Chapter 1150 This prosperous age is just as I wish!!! (The finale)

All preparations before the founding of the country were ready, and time soon came to October of the fifth year of Da Ming. The county governors who had returned to the counties before all ran back this time, but they were temporarily in the stage of resignation. They would not take up new positions until the founding ceremony was completed, but these people have already begun to familiarize themselves with their future work content.

In late October, it was already winter, because winter was the slack season for farming, so there were not many things that needed to be managed by officials, so these people were summoned to the capital and began to prepare for various sacrificial activities required for the founding ceremony, all of which needed to be rehearsed in advance.

In addition, the new official uniforms that Luo Chong asked Xiao Die to bring people to make had to be sent to them in advance to try if they fit, and if they didn't fit, they would be changed quickly.

At the same time, Ying Rui also released news from Kaiyuan County in the grassland, inviting Su Ritu to the capital of the Han tribe, Chang'an City, to participate in the founding ceremony of the Han tribe.

Su Ritu didn't know what the founding ceremony was or what kind of activity it was, but he heard that the Han tribe had become increasingly powerful in recent years. Every time he went to Kaiyuan County to purchase supplies, he could hear about some changes in the Han tribe.

For example, when he was in Kaiyuan County, he saw that all the people in the Han tribe had made ID cards with black and white photos on them, which was amazing.

He also found a photo studio in Kaiyuan County, which took photos for people.

Su Ritu thought it was very rare, so he brought many tribesmen to take photos.

In addition, the photo studio also had a work exhibition wall with many photos hung on it. It was also in the photo studio that Su Ritu first met Luo Chong, the leader of the Han tribe, and saw it in the photos

. In addition to Luo Chong's photos, there

were also strange buildings, large ships, railways, trains, tractors, excavators in many places in the Han tribe, and some folk photos of the Han tribe, such as wedding photos. From these rare photos, Su Ritu knew that the Han tribe had developed many advanced means of transportation, which was what he cared about most.

The Han tribe had trains and tractors that could run without the traction of cattle and horses. What kind of impact would this have on the grassland? Will the Han tribe no longer buy cattle and horses from herders in the future?

It was because there were many new and strange things in the Han tribe, and they were so serious that they threatened the strategic position of the grassland, so he decided to go to the Han tribe to take a good look and see what the Han tribe looked like now.

As a result, Su Ritu and a group of nomadic tribe leaders were stunned when they arrived at the capital.

Is this the capital of the Han tribe? ! !

It is even larger than the largest city they have seen, Kaiyuan County, and it is many times larger.

Especially when someone took them to the main gate of the Daming Palace, the Vermillion Bird Gate, the group of people were all stunned.

Damn, this gate tower must be dozens of meters high.

Then, someone took them to visit various places in Chang'an City, including the magnificent palace complex, the huge and complex government office area, the exquisite and luxurious mansions of officials, and the tractors and trains that can run by themselves without the need for cattle and horses to pull.

They took a train from Chang'an City to Takuhai County, and then took a boat from Takuhai County to the sea, where they saw the vastness of the sea, ate delicious seafood, and tasted the newly produced beer of the Han tribe.

When the small leaders of these nomadic tribes returned to Takuhai County again, they happened to catch up with the completion ceremony of the Haidu Line heavy-duty railway.

On that day, the newly launched wide-gauge train slowly drove out of the Southern Locomotive Manufacturing Plant and finally stopped at the platform of the Takuhai County Railway Station.

Luo Chong personally led people to preside over the completion ceremony that day, led everyone to cut hair, set off firecrackers, tied a big red flower on the front of the new train, and then went to the front of the train to fill the first shovel of coal into the boiler, and then led everyone to stand in front of the train for a group photo, and the ceremony was considered complete.

After the ceremony, Luo Chong first took everyone around the train, observed the appearance of the train, and then led them to board the train.

After entering the carriage and assigning seats, the train started, passed the acceleration phase, and began to move steadily towards the capital. Luo Chong took them to visit the interior of the train, from the front to the back, and looked at every carriage. Finally, everyone stopped at the dining car and enjoyed a rich train lunch.

