Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

When the later Prince Li was just born, Emperor Xiaowu of the Great Han Dynasty made him a "Crown Prince" Fu, making it clear that the chariots and horses wanted to make Liu Zheng the prince.

and after?Forced to rebel!

Zhu Cihong is not stupid, and he also knows that Emperor Chongzhen has the ability and courage to change an heir at any time, and he also knows that he has no chance to jump, and even his own capital is not as good as Liu Shi.

After all, when Liu Ju rebelled, he could still gather an army to fight Emperor Xiaowu with swords and guns, but he would probably be tied up by the soldiers led by Prince Liu and handed over to Emperor Chongzhen for disposal.

Because Emperor Chongzhen's prestige in the army was so high that everyone could only look up to him.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Cihong decided to follow in the footsteps of Emperor Chongzhen and learn slowly until he took over the ruling power of the empire from Emperor Chongzhen.

……

Less than half a month later, the Mongolian Wanqi who was sent out came back to his life.

Battelle, with his back bent and hunched, was still the same as before, prostrate in front of Emperor Chongzhen like a well-behaved Tibetan mastiff: "Your Majesty Qizuo, there are a total of 37 officials involved in the case, all of whom have been captured and handed over to Beizhen Fusi Lingchi.

All the old people over 70 years old and children under the age of seven from the three ethnic groups have been killed. These old people and children, together with the remaining nine ethnic groups, were handed over to the labor camps of the Ministry of Railways. "

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "Go back and look for Lin Huanyu and Ma Shi, they will tell you who else needs to be dealt with.

Remember, the same disposal method as these bastards, Lingchi who should be Lingchi, kill what should be killed, and throw the rest to the labor camp. "

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, waved his hands and ordered Battelle to back out.

This decision was very bloody and cruel, but thinking about these bastards taking the next generation of Ming Dynasty to harm them in order to make money, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt that this punishment was too light.

8 Chapter Twenty

The matter of scientific development has never been achieved overnight, even if Emperor Chongzhen is already half a golden finger.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed out that the steam engine will be the main scientific development in the future, and then he will allocate part of his energy to the research and development of internal combustion engines.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed out that electric energy is a treasure bestowed by God to the world, and it is necessary to study how to use it.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed out that the sky is not full of gods and Buddhas, because this starry sky is also a gift from God to mankind. The gods are all in another plane, with space barriers, and ordinary people cannot pass through.

However, all of this is of no use. Apart from Zhang Xianyong's more pious practice of Taoism, in the hope that one day he will be able to become a sanctified body and pass through the barriers of space. Perhaps the biggest change left is the impact on the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, if they follow the real son of heaven like Emperor Chongzhen, if they lose some military exploits or something, even if they can't be a heavenly soldier and general after death, they should at least have an errand in the underworld, so that they can take care of their future. people?

Perhaps in another aspect, it has also infinitely enhanced the cohesion of the people of Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a surprise.

As for the Royal Academy, Emperor Chongzhen already wanted to push the seedlings to encourage them, and it would be best if he could get a few engineering dogs to cross over.

Without him, the Royal Academy's research on weapons is still on the right track. The appearance of fixed-mounted rifles with all-metal shells is almost a major subversion of the original way of warfare. Even the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, which has been thinking about all-firearms warfare, has to follow suit. Research new tactics.

However, in other respects, it can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

The steam engine is still good, even without the urging of Emperor Chongzhen, the strong bottom-up demand from the people is forcing the Ministry of Railways to come up with faster and more stable trains.

Naturally, the Ministry of Railways did not have the strength to study steam locomotives, and even if it had the energy, it would not be able to resist the huge expenses brought about by the construction of railways. Naturally, it pushed the problem to the Royal Academy.

Being annoyed by the Ministry of Railways, and unable to kill the people of the Ministry of Railways directly, the Royal Academy naturally devoted more energy to the research and development of steam locomotives.

Then the internal combustion engine and electricity became the stepmother,

Of course, this stepmother's standard is compared with the investment of the entire Royal Academy in various projects. If you look at it from the private capital, this stepmother's fingertips will be enough to eat. .

