I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Of course, because of Ming Dynasty's strategy of elite soldiers, there are not many Ganshan guys who are lucky enough to be able to enter the Royal Army.

They are more invested in the fiery wave of China's revival in another way.

When the railway was completed, some of the road construction migrant workers stayed in the road construction team to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the railway, or left their hometowns to build new railways in other provinces.

Another part of migrant workers entered the Lanzhou Industrial Park and became honorable industrial workers.

This industrial park had already started to be built before the establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Its main products were nothing but steel, weapons, and refined oil.

Almost all the military materials transported to Western Chu and exported to the Song Dynasty and various Indian states were produced here.

Both Shenzhou and Nanyang command and envoys also purchased part of their equipment from Lanzhou Arsenal.

So when Zhu Fugui's special train was galloping on the Xinyi Railway, he saw several evasive trains carrying weapons.

After a day and a night, Zhu Fugui finally arrived in Yili.

The Lanyi Line extends from here to Almaty, which is more than 100 kilometers away in the Western Chu territory.

Since then, there has been no railway to the west.

The Kazakh hills and the western foot of the Tianshan Mountains made future construction difficult.

In addition, the local tribal forces are still very strong, posing a serious threat to the railway.

But in Zhu Fugui's view, in the final analysis, the benefits are not enough.

Daming's supplies arrived in Almaty, which was enough for Xichu.

Redistribution from Almaty was not fundamentally different from redistribution from Cannes.

But Zhu Fugui has reasons to believe that after the discovery of the Caspian Sea oil field, these railways will be quickly repaired.

What tribal forces, what Kazakh hills, all go to hell.

If anyone does not want to be respectable, gunfire and explosives will make them respectable.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the technological point of the oil pipeline was pointed out by Daming in advance.

Once the technology of oil pipelines is available, the importance of railways will be greatly reduced.

From Almaty, Zhu Fugui boarded the airship Fathead Fish again.

In fact, the airship Fathead Fish has been following the train.

As a suspended aircraft, the airship has no doubts about its endurance.

It's just that no matter how safe the helium airship imported by the 21st century crafts for the emperor is, it is definitely not as safe as the train. Zhu Fugui would not take the airship if he could not take the airship.

When Zhu Fugui arrived in Suiye City, it was another day later.

At this point in time, Alexander II and William II had arrived a few days earlier.

After Zhu Fugui learned the news by radio, a big stone fell to his heart.

My reputation as the number one honest young man in the [-]th century has finally not been humiliated.

Although Zhu Fugui's trip this time was relatively hasty, it was not because of two or three kittens.

In fact, a whole regiment of guards accompanied them.

So when the 36 airships slowly landed in front of the gate of Suiye City, there was still a sense of grandeur that covered the sky and the sun.

Elder Zuo was dressed in princely attire, and Zhao Xizhu was wearing the gown of the Great Capital Protector. Headed by the two of them, the officials of the Western Regions Protectorate and the Western Chu Kingdom had already been waiting for a long time.

The carefully selected Western Chu army stood upright like javelins, and the demeanor of the Xiaoming army made Zhu Fugui nod his head.

Only such a Han family can take root in the land of Central Asia!

Of course, the troops on Daming's side were even more magnificent, and no matter what they said, they couldn't let the Chu army compare.

In addition to the Ming army and the Chu army, there are a few foreigners who seem quite out of place.

Zhu Fugui got off the airship, exchanged greetings with Zuo Zongtang and others, and then hugged one of the young people and another middle-aged man in purple robe.

"William, Alexander, Your Majesty, I am late!"

Chapter 881 The fellow opens the door and sends enlightenment!

Of course it is impossible for Zhu Fugui to speak a foreign language on a formal diplomatic occasion, especially in such a large audience.

It is none other than Ivana, Princess of Judah, who is the beauty interpreter for this important meeting.

The little follower who followed Zhu Fugui with a snotty nose back then is now a slim girl.

