Chapter 343 Consort Fucha
Mogra held Amur's hand
"Amur, you must remember, the future of the Dzungar Khanate depends on you."
You must be filial to your mother and keep up with the Qing Dynasty.
Amur held Mog's hand tightly, tears welling in his eyes:
"Father, I understand. I will take good care of Mother and make the Dzungar tribe stronger."
Mog smiled slightly, turning his gaze to Princess Chaogui:
"Chao Gui, you've suffered so much these past years."
I'm entrusting Amur to you. I have faith in the Emperor's guidance.
With you by his side, Amur will surely become a qualified Khan.
A hint of emotion flashed in Princess Chaogui's eyes, and she said softly:
"Don't worry, I will."
Mog nodded, and as if using up his last bit of strength, slowly closed his eyes.
Amur cried out "Father" in grief, tears streaming down his face.
Princess Chaogui silently shed tears. Although she and Moge did not have a deep affection for each other, they were, after all, husband and wife.
After handling Mog's funeral arrangements, Amur officially succeeded to the throne of the Dzungar Khanate.
With the help of Princess Chaogui, Princess Shuhe, and others, he quickly stabilized the situation in the Dzungar Khanate.
Princess Shuhe and her entourage also began investigating the early death of the princess sent for a political marriage.
With the clues provided by Princess Chaogui, things quickly became clear.
Those who plotted against the princess were all brought to justice and severely punished.
Those tribes that didn't take the Qing princess seriously
Under the pressure from Princess Shuhe and other princesses, as well as Amur, the new Khan of the Dzungar Khanate, Huomu Cang...
They all have a new leader.
The surviving princesses and their children were also taken away by Shu and the others.
Those tribes feared the Qing Dynasty, lest it one cannon shot obliterate the entire Mongol Empire.
They could only watch helplessly as Princess Shuhe and her ilk acted arrogantly and domineeringly.
Meanwhile, inside the Forbidden City, Liang Wanyi's belly grew larger and larger.
It was even unusually large; Fucha Peiyun looked at Liang Wanyi's baby, which was only three months old.
But it felt like a five- or six-month pregnancy, and I had a guess in my mind.
He hurriedly sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to inquire whether Wen Shichu had taken office.
Unexpectedly, Wen Shichu happened to be at the Imperial Hospital today.
Upon receiving the news, Wen Shichu of the Imperial Medical Academy immediately rushed to Kunning Palace.
He was startled when he saw Liang Wanyi's unusually protruding belly.
After carefully taking his pulse, Wen Shichu's expression became serious.
Upon seeing this, Fucha Peiyun's heart tightened, and she asked urgently:
"Imperial Physician Wen, what's wrong with the Empress's pregnancy?"
Why is her belly so unusually large?
Wen Shichu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Your Majesty, I suspect that the Empress may be carrying twins, or even multiples."
While rare, this is not impossible.
Multiple pregnancies often result in a larger-looking belly in the early stages.
Upon hearing this, Fucha Peiyun was both surprised and worried:
Twins? Multiple births? What should we do?
Multiple pregnancies carry extremely high risks; could the Empress's body withstand them?
Wen Shichu nodded and said:
"The Empress Dowager is absolutely right."
Multiple pregnancies do indeed carry significant risks and pose a tremendous challenge to the Empress's health.
However, Her Majesty the Empress is in good health and has been paying great attention to exercise in the past two years.
With proper care, Huichen believed there shouldn't be any major problems.
Upon learning of this news, Hongchang immediately rushed to Kunning Palace.
Seeing Liang Wanyi's protruding belly, he was filled with worry and heartache.
He took Liang Wanyi's hand and said softly:
"Wanyi, you must take good care of yourself."
From now on, you can leave those palace affairs to your attendants and focus on your pregnancy.
Fucha Peiyun looked at Wen Shichu
"Imperial Physician Wen, the Empress's pregnancy cannot be compromised; I entrust it to you."
"Leave everything outside the palace to Wei Lin and the others for now."
Wen Shichu nodded and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure the safety of the Empress and the unborn child."
From then on, Wen Shichu went to Kunning Palace almost every day to take Liang Wanyi's pulse.
We carefully prepared her medicinal diet to ensure her good health.
Liang Wanyi followed her doctor's advice and focused on her pregnancy.
He entrusted palace affairs to the maids around him.
I only need to spend a little time confirming that they haven't made any mistakes.
Empress Fucha Peiyun and Empress Nian Shilan would also frequently come to inquire about the Empress's pregnancy.
After the fall of Japan, the Japanese were forced into mining labor.
The excavated gold and silver mines were transported to the Qing Dynasty.
To get rich, build roads first; both economic and military development are inseparable from convenient transportation.
Because of the invention of cement, even when the late emperor was still alive...
During the Qing Dynasty, cement was used to pave official roads and post roads.
Now that they have more gold and silver, Hongchang plans to further improve its transportation network.
He ordered the construction of more cement roads throughout the country to connect cities and villages.
At the same time, more sturdy cement bridges will be built over rivers to facilitate the transportation of goods and the movement of people.
But that wasn't enough. Hongchang thought of the steam engine blueprints that Fucha Peiyun had given him before.
He had also long ago commissioned research into the manufacture and uses of the steam engine.
After a period of research
The craftsmen finally overcame the technical difficulties and successfully manufactured a practical steam engine.
Under Fucha Peiyun's guidance, Hongchang realized that steam engine power could be used to pull more goods.
There were also human-powered carts, but the current concrete roads certainly couldn't support such vehicles.
To make steam locomotives truly effective, the load-bearing capacity of roads must be further improved.
Therefore, he ordered the gathering of artisans and engineers from across the country.
Jointly research how to build stronger and more durable roads
Then came the railway tracks, which led to the birth of the railway.
Hongchang ordered the construction of railways throughout the country, connecting major cities and important ports.
With the completion and opening of the first railway connecting the capital to the south of the Yangtze River,
The transportation landscape of the Qing Dynasty underwent a dramatic transformation.
The advent of railways greatly improved the efficiency of goods transportation.
It reduced transportation costs and promoted economic exchange and development in various regions.
The Qing Dynasty's economy experienced unprecedented prosperity, with commercial activities becoming increasingly frequent across the country.
The market offers a wider variety of goods and prices are more stable.
While railways were being built, the Qing Dynasty's industry also experienced rapid development.
The application of steam engines was not limited to railway transportation.
It has also been gradually extended to multiple fields such as mining, textiles, and machinery manufacturing.
The efficiency of mining in the Qing Dynasty increased significantly.
The mining volume of resources such as gold, silver, and iron ore is constantly increasing.
It provided ample raw materials for industrial development.
But this also made Hongchang realize that the mine would eventually run out of resources.
It would be best to dig in other countries, like Japan.
This made Hongchang's warlike heart start to stir again.
However, Hongchang did not act rashly; this war required sufficient preparation and a reasonable justification.
He began to closely monitor the developments of neighboring countries, looking for suitable opportunities and targets.
Meanwhile, in education, women's education in the Qing Dynasty was further developed.
More and more women are beginning to receive education and learn various kinds of knowledge and skills.
