Chapter 519 The Yangtze River Bridge

Emperor Su He got up early and ate a simple Huaiyang dish.

He took the accompanying officials to Songjiang Governor's Yamen.

Emperor Su He met with officials above the seventh rank of Songjiang County and listened to work reports from local officials of Songjiang County.

He praised the performance of Songjiang Governor Yamen officials and recognized the achievements of other Songjiang officials.

Emperor Su He also gave generous rewards to officials who performed outstandingly.

The officials were received by Emperor Su He and they were extremely excited.

In particular, Governor Li Tianyang and Chief Executive Sun Guiwen were praised by Emperor Su He.

Both of them were second-rank officials and were appreciated by the emperor.

It is very likely that they, like Qu Xiangyang and others, would directly reach the sky and enter the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister.

At the end of the day, he can become a minister of the Six Books, perform on a larger stage, and get close to the emperor.

After the officials here at the construction site saluted, they immediately started the foundation laying ceremony of the Yangtze River Bridge.

If Your Majesty has no other plans, we will take the train to Nanjing.

Inform Li Zhiheng that the policy of gentleness should not be the main approach in governing the Eastern Japanese.

Now that the technology is relatively mature, especially the emergence of high-strength steel, the construction of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is feasible.

Stay away from Jiangsu as soon as possible to prevent His Majesty from encountering typhoons and causing potential safety hazards."

Emperor Su He looked at these four requests and immediately approved them.

"My husband didn't plan to stay in Songjiang Mansion for three days. Why did he return to the palace so quickly today?"

…………………………

The bridge was built too low. It seems that the technical difficulty is low and it does not have much impact.

Let him stir up hatred between the Japanese and He tribes as soon as possible.

This bridge is not difficult to build and is very safe, but it requires the use of special steel, which is very expensive and ordinary governments cannot afford to build the Yangtze River Bridge."

When they set out, they sent a telegram to Jiangsu Governor Lin Wenjing to let Jiangsu Province prepare.

I went to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Yangtze River Bridge."

The worker in charge of forging picked up a sledgehammer and began to forge rivets.

Wei Shiming looked at the greatly changed city of Nanjing.

He immediately explained: "Your Majesty, these cement piers were built in the early days.

He asked in a gentle tone: "I don't know the situation of the Yangtze River Bridge yet. Can any of you introduce it to me?"

On the surface of the Yangtze River, ten huge cement piers are exposed.

The whole ceremony was not complicated. Emperor Su He picked up a shovel and dug a shovel of soil.

As benchmarks, they can also inspire more officials.

Prime Minister Wei Shiming took several telegrams and walked to Emperor Su He.

Hearing Emperor Su He's inquiry, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge mainly connects Nanjing and Yangzhou.

He could roughly infer Emperor Su He's thoughts from Emperor Su He's demeanor.

The most difficult riveting process was solved directly by these workers.

Songjiang Chief Envoy Sun Guiwen was waiting aside and saw Zhao Wenfeng's embarrassed expression.

Emperor Su He watched the officials leave after receiving their rewards.

Emperor Su He patiently received every official and distributed rewards to them.

Time passed slowly, and they heard a shrill whistle, and then they realized that the train was about to arrive at the station.

Capital will blossom and bear fruit here, driving productivity and technological progress.

The train can follow the rails and drive directly into the tender.

After these soldiers from the city went to the battlefield, they showed great concern for their lives on the battlefield and were not as hard-working and bloody as the soldiers from the countryside.

The Yangtze River is blocked by low bridges, making it impossible for large freighters to pass through the Yangtze River.

It is better for Your Majesty to go there after having a meal in Nanjing City."

Nanjing Mansion is extremely important in her life.

The Ministry of Industry built an identical experimental bridge on land again.

The worker was seen holding iron pliers in both hands. He clamped toward the front of his body and immediately clamped the red-colored rivet with a hot surface.

At that time, the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway passed by the Yangtze River.

Emperor Su He reads the telegram brought by Prime Minister Wei Shiming.

The performance of Songjiang Mansion exceeded Emperor Su He's expectations.

Emperor Su He and his people immediately rushed to the construction site of the Yangtze River Bridge.

There was one matter that Li Zhisheng could not decide on, so he sent a report to Emperor Su He for his opinion.

Honeysuckle, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, responded extremely quickly.

Everyone even had lunch on the train.

By pouring a large amount of concrete into the iron barrel, you can build a cement pier in the river."

After Emperor Su He stepped off the train, the train driver drove the train into the tender and was directly transported to the north bank of the Yangtze River by the tender.

"I have an impression of this matter. At that time, Jiangsu Governor Lin Wenjing reported that he wanted to build a Yangtze River Bridge.

If there is really a heavy rain tomorrow, Your Majesty will have to miss the foundation laying ceremony of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

Domestic craftsmen can build cement piers in the water, which is a great progress.

