The dragon train had several infantry cars and artillery cars with 75 mm and 105 mm Krupp cannons and 150 mm Skoda mortars, as well as a large number of Gatling guns and 40 mm five-barreled Habeg guns. Twain even called it a "land battleship" at one point. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。ｉｎｆｏ

"However, Tesla, I heard that in Qianguo, courtiers are not allowed to use the image of a dragon, you built such a steel dragon for a Mongolian prince, and bought it and gave it to Mr. Lin Yiqing, won't the Emperor of Qianguo think that Mr. Lin Yiqing has transgressed? You must know that this is a crime that can kill the head in Qianguo! "Mark. Twain said again.

"Hehe, my dear friend, you have been in Qianguo for a relatively short time, and you don't know enough about the situation in Qianguo, how can I harm our best friend?" Tesla laughed, "You may not know, since the death of Emperor Quanlong, the use of the image of the dragon is not as strict as in the past, the symbol of the imperial family, the Qianguo has not been as strict as before, in the past, only the royal family used the five-clawed dragon, and the ministers and the people could only use the four-clawed dragon, but now, the five-clawed dragon can also be used in the people, such as the new currency issued by the financial department of the Great Qian Empire, whether it is a silver coin or a copper coin, there is an image of a five-clawed dragon on it, and some gold and silver jewelry used by folk women also has the image of a five-clawed dragon. So even if I make this locomotive a five-clawed dragon, it will be fine. Of course, in order not to find unnecessary trouble, I paid attention to this problem from the beginning, so our steel dragon has no claws. ”

"I see." Mark. Twain understood.

"In order to let this steel dragon play an unhindered role in this counterinsurgency war, our dear friend Lin Yiqing has also taken precautions in advance. After receiving this steel dragon from me, he immediately presented it to his student, His Majesty the Emperor of the Young and Wise Great Qian's Empire, who liked it very much, but when His Majesty the Emperor learned that it could play a great role in the war, he gave it to Mr. Lin Yiqing's newly formed Imperial New Army, so that Mr. Lin Yiqing could use it to carry the new army he had created to fight. In fact, since it entered the army, none of the officials of the Imperial Supervision Department who can only rap have impeached Mr. Lin Yiqing on this ground. Tesla further explained.

Everyone sat in the living room of the steam room. The balcony doors and both windows are open, plus the fan hangs from the ceiling, so it doesn't feel hot.

The steel dragon is controlled by Tesla's regulating valve. At the moment, travelers want to enjoy the scenery outside the car, but the dragon is moving faster.

Although the dragon sailed on the railroad of the wasteland, it was still followed by a large number of Europeans who admired the train, and a large group of locals who respected and feared the convoy. Although the onlookers gradually dwindled as the train departed, people on the train could still hear stunned passers-by from time to time exclaiming "Wow! Wow! The exclamation.

At ten o'clock, the table in the dining room was already set, and it was more comfortable to sit here than in the box of the first-class train, and everyone was very comfortable to taste the Western-style lunch made by Lin Yiqing's chef.

As the train moved forward, more and more towns were plagued by the rebels. Neighborhoods beyond recognition, collapsed houses, burned crops, and thousands of corpses piled up in cities and villages, are a bleak picture left behind in the aftermath of the overwhelming slaughter.

Mark. Twain described what he saw: "It was as if we were going to hell...... There were rotting corpses everywhere, the smell of rancid smell in the air, and large flocks of vultures and crows snatched food from the corpses...... During the war to quell the uprising, officers and soldiers had to cover their faces with wet towels all day to prevent illness from the stench. ”

The travelers did not suffer too much because the steel dragon was always on the move, the cold air brought by the ceiling fan fanning the air, and the vetiver hanging in front of the window was constantly watered and gave off a moist smell. But the horrors they saw disturbed them and made them want to do their part to end this terrible rebellion, even though they didn't know how to do it.

In the afternoon, they took a short walk around the house. It was almost a little bit closer to Hami.

Mark. Twain looked curiously at the city, the only place in the entire territory that had not been occupied by the rebels. With thousands of elite soldiers guarding the city and excellent commanders, Hami under the banner of the flying dragon was a formidable enemy of the rebels, and it was their efforts that made it impossible for the rebels to concentrate all their forces to seize this important supply depot. It was only because of the fierce fighting for nearly two months that the city had completely declined. Tesla and Mark. Twain deplored what had happened to the city, but Westinghouse was bullish on the city, seeing that there was already a railroad to the outskirts of the city, and that even if it was just close to its walls, it had the hope of regaining its former vigor, and that the city would be able to revive commerce when the railroad passed through it completely.

By this time, the rebels had all retreated, and the battlefield was littered with corpses that had not had time to be collected, and in order to prevent infection, the dragon train stopped on the outskirts of Hami.

Lin Yiqing met with Tie Liang, the commander of the defenders of Hami City, Feng Guozhang, the commander of the reinforcements, and Bandar, the commander of Hami County, on the train.
