Iron Dynasty

A slightly solemn atmosphere permeated the main hall.

Li San's words made Xiao Ming frown slightly. This very mysterious organization in contemporary history seems to be more active in this era.

If you don't experience history in person, you can't appreciate the taste of history. Xiao Ming only swiped it in books before, but now he has to pay attention to it.

After all, he is now in the whirlpool of history, and the current situation is much worse than the contemporary one.

They think their success in France can be replicated here? Delusional. Xiao Ming sneered and practiced, he said, Keep watching them, there is a chance to catch a live one for me.

Yes, Your Majesty. Li San responded.

After a pause, he continued: Your Majesty, the lower official thinks that the Qinglong King is more troublesome than Cao Kun, and now, under his bewitchment, many people believe his words and join him in the Merchant Council, and now there is a song Children's songs spread.

Oh? Let's hear it. Xiao Ming became interested.

Li Sannian said: The dynasty is prosperous, the dynasty is destroyed, the poor and lowly have been hard to live since ancient times, the door is opened to welcome the Qinglong King, the discipline of young and old is happy, the white horse is led, the wine is delivered, the city gate is opened, the Dragon King, the Dragon King does not accept food, does not ask for father. , don't ask for mother, if you don't have enough food, there will be a dragon king.

No food? How long can this beautiful lie last? Xiao Ming sighed in a low voice.

Li San said: As Pang Shoufu said, people are easily deceived.

Yes, the Qinglong King has already succeeded once in Jizhou, and now he is more familiar with it. Xiao Ming clenched his fists.

Although he still has the title of an emperor, the system of the Great Yu Kingdom has become more and more modern, and it is more and more suitable for the life of the people.

In Xiao Ming's view, it doesn't matter whether he is in the name of the emperor or not. After all, even in a country with a monarchy in the contemporary world, do their people live in dire straits?

What's more, what is the difference between the president and the emperor, who is the head of state in command of the three armies? The only difference is that they create an illusion through the media.

For him, he can play this set too, but what's the point of it? Who can be more forward-looking than him in this era.

If the merchants' council is changed to rule the country, it is just that the wealthy family has become a member of parliament, just as the county magistrate in the late Qing Dynasty turned into a revolutionary.

Coupled with the urine nature of these people, it is estimated that the Great Yu Kingdom will soon be torn apart, and the warlords will fight. After all, there are lessons for future generations.

You don't have to worry about this matter. The Qinglong King is just playing this banner now. He can't fulfill his promise. What he needs most in war is food and grass. If he doesn't pay food, he can only go to grab food. It's not the food of the people and the wealthy who don't follow him. In the long run, they will be angry and resentful, and once the people understand it, they will fall to me. Xiao Ming said confidently.

Now, both the Merchant Council and the Qinglong King are grass-roots teams to him. This drama will not last long, and there is no other reason, because he is confident that the national system after his reform will be more attractive.

The eyes of the common people are sharp, as long as they see the facts with their own eyes, they will make the most correct choice, so now he only needs to manage Chu State well.

In order to achieve this goal, he will mobilize students from the School of Political Affairs of Qingzhou University to come to Chu State to serve in the country. After years of training, his reserve of talents is gradually abundant.

The most important thing is that he is ready to completely transform the state of Chu, because the development potential of the front line from Suzhou to Lin'an is huge, and it is also a famous economic zone in later generations, especially Songjiang, which is Shanghai in later generations, with unique geographical conditions.

The emperor is far-sighted, the minister thinks too much. Li San breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ming smiled, and he said, But even so, in order to let the people come to you, you have to step up your guards. The Qinglong King can confuse the people, and you can do the same. As long as you let the people see a prosperous future, they will definitely back.

Li Sanzhong nodded his head, Your Majesty, rest assured, this minister will live up to his expectations.

After that, Li San bowed and left.

When Li Sanyi left, Niu Ben and Luo Quan walked in, glanced at the map, and Niu Ben said, Your Majesty, the materials and people in Suzhou City have been counted. Those that were not taken were burned, many people were robbed of food, and many people died, and now there are only 800,000 people in the city of more than 1 million people, and about 200,000 people acted as parliamentarians. A civilian who transports grain for the army.

Hahaha... Hearing this news, Xiao Ming suddenly burst out laughing.

Niu Ben and Luo Quan asked in confusion; Why is the emperor laughing?

Xiao Ming explained: What I'm laughing at is that the parliamentary army is just a group of bandits after all, and it can't make it to the stage.

Luo Quan and Niu Ben suddenly came back to their senses, and Niu Ben said, Yes, our soldiers never harassed the people wherever they went, nor did they take anything from the people, let alone kill them. Now the parliamentary army is burning food and grass, not to mention , but also in order to gather food and grass to snatch and kill, so it will definitely make the people hate it.

That's what I said, so you have to constrain the soldiers, let the people see what the style of Master Wang's entry into the city is, and distribute some military rations to the people so that the people can survive the cold winter. Xiao Ming said loudly.

The two nodded when they heard the words.

Then Luo Quan asked: Your Majesty, this is the attack plan drawn up by the ministers, and strive to recover the entire territory of Chu within two months.

Xiao Ming took it over and took a look. The above is the order of the next attack, the deployment of troops and provisions. According to Luo Quan's plan, they will use Songjiang, Jiaxing, and Suzhou as the three strongholds to advance steadily and steadily to the south.

Well, let's do it this way. Xiao Ming agreed. Two months was already a short time. After all, the country of Chu was relatively large. It would take a long time to walk from south to north and from east to west.

...

Qingzhou, when the war in the south was in full swing, a major event was happening here.

After passing through the gloomy atmosphere of the students fleeing, the electric power research laboratory headed by Su Liangcai successfully used the small thermal power generation facility established to produce electricity.

After learning the news, Pang Yukun personally went to the scene. While the war was going on, various developments in the Great Yu Kingdom were also going on.

At this time, Su Liangcai's success in running the power generation equipment is undoubtedly an encouraging event.

Pang Shoufu, please take a look. Su Liangcai pointed at the equipment in front of him proudly.

In front of him is a large horizontal generator, which is now turning under the rotational motion of the steam engine, and connected to the steam engine is a large boiler, in which workers are filling coal, the electricity generated from the generator It's spinning an electric motor that's smoother and more stable than a steam engine.
