Even the smart and sensitive Zhu Yilan is so puzzled, not to mention other women. They already treat Xu Xingxia purely as a monster. Xu Guangqi is a sincere person and has no habit of lying. Therefore, Namu Zhong and others all learned from Xu Guangqi's mouth that the freaks of trains and railways were actually carried out under Xu Xingxia's initiative.

To be precise, everything they saw that was new, weird, and never appeared was basically made up by Xu Xingxia, and the people below were made up by trial and error. Although the people below worked very hard and were great in doing experiments, in terms of credit, it was Xu Xingxia who had the greatest credit. Because, without his advice, the people below can't even feel the direction at all, so what kind of trial and error are there to talk about?

Xu Xingxia nodded thoughtfully, smiled and said, "This, if I tell you that I am not from this world, do you believe it?" ”

Namu Zhong nodded cautiously and said seriously: "I believe." ”

After a slight pause, Namu Zhong clasped his palms together and said reverently: "You must be an immortal." In your previous life, you must have been an omnipotent immortal. ”

The other women nodded in unison. They did have good reason to suspect that Xu Xingxia's previous life was indeed an immortal in the sky. Otherwise, how is it possible to get the train running? It is said that Xu Xingxia also mentioned to Xu Guangqi that there is something called an airplane that can directly take people to the sky...... Isn't this what a god is?

Sawanna asked curiously, "What kind of immortal were you in your previous life?" How did you come down to earth? ”

Xu Xingxia tilted his head to look at her, and said seriously: "Because I molested a fairy named Sawana in the divine realm, I was reprimanded and degraded to the mortal ......"

For his answer, Namu Zhong and the others naturally scoffed. Sawanna is even more smiling, with a variety of charms, quite a taste of seducing Xu Xingxia. None of that matters, though. The important thing is that they do believe that Xu Xingxia is indeed an immortal. Because, apart from the immortals, I really can't imagine that anyone would know so many things.

Only Xu Guangqi and others do not believe in immortals. They never felt that there were really any gods in this world. Well, what his old man believed in was Christianity from the West, and he believed in God. And God and the gods, it seems, are incompatible. Xu Guangqi prefers to believe where Xu Xingxia got these advanced technologies.

As long as you have an in-depth understanding of trains, you will not feel that it has anything to do with immortals. This is pure science and technology. Xu Guangqi was deeply influenced by Westerners, was more interested in science and technology, and had a strong ability to accept new things. Therefore, under his leadership, the entire science and technology department of the White Army has a sense of desire for new technologies.

Xu Xingxia's train wedding has, to a large extent, raised people's interest in technology. Many of our guests have seen first-hand the tangible benefits of technology. Many people are quietly thinking about whether they should also take the lead in setting up a group to pool funds and build one or two railways to make huge profits.

It is said that businessmen are the most sensitive to business opportunities. The appearance of the train immediately made them smell the strongest business opportunities. In the eyes of many merchants, the trains that are moving are not people or goods, but silver for nothing! As long as the construction of the railway is completed, you can sit back and wait for the cashier. That's a permanent gain!

At the end of the test run of the train, Xu Xingxia had made it clear that the White Army would disclose all the technology of trains and railways to everyone. As long as the merchant group is interested in building a railway, they can pay a registration fee of 500 taels of silver to the white-clothed army, and they will get all the technology transfer. If the written information cannot be understood, the science and technology department of the White Army will personally dispatch technicians to give all-round guidance until they understand it.

Obviously, such a great opportunity, if it is missed, it will be a real pity. Five hundred taels of silver, for a large merchant, is the price of the finest banquet. So, immediately after Xu Xingxia's speech ended, someone paid the registration fee and obtained a complete set of technical information from the white army. Some people took the lead, and other businessmen also followed suit, for fear of falling behind.

It should be known that the construction of railways has serious limitations in the distribution of geographical space. For example, it is possible to build only one railway from Xi'an to Luoyang, and it is impossible to build more. Duplicate construction, that is simply a waste. This means that if someone preemptively starts the railway, others will have to find another place.

And in such a big place in the country, there are dozens of the most profitable railways, who doesn't want to be the first to grab it? After this village, there is no such shop. As for the problem of funding, it can be solved. As long as there is a way to get rich, I am not afraid that no one will join in. Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to seize the right to build the railway in advance.

