I am the king of the dead

Xing'an bowed his head and said loudly: "Our Ming army's prestige has been greatly shaken, the flag has won the victory, and it will be successful!"

This is not a battle that can determine the outcome, and it is even a bit insignificant, but it is the first time that Da Ming and Annan confronted each other head-on, and Da Ming ended the first battle with a complete victory.

Zhu Qiyu closed the Tang newspaper, handed it to Xing'an and said solemnly: "Keep a good record, and reward you for your merits in the future."

It is Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian's consistent attitude to reward meritorious deeds after the war is over. Daming has never opened champagne halfway.

After Daming's victory, Zhu Qiyu immediately became refreshed and began to review the memorials for the day.

The case of Hu Lian, the royal censor of Qiandu, has finally been settled. He has been dismissed from his official position and is being sent to Yongning Temple in Liaodong. Generally, those who are exiled to Yongning Temple have no possibility of recovery.

The court officials who were able to make a comeback after impeachment were mostly dismissed from office or dismissed from their fame. For example, Shang Ren was dismissed and dismissed from his fame and returned to his hometown after the change of seizing the door. However, during the Chenghua period, Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen of the Ming Dynasty activated Shang Ren again.

Or it may be exiled in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou, Jiangxi and other smoky places. After the situation in the court changes, it may still be used, but it is sent to Yongning Temple, which basically means that it will survive on its own.

Hu Lian has no chance of recovery.

As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Wei posted a copy of Xie Enshu, and at the same time reported that the Beijing officials who impeached him were really copying the "24 Laws of Sophistry", using the Taige style.

In the memorial, Hu Wei highly agreed with the precision and thoroughness of His Majesty's "24 Laws of Sophisms", and at the same time, highly agreed with His Majesty's practice of criticizing phenomena rather than individuals or groups.

Criticizing phenomena without criticizing specific individuals or groups is a common practice that allows room in the political process.

Specifically, in the "24 Laws of Sophistry", what His Majesty scolded was the common phenomenon of sophistry among courtiers and Chinese officials, not the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and Hu Wei should not be impeached.

The job of Kodao officials is to impeach bureaucrats. If His Majesty criticizes and reprimands these Kodao officials because of the impeachment of Hu Wei by the Kodao officials, will the Kodao officials be able to impeach others in the future?Is the supervision method headed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate completely ineffective?

And He Zhang got the "24 Laws of Sophistry" and also got His Majesty's Shangfang Sword. He has a specific program, specific requirements and test results for rectifying the unhealthy trends in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This is something beneficial to Daming.

The dualism of black and white, without any buffer and room, is especially taboo in state affairs.

For example, in October of the 14th year of Zhengtong, Wala went south, and Wala besieged the capital. Is it to save Daming, or not to save Daming?

If the dualism of black and white is followed, Ming has already lost the most elite Beijing camp, millions of people are in chaos in Fujian, and more than 30 villagers in Huguang have gone to the mountains to fall grass.

Daming has become so rotten, he might as well go out of the city to meet Master Wala!

Anyway, Zhu Qizhen, the orthodox emperor of Ming Dynasty, raised his dragon flag and banner and knocked on the door of Desheng!

But no one would choose to open the door and bow to the robbers, even Xu Youzhen didn't have this idea, and didn't say the words of welcoming the emperor back to the city. Xu Youzhen was a representative of the southward migration. Disarm, live and die with the Ming capital.

Even though Daming was rotten at that time, the consensus was still that Daming should not perish, no matter how rotten he was, he had to save it, and strive to survive and become stronger. This was the consensus.

The opposite of this point is what Su Xiandi did.

The Soviet Union is rotten, falling into the sand in the cemetery of the empire in Afghanistan, and has encountered a huge military crisis. However, due to the sluggishness of light industry in the Soviet Union, problems in agricultural distribution have arisen, causing people's livelihood to be miserable.

Almost the same as the orthodox 14-year Ming Dynasty, under internal and external troubles, what did Su Xiandi do?

Since it is rotten, there is no need to exist!

Demolition!

Su Xiandi exchanged the independence of the Union countries for his personal political status. The KGB monitored Su Xiandi's phone call and heard the exchange between Su Xiandi and the allied countries discussing the independence of the allied countries for Su Xiandi to be the co-owner of all countries.

Of course, after the abdication, Emperor Su Xian did not obtain the political status he wanted. Instead, he did not even obtain an oligarch status. He participated in commercial performances everywhere, and in various documentaries, like Mrs. Xianglin, announced the disintegration of the Soviet Union over and over again. .

When the country is going downhill, someone needs a hard step on the gas pedal.

