It's made, it's really made.

When Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and a bunch of scholar-bureaucrats were messing around and making Luoyang a smog, Bi Lan actually built a steam engine in a simple blacksmith workshop in Lubei County.

Liu Cang, who was originally thinking about his spiritual marrow income this year, suddenly no longer cared about his livestock.

Looking at the steam engine that looked like a deformed loom, Liu Cang yelled at Bi Lan for leaving a good saint alone and messing around with Zhang Rang.

A very simple steam engine, the overall size is like a loom, a small furnace, a water tank, a leaky sealed cabin, gears, belts, and a movable rod.

Ignite the push rod and start it. Along with the roaring steam and the loud noise, the mechanical arm with reinforced hammer can hit the iron ingot at a fixed frequency.

It is simple, but it already has all the elements of a steam engine. It only needs to prepare better materials, more detailed grinding and welding, slots, gears, and levers. The craftsmen played with it and kneaded the special viscose. Liu Cang

It seems as if we have seen the coming of the steam era of Han Dynasty.

Liu Cang proposed the direction, and left everything else to Bi Lan to fiddle with. He asked for people to give people, and asked for money to give money. As long as it was a steam engine design, Liu Cang didn't care what he came up with.

Well, I can't control it, Liu Cang doesn't understand...

I heard that later generations Huang Yueying was very good at machine skills? I don’t know what her father Huang Chengyan’s level was in this area?

Liu Cang thought that he still needed to bring Huang Chengyan back to help Bi Lan. To develop steam engines, their next topic might be hydropower, wind power or something like that?

Tsk tsk, it’s the electrical age, Liu Cang smiled, but a female voice screamed sharply in his ears.

"Liu Haoxuan! What do you want!?" He Lian, Queen Mother He Lian seemed to see the sarcasm from the smile on Liu Cang's lips, she screamed angrily, questioning Liu Cang who had finally been admitted to the palace by her.

After He Jin and He Miao were killed one after another and the Shi Changshi rebellion, under Liu Cang's indulgence, Dong Zhuo welcomed the young emperor and entered Luoyang with the elites of Liangzhou.

When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he was mostly resisted by the courtiers.

It is said that He Miao was originally the link between He Lian and He Jin. He Miao was not only a general of cavalry, but also a captain of Yue cavalry.

As a result, He Miao was killed by a group of subordinates from the general's palace. When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he did not bother with the courtiers. He directly gathered He Miao's Qu tribe and then sent some of them to the border army instead of dispatching them from the group of noble family members under He Jin's command.

The general's music department was collected.

The captain of Xiyuan School was suspected of being illegal, and it was true that Guang Luxun was derelict in his duties. The former general's soldiers unsheathed their swords.

Two thousand Xiliang elite soldiers entered the city. Overnight, Dong Zhuo not only gathered another 5,000 imperial troops in the inner city of Luoyang, but also took complete control of the military camps in the outer city. In addition to his own troops and horses stationed outside the city, Dong Zhuo regained the number of the former general's troops in the outer city.

Thousands of soldiers.

Dong Zhuo did not rely on showmanship to recruit Luoyang troops.

There were 7,000 forbidden troops in the inner city, 30,000 troops stationed in the outer city, and more than 10,000 elite cavalry outside the city. In just one day, they were all under Dong Zhuo's command.

At this time, it is not difficult to see how weak the current courtiers are in controlling the military affairs in Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo came with great righteousness. Yes, most of the veterans in the court had been dismissed from their military positions long ago, and it was not Dong Zhuo who did it...

He Jin and He Miao died again. Dong Zhuo was not acting recklessly. He really acted with righteousness. He was a former general.

Apart from the fact that the inner court tigers cannot be disturbed for the time being, Guang Luxun and Zhi Jinwu have been captured, and the former generals are guarding the capital, everything is fine and there is nothing wrong with it.

Dong Zhuo promised the soldiers huge profits, and the Xiliang army was cruel in their habits, which made the young men in Luoyang who had little experience of killing feel uncomfortable. For those young officials who could boast of killing a lot of people for half a year, the Xiliang army

, a real tiger and wolf!

Those so-called mainstay knives in Luoyang are rusty.

