Daming heir

Chapter 311 What kind of car does His Majesty drive?
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of brilliance.

In the body, the blood that had gradually cooled down due to old age seemed to be boiling again.

Just like when he just entered Yingtian City and claimed to be the King of Wu, but faced with the pressure from Jiangdong and Jiangxi, he was obviously in crisis, but he never gave up and had high morale.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned a deaf ear to the shouts of his courtiers, and stared at his grandson in front of him: "How should this thing be driven?"

Zhu Yunxi pointed to the lever Zhang Ergong wanted to pull at the beginning: "Grandpa just need to pull this lever out."

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands, grabbed the lever and pulled it hard.

At the end of the tie rod, there was a muffled sound from inside the steam engine.

Although, there was a creaking sound from under the car, and the whole car shook for a while. Zhu Yuanzhang's body was also unstable, and he subconsciously opened his hands and squatted down to maintain his balance.

But Zhu Yunxi, who was at the front, changed his expression slightly, and quickly grabbed the direction bar in front of him with both hands, and adjusted the front of the car to the direction outside Zhengyang Gate.

"Fuck! Forgot to put it in neutral!"

Zhu Yunxi cursed in a low voice, and looked at another short vertical bar placed under the horizontal bar in the second groove of the four parallel concave-convex grooves.Both hands are also tightly grasping the crossbar and dare not relax. Without assistance, the adjustment of the direction can only be done with great force.

Still inside the Zhengyang Gate, Zhu Yunxi did not dare to relax, and concentrated on correcting the direction of the steam car.

And in the horrified eyes of the surrounding officials.

But when he saw the carriage that was still weighing more than 5000 jins, he suddenly trembled.

After the emperor pulled the lever.

The entire carriage rushed out uncontrollably, while Taisun gritted his teeth and turned the direction of the front of the carriage with a tense face.

Then, the whole car rushed out of Zhengyang Gate like a big mouse.

Only a cloud of white mist and a cloud of dust remained in place.

"Escort!"

"Hurry up and escort!"

I don't know who it was, but suddenly shouted behind the Zhengyang Gate.

Although, there were quite a few old men who rushed to the commander of the forbidden army who had left the palace with him.

Although the old man usually has no strength to restrain a chicken, but at this time he grabbed the armor of the commander of the imperial army, but it seemed to be powerful enough to lift Mount Tai, and the poor man who dared not do anything too much was about to be scattered for fear of breaking up the gang. The commander of the guards' army was stunned.

"Quick! Take someone on a fast horse!"

"Don't dare to let something happen to His Majesty and His Highness."

"If something happens, none of your imperial guards will be able to escape!"

Several old men finally let go of the commander of the imperial guards, pushing and shoving them to take people out of the city to catch up with His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Grandson who had already fled out of the city, and their backs could no longer be seen.

Zhan Hui and the others also clustered around the prince Zhu Biao, staring at the prince with worry and peace of mind.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still as humble and gentle as ever, with a steady disposition.

"The old man and that bastard didn't even wait to get in the car...It's really hateful!"

Zhu Biao's eyes flickered slightly, looking at the white smoke and dust flying up from the pipes outside the city, and murmured dissatisfied in a low voice.

???

Zhan Hui and the others were completely dumbfounded.

"Come here, imperial army! Guard the crown prince here. You follow the old man out of the city to find His Majesty."

Zhan Hui saw that Zhu Biao was also ready to move, and he didn't dare to delay, so he called the imperial army to protect him, and then waved his big hand and led a gang of officials to leave the city.

It wasn't until he reached the city gate that he realized that he was still walking out of the city.

Snapped!
Zhan Hui raised his hand and slapped the heads of the officers and soldiers beside him: "Hurry up and find cars, sedans and horses!"

The officers and soldiers did not dare to delay the demands of these big bosses, but they turned around like headless chickens.

The entire front of Zhengyang Gate was in chaos because of such a surprise attack by His Majesty the Emperor.

……

wind.

It looks like the wind.

On the pipeline outside Zhengyang Gate, Zhu Yuanzhang held the stones on the cart with one hand on his hips and the other, looking forward with his head held high.

