Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 318 Pay Attention to Image

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said to Song Yingxing: "Load the goods!"

"Observe the order!" Song Yingxing immediately bowed to accept the order, then stepped back a few steps, turned around, and ordered the railway soldiers who had already been waiting there: "Your Majesty has an order, load the goods!"

He Fengsheng and the others heard it a little strangely, loading?What are you loading?

So, they all turned their heads to look, and then, one by one... they were dumbfounded!
I saw those railway soldiers rushing over to flat carriages one after another. Those carriages were all covered with sleepers and steel rails.The most important thing is that these railway soldiers actually moved all these sleepers and steel rails into the freight cars of the train.

Moreover, this is not just a flatbed carriage, but a flatbed carriage is parked at the door of the seven freight cars, and then the railway soldiers are moving those things into the freight cars.

"Your Majesty, this..." He Fengsheng, who came back to his senses, couldn't help turning his head, looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and asked cautiously, "Didn't Your Majesty make a bet with the ministers? What's the meaning of this?"

When the others heard it, they immediately turned their heads and looked at Emperor Chongzhen waiting for his reply. Don't think that they might lose, so they put heavy objects in the car, and then they can find a reason if they lose, right?

When Emperor Chongzhen heard He Fengsheng's question, he replied inexplicably: "What do you mean, this?"

As he said that, he pointed to the busy railway soldiers, and immediately replied: "Loading! I'm going to lay the railway from Tongzhou to Tianjin Port again, and the materials made by the capital will be transported there. When I turn around, I will continue A new railway workshop will be specially built in Tongzhou, so there is no need to transport it from the capital!"

"..." He Fengsheng didn't know whether Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand what he meant, or he was pretending to be deaf and dumb. After being speechless for a while, he had no choice but to point out, "Your Majesty, if this steam train is loaded with so many heavy things , then this bet will be changed?"

"Change?" Emperor Chongzhen asked strangely after hearing this, "Why do you want to change?"

Speaking of this, after seeing the expressions of these courtiers, I suddenly realized, and then laughed and said: "Don't worry, Qing, the bet will never be changed. Even if it is a competition, this steam train must be loaded? Otherwise, If it's just empty running, so what if I win the carriage, what use do I want?"

"..." He Fengsheng and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was suspicion in each other's eyes.

They were not stupid, so they naturally heard the strong self-confidence in Emperor Chongzhen's words.

From a human point of view, they judged from various signs that the steam train must win!
However, from their cognition point of view, this steam train is so heavy, and it has so many loads of goods, this steam train can run as fast as a carriage, even if it can move, it is outrageous !
To be honest, at this moment, they are really a little undecided, who will win!

"Come, come, Zhuqing, let's sit in the passenger compartment with me, and go to Tongzhou together!" Emperor Chongzhen invited them with a smile when he saw them like that.

This time, the reason why he brought his wife and children out was to take a ride on this steam train and experience the speed of the steam train seen in the video.

"..." He Fengsheng, Huang Zongzhou, Zuo Maodi and the others were speechless when they heard this. You look at me and I look at you. For a while, they didn't know how to reply Emperor Chongzhen.

On the other hand, Wang Chengen heard it, and immediately stepped forward and played to the Emperor Chongzhen: "Long Live Lord, this first train, let the slaves go to the Long Live Lord to find out the way first! And there is no preparation in Tongzhou. The slaves will take the factory guards first."

Hearing this, Empress Zhou understood what he meant. After all, this was a new thing. Wang Chengen was afraid that the emperor would be in a car, what if there was any danger, so he wanted to go for the emperor first.

Although, she thinks there should be no problem.However, considering Emperor Chongzhen's ten thousand gold body, he finally said: "Your Majesty, let him take the factory guard there first!"

Emperor Chongzhen was in high spirits, and he didn't want to agree to what Wang Chengen said, but Empress Zhou also said the same.In this large court, the queen always has to give her face.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to suppress his impatient thoughts, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go first, big companion!"

There are three passenger cars, the front car is for the emperor's family.Therefore, Wang Chengen immediately called the factory guard and boarded the two carriages behind.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at it for a while, and suddenly remembered something, so he smiled and said to He Fengsheng: "He Qing, the carriage used for your competition is also ready! Turn around and finish the installation here, and you can start the competition!"

After hearing this, He Fengsheng had no choice but to accept the order, and then turned to look at his colleagues.

