Chapter 399: Northland (18)

The incandescent lamps in the big tent of the Chinese army set up were bright, and the right prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Li Fang, the governor of the Song Dynasty, Lu Mengzheng, the envoy of the Privy Council, Kou Zhun on the left, Lu Duan, the general Lu Chengyu, the prince Zhao Yuanzuo, Huyan Jin'er, and a cadre sat under the bright incandescent lamp and talked about the east and west, and everyone was full of praise and talked about the incandescent lights shining overhead.

"A thing shaped like a gourd can emit light, unless the gods are out of reach!" Li Fang is the editor-in-chief of the magic collection "Taiping Guangji", and he issued such a shocking cry; That means that in his mind, it is impossible for an incandescent lamp to emit bright light, and the problem is that the incandescent lamp emits bright light!

Zhao Yuanzuo heard Li Fang say this, and stood under the incandescent lamp with great interest and stared up; Surprised, he said, "It's strange that a gourd-shaped thing can emit a white thorn light, and it also illuminates the darkness of the night like day; I'm afraid I haven't seen such a strange thing since the Song Dynasty! ”

"I haven't seen it before!" Lu Mengzheng picked up the words: "I haven't seen it since the Song Dynasty, and I'm afraid I won't see it if you turn history forward for thousands of years!"

Kou Zhun laughed and said, "Lord Lu is ignorant! The Great Song Dynasty was the most advanced dynasty in history so far, and the three major inventions of gunpowder, compass, and letterpress printing were all made by our dynasty, which was difficult to do even if it was a strong Han and Tang Dynasty; You said that thousands of years forward, human beings may have just been born, and you are talking about making gourd-shaped things that can shine; Even cooking and making a fire must be difficult to do! ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Yuanzuo echoed Kou Zhun's words and said impassionedly: "I invented gunpowder, compass, and letterpress printing in the court, but I didn't come up with this gourd-like thing that can shine!" Master Kou is a little overconfident! ”

"Brother Chong, don't carry the bull's head on your back and don't admit that it's dirty!" Hu Yan Jin'er retorted to his words and said: "The shiny thing of the white thorn is obviously hanging above your head, but how can you say that it was not made by me!" It's not where I'm heading, which is it? ”

Hu Yanjin'er asked this well, the incandescent lamp and generator were brought by Liu Min; But Liu Min is also from the Song Dynasty! There is nothing wrong with Miss Huyan Jin'er's words!

Huyan Jin'er said, rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Yuanzola and sat him down and said, "Sensei is stupid to stand under the light, be careful that guy falls down and smashes your skull!" ”

Lu Chengyu laughed loudly, pointed his finger at Huyan Jin'er and said, "Little sister Huyan is serious!" Miss Yan Jindao said that the shining thing is called an electric light bulb, and even if it falls, it will not smash a person's braincase; Because it weighs as little as a goose feather! ”

Lu Chengyu paused as he spoke, and said excitedly: "The light bulb is driven by the rumbling guy outside to emit bright light, and the rumbling guy is called a generator; It was brought by the golden knife! ”

"So Liu ......" Hu Yan Jin'er said a Liu word, hurriedly paused and said: "So Sister Yan is really a fairy!" ”

Lu Chengyu glanced at her and smiled: "When is it, Little Sister Huyan still doesn't believe that Yan Jindao is an immortal!" ”

Lu Chengyu took advantage of the topic and said: "This generator and a stabbing thing were obtained from the Immortal Cave by the Yan Jin Knife!" ”

Lu Chengyu is also really an expert at making up stories, he made up in front of Song Taizong that Liu Min died in the chaos in the battle of Xiwazi in Zhouxi; Now it is said that the generator and the light bulb were obtained by Liu Min from the Immortal Cave.

Lu Chengyu, the fabricated immortal cave, has to believe it even if he doesn't believe it, because everyone can't find a second reason; The all-encompassing words of the gods and the cave of the gods will belie everything.

Wanjia ink face is not artemisia,

Dare to sing and mourn.

The heart is vast and even Guangyu,

Hear the thunder in the silence.

Where is Liu Min's Immortal Cave? Of course, Lu Chengyu didn't know, and Lu Chengyu didn't know that Liu Min was a medical doctor in later generations; Because of a car accident, he traveled to the Song Dynasty and became Liu Min, the stepdaughter of Liu Er in Baishulin Village, Huayang County, Yizhou; A male-to-female game takes place in an instant.

Liu Min's ability Lu Chengyu has already experienced it in the oak forest, and that is because of Pan Zhiwen, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, who killed a thousand knives; In order to fight for water, he led the family to fold the fire Renfu and the fire buffalo father and son in the cypress forest, and opened a scoop on their arms and heads.

At that time, Lu Chengyu was still at home in Liangzhou Prefecture, and saw Pan Zhichuang causing a catastrophe; Like a storm, Huo Renfu and Huo Buffalo father and son were brought to Mr. Yunmeng of the Three Buddha Hall for treatment.

