Above the forest, a reciprocating cableway connects the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain. The cableway or crane on the cableway transports people and supplies back and forth. On the cableway up the mountain, several passengers looked at the hillside and woods under their feet through the window, marveling.

One person sighed: "This thing is so magical, it makes people look down at the earth in the air like a bird. This scene is really unforgettable."

Another answered: "This is nothing. If you are in a mine and take a cableway between two mountains, it will be exciting. You know, the wind is strong in the mountains, and when the wind blows, the cable car will sway, as if it will fall down at any time."

"Also, sometimes when the cable car is not lucky, the cable car is suspended on the cable car, from an hour to a long time to a half day, and it can't move. Think about it, isn't it exciting?"

This scene is just imagination, and others asked curiously: "Why do you need to pull the air cableway between the two mountains?"

"Efficiency, personnel exchanges, ore transportation, and two points and one line are the most convenient and time-saving. If the conditions are right, you can cut the bend and straighten it to improve transportation efficiency."

"Look, this mountain road is steep and rugged. If there is no cable car, people will carry mule carriers and transport supplies from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, how many people and animals will have to be used? How much food and grass should be consumed for this?"

Everyone looked at the curved mountaineering path between the forests below their feet, looked at the towering top of the mountain, and then looked at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but nod.

The army was stationed in the Wangchuan area, which was a distance from the shore of the Sashui River in the rear. Especially in this area, the roads were rugged and difficult to travel. If it was traditional human and animal power transported the supplies, it would be very expensive.

However, it is different with aerial cableways. Mountain streams, gullies, steep slopes, and dense forests, and cableways built in the air can be easily crossed. Through the cableway system driven by the steam engine, cable cars and cranes can transport personnel and materials between two points (hundreds of steps).

The premise is that the cableway can be pulled up, and the premise for setting up the cableway system is that there are a large number of iron frames to support the cableway. These iron frames must be built on various terrain that the cableway spans, and the construction is quite difficult.

The entire aerial cable car system is expensive. Not only does it require a large amount of iron to be used to set up the lines, but the relevant operating parts are made of fine iron, and the iron cables used for cable carriages are not ordinary, so the price will naturally not be low.

However, this money is worth spending, because in mountainous areas, especially in some dangerous sections of roads, cableways are used to transport personnel and materials, and the transportation efficiency is significantly increased. The transportation cost saved by long-term operation is almost offset.

In addition, the imperial court did not lack iron and had enough transportation capacity to transport materials here, so in order to support the marching in the Wangchuan area, the construction team spent more than two months to build several aerial cableways.

The steam engine that drives the operation of the cableway can burn firewood, and there is no shortage of firewood in the mountains, so the operating cost is still within the affordable range, but the transportation capacity is very strong.

As the government troops stationed in the Wangchuan area can obtain sufficient food and supplies, they will wait until the time is ripe to launch a new round of attack on the Goguryeo army in the eastern mountainous areas.

But before that, you can still fight for it.

Jin Mingcheng, who was sitting by the cable car window, looked at the forest under his feet, looked at the mountains ahead, and fell into deep thought.

......

Among the mountains, many fortresses surrounded a mountain city. Smoke was curling in the city, and people were making fires to cook, but what was burning in the furnace was not firewood, but coal.

The coal they use is all obtained from mining nearby coal mines. It is almost smoke-free (relatively speaking) and is excellent fuel.

In a yard in the city, there was also a coal stove in the room, and an iron pot was installed on the stove, and the water in the pot was about to boil.

In the room, two men were talking. As a visitor, Kim Mingcheng sat in the lower head, and the person sitting in the upper head was the commander of the Goguryeo army in this area, and the eastern man Yoon Gaisuwen.

Yuan Gaisuwen was very young, holding a leaflet in his hand at this time. Jin Mingcheng, who was in his early forties, introduced a new amusement park in Chang'an to the "old customer" Yuan Gaisuwen.

"This amusement park has been open for half a year, and tourists are full every day. Ticket income plus snack sales revenue directly earns the construction cost. Several of the amusement projects are amazing and very popular, so that tourists line up..."

As he listened to the introduction, he looked at the leaflet in his hand, looked at the "roller coaster" drawn on it, and was a little lost. He looked at Jin Mingcheng: "How much does this roller coaster cost?"

"About 200,000 guan, after all, safety is the first priority, and the materials are naturally not careless. There are also various safety facilities, which are very complete... to avoid accidents when passengers take a roller coaster..." Jin Mingcheng said this, and when he saw the water boiling, he got up and went to carry the kettle.

Then make tea for Yongassovian.

There was a guard standing behind Yeon Gaisuwen with his hands hanging down, watching Kim Ming-cheng urging in front of Yeon Gaisuwen, but there was no intention of stopping him.

Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Jin Mingcheng making tea for himself, and silently waited for the tea to be finished, and asked, "Tell me, the commander of Zhou army... King Wei, yes, King Wei, what is his offer?"

Jin Mingcheng was happy when he heard this, but his face was as quiet as water. He did not ask Yuan Gai Suwen to retreat and said calmly: "The King of Wei actually doesn't care about this matter..."

When Yuan Gaisuwen heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter? Then what are you doing here?"

"Sir, the villain also wants to make some contributions and think about his wife and children..." Jin Mingcheng smiled and looked at the other party, "When he saw that his homeland was about to perish, the villain also had to think about the future."

