Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

“Woo!”

Half an hour passed in a hurry, and with a long whistle, the train had stopped on the platform. More than a thousand passengers lined up and got off the carriage with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

When many people got off, I subconsciously looked at the surrounding scenery and confirmed that this was indeed Xianyang Station.~

“This train is too fast, right?-！”

“It felt like I was running back and forth in the blink of an eye!”

“I just wanted to go check out the dining car and see if I could buy some breakfast!”

“It’s still early now. Once you’re out of the station, you still have time to have breakfast!”

“It’s so fast!”

“I hope this train can be repaired to Luoyang City quickly.”

“Then we can get up early and take the train to Luoyang City for lunch, haha!”

Every one of the passengers was filled with emotions. They all had unfinished expressions about the short but almost perfect journey just now.

The transportation before Da Qin was really too outdated.

Don’t look at Da Qin’s emphasis on road construction. But it is mainly freight. The reason is very simple. Taking a carriage for a long distance is too bumpy.

Even if the Grand Canal is built, the seasickness caused by the rocking of the boat will still dissuade many people.

And despite the high cost, there is still It is particularly time-consuming.

Therefore, although the government has been strengthening the construction of tourism, the effect is very poor. The footprints of people’s lives are still limited to within a few miles of surrounding areas.

Even after the emergence of bicycles, they can only cover these few miles. The range extends to dozens of miles.

Convenient travel over long distances and happy travels are still only dreams for most people.

But now, these railways and trains can truly travel thousands of miles in one day. Traveling comfortably has become a reality.

It is like a dream.

Many people who were still doubtful about trains have directly become the most loyal supporters of trains.

What they complain about is that the railway construction is too slow and laborious. After a few months, they have only built sixty miles.

If the whole line can be connected, they can comfortably go to Luoyang City to witness a different kind of prosperity.

Even Ying Zheng and the important officials of the imperial court were impressed.

From their point of view, they are naturally very clear about the limitations of Xianyang City as the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

Although the continuous Qinling Mountains make Guanzhong easy to defend and difficult to attack and lay the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, they also restrict the transportation conditions of Xianyang City.

Even the Grand Canal , all due to Sanmenxia, the section from Luoyang to Xianyang is particularly difficult to travel.

Many people have previously proposed moving the capital to Luoyang to better control the Central Plains and Jiangnan. It’s just that it’s too far from Luoyang to Shangjun. It was too difficult to effectively radiate the newly incorporated Yili County, Seleucid County and Persian County, so we finally gave up. However, now, the emergence of trains and railways has allowed Ying Zheng and others to really see the hope of the integration of Xianyang and Luoyang.

The railway The carrying capacity is not inferior to the canal, and even exceeds it in some aspects.

That is, the railway can directly dig tunnels between the Qinling Mountains and go as straight as possible. Although the early construction is very difficult, once it is opened, it will always benefit.

And because Because there is no need to follow the waterway, it can better radiate to the relatively backward inland areas. Simply put, it is closer to the doorsteps of most people, driving more significant economic effects.

The advantages of Xianyang City and Luoyang City have been fully achieved The disadvantages are completely made up for when

Xianyang and Luoyang are integrated. Through the Jiangnan Grand Canal, the entire Central Plains is covered by the radiation, and all the way to the Jiangnan estuary is smooth.

After consolidating the mainland of Daqin, if the railway can continue to be extended westward, Can completely integrate Seleucid and Persia into the Qin Dynasty and achieve long-term peace and stability

“This train is really a good thing! Ying

Zheng said with great emotion:”If the whole of Great Qin can be connected to the railway, the whole of Great Qin can be truly integrated.””

“By then, it will be possible to easily reach any corner of Daqin from Xianyang City in a few days, and inspections will no longer be laborious.”

The important ministers on the side all nodded in agreement. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The emperor’s patrol is of extremely important significance in strengthening the centralized control of power.

“These trains and railways have much lower geographical requirements than canals. They can be said to be the real hope for the development of inland areas.”

“If railways can be built throughout the Silk Road, the land in the Western Regions will be completely owned by our Great Qin.”

Meng Yi pondered for a long time and said.

Although he holds a civilian position, he comes from a family of military generals after all. Meng Yi also has a strong strategic vision. Naturally, he understands that the current control of Great Qin’s land in the far west has not yet reached a level where he can rest assured.[]

At present, everything is suppressed by the supreme prestige of Fusu and Yingzheng. If a slightly weaker successor appears in the future, it is very likely that the influence of Xianyang City will gradually be weakened.

Over time, it is easy for variables to occur.

The emergence of the railway will inevitably greatly strengthen Xianyang City’s control over Persia and other places, realize the immigration strategy faster, and completely control these newly included places.

“Not only in the inland areas, even in Jiangnan, railways are the hope for Jiangnan to develop again.”

“Although Jiangnan has been known as the land of thousands of lakes since ancient times, there is also an upper limit.”

“Today’s canals are already overwhelmed, especially in coastal areas. It is not uncommon to see a backlog of supplies at ports.”

“To improve this situation, currently, there is no better measure than building railways.”

“Therefore, the Xianyang-Luoyang Railway must not only be opened as soon as possible, but also be extended quickly.”

“It may even take more than one railway to be built!”

Dunwei said in a deep voice.

All the officials immediately looked at Nei Shiteng.

“They say railways are good, but have you ever thought about the cost of building them?”

“According to the plan of His Royal Highness, the first phase of this railway will cover the entire major states and counties of Daqin, with a planned length of more than 100,000 miles.”

“This requires more than 100,000 yuan, even if the treasury is sold, it will still be far from enough!”

Neishiteng spread his hands helplessly and said.

Meng Yi and others immediately looked at each other and laughed bitterly together.

This is really the trouble of happiness.

However, it is really uncomfortable to see such a bright prospect in front of you but unable to realize it. No.

Only Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head, and slowly said:

“Everyone, have you forgotten something?”

“Fusu always has a plan when doing things. How could Fusu not consider such an obvious problem?”

“Fusu, stop being so secretive and announce the answer as soon as possible!”

However, the next moment, Fusu’s answer made everyone confused.
