From the twenty-fifth year of Chongzhen to the twenty-sixth year of Chongzhen, it was an extremely sad year for the green skins of the Ming Dynasty.

The bigwigs with names and surnames in various places are counted as one, and they are basically arrested, and those who are waiting to be beheaded are relatively lucky, and those who are forced to do so can only wait to be thrown into the "labor camps" as coolies.

The people of Daming don't care much about this, except for those who have been arrested in the family, the rest of the people are almost all applauding.

The large-scale crackdown on Qingpi was only discussed for a few days, and the attention of the people of the Ming Dynasty shifted from Qingpi to the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

For the people of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen's performance after ascending the throne is undoubtedly extremely amazing, and Emperor Chongzhen is now in his forties and has been on the throne for more than 25 years.

If judged by the time of the reign of other emperors in history, Emperor Chongzhen can probably be the emperor for about thirty years, and then whether it is energy or longevity, I am afraid that Emperor Chongzhen will not be allowed to continue to stay on the throne.

Then, the performance of the next emperor, that is, the crown prince, has become a matter of great concern to everyone, after all, it is closely related to their own interests, especially the reputation of the crown prince Zhu Cihong......

There is no impermeable wall in the world, several older sons in Emperor Chongzhen's family, the eldest Zhu Cixie and the crown prince Zhu Cihong and the third prince Zhu Ciyi, the three of them used to sneak out of the palace, crossed the ocean to expand the territory, and came back to be hung up by Emperor Chongzhen.

For these three princes who always change the law to go out of the palace or do things, the people and the court bigwigs unanimously said, dragons give birth to dragons, Emperor Chongzhen can still expect the lower beam to not be crooked?

The problem is that as a prince, you can waste as much as you want, once this not so reliable prince becomes the crown prince, the meaning in it is completely different.

There are not a few things about Lao Tzu's heroes and bastards, Emperor Chongzhen is awesome in governing the world, and he is also awesome in fighting, and his merits are not inferior to which emperor, but what is the level of his old man's teaching of his son, who knows?

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong's performance was completely in line with the performance of a prince, and even exceeded many people's expectations.

When it is time to be ruthless, Zhu Cihong will never be weak - the "heroes" of the Ming Dynasty are not no one who wants to resist, and it is unrealistic to expect everyone to be honest and obedient, especially in Shandong since ancient times.

Zhu Cihong didn't hesitate, and took the prince Liu, who was the main body of the orphan army of the year, to break through these green skins who occupied the mountains as kings, and then cut off their heads, but they didn't build a view of Beijing.

Zhu Cihong is also very kind.

There are many families who have a son who is still a green-skinned old man, and was sent to a nursing home by Zhu Cihong, at least the future birth, old age, sickness and death will be worried by the Ming government, so as not to end up with a miserable ending that no one cares about after death.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had been paying attention to Zhu Cihong's actions, also expressed his satisfaction.

When you should be ruthless, you can be ruthless, and you can love the people when you should love the people, such a crown prince is undoubtedly in line with Emperor Chongzhen's psychological expectations.

As for the future, let's take a look at it slowly, anyway, there is still more time, so there is no need to worry.

After putting aside the matter of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, Emperor Chongzhen's main target was placed on the Royal Academy.

Twenty-five years is not a long time, and it can't even turn up a small wave in the long river of history.

However, twenty-five years is not short, after all, it is a generation, enough for a croaking baby to grow into an adult strong man.

What kind of changes can 25 years bring about in the development of science and technology? Especially when the demographic dividend of the Ming Dynasty initially appeared.

The area of the Royal Academy has obviously expanded a lot, even the main entrance has been enlarged several times, the number of sergeants patrolling has been several times greater than at the beginning, and the number of guards stationed there are also several more.

Obviously, Shaofu, a monster dedicated to serving the royal family, is sparing no effort to catalyze the Royal Academy, in order to make the Royal Academy produce more inventions and bring more benefits to the royal family.

Song Yingxing is also old.