There is something in his words, but it is actually persuading Yoon Gaisuwen: Goguryeo will inevitably perish, why not plan for the future?

Yuan Gaisuwen was silent and just drank tea. Jin Mingcheng was not anxious, but just poured tea for the other party appropriately.

Jin Mingcheng was a native of Goguryeo and a businessman. Later, he engaged in maritime trade and hooked up with the Beiyang trading company of Zhou. He was shocked by the power of Zhou. He turned into a good citizen of the Great Zhou.

In order to inquire about the situation in the Zhou State, Yuan Taizuo, a "traitor" like Jin Mingcheng, was allowed to run errands on both sides to serve as a witness. Of course, he also knew that this person was also inquiring about the situation in the country of Goguryeo for Zhou State.

It is always useful for roosters and thieves, so Jin Mingcheng has become a person with great power due to the special needs of all parties. He can talk to some of the officials in Zhou State and can also be unblocked in Goguryeo.

When Yuan Taizuo died, Kim Min-cheng worked for the "Young Master" Yuan Gaisuwen. However, after the two countries fought, Kim Min-cheng, a "traitor and scum" was not favored by Goguryeo.

When he contacted Yuan Gaisuwen again, he actually tried to persuade him to surrender as an envoy of the Zhou army. As for whether this behavior would anger the young and energetic Yuan Gaisuwen, it depends on whether the Buddha blessed him.

"I have sufficient food and supplies here. You... If the Zhou army wants to attack in, they will have to pay a huge price." Yuan Gaisuwen suddenly spoke, and Jin Mingcheng took a stern statement.

"The Battle of Forget Chuan was our careless, but if the Zhou army came to attack here, it would not be so easy."

"What the Lord said is..." Jin Mingcheng poured tea for Yuan Gaisuwen and whispered: "But the King of Wei doesn't care."

When he heard the other party say ""The King of Wei doesn't matter." Yuan Gaisuwen was a little annoyed. The feeling of being despised was very bad, but he could only bear it.

Jin Mingcheng returned to his seat and said slowly: "The position of the crown prince is stable. The King of Wei will be in charge of the war this time. No matter how great his military achievements are, it will not change anything."

"No one can threaten the position of the crown prince, even the King of Yan is not good, so the King of Wei is open to it, and the other princes are open to it, and they don't want to fight."

"But it's always good to end the war as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible..." Jin Mingcheng finished speaking and chuckled slightly, "It depends on whether the adults can do it."

Yuan Gai Suwen didn't say anything, Jin Mingcheng continued to say something: "By the way, the King of Yan is in Huangzhou, and he often accompanied the prince to the amusement park to take the roller coaster. It was very pleasant. The King of Wei also wanted to return to Beijing earlier and take the prince to experience the roller coaster of the capital."

"In the future, adults can also take the men and women to take the roller coaster in Chang'an..."

With a "bang", Yuan Gaisuwen shook the desk in front of him: "Rareless!!"

"Why should I do this by sir?" Jin Mingcheng looked at the other party's eyes without dodging at all: "The little man has seen it clearly for a long time, so should the sir be able to see it clearly, right?"

"It's only a matter of time before the change of ownership of mountains and rivers. The adults are fighting desperately here. Even if they defeat the Zhou army, what can they get?"

"The five masters, the confidence in speaking comes from the military. The master is fighting with the Zhou army here and fighting all the military. Could it be that the king will reward the master Mo Lizhi for his post?"

As Jin Mingcheng said, every sentence that stung the scars in Yoon Gaisuwen's heart, especially the three words "Mo Lizhi", which made Yoon Gaisuwen's eyes turn red.

If it were the young and energetic Yuan Gaisuwen in the past, there would be no way for a pariah to insult him, but now he has to endure it even if he can't bear it.

Seeing flames burning in the other party's body, Jin Mingcheng continued to fan the flames:

"Sir! Don't say the position of 'Mo Lizhi', even the position of 'Da Tonglu' cannot be inherited. And have you forgotten how the position of the Eastern Adult inherited?

Forgot? How can you forget it!

Yuan Gai Suwen will never forget that when his father died, he served as the position of Mo Lizhi (equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Central Plains military and political unity). Therefore, according to traditional rules, this official position should be inherited by him.

But if you can't do it, then you can't settle for the second best. To make it bigger (equivalent to the official position of the Central Plains priest), it is still not possible, because the "Chinese people" are the nobles of the five tribes, most of them disagree.

Then, the position of "Eastern Master" who started the Yuan family was a legitimate father who died and his son succeeded him, but he almost couldn't get it.

Since the war more than ten years ago, the reputation of the Yuan clan has been greatly affected, and the royal family has taken the opportunity to attack and constantly found ways to collect power. Some great nobles wanted to take over (Yuan clan) and replace it, so they secretly destroyed the state.

When Yuan Taizuo died, he could no longer control the situation and could not allow the nobles to support his son Yuan Gaisuwen to succeed to each position as usual. So that Yuan Gaisuwen successively missed the position of Mo Lizhi, and after he missed the position of Lu's official position, it became difficult for him to inherit the position of the Eastern Adult.

Based on various motives, the nobles publicly obstructed him of "father's death and son's succession". The reason was that he was too young and had doubts about his ability, so he was not qualified. Yuan Gaisuwen was extremely angry, but could only whisper and beg the nobles in public, begging everyone to give him a chance.

Let him "temporarily" be an adult from the Eastern Conference first. If he is not competent, he can change people at any time.