Such an awesome means of transportation stunned the nomadic leaders from the grassland. It took so long to walk from the front to the back? !

A car is so long, and each carriage has 250 seats. These four carriages can comfortably carry a thousand people?

And the most important thing is that this car can run without cattle and horses.

Everyone learned a lot on the train. After returning to Chang'an City, Luo Chong personally received them and invited them to the military camp west of the palace to learn more, see the soldiers of the Han tribe, and then see the weapons and equipment currently used by the Han tribe army.

Luo Chong even pulled a guard battalion and took these nomadic tribal leaders to hunt in the forest northwest of the capital to let them see the power of machine guns. If they dared not to listen to the Han tribe, the prey in the forest that was shot into sieves would be their fate.

When Luo Chong brought these nomadic tribal leaders back, it was already the end of the thirteenth month of the fifth year of Da Ming, and there were only a few days left before the first day of the fourteenth month.

Now everything has been prepared for this moment of founding the country.

On the day of the New Year's Day, the team began to gather at dawn.

Luo Chong wore a Tongtian crown and a simple and plain fur crown. Behind him were civil and military officials, and there were guards clearing the way in front, behind, and on both sides. He took them to the suburbs to worship the sky with full ceremonial guards.

On the high altar outside the city, they first slaughtered livestock and offered sacrifices, and then recited prayers to the heavens. All the achievements and contributions that Luo Chong had made to the country since he became the leader had finally come to fruition. He was given the mandate of heaven, and he would live forever and prosper. He officially established a country and became the emperor, and the country was named "Han".

After reciting the prayers, the yellow paper on which the prayers were written was burned directly, which was equivalent to burning it to the heavens. Luo Chong also became the first emperor of the Han Empire.

After the sacrifice, Luo Chong shared the sacrifices with everyone, and then took the civil and military officials back.

But this was not the end, but just the beginning.

The next process was that Luo Chong, as the emperor, would sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, and the Temple of Grain and Soil, and finally lead the civil and military officials to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to sacrifice to the ancestors of the Luo family.

After these sacrifices were completed, Luo Chong led them back to the Suzaku Tower of the Imperial Palace, which was the city gate tower of the world's first gate.

Everyone watched the flag-raising ceremony of the Han tribe on the Suzaku Tower first, and then the military parade began.

At this time, neatly arranged teams of infantry and cavalry also ran out of the barracks of the West Camp of the Imperial Palace. They lined up on Chang'an Street in front of the Suzaku Gate, and then Luo Chong began the military parade.

Others were watching the ceremony on the Suzaku Tower. Luo Chong personally rode a pure black horse and inspected the troops one by one.

After the inspection, they returned to the tower again, and the military parade commanded by Shuda officially began.

Teams of neatly dressed, in good spirits, and murderous, soldiers carrying rifles marched past the Suzaku Tower. When all the soldiers passed the city gate, they all changed from carrying rifles to marching with rifles. Rows of soldiers held up half a meter long bayonets, looking murderous.

However, Su Ritu knew that this gun was just the worst bolt-action rifle of the Han tribe. He had played with it before, but the Han tribe now had semi-automatic rifles and fully automatic machine guns.

After the infantry column with bolt-action rifles passed, the column with semi-automatic rifles followed. The column behind was a little outrageous. There was actually a column with all members holding machine guns. This was too scary.

After the three infantry columns passed, there were three cavalry columns, namely the shotgun cavalry column, the semi-automatic cavalry column, and the cavalry column with all members holding machine guns. It was getting more and more outrageous. After the military

parade, Luo Chong took them back to the Hanyuan Hall in the imperial palace. He, the emperor, brought the civil and military officials and the grassland leaders to hold the first grand court meeting of the Han Empire.

At the court meeting, Luo Chong promulgated a new reign. The first reign after the founding of the Han Empire was Yongchang, so starting from next month, it would be the first year of Yongchang.

This reign title was taken from the words on the imperial seal, "Received the mandate from heaven, long life and prosperity".