Mr. Yunmeng calls himself a contemporary Hua Tuo, but when he saw the injuries of Huo Renfu and his son, he wiped his fingers; The two were immediately declared dead.

If Huo Renfu and Huo Buffalo father and son die, then Lu Chengyu's position as a judge of Liangzhou will also be lost.

Because the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion killed people, Lu Chengyu, as an official of the imperial court, also had to follow the stake to cut the officials for the people.

Then again, if Huo Renfu and Huo Buffalo father and son can be saved; Then Lu Chengyu's Liangzhou prefect will not be affected.

Mr. Yunmeng prescribed a dose of frightening soup to Lu Chengyu, and Lu Chengyu only felt that the sky was about to fall, and the end of the world was coming soon.

At the last moment, Liu Min made a move, and it didn't take much trouble to save the Huo family's father and son from the line of death, and there were no sequelae.

Lu Chengyu was grateful to Liu Min, but Liu Min was only seven or eight years old at that time; Lu Chengyu didn't believe that she did it, and Liu Min's explanation was: witchcraft.

Witchcraft Lu Chengyu naturally knows, but witchcraft will not be so effective!

Lu Chengyu had doubts about Liu Min, a seven or eight-year-old child could do such a big thing, but there was no one before or since; Unless she's a fairy.

Lu Chengyu quietly went to the cypress forest to investigate and secretly visit, and came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with Liu Min being Liu Er's adopted daughter.

Liu Er's name is Liu Dahua, known as Liu Er's Laizi; Liu Erlaizi became a family with Liu Min's mother under the mediation of Huo Renfu, but soon Liu Min's mother passed away; Liu Er continued the string again, and his name was Xiao Hongping.

Xiao Hongping's height of 1.49 meters scolded Liu Er, a stepdaughter, and abused her to the extreme, but Huo Renfu had been protecting Lu Chengyu and was relieved.

Lu Chengyu continued to serve as an official in the Liangzhou Prefecture after the expiration of the Ding Wei period, and was later promoted to the Liangzhou Prefect and Chengdu Prefect, and he never forgot Liu Min.

Lu Chengyu had a dream when he was serving as the prefect of Chengdu, and rushed to Qingshichuan Racecourse to meet Liu Min; Since then, it has been soaring and soaring; until he became the emperor's son-in-law......

The generator outside the tent of the Chinese army was still "rumbling", and the earthquake sounded, and Li Fang and several ministers of the imperial court talked indoors for a while, and then walked out of the tent and came to the generator to look around.

Lu Chengyu made up a beautiful lie again, saying that Liu Min had done a half-day method for epidemic prevention and treatment; Returning to the Immortal Cave, I specially made this generator, and I used it to use it.

Li Fang didn't understand how a boxy thing could "rumble" and vibrate, and the sound continued with the rumbling; The light bulb in the Chinese military tent was stabbed brightly, so everything is the masterpiece of the golden knife.

Li Fang was impressed by the little woman Yan Jindao, but the "rumbling" generator slowed down; At this time, Wang Mingli, who was guarding the side, immediately picked up a barrel of oil and poured it into the generator mailbox, and the generator rang again.

After Song Cheng was left behind by Liu Min in the Tianxiang Army, Liu Min asked him where there was oil in this place in the Northland.

When Song Cheng heard Liu Min say the word oil, he stared at Liu Min with his eyes and said: "I haven't heard of any oil in Northland and Kyushu, there are a lot of stone paint, stone grease water, fire oil, and fierce fire oil!" ”

Liu Min saw Song Cheng say the words "stone paint, stone grease water, fire oil, and fierce fire oil", and laughed loudly: "Grandpa Song, the stone paint, stone grease water, fire oil, and fierce fire oil you said are oil!" ”

The old man of Song Cheng was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "What our grandfather and grandson said the same thing!" This doesn't call the cat a mi! ”

Song Cheng raised his arm as he spoke, and said, "Although Lao Yu is a Baozheng, he is still quite familiar with things like oil oil; And coal, of course! ”

Song Cheng said and stretched his neck to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Northland and Kyushu have been a barren land far away from the emperor of the mountains since ancient times, but since the discovery of these two things, fire oil and coal; This place is so lively! ”

Liu Min saw that Song Cheng was speaking mysteriously, and couldn't help but ask: "What does Grandpa Song mean by this, why is it so lively after the discovery of fierce fire oil and coal in the north for ten weeks!" ”

Song Cheng fixed his mind and said: "Since the discovery of fierce fire oil and coal in the northern Kyushu, Song Ting doesn't seem to pay attention to it, but Liao Guo and Li Jiqian are very concerned!" ”

Liu Min glanced at Song Cheng and said thoughtfully, "How do you say this?" ”

Song Cheng said bluntly: "Since Li Jiqian rebelled against the Song Dynasty, he needed a large amount of military pay to support the army, and the money came from He; It is to get the fierce fire oil, coal and salt from some places in Kyushu in the north and sell them to the territory of Liao for money! ”