More than 300 meters west of the dock, this is a relatively narrow section of the Yangtze River.

The train crosses Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and there is no need to use a shuttle boat to cross the river.

Emperor Su He handed the telegram to Prime Minister Wei Shiming and ordered: "Other policies related to the Governor's Mansion will be implemented in accordance with my approval.

Technical standards are not restricted by current technology, but look to the next few decades.

Now trains and cars must use this method to cross the river.

One side of the rivet is directly smashed flat, firmly fastening the steel bridge together.

However, the Yangtze River along Songjiang Prefecture is very wide, and existing technology cannot build ultra-long bridges.

After attending the foundation laying ceremony of the Yangtze River Bridge, we immediately headed north to Kaifeng.

As the internal fighting among the Japanese intensifies, we can completely control the Eastern Japanese Governor's Mansion at the lowest cost."

He accompanied Emperor Su He and his party back to the temporary palace.

The foundation laying ceremony of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge officially ended.

This new type of steel bridge will definitely be very expensive to build.

Meet these officials and give them encouragement and rewards.

The red-hot rivet was picked up by the worker from the stove and immediately thrown to the worker standing near the hole.

Emperor Su He understood immediately upon hearing this. He had commanded the army in combat for a long time and had a good understanding of the situation at the grassroots level of the army.

Verify the strength of the bridge. It can carry trains and cars normally and withstand typhoons.

Here is a huge dock.

Emperor Su He summoned Prime Minister Wei Shiming and Minister of Industry Jinyinhua in the box.

The Nanjing government had previously planned to build a bridge across the Yangtze River, but this plan was rejected by His Majesty.

As a trade town, Songjiang Prefecture also has outstanding industrial development.

This would limit the Yangtze River's ability to transport goods.

The workers became busy. They continued to use steam cranes to lift very heavy bridge components, and prepared to use riveting technology to rivet the two components together firmly.

In winter, when the water level of the Yangtze River is low, they use iron buckets to isolate the outside river water, and then drain the water in the iron buckets.

This is her second hometown outside Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province.

But with the development of ship manufacturing technology, cargo ships on the Yangtze River will become larger and larger.

Songjiang Prefecture also proposed building a bridge across the Yangtze River.

Emperor Su He immediately remembered this matter through Honeysuckle's reminder.

Emperor Su He smiled and said: "In this case, I already have a pretty good understanding of the situation here in Songjiang Mansion.

It also applies to the national and ethnic levels.

It is a giant ship with rails inside. The bow of the ship can be laid flat and can be directly connected to the rails at the dock.

There are also a large number of workers on the shore, preparing to build the Yangtze River Bridge.

Zhao Wenfeng opened his notebook and reported: "Your Majesty, Jiangsu Governor Lin Wenjing just sent a telegram that there is a typhoon passing through the Zhejiang sea area, and there may be heavy rain in Jiangsu tomorrow.

Emperor Su He told Concubine Jing Liu Rushi that she could meet her relatives and friends on the special train.

The train soon reached the bank of the Yangtze River.

When Emperor Su He heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "With the current domestic technology, can the safety of the Yangtze River Bridge be guaranteed?

The Yangtze River Bridge cannot carry the designed weight, and if a train falls into the river, it will be a serious accident."

He immediately stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, the people here in Songjiang are relatively wealthy, and some of the people who join the army are generally the bastards of small traders.

These people will definitely become the mainstay of the country.

After this matter is dealt with, I will go north immediately and will not stop in Nanjing.

Lin Wenjing had been an official with Emperor Su He for many years, and he was a close official.

Zhao Wenfeng and Sun Guiwen were embarrassed because they understood this situation.

Our Ministry of Industry decided to build the Yangtze River Bridge after a long period of observation and verification of nuclear technology."

When I saw the data that they were planning to build a bridge, I immediately rejected the plan.

Emperor Su He heard what Jinyinhua, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said, and he knew that all the yamen were well prepared for the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge.

After I have met with the martyrs' families, I will not waste any more time and go to Nanjing immediately to complete the foundation laying ceremony of the Yangtze River Bridge as soon as possible.

Emperor Su He ordered: "I am very pressed for time now, so I have to attend the foundation laying ceremony of the Yangtze River Bridge now.

What they built is not a bridge, they are steel cables locking the Yangtze River."

"Since Governor Lin Wenjing urges us, we will leave Songjiang and go to Nanjing Prefecture.

Honeysuckle, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said confidently: "Your Majesty, all the craftsmanship of the Yangtze River Bridge are techniques accumulated from the construction of other bridges.

Now that the Yangtze River has abundant water flow, these cement piers can still be exposed to the water for a long time.

I am preparing to go to Nanjing to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the first Yangtze River Bridge."

Emperor Su He and Prime Minister Wei Shiming began to chat about the governance of overseas governor's offices.

Through arguments, scholars calculated the largest freighter that could safely pass through the narrowest point of the Yangtze River, especially the height of its chimney.

