Chapter 91: Jurchen Firearms Bureau
After Zhu Shun finished eating the rice porridge, he turned around and was about to close the firewood door, and went back to continue his research on the Newkemen steam engine.
Top Gun's Song Yingjing is back.
Song Yingjing touched her nose and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhu is like this, I want to ask Mr. Zhu to help build a batch of blast furnace water towers." ”
"With the blast furnace water tower, plus the three aspects of lime sprinkling, public toilets, and changing clothes, we can control the epidemic that the world talks about discoloration."
"Otherwise, tens of thousands of people will get together, and as long as one is infected with the plague, the others will soon be infected."
The blast furnace water tower does not have much technical content, and it is very simple to imitate it, Zhu Shun understood in his heart what Song Yingjing meant when he said this.
To put it bluntly, it is respecting Zhu Shun's intellectual property rights, not to mention that there is no technical content, even if there is, it cannot be hidden at such a critical moment: "Shihui knows how to build a blast furnace water tower, and the fourth brother can find Shihui." ”
Song Yingjing breathed a sigh of relief, solemnly bowed her hand, and left here.
Zhu Shun waited for a cup of tea at the door, and saw that there was no one on the plain, and he should not come back.
Closing the wooden door, he took a kettle and began to do experiments to study the relationship between the temperature and volume of the steam in the Newcomen steam engine.
Liaodong, Shenyang City.
Huang Taiji was dressed in military uniform, and stood in a small pavilion outside the city with a few Belle Bezi, personally welcoming the arrival of a person.
After the half-pillar of incense, a carriage stopped not far away, and from the carriage stepped a Europa, dressed in a purple Mass robe with a silver cross on his chest.
The people of Europa were excited to see Huang Taiji greet them in person, having stayed in the Far East for so many years, they knew very well what it meant to go out of the city for ten miles to greet them.
When Huang Taiji saw this person coming, the excitement in his heart was even worse than that of the Europa, but he didn't let the excitement in his heart show a trace of it, and said with his face as usual: "Welcome Mr. John Tang." ”
The Europa, dressed in a purple Mass robe, was none other than John Tong, the leader of the West.
To be able to meet another king of the Far East today, John Tang felt that everything was good, but it was a little regrettable.
On this important day, John Tong originally wanted to wear a white Mass robe to represent the victory of faith.
He hoped that the mission, which was not very smooth in the Ming Dynasty, would be able to spread the gospel of the Lord quickly in the Jurchens, just like the meaning of the white Mass robe, the triumph of faith.
It's a pity that in the Far East, white is not a good color, it represents wearing linen and filial piety, and can only be replaced with a noble purple in the eyes of Far Easterners.
Before Tang Ruowang came over, he had already thought about how to maintain his relationship with the Jurchens, and knelt down directly in accordance with the etiquette of meeting the Ming Emperor: "Tang Ruowang, meet the Houjin Emperor." ”
Huang Taiji has not yet founded a country, but the Great Khan of the Jurchen tribe shouted an honorific title that only the lord of the world can have, obviously to flatter Huang Taiji.
Tang Ruowang knelt down again and shouted the emperor again, everything was done very well, but there was one detail that went wrong.
The Jurchens claimed to be Dajin, and the Later Jin was just a contemptuous name for the Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Taiji was obviously a little uncomfortable when he heard the piercing Houjin, but he also didn't show it, and said with a normal face: "Mr. Tang Ruowang, let's go to the city." ”
Tang Ruowang drew a cross on his chest and did not continue walking: "Respected Emperor Houjin, you forgot one thing." ”
Huang Taiji invited John Tang to come over, just for one thing, to build a heavy army.
The heavy army needed a large number of bird guns and artillery, and there were many Han craftsmen captured by the Jurchens, but there was a lack of firearms like Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua.
asked Jin Shang to pass on a message to Tang Ruowang, and made a heavy promise to hire Tang Ruowang as Zhang Jing of the Jurchen Firearms Bureau.
One of the promises was to select one of the eight Jurchen banner masters to accept the baptism of John Tong.
Huang Taiji did not speak.
Hauge, the owner of the Yellow Flag, pouted his lips and walked out, waved his hand, and asked a Bao Yi to bring a red sandalwood Taishi chair, on which the big horse golden knife sits.
Baptism, for John Tong, is an extremely solemn thing for these Europaans, and when he saw Hauge like this, his face deliberately showed displeasure.
Haoge glanced at him obliquely, and scolded and said, "Ma, I'll have to go hunting later." ”
Tang Ruowang glanced at Huang Taiji and saw that he was still standing there without saying a word, so he could only baptize Haoge.
At the end of the baptism, John Tang took out a noble cross sword, for which he spent a lot of money.
He was about to utter a series of touching words, and then let Hauge see the sharpness of the noble cross sword, so that he could draw in the relationship with this banner owner.
Who knows, Hauge casually took the noble cross sword, threw it to Bao Yi casually, and disappeared with the knife on his shoulder.
By the time Hauge reappeared, he was already in a mansion in Shenyang City, and he hadn't gone out hunting.
Haoge looked at Fan Wencheng, who was sitting in the pine forest, holding a white cat and playing chess, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Old Fan, the matter is done, you see ........"
Fan Wencheng took out a bag of silver and threw it over.
Haoge took the silver bag, took out a silver ingot and bit it with his teeth, confirmed that it was true, and the smile on his face became stronger: "Come on, Lao Fan, there will be such good things in the future, don't forget the master." ”
"Amma, I'll turn it up first."
Huang Taiji listened to the accent that his eldest son didn't know where he learned it, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Fan Wencheng couldn't help laughing, stroked the white cat and said, "The establishment of the Firearms Bureau and the Heavy Army is one of the few happy events this year. ”
"There is one more happy event, I don't know if the Great Khan is willing to hear it."
Huang Taiji put down the chess pieces in his hand and looked like he was willing to hear the details.
Fan Wencheng twisted up a chess piece and hung it in the middle of the chessboard: "At most, in a month, an unprecedented plague will break out in the Northern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"And it's an uncontrollable plague, and the entire Northern Zhili will die more than a million Han people, to say the least."
"Actually, the most terrible thing about the plague is not how toxic it is, when it comes to toxicity, the plague is not as good as arsenic."
"The reason why a plague is called a plague is that it cannot be prevented or controlled, and as long as one person gets the plague, it will soon become a village, a county, a state capital, or even a province."
"As long as someone researches a way to control the plague and prevent the plague, the plague will not be so terrible, at most a few people from a few villages will die, and it is impossible to affect the entire Beizhili."
"Smack!"
Fan Wencheng dropped the chess piece in high spirits, landed in Tianyuan's position, and said with a smile: "It's a pity." ”
"No one in this world knows how to control the plague, and the only ones who can control the plague should be the gods."
Huang Taiji nodded approvingly.
