Fu Zonglong led two divisions of cavalry north to encircle and annihilate the exile team that captured Huang Wenxian.

Because they adopted the cavalry mode of the pre-Yuan yuan, but were equipped with light firearms, their lethality was very powerful in the time and space of the seventeenth century, and even the Cossacks living in the mountains of the Caucasus could not compare with them.

As the cavalry went north, Zhu Changhao planned to take a look along the river to see what his three major industries were developing now, so that he could formulate a new strategy for the future as a reference basis. It's a pity that he can't go, the princess's delivery date is approaching, and Zhu Changhao plans to wait for the princess to give birth to a child before setting off.

The days of waiting are tense and full of expectations, but the medical conditions of Daming are very poor, Zhu Changhao in order to ensure that the princess is in order, directly invited Lao Dao, as well as the two most famous stable women around Hanzhong Mansion to the palace, and connected the wrapping cloth used by the students, all of which were from Songjiang Mansion, and bought the best cotton cloth.

After the cotton cloth is bought, it is washed, boiled in a large pot, and then exposed to the sun.

In the delivery room where the princess was, Zhu Changhao also asked the entire room to be disinfected with quicklime, and then used a cotton cloth to scrub all the dead corners of the room.

These are not counted, in order to make the princess feel relaxed and happy when she gave birth, Zhu Changhao also asked Lao Dao to configure three packs of Jingshen incense, which is said to contain mint, ambergris, and accessories such as borneol.

Three packs of Jingshen incense Zhu Changhao also took out a little verification, the effect is very good, and there is a feeling of relaxation.

After all the qiē was ready, Zhu Changhao asked the princess to soothe her mood and wait for the birth.

In the more than ten days of waiting for the delivery, Zhu Changhao went to the ordnance to monitor the golden ratio of the optimal configuration of the steam engine in addition to inspecting the canal construction site.

By the way, I also discussed with some of the masters inside the feasibility of building an ironclad ship.

Zhu Changhao proposed the flywheel crankshaft principle of the steam engine, which can pass the guò gear, as well as the pulley, and the introduction of the pulley directly makes the space for the linkage of the steam engine smaller.

It's a pity that the current welding technology is too poor, and the current welding technology of the Ordnance Supervisor is directly the molten iron melting technique, and the piston inside is made of ceramic because there is no rubber.

Later, Zhu Changhao proposed to use manganese steel to make the piston, just because of the difference in accuracy, the air tightness of the piston is not too good, to seal well, there must be rubber, but now not to mention the Ming Dynasty, that is, there is no rubber in the entire Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, air tightness, Zhu Changhao can't do it.

Fortunately, in the period of the 21st century, there were many street shops that repaired gasoline engines and diesel engines, and Zhu Changhao directly proposed to design the piston into the shape of a layered round cake.

A layered round cake with ten deep grooves means that there are ten pistons, so that the ten layers of round cake strengthen the air tightness. In order to facilitate the frequent replacement of the piston in the future, Zhu Changhao directly set the piston linkage handle in a spiral shape, if the piston is worn strictly, directly replace it, and replace the good one by screwing.

The introduction of screws has played a huge role in promoting the standardization of industrial production in Daming.

As the person in charge of the design of the steam engine this time, Zhu Changhao has now given him a new task, that is, to develop a new steam ironclad ship.

The invention of the steam engine has now been filed in the patent yamen of Hanzhong Prefecture, and the holder of the patent is the military supervision under Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui.

In order to avoid a lawsuit over the patent in the future, Zhu Changhao directly used 100,000 silver dollars to buy the patented technology of the steam engine into his own hands.

The 100,000 silver dollars, according to the size of the contribution to the steam engine, were divided by Sun Yuanhua. Zhu Changhao got the 50,000 silver dollars inside, but he later sent the 50,000 silver dollars to the master craftsman of the Ordnance Supervisor.

Among them, Dai Cang took 12,200 silver dollars, Sun Yuanhua, and Song Yingxing 8,000 each.

The research on ironclad steamships is continuing, but Zhu Changhao is no longer able to take care of it.

On the morning of the eighth day of the fifth month, the princess complained that her stomach hurt, and the palace immediately became nervous.

In the delivery room sterilized with quicklime, the smell of quiet incense escaped from the window, and Lao Dao took his treasure bag and sat under the eaves outside the delivery room, waiting solemnly.

Zhu Changhao is like an ant on a hot pot, constantly walking around under the eaves, sometimes directly under the sun, looking anxiously at the vermilion lacquer door of the delivery room.

I saw a basin of hot water brought in, and then brought out again, and the high-temperature sterilized fine cotton cloth was directly brought in one by one.

The princess's voice became more and more high-pitched, and finally gradually became hoarse. Zhu Changhao immediately asked people to bring in the best royal jelly water.

From the beginning of the sun to the time of Shen, it took almost four hours, accompanied by a cry of "wow", Zhu Changhao realized that the child finally landed safely.

After a while, the two stable women came out with the child in their arms, bowed and said, "Congratulations to the prince, it is a dragon and phoenix fetus, a big fat boy, and a girl." ”

Zhu Changhao immediately gave Uncle Wang a look, and two red envelopes of twelve silver dollars were stuffed into the two stable women.