"The horse is about to be chosen!" Ni Yuanlu reminded in a low voice when she saw her.

As it was related to the gambling contract and the matter of saints and sages, Huang Daozhou also lowered his face and ordered in a low voice: "Don't pretend to be too serious!"

The others also muttered, making their own ideas, and then went to prepare the carriage.

Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen pretended not to see it, and just looked at the huge steam train with a smile, turning his head from time to time, and said something to Queen Zhou and the others.

After a long time, finally the steam train and the carriage with tall horses were all ready.

The train driver is also burning the stove.

Song Yingxing explained to the train driver for a while, and then slipped around the long train carriage. After checking that there was no problem, he returned to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and added: "The current load of the train is half of the approved load."

Obviously, Song Yingxing also wanted the train to win very much. In order to be safe, he did not come to the game with a full load.

But in the eyes of outsiders, this train can pull things at one time, which is beyond their cognition, there are too many of them!
Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly at this, then looked at He Fengsheng and the others and said, "How about it, let's start?"

He Fengsheng listened, and when he was about to reply, he heard Zuo Maodi play first: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, I still need to do something!"

Emperor Chongzhen was a little strange when he heard it, but he didn't stop him, just nodded, and then looked a little curious to see what he was going to do.

Zuo Maodi summoned an attendant not far away, and told him: "Take a few people immediately, and go forward quickly, and disperse the good-for-nothing people who block the way on the official road, and don't hinder the competition!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he couldn't help but secretly praised him. This is very thoughtful, but it's okay, just feel free!
He Fengsheng and the others nodded slightly in approval.

When everything was ready, Emperor Chongzhen himself spoke, smiled and waved: "Start!"

As soon as he gave the order, the groom who was driving the carriage quickly waved his whip and shouted at the same time: "Drive!"

The carriage jumped out immediately and ran steadily to the starting point.

He Fengsheng and the others immediately turned their attention to the huge steam train. They really wanted to see how fast this steam train was!Or rather, how did it move.

I just heard that the steam train suddenly "farted a lot", thick fog spewed out immediately, and a whistle sounded, and the steam train really started to move.

When He Fengsheng and the others saw it, they were surprised at first, but after seeing it clearly, they couldn't help laughing.

The carriage ran far away, and the steam train started to move, and judging by its posture, it seemed to be moving at a snail's pace, or in other words, like an old scalper who couldn't move, and barely moved. look.

This game must be a gift!
They immediately cheered up, and Ni Yuanlu said in a loud voice, "That's right, such a heavy car has to pull so many goods and people, it's hard for it to move!"

After He Fengsheng and the others heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Emperor Chongzhen cheerfully, thinking in their hearts, what should be said to allow the emperor to have a step down, but not let the emperor play tricks!
But at this moment, they suddenly stopped moving again, just staring at the steam train.

Because of the speed of the steam train, it seems to be slowly picking up.It is the kind that is very slow at the beginning, and then it can be seen that the speed is obviously increasing.

This……

When the steam train left the train station, the speed was significantly faster, about as fast as ordinary people walking quickly.

To be able to walk so fast while pulling such a heavy thing, to be honest, He Fengsheng and the others were shocked!

When they came back to their senses, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, at this moment, the carriage had disappeared.Although the speed of the steam train exceeded their expectations, the bet can still be won!
When they thought this way, they found that Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem nervous at all.He even rewarded them with good tea in the palace and asked them to go back and wait to see if the carriage or the steam train would turn back first.

After Emperor Chongzhen returned to the station master's office with his wife and children, everyone burst into laughter.

Concubine Tian Gui was the first to hold back, she laughed so hard, she pointed in the direction of the civil servants and said, "What a bunch of ignorant and ignorant old men, stubborn, haha..."

"Attention, attention!" Queen Zhou coughed when she saw it, and had to remind her to pay attention to her image.

Afterwards, she couldn't help laughing as she thought about how shocked those old men would be when the steam train came back first.

After closing the door, they are all from the palace, so just laugh!
He Fengsheng and the others were actually a little suspicious.When they observed the expressions of the emperor and others, they felt something was wrong.However, they would never believe that the steam train could outperform the horse-drawn carriage.

While they were discussing, they didn't know how long it had passed. Suddenly, they felt as if there was something. When they were wondering, a voice suddenly sounded, making them all stand up in shock.

This sound is nothing but the unique whistle of steam trains!