The 7,000 forbidden troops were intimidating some of the grassroots. Empress Dowager He had not yet calmed down, and the imperial dynasty was not yet approaching. In the blink of an eye, Dong Zhuo had taken control of most of the forbidden troops in Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo even secretly exchanged the elite cavalry of his headquarters with the garrison in the outer city. The garrison outside the city remained unchanged, and the outer city of Luoyang was almost completely controlled by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army.

Until then, in order to prevent Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and other senior generals from jumping out to cause trouble, Dong Zhuo began to counterattack the resistance of the courtiers.

He rebuked the ministers of the court for their incompetence, which caused turmoil in Luoyang and the emperor's exile. In addition, the Yuan family in Runan became so mad that he took advantage of the chaos to kill the Han chariot and cavalry generals.

Well, again, it doesn't matter whether the Yuan family killed it with his own hands. If Yuan family dared to push someone to take the blame, Dong Zhuo would really not cause trouble to the Yuan family over this matter.

But obviously, Yuan doesn't dare. Yuan is the leader of the family, not the dark-colored boss. If they push someone to top the tank at this time, who will have fun with them in the future?

Empress Dowager He deeply hated He Miao's murder, and was slightly moved by Dong Zhuo's petition to punish the lawless.

Empress Dowager He weighed the possibility of removing some of the Xiyuan captains' posts, and wanted Ding Yuan, who had led his troops to Luoyang, to take over part of the Xiyuan military power. First, it could restrain Dong Zhuo, and secondly, the combined power of the two armies could also suppress the restless scholars in the court.

As for Liu Cang? Liu Cang can't be found again. I really can't find him.

Empress Dowager He rarely used foul language, but for Liu Cang, who showed up just when the emperor returned to the court, and then went on a so-called voyage to the East China Sea, He Lian really scolded her a lot.

In Liu Cang's absence, He Lian did not dare to mobilize the Yulin cavalry in Shanglinyuan. Stationing troops in Shanglin could still have some deterrent effect. She was really afraid that if the troops in Shanglin were transferred out, they would be taken over by others.

Seeing Liu Cang's attitude, Empress Dowager He gradually lost hope in Liu Cang. However, she had just appointed Ding Yuan, who was also leading the army and stationed outside Luoyang City, as Zhijinwu.

Are you hanging out with the Runan family?

They are all bastards! They are all unreliable!

While Ding Yuan was fighting to the death for wanting to lead troops into Luoyang to fight with Dong Zhuo, He Lian sent people to seek help from the clansmen of Wai Fangzhou Mu, and at the same time he kept sending people to Liu Cang's mansion to issue summons.

Officials from aristocratic families wanted to cause trouble, and foreign military generals wanted to seize power. After thinking about it for a while, He Lian could only pin her hopes on her clan.

And it's not like He Lian didn't know that most of the clan members of this generation had been manipulated by Liu Hong from childhood to adulthood. But at any rate, Liu Hong was completely cool. Now she only hopes that those clan members can take into account their reputation.

Liu Cang was the only powerful clan member near the imperial city, and after several summonses, Liu Cang seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure and entered the palace to meet her, the ruling Queen Mother.

"Liu Cang, the royal family has treated you well. Now that the Han Dynasty is being bullied and you sit back and watch, what do you want?" In the harem, He Lianping retreated, leaving the eunuch Zhao Chun alone, questioning Liu Cang who was distracted and smiling strangely.

.

"Huh?" Liu Cang recovered from the fantasy of entering the electric age from the steam era, and questioned slightly. When he looked at He Lian, he glanced at Zhao Chun.

[By the way, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app, .huanyuanapp install the latest version. 】

Zhao Chun, Zhao Zhong's younger brother, was often with He Lian, including Pan Yin, who was with Liu Cang when he first met Jian Shuo. The two of them survived the Shi Changshi Rebellion.

"Is the royal family treating orphans poorly?" Liu Cang muttered, while He Lian was still angry. On the contrary, Zhao Chun's expression was a bit strange.

"Empress Dowager, everyone is here to fight for their lives. Even the princes and princes are mostly seeking food and housing for the late emperor. How can you be so generous?" Liu Cang asked He Lian.

"You..." He Lian was speechless for a moment. These were Liu Hong's fault and she didn't want to bear the blame.

As for Liu Cang's self-identification, He Lian has long been used to it. Although she feels aggrieved in her heart, calling her a loner in front of her may also represent ambition. People outside are grimacing. At this time, He Lian is not taboo against Liu Cang.

