Chapter 591: Naval Conception
The earth is round.
The sky is also round.
Heaven and earth are like chickens, the earth is egg yolk, and the clear sky is egg white.
And the reason why people don't fall down is because there is a strange force that is absorbing everyone, just like a magnet adsorbs iron......
And so on, although it sounds incredible, but it is reasonable, and the small examples cited by Yang Mu make people unable to think of reasons to refute them.
However, a few officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology are more receptive.
Because long before that, the Ministry of Science and Technology had already been in contact with mechanics, although there was no law of gravitation, and I had not been exposed to much geographical knowledge, but combined with some previous cases, some conclusions can be drawn.
For example, if two iron balls, one large and one small, are thrown from a high place and fall to the ground at the same time, this is because the gravitational force is the same, and the acceleration has nothing to do with the mass......
Another example is a handful of goose feathers and an iron ball of about the same size, the goose feathers will slowly fall to the ground, because the goose feathers are subject to greater resistance.
And so on, the Ministry of Science and Technology has verified it many times, and the College of Science and Technology in Taixue often does such experiments, which have become almost every student's must-contact experiments.
Therefore, when Yang Mu put forward the statement that the earth is round, the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology accepted it the fastest, and under the confirmation of the two phases, it was found that it was completely in line with the mechanical knowledge that everyone had learned before.
Of course, Yang Mu would not have thought that a theory he casually threw out would subvert the three views of the ministers present, and at the same time, he also knew that such a theory would take a certain amount of time to accept.
Until then, he would not have preached this theory.
Because of the rise of science, to a certain extent, trampling on the feudal superstition, before the cangguo has not unified the world, it is better to maintain that hazy understanding of heaven and earth, which is conducive to cohesion of people's hearts and will not be regarded as heresy.
But now, the world is decided, and the Dacang Dynasty has a prototype, and in time it will be able to soar into the sky, burst out with strong strength and unlimited potential.
In such a situation, feudal superstition will not only not have much effect on the Dacang Dynasty, but will also hinder the development of the Dacang Dynasty and become a scientific resistance.
Using one person's selfish desires to hinder the people's cognition of heaven and earth and the truth is something that Yang Mu is extremely opposed.
Even if he is now suppressing the common people's understanding of the world, with the current academic atmosphere of Cangguo, it is only a matter of time or time, looking at the entire history of mankind, how slim is a hundred years and a thousand years? Even if he hinders the development of science now, then a hundred years from now? What about a thousand years from now?
It is necessary to properly unveil the mystery between heaven and earth.
After all, the end of physical chemistry can easily evolve into theology, and no one can say exactly where all these laws come from and where they should go.
After the small banquet, the monarch and the minister watched the sea again.
"Huh-"
At this moment, there was a sigh from the bow of the ship, and then the rest of the big boats also started to stir.
It turned out that it was the officers and men of the navy who discovered the big white shark.
The so-called white shark is actually a beluga whale.
In this water, there are many beluga whales, one by one, like silver carp stocked in the pond, in the vast sea, a piece of beluga whale suddenly swarmed in, spectacular.
At this time, the sky is as clear as a wash, the glow is endless, the blue waves are boundless, and the magnificence between the sea and the sky is beyond description.
"Your Majesty, it is rumored that the white shark is a god-given artifact, why don't you catch some?" Kong Shangxian said beside him.
Yang Mu laughed: "Yes, there are many white sharks in this sea area, let the soldiers catch some and carry them back to the capital, and when the time comes, there will be a big banquet for the ministers and a white shark feast!"
Soon, the admirals took the order, and the flags of the flagship fleet were changed, and the sound of trumpets pierced the sea and air, conveying the ships from all directions.
Dozens of clippers quickly gathered, and the large crossbows of the warships were fired at once, and the spear-like arrows roared towards the white sharks in the water.
Yang Mu really saw a few pillars of blood rising from those white sharks.
"Hoorayβ"
"Caught!"
The entire sea resounded with the cheers of the soldiers of the Cang army, and Yang Mu was also very happy and ordered a reward.
After two days of cruising in the sea, the big ship docked.
After all, it is not far from the shore, and it will not take long to return, and after Yang Mu and a group of ministers settled down in the post house, they began to discuss the military system.
At present, the Dacang Dynasty has six main army corps, each county has 30,000 to 100,000 government soldiers, plus the conscription plan planned by the military department, the entire Dacang Dynasty soldiers are approaching 6 million.
These six million soldiers can be collectively referred to as the Army.
Yang Mu's current plan is to build a large navy to deal with the rest of the three dynasties of Daqing, Datong, and Daqing.
After all, for the attack between dynasties, although the army is the main force of the battle, but the strength of the navy is crucial, without a strong navy, then no matter how powerful the army is, there is nothing to be done, if you want to cross the many natural dangers, trek through mountains and rivers to form an expeditionary force to attack foreign countries, the difficulty is not ordinary.
Therefore, it is imperative for the navy to seize the opportunity to rapidly organize and expand in order to play a major role in the future.
"I think that the navy should refer to the six major army corps of the army and form several different warbands for jurisdiction." Kong Shangxian said.
Yang Mu nodded and said, "How to divide it?" Is it according to the number of soldiers, or the number of warships? β
"This ......" Kong Shangxian hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister thinks that it should be based on the number of soldiers." β
"What the Prime Minister said, the minister did not dare to agree."
At this time, Ge Lie, the secretary of the military department, spoke, leaning on crutches and said: "The old minister is dying in his twilight years, but he also knows that there is a difference between sea and land. β
"What does Lord Ge think?" Kong Shangxian asked.
"The old minister thinks that neither the number of soldiers nor the number of warships is advisable, and it is necessary to adopt a combination of warships, military horns and garrisons."
"Oh?" Yang Mu was very surprised, and said: "Aiqing's point of view is novel, I would like to hear it in detail." β
"The minister thinks that I didn't have much experience in establishing the navy at the beginning of the Dacang Dynasty, and this move is different from the original Qilin Army, which should be based on the number of ships, followed by the station, and then establish the military number. Our Dacang Dynasty faces the sea on three sides, so we might as well set up three fleets, and these three fleets have fixed ports and stations, each named after them, for example, the sea area in the south may as well be called the South China Sea Fleet, and the east side is called the East China Sea Fleet, relying on this, to establish the entire navy. β
Yang Mu thought about it a little and felt that it made sense.
According to what he knew, the Chinese navy he learned in his previous life was to distinguish between sea areas and establish three major fleets, and now Ge Lie's proposal coincides with it.
