Throughout history, there has only been one way to deal with traditional inertia, and that is to start over.

Breaking away from the imperial court and opening a government in Hangzhou Mansion to build a mansion, it was not that Wu Zheng was expelled from the center of power in the capital, but that Wu Zheng took the initiative to evacuate.

Instead of fishing in a pool of muddy water, it is better to rebuild a clean "court" and unite people who share the same ideas and are willing to follow themselves to reshape the world together.

It is undeniable that Wu Zheng did it.

Plant the plane tree, and the phoenix will come naturally.

Just because Wu Zheng has done some of them, some are doing them, and some are arranging to do them.

Therefore, many people have come, Zhang Guowei, Zhang Huangyan, Xiong Rulin, etc. are the first batch, Zhang Mingzhen, Sun Jiaji, Fang Guoan, etc. are the second batch, Qian Sule, Liao Zhongping are the third batch, and now, Huang Daozhou has also come with his colleagues and protégés, behind them, there are countless people, who will come soon, Wu Zheng is confident.

These people do not follow because they stand up, but they stand up because they follow, which is a one-way causal relationship and cannot be reversed.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be lost.

Huang Daozhou understood that Wu Zheng's words were not all to persuade him, but to alert himself from the side.

This is the philosophy of Wu Zheng's administration.

Wu Zheng was telling him what it means to go with the flow, what it means to be natural, and what it means to make people's hearts unstoppable.

Huang Daozhou was staring at Wu Zheng, his heart was shocked, he was over the age of six, and he had seen countless people with a pair of eyes, but how could this young man who had just reached the crown in front of him come to such a deep city?

In the year of the weak crown, he was in a high position, not relying on his ancestors, but stepping up from the bottom step by step.

Although heroes are born in troubled times, they can have such an impressive resume, but they are not arrogant or impatient, which is rare in ancient times.

Persuade and recruit a person, or know it with reason, move it with affection, induce it with profit, and say it as a name.

But the best way is to collide with each other.

Smash it and shape it again.

Huang Daozhou got up "Huo", bent his knees, stretched out his arms, and landed on the ground with his head, and bowed to the ground: "From today on, Huang Daozhou is willing to serve the prince as the lord and be driven by the Lord." ”

Wu Zheng smiled, got up and said, "Mr. is serious, it is my blessing to be able to get Mr. to help." Originally, I really wanted to keep Mr. as the right political envoy in the General's Mansion and govern the Six Mansions with Xiong Rulin. But when I thought of it, in the Yixing court, there were traitors and bewitchers, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, so I could only recommend Mr. to the court, so that having Mr. in charge of the cabinet would make me feel at ease. ”

Huang Daozhou said: "What does the prince want the old minister to do?" ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "No need." Nothing has to be done for me. Mr. took what he learned in his life to take the helm for the Yixing Dynasty. Today's emperor is young and vigorous, although he has ambitions, but three years of invisibility has made his heart no longer clean, and he is obsessed with the imperial art he has learned since childhood, with conspiracy and balance, and wants to play his subordinates in the palm of his hand, but how could he have thought that everyone in the court, who is not better at this art than him? Mr. is going, to govern the court as the first priority, the court is stable, then I have no worries, in this way, Mr. has made a great contribution. ”

Huang Daozhou responded: "The old minister understands, and the old minister remembers." ”

……。

The next day, Wu Zheng took Qi Daokun and his entourage to the Songjiang Military Workshop.

The new square has not been built, and Wu Zheng plans to let Qi Daokun and others complete the trial production of firearms samples here.

And the purpose of Wu Zheng's personal visit is by no means all.

At this time, after two years of development, the military workshop had nearly 1,000 craftsmen.

After ordering the superintendent Chen Shoujie to gather the top 100 craftsmen.

Wu fought for a drawing.

This was Wu Zheng's decision after repeated considerations, that is, to invent a simple steam device a hundred years in advance.

Of course, this is not the final version that was made overnight.

It is just a stamping device driven by steam and driven up and down by levers, which is simple and clear, and the crankshaft, lever and steam tank do not have too complex structure.

Having said that, it's really too complicated, and Wu Zheng won't be able to draw it for a while.

But such a simple device with only a dozen components is enough to achieve Wu Zheng's purpose - forging.

Although as early as the Tang and Song dynasties, there have been 100 forged steel and various smelting methods, but so far, the mainstream is still low-temperature manual forging, using pig iron with high carbon content and wrought iron with low carbon content to forge together, so as to obtain steel. This method was recorded in Shen Tuo's Mengxi Writing in the Northern Song Dynasty, which has always been imitated and never surpassed.

Today, Wu Zheng intends to surpass.

The yield of steel depends on two major factors, the material and the way it is processed.

Forging by hand greatly limits the output of steel.

A skilled craftsman needs at least five years of apprenticeship, which is a threshold.

Wu Zheng hoped to replace manual forging with steam stamping and forging, so as to improve the quality and yield of steel, and thus improve the toughness of the barrel and bayonet.

At present, the quality of steel in the south of the Yangtze River is actually far inferior to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, since the end of the Apocalypse Chongzhen last years, most of the technology has already stopped updating and research and development, no money and no interest, so that the Ming Dynasty gnawed at least 30 years of old capital, but it is these 30 years, so that the manufacturing technology of the Manchu Qing Dynasty surpassed the Ming Dynasty, so that the range of the Ming army's artillery is nearly a quarter of the range of the Qing army's artillery.

Defeating the Qing army and driving the Manchus back to Guanwai is only a primary goal, and the real strength and return the world to the prosperity of the Han nationality is the ultimate goal of Wu Zheng's heart.

Therefore, Wu Zheng did not want to guide the development of new science and technology too much, and pulling out the seedlings to help them grow, which is often counterproductive.

For example, it is like there is no world of scholars among these hundred people who can advocate the equality of all people, abolish the monarch and establish a republic, this is the hanging of the birthday star, and the world is not chaotic enough.

The craftsmen led by Chen Shoujie were not too surprised when they saw this drawing, because this principle has been known for thousands of years, boiling water, pushing the lid of the pot.

The connection between the crankshaft and the lever allows them to deeply inspire, the conduction of force, and the change of direction, but this is not a new thing, as early as the Han and Tang Dynasties, this kind of structure has appeared, such as wooden oxen and flowing horses, Zhuge crossbows and so on.

But when it is really combined, it becomes a device that can be used exclusively, which makes the craftsmen impressed.

Yes, Chinese civilization, how many revolutions have it missed.

The invention of black powder, after thousands of years, has become the main material of firecrackers and fireworks, and the West has thus interpreted the thermal weapon to the extreme, until two hundred years later, the emergence of thunder mercury and yellow powder, was really replaced, but until later generations, black powder as a propellant, still in different fields, occupy a place.

Wu Zheng ordered that according to the structure on the drawings, the components were manufactured on the spot, of course, it was made of wooden structure.