However, compared with the transfer of technology, the right to build a railway is a bit more cautious. To build a railway, you need to pay a deposit of at least 50,000 taels of silver, and you can't get approval by just talking about it. In addition, it must also be guaranteed that within one year, the construction must really start and not be sloppy. If the construction has not started after more than a year, the White Clothes have the right to take back the construction rights and sell them again.

The specific details are the affairs of the Railway Construction Division, and if you are interested, you can inquire about the Railway Construction Division in detail. After the successful trial operation of the train, the sign of the railway construction department was officially hung out. The first manager of the Railway Construction Department was Xu Xingxia himself. As for the person who is specifically responsible for managing things, it is Xu Guangqi.

………… After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the combat preparations of the white-clothed army began to be busy again.

Last year, except for the fighting in the eastern Liaodong region, the white-clothed army has always been standing still and recuperating in other areas. Most of the troops are reorganizing their training, painstakingly training their internal skills, reforming their thinking, and enhancing their combat effectiveness. After a few months of rectification, the current white-clothed army is already strong and strong, sharpening its knives, just waiting for the fat sheep to appear.

Domestically, the main targets of the White Clothes Army were Sichuan, Yunnan and Huguang. The official offices in these areas have always been directly and vacillating in the White Clothes Army and the Southern Ming Dynasty. They are intimidated by the powerful force of the White Army, and understand that they are not the opponents of the White Army at all, but they have a strong sense of resistance to the policies of the White Army, and are unwilling to give up their vested interests. For a while, I was in a dilemma, and I didn't know what to do.

However, the people below have already agitated and tried to win the arrival of the white-clothed army. In the face of this torrent, the government did not dare to suppress it, so it could only let it go. As a result, Sichuan, Yunnan, Huguang and other places soon spontaneously set up a management committee of the White Army, declaring that they would accept the rule of the White Army. For this situation, of course, the Southern Ming court was unhappy. Without Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang, Liangguang and other places, the ruling area of the Southern Ming Dynasty was reduced by more than half. However, they also did not have the slightest solution. All the Nanming troops combined, I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat an army under the White Army.

At present, the two newest units of the White Clothes Army, the Qin Cavalry Army and the Han Cavalry Army, have entered Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places and established a new ruling order. At the same time, the dragoon army, which made a detour from the direction of Nanyang, went all the way south from the Huguang area and entered Guangdong. The vanguard of the Dragoons had already crossed the Qiongzhou Strait and landed in the Qiongzhou capital.

With the military strength of the white-clothed army, there is actually no difficulty in occupying these areas. The only thing that needs to be considered is how to change the dynasty as quickly as possible. It is necessary not only to clean up the dregs of the old society as much as possible, but also to preserve the production capacity as much as possible, and not to turn it into ruins. If the white-clothed army wants to dominate the world in the future, it will have to rely on this vast land! The small area in the northwest is still a little too weak.

To this end, Xu Xingxia set up a special committee on non-war settlements, referred to as the non-war committee, to coordinate the march into the country in a unified manner. The military operations of the Qin cavalry and the Han cavalry were based on the recommendations of the Non-War Committee. This means that the advance of the White Clothes Army to the rest of the country is no longer mainly military, but mainly political settlement, supplemented by military. This can preserve the productivity of various places to the greatest extent and serve the future wars.

The main forces of the White Coats Army will be used in other areas. For example, Liaodong. For example, north of the desert. For example, the Western Regions. Judging from the current situation, the Western Regions will be the focus of the next stage of troop use. The appearance of the Green Cult fanatic made Xu Xingxia very vigilant. For their destructive power, Xu Xingxia, who came from later generations, is very clear. If they are allowed to gain a firm foothold in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, there will be more troubles in the future. Therefore, they must be cleaned out thoroughly. If it can't be cleaned up, it will be wiped out cleanly and completely from the **.

At present, the White Clothes Army is in Hamiwei, deploying three units, including the Lion Cavalry, the Leopard Cavalry, and the Mastiff Cavalry, as well as a skirmish unit of the Falcon Cavalry. In terms of numbers, the number of troops is indeed quite large. However, due to the equipment problem of Han-style rifles, the combat effectiveness of these four units is still very limited for the time being. In the face of the attack of a large number of fanatics, they can only take a defensive position for the time being, and they cannot counterattack for the time being. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen their combat effectiveness and resolutely counterattack.

At the end of January, Xu Xingxia left Ningxia Town, took the chasseurs, and marched to the Hamiwei area. He was going to the Hamiwei region to personally direct the war.