She skillfully switches between Daming Yayan, German, and French for translation.

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the upper class in Russia basically spoke French, especially in diplomatic occasions, speaking Russian would be considered vulgar and uneducated.

This time, however, things were different.

"We've given up on the ugly, vulgar language of French."

Alexander II shook his head at Ivana first.

Then, imitating the etiquette of Ming Dynasty, he cupped his fists nondescriptly at Zhu Fugui.

"Respected Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, my long-lost brother, His Majesty Zhu Fugui, I send my greetings to you!"

Zhu Fugui also complimented him a few words, talked about his daughter's study in Fengdu, and praised him as the person who best understood the thinking of the great writer Huang He, and the most potential Huang scholar in the world.

Alexander II asked strangely: "Isn't Maria studying economics? Huang Xue? What is that?"

Zhu Fugui was stunned, and quickly said nonsense: "Oh, my dear Alexander, you know that our Daming pays attention to quality education, and every child should have his own hobbies, and your daughter is very good, she likes literature ..."

Alexander II covered his forehead. After all, he was his own daughter. He knew very well that Maria was very interested in a certain kind of weird novels.

"You can rest assured that "Your Empire" is also a banned book in Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Fugui advised.

Alexander II was obviously relieved: "That's good, dear Zhu, if it's convenient, you can tell Maria to send some recent photos as soon as possible, her mother and I miss her very much, and hope to have her recent The photos are my thoughts."

"no problem."

Zhu Fugui nodded, already silently contacting [Xuanzi Private Photography] in his heart, asking for support from PS.

Generally speaking, the conversation between Zhu Fugui and Alexander II was very warm, and both sides were very friendly.

But the young Wilhelm II was not so easy to talk to.

He was already suffocated, but seeing Zhu Fugui talk to Alexander II first according to his age, instead of talking to himself, the German, no, the Holy Roman Emperor, according to his national strength, his mood was even worse.

This time when he came to Suiye City, apart from discussing how to end the war and carve up the world, William II also hoped to get Zhu Fugui's support to upgrade the German Empire to the Holy Roman Empire and crown himself Emperor Shenluo.

In fact, in William's view, the German Empire was originally the Shenluo Empire, otherwise how could it be called the Second German Empire?

The second is to show the inheritance of Shinra.

However, his grandfather was crowned as the German emperor at the Palace of Versailles back then. After all, there was no pope to crown him, which was not in line with tradition.

But now, the German Empire has not only recovered Alsace-Lorraine, Austria, but also Rome in its own hands.

He's not that wacky piece of shit like Victor Emmanuel.

William II was determined to use a cannon to "invite" Pope Pius IX out of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, and then use a bayonet to ask him to crown himself.

As for whether the Pope agrees?

How many teachers does the Pope have?

However, although the Pope does not have a teacher, Zhu Fugui does. William II hopes that Zhu Fugui can send senior officials, preferably to attend his coronation ceremony in person, so as to increase the quality of his crown.

Only today, Wilhelm II feels slighted.

He leaned on a civilized stick, trying to make his disabled left leg look less obtrusive.

"Zhu, I think you, as the host, shouldn't make us wait so long. Four days, as the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, I wasted four days here!

You know, according to diplomatic etiquette, Alexander and I should not be here today, it should be you, the Ming Emperor, waiting for our arrival at the airport! "

To be honest, Wilhelm II's complaints were justified.

God knows how much courage it took him to get on Daming's plane.

It's not that he doesn't trust Daming Aircraft, he doesn't think that Zhu Fugui would send an unreliable plane to kill him, but that normal people feel fearful when flying for the first time.

As a result, William II arrived in Suiye City with trepidation, but found that the owner was not at home at all, so he was naturally angry.

If it wasn't for the vicious guy who shot Lincoln, if it wasn't for being deeply shocked by the power of the Kunpeng, if it wasn't for Bismarck and other veterans who repeatedly warned not to annoy Daming, but for an ordinary emperor, such as Franz Yes, Wilhelm II had already slapped him in the face with his boot and spat in his face.

