When Song Yingxing heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The emperor said this, that is, what he likes to do and is willing to do, he immediately agreed without any hesitation.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he greeted with a smile: "This division of Qing is created from scratch, and there are too many things to do. Now the things that I and Sun Qing want to discuss also have things that Qing wants to deal with, so Qing also came to listen to it......"

As he spoke, he entered the lobby, and Song Yingxing followed behind, listened respectfully, and followed up in the lobby. And his scholar was already in a corner of the courtyard, and he didn't come back to his senses until the old man disappeared from sight. Then, he stayed in that corner alone, the expression on his face was colorful and varied, immersed in imagination.

After a while, Sun Chuanting, under the guidance of a brocade guard, came to the hall to meet the emperor. This was the first time he had faced a saint since he came to the south to take office, and he looked extremely solemn.

Song Yingxing on the side was also a little curious, looking at the most famous feudal official in the south, known as the "cold-faced Hades". His first impression was that he was capable and unsmiling.

Emperor Chongzhen was no different from just now, he still looked relaxed, smiled and let Sun Chuanting calm down, and introduced the people present.

When Sun Chuanting heard about the newly established department of the Science and Technology Clearance Division, his expressionless face finally showed a trace of doubt. Speaking of which, he was also a traditional literati, busy with political affairs, and did not know much about the scientific and technological knowledge promoted from the north to the south. Therefore, he couldn't guess anything from the name in the first place. Even after Emperor Chongzhen explained it to him a little, he had no idea.

Then Emperor Chongzhen introduced the middle-aged man standing at the end to Sun Chuanting: "This is my apprentice, it turned out to be a carpenter, Xu Zhengming!" ”

"......" Hearing this introduction, Sun Chuanting's face changed greatly, and he always thought that he was an official, but he didn't expect that there was an apprentice of the emperor, which surprised him very much.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at his face, and said with a smile: "I was hooked on my face when I was hooked, but I had no choice, so I had to accept it." But it's okay, and it lives up to my expectations. This time, Chuanqing came over, and one important thing was to let Qing open his eyes and see what my apprentice had made. ”

Sun Chuanting's city is deep enough, and after being surprised, he has regained his expressionless demeanor, and after hearing the emperor's words, he was only curious in his heart, and he didn't know what could make the emperor decree that he would send his temporary governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces to Ying Tianfu. At the same time, I also secretly sighed in my heart that I, the emperor, can surprise myself every time we meet.

After a round of introductions, Emperor Chongzhen turned straight and began to get to the point: "Now Nanyang Luzon is basically in the hands of my Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to being inserted into a nail by the Ming Dynasty in the colonial forces of Nanyang Xiyi. If what I expected is right, the Xiyi of the South Seas, including other forces hostile to the Ming Dynasty, will definitely be unable to sleep at night, and it is very likely that they will unite against my Ming Dynasty......"

When Sun Chuanting saw that he was talking about business, he had a serious face and listened carefully. With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty has the heart to go south, it is true that there are many forces in the South Seas, and none of them will be the opponents of the Ming Dynasty. If they are not willing to submit, they will only be united.

Thinking so, he unconsciously nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with the emperor's analysis.

“…… I have already decided to change the title of King Yi to Luzon. In the future, Luzon will be my Ming. However, in this way, the surrounding forces of the Ming Dynasty will definitely cause them to panic when they see that the Ming Dynasty has successively divided three feudal kings into vassals. For the time being, under multiple factors, the possibility of many forces in Nanyang jointly resisting our Ming Dynasty will be greatly increased. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Sun Chuanting, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "Those Xiyi who let you dismiss and stay in office, and the people of the Ming Dynasty who robbed and plundered, are in Nanyang, and they are currently under the control of Liu Xiang's pirates. When they are rescued, they can be reinstated. ”

As the temporary acting governor, although Sun Chuanting's current power is actually the same as before, it is not justified after all! The emperor proposed specific measures for the reinstatement of officials, and Sun Chuanting naturally cared about it, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely send troops to crusade against the pirates and save my Ming people!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he stretched out his hand and waved: "Sun Qing, don't worry, the people of the Ming Dynasty must be rescued, but they must be fully planned with the situation in Nanyang." ”

Song Yingxing listened to it on the side for a long time, and was very surprised in his heart, he didn't know anything about the situation in Nanyang, this was the first time he had heard of it. Does that mean that in the future, the native products of Nanyang will no longer be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty?

