If Zhang Han wants to go to Europe to launch a revolution, he must also go through the education of patriotism in the Ming Dynasty, and he will not let him go when his thinking is not fixed.

Therefore, the next discussion was none of his business, and let him sit in on the discussions of the heads of various ministries of the imperial court on the various issues that had arisen in the current social structure of the Ming Dynasty.

A large number of people in a family will have all kinds of problems, let alone a huge empire.

The current society of the Ming Dynasty is very stable, and now there is the adjustment of Nanyang, Nanzhou, Dongzhou, Xizhou, and Beidi, and the domestic social contradictions are not worth mentioning.

But it doesn't mean that Daming doesn't have any problems, on the contrary, there are many small problems.

However, these problems have not been paid attention to in the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty.

The common people of the East, as long as they have a bite to eat, will not think of rebellion. In today's era when the Ming economy is taking off and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, some small problems cannot affect the overall situation.

However, for the rulers of the imperial court, all issues had to be taken seriously, which is why there was a regular meeting of the parliament once every ten years to study the solutions to various problems and to discuss legislation.

Zhu Zhanji asked the ministers today to discuss the shortcomings of the Ming social structure, and everyone was able to say a lot, and many of them had their own opinions and solutions.

In this process, Zhang Han realized that he had considered too few problems and was too one-sided.

As for the revision of the Daming Law, this is a major event, and Zhu Zhanji only proposed a beginning today, and the ministers need to go through many discussions before they can finally come up with a plan.

The law of the Ming Dynasty is the basic constitution of the Ming Dynasty, but in the past, it only focused on the authority of the ruler and did not put people first.

Now, Zhu Zhanji has proposed that people are the people, the country is the priority, and the authority of the Ming Law is higher than the privileges of the ordinary royal family, which is tantamount to self-limitation.

Therefore, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, without careful consideration, they will never dare to make rash suggestions.

The noon court was held until noon, and this kind of retreat discussion naturally did not have a clear result.

But even so, Zhang Han still feels that he has gained a lot, and this kind of analysis of the entire structure and various aspects of society by the elite of a country is an area that he has never been exposed to as a young man before.

The experience of these people is very useful to him.

Of course, how much he can learn is actually not within the scope of Zhu Zhanji's consideration.

For Zhu Zhanji now, even the problems in Europe are just small things, but the telephone and wireless telegraphy are the real big things.

From March to September, the telephone had been transformed into a monolithic telephone after his guidance with Blue Smoke. Although the size of the current telephone is still not small, it has already had the prototype of the telephone of later generations.

With current technology, program-controlled phones are not possible, but the development of contact phones is not difficult.

During the period when Ma Dian's research on telephone contact systems, Lan Yan asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to train a group of craftsmen's daughters to become operators.

Anyone who picks up the phone, dialing is not the contact line of the other party, the current line, direct dialing, will only lead to a string of wires.

Therefore, the current telephone call needs a relay center, and each phone can go directly to the transit center, and then connect with the other party's line through the operator.

By September, a transit center had been set up in the palace, and all the major yamen, including the homes of some key officials, had begun to install lines and telephones in turn.

This was just the beginning, and when the telephone reached every city, the rule of the empire would be unbreakable.

Because every emperor can directly convey orders to the grassroots level, it is impossible for anyone to deceive the upper and lower levels, where there is a disaster, where there is a rebellion, the palace can get the news as soon as possible.

However, just installing a telephone line is a time-consuming and laborious task. No matter how rich the Ming court was, it also needed manpower and material resources to produce telephone lines, erect lines, establish exchange centers, and train enough personnel.

According to Zhu Zhanji's estimates, it would take at least five years to get telephone lines to several major corners of the empire, and at least ten years to popularize telephones.

And the role of the wireless telegraph is not weaker than the telephone, because Daming is not a continental country, but a global country.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty occupies more than half of the world, and the Americas, Australia, southern Africa, and Southeast Asia in later generations are the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Telephones and telephones are related to the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, and are naturally more important than a Europe that is not a threat.

However, compared with the development of telephones, the electromagnetic resonance response system of the infinite telegraph has become a difficulty.

In his previous life in Africa, when Zhu Zhanji was studying the principle of walkie-talkie, he learned about the configuration of wireless receiving devices.

