power of the Ming Dynasty, he can't really underestimate the heroes of the world.

The West, in particular, is at the moment engaged in a long Hundred Years' War.

In fact, in the West peace is short-lived, and war is the norm.

Britain and France have been fighting each other for decades, and if no one interferes, they will continue to fight.

War brings killing, displacement, separation, and misery, but it also brings terrible plagues and harvests lives more efficiently.

But war can lead to technological progress and force nations to build up their organizational capabilities.

And it is precisely on this basis that the West has gradually improved and innovated, and has come up with powerful firearms and efficient combat methods. Profound reforms are also underway throughout the country.

When the war ended, the accumulated huge power turned into the driving force for foreign expansion, and the Age of Discovery was born.

Therefore, there is a context to follow at all times.

Without the advancement of weapons and organizations, even if you find the New World, you may still be beaten by the natives, and then there is no point at all.

Therefore, this is the best time to intervene in the West, and if in a few decades, the Ming Dynasty wants to go on an expedition to the West, the odds may not be great.

Her Royal Highness the princess didn't know anything about Liu Chun's thoughts, she was just immersed in the heavenly grace of the kingdom, excited like a child.

Originally, Chang Mao was old, and Zhu Di and Liu Chun didn't want him to go on the expedition, but this guy came up with a reason that no one could refuse.

"Your Majesty, Taishi, this Xiyi is different from the Ming Dynasty, they don't pay attention to three obedience and four virtues. You can't just watch me cuckold, can you? “

Faced with such a powerful reason, Liu Chun and Zhu Di could only have one .asxs. head.

However, for the sake of insurance, Liu Chun asked Lan Yong to follow Chang Mao to assist them, and also sent them ten top doctors.

Chang Mao laughed at it all, but he kept his son and put it in Liu Chun's hands.

After making all the preparations, the fleet set off from Liujiagang and embarked on the road to the west.

In fact, the whole process is much smoother than many people think.

This route has been explored repeatedly, and supply depots have been established in the Ming Dynasty along the way, especially in some important ports, where hundreds or thousands of Han Chinese are located.

There was not much desolation about being uprooted from home, but more joy at the first time in a foreign land.

Finally, after a long journey, the fleet entered the Atlantic Ocean and headed straight for Europe.

On this day, a group of "little guys" appeared on the sea, on the wooden sailboat, hanging a red cross flag on a white background, if Liu Chun was here, it is estimated that he would not be able to recognize which country.

But fortunately, with Her Royal Highness the Princess, she recognized it at a glance.

"It's British! Damn the British! ”

Her Royal Highness gritted her teeth and scolded that her family was a small nobleman not far from Paris, and since the time of her grandfather, the British have been constantly fighting against France, robbing them of their land, extorting wealth, burning and looting, which is simply hateful.

Just when she wanted to introduce more of the crimes of the British, the Ming fleet couldn't hold it back.

Boom Boom!

The artillery fire quickly poured down, and the poor British boat was like a leaf in the waves, swaying helplessly and struggling.

A quarter of an hour later, a total of eight British ships sank into the sea. All the sailors on board fell overboard, becoming a snack for sharks.

The princess opened her mouth wide in surprise, this is too simple!

Chang Mao shrugged, "Didn't you say they deserve to die?" Then they must be damned! There was a mist in the princess's eyes......

A few days later, the flotilla also quickly passed through the English Channel and landed in Calais.

On the same day, a message called "Monster from the East has landed in Port Calais" quickly spread across the continent......