He could see clearly that the eldest grandson put the front vertical pole into the rightmost groove, and then his robe fluttered in the wind. Even though it was midsummer, it made him feel cool.

There is a sense of bumps under the feet from time to time, but it is continuous but not as violent as that of a carriage. It is very soothing and makes people have enough psychological preparation.

It's a very subtle feeling.

Although the cart under his feet was not as fast as galloping on horseback, it was faster than ordinary carriages.

Most importantly...

Zhu Yuanzhang silently looked back at the roaring steam engine with a column of smoke.

It can be done automatically without any human or animal effort.

And five thousand catties of rocks are in his hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became deeper and deeper, and finally he looked back at Zhu Yunxi who was still driving the car in front.

All of this was brought by my grandson.

"grandfather."

"grandfather?"

"grandfather!"

Zhu Yunxi looked back at the old man, calling out again and again, frowning.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were in a daze: "Huh? What's the matter?"

Zhu Yunxi moved the car: "Grandpa, we need to add coal to the stove."

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned dark when he heard the sound, and the bastard actually sent himself here.

With a cold snort, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward and kicked Zhu Yunxi: "Move away, let's drive, and you boy will add coal by yourself."

Zhu Yunxi secretly rolled his eyes helplessly, and said worriedly: "Grandpa, can you drive this thing?"

pat.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and slapped him, blowing his beard and staring: "What can't be opened, we don't know, can't you teach us?"

Nothing can be done.

Who called him the emperor of Ming Dynasty?

Still the kind of founding emperor.

Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to give up his position and signaled the old man to grab both ends of the bar.

"This crossbar is used to control the direction. You can go in whichever direction you push it, but you have to pay attention to the range. If you have time in the future, grandson wants to take Zhang Ergong and the others to improve the crossbar to make it lighter. "

"This crossbar, my grandson calls it a gear position. The one on the left is neutral, and the car will stop when you enter here. The one on the right is the fastest."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was holding the crossbar in his hand, like a child who got a toy, looking around dazzledly and nodding from time to time.

Then, under Zhu Yunxi's gaze, he let him manipulate for a while, which made Zhu Yunxi feel relieved.

"Then grandpa, you have to slow down, the lives of our grandpa and grandson are all in your hands."

Zhu Yunxi cupped his hands, and he still didn't forget to give a word of advice before he went to shovel coal.

When the time came, he pushed the gear lever to the lowest gear, and then rushed to the back to shovel coal.

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips: "Stinky boy, babble, there's a lot of babbling."

After chanting, looking at the vertical bar pushed to the lowest gear by Zhu Yunxi, he couldn't help but let out another cold snort of dissatisfaction.

Click twice.

The gear was pushed to the highest gear by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yunxi, who had already opened the combustion chamber of the steam engine and was shoveling coal into it, held a shovel in his hand, swayed around, then turned his head and glanced at the vertical pole pushed to the highest position by the old man, helpless and helpless, he could only smile bitterly.

After filling up the coal in the combustion chamber, Zhu Yunxi opened another opening in the water chamber, took a bucket of water that was prepared to be on the car, and poured it in.

In an instant, the speed of the car slowed down.

"Boy, what's going on?"

As soon as the car slowed down, Zhu Yunxi heard the old man in front shout.

Hurrying to close the opening of the water storage room, Zhu Yunxi wiped his hands carelessly, and rushed back to the old man.

Zhu Yunxi looked worried: "Grandpa, you left Beijing alone without your own army. I'm afraid the ministers in the court will come to persuade you later."

The steam engine that added coal and water again slowly burst out with strong power.

The speed also picked up again.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted, and said indifferently: "My grandson is the hero who conquered the city. When will we be alone?"

At this time, a group of green forest tyrants came to block the road and rob, let's see if you still say that.

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head: "Because it doesn't agree with reason, I'm afraid I will be impeached if I turn around and talk to the court."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and pulled the bar vigorously with both hands.

Before Zhu Yunxi could react, the car carrying thousands of kilograms of weight went around a bend on the official road very smoothly.

Zhu Yunxi thought about it and looked around, only to realize that the old man had brought him to the eastern foot of Shenlie Mountain.

