One thousand ninety-seven Guo's exclusive royal chariot
After the emperor left Luoyang, the main forces gathered outside the city also set out to fight, and a large number of troops headed northward, with a mighty sound.
However, after a performance, Guo Peng could not continue to lead the entire army to perform.
He boarded his own [chariot] and began to meet the ministers who went on the battle together in the chariot, and handled the government affairs that he needed to handle.
Well, we started to go out here and we were going to start dealing with government affairs there.
Even in war, the emperor must not miss the things he has to do.
Speaking of this [chariot], it is more like a mobile room than a chariot.
From the outside, this is undoubtedly a large carriage, so big that many people have never seen it.
But as the emperor's [chariot], it is natural that it is so big.
From the appearance, there is nothing special except big. The same decoration, the same carving, elegant and solemn, which is in line with Guo Peng's favorite dark-colored appearance.
But when you enter it, there is another world.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. There is not only a smaller version of the study, but also a smaller version of the bedroom, and even a toilet.
This is the emperor's exclusive [chariot] created by the Ministry of Works after Guo Peng decided to go to war. In order to please Guo Peng, Tian Feng ordered the Ministry of Works to spend several months to gather all the powerful craftsmen.
Everything aims to be comfortable and high defense, with the focus on being low-key without being luxurious, practical without being rough.
When the chariot was built, Tian Feng was confidently invited Guo Peng to visit the royal chariot and introduced it to him one by one.
The reduced-edition study house has tables and chairs instead of cushions and table tables.
Unlike in the palace, for convenience, tables and chairs are placed here and specially fixed to ensure that the road does not shake when it is not flat enough.
When you are studying, writing, or handling government affairs, you won’t feel uncomfortable.
There are many other things on the table that are also fixed, such as inkstones, candlesticks, and pen holders. They are all made with this table and they just grow on it.
On the left side of the table and chair is a bookshelves, with many created boxes on it. All important documents can be placed in the box without worrying about falling.
The reduced version of the bedroom also looks quite small and exquisite, with all the things that should be available, which is enough for Guo Peng to sleep and turn over, as well as a curtain, which can isolate the bed from some space outside, and looks like a separate small bedroom.
Guo Peng can take a nap here when he is tired.
There is also a circle of curtains on the outside of the toilet. When Guo Peng is in a hurry, he pulls the curtain to create a very secret small space, which can be safe and convenient.
There is a wooden barrel under the toilet. Every time Guo Peng finished the convenience, he would immediately replace the new wooden barrel to avoid the indecent smell in the emperor's living space.
Of course, in order to further make the emperor comfortable, the car always has incense.
Incense during the day is an incense that can refresh the mind, and at night is an incense that can help sleep. It is specially configured by the large clinic led by Hua Tuo, and is only prepared for Mr. Guo alone.
There is no problem taking a bath either.
The space inside the car is large enough. The eunuch team will specially prepare a wooden bucket for bathing for Guo Peng, boil hot water and pour it in. Then Guo Peng can enjoy the bathing time alone in the car, and there is no problem asking someone to come up and scrub the bath.
In addition to these equipment, there is also an ice magazine in this car, where ice cubes can be placed.
Because it was summer when we went to war, the weather was hot, and it would be very stuffy when we stayed in the car. Tian Feng took this into consideration and asked the craftsmen to design an ice magazine. Putting ice cubes inside would slowly melt the ice and then radiate cool air.
In this way, no matter how hot the outside is, the inside is very cool.
Whether it is during the day or at night, no matter when, as long as the emperor needs it, there will be no problem ensuring the supply of ice in the car at twelve hours a day.
In order to supply sufficient ice, when we set out, the team also had saltpeter prepared specifically for Guo Peng to use ice. The amount of prepared was prepared in one year, regardless of cost.
Not only that, Bingjianli can also ice fresh fruits, iced juices, various beverages, and various fresh and cold foods to ensure that the emperor will not be worried about the heat.
In short, the original intention of the design of this car is to allow Guo Peng to solve any physiological needs without leaving the car. Even when the army camps and rests at night, Guo Peng doesn't have to get off the car, and there is no problem sleeping in the car.
Even if the expedition fee of the over 1,000 soldiers who served the emperor alone would be worth it.
How could Mr. Guo compare the significance of the entire Wei Empire by a thousand big-headed soldiers?
Compared with this, it’s a lot of money. What else can I talk about?
How can we calculate the cost when serving the emperor?
