Seeing that Wei Guangdong looked unwilling, Lin Yu tidied up his clothes and looked like he was thinking about you.

He said slowly: "This iron-armored car weighs 120,000 kilograms, and it is difficult to control it. It took Guardian a lot of practice to barely be able to control it. Crossing the river is not easy. Even if Guardian drives it himself, he must be careful. If he accidentally falls into the river..."

In Lin Yu's plan, this time I sent Mekava to Nanjing, but I only temporarily kept it for Zhu Yousong. When the time is right in the future, I will take it back. After all, it is an S-class weapon worth tens of millions of gold coins. Even if there is a mine at home, I can't afford it!

According to literature records, the population of the Ming Dynasty reached its peak during the Wanli period, and is said to be close to 200 million.

So far, Lin Yu has never seen a formal official file, and he may have been burned by the postman Li Zicheng in Beijing. Until now, the Ming Dynasty is in danger, who has the leisure to count the population?

But even if this number is accurate, the population has dropped by at least about 40 million in the past decade after the peasant uprisings of the two dynasties, foreign invasions and natural disasters.

Thanks to the fact that hot weapons have not yet been popularized in this era, otherwise after so many years of war and the Little Ice Age, I am afraid that the number of people who died will have to double on the basis of 40 million.

According to the calculation of 150 million Han people, Manchu and Mongolia can be ignored, and the total population is estimated to be a few million.

During the Chongzhen period, Manchus had only a pitiful hundreds of thousands of people. With such a population ratio, the Ming Dynasty was taken away by Manchus. It would be strange if Zhu Yuanzhang could give his dream to these unworthy descendants!

In this era of news blocking, relying solely on word of mouth, even if Lin Yu destroyed the Qing Dynasty, even if Lin Yu became the emperor, he would be amnesty and exempt from taxes, and half of the people would be grateful to Lin Yu as an exaggerated.

After all, countless indigenous illiterate people live in the remote and poor areas of Guizhou, Yunnan, and Sichuan. These people don’t care who is the emperor, and even wish that the Ming Dynasty would perish as soon as possible.

The only thing that makes Lin Yu feel relieved is that as long as others develop emotions towards him, they will receive gold coins, whether it is gratitude, hatred, envy or jealousy. In short, as long as others know him, they may contribute their income to themselves.

This Mekava main battle tank is worth 10 million gold coins, and it is possible to get it by luck by lottery from many S-class weapons. In other words, giving Lin Yu 50 million gold coins may not necessarily lead to another draw of such a tank known as the "King of Land".

As for Lin Yu's current status, it is nowhere to be found if he wants to regain another vehicle. If it weren't for the situation, Lin Yu wouldn't have sent it to Nanjing, and naturally Wei Guangdong wouldn't have learned to control it.

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Wei Guangdong's face turned blue and red.

As a powerful general who has been on the battlefield for many years, Wei Guangdong once followed Sun Chuanting to defeat Li Zicheng and also fought against Tartars with Mangui. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that if an iron-armored car drove into the river, he would become a joke for the ages!

"Haha... I'm just talking casually!"

Wei Guangdong beat "haha" and found a step by himself, "This armored car weighs more than 100,000 kilograms, so it would be a matter of day and night to control him! I have notified Mr. Ruan and asked him to report the news of General Lin's armored car to the emperor. Let's try to transport it across the Yangtze River as soon as possible to calm your heart, right?"

The shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was quite advanced. During the Yongli period, Zheng He's treasure ship loaded an astonishing 20,000 tons. The large ship used by Wei Guangdong to transport armored vehicles also had a load of 4,000 tons. It is naturally not difficult to transport a 60-ton armored vehicle to the other side.

Wuma Ferry is a military ferry. After being dug, the river bank can be aligned with the deck. The huge mekava can be directly driven onto the warship and then transported to the opposite side and then driven to the shore.

Lin Yu was also afraid of the emergence of trouble, so he would hand it over to Zhu Yousong the safest. If anyone wants to move the tank, he must be approved by the emperor, which will reduce the chance of being deliberately damaged.

"Saint crossing the river!"

Lin Yu was about to get into the cockpit when he saw a white horse galloping from the north. A young man in a straight line raised his arms and shouted, "General Lin wait for me, Brother Lin wait for me, cross the river together!"

Lin Yu looked at him and found that it was Shi Kefa's aide Hou Fangyu, so he asked Wei Guangdong's subordinates to let the person come over.

Lin Yu thought Hou Fangyu had been ordered by Shi Kefa to pass the message, and inconveniently speaking in front of Wei Guangdong and others, he reached out to signal Hou Fangyu to follow him into the cockpit.

“Go on the boat!”

Wei Guangdong waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him retreated to the sides, dodging a road leading to the deck.

Lin Yu started the ignition, held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and slowly drove onto the deck of the ship.

Although the boards of this big ship were made of solid wood and iron plates, and were made of rivets, when they encountered such a large weight, they still made a "kick" sound. Many wooden boards had vaguely cracks, which made Wei Guangdong, Xu Gongji and others sweat, for fear that the armored vehicle would crush the ship.

"It's time to drive the boat!"

Li Wei yelled out of the cockpit with a shiny head like a pumpkin head, which was particularly conspicuous in the sun.

"Anchor!"

Seeing that the armored car had completely gotten on the ship, Wei Guangdong's heart finally landed. As long as it was transported to the other side, it would be too late even if Lin Yu and Shi Kefa wanted to go back on their word.

I am the commander of Yingtianwei and the first military general to guard the capital. Isn’t this armored vehicle still controlled by myself in the future? With such a magic weapon in hand, why worry about not being able to achieve a shocking achievement?

Lin Yu was also afraid that the tank would crush the deck. If the ship crashed into the river and the cockpit could not be opened, he would be suffocated to death at the bottom of the river. Is he not the most cowardly person of the time traveler?

It was not until Mekava stopped completely on the deck that Lin Yu felt relieved. Just as he was about to ask Hou Fangyu about his purpose, he found that he had picked up the porcelain bottle containing diesel and raised his head.

"Hey hey... Mr. Hou, Brother Hou, this is not boiling water, this is diesel, this cannot be drunk!"

Even though Lin Yu stopped him quickly enough, he rode his horse in the middle of the night and his throat was almost smoking. He still took two mouthfuls in a row when he found that the taste was not right. He stopped the urge to continue drinking.

"What is diesel... what is diesel?" Hou Fangyu was confused and licked his lips, which seemed to be full of aftertaste.

Lin Yu looked at him with a hint of a hint: "Hou... Master Hou, are you okay?"

Hou Fangyu shook his head, as if he was drunk: "It's okay... I just feel a little dizzy and a little nauseous, but I feel that the taste is pretty good, and it's even better than the wine from Thirteenth Brewery."

Lin Yu couldn't help but be speechless.

The ancients were so pitiful. How poor are they? They actually thought that diesel tasted good? If he took out a few bottles of Coke and Sprite from the warehouse, wouldn’t this Mr. Hou be considered a fine wine on earth?

Seeing that Hou Fangyu had no adverse reactions and did not ask what diesel was, Lin Yu signaled Li Wei to take a kettle for Hou Fangyu to rinse his mouth, and asked, "Brother Hou is coming in such a hurry, why is it that? Could it be that the supervisor has changed his mind and is not going to present the tank... an iron armored car to the court?"