Both Su Xiandi and Yeltsin were drivers who stepped on the accelerator. The difference was that Su Xiandi stepped on the accelerator while Yeltsin stood up and stepped on it.

The political struggle between the two of them in Moscow was not to save the crumbling Soviet Union, but Yeltsin felt that Emperor Su Xian stepped on the accelerator too lightly and accelerated directly.

The Soviet Union is rotten, so there is no need to exist?Instead of thinking about how to save the Soviet Union, but to compete who demolished the house faster?

This is the dualism that Zhu Qiyu criticized in "24 Laws of Sophisms". One extreme goes to the other, which will eventually lead the country into the abyss.

After Zhu Qiyu reviewed the memorial, Xing'an took a plate covered with red silk and placed it on the long table in the imperial study.

"What? Who sent it?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the thing in front of him that was as big as a palm and less than a bundle high, and asked suspiciously.

Red silk cloth is the basic method of presenting auspiciousness. Obviously, the things brought by Xing'an are the auspiciousness presented by a certain company in Ming Dynasty.

What is good at the top is bound to be bad at the bottom. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty liked this auspicious auspiciousness, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty began to do what they liked.

His Majesty's rewards are extremely rich, not only social status, but also material rewards enough to settle down and buy a house.

"This is a gadget sent by the Qin Tianjian and the Ten Great Calendar Bureaus. It is just a blueprint drawn by the Roman envoy Nicolaus, and it is an improved item of the Qin Tianjian." Xing'an said with a smile.

"Oh? I'm getting more and more curious." Zhu Qiyu opened the red silk cloth and saw a hollow ball on a brass bracket. There are two air pipes on the hollow ball. Light oil blowtorch.

"Here is a water pot. After the water boils, it enters the hollow ball along the copper pipe of the bracket. When the steam increases, the two air pipes of the copper ball will emit steam, pushing the hollow copper ball to rotate." Xing'an said while saying, Turn on the light oil blowtorch.

The flame of the light oil blowtorch licks the bottom of the pot, the hollow copper ball rotates slowly, two streams of steam are ejected slowly from the two air pipes, as the water boils violently, the copper ball carries two streams of rich steam, with With a scream, it spun rapidly.

After a full quarter of an hour, Xing'an turned off the blowtorch, and the copper ball slowly stopped.

Xing'an put another item of red silk cloth on the table and said: "This thing is called a steam ball. It was invented by a master of mathematics in Rome named Hero. Nicolaus translated Hero's "Mechanics". ", and dedicated the most representative steam ball as an auspicious sign to His Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu picked up the "Mechanical Collection". Hero was a Roman, a mathematician and an engineer. He invented some interesting gadgets, such as a steam organ, a syringe, and an automatic vending machine for holy water.

When the slot on the top of the machine accepts the coin from the coin-operator, the machine dispenses a certain amount of holy water to the coin-operator.

"Mechanical Collection" covers mathematics, mechanics, physics, optics and some aerodynamics. Engineering inventions include chain pumps, air pumps, piston pumps, running-driven waterwheels and other machinery.

"Give Nicolaus a generous touch-up fee, just one thousand silver coins. Thank him for bringing seven thousand volumes of Roman anthology and presiding over the translation. This is exactly what Ming needs." Zhu Qiyu together Going to the mechanical collection, he said with emotion.

One thousand silver coins a copy is really too cheap.

The Ming Dynasty, or the Central Plains Dynasty, has always had a culture of tolerance and tolerance. For example, the Datong Calendar of the Ming Dynasty refers to the Muslim calendar, and the "Jingtai Calendar" currently used by the Ming Dynasty is also the best of all schools of thought.

Of course, during the communication process, because Hu Ming mentioned that yours is mine and mine is mine, this kind of scumbag communication method made Nikolaoz very painful.

The details of this kind of communication, Zhu Qiyu and Hu Wei's attitudes are roughly the same.

Xing'an clapped his hands, and a small red door carried a red silk cloth into the imperial study room, and put it on the table.

"This is another piece sent by Belin from the Ten Great Calendar Bureaus, and it is the joint achievement of the Ten Great Calendar Bureaus." Xing'an opened the red silk cloth.

A one-foot-long, one-and-a-half-foot-high copper-nickel linkage mechanism with metallic luster appeared in front of Zhu Qiyu.

Xing'an pushes the reciprocating push rod, the connecting rod drives the flywheel to rotate, and Xing'an turns the flywheel again, and the reciprocating push rod starts to reciprocate back and forth.

