Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 981

[Chapter 981]

“That’s true.” Chen Hu scratched his head and couldn’t help laughing.

Chang Wei nodded and continued, “The war in Yongzhou has come to an end. Your highness has sent a telegram asking you and this general to escort Mu Le Hongzhen back. There may be important things for you Lancers.”

“Yes General.” Chen Hu was excited for a while.

In the past year, King Yan either fought in the south or went to sea to fight. He hadn’t seen King Yan for a long time.

Naturally, he was looking forward to meeting this king of Yan whom he had always admired.

He was happy even if he was scolded a few times.

The next day, he got up early and waited for Chang Wei at the gate of the government office.

The sun rose to the tip of the willows, Chang Wei came out from the government office, and the two went to the east bank of the Jin River.

Accompanying them is Mu Le Hongzhen, who is very tied up.

After taking the ferry to the east bank, the group arrived at the station.

At this time, a steam locomotive was waiting in the station.

At this time, Chang Wei pulled out the rag from Mule Hongzhen’s mouth.

Chen Hu was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly tried to stop him.

Mu Lehong was also stunned, and was about to bite his tongue and kill himself.

Chang Wei’s faint voice sounded, “His Royal Highness Yan Wang said, biting your tongue to kill yourself is a lie, even if you bite off your tongue, you can save yourself, and then you will only become dumb.”

Chen Hu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, Eyes turned to Mule Hongzhen.

Seeing that Mu Lehong’s face turned red, he suddenly yelled, “Kill me, kill me!”

Shaking his head lightly, Chang Wei sneered, “It’s a pity to kill you, don’t you want to use Da Song Do you have it for yourself? Today, I will let you see Dasong’s rivers and mountains, and satisfy your greed. Of course, I will also let you give up and let you understand a truth. You Beidi will never be able to touch Dasong again.”

“Nonsense, as long as I, Beidi, have a son, I, Beidi, will be the one who kills you in the future.” Mu Lehong shouted like a madman.

Chang Wei didn’t pay attention to Mu Le Hongzhen anymore, just waiting for the steam locomotive to leave.

“Woooooo…” A quarter of an hour later, the steam locomotive whistled loudly.

A black steam locomotive slowly approached Chang Wei.

Mu Lehong, who was still yelling and scolding, saw it. He couldn’t even utter a word with his open mouth, and his eyes were fixed on the giant steel beast in front of him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt an uncontrollable fear rising from his heart.

He wants to ask Chang Wei what is this? But because of his face, he didn’t ask anything.

Can only be full of surprise, was escorted up by Dasong soldiers, and sat by the window on one side.

Chang Wei and Chen Hu sat opposite him.

“Wooooow…” After waiting for a while, the steam locomotive roared again and began to move forward slowly, while the scenery outside the window accelerated and reversed.

Mule Hongzhen was obviously frightened. He unconsciously grabbed the edge of the car window, just like grabbing the reins of a war horse.

Even though he was well-informed, he still couldn’t remain calm in the face of this giant steel beast that he had never seen before.

After all, this is too shocking.

Chang Wei and Chen Hu noticed Mu Lehong’s true expression and smiled at each other.

“This thing is called a steam locomotive, and the thing under the steam locomotive is called a rail. Now there are rails laid in the entire north of Dasong, allowing the steam locomotive to go anywhere.” Chang Wei said lightly.

“Sure enough, it’s what Ulanba said. Ulanba has seen this thing in the country of Ross. It’s nothing special.” Mu Lehong really pretended to be calm, but in fact he was extremely shocked.

He couldn’t imagine how Da Song got this thing.

Because according to Ulan Ba, the steam locomotive is the pinnacle of the steam industry in the West.

“It’s really nothing special, but our plan is to spread the railway to the grassland.” Chang Wei tilted his head and looked at Mu Le Hongzhen.

Hearing this sentence, Mu Lehong really couldn’t help but tremble, but he didn’t say anything.

Chang Wei continued, “I’ll tell you one more thing. Yongzhou originally only had Ma Han’s 80,000 White Tiger Army, but it only took us three days to mobilize the 150,000 Central Army and 50,000 troops stationed in Ningjindusi. The Xuanwu army has been transported to Yongzhou, including food, supplies, artillery and ammunition.”

Mule Hongzhen couldn’t help but tighten his hand holding the window.

At this moment, his heart sank to the bottom of the water.

Ningjindusi is two thousand miles away from Yongzhou.

In three days, Ning Jindusi’s soldiers and horses can reach Yongzhou, which is several times faster than their Beidi cavalry.

Originally, Da Song’s Lancers made him very desperate.

But he held the idea that the vast grassland was enough for Beidi people to hide, and believed that Beidi could still avoid the pursuit of the Lancers and rise again.

Now, Chang Wei’s words were undoubtedly another blow to him.

If Dasong really laid the railway to the grassland and supplemented by Lancers, they would really have no way out in Beidi.

“Mu Le Hongzhen, the era of your Beidi has passed.” Chang Wei said again, full of sarcasm.

After that, he didn’t speak anymore, just closed his eyes and meditated.

“Hmph, hum…” The only sound left in the carriage was the galloping sound of the steam locomotive.

Mu Lehongzhen’s head was blank, motionless like a dead old tree, looking out the window.

Starting from the east bank of the Jin River, the steam locomotive first arrived in Jincheng.

This city, which was devastated by the war, is now glowing with new vitality because of the rich coal in Jinzhou, which has attracted a large number of merchants and people to settle here.

On the clean and straight concrete roads in the city, there was a lot of noise at the moment.

Merchants pull carriages full of goods to replenish the out-of-stock shops along the street.

The common people carried radishes, cabbages, and chickens and ducks raised by themselves and sold them along the street. Even if the clothes were not clean, they were all in order, and there was no one who was naked.

The restaurant’s wine and dishes are fragrant, merchants and common people fill the lobby, cups and cups are intertwined.

It was the end of school time, and the schoolchildren came out of the school in a single file, and went home wearing uniform school uniforms.

In the workshop, it was time for the workers to eat.

They either take to the streets to eat roadside snacks, or cook in the workshop canteen.

These pictures just flashed by, and Mu Lehong really understood some of them, and some couldn’t understand them.

But he could feel the vigorous vitality that Da Song was glowing with, which was a kind of vitality that frightened him.

The steam locomotive continued on, passed through Jincheng, and passed through three counties.

Although this county is not as prosperous as Jincheng, the people seem to be well-off. Suddenly, they no longer have the miserable appearance of hunger, cold and starvation, and all of them have become stronger.

All this made Mule Hongzhen more and more uneasy.

One day and one night, he couldn’t eat a drop of water or a mouthful of food.

After entering Yanzhou, he couldn’t eat anymore.

As the former land of King Yan, the place that benefited most from development, even the county seat of Yanzhou can be compared with Jincheng, not to mention the prosperity of the county.

He really thought that the wealthiest wealthy families in the world gathered in these county mansions, and most of them were glamorous.

After another half day of driving, the steam locomotive entered Yancheng.

I saw the two big characters Yancheng on the city wall.

Mule Hongzhen suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness and passed out.