Before he could persuade the old man to rest for a while, a team with banners gave way to the side of the official road in the distance.

"That is……"

"That's His Majesty and Grandson!"

"How did these two appear here?"

The Xungui family, who had just returned to Beijing, stood on the side of the road full of surprise.

It is not common for the emperor and grandson to go out of Beijing alone.

"What kind of car does His Majesty drive?"

"You can run without a cow or a horse?"

A steam locomotive without oxen and horses is naturally a rare thing in today's Ming Dynasty.

Before the honorable family was confused and tried to figure out the cause of the matter, Zhu Yuanzhang had already put the gear on the lowest gear, and the speed of the steam locomotive gradually decreased.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor Grandson."

The Xungui family who returned to Beijing knelt on the side of the road and shouted.

Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, drove slowly to the side of the other party. The car never stopped, but he just said, "Say to the officials of the DPRK and China and the Imperial Army who are following behind, that I am fine."

Before these people took the order, the steam locomotive driven by Zhu Yuanzhang had already moved forward.

"The minister waits for orders."

Looking at the emperor and grandson who were driving away, the nobles here looked dazed, but they didn't dare to resist the order, so they had to continue to wait on the side of the road, waiting for the officials of the imperial court and the forbidden army to come over.

……

"You kid, take it over."

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang in the car waved his hand a little boringly and gave up the driving position.

Then he added: "This crossbar is really laborious, and I have to walk and stand all the way. Maybe I can add a seat at the back."

After Zhu Yunxi took over the car, he kept a low speed and waited for the imperial army to come over. He nodded and said, "This is already in the improvement plan behind Zhang Ergong."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed: "There is one more thing. This car can't be said to be used only when the weather is sunny. A carriage or cover should be added to the front and rear. Otherwise, if it rains and snows heavily, wouldn't people and goods be destroyed?"

Speaking of these, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of thoughts for a while.

"We still have to decide whether it is to carry people or to pull goods. Naturally, it is more delicate to carry people. Grandpa saw that the car is not bumpy on the road, which is quite amazing. I wonder if it can be more comfortable."

"If it's a haul, it should be stronger. There are official roads around Yingtian, and the traffic is smooth, but what about the south or the nine sides?"

"In addition, can this car be used for the army to charge the battle? Just like the Wugang car, but the speed is faster, hundreds of thousands of cars, smashing through the enemy's formation with overwhelming force?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts diverged from civilian use to military use. The more he talked, the more excited he became, and his eyes lit up.

Zhu Yunxi was also very surprised.

Isn't this a tank?

Most of the products in this world start from war, and the application and iteration of military technology is the fastest.

in the blink of an eye.

Even Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but recall that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were driving hundreds of steel steam cars and galloping on the barren grassland outside the Nine Frontiers.

What a grand scene that must have been.

However, the reality still has to be down-to-earth step by step.

Zhu Yunxi smiled silently: "The current steam engine is not enough to support the strength of the battlefield, but Suner is confident that in the future, Ming Dynasty will definitely not use the flesh and blood of soldiers to carve open the enemy's army formation."

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded, he knew this truth very well.

"Grandpa, the biggest wish in this life is to see Da Ming grow up with you."

"Grandpa is not in a hurry. Grandpa still has time, and he can still watch you grow into towering trees."

Because of the old man's words, Zhu Yunxi was a little touched.

Looking up at the official road ahead, at some point, the grandfather and grandson had already driven to the bank of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Yunxi silently pushed the gear to neutral, and the steam engine behind him heard the sound of the mechanism bearing gear strike.

He turned back to the steam engine and fiddled up and down twice. The chimney on the top of the steam engine whined and spewed white steam outwards.

Soon, a huge white cloud, accompanied by the breeze, rose slowly and climbed towards the blue sky.

At last.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi put his hands on the ground, and sat hanging on the edge of the frame, his legs bouncing back and forth slightly naturally.

And he also leaned back and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was standing behind him.

"Grandpa, Daming will become more and more prosperous and peaceful."

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips, facing the great river in the Central Plains that has been rushing for thousands of years, he straightened his chest, and his face was full of pride that Zhao Zhaoqing's history can't write down.

