The two brothers, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen, can also hold it. They are also from the royal family, and they have seen slightly more big scenes than ordinary people. Besides, this is the wedding of their sister Zhu Yilan, and they, as younger brothers, can't make a fool of themselves no matter what.

Zhu Youxiao also looked very happy. Because, some of the wooden furniture on the train was made by him. For example, the chair that Xu Xingxia sat on under his ass was designed by Zhu Youxiao himself. Xu Xingxia gave full expectations to the future Master Luban, and strongly encouraged him to break out of his own world in carpentry.

Zhu Youxiao, who had never received such encouragement, suddenly came to his senses, and his whole person became full of vitality. In order to figure out the technical problems of carpentry, he can make his two eyes look like panda eyes without eating or sleeping. is so obsessed with carpentry that he forgets to sleep and eat, even Liu Guangliang is ashamed of himself. Finally, under the auspices of Xu Xingxia, Zhu Youxiao officially worshipped Liu Guangliang as his teacher and began to systematically study carpentry engineering.

In the past, Zhu Youxiao, in terms of carpentry, was actually self-taught, and there was no systematic theory. His ideas are very good, his creativity is also very good, and his craftsmanship is also very good, but some basic knowledge is not very solid. Now, with such an opportunity, he can learn systematically, and he is naturally happy. Of course, the most important thing is that he can be stuck in the wood all day long, and it is much happier to realize his pursuit than to do things he doesn't like.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao's behavior, in the eyes of others, is similar to a madman. While complaining that Zhu Youxiao didn't know what to do and didn't pay attention to his identity, they were also complaining about Xu Xingxia, a minister. This guy does everything according to Zhu Youxiao's wishes, and he simply takes Zhu Youxiao into the fire pit. Originally, Zhu Youxiao seemed to be saved, and there was still a chance to turn back, but he was completely sunk by Xu Xingxia.

Others are trying to persuade Zhu Youxiao to stay away from carpentry, stay away from villains, and learn to deal with national affairs, but you just threw a lot of wood in front of Zhu Youxiao, gave him full freedom, and encouraged him to worship Liu Guangliang as a teacher. Isn't this against the imperial court? It's hard for Zhu Youxiao not to sink! The bigwigs of the Donglin Party are about to vomit blood. In the long run, can Zhu Youxiao still be the prince? It's almost the same as being a master carpenter on the street!

However, complaining is complaining, and curses are curses, but no one dares to show it to Xu Xingxia in person. Even the bigwigs of the Donglin Party didn't dare to say anything to Xu Xingxia. Old Demon Xu's reputation is too cruel, if it causes him unhappiness, it will definitely be a bad thing. After Lin Dan Khan and Mo Yuegen, Nurhachi became the third tragic guy. He just didn't listen to the warning of the white-clothed army, and as a result, he was now beaten so that he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the north.

It is said that the white-clothed army cleaned up the prisoners, just like packing up a plate of side dishes, effortlessly, and it couldn't help but make people frightened. The current Southern Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of some of the troops temporarily assembled has not yet been built and strong. Nurhachi is also a generation of murderers, which made the Ming Dynasty feel a headache, and as a result, he was completely sunk by the white-clothed army.

The current Nurhachi, don't look at the fact that he is still nesting in Liaoyang, still occupying a large piece of territory in Liaodong, and he is still majestic. In fact, people with clear minds know that this is simply a delaying tactic of the white-clothed army, and Xu Xingxia is deliberately making it bad. If the white-clothed army really wants to seize Liaoyang, it is estimated that ten Nurhachi will not be able to stop it. But even Nurhachi doesn't know it, and he is still dreaming of a comeback. It's really funny.

In fact, due to Zhu Youxiao's lack of business, Nanjing is already secretly considering whether to change the crown prince. Such a prince is indeed not like words. Due to the change of history, Taichang Emperor Zhu Changxun was not poisoned by the red pill, his health has always been good, and it is estimated that he can live for twenty or thirty years, and it is not a problem to continue to have children. has such a long time, which is enough to train Zhu Youxiao, or his grandchildren, into a successor.

Of course, the premise is that Xu Xingxia should not interfere in the affairs of the Southern Ming court. However, who dares to guarantee that Xu Xingxia will not interfere in the affairs of the Southern Ming Dynasty? A lot of pessimists are already preparing for their own back. They estimated that Zhu Changxun was definitely the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Xu Xingxia did not use force to knock Zhu Changxun off the emperor's throne, after he naturally died, he would cut off the royal heir.

