Chapter 1274 - Let the countrymen raise their eyebrows

Feng Yunshan was very satisfied with the fact that the generator could be developed so quickly. Especially the original explanation that Jeangram has always developed a DC generator, and the alternator, Feng Yunshan just casually mentioned it and let them study it slowly. In Feng Yunshan's opinion, it is already very good that they can research the DC generator, but I didn't expect that Gramm is indeed a fierce man, and he even directly developed the alternating current that only slightly raised the direction.

In the original history, there are still 2 years to go, the Prussian named Werner von Siemens, to be precise, the Prussian who is about the same age as himself who is still called Werner Siemens, will invent the DC generator in the Siemens-Halsk company that he co-founded with others, and gradually apply this technology to various fields such as military, transportation, lighting, and communications in about 15 years.

But now, that's all about to change! The DC generator that can be put into actual production and use is already the first of its kind in the Chinese Empire. What's more, the DC generator will only be used in special scenarios, because the alternator has already been developed simultaneously. With Feng Yunshan's mastery of future generations, he knows very well that this alternator will bypass the DC era for nearly 20 years and directly enter the AC era! And with their own, which devices and appliances that use alternating current, will be developed very quickly, even if there are no inventors like Siemens and Edison.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he thought of this Prussian man named Werner Siemens.

As early as two years ago, Feng Yunshan asked people to visit and find this famous inventor in history, the founder of the later generation of electrical giants, and it didn't take long for Guo Songtao's subordinates to really find the boss who had founded the Siemens-Halsk company, and offered a huge salary to invite him to the Chinese Empire, but Siemens actually refused, the reason is that he does not like to work for others. And Guo Songtao sent a group of people to forcibly take Siemens away, but because Siemens actually arranged guards around him, and directly asked the Berlin police for help, Guo Songtao sent personnel missed, Guo Songtao had to come forward as the special envoy of the Chinese Empire in Europe to bail out his subordinates, and Siemens was different from other company bosses, he was a company operator, and he was engaged in invention research in the secret room all day long, so that Guo Songtao's people were not good to start again.

After Feng Yunshan learned the news, he asked Guo Songtao to temporarily give up the idea of forcing Siemens, and only strengthened the monitoring of the other party and his company. Feng Yunshan was actually hesitating, since this Siemens didn't want to come to the Chinese Empire, he simply sent someone to kill him. But he was a little unbearable, after all, although this person was running a company for the purpose, he had the ability to benefit all mankind, so it was a pity to wipe him out like this. However, now that he has even manufactured an alternator, Siemens has lost his value, and he has lost the opportunity to invent the generator, and he has lost a good opportunity to develop and expand Siemens, not to mention, listening to Guo Songtao, the project of laying the telegraph line from Finland to Crimea undertaken by Siemens-Halsk Company has been unable to be laid because of the civil strife in Tsarist Russia, the independence of Finland and the occupation of Crimea by the Ottoman Empire.

In the next step, Feng Yunshan is ready to start the establishment of an imperial electric company, organizing manpower to develop household appliances such as electric lamps and fans, as well as various electrical appliances such as motors that can be used in industry and military. At this time, Feng Yunshan naturally remembered the great inventor Edison, but at this time, this guy named Edison was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old newspaper operator who was frequently unemployed and wandering around, even if he was recruited, he was a poor boy, just taught a little shallow electrical knowledge by a train driver, and he couldn't talk about the level of an electrical inventor at all. Even if it is tied up, what is the use, it is better to wait for it to grow to become an inventor and then recruit it.

As soon as he returned to the palace after leaving the Royal Academy of Sciences, Zuo Zongtang, chief of the General Staff of the General Staff, Wu Ruxiao, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Fan Ruzeng, director of the Special Services Department, rushed to ask for a face.

Zuo Zongtang said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, great joy!" The righteous king's western expeditionary army has already received good news, the western expeditionary army has won one victory after another, and under the pressure of the Ottoman Empire, Tsarist Russia has finally collapsed. The St. Petersburg side basically agreed to the original armistice memorandum signed by the Russian envoy in Shengjing, but what I didn't expect was that the young tsar on the Moscow side was impatient, and not only directly agreed to all the Shengjing armistice memorandums, but also was willing to pay an additional 500 million Shengyuan!

Your Majesty, this time the Western Expeditionary Army is a real victory, beating Tsarist Russia to the point that it has no temper at all, and completely admits defeat and surrenders! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Western Expeditionary Army has won a great victory. King Yi and Guo Songtao negotiated with the two Russian envoys who rushed there at the port of Azov, and in the end, because the conditions of Tsarist Russia on the side of Moscow were superior, we recognized the Tsar of Moscow as the real Tsar. In exchange, Tsarist Russia agreed to many conditions that satisfied us.

First, the Russian Empire admitted defeat and publicly announced its surrender to our Chinese Empire, and bore all the losses caused by the war, totaling 1.5 billion holy yuan! Among them, 1 billion holy dollars will be repaid in installments with interest over a period of 30 years in the form of grain, cotton, leather, livestock, and other 500,000,000,000 billion yuan in the area east of the Ural River, a vein of the Ural Mountains that originally belonged to the Russian Empire, including the Far East and the coastal areas of the Caspian Sea and the areas occupied by Russian-American companies, all of which will be ceded to the Chinese Empire;

the second is to hand over the main generals of the Cossack army who invaded the Chinese Empire twice, including war criminals with more than 10 major generals, to the Chinese Empire for trial;

Third, all the major treaty ports of the Russian Empire were open to the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire was given the most-favored-nation tariff treatment, and the Cossacks in the territory were restricted, and areas within 50 kilometers of the border line were strictly forbidden. The new generation of tsars asked His Majesty to marry a princess, but the righteous king refused on the spot.

These conditions really make all the people of the Chinese Empire raise their eyebrows! ”

Feng Yunshan was stunned, and then burst out laughing!

He didn't expect that the tsar in Moscow, the historical Alexander III, Alexander Alexandrovich, the young tsar, would retreat so much because of internal and external troubles, and directly issue such a humiliating treaty, which gave his Chinese empire a big advantage! Of course, all this was built on the great military power of the empire.