It just happened to correspond to Luo Chong's ascension to the throne, and also hoped that this newly born empire would prosper forever.

Then he established the empress, formally canonized Xiaodie as the empress, Zhan Ying and Tang Yao as imperial concubines, canonized Luo Cheng as the crown prince, and Luo Chong's only daughter Luo Lan as a princess.

The remaining princes are now just princes, because they are too young to be crowned kings for the time being.

After conferring titles on the royal family, he began to confer titles on the ministers and officially granted them official positions.

This grand court meeting lasted until the afternoon. Well, there was no need to go back. Instead, someone sent a car to bring the families of these officials into the palace. Luo Chong held a banquet in the palace, entertained the ministers, and had a New Year's Eve dinner with the civil and military officials.

At the New Year's Eve dinner, Luo Chong suddenly joked to Su Ritu, saying, "I have conferred so many titles today, what do you think?"

Now Ying Rui has come to Chang'an to serve as the Minister of Justice. Do you want to join the Han tribe? I will allow you to be the governor of Kaiyuan County.

Su Ritu was immediately sweating when he heard this. The leader of the Han tribe had just proclaimed himself emperor, and he was already thinking about the half of the grassland in his hands? !

However, after seeing the powerful military strength of the Han tribe, Su Ritu was also frightened. He would definitely not be able to defeat them. If he ran, where could he run to?

He could only think about it again, and then give Luo Chong an answer after he figured it out.

Luo Chong also nodded and ignored him. What is this? This is called not knowing what is good for you!

So when Su Ritu just turned around and had not taken two steps, Luo Chong suddenly yelled at the banquet.

"Where is the Minister of War, Shuda?"

Shu Da was so drunk that he suddenly heard Luo Chong calling him. He ran out immediately and came to Luo Chong's desk and bowed down, shouting, "Your Majesty, I am here!"

Luo Chong didn't even turn his back on him. He knew Su Ritu was right next to him, but he still said it in front of Su Ritu.

"Ask the Ministry of War to draft a plan to conquer the northwest grassland. I will give you four regiments of cavalry. Within half a year, I will make the entire grassland part of the territory of the Han Empire."

"Yes, I will obey your order!" Shu Da agreed immediately.

Fighting, fighting is good. He had been the commander of the navy for several years. He was almost idle. Now when he heard the leader asking him to fight, he sobered up half of his alcohol.

Su Ritu, who was not even two steps away, turned green. Don't bully me like this. Even if you want to hit me, at least wait until I leave before discussing it. Are you really bullying me in front of me?

Su Ritu immediately wanted to argue with Luo Chong, but Luo Chong ignored him. He was asked to be the governor of Kaiyuan County just now, but he didn't want to do it. Now he wants to regret it?

It's too late!!!

Luo Chong waved his hand, and several guards came forward and pulled Su Ritu down immediately. However, they didn't kill him directly, but just put him under house arrest temporarily. If this guy has a little brain, he will definitely figure it out. Who knows, he may be of some use in the future.

Thus, the first foreign military war after the founding of the Han Empire was decided by Luo Chong's casual words, and no one objected. All the civil and military officials were talking and laughing, as if conquering the entire grassland was just a matter of a word from the Han tribe.

In the early spring, the four cavalry regiments of the Han Empire assembled in Kaiyuan County. First, they released the news that the Han Empire was about to occupy and rule the entire grassland. Those who took the initiative to join could obtain the citizenship of the Han Empire. Those who refused to surrender, if they were not killed by machine guns, would be considered lucky and would be slaves of the Han tribe for life. As soon as

these words came out, many small nomadic tribes immediately bowed their heads and cried and shouted to join the Han tribe. Su Ritu's former subordinates and his son wanted to resist, but they faced Luo Chong's four cavalry regiments head-on and were defeated on the spot. Seeing this, the small leaders under Su Ritu's faction turned their backs and surrendered, and all joined the Han tribe.

In the next two months, there was basically no war. It was all decided by proclamation. As long as the people of the Han Empire raised a big flag and shouted, "We have occupied this place," the people nearby would immediately come and surrender.