Like this.

"But I will treat you well after all. Now that Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou is in control of the court, all the officials in the court are afraid of his military power, and many of them dare not go against his ideas. You are a clan prince..." He Lian turned to face with pain,

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted again by Liu Cang.

"Your Majesty, I am still the commander of Shanglin Garden, and I have a battalion of Yu Lin who can't rebel and leave Shanglin. If my name is not right and my words are not right, you don't want me to go with Sikong, the former general of the Han Dynasty who holds the powerful army of the Forbidden Army.

Discussing politics and fighting for power, right?”

Well, Sikong Dongzhuo.

However, Liu Hong, who took over the post of Sikong not long ago, did not step down from the post of Guang Luxun. Dong Zhuo was involved in the death penalty of Guang Luxun and Liu Hong because of his incompetence and killings in the inner court.

Then...Liu Hong directly petitioned Dong Zhuo to be the Great Han Sikong, and then he was guaranteed to be safe. Dong Zhuo ascended the throne as the Third Duke.

It has to be said that the impact of the Shichangshi Rebellion was far more far-reaching than imagined, and the Yuan family in Runan was somewhat suspected of digging a hole but not burying it.

"Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Yu of Youzhou, including Liu Biao who was the governor of Jingzhou earlier. If you want to find relatives to suppress Dong Zhuo, why shouldn't you come here to do it?" In response to He Lian's complaint, Liu Cang

He shook his head and asked.

"Are you holding back your hatred? That's why you abandoned the Han Dynasty this time?" He Lian asked.

To say that He Lian really didn't give Liu Cang any practical benefits after Liu Hong's death, it wasn't that she didn't want to win over Liu Cang, it was just that Liu Cang was content and she was busy, and she also wanted to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

Take care...

There seemed to be resentment in Liu Cang's words at this time, and He Lian felt happy in her heart. It was good to be angry, but she was afraid that Liu Cang would just be evasive, which would make it more difficult to mediate.

"Be patient? Your Majesty is serious, Gu Zhen doesn't have the time." Liu Cang shook his head, raised his hand to stop He Lian from answering, and Liu Cang continued.

"Recently, General Gu will open flight services at Sanshanguan." When Liu Cang said, He Lian was at a loss.

"I can fly with people even if I am alone. Flying to Luoyang to the Western Regions, I will arrive in less than half a day." Liu Cang had a proud smile on his lips, and He Lian had a black line on his forehead.

very good, very powerful!

Riding a giant eagle and flying soaringly, He Lian really thought it was awesome.

But now is the time to talk about this kind of thing? The world is going to be in chaos, okay? You're actually thinking about the damn flying business?

"Traveling thousands of miles eastward from Yangzhou, I found a barbaric land no smaller than that of the Han Dynasty, including the Japanese slave Yingzhou, which is rich in aquatic and mineral resources. If your majesty is at ease, I can take your majesty to have a look."

"When I talk to His Majesty about this, I really want His Majesty to understand that there is no need for Gu Zhen to do anything to hide his hatred." Liu Cang kept shaking his head, and He Lian's expression became more and more ugly.

"The collapse of the Han Dynasty is imminent. You...don't talk about barbarism, Yingzhou, do you really think that I can't cure you!?" He Lian's face was gloomy.

In peacetime, what Liu Cang said was also very attractive to He Lian. But now, seeing that her mother and son were about to be controlled by others, how could she still be in the mood to think about places outside the sea.

"Oh, Zhi? His Majesty is in charge of the world, and Guzi dare not challenge His Majesty. However, the world is so big, there is no place that Guzi cannot go? I think Laigu still has the ability to take his family away from the trouble." Liu Cang said coldly, He Lian

When the accident happened, it was as uncomfortable as eating a dead fly.

You bastard, why don't you argue with me? You just stay away, you are not a hero! He Lian was going crazy.

"Oh~~! They are all members of the family. Queen Mother, please calm down and King Dongping, don't be anxious. Everything can be discussed."

"The Queen Mother only hopes that King Dongping and the Han Dynasty will advance and retreat together. How can the Han Dynasty allow the Liangzhou barbarians to do whatever they want?" Liu Cang and He Lian stared at each other, while Zhao Chun tried to persuade them.