As he was thinking, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Therefore, I have decided to build a shipyard in Guangdong, which should be large-scale for the construction of warships. The new technology in the Tongzhou shipyard will be applied to this new shipyard. My goal is to arm our Daming Naval Division with the best ships and cannons. After two years, I will announce the new three armies of the Ming Dynasty, one of which is the navy, which is equal to the army. “

The three armies that have always been used refer to the front, middle, and rear armies that fought on horseback.

The vanguard battalion of the former army is generally responsible for opening roads, reconnaissance, coping with small-scale battles, and bringing some military supplies. The Chinese army is the army in which the commander is located, and there are most of the combat arms that fought at that time, such as elite cavalry and elite infantry, and so on. The rear army is mainly the main military materials, craftsmen, and a large number of civilian workers of the whole army, and of course there are also some troops.

Of course, there is also a saying, that is, the three armies proposed by Shang Ying: strong men are one army, strong women are one army, and the old and weak men and women are one army, which is called the three armies. This statement is too niche to be mentioned.

At this time, hearing Emperor Chongzhen's question, several people present had never heard of this new concept, and Sun Chuanting understood in his heart that the emperor was going to greatly improve the status of the water master, which had already been seen before. However, he was still a little curious about the three armies mentioned by the emperor, and this kind of thing should also be understood, so he played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I don't know which three armies the three armies are?" ”

Song Yingxing was also very curious, and listened with his ears pricked up. Only Xu Zhengming was not interested in this kind of war or anything, he was a little deserted, and he was thinking about his hot air balloon again.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the question, he replied with a smile: "The so-called new three armies are the army, navy, and air force. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at a few people who were a little surprised, and then explained: "Actually, as the name suggests, Qing and the others should be able to guess which three armies they are." The army is the army on land, I believe this does not need to be explained. The navy is the naval combat army, and the current Denglai Naval Division and Fujian Naval Division are ready to be reorganized into a navy to defend the Ming Dynasty on the sea and ocean and eliminate the enemies of the Ming Dynasty. What Qing and the others really don't understand should be the Air Force, right? “

According to the meaning of His Majesty's explanation just now, the air force is the army that fights in the sky, which is called the air force. But what does it mean to fight in the sky? Heavenly soldiers?

Without giving them much time to wonder, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the land where the old god was there, obviously thinking about things in his own land, Xu Zhengming said: "This apprentice of mine has made a hot air balloon, and it will be shown to the people of Daming in Qilin Gate in three days, and people can fly in the sky with the help of tools." This is just the first step. ”

As soon as he heard the words "hot air balloon", Xu Zhengming immediately came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he looked at his master.

"In the second step, I'm going to let him test the airship again. This airship is more suitable for aerial combat than a hot air balloon. Only when this airship is developed can it be regarded as an army that truly has air combat. However, how long it will take for this airship to be built depends on the progress of physics and chemistry. And this ......" Emperor Chongzhen said this, turned his head to look at Song Yingxing, who was already surprised, and said, "...... It is necessary for the joint efforts of the Department of Science and Technology Clearance. ”

When Song Yingxing heard this, he immediately yearned for it, and at the same time felt that the responsibility was very heavy.

And what Emperor Chongzhen said, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it is estimated that most people will think it is nonsense. This is also the reason why Emperor Chongzhen called Sun Chuanting and asked him to witness the first hot air balloon ascension.

If Emperor Chongzhen said these words when he first ascended the throne, although he looked like he spoke in an orderly manner and seemed to be normal, nine times out of ten he would be considered crazy. But today's Emperor Chongzhen has done so many unbelievable things, and has recovered Liaodong, greatly expanding the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and his prestige has chased Taizu and Chengzu.

Hearing the emperor's explanation, even the expressionless Sun Chuanting was excited. He has led his troops to fight for many years, and he knows best that if he has an air force in his hands, how high the deterrent power of this air force will be, it is really impossible to say too much.