They had no choice but to surrender. They couldn't afford to provoke

this foreign war. It was like a joke. It started quickly and ended so simply. The Han Empire took over the entire grassland without any effort, without losing a single soldier.

In the same year, the first year of Yongchang, the Han Empire added three counties in the northern area of ​​the west bank of Honghu Lake in the grassland, absorbed grassland herdsmen as people, and quickly established three new counties.

All the grassland population was wiped out by the Han Empire, and the national population surged to 970,000.

The following year, the second year of Yongchang, the Han Empire set up a new county at the northern end of the Qiongzhou Strait Bridge, that is, on the mainland side, in the original bridge construction camp, named Haiqiao County, and recruited local savages from the nearby plateau mountains by recruiting laborers, and successfully recruited more than 10,000 people.

The tentacles of the Han Empire extended to the southwestern edge of the grassland.

This year, with the addition of the newborn population of the Han Empire itself, the total population of the country finally exceeded one million.

In the third year of Yongchang, the court administrative structure of the Han Empire was completely established, and all national affairs were on the right track.

This year, the capital of the Han Empire, Chang'an, had a newspaper. The science section of the Chang'an Daily recorded the news that Director Ao Fei of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used a three-color filter to shoot color negatives. Unfortunately, there was no color developer, and the Han Empire still failed to develop color photography technology.

This year, His Majesty Luo Chong, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, issued a new administrative plan, unifying the eight counties of Tangcheng into Chaozhou, and the eight counties of Hanyang into Yuzhou. The capital Chang'an and its surrounding areas were Nanzhili, directly under the jurisdiction of the capital.

In the same year, Gu Cheng, director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, finally made a watch and pocket watch the size of a silver dollar after five years of hard work. The Han Empire began to form the habit of rich people wearing watches. In the same year ,

the construction of the Qiongzhou Line of the broad-gauge railway began. This is a broad-gauge railway that runs from east to west, through the entire Qiongzhou Island, and finally passes through the cross-sea bridge, then leads to Haiqiao County on the opposite side of the bridge, then turns east, passes through the mountain canyon on the south bank of Honghu Lake, arrives at the west side of the capital, and finally connects with the broad-gauge railway in Chang'an City.

This is a U-shaped cross-sea artery with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers, and it is planned to be completed in about ten years.

In the fourth year of Yongchang, the 10,000-man reclamation corps composed of teenagers captured from the cannibals had already reached adulthood of 4,000 people. These 4,000 teenagers were immediately incorporated into the road construction team to contribute to the railway construction of the Han tribe.

In the same year, Luo Chong had three more children. Two little princesses and a little prince were added to the big family. At this time, His Majesty Luo Chong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, already had eight children.

In the fifth year of Yongchang, after five years of vigorous development after the founding of the country, the three industrial zones that Luo Chong had originally established in the south have now basically taken shape. The light industry and food industry in the capital Chang'an are extremely developed, the manufacturing base in Tuohai County has also been completed, and the heavy industry in Qi'an County has become more and more complete.

On the eve of the New Year's Day in the fifth year of Yongchang, there was another grand court meeting. His Majesty Luo Chong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, changed the year name again and changed the country's name to "Daye", which means to create a huge foundation.

Luo Chong was 29 years old this year

. In the first year of Daye, the Institute of Power Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences finally built the first high-speed rail in the Han Empire. This car uses steam power and has a modern bullet-shaped low-resistance head. After actual testing, the car can run at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour on a straight road! ! ! !

The original one-day and one-night journey on the Haidu Line was shortened to two and a half hours. The seafood caught in the sea at midnight could already appear in the fish market in the capital in the morning.

Therefore, this steam high-speed train was nicknamed the seafood train by the people, and its official name was the "Dongfeng Express"! ! ! ! In

the second year of Daye, the roads in Chang'an City began to be updated. The natural asphalt mined from Heyuan County was continuously transported to Tuohai County by ship, and then transferred to Chang'an City by Dongfeng Express. After half a year of hard work, all the main streets in Chang'an City were replaced with asphalt roads.

