    When Wu Di broke up with You Shiwei, he was almost at the door of his house.  He boarded the carriage in a symbolic gesture, but soon had to get off the carriage. He was welcomed by the whole family along the street and entered the inner house to change clothes. After a short break, he had lunch.  While waiting for lunch, Wu Di should have listened to the butler's report so that he could know who had been here during this period. However, at this moment, he excluded the servants and closed his eyes alone to rest.  "I'm afraid the master is tired." The family members speculated one after another.  In fact, Wu Dong didn¡¯t feel tired, but vaguely saw an opportunity.  This is the opportunity that You Shiwei personally delivered to your door.  The defeat of the Syr Darya River will obviously affect the empire's business strategy in the Western Regions. Whether it is fighting or pacifying, there must be a charter.  The intention of the Governor's Office is to slow down for a while and further increase the number of main forces in the Western Region. Even Wang Yi's tank division or Luo Yukun's Southwest Group Army can be transferred there.  This may make people wonder, why do we need to discuss the deployment of troops with the cabinet?  The key is that these soldiers have to eat and clothe themselves.  The Ming Dynasty only had land reclamation divisions in Haixi and Nurgan.  They are called teachers, but they are actually farmers under military management.  In addition, other troops, whether they are the main army or the border guards, are not allowed to engage in commerce or carry out reclamation.  Although the General Logistics Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office can dispatch supplies and baggage, this requires the cooperation of the civil affairs officials.  In particular, whether Long Province can carry out land planning in a targeted manner, shorten the supply line, and increase the supply volume, the power of suggestion lies with the Metropolitan Governor's Office, but the operation lies with the civil servants.  If this incident alone is not enough for You Shiwei to come to Wu Di.  " What You Shiwei really hopes Wu Dong can help is the laying of the first long-distance railway line in Ming Dynasty.  After the National Revolution, due to the fall of Shenjing, a large number of people were unable to mobilize, resulting in a shortage of labor.  His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who was in Qiandi at that time, therefore developed Mohist techniques and used machinery to reduce manpower consumption.  Replenish military strength as soon as possible.  In the 18th year of Chongzhen, the four-wheeled heavy-duty safety car appeared in Shandong, and at the same time, the track appeared.  The original track used wood. This kind of wood not only has high requirements for the wood, but also must be fully dried in the shade, otherwise it will be easily deformed and rotted.  Not to mention the high time cost.  The carrying capacity is also unsatisfactory.  Then there were railroad tracks, but they were unsatisfactory because of insufficient metallurgical technology.  Later, with the strong rise of chemistry, great progress was made in metallurgy, and durable wrought iron rails were finally able to be manufactured. With the increase in mines and smelters, the supply of wrought iron tended to be saturated, which could not only satisfy the domestic demand.  Iron for military and civilian use is still very prosperous, and it is even exported.  The twenty-second year of Chongzhen.  After four years of research and development, the steam-powered train was successfully trial-produced. Although it was slower than walking speed and had no practical value due to its excessive weight, it finally ushered in the advent of the steam age.  Now eleven years have passed, with the progress of mathematics, especially calculus.  The efficiency of the Ming Dynasty's steam engine has reached dozens of times that of the No. 1 engine, which is fully sufficient for laying railways.  The steam revolution was about to change the world.  During the fifteen years of research, the imperial court invested a total of more than 20 million taels, a total of 3,000 designers participated, and countless private capital participated.  As a result, the imperial court obtained nearly a thousand patents, and hundreds of patents were purchased from the private sector.  In October of the ninth year of Longjing, test data showed that the train finally reached application standards.  Now all it takes is a railway of hundreds of kilometers to perform the greatest miracle on earth.  However, where the railway should be laid has become a focus of controversy.  The ministers in the south hope that it can be placed in the south, which can speed up logistics and create more economic value.  However, the terrain in the south is characterized by mountains and water, which is too difficult for the nascent railway laying engineering team.  ?Same reason.  Northern ministers also hope that the railway can run from the capital to their doorsteps, not only to revitalize their hometowns, but also to make it easier for them to go home and visit relatives.  Moreover, the topography of the North China Plain is more suitable for workers to practice their skills and accumulate experience.  Nowadays, the most popular ones are from the capital to Zhangjiakou and from the capital to Tianjin.  The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Line is more difficult to build than the Beijing-Tianjin Line, and the distance is nearly twice that of the Beijing-Tianjin Line.  In terms of economy and people's livelihood, it is obviously better to build the Beijing-Tianjin line first.  However, Zhangjiakou is an important gateway to the desert and the first line of assimilation of Mongolians. Prioritizing the opening of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Line and increasing China's influence on Mongolia will undoubtedly have a strategic advantage over the Beijing-Tianjin Line.  Therefore, some people technically support building the Beijing-Tianjin Railway first, while others strategically insist on building the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway first. However, the Metropolitan Governor's Office starts from the actual war needs and hopes that the cabinet can support the military in building a railway from Lanzhou to Jiayuguan, preferably from Lanzhou to Jiayuguan.  Direct railway to Luntai.  In Wu Xing¡¯s opinion, he wants to fly before he has learned to walk!  