The cold wind poured in from outside the Zhengda Guangming Temple, and a chill hit.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn, and after a deep groan, Niu Ben said: "Your Majesty, if this Golden Horde is not eliminated for a day, it will be like the scabies on the back of the Great Yu State from time to time, coupled with the intervention of Tsarist Russia, it is now equivalent to another strong enemy in the north of the Great Yu State, if this problem is not eradicated, the Great Yu State will always be disturbed by it in the future." “

"The last general also thinks so, now that the fragmentary remnants of the council in Jiangnan have been almost cleared, and the British-led Combined Fleet is newly defeated, they will definitely not have the courage to make a comeback for a while, so the threat that is close at hand should be resolved now." Luo Quan said loudly.

Xiao Ming nodded slowly, now that Malacca is in his hands, Nanyang is in his pocket, just adopt a policy of encroachment, and the Golden Horde, a problem that has plagued the Great Chongqing State for hundreds of years, should also be completely solved.

Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for them to link up with Tsarist Russia in the north, as evidenced by the fact that they have cut off Zhu Sansi's supply lines.

"The words of the two generals are also what I think, the distance from Kwantung to Qingzhou is thousands of miles, and this war report is estimated to have been sent more than a month ago, and now the situation of Zhu Sansi and 10,000 soldiers is really worrying." Xiao Ming said worriedly.

Niu Ben said: "After Zhu Sansi occupied Yaxa, he got a lot of grain, grass and supplies, this is not a problem, the main problem is the supply of ammunition, in case the Golden Horde and Tsarist Russia besiege Yaxa, their situation will be very difficult." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming frowned, this year, the railway in Kanto has been continuing to be repaired from Jianzhou to the north, but because of the coming of winter, it is impossible to provide supplies for Zhu Sansi from the railway.

"You immediately give Qi Guangyi an order to send cavalry to Jianzhou, use horses and sleds to transport ammunition and supplies to Zhu Sansi's army, and at the same time be responsible for protection along the way, I can't abandon any soldier."

After a deep sigh, Xiao Ming made a decision.

"Sledding?"

Niu Ben and Luo Quan were stunned for a moment, they had never heard of this thing.

At this time, Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to bring paper and pen, and drew the structure of the sleigh on paper for the two to see.

"This is the sled?" Niu Ben glanced at the drawing, and the thing drawn on it was a wooden plank, the difference was that there were two parallel protruding iron knives under the plank, and there were reins in front of the sleigh, which could be tied to the horses.

The Great Yu Kingdom lost the Kanto region for a hundred years, and these generals living in the Guannai naturally did not experience the feeling of living in the ice and snow.

Naturally, they have no concept of this sled.

Now that the snow is heavy on the mountain, this sled is definitely the best means of transportation.

"Will this be able to transport supplies smoothly in the snow?" Luo Quan still has some doubts, after all, this matter can't be a joke.

"This is natural, without further ado, now I will let the factory produce this kind of sled overnight and transport it to Jianzhou by rail, and it is estimated that Qi Guangyi's cavalry will be able to arrive in Jianzhou within this time." Xiao Ming said loudly.

Then he took the two of them to the machine factory under the guards of the Praetorian Guard, and asked them to build a sleigh on the spot, because the structure was simple, and in only half an hour, a sleigh appeared in front of everyone.

For Siberia, the sleigh is likely to be an important means of transport for a long time to come.

So he chose a place with deep snow to demonstrate the convenience of sleds in the snow, and officially listed sleds as one of the items purchased by the army.

"With this, the transportation in the Kanto region is much more convenient, after all, this railway is not accessible from every place." Niu Ben breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the task of supplying Zhu Sansi is still very heavy, the tool of the sled has finally alleviated the current predicament.

"Yes, or the emperor is powerful, why didn't we think of this?" Luo Quan's mood also improved.

Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly, this time he also had negligence, he should have taken this issue into account when Zhu Sansi set off for Kanto.

It's just that he has too many things to think about now, and sometimes it is inevitable that there will be something to forget.

After deciding on the matter of sleds, Xiao Ming ordered the machinery factory to step up the production of 1,000 sleds to be transported to Jianzhou, and these sleds will become a means of transportation for the Kwantung army in the future.

However, the transportation of supplies in the Kanto region is one problem, and the transmission of news is another, and many times when the war report arrives, major events have often happened for a long time.

In the past, Xiao Ming had no way to deal with this problem, but now it is simple with the power problem, and he has asked Qingzhou University to prepare for this problem for a month.

Thinking of this, he said to the two of them, "Go, I will take you to see something more important, which is much more important than the sleigh." “

When the two of them heard this, they immediately showed a look of hope, because Qingzhou must have made a more important discovery.

The group turned around and came to Qingzhou University, and under the guidance of Xiao Ming, they went to a laboratory in the college, which is the power application laboratory of Qingzhou University that has just been established, and it is aimed at electricity-related equipment.

"Your Majesty!"

Xiao Ming's arrival attracted the attention of the thirty-two students in the laboratory, all of whom were proficient in the knowledge of electric power applications, and the name of the leader was He Dong.

When setting up this laboratory, Su Liangcai specially recommended this person, who is also a researcher of electricity, and he knows this He Dong's skills.

"It's really hard to keep you busy experimenting on the first day of the new year." Xiao Ming's tone was gentle, not like an emperor, but like a kind visitor.

When he first became the emperor, he paid a lot of attention to the appearance of the emperor for a while, but as the emperor sat for a long time, he gradually threw away this set of shackles.

Because for him, the image of being close to the people is more suitable for him, rather than a cold appearance that others can't touch.

"The matter of the telegram is a big matter, and the subordinate officials dare not be negligent, and this hard work is not worth mentioning." He Dong bowed and said.

After a pause, he continued: "It is a coincidence that the emperor came today, the laboratory has just completed the sending and receiving of telegrams, and then the application of wired telegrams can be officially launched. ”

Niu Ben and Luo Quan glanced at each other, both of them were happy, and now everything that was charged could arouse their strong interest.

"I think it's time for the results to come, yes, the two generals are coming with me today, and you will show them how to send and receive telegrams."

In Xiao Ming's eyes, the cable telegraph is a very backward way of transmitting information, but it can be described as an artifact for the current Dayu country, this thing is still used even in the contemporary era, and it has not been completely eliminated.