In the same year, the Han Empire's "Forever" bicycles began to become popular among the people. Pedal tricycles and bicycles became the mainstream means of transportation for people to travel, and horses in Chang'an City became less and less common.

In the third year of Daye, a young researcher who was newly admitted to the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered the electromagnetic effect when doing a magnet experiment. Since then, the Han tribe has entered the era of electricity.

In the same year, the world's first hand-cranked generator was launched. It can generate weak current and electrolyze water into oxygen and hydrogen.

In the same year, under the guidance of Luo Chong, the Chinese Academy of Sciences produced the world's first light bulb. The filament used in it is carbonized bamboo filament. It can light up for 1,200 hours after being powered on. If the light is only turned on for three hours a day, then this bamboo filament bulb can be used for one year.

The following year, in the fourth year of Daye, the Chinese Academy of Sciences manufactured the first winding group generator. After the steam engine drove the generator to rotate, it successfully obtained a stable source of electricity.

In the same year, the construction of the first thermal power plant of the Han Empire began in the capital Chang'an. It is expected that after completion, it can provide lighting electricity for the entire Chang'an City.

This year, another 3,000 slave children came of age, and 3,000 young slaves were assigned to the railway engineering team.

In the fifth year of Daye, the world's first thermal power plant was completed in Chang'an, the capital of the Han Empire, and electric poles and street lights began to appear on both sides of the streets of Chang'an City.

In the same year, the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences invented the electric motor, and the Han Empire once again mastered a new power source. As a result, electric power plants that used electric motors instead of steam engines began to appear.

In the same year, Gu Cheng, a mechanical genius of the Han Empire and the father of the Han Empire clock, invented the world's first hand-cranked sewing machine. Just half a month later, it was upgraded to a foot-operated sewing machine.

Half a year later, it became an electric sewing machine.

In the autumn of that year, the south was dry and rainless, and the land in the capital Chang'an was dry. Fortunately, the Han Empire had perfect water conservancy facilities and well houses all over the fields. Water pumps could be used to extract groundwater for irrigation of farmland, and the autumn grain output of that year did not decrease.

However, a grassland fire broke out in the western grassland. The fire stretched for thousands of miles, burning the entire western part of the grassland to ashes and killing countless wild animals.

After investigation, it was found that the source of the fire was actually a thunderbolt. It turned out that an oil and gas field was exposed in a basin in the west of the grassland. After being ignited by lightning, it spread to the entire western part of the grassland.

The fire caused the destruction of tens of thousands of square kilometers of grassland in the grassland, and the herders suffered heavy losses. The Ministry of Households urgently transferred crop straw from Nanzhili and Chaozhou to the six counties of Honghu to supplement livestock feed for the herders.

However, the Han Empire also discovered an oil and gas field.

At the end of that year, the 34-year-old Emperor Luo Chong of the Han Dynasty changed the reign title from Daye to Tianshou to commemorate the oil field that God gave to the Han Empire.

In the first year of Tianshou, the total number of researchers in various institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had exceeded 5,000, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences began to show its power.

The Institute of Physics was the first to discover that electricity can decompose minerals and thus extract metals, so they used electricity to decompose "mithril" and showed it to Luo Chong. The emperor changed the name of mithril and said that this thing was called "aluminum".

That year, the first electrolytic aluminum smelter in the Han Empire was built, and aluminum metal began to become the new darling of the materials industry because aluminum is really light.

In the same year, the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully distilled light gasoline, medium diesel, viscous heavy oil, and ultra-light kerosene from natural crude oil using dry distillation.

In the same year, the Han Empire established Daqing County in the western part of the grassland and began to officially exploit oil, build refineries, and refine various oils and chemical by-products.

Still in this year, the Institute of Power Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences easily completed the world's first internal combustion engine. This internal combustion engine, which they had been dreaming about for more than ten years but could not be used due to the lack of suitable fuel, was finally started! ! !

