"Prince! The strength of this train is calculated based on horsepower, which means it is about the strength of a horse."

"We are a re-expanding locomotive made in the UK. It is relatively advanced. It can reach 5,000 horsepower, which means that 5,000 horses are pulling goods on the rails!"

Oh, the crowd exclaimed, "Are you five thousand horses? Just this iron guy can hold up five thousand horses? Good, so much strength."

Prince Zheng’s nose was crooked and his eyes were looking at Fu Qingxin with vicious eyes and said, “You guy, wait, wait!”

Just as the monarch and ministers were chaoticly pointing at the train, a figure suddenly ran out of the carriage behind. It was Zhou Daoying next to Empress Dowager Dong. "Your Majesty! The Empress Dowager said that the weather outside is very cold, so let the adults go to the carriage to keep warm!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Only then did people notice that there were six cars on the front of the car and behind the coal truck, and the two Empress Dowagers were already resting in the middle car.

A group of people got on the bus in order of grades. After a while, the motorcycle pulled the whistle and began to slowly move forward. When the motorcycle suddenly swayed, many officials exclaimed in a low voice.

In the first month of the year, the people outside the capital were stunned when they saw such a huge iron guy driving out of the station bit by bit.

The children bit their torn cotton jackets, their noses crossed the river, their eyes widened at the monster, and many young people were scared to tears with a sound.

The old man who picked up firewood ran over and ran home with his grandson in his arms. There were also many old ladies with little feet knelt on the ground and didn't know what they were saying.

These nobles in the palace were not in the mood to see the actions of these ignorant grass-roots people, and they were all attracted by the increasingly accelerating trains.

It is only a few hundred meters north from Guangqumen Station. The railway tracks start to drive towards Tongzhou East. After the train arrives at Tongzhou Station, they will continue to go north to the Qinghe construction site. Today's journey is more than 40 kilometers. If the train runs at full speed, it will arrive in an hour.

But after all, this was the train during the commissioning period, and the car was full of politicians from the Qing Dynasty. This group of people could not have any danger, so the speed of the car was maintained between twenty and thirty miles, and in only ten minutes it increased the speed to sixty miles.

However, the sixty miles were just for the passengers to feel it, and the speed was reduced soon!

The speed was not slow anymore. The officials in the car looked at the village outside the window, and the trees and soldiers standing guard were swinging back, and they all grew their mouths in surprise.

"Although it's a little louder, it's still more stable than riding a horse! Let us civil servants enjoy it."

"This iron guy is really useful. As long as you give enough coal and water, you can do it. Unlike a war horse, you still have to rest. There is no problem with this motorcycle running tens of thousands of miles at one go!"

"It's a pity that the sound is too loud. The people in the villages along the way may be worried and disturbed the Feng Shui of the ancestral grave!"

"What kind of Feng Shui is not Feng Shui! Every country in Europe has built a railway. According to what you said, Feng Shui is not good? People have defeated us several times because of bad Feng Shui. Do you think this is a Feng Shui problem?"

Zaichun listened to the officials below and said nothing. He was thinking about the soon-to-be-signed treaty that Tsarist Russia was about to sign, since the Qing Dynasty gave Ulan Geli a powerful ultimatum.

The arrogance of the Tsarist Russian minister was immediately suppressed. Even when envoys from various countries paid homage to the emperor in the New Year, Ulangeli secretly promised Emperor Tongzhi that Moscow had already made concessions.

Concession? Haha, it’s still meaningful? Go nonsense. What I want is that you accept the conditions in full. I have to vomit out any land in the Qing Dynasty after eating me!

Zaichun tested the motorcycle today and did not invite these ministers, but he knew that the ministers from European countries would definitely come to see. Can the Qing Dynasty have lost these spies in such a big change?

I was not wrong at all. Just as the train was driving through an iron bridge on the Tonghui River, a group of foreigners riding war horses were waiting quietly here on the mound above the heights.

Envoys from all countries in Dongjiaominxiang sent people to witness this historic moment. When the motorcycles roared over, the people present were in a very complicated mood.

"There is nothing strange about trains, but I am very surprised that the huge human resources of this country, Emperor Tongzhi, could mobilize 100,000 people to build a railway for him!"

"It's only a year and a half! The entire Beijing-Tianjin railway has been built for 80% of the remaining railways. The rest is to connect sections of railways, and it is expected to be fully opened to traffic in another half a year."

"If you continue to build at this speed, it will take less than 20 or 30 years to connect the railway network of the Qing Dynasty to the north and west!"

"Miracle! It's really a miracle! China is not a feudal country at all, but a monarchical dictatorship. Otherwise, how could it be possible to gather so much manpower in a flash?"

"It's unimaginable in our country!"

"What I value more is the market where these people gather! How much goods do so many people consume? Everyone uses one meter of our textiles, and our European textile mills have to work for a century!"

The ministers were talking nonsense, only Ulangeli remained silent and silent! Thinking of the big railway that his motherland was struggling to build in Siberia, a sense of sadness surged in his heart!

"God really favors China! If we, Tsarist Russia, could have such a warm environment and so many people, how powerful would we be!"

The train roared over, and the ministers turned their horses to return to the capital. Everyone knew that there was nothing strange about the miracle created by Emperor Tongzhi.

It has no technological content at all, it is just the efficiency of manpower being piled up!

But you can't accept it. There are many Chinese people who have this advantage, and they can use the most primitive methods to improve efficiency. Perhaps this is the foundation of a great country!

There are benefits to many people, but there are also disadvantages to many people. These ministers, including Emperor Tongzhi who were proud of the train and the important officials, did not expect that a farce would be waiting for them at the terminal!

The train took more than an hour to drive from Guangqumen to Tongzhou Station, which is very close to the pier. During the train stop, Zaichun also took the Queen Mother and his ministers to visit the wedding gift given by the head of state, which was the gunboat!

The mosquito ship in the eyes of the Chinese people was a huge figure in the eyes of these people. It took more than an hour to surround the warship, and the train began to sail towards the Qinghe Construction Site of the terminal.