"So far, we can see the great river that the ancients saw."

"I have no regrets in my life."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yunxi with flickering eyes and said the last sentence.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "Grandpa, none of our people in Ming Dynasty can have a full stomach yet."

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a smile on his face, and asked back: "Grandpa and Daming still have you."

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his palm, put it on Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, supported his knee with one hand, bent down slowly, and hung on the edge of the frame like Zhu Yunxi.

"Recently, Grandpa often wakes up in the middle of the night."

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head, looking from the side, the old man's face already had some mottled marks of time.

His pale hair had made the founding king of Ming Dynasty, the reshaper of Chinese orthodoxy, quietly become an old man.

There is no trace of time.

Just because there are traces everywhere in the world.

Zhu Yunxi acted as a good observer at this time, quietly accompanying the old man.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly: "Every time I wake up at night, my grandfather can always see people and things from many years ago, see the miserable scenes of the people in the world, and hear the wailing voices of the people.

After tossing and turning, I thought of my old friends, most of them have been reincarnated as human beings now, as the people of Ming Dynasty.In the past, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, etc. must now enjoy the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty.

As a result, grandpa couldn't sleep more and more, and it was difficult to fall asleep. "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little excited, but also a little sad.

When he turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, he was already smiling, and reached out to pat Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, and then patted his cheek.

"So, grandpa is afraid every day, afraid that those people will come back again, afraid that the world will return to that time, and the people will fall into the situation of natural disasters and man-made disasters again.

Because of fear, grandpa has killed many people over the years.There are enemies of our family, and there are relatives and friends of our family. Grandpa killed Huaiyou heroes, corrupt scholars in the world, and corrupt officials.In the 27th year of Hongwu, Grandpa ordered to gather troops to conquer the north eleven times, but he killed all Qianyuan, but also let the grassland outside the Great Wall flow into rivers of blood. "

Zhu Yunxi echoed in a deep voice: "Grandpa is my Great Ming's magic tool for setting the country, and he is also the blessing of the world."

"Who can be called a divine tool in ancient and modern times?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and shook his head, then his expression sank: "In the future, you have to remember. In this world, anyone who violates the foundation of the country can be killed. There is only one thing, be lenient." People, even if the world is in turmoil, as long as you let the people have a bite to eat, no one can shake your position, and my family will never be replaced in the world."

When Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished his last words, the official road behind was already full of horseshoes.

Numerous officials were riding on horseback or in sedan chairs, yelling in disorder in this direction.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty's actions today are inappropriate to the country."

"Your Majesty also asks your Majesty to take the Eucharist as a priority in the future."

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang just turned his head for a glance, then looked at Zhu Yunxi in front of him, and gently patted the top of Zhu Yunxi's head with his palm: "Do you remember what Grandpa said?"

Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips tightly and nodded heavily.

"That's great!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply, his palms were already clasped on Zhu Yunxi's shoulders, and with a slight movement of his body, he was already standing on the official road with both feet.

And it so happened that Zhan Hui and other officials of the court, who had been hurriedly rushed to this scene just now, finally brought a cloud of officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army, saw it.

Although I didn't hear what the emperor and grandson said.

But just seeing this scene is enough to make Baiguan have countless daydreams.

Zhu Yunxi sat on the carriage frame and turned to look at the officials who rushed over.

Probably, in Grandpa's heart, as long as the country is uncertain, these people can be discarded, just like a strong man with a broken arm and Guan Gong scraping his bones.

dong dong.

Zhu Yunxi put his hands on the frame of the car, pushed his body forward, and stood firmly on the official road with both feet.

At this time, the officials surrounded the grandpa and grandson nervously.

It's just that before they open their mouths to persuade the emperor, they must not easily be alone in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already waved his hand, his face was reddish, full of joy.

"Today I glimpse something that has never been seen in the ages. It is my great fortune, a weapon of the community."

"Such credit must be rewarded to those who have merit."

Zhu Yunxi stood beside the old man with a smile, and said loudly at the right time: "Zhang Ergong and the household department, those who will serve as supervisors, step forward."