Xing'an pointed to Xiangrui in front of him and said: "Qin Tianjian Xu Dun said that the movement of the world is nothing more than reciprocation and circle, and this connecting rod can make reciprocation into circle and circle into reciprocation."

Zhu Qiyu stood up abruptly, turned the flywheel with great interest, watched the push rod reciprocate, pushed the connecting rod, and watched the flywheel reciprocate.

"Okay, very good, very good." Zhu Qiyu had a great time playing, and kept nodding his head and said: "Rewards, there are many rewards, and Qin Tianjian will give you a miracle card! Each person will reward fifty silver coins!"

Xing'an looked at Xiangrui in front of him, and asked doubtfully, "Is fifty coins too much?"

According to past rewards, ten silver coins per person is almost enough, but His Majesty actually gave fifty silver coins to this linkage mechanism, which is really too much.

"A lot? Not much! The more the better, the more the better! It's just a reward." Zhu Qiyu kept turning the flywheel, watched the putter keep going back and forth, and said very confidently: "It's worth it, it's very worth it."

"Your Majesty obeys the order." Xing'an bowed his head and took the order. Fifty silver coins per person was indeed beyond the previous rewards, but His Majesty's own money was of course spent as he liked.

Zhu Qiyu played for a while, looked at the steam ball, then looked at the connecting rod mechanism, and fell into thinking. Daming had already walked to the door of the steam engine, to the door of how to boil water more efficiently, and opened a crack .

Someone needs to kick hard and kick the door open!

The industrial revolution, generally in terms of engineering, is to study how to boil water and use steam more efficiently.

Zhu Qiyu has been waiting for this day, and Daming finally came to the day when he needs to study how to boil water more efficiently.

He was already thinking about how to kick the door.

"Your Majesty, there are more." Xing'an clapped his hands again, this time it was Ran Siniang who came in instead of Xiao Huangmen.

Ran Siniang has recovered some of her former style, but her body is still plump. In the past few days, Ran Siniang has been able to see His Majesty without seeing His Majesty, and she is earnestly restoring her postpartum figure.

This Ran Siniang could not be found on weekdays, but today she took the initiative to deliver it to her door.

"See Your Majesty." Ran Siniang bowed, and put the copper plate covered with red silk cloth on the table.

Zhu Qiyu asked suspiciously: "What is this?"

"Fish Oil Mint Hydrosol Mosquito Repellent Aromatherapy Lamp." Ran Siniang slowly pulled the red silk cloth away, and a rather extravagant cloisonne smoker with a shape of more than two feet appeared in front of Zhu Qiyu.

Of course, Zhu Qiyu has seen this kind of smoker.

Ran Siniang lit a smoker and said with a smile: "Cut the oily fish into pieces and put them in the water. Boil them on a high fire. The soup will turn white and gradually turn yellow. Boil the oily fish, drain the fish oil, and filter to get oranges. Yellow fish oil."

"Put mosquito-repelling crops such as mint and geranium into a pot, add French wine to extract, boil, circulate and condense to obtain pure dew."

"Add peppermint oil to fish oil, put cotton thread as a wick, and it can be used to repel mosquitoes."

Zhu Qiyu smelled a scent of mint, which was indeed very refreshing.

Xing'an said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, oily fish is the main catch in the Yangtze River Basin in Sichuan, but this fish is poisonous. If you eat this fish, you will start to have diarrhea within a quarter of an hour, and it will last for two days."

What is the concept of diarrhea for two days?A fierce man like Yuan Bin will also become a soft-legged shrimp!

Poisonous fish cannot be eaten, and it is best used to make lamp oil. Moreover, after adding plant essential oils such as mint and geranium, not only does it not have a fishy smell, but it also has a fragrance, and it can also repel mosquitoes.

There is no doubt that Ran Siniang's lamp oil has the same positioning as Guangyue Facial Cream. It is not sold to the poor, but a high-end product sold to the rich.

The selling price of Guangyue Facial Fat is almost equivalent to gold.

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with the clear and beautiful smell of this aromatherapy lamp, he said with a smile: "The only problem is, some people will say that I am making an ever-burning lamp, and when the time comes, I will be given a candle with mermaid ointment as a candle, which can last forever." hat."

This is obviously not a problem for Zhu Qiyu.

Chapter 776 Blacksmith Emperor

Zhu Qiyu received three copies of auspiciousness in August of the ninth year of Jingtai, and then the emperor of Ming Dynasty began to live in seclusion. If the memorials sent by the courtiers to Nantang Bieyuan had not been approved all the time, the local officials in Guangzhou even doubted whether the emperor of Ming Dynasty had appeared What an accident.