The basic facts of the radio telegraph transceiver communication system are composed of some small parts such as resistors, diodes, buzzers and battery boxes.

Even if Zhu Zhanji knew these things and gave Ma Electric ideas, it still took countless tests to build the diode.

Ma Electric invented the capacitor when he was a teenager, and the working principle of the capacitor and the resistor is just the opposite, which is not a problem for him.

However, the research and development of vacuum diodes, which took dozens of people and several months of testing, is still progressing slowly.

Because Zhu Zhanji only understands that the diode is a one-way current that passes through and plays a role in rectification, but he doesn't know anything about the working principle or anything.

Without a clear research direction, technicians can only experiment little by little, and then try to achieve the purpose of wireless reception of these devices.

Such a test from the R & D test of accessories to the overall function test, the number of times it needs to go through may be thousands, tens of thousands of times, and it is not in a hurry.

From wired to wireless, it's not just about reducing wires, it's about making the leap from the entire industrial age.

And if this problem is solved, the rule of the Ming Dynasty will be correspondingly much more stable.

Compared with the stability of the Ming Dynasty, Europe is not even a ringworm of the skin now, at most it can only be regarded as a potential threat.

And this potential threat is now overwhelmed and on the verge of collapse.

The far west of Middle-earth. Nizhny Novgorod.

Founded 200 years ago, this city has always been the most important trading center on the border between Asia and Europe. Seventy years ago, it was annexed by Muscovy, and Nizhny Novgorod became an important cultural center where East meets West.

The Novgorodians of the Slavic race have always been the vanguard of the expansion of the Slavs to the East.

Although the entire area still belongs to the Golden Horde, the White Horde has taken over the power of the White Horde, both the Mongols and the Persians, who are subject to the force of the Slavs.

However, forty years ago, the power of the Ming Dynasty crossed the Ural Mountains, and life in Nizhny Novgorod became more and more difficult.

The Tatars of Kazan, the Bashkirs of the southeast, the Uzbeks of the south, all submitted to the rule of the Ming dynasty and no longer allowed the Slavs to do whatever they wanted, as before.

Therefore, even though the Novgorodians knew that the power of the Ming Dynasty was extremely strong, they had always been at the forefront of resisting the three cities of Tanglin.

However, their strength was too weak, and twenty years ago, Lin San led an army of 50,000 people, and directly used the advantage of muskets to occupy their capital.

After learning steelmaking technology and imitating muskets in Europe, they immediately began a counteroffensive.

Relying only on the strength of the Muscovy, they did not have the ability to confront the three cities of Tanglin, and at this time, a large area of iron ore was discovered in the Donetsk area of the Principality of Kiev.

Europe is a mineral-deficient continent, and in addition to a small amount of coal and iron, all kinds of other metals are very scarce.

However, the coal and iron in Europe were only in the hands of a few large countries, and in most countries, even the iron tools and farm tools used by serfs to cultivate the land were luxury goods.

A large iron mine that stretched for hundreds of miles, directly touching the G-spot of Lithuania, Poland, the Holy Roman Empire.

Except for Hungary, a people who have been expelled from the East to the West, they have always considered themselves Orientals, and they are different from Westerners in that their surnames come first and their first names come last, which is unique among Westerners.

They had always been a strong European shield when resisting the Ottoman Empire, but in the face of the Ming Dynasty, they retreated.

What's more, the Hungarian plain they occupy is not only the breadbasket of Europe, but also the mines of Romania.

Without Hungary, the coalition army still cobbled together nearly half a million troops, and they marched all the way east, and with the advantage of numbers, they finally recaptured the Donetsk region, which originally belonged to the principality of Kiev, and occupied the world's largest iron mine that stretched for hundreds of miles.

And in the north, they also concentrated superior forces, recaptured Nizhny Novgorod, and even fought all the way to the banks of the Volga, occupying large pastures.

But the good times didn't last long, and no one could believe that Daming actually had a more powerful weapon, this kind of repeating gun that could shoot continuously and had a range three times that of the original musket, which became a nightmare for the coalition army.

Nearly 500,000 people, facing less than 70,000 people, they were completely defeated, and there was no chance to fight back at all.

The ranks of the coalition army were completely disabled, and a large number of soldiers fled in a hurry, and the weapons in their hands could not be used at all in the face of the Ming army, but they were very effective in the face of their own people.