Anyway, in a word, if Xu Xingxia gives face, Zhu Changxun will continue to be the emperor until he dies of old age. If you don't give face, you will be pulled down halfway. As for Zhu Changxun's descendants, it is absolutely impossible to continue to ascend the throne and be the emperor.

In other words, the current Southern Ming Dynasty is at most a shelf of twenty or thirty years. It depends on Xu Xingxia's mood. If he is in a bad mood, the Southern Ming Dynasty may come to an abrupt end at any time and die right.

...... "Woo woo! ”

It's the incessant sound of a whistle.

"Wow...... Wow...... Wow......"

It's the sound of a continuous stream of wheels hitting the railroad tracks.

As the train travel time continued, most of the guests' inner anxiety began to become more intense. It's like people who are on a plane for the first time in later generations are always worried that the plane will fall suddenly, and they are also very worried that the train will suddenly turn over or something. Fortunately, Xu Xingxia himself was also in the car, so they were not so worried. The reason is very simple, Xu Xingxia's own surname is much more expensive than theirs.

Fortunately, the total travel time of the train is not very long. If you have a stopwatch, it is estimated to be about half an hour. While some of the guests were getting up and down, the train had already sounded its whistle again, slowly slowing down. Then, the train gradually stopped and leaned against the platform of Yaofubao. The conductor announced that Yao Fubao had arrived.

From Zhangliangbao and Yaofubao, it only takes half an hour for the train to travel. If you just calculate the speed, the gallop of a horse is about the same time. Most of the war horses, when sprinting, can run at such speed. However, compared to war horses, the advantages of trains are too great, and there is no comparable surname between the two at all.

Xu Guangqi's train, for the sake of safety, reduced the speed by more than half. Originally, the train was designed to travel at about 50 kilometers per hour. After halving, it is about 25 kilometers per hour. If you run at full speed, the war horse will definitely not be able to catch up. No one's war horse can maintain a sprint state for more than half an hour. Even the best breed of Dawan horse sent from the Western Regions can't do it.

At the same time, in order to ensure safety, Xu Guangqi only hung twelve carriages. Moreover, each carriage is loaded with only about 80 guests. In fact, his original design was to be able to hang more than 16 carriages, each of which could carry about 150 people. If they were all fully loaded, one car could take away 1,800 people. If it is overloaded like the Spring Festival, it is not a problem to pull away 3,000 people at a time.

However, even so, this entire train, which will be close to a thousand people, will be pulled to Yaofubao in a moment. Before everyone had any fatigue from hurrying, they had already left Zhang Liangbao dozens of miles away. If this is a soldier in the White Army, such a rapid maneuver is simply invincible. The train was running at full speed, faster than a war horse.

What's more, the train doesn't get tired, and the passengers sitting on the train don't feel particularly tired. As long as there is a railway, as long as there is enough coal, as long as the locomotive does not fail, it can run tirelessly all the way to its destination. As long as you want, it can take you from Ningxia Town to anywhere else in the country.

If the train runs wild all day and does not stop at all, it can run a distance of at least 2,000 miles in a day. With such a long distance, you can directly go from Ningxia Town to Xi'an Mansion. If you are riding a horse, even if you change horses in the middle of the way, it will take at least four days to get from Ningxia Town to Xi'an Mansion. Moreover, rushing to Xi'an Mansion at such a speed, it is estimated that the knight will also have to lie down. If you don't get it right, you will go into shock on the spot.

In fact, the biggest role of the train is not to solicit passengers, but to pull goods. If it is to pull goods, replace it with a more powerful locomotive, a whole train, which can quickly put thousands of tons of materials in distant areas. A train can send a brigade of white-clothed soldiers, along with all their weapons and equipment, thousands of miles away in a single day. This kind of strategic advantage is absolutely impossible to achieve by human or animal power.

The best example is the train from Xi'an to Jiayuguan, which, if opened, will greatly shorten the time from Xi'an to Jiayuguan. In the past, when riding a horse, from Xi'an to Jiayuguan, there was no half a month, and I didn't want to arrive. Along the way, there are a lot of tests to go through. However, if there is a train, you only need to roar all the way to Jiayuguan. For those who have a strong ability to bear, it will be time to get some sleep.

"It's amazing."

"How can there be such a magical thing in the world?"

Zhu Yilan got off the train, had to look at this long train of steel monsters with admiration, looked back at Xu Xingxia again, and couldn't help muttering quietly. With her intelligence, it is hard to imagine how Xu Xingxia could imagine such a strange thing in her mind. It's just incredible. She was sure that the train had never been seen before, and it had never been recorded in any book.