The first president of the Royal Academy, Xu Guangqi, has died, the second dean Mo Hua has also died of old age, and he stood in the laboratory of the Royal Academy until his death, and the third dean is Song Yingxing, who is relatively young.

It is said that Wu Dalang plays with night owls, what kind of people play with what kind of birds, Xu Guangqi and Mo Hua, and Song Yingxing can be valued by Emperor Chongzhen, and they have a certain relationship with these three guys not being good birds.

Back then, Matteo Ricci set foot in the mysterious Orient described by Marco Polo with a lot of enthusiasm, intending to spread the glory of the Lord here.

At the beginning, Comrade Matteo Ricci's plan was very good, and he went directly to the upper echelons, as long as the upper officials of the Ming Empire were leveled, with their help, wouldn't it be as simple as sprinkling water?

However, to Ricci's great disappointment, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were all Confucians, all of them were literate people, and they were not as foolish as European barbarians.

In other words, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are red lotus, white lotus root, green lotus leaves, the three religions were originally one family, when it comes to fooling people, these officials in the Ming Dynasty may be more professional than Matteo Ricci, Matteo Ricci came up to talk about Ye Dong and Hua Zong's things, can people be interested?

Besides, what are the officials of the Ming Dynasty best at? Playing tricks, shameless, the emperor can make them scold not to go to court and play with them?

It can only be said that Matteo Ricci is still too young, too simple, and it is a matter of course that he is regarded by Daming's officials as having a brain disease.

Since it is impossible to preach directly, Matteo Ricci has changed his way of playing - let's talk about mathematics and astronomy, I don't believe you still don't take the bait!

At that time, there were really a lot of people in the Ming Dynasty who took the bait, and a large group of people ran to follow Matteo Ricci to learn about mathematics and astronomy - but as soon as Matteo Ricci talked about missionary things, these goods began to play haha: Ah, okay, okay, tell me how Copernicus counted?

Matteo Ricci sulked secretly as he slowly squeezed out the scientific toothpaste in his stomach.

At this time, Xu Guangqi, a good friend, made his debut!

This little red guy from Shanghai is actually the most unkind thing: "Catholics, I have all believed in religion, can you translate this "Geometric Original" from Greece?" ”

Of course, Matteo Ricci disagreed, and then Lao Xu stopped talking to him about anything, and simply turned his head to learn the barbarian language by himself, and then found a large number of younger brothers to come over and translate, including Song Yingxing, a street boy.

Later, after Matteo Ricci hung up, the Holy See planned to bury Matteo Ricci, and Xu Guangqi strongly supported it at that time, and then asked the Holy See to send someone to help him translate the "Tessie Water Law".

At that time, the missionaries who came to bury Leigh were stunned - big brother, do you know what we do?

Why do we have to rely on preaching to enslave the whole world, not the great good people who came to spread technology, can you still be shameless to this point?

Xu Guangqi was very dissatisfied, and after scolding your uncle, he didn't mention anything about religious or non-religious things, just when Emperor Chongzhen sent someone to find him, and then Xu Guangqi plunged into the royal academy and pounced.

In terms of the code of conduct, Mo Hua is obviously not much stronger than Xu Guangqi.

Until the day he hung up, Mo Hua knew that he was still sticking to the set of standards of the Mo family and Ai Fei.

As for sending people to the Wa Kingdom to assassinate and retaliate or something, it has obviously been selectively forgotten by Mo Hua, or rather, the Mo family's standard of love and non-attack is for the Ming people.

And the Japanese slaves are not Ming people, and they are obviously out of the category of people, so what to tell them about love and non-aggression, isn't it a waste of time and energy?

The current dean Song Yingxing is not a good thing, compared with the previous two deans, Song Yingxing is not much worse - when he sold Jinni Pavilion and the 7,000 Western Books of Jinni Pavilion, Song Yingxing didn't even have the slightest pressure.

As for the weapons of mass murder that were made under the auspices of these three deans, and the people who died under those weapons of mass murder, they were obviously not in the scope of consideration of the three of them.

If you are not a Ming person, you are not qualified to talk about human rights! Want to talk? Yes, let's talk about Daming's household registration!