But You Shiwei also opened aThe price is very attractive. If the cabinet can support the priority of laying railways in the Western Region, the Metropolitan Governor's Office will give up the right to supervise the road.  In the Ming Dynasty, important waterways such as the Yangtze River and the Canal originally had Hebing and Caoding.  After liberation, these human resources were naturally taken over by the military and incorporated into the direct logistics units.  According to this practice, after the railway is built, road soldiers will inevitably be needed, and they will naturally be controlled by the Metropolitan Governor's Office.  Even if the cabinet wants to fight, it is neither in line with tradition nor has a strong reason, and it seems unreasonable.  On the contrary, if the metropolitan governor's office does not want this right of way, and the security along the way is assigned to each prefecture and county, at least a large chunk of the budget can be saved.  Moreover, large-scale mobilization of the army in the future will undoubtedly be influenced by civilian officials and may even become a constraint.  "Master, there is a young scholar outside asking to see him, and he is bringing two children with him." The housekeeper came in cautiously, interrupting Wu Xing's nap.  Wu Di raised his eyes displeased and asked, "Who are you celebrating the New Year?" The housekeeper stepped forward and handed over a gold-gilded letter. Wu Di took it casually, opened it, and jumped from his chair.  He stood up and said repeatedly: "Open the middle door and invite them in, and welcome the guests in the middle hall." The housekeeper felt that the visitors were no ordinary people, even the two children looked different.  Seeing that his master was so cautious, he couldn't help but think: This person is not a prince!  There are quite a few princes, princes, and princes in the capital today.  But during the Chinese New Year, which prince or prince would come to the chief minister¡¯s house?  Isn¡¯t this harming others but not benefiting oneself?  It made the first assistant uncomfortable during the New Year, and he himself was also uncomfortable.  The person who came was none other than the current emperor, Longjing Emperor Zhu Cixiang.  Zhu Cixiang walked through the front hall, led the second prince Zhu Heqi and the third prince Zhu Heyuan into the middle hall.  Wu Di was already waiting in the hall, bowing his hands in greeting, not knowing what to call him.  "Sir, I wish you a happy New Year and everything goes well." Zhu Cixiang said with a smile and cupped his hands.  Wu Di quickly returned the gift and said: "Good luck, good luck, God bless the emperor." Zhu Cihong asked the two princes to pay Wu Di a New Year's greetings, and then he sat down in the guest of honor seat and said, "Come and have a meal, old gentleman.  "Don't mind." "It's really brilliant!" Wu Yan suddenly realized that the emperor was wearing a royal blue robe, which he often wore in his dormitory, and he couldn't help but relax.  Speaking of which, I was also a hero who shared the joys and sorrows with the emperor. During the time of Taizu and Chengzu, the relationship was like that of family members.  Zhu Cixiang was obviously not polite. When Wu Zong sat down, he said directly: "Have breakfast with Youdu this morning." It happened that the butler came in with tea. Hearing these words, he suddenly trembled and almost knocked over the tea cup.  ¡ª¡ªYou are so young, you have dinner with the general in the morning and at the house of the chief minister at noon King Ding and King Yong are now in North Korea and Australia. How can there be such an old prince in the capital?  He's not a liar, is he?  While the butler was serving tea, he secretly glanced at Zhu Cihong.  Zhu Cixiang didn¡¯t mind either, but he just didn¡¯t continue.  Although it was only a two-second delay, Wu Di made a dissatisfied dry cough as if a hundred years had passed.  The butler quickly retreated.  Zhu Cixiang continued: "During the dinner, Yudu said that the Battle of Syr Darya was the Talas of our Ming Dynasty." - It turns out that everyone would associate it with it like this!  Wu Di sighed in his heart, and saw that the emperor didn't feel any displeasure when he said this, and there was a smile on his face, which meant he didn't take it to heart.  "Oh, well, if it really was Talos, I think it would be a glorious thing even though it failed." Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "After all, you need qualifications to fight thousands of miles away, right." "That's right! If you are weak,  Song Naban has no chance of defeating Talos!" Zhu Heqi suddenly interrupted.  In fact, he still doesn't know what happened to the defeat of Talas.  Wu Di couldn't help but smile.  The emperor also smiled and touched his second son¡¯s newly grown hair.  Now the second prince Zhu Heqi has reached the time to tie up his hair and prepare to study. He needs to grow his hair long and comb it into a ponytail on the back of his head. It will take two years before he can wear his hair in a bun.  The third prince Zhu Heyuan who came with him was only six years old. He still had his hair in his hair and looked dumbly unaware of what the adults were talking about.  "The Song Dynasty may not be really weak." Zhu Cixiang confessed to his son and continued to talk to Wu Di: "But this defeat is a bit unjust, and You Du feels guilty." "You Du also blamed himself too much." Wu Di said: "Tu  It doesn't matter if the generals lose the battle. Especially Heshuote and Junggar are always a little unruly, so it may not be a good thing to suffer a small loss." Zhu Cixiang knew that You Shiwei had this intention at first, so he did not let the Northwest Group Army follow.  To be honest, if the northwestThe Guards and the Cavalry followed, and it was doubtful whether there would be a fight between Tulubaihu and Sengge.  "Too many people have died, and it's mainly about the military flag." Zhu Cihong said.  "What military flag?" Wu Di did not hear You Shiwei mention this matter.  "After enthroning Heshuote and Junggar, I also gave them the qualification to fly the Golden Dragon Red Flag." Zhu Cixiang said: "This time the army was defeated, the Golden Dragon Red Flag may have been taken away." "Our army has never lost the flag in defeat.  What happened!" Wu Zong was also quite sorry, thinking that this was a stain on the Ming Dynasty's red flag.  "Although the military flag was lost, looking at it from another perspective: At least I was not killed." Zhu Cixiang suppressed his smile and added: "Besides, the battle is not over yet, there is always a chance to get it back."