Those Poles, Lithuanians, Germans will not care whether the people of Moscow, Kiev live or die.

Having lost their baggage, they turned from protectors to marauders, and Muscovy and Kiev, wherever there were remnants of the army, became hell on earth.

However, instead of chasing the enemy, she did not even cross the Volga to capture the city of Yaroslavl, which was already on the verge of collapse, but took the initiative to retreat to Nizhny Novgorod.

It's not because Tang Sai'er doesn't like the wealth ahead, it's just that she has too few troops in her hands.

Of the total strength of less than 70,000 troops, only half of them were elite, and the distance from Tanglin City to Nizhny Novgorod exceeded 2,000 li in a straight line.

Wanting to occupy millions of square kilometers of land with tens of thousands of people is simply not something she can do.

Rather than fortifying everywhere and being unable to defend it, it is better to shrink the forces and occupy only a few major strongholds.

At the end of September, the second batch of repeating guns transported by the imperial court arrived in Tanglin City.

After receiving this news, Tang Sayer himself was stationed in Nizhny Novgorod, but he asked Lin Hanlun and them to return to Tanglin City, receive these repeating guns, and retrain the new army.

This time, the training was carried out more quickly, because the soldiers of the joint operation, even if they did not get the repeating guns, they also saw the effect of the repeating guns.

After the whole army has embraced the new tactics, the remaining soldiers, with only a little training, can become a qualified soldier.

At the beginning of November, after two heavy snowfalls, Lin Hanlun led an army of 40,000 from the city of Kazan to Nizhny Novgorod.

With the approach of a full 70,000 troops, the people of Muscovy were panicked, and they already had the idea of moving the capital.

The 70,000 troops under his command were all equipped with repeating guns, which also made Tang Sai'er more ambitious.

She is 65 years old this year, and she still wants to take advantage of her physical ability to lay a bigger world for her children and grandchildren.

Now that her son has married a princess, she is also older, and she is not afraid that the royal family will taboo her.

She even thought about re-embarking on the old path of the former Mengyuan Empire, all the way to the heart of Europa.

As long as he makes meritorious contributions in a war and cripples the other party, he can not only make the marquis of the family become a duke, but also strive for peace for his descendants for at least one or two hundred years.

Moreover, the soldiers under his command have just experienced a big victory, and now they are all equipped with repeating guns, and their morale is high.

The only thing that worries her is that further west, there are more and more cities, and they now lack siege artillery, let alone the tools to transport it.

"Hanlun, grandma wants you and your mother to go to Yingtianfu again. You bring the gold and silver we have captured this time to your majesty, buy cars and artillery from him, and while grandma can still move, you can lay a big territory for our Lin family. ”

For this grandmother, Lin Hanlun admires and respects from the bottom of his heart. He knew the history of the Lin family very well, and knew that the Lin family had changed from an ordinary farmer to a marquis' mansion and the city lord of Tang Lin City, mainly due to her contributions.

His father was a well-kept man, and he was reassuring to let him guard the rear, but he never led the army into battle.

If the Lin family wants to go further, they still need to rely on themselves.

Now that winter has come, it is not convenient for large-scale operations. Taking advantage of this time to go to Yingtianfu, with himself and his mother coming forward, the emperor's grandfather must be able to support the Lin family's actions.

"Grandma, there are no good roads in the barbarian land, and cars are expensive and do not do much good. Sun Er meant that it would be better and less expensive to bring back a batch of rubber tires from Daming, put wheels on the guns, and then drag them on horses. ”

Tang Sai'er looked at his grandson with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You can already think about problems and be down-to-earth, which is very good." However, buying a car is not just for transporting baggage, we are afraid of defeat before the battle, and with a car, it is convenient to retreat even if the war situation is unfavorable. ”

Lin Hanlun looked at the western sky from afar, thinking of the majesty of the Mengyuan Empire more than two hundred years ago, and he couldn't help but be proud in his heart. "Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken! Grandma, our Lin family will definitely be the first to put the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty on the city wall of Krakow! ”

(The Lin family wants to attack Europe in an all-out way, and their thinking is a little confused.) Today there are only 4,000, and tomorrow 8,000 will be updated to make up for it. ）