Monarch traits: [chattering clown], [moody impulsive person], [naive diplomat].

William's nephew, who has these two attributes, is not kidding you.

Back then, the Parisians created the simple folk song "William II Looking for Allies" for William II (the lyrics are righteous, William looked for allies everywhere, was disgusted everywhere, and finally only found a funny story about an alliance with a small country called Monaco), but it was not Out of nowhere.

Now William II has behaved very restrained, and can even be said to be well-behaved.

But Zhu Fugui would not be considerate of this eldest nephew.

"Feel sorry!"

Zhu Fugui spread his hands at the young man, and said helplessly, "My empire is too big, please bear with me... Uh, what it really means is that compared to your holy Rome, our Ming Dynasty spans seventeen time zones. ...well, so you get the idea..."

……

The "greening" work around Suiye City is very good, and you can even see a group of goats grazing on the rock wall.

If it wasn't for his unaided visual acuity far exceeding 2.0 after being irradiated by the divine light, Zhu Fugui probably would have been fooled.

However, Zhu Fugui did not expose these little tricks, but took a tour of this historic city with the old brother Zuo whom he had not seen for a long time.

Suiye ancient city has long been left with ruins.

Today's city was built by General Yili of the puppet Qing Dynasty, but it is completely Chinese style, which is quite different from the Muslim style buildings that are common in Central Asia.

The General’s Office where General Yili presided over military affairs has also been preserved, and the four characters [Pingfan Shuomo] on the screen wall are embarrassing.

The renovated streets are all cement roads.

It's just that Zhu Fugui noticed that the drainage on both sides of the road is not normal, and many places are just decorations.

Obviously, this is the product of temporary rush.

Although Suiye City has little rain, the humid sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean still brings hundreds of millimeters of precipitation every year. If it falls in a hurry, it is not impossible that the city will be flooded.

Zhu Fugui knew that these famous buildings, including the repainted houses on both sides of the street, should be built by Brother Zuo.

No one is perfect. Among the four famous ministers of "Xiantong Zhongxing", Brother Zuo deserved to be the first, but he is also a bureaucrat after all. It is possible to be a great official of the Qing Dynasty.

He didn't do these tricks for foreign devils to see, but hoped to leave a good impression on Da Mingzi.

After all, this was Zhu Fugui's first visit to Western Chu for inspection.

but……

Zhu Fugui shook his head.

Shouldn't the normal routine be shown as poor, so that Daming can increase his assistance?

Brother Zuo is arrogant after all.

Having taken so much Ming aid, I don't want the emperor to see a Western Chu with poor people's livelihood.

In fact, he has done a good job.

A Central Asia that has not yet produced oil, with the two huge debuffs of [Cultural Group Incompatibility] and [Religion Group Incompatibility], Zhu Fugui is very satisfied with being able to control the situation so stably.

In addition, Zhu Fugui also noticed that Brother Zuo talked and laughed happily with others, his local accent remained unchanged, his voice was like a bell, and his complexion was very good.

His eldest son, Zuo Xiaowei, was on the side, and said that his father raised stone locks every morning, practiced kung fu, and had a bucket of rice.

In short, the body is very strong.

Zhu Fugui was also very happy to see such a scene of fatherly kindness and son filial piety.

I just don't know if Zuo Xiaowei will become the "Prince" for 60 years...

Of course, this is basically impossible.

When Zuo Xiaowei was 60 years old, Brother Zuo was almost 100 years old. He has been in the battlefield for a long time, and many people have unmentionable diseases. I am afraid it will be difficult for him to live so long.

Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang don't know if there is any destiny in the dark, they are old and born.

Lao Zuo had his son Zuo Xiaowei at the age of 36, and Xiao Li had Li Jingshu at the age of 41.