This internal combustion engine. Well, well, it is actually a two-stroke single-cylinder diesel engine, without even spark plugs and electric ignition. The starting principle relies on the inertial internal energy ignition method, which is the legendary crank, hand crank starting method.

Luo Cheng, who was already a teenager and had grown into a big man, personally took the crank and started cranking. Then he heard a noise of "thump, thump, thump" and a puff of black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe.

Han Empire, no, no, it was the world's first internal combustion engine, and it was cranked by His Royal Highness Luo Cheng, the Crown Prince of the Han Empire.

Finally, with the birth of the diesel engine, the Han Empire invented a miniaturized four-wheel tractor at the end of the first year of Tianshou.

With a small engine, the tractor finally did not need to be equipped with a boiler, and the size of the tractor could naturally be reduced.

In the second year of Tianshou, the Han Emperor Luo Chong suddenly wanted to fly to the sky. He ordered people to find light wood, make a biplane, install a gasoline engine and propeller, and start it with a crank. He successfully made the plane fly into the sky!

The test pilot flew the plane over Shanglinyuan for more than 40 minutes, and the next day it was on the front page of Chang'an Daily, and the whole of Nanzhili was in a sensation.

People can actually fly to the sky? !

In the same year, the U-shaped cross-sea railway artery, which had been built for ten years, was finally fully connected.

Now you can take the Dongfeng Express high-speed train from Chaoyang County on Qiongzhou Island to the capital and Tuohai County.

After the completion of this line, the road construction team was immediately sent to Chengkang County to complete the railway upgrade work there, replacing the original narrow-gauge railway with a wide-gauge high-speed railway.

In the third year of Tianshou, due to the emergence of electrolytic aluminum, the Han Empire already had the ability to manufacture aluminum alloys.

Therefore, the Han Emperor Luo Chong ordered people to make a monoplane with aluminum alloy. The nose of the plane was equipped with a 16-cylinder star-shaped kerosene engine newly developed by the Power Research Institute. The plane's level flight speed has reached more than 300 kilometers per hour, the maximum flight distance is 1,500 kilometers, and the maximum flight radius is 700 kilometers. If it is equipped with weapons, it will have actual combat capabilities.

The test pilot took off from the grass of Shanglinyuan, flew across the strait, arrived over Qiongzhou Island, and then turned back, completing the ultra-long-distance and ultra-long flight feat.

The news was once again published on the front page of Chang'an Daily. The people suddenly realized that it was not difficult for humans to fly in the sky like birds.

In the fourth year of Tianshou, with the continuous development of engine technology, more models of engines were manufactured. The four-stroke three-cylinder gasoline engine installed spark plugs on this engine for the first time, and the power supply came from a lead-acid battery.

Then the four-cylinder diesel engine was also manufactured. In this year, the Han Empire had the first four-wheel diesel jeep.

In the fifth year of Tianshou, more powerful six-cylinder engines and eight-cylinder V-type engines were also manufactured. The big-nosed Mercedes-Benz luxury car appeared on the streets of Chang'an City for the first time.

When the night fell in the beautiful Chang'an City and the street lights on both sides of the street lit up like long snakes, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black dragon robe and a gold watch on his wrist, sat in the luxury Mercedes-Benz car and slowly drove through the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

He looked at the bustling street scenes that kept passing by in front of him, and the face with white temples reflected on the glass window. In a trance, it seemed that the reflection in front of him overlapped with his memory.

Thirty years have changed the world.

The boy who once dared to brave the primitive jungle alone with a rattan box on his back has now become a middle-aged uncle with gray hair on his temples.

The once barren primitive wasteland has now been built into the world's largest prosperous city.

The Tree Tribe, the Black Rat Tribe, the Fire Tribe, the Snake Tribe, the Chestnut Tribe, the Xin Tribe, the Tang Tribe, the Jiang Family, the Qiao Family, and

many other familiar faces kept flashing before his eyes. The middle-aged man's blurred eyes were filled with sparkling tears.

He smiled and muttered to himself.

"Old friends, did you foresee that the world would become like this?"

"But I thought about it!"

"This prosperous age is just as I wished!!!!"