There were also speculations about carrying a stone of abalone back to Beijing in order not to make a funeral, or carrying a stone of abalone back to Beijing secretly.

Nantang Bieyuan is surrounded by the official factory special zone established in Guangzhou, which is full of construction sites, and the construction is in full swing. Every day, eunuchs in red robes will come to Nantang Iron and Steel Factory with a blueprint to purchase and customize, and bring them back. A whole lot of parts.

Of course Zhu Qiyu was not surprised, he was thinking about how to boil water more efficiently.

The principle of the steam engine is not complicated, it is a reciprocating power machine that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work, and its structure is not difficult for Zhu Qiyu.

The steam engine includes boilers, gas pipes, speed regulating structures, slide valve gas distribution devices, cylinders, pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, and flywheels. These things are very simple for the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty, especially the big craftsmen of steel.

Only in terms of size and precision, Zhu Qiyu's requirements are extremely high, and the advancement is slow but firm enough.

On August 14th, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again. Zhu Qiyu, who had been dealing with various machines for a month, finally put down the work at hand and came to the Imperial Study Room to give a gift to the man who died in the Tumu Fort on the Mid-Autumn Festival in the [-]th year of Zhengtong. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty burned a stick of incense.

After the three sticks of incense were completely burned out, Xing'an opened the window to ventilate, and then turned the spirit card over again.

"Even if you don't start from scratch, there are still many difficulties." Zhu Qiyu sat in the imperial study and began to write again, revising his own drawings. A steam engine model that failed in trial production.

The hardest part of a steam engine is about the cylinder piston.

The simplest single-acting piston is the Thomas Newcomen steam engine.

Pour steam into the cylinder, the steam pushes the piston up, and then injects water into the cylinder to make the steam liquefy quickly to form a vacuum, and the piston slides down and reciprocates due to the atmospheric pressure.

To achieve this, you need to open the throttle valve, close the throttle valve, open the condenser valve to inject water, close the condenser valve, open the water valve to drain water, and open the throttle valve again. One such horizontal bar piston needs at least three to five personal operation.

While consuming a huge amount of coal, the efficiency is extremely low. Within 1 minute, it can only reciprocate twelve times. While the speed is uncontrollable, it cannot work for a long time. It needs to be continuously sprinkled for cooling to ensure air tightness. .

This kind of single-acting piston steam engine can only be used if there is a coal mine at home, otherwise the consumption of coal will be astronomical.

It eats more than people and dries slower than people. Only coal mine drainage can be used for this kind of thing, and no one can make it fast.

What Zhu Qiyu wants to do is to add a slide valve gas distribution device to the single-acting piston steam engine, inject steam into the head to push the piston, and the connecting rod drives the slide valve gas distribution device, and then inject steam from the tail to push the piston, so that From steam single action to steam double action.

From the single-acting piston to the double-acting piston, a flying ball centrifugal governor needs to be added. The faster the flywheel rotates, the faster the flying ball rotates, and the less air intake, the slower the flywheel rotates, the slower the flying ball rotates, and the air intake more.

The purpose of this flying ball centrifugal governor is to maintain the rotation speed of the flywheel within a stable range before it can output normally.

Theory belongs to theory, and practice is practice. In the process of practice, the engineering problems that Zhu Qiyu encountered, if written down, would be too numerous to write down.

Zhu Qiyu's landing of the steam engine only reached the single-acting piston, not even the double-acting piston.

For Daming, lubrication is not a problem, this is an archaeological research.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty and those poor scholars dug out the book "Natural History" from the pile of old papers: Take the container, it starts to yellow and then turns black, like gelatin, burns very brightly, and the gelatin No difference.Plaster carts and water pipes are very good, and local people call them stone paint.

For example, in Yumen, Gansu, there is a thing called "shiqi", which is extracted from petroleum and can be used for mechanical lubrication.

The first problem Zhu Qiyu encountered was the airtightness of the piston. Even if it is a single-acting piston, the inner wall of the cylinder will be drawn into deep grooves by the piston. Compression pressure drops and power is lost.

In layman's terms, it is pulling the tank.

In order to solve this problem, Zhu Qiyu worked hard to get it resolved.

"Your Majesty, what's the use of this thing? No one can make it fast, even if someone can do it fast, it's not as fast as animal power." Xing'an looked at the discarded drafts on the table, and said with a little distress.

Xing'an feels sorry for His Majesty. He was so busy in the capital that he finally came out for a vacation. Halfway through this vacation, he started to be busy again. Your Majesty is 30 years old. If you have the time, go to Goulan to listen to music, watch dances, and rest What a rest.