The Emperor is the only exception in this army.
Mr. Guo himself believes this.
As long as you need it, let alone artillery, there is no problem in drawing a picture to ask them to get a musket for themselves. They promise to complete a "musket" as shown in the picture for Guo Peng to play.
Of course, it is hard to say whether it can be started, whether it is a work of art or an industrial product.
For the sake of the emperor, they could turn any industrial product into a work of art, and it was not impossible to transcend the times.
But what Mr. Guo wants is mass-produced industrial products, not exquisite works of art. After all, art can transcend the times, but cannot change the times.
So these things don't make much sense.
But this cool and pleasant Royal Chariot is still very comfortable.
The weather in late May is not cool no matter what, and it is even quite stuffy many times, so with this car, Guo Peng's journey will be much easier.
It was hot, so I went to the car to rest, eat some iced fruits and drink some juice. Although it was not as cool as in Luoyang Palace, it was really much easier than the one I used to be.
A long time ago, when he was leading troops as a general, Guo Peng still shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
He eats whatever the soldier eats, he rests as he rests, and he takes the same bath as the soldier takes a bath.
They marched together, walked together, fought together, and bleed together, thus becoming the most powerful warlord step by step and established the Wei Empire.
Today is different from the past. He is the emperor. Some things cannot be the same as in the past. They must have a sense of distance and special characteristics that should be.
After all, he is an emperor, not a general.
When Guo Peng needs to go out to show his face, he will go out to ride a horse and show his face, cheer the soldiers up and say that I am with you, which will be enough to excite the soldiers for a long time.
Most of the other days, he will handle government and military affairs in this car, and enjoy unique and luxurious services.
The ministers who needed to discuss issues with him got on the train one by one, discussed face to face one by one, then made a decision, and sent them back to Luoyang for the execution of the department.
Because it has many uses and is very practical, Guo Peng thinks this car is actually quite good.
After discussing the issue of further renovating the Yellow River, he praised Tian Feng for it.
"I can think of this step for me, Yuan Hao, you did a good job, I like this car very much."
"It is my duty to do things for Your Majesty."
Tian Feng quickly expressed his excitement and gratitude, and said that he would continue to work hard for the Wei Empire tomorrow.
He spent a lot of effort to please the emperor and personally participated in the design and details of the car, which took a lot of energy to do it, but in the end he received praise from the emperor, Tian Feng suddenly felt that he was busy for a while and it was worth it.
A large army is naturally not a simple matter.
If it were in the past, some army marching with poor military discipline would be like locusts crossing the border, wherever they go, wherever they go, they would dare to do anything.
So in order to protect the country and protect the people, some local officials put military supplies outside the city when the army passes through the border, and the city gates are closed, and they lead people to guard the city walls to avoid being rushed into the city by the army to be robbers.
If they really wanted to rush in for a snatch, the local officials were really crying.
The Wei army had no such worries when marching. They all followed the prescribed routes, and would not disturb the people and basically would not approach the city.
These routes include Weizhi Road, which was repaired a long time ago. The roads are flat and wide, and the ground is solid and easy to walk on.
When the marching was in the past, it was sunny and the rain and the land were mixed together. The muddy road could quickly reduce the marching speed of the army to the snail level.
Not only is it troublesome to walk, but it is even more troublesome to train and horses. The roads will also become bumpy due to the driving of a large number of train and horses, which is extremely difficult to walk and is very easy to mislead.
Wei Zhidao took these issues into consideration when designing.
The straight road surface is repeatedly compacted and flat, and waterproofing is done.
If road collapses due to heavy rain, which affects the progress of the army, then the officials responsible for the road conditions will not be able to solve the problem simply by apologizing.
Because of these prior lessons, the Wei army's marching was relatively convenient.
When it rains, the whole army wears a straw hat, a straw raincoat, and puts on straw sandals to deal with the heavy rain well, and then change into normal outfits after the weather clears up.
The road surface is flat and there will be no bumps, which will affect the advancement of the entire army, and of course it will not affect Mr. Guo who is sitting in the car.
Whenever you arrive at an inn, there are naturally responsible personnel and military officers in the inn to connect with each other to take away the food and military supplies needed by the army. Everything will follow the process and there will be no problems.
The army also stopped eating, buried pots and made rice on both sides of the road. The soldiers gathered around to eat, rested for a while, dug a hole to solve personal problems, and then gathered and continued to march.