Facing the sudden arrival of Emperor Chongzhen, the third dean Song Yingxing was obviously not too surprised - as long as this master is in the capital, he will run to the Royal Academy if he has nothing to do, and he will not be surprised for a long time, if he doesn't come for a few months, it will be a strange thing!

After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't been to the Royal Academy for a year, right?" ”

Song Yingxing bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, it's indeed been a year. As the so-called three days of Shibei, when it is impressive, His Majesty has not been to the Royal Academy for a year, and there must be many things that will interest His Majesty. ”

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Song Aiqing knows what I will be interested in?" ”

Song Yingxing smiled and said, "Your Majesty is naturally interested in something that can make Da Ming more prosperous?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Song Aiqing is right, but it's a pity that there are no prizes." ”

Song Yingxing just smiled and said nothing, leading Emperor Chongzhen towards a courtyard near the mountain.

Emperor Chongzhen looked back and forth and asked, "I remember, there was no such courtyard before, right?" ”

Song Yingxing said: "Yes, before Your Majesty went to sea, the construction of this courtyard had not yet begun. Later, in order to keep it secret and better ensure safety, such a yard was specially built. ”

Saying that it is a courtyard, in fact, it is not just a small courtyard, it is more accurate to say that it is a small building complex.

After walking to a courtyard closest to the mountain, Song Yingxing led Emperor Chongzhen into the house.

In the middle of the room, there was a table with a gun on it, and Emperor Chongzhen couldn't take his eyes off it the first time he saw it.

This is fundamentally different from the current standard firecracker in the Ming Dynasty!

After casually picking up the gun on the table and putting it on his shoulder to make an aiming gesture, Emperor Chongzhen put the gun down again, and said to Song Yingxing with a smile: "Okay, there is a prize this time!" ”

Song Yingxing didn't seem to be surprised at all when he saw Emperor Chongzhen, so he simply took out a few Huang Chengcheng bullets from his pocket, waved his palm and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

The newly improved muskets and bullets are no longer afraid of rain, and they are very little affected by the weather except for pouring rain or extremely hot and cold weather. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's smiling eyes were almost invisible: "Continue to research, and strive to overcome all weather troubles, and it is best if heavy rain or snow is not affected!" ”

After Song Yingxing bowed down, he led Emperor Chongzhen to another courtyard: "Thanks to the invention of the steam engine, now my Ming artillery is also further developing, and the power has made great progress compared to before. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, looking at the slender cannon in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but be a little intoxicated.

This is the real artillery, compared to the cannons in front of you, those old cannons are simply children's toys!

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen asked: "The cost of these guns, bullets, artillery, and shells must not be cheap, right?" ”

Song Yingxing's old face turned red, and he said curtly: "It's a little more expensive than before." The material requirements for these muskets and artillery are much higher than before, and even the requirements for the manufacture of shells are much higher. ”

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but snort and said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as being a little more expensive, right?" ”

Twisting up the bullet that he had just received from Song Yingxing, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but speak: "This thing is pure copper?" ”

Not only is it a little more expensive, even if Emperor Chongzhen is a little white, when he sees the bullets used in the musket, he knows that this thing is not cheap.

Brass, this thing used to be used for money - even if it was in the copper plate, it was mixed with other things, and the ghost knows if there were other things mixed in the shells of the fire guns and bullets that Song Yingxing made them?

If it's pure copper, then the price is even higher!

Song Yingxing hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Your Majesty, because lead is poisonous, it is mixed with lead, and it is definitely not pure copper!" Plus, mixed some tin into it! ”

……

This bad old man isn't a good thing either! Because lead is poisonous, that's why you mixed it with lead? If you can get some radioactive material, you're going to have to mix some uranium-235 into it?

In the blink of an eye, Emperor Chongzhen was a little relieved.

Anyway, these things are paid for by the barbarians in the end, what are you doing with those idle minds now?

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's face was a little cloudy, Song Yingxing's heart couldn't help but feel a little weak, so he simply bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you look at the electricity you said before?" ”