The internal combustion engine has not moved for a long time. Emperor Chongzhen is not in a hurry. Anyway, it is basically impossible to drive a car 50 years before Chongzhen. Everyone from the harem to the court to the people will object to driving himself.

They would even object to getting in a car by themselves—just like when an ironclad ship is docked at the port, they can go up by themselves, but once they want to sail on an ironclad ship, they will be opposed by a large number of people.

As for electricity, it is even more difficult.

People in the Ming Dynasty may not be able to imagine how widely electricity was used in later generations. After seeing the various magical uses of electricity, it is basically impossible to say that Emperor Chongzhen was not interested in the study of electricity.

The problem is that Emperor Chongzhen himself was also a novice in science and engineering. Apart from the concept of winding, there was basically nothing left. Come to a computer in advance. Emperor Chongzhen can compile more than N programs, but Daming Where is there a computer?

After staying in the harem for a few days, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but ran to the Royal Academy again, aiming at the light bulb.

The light bulb is definitely a good thing. Not to mention how useful it is on a steam locomotive, it would be very powerful if it could even be installed on a carriage.

Leaving aside what kind of changes the horse-drawn carriage will bring to the people, the military use alone is very useful-the reason why there were few marches at night or no march at all in ancient times was the backwardness of lighting methods and the effects of night blindness. exist.

Night blindness was no longer a problem for Daming at this time. With the increase in food production, more people could afford to eat meat, not to mention the soldiers in the guards.

Without lack of nutrition, there is basically no soil for night blindness, except for very few congenital night blindness.

The most critical problem lies in the backwardness of night lighting methods.

Marching with torches is not impossible, but the limitations of torches are too great. If you are afraid of rain and weather, a large number of soldiers march forward with torches. Even if you march at night, you will have some fighting power left ?

It's completely different with electric lights.

The capacity of the battery can be gradually increased. There are some great people in the Royal Academy who will gradually increase the capacity of the battery.

Especially after the application of household appliances such as flashlights in the military, there are many benefits.

Song Yingxing was not at all surprised by the arrival of Emperor Chongzhen, but after a brief greeting with Emperor Chongzhen, he plunged into the laboratory again, thinking about the problem of the light bulb.

In front of a large number of light bulbs, there are small signs standing upright, which indicate what material the light bulbs use as filaments and when they are lit. Obviously, this time the experiment has just started.

After half an hour, the bulbs started to go out, and Song Yingxing also put a cross on the corresponding brand, which meant that this material was not enough to be used as a filament.

Until the sun went down again, the last light bulb that was still on flickered a few times unwillingly, and finally went out.

Song Yingxing sighed, and after finishing packing up the things on the experimental table, he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, the longest time for the current experiment is only four hours. I want to find durable materials as filaments. I’m afraid it will take a long time.”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Try slowly, this kind of experiment itself is unknown, I have a lot of patience, Song Aiqing don't worry.

However, I came here today to discuss with Song Aiqing, what would happen if I replaced the simple metal wire with an alloy?For example, use black silk, mix it with silver or copper, and then experiment?

Can various metals be mixed together like lead and tin, or copper and lead?If so, what characteristics would they each have? "

Xu Guangqi was suddenly a little depressed: "Your Majesty, there are tens of thousands of materials in the world. If we conduct synthesis experiments on various materials and find out their characteristics, not only will it take a long time, but cost will also be a big problem?"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "1000 million guan! The Royal Academy has set up a separate branch of material research, and I have allocated 1000 million guan from internal funds every year for research on various materials.

If this matter can be successful, if other colleges want to use any new materials in the future, they just need to search according to the map, and then get the formula from the materials college. "

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen knew that this kind of basic science was expensive, and it was not easy to see the results. He didn't see that those commercial groups and scientists in later generations were all playing with applied science instead of basic science.

As for this kind of basic science, only the country is willing to spend money continuously, and it spends money persistently year after year, because it is difficult to see results in this kind of basic science, and it is too expensive for ordinary people to afford.

The cost issue was naturally not a problem for Emperor Chongzhen. The total amount of gold and silver sent by the Shaofu to the internal funds every year was tens of millions of taels, and Emperor Chongzhen naturally did not want to watch these gold and silver grow hairs in the warehouse.
