At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of brilliance.

In the body, the blood that had gradually cooled down due to old age seemed to be boiling again.

Just like when he just took over Yingtian City and claimed to be the King of Wu, but faced the squeeze from Jiangdong and Jiangxi, he was obviously in a crisis, but he never gave up and had high morale.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned a deaf ear to the shouts of his courtiers that filled his ears, and stared at the eldest grandson in front of him: "How to drive this thing?"

Zhu Yunxi pointed to the lever that Zhang Ergong wanted to pull at first: "Grandpa, just pull this lever out."

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands, grabbed the lever and pulled hard.

At the end of the pull rod, a muffled sound came from inside the steam engine.

Although, there was a squeaking sound from underneath the car, and the whole car shook. Zhu Yuanzhang's body was also unsteady, and he subconsciously opened his hands and squatted down to maintain balance.

But Zhu Yunxi, who was at the front, changed his expression slightly. He quickly grabbed the direction crossbar in front of him with both hands and forcefully adjusted the front of the car to the direction outside Zhengyang Gate.

"Fuck! Forgot to put it in neutral!"

Zhu Yunxi cursed lowly and looked at another short vertical pole placed under the horizontal bar in the second groove of the four parallel concave and convex grooves. He was holding the horizontal bar tightly with both hands and did not dare to relax. He adjusted the direction without any help.

You can only rely on your strength.

Still inside Zhengyang Gate, Zhu Yunxi did not dare to relax and concentrated on correcting the direction of the steam car.

And in the horrified eyes of the surrounding officials.

But when he saw the carriage that was originally carrying more than 5,000 kilograms of weight, he suddenly trembled.

After the emperor pulled the lever.

The entire carriage rushed out uncontrollably, while Taisun gritted his teeth and turned his face in the direction of the carriage.

Then, the whole car rushed out of Zhengyang Gate like a big rat.

Only a cloud of white mist and a cloud of dust were left in place.

"Escort!"

"Hurry up and escort me!"

I don’t know who it was, but suddenly shouted from behind Zhengyang Gate.

Although, several old men rushed to the commander of the imperial army who followed Jia out of the palace.

Although the old man usually has no power to tie a chicken, but at this time, he grabbed the armor of the commander of the imperial army, and he seemed to have the power to lift up Mount Tai. He was about to be shaken for a moment, and the poor man did not dare to do anything excessive for fear of breaking up the old man.

The commander of the Imperial Guard was stunned.

[By the way, it is currently the best for reading and listening to books,@

The entire Zhengyang Gate was in chaos because of such a surprise attack by His Majesty the Emperor.

……

Wind.

It’s the shape of the wind.

On the pipe outside Zhengyang Gate, Zhu Yuanzhang put one hand on his hips and the other holding the stones on the cart, looking ahead with his head held high.

He could see clearly that the eldest grandson had put the vertical pole in front of him into the groove on the far right, and then his robe was fluttering in the wind. Even though it was midsummer, it made him feel cool.

There is a bumpy feeling under the feet from time to time, but it is continuous but not as violent as a carriage. It is very soothing and makes people mentally prepared.

It’s a very subtle feeling.

Although the carriage under your feet is not as fast as riding on horseback, it can go faster than an ordinary carriage.

The most important thing is...

Zhu Yuanzhang silently looked back at the steam engine that was roaring continuously and carrying a column of smoke.

It can be done automatically without any human or animal effort.

And five thousand kilograms of stones are under the palm of my hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became more and more profound, and finally he looked back at Zhu Yunxi, who was still driving the car in front.

All of this was brought about by my eldest grandson.

"Grandpa."

"Grandpa?"

"Grandpa!"

Zhu Yunxi looked back at the old man, calling him repeatedly and frowning.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly blurred: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhu Yunxi moved the car: "Grandpa, we need to add coal to the stove."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened when he heard this, the gangster actually sent him here.

With a cold snort, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward and kicked Zhu Yunxi: "Move away, let's drive, and you go add coal yourself."

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes helplessly and said worriedly: "Grandpa, can you drive this thing?"

Pat.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and slapped him, blew his beard and glared: "What can't be opened that we don't know and you can't teach us?"

There is nothing you can do.

Who calls him the emperor of Ming Dynasty?

Still the kind of founding emperor.

Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to give up his position and signaled the old man to grab both ends of the crossbar.

"This crossbar controls the direction. Whichever way you push it, you will go in that direction, but you have to pay attention to the amplitude. If there is time in the future, Sun'er would like to take Zhang Ergong and the others to improve this crossbar to be lighter.

”

"My grandson calls this crossbar the gear position. The one on the left is neutral. The car can stop when you enter here. The one on the right is the fastest."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was holding the crossbar in his hand, like a child with a toy, looking around in confusion, nodding from time to time.

Then, under Zhu Yunxi's gaze, he allowed himself to be manipulated for a period of time, and then Zhu Yunxi felt relieved...

"Grandpa, you have to be slower. Our lives are in your hands."

Zhu Yunxi cupped his hands and did not forget to give him a warning before going to shovel coal.

At the end of the day, he pushed the gear lever to the lowest gear, and then rushed to the back to shovel coal.

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips and said, "You bastard, you are chattering a lot."

After finishing talking, he looked at the vertical pole that Zhu Yunxi pushed to the lowest position, and couldn't help but let out another cold snort of dissatisfaction.

Click twice.

The gear was pushed to the highest gear by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yunxi, who had already opened the combustion chamber of the steam engine and was shoveling coal into it, held the shovel in his hand and swayed. Then he looked back at the vertical pole that the old man had pushed to the highest gear. He was helpless and helpless, so he could only smile bitterly.

After adding enough coal in the combustion chamber, Zhu Yunxi opened a hole in the water chamber, picked up a bucket of water prepared in the car and poured it in.

In an instant, the car slowed down.

"Boy, what's going on?"

As soon as the car slowed down, Zhu Yunxi listened

The old man who came to the front shouted.

Quickly closing the opening of the water chamber, Zhu Yunxi wiped his hands randomly and hurried back to the old man.

Zhu Yunxi looked worried: "Grandpa, you left Beijing alone without any troops. I'm afraid the ministers in the court will come to remonstrate later."

After adding coal and water, the steam engine slowly burst out with strong power.

The speed has become faster again.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways and said indifferently: "My grandson is brave enough to conquer the city. When will we be alone?"

At this time, a group of green forest tyrants came to block the road and rob, let's see if you would say so.

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head: "It's unreasonable. If I turn around to the Procuratorate and Yandao, I'm afraid I'll be impeached."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and pulled the horizontal bar hard with both hands.

Before Zhu Yunxi could react, the car carrying thousands of kilograms of heavy goods went around a curve on the official road smoothly.

Zhu Yunxi glanced around and realized that the old man had taken him to the east foot of Shenlie Mountain.

Before he could persuade the old man to rest for a while, a team with flags on the official road in the distance made way to the roadside.

"That's..."

"Those are His Majesty and Grandson!"

"Why do these two appear here?"

A noble family who had just returned to Beijing stood on the roadside in amazement.

It is unusual for an emperor and his grandson to leave the capital alone.

"What kind of car is your Majesty driving?"

"You can run without cows and horses?"

A steam locomotive without oxen and horses is naturally a rarity in today's Ming Dynasty.

Before the nobleman could get confused and try to figure out the cause of the matter, Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken the initiative to put the gear in the lowest gear, and the speed of the steam locomotive slowly decreased.

"I am here to see Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."