Lao Dao also got up at this time, stood up and said to Zhu Changhao with a smile, "Congratulations to the prince, I am happy to have a dragon and phoenix fetus." ”

Zhu Changhao was already overjoyed at this time, and said to Lao Dao with a smile, "Tongxi, Tongxi, hey, I can't imagine that this king will also be a father." ”

The two children were still squinting their eyes at this time, and the small fluff on their heads looked so immature, just a blood and flesh affection, which spread in Zhu Changhao's heart in an instant.

Zhu Changhao looked at his two babies, smirked a few times, and immediately carried the child into the delivery room.

I saw that the princess was pale and sweating profusely, but her expression was quite joyful.

didn't dislike the filth of the delivery room, and didn't care about the so-called taboos that Wen Po said, Zhu Changhao sat on the edge of the delivery bed, "Lian'er, you see, this is our baby." ”

The princess, who was originally recuperating with her eyes closed, heard Zhu Changhao's voice, and her pale face bloomed with the brilliance of maternal love.

"Lord Wang, put the child by my side, and take a good look at the concubine."

Zhu Changhao directly placed the two babies gently beside Liu Zilian, then took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the beads of sweat on the princess's forehead.

Liu Zilian looked at the two babies happily, then silently stretched out her hand, held the big hand that wiped her forehead tightly, and looked at Zhu Changhao with affection.

Zhu Changhao, who had a loving face, was tightly held by the princess's two hands, looking at the princess's hands that were still green due to overexertion, and said emotionally, "Lian'er, thank you, you are tired." ”

"Lord Wang, no, Lian'er is not tired, Lian'er can give birth to a son and a half daughter for the prince, and Lian'er is not tired at all."

When Zhu Changhao heard this, tears rolled in his eyes with emotion, and he was speechless in a choked voice, but nodded.

The news that Lord Rui gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus spread in Hanzhong Mansion in less than an afternoon.

In the next three days, Zhu Changhao accompanied the princess and his two babies in the morning, and only dealt with political affairs in the afternoon.

That night, when the princess, who was still a little weak, was having dinner with the ladies in the palace, "Lord, what should our two babies be called?" ”

When this sentence came out, Zhu Changhao realized that in the past two days, he has always called his two children "son and girl", and he didn't think of naming the children!

According to the naming convention of the old Zhu family, they are all named according to the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth".

"Dad's generation is next to the golden character, (Zhu Yi's "Jun" is the Wanli Emperor), and his own generation is next to the word water, (Zhu Chang'Hao', Zhu Chang'Xun', then the next is the wooden word.) ）。 His son Zhu Changhao decided to name him Zhu Guoyu, and his daughter named Zhu Jin. ”

Zhu Changhao thought of this, and immediately said to the ladies present, "The son of this king is named Zhu Guoyu (fan), '橎' is an ancient sacred tree, the wood is tough, through the heavens and the earth, and it is said in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that it is a sacred tree that builds wood and communicates heaven and earth. This king wants our son to stand tall and strong. ”

daughter Zhu Hibiscus, Zhu Changhao also explained, "Five generations Zhang Zhengjian said in "Baitou Yin", Yan is like a flower falling hibiscus, and his temples are like snow. ”

When Zhu Changhao had all his children and enjoyed life with his family members in the palace, Zhu Youxiang, the son of the Fuwangfu in Luoyang, was leading the private soldiers of the palace to fight desperately in the martial arts arena of the Fuwangfu Mansion by the Luohe River.

In the stands of the martial arts arena, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun and Princess Zou talked while watching, "Lord, the concubine heard that your fifth brother gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus this time, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"Well, it's true, alas, God has no eyes, how can such a villain have a baby? This king has so much silver and grain, heavens, you can have a thunderstorm and kill the little five sons! ”

Zou listened to his husband's curse, and laughed in his heart, "If God had eyes, then Jiannu would not rebel!" Of course, Zou didn't say this.

Ten days later, the Zongzheng Order of the Jingshi Zongren Mansion played Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, on the eighth day of the first month of this month, Princess Liu gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus. ”

"Well, I know, Wang Bandang, the intention is to make the Zhu family of the Rui Wangfu the prince, and his daughter Zhu Shijin is the lord of Baohua."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the Jingshi, when the reward for the Ruiwang Mansion came down, Liu Zheng, who was inspecting the post roads in the world, would already be in Songjiang Mansion to check out the six post stations here.

Because after the news came out that Anqingyi directly killed the local powerful officials who invaded the post station, the next inspection became simple.

In order to grow the industry of the palace in the future, Liu Zheng let the local palace merchants and post stations communicate and exchange, and finally reached the palace industry alliance.

During this period, the post station in the north was inspected, due to natural disasters and displaced people, Zhu Changhao directly handed over to Zhou Shoulian, the military discipline chief in the cavalry division this time.

Because this time, the transportation of grain, grass, firearms, and ammunition from the cavalry division to the north was in charge of the Beidi Post Station, the Wangfu Firm, and the baggage soldiers of the cavalry division, and the specific transferee was Zhou Shoulian.

Twenty days have passed, Liu Zilian's body has recovered a lot, and at noon, Zhu Changhao looked at the princess in a cheongsam, and when she walked out of the dining hall lazily, she looked at her graceful posture and said without words, "If the ass is big, it's good, give birth to a son!" ”