"There's such a thing!" Liu Min was stunned and said: "I only knew that the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State married the daughter of the clan to Li Jiqian, and also named this guy the king of Western Xia; I haven't heard that this guy sells oil, coal, and salt to Liao for money! ”

"It's a matter of lice on a bald head!" Song Cheng stood up and said impassionedly: "After Li Jiqian forcibly occupied a few oil wells, a few coal mines, and the salt mine in Yanzhou, he wanted to report to the Song court, but there were few competent officials on the border in the Song court; A competent Cao Guangshi was also booby-trapped by Li Jiqian! ”

Song Cheng said solemnly: "Let's make a long story short, girl, what do you say to let the old decay do; The old decay will not hesitate to go to the soup! ”

"Grandpa Song, you and Wang Mingli will immediately investigate several oil wells, coal mines, and salt mines around the security army, and report the investigation immediately!"

Song Cheng, Wang Mingli, Wang Mingkuan, Wang Shuiquan, Wang Ziying, and Wang Jixiang quickly rushed to several counties around the security army to investigate, and the situation was also reported to Liu Min.

After the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wu Emperor Wei Qing and Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, the imperial court established four counties in Hexi: Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, and the territory expanded by almost half.

The Xiongnu were not willing to accept their own defeat, and constantly encroached on the four counties of Hexi; When the Xiongnu army surrounded and attacked Jiuquan City, the local soldiers and civilians burned the "fire oil" point to destroy the enemy's siege tools; Repelled the enemy and defended the city of Jiuquan.

The use of oil in warfare greatly changed the course of warfare, and by the fifth generation, oil was more widely used in military affairs.

In the Later Liang (919 AD), there was a case of "fire oil" in an iron tank and launched to burn the enemy ship.

Zeng Gongliang's "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" of the Northern Song Dynasty has a very specific record of how to use oil as a raw material to make a powerful offensive weapon, "fierce fire oil".

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court set up an ordnance supervisor in the capital city of Bianliang to be in charge of the manufacture of military equipment; Among them is a workshop specializing in the processing of "fierce fire oil".

According to Kang Yuzhi's "Yesterday's Dream Record", during the Northern Song Dynasty, the northwest frontier "all dug the ground to make large pools, and the vertical and horizontal surpluses were used to store fierce fire oil"; It was used to defend against foreign rulers.

In addition, the use of petroleum product bitumen in gunpowder formulations in ancient times has begun; to control the rate at which gunpowder burns.

The first to give a scientific name to petroleum was the famous scientist Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty, who named the names of stone paint, stone grease water, fire oil, and fierce fire oil used in history in the encyclopedia "Mengxi Writings" as petroleum.

The Chinese people have a very long history of collecting oil, especially the technology of drilling oil and gas to extract oil and gas by drilling oil wells is also the earliest in the world.

Oil, also known as crude oil, is a brown-black flammable viscous liquid extracted from deep underground; It is mainly a mixture of various alkanes, naphthenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons.

It is a mixture formed by the long evolution of organisms in ancient oceans or lakes and is a fossil fuel like coal.

Petroleum is the blood of modern industry, and Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Writings" records the existence and exploitation process of oil:

There is a kind of oil in the territory of Yanzhou and Yanzhou, which is the grease water of Gaonu County in the past, and the grease water is oil.

Oil is produced at the water's edge, mixed with sand and springs, and flows out intermittently.

Local residents use pheasant tail feathers to dip it up and collect it into clay pots.

The oil was very much like varnish, and it burned like a torch, and it emitted a very thick smoke, and the tent turned black with the smoke.

This smoke can be used, and bituminous coal is used to make ink; The luster of the ink is like black lacquer, and even pine ink cannot compare to it.

So they made it in large quantities and marked it with the words 'Yanchuan Stone Liquid'.

This kind of ink will definitely be widely popular in the world in the future.

Shen Kuo was the first to use the word oil, he made ink from the smoke and dust produced by the combustion of oil, and he also wrote a poem "Yanzhou Poem", describing the grand scene of smoke and dust billowing from oil mining in Yanzhou:

It snows a lot on Erlang Mountain,

Xuanzhuo Qionglu learns from the Cypriots.

Exhausted the plain clothes and winter are not old,

The stone smoke is like Luoyang dust.

Song Cheng, Wang Mingli, Wang Mingkuan, Wang Shuiquan, Wang Ziying, and Wang Jixiang lived earlier than Shen Kuo, and they had long understood the exploitation and utilization of oil; That's commendable.

When the six people in Songcheng were ordered to investigate the oil and coal resources of several counties around the security army, each of them carried a clay pot on their backs; The crockpots were filled with gasoline and diesel.

Feed the generator with diesel, and the sound of "boom" is back to the top of the noise.

Liu Min, who went to visit the patient in Maoqigou, also returned to the Chinese army's tent at this time, accompanied by Hongyun and several people.

Lu Chengyu saw Liu Min rushing back from the leech ditch, and hurriedly walked up to Li Fang and said: "Lord Ruling Zai, the four-pronged plan mentioned by the last general was proposed by Yan Jindao, and when she comes back, can we discuss and see if this plan works......