"Your Majesty, when will this air force be available?" Sun Chuanting subconsciously asked, "It's a pity that the Jianyu has been destroyed, otherwise let them see and see this air force, presumably without fighting, they can make them scared to the point of urine!" ”

The most powerful enemy around the Ming Dynasty is actually Jianguo, but Jianyu has been destroyed, and the remnants have also fled to the Wa Kingdom, which makes it a pity that the people who lead the troops to fight are a little regrettable in the face of a new military branch but there is no place to experiment.

Emperor Chongzhen rarely heard Sun Chuanting be so humorous, so he replied with a smile: "If the air force can really be used in wars and attack the enemy, it is still a little early, but it is not much of a problem to use it for reconnaissance or something." But no matter what, this air force shelf must be erected. In the future, the three armies of my Ming Dynasty will be the three armies of the navy, land and air! Hehe, I want to see who can be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty! “

When he said this, Emperor Chongzhen silently added a sentence in his heart: The goal of the Ming Dynasty is the boundless sea!

Imagining the Ming army advancing on the ground, advancing on the sea, and flying in the air, overwhelming, the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals are nothing more than that, Sun Chuanting, who has a calm temperament, is also excited, thinking in his heart, how powerful the future of the Ming Dynasty will be! It seems a little overwhelmed!

Emperor Chongzhen drew a big pie, looked forward to the future, and was in a good mood, turned his head to look at Song Yingxing and said: "All of this I said depends on the progress of science and technology, and Qing, the secretary of science and technology, has a long way to go!" After the achievements of the Department of Science and Technology Officials in more than one day, I will reorganize the Department of Science and Technology Officials into the Ministry of Science and Technology, which will go hand in hand with the current six departments. Song Qing, you are at the helm of the first Science and Technology Division! Don't let me down! ”

This means that as long as Song Yingxing does a good job, he will be one of the seven Shangshu in the future. He's just a lifter, and under normal circumstances, it's impossible to do it. But now, the emperor has given a way to promotion. Shang Shu! This is an important minister of the court!

Thinking that he could do what he was interested in and glorify his ancestors, how could Song Yingxing not be excited, and immediately promised again that he would dedicate his life to science and technology.

At this time, before you know it, it is already evening. It should be said that things are almost the same, Song Yingxing and Sun Chuanting have people to guide them to rest. And Emperor Chongzhen recruited the eunuch of Ying Tianfu and instructed him: "If you send out the news, you will say that the demonstration of people being able to go to heaven will be held outside the Qilin Gate in three days, and anyone who is interested can go to watch." You also took all the officials from Ying Tianfu to the scene......"

Xu Zhengmao naturally knew about the hot air balloon, because he was in charge of the manor and was responsible for the connection between the emperor and Xu Zhengming. Therefore, he was not surprised to hear it, and naturally obeyed the emperor's orders, but he was still a little puzzled, and asked: "I wonder if Your Majesty is here in person?" ”

"Of course I'm going, but I can't let anyone know about it beforehand." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he warned him, "I have already created momentum before, and in the past few days, you must also try your best to build momentum, so that the more people can see it, the better." However, the continuous maintenance of the scene should not be careless. ”

Xu Zhengmao listened to it and was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that what else would be more sensational and attractive than the emperor personally coming to Ying Tianfu to watch this demonstration? Even if those people who don't eat the ancients resist scientific and technological knowledge and deliberately don't come, but when the emperor comes, will they not come?

He naturally didn't know that the rules of the chat group, if Emperor Chongzhen did not reveal his identity and admired him, the achievement value given by the system would be doubled. Emperor Chongzhen is this plan, not to reveal his identity first, and then to harvest a wave of achievement points after revealing his identity, and then to harvest a wave of achievement points, so that I believe that the achievement value can be counted in tens of millions.

In the original history, it was not until the 18th century that the French paper merchant Mongolfeld brothers invented the hot air balloon. At that time, the Mongolfeld brothers performed a hot air balloon launch in front of the Palace of Versailles in Paris for the French king, queen, court ministers and 130,000 Parisians. On the afternoon of November 21 of the same year, the Mongolfier brothers carried out the world's first manned flight in a hot air balloon at Fort Muette in Paris, flying for 25 minutes, flying half of Paris and landing near Place d'Italia.

And on this plane, there will be Emperor Chongzhen's apprentice, Xu Zhengming, in Yingtianfu, a million people, to complete this human feat a century in advance!