The minimum height of the Yangtze River Bridge must be greater than this height to allow future cargo ships to pass safely."

His Majesty's meeting with the martyrs' relatives was too small in number, and the reputation would not be good if it was reported."

The train is expected to arrive in Nanjing in the afternoon.

Jiangsu wants to build a steel bridge that can be used by both cars and trains.

Honeysuckle, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, heard what Emperor Su He had said, and he immediately replied: "It was because of your Majesty's opinion that we introduced the standards for the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge.

This bridge is extremely important to the South.

Lin Wenjing and other Jiangsu officials were well prepared. They took Emperor Suhe's special train and followed the railway to the location of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

His Majesty made a special request to attend its foundation laying ceremony.

When Emperor Su He and his party went to Songjiang Mansion, they also used this method to cross the river.

Emperor Su He also knew that it was not a good idea to meet the martyrs' relatives in Songjiang County.

After he saw Emperor Su He, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

He requested that tariffs between the East Japanese Governor's Palace and the mainland be cancelled; people could move freely; children of school age should be allowed to go to school; and cowpox vaccination should be provided free of charge to the East Japanese people to prevent the epidemic of smallpox.

There are many telegrams here, which are reports from the palace and cabinet on daily affairs.

There is no need for you to engage in extravagant and wasteful ceremonies to welcome my arrival."

It is necessary to show the difference between Han people and naturalized people, and the difference between naturalized people and indigenous people.

Emperor Su He and his entourage left Songjiang Prefecture by train and headed for Nanjing Prefecture.

Emperor Su He looked at the workers' actions and found that they cooperated in perfect harmony.

It was agreed that tariffs between the two places would be abolished so that people who had already become Chinese could move freely and children of school age would be allowed to attend school. However, the Ministry of Rites would not allocate funds for running schools and agreed to promote paid cowpox vaccination.

We are going to the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge now.

Emperor Su He led the people off the train. Jiangsu Governor Lin Wenjing was already waiting outside the train.

…………………………

Songjiang Prefecture has developed so well, which is inseparable from the efforts of local officials.

Su He looked at the huge cement pier on the water surface of the Yangtze River.

Liu Rushi was a little surprised when she saw Emperor Su He return.

General Affairs made Zhao Wenfeng very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

He asked General Zhao Wenfeng: "Cancel the unimportant itinerary, where should we go next?"

Compared with other places, the number of martyrs is relatively rare.

He served as governor of Jiangsu for many years. After leaving Nanjing, great changes took place here, and many areas were unrecognizable to him.

Emperor Su He picked up the telescope and watched the craftsmen building the Yangtze River Bridge in the distance.

"Your Majesty, preparations have been made for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

Li Zhiheng, the governor of Eastern Japan, submitted a memorial in order to assimilate into the governor's office of Eastern Japan as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, this is the telegram sent from the capital before we boarded the train."

Not to mention Songjiang Prefecture, there are only a few senior generals from the entire Jiangnan region in the entire army.

The steam crane has lifted the steel component, and its holes have been aligned with those on the cement piers.

They finished talking about the situation of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

Liu Rushi had a look of surprise on her face when she heard that they were going to Nanjing.

I temporarily changed my itinerary in Shandong, and now I have plenty of time, so I don’t need to change my itinerary this time.”

These people do not want to work hard, and the number of officers is also very few.

If we continue to wait, we will delay the opportunity for the Yellow River to change its course.

Songjiang Prefecture officials are all meritorious officials, and only by giving them corresponding rewards can they ensure their enthusiasm.

Emperor Su He looked at the cement pier and he was very happy.

Jiangsu Governor Lin Wenjing noticed a change in Emperor Su He's gaze.

This is the first extra-large steel bridge across the Yangtze River in China.

Governor Lin Wenjing suggested that the foundation laying ceremony of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge be held today and asked His Majesty if he had time.

Completely connect Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

He inserted the rivets into the holes of the bridge as quickly as possible.

Songjiang Chief Minister Sun Guiwen wanted to retain Emperor Su He, but he could not think of a reason to retain him.

After all, this was a problem caused by a natural disaster. Emperor Su He stayed in Songjiang for a day and a half.

Emperor Su He was very happy when he saw the performance of Songjiang officials.

They acted more smoothly and sacrificed fewer soldiers.

Once it can be successfully built, it will be worth the money.

When Emperor Su He heard the news, he ordered: "I remember that I will meet with the martyrs' relatives on the next trip.

The rivets must be fixed in a short time.

Once the rivets have cooled down, the fastening of the bridge components cannot be completed.

Emperor Su He put down the telescope and said expectantly: "I am waiting for the day when the Yangtze River Bridge is completed and opened to traffic."

He encouraged Lin Wenjing, the governor of Jiangsu, and took a boat to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Emperor Su He continued to take the special train to Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province to witness the diversion of the Yellow River, a major event that will surely go down in history.
