The steam locomotive stopped after more than 100 steps, and the power was insufficient, and it could not continue to move forward.
"Your Majesty, this is the farthest distance that the locomotive can travel at present."
Pu Yuan was embarrassed, and he didn't perform well in this test.
Seeing Pu Yuan speaking cautiously, Wu Shun hurriedly comforted: "It's very good, it's only been a long time."
This progress was beyond my expectations."
Pu Yuan is a workaholic, Wu Shun can't give him too much burden, he originally provided a simple drawing, and he can do this, relying on these craftsmen in the military department.
"Your Majesty, we have found a way to improve, the parts are being made, and we can't demonstrate them immediately, so please forgive the emperor."
Pu Yuan said again.
He knew that Wu Shun was very interested in this "car", and the construction of the gallop road from Kyoto to all parts of the country would start next year, which gave Pu Yuan a lot of urgency.
Although Wu Shun also said that the construction of Chi Road is to facilitate the connection between various places and Kyoto, these projects are related to the Ministry of Industry, and Pu Yuan naturally knows the planning of Xinchi Road.
Among them, there are preparations for the car in advance, such as the hardening of the gallop, so that the locomotive can run on the road in the future, and the gallop is the best road.
Pu Yuan made up his mind in his heart that he must make Wu Shun's car before the completion of the gallop.
Of course, it may take a long time to build the road leading to all counties across the country.
"Improve it well, if you build the car, I will be rewarded" The craftsmen of Shu are a combination of wisdom and hard work, and Wu Shun will not be stingy with his rewards.
"Emperor Xie" Pu Yuan took his apprentices and bowed his head to thank him.
Leaving the Ministry of Engineering, along the way, Zhuge Liang and several people have been asking Wu Shun about the purpose of the locomotive, and Wu Shun can only tell the role of the vehicles in later generations and give them a reference.
"Your Majesty, the train you just mentioned is too expensive, and with the money and grain in the treasury, I'm afraid you can't build one."
Xu Shu said with emotion.
"With the national strength of our Shu Kingdom, it can be built completely, don't worry.
Now Pu Yuan and they have not overcome the problem, everything is still my fantasy. ” Wu Shun said.
"The emperor's idea will soon become a reality, and today when I see what Lord Pu Yuan has created, the minister is convinced."
Xu Shu said.
Listening to Wu Shun talk about the role of the train, while feeling the convenience of the train, Xu Shu was also shocked by its huge expenditure.
After all, cars have to be built, and the roads on which trains run must also be specially built.
Wu Shun's whimsical ideas gave several of them a huge shock, and they were now afraid that they would not live to that day.
A train that can run faster than a war horse, a troop carrier that can carry dozens of people, and a pull cart that specializes in consigning artillery, today, Wu Shun revealed too many things to them.
Although they are people with high IQs in their modern times, they are also shocked by the blueprint outlined by Wu Shun.
If there really is such a day, how powerful the Central Plains should be Presumably at that time, Shu was already standing at the top of the world In order to bring back the thinking exuded by a few people, Wu Shun had to say loudly: "I won't say much about the idea of the car, there are people from the Ministry of Industry to do it, and there will always be a day when it will be done."
What plagues me now is the war in the Western Regions. ” "The emperor still wants to use troops in winter," Zhuge Liang asked.
"It's not that I want to, but the news from the dark guard has come back that he and Wusun have reached a secret agreement with Persia to prepare to attack the White Tiger Legion, and the Kushan Empire has not been at peace recently."
Wu Shun said.
The situation in the west is becoming more and more confusing, if it is only Wusun and Persia, Wu Shun will not be so anxious to conquer in person.
Now that Anxi is on the opposite side of the Central Plains, and has also lobbied Guishuang, in this case, the situation of the White Tiger Legion is very bad.
"If the rest of the people are really capricious, they should be severely punished," Zhuge Liang said.
No one will like a two-faced person, let alone a country.
"Outside the Western Regions, the four kingdoms of Anxi, Persia, Kushan, and Wusun are likely to form an alliance and clear out our Central Plains forces.
Our troops are in the Western Regions, and these countries feel threatened.
Wu Shun said.
That's what he was worried about, the Kushan Empire was originally just created by the leader of a tribe named Qiu Qiqi of the Great Moon Clan in the Western Regions, and it slowly developed into a powerful slave country.
According to the news sent back by the Dark Guard, the Kushan Empire, under the leadership of its king Gasserga II, has a population of more than one million and an army of more than 200,000.
If such a country also wants to be at war with the Central Plains, it will not be fun.
Zhang Xiong's pressure in the west can be imagined If the four countries want to be the enemy of the Central Plains alone, Wu Shun can not care, but if they are united, then they can't be ignored.
No matter how elite the White Tiger Legion is, it can't withstand the repeated attacks of the four countries "Your Majesty, our original intention to open up trade routes in the Central Plains was good, but some countries deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of trade routes because of fear.
For this kind of behavior of sabotaging trade routes, our Central Plains army should be dealt a blow.
Guo Jia said.

Now that the Western Regions are in a state of war, the trade routes in the Western Regions are cut off, and the merchants dare not go there, so they can only walk from the sea, so the task of the Jiaolong fleet has become heavy This has a great impact on the Central Plains, after all, the losses of the merchants of Shu every day are astronomical.
"The Western Regions should increase troops, but the emperor doesn't have to recruit in person."
Fa Zheng said.
Wu Shun personally conquered, which meant that the Western Regions could only fight, and even it was very likely that the Central Plains army would have one enemy and four enemies This is a very risky move, Wu Shun's personal expedition represents the will of the country, not a joke "If you don't do it, it's not enough to deter Xiaoxiao," Wu Shun said.
The crown prince Wu Hao can already handle state affairs, and the crown princess Aisha is also pregnant, Wu Shun has no worries, and the personal campaign can also inspire the soldiers and increase the chance of victory, so why not do it "These Xiaoxiao won't use soldiers in winter, Your Majesty."
Fa Zheng and Dao.
He disagreed with others in that he opposed Wu Shun's personal expedition, because Wu Shun was the pillar of the entire Central Plains and could not have any problems at all.
To a certain extent, as long as Wu Shun stays in Kyoto, the entire Shu Kingdom will be peaceful Others support Wu Shun's pro-expedition, but it is not recommended to go out in winter.
Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong all have this attitude, and there is only one Guo Jia, who is in favor of Wu Shun's winter expedition.
"I want to go to the expedition in person, this matter is decided, when I arrive in the Western Regions, you are releasing the news of the expedition."
Wu Shun said.
When he made up his mind, there was no room for refutation.
Moreover, Wu Shun decided to call in a legion to be responsible for the escort of grain and grass.
This legion is the Blue Wolf Legion of the Jade in the Stone.
"Since the emperor has made up his mind, the ministers should prepare in advance, I don't know which military advisor the emperor is going to use," Zhuge Liang asked.
Wu Shun's personal expedition, which is different from ordinary generals, needs to bring at least one military advisor to accompany him.
Listening to Zhuge Liang's inquiry, Wu Shun didn't think about it, and directly said three names, which caught Zhuge Liang off guard
