Chapter 616: Waiting for the Floating Flowers and Waves to Be Exhausted (Part II)

Guo Shoujing hadn't finished shouting, Deng Mu, Zhou Mi and the rest of the craftsmen also reacted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Deng Mu and Zhou Mi have just entered the industry, and they are not very familiar with this, but fortunately, they are quite talented, and those craftsmen are attracted by the majesty of the royal family, and they can't concentrate for a while, so their reactions are half a beat slower than Guo Shoujing, but at this time, they also understand, and they look at Ye Yingwu with excitement and expectation in their eyes.

It's like discovering a new continent.

But in fact, for these craftsmen, why didn't they really discover the New World? Ye Yingwu waved his hand, Xiao Yangzi hurriedly stepped forward to lift the kettle, and the teacups that had been prepared long ago were opened, and a chair was placed beside everyone, and the aroma of good Longjing tribute tea permeated the imperial study.

Ye Yingwu sat down slowly and looked at the three officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry: "There is only so much that can be thought of, as for how to convert this force into the force that pushes the equipment to work, it depends on your ability." However, it is estimated that the equipment produced using this principle should be more useful than the original hydraulic equipment in the workshop. ”

Guo Shoujing arched his hand at Ye Yingwu: "Thank you Your Majesty for your advice, the ministers are incompetent and failed to think of this method, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

"What kind of sin do you have?" Ye Yingwu couldn't help laughing, if it weren't for being a traverser, if he wanted to think of this, wouldn't it be to be old in the wilderness, "I just want to talk about daily observation and discovery, as long as we pay more attention to the bits and pieces of life, we will definitely be able to find a lot of magic, such as why the lid of this kettle rises out of thin air, and why the apples of the apple tree fall down instead of flying upward." ”

Deng Mu, Zhou Mi and those craftsmen also had strange looks on their faces, obviously Ye Yingwu's words inspired them a lot, and everyone looked out the window in unison, and there happened to be a leaf slowly falling with the wind. Everyone looked back again, their expressions were already much more exciting, and it was obvious that Ye Yingwu's few words were like opening a window and seeing a bright sky for them.

And Ye Yingwu didn't say much, if he wanted to continue, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it, after all, he hadn't been exposed to these things for a long time, and there were almost only so many in his memory, and those formulas had already been mixed up, so it was better not to mislead them; Second, Ye Yingwu didn't want to interfere too much in the process of scientific exploration and discovery, because this process was originally the tempering of the entire nation's curiosity and curiosity about science.

The Chinese nation is originally a smart nation, Ye Yingwu wants to guide this nation out of the cage of self-style, to explore science, discover the unknown, and use his own wisdom to integrate science and technology, so that the whole nation can completely stand on the top of the world. The history of being passively beaten, bullied, and forced to grit its teeth and try to catch up in another world will completely bid farewell to this nation and this land.

The reason why Ye Yingwu first focused on practical application and then on science was naturally due to the fact that the tension of the situation could not allow for detailed exploration of science, and then the application of science to practice, the Ming Dynasty could not afford to wait, and now Ye Yingwu can also prove the applicability of scientific theories through these technologies, so as to encourage the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and even all the people to be interested in science, so that the exploration of science is no longer the effort of a few people, but the driving force for the entire national unity to move forward.

In history, the first industrial revolution of Westerners actually used applied technology to promote scientific research, and many scientific theories were verified on the existing applied technology, which in turn laid the foundation for the second industrial revolution science to drive the application of technology.

Ye Yingwu didn't know if he was doing this right, and what kind of path he would lead this nation to, but he knew very well that he was taking a different path from another time and space, and since Huaxia fell badly on that road, he had no choice.

If the future is uncertain, then rush forward.

Ye Yingwu believed that the time difference of hundreds of years ahead of the West would give him this opportunity, and he also believed that Guo Shoujing and these officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry would not let him down.

"Your Majesty, the ministers should do their best!" Guo Shoujing said cautiously, he didn't know if it would be useful to magnify the phenomenon on this small kettle so many times, but he knew that if he had no choice now, it would be better to give it a try.

After all, Your Majesty has never let yourself down.

After the rain, the sky is clear, and the building is annoying.

This small city, because of its important position of guarding the valley of the Lan River and defending the flank of Yanmen Pass, has always been a battleground for soldiers. It is precisely because of this consideration that the building of the City is not big, but the city is high and deep, and the road extending from the north passes through the city, and if you want to go south from the grassland to Taiyuan Mansion without going to Yanmen Pass, here is the only choice. The small size of the city allows the defenders to resist the attack of the enemy's army with limited strength.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, from here to the line of Yanmen Pass, has always been a front fortress to resist the southward movement of the Liao cavalry, but later with the Jurchens to the south, the Song army collapsed on the whole line, and the Shanxi garrison army in the main battle faction of the imperial court, the famous minister Li Gang and others under the order of Youyan to pull out, with flesh and blood to resist the rolling Jurchen cavalry, Yanmen Pass to Loufu this line is not guarded, the Jurchens also took the opportunity to break through here, and the last elite seed army was also defeated.

Later, in order to prevent the connection between the inside and outside of the Great Wall from being cut off, the Jurchens did not focus on repairing these fortresses on the northern defense line, and even the Yanmen Pass and the Great Wall were completely abandoned, and later the Jurchens also suffered the bitter fruits in the process of the Mongol cavalry moving south.

A hundred years later, the Ming army re-came to this former northern fortress, and what they saw was actually a dilapidated northern city, if it were not for the flowing Fenshui and Qilanshui still roaring in the distant mountains, if it were not for the corpses of Mongolian soldiers everywhere outside the city that had not been collected, I am afraid that no one would believe that this was once a pivotal fortress, and a major war had just broken out.

The dilapidated mansion has been sorted out, and the big hole in the roof has been covered with straw by the guards, and the dilapidated mansion smells of decay everywhere, obviously the beams and pillars have begun to rot. Just in case, the first division of the Xuanwu Army, which entered the city in advance, did not know where to remove two relatively intact beams and stand on the corners as pillars, although it looked a little nondescript, but it was better than an accident.

"This place is dilapidated, please don't be surprised by Shangzhu Kingdom." Li Fu said with some embarrassment.

And Zhang Shijie looked at it, but smiled slightly: "My Ming soldiers are still lying in the mud outside, and I am thankful that I can rest in this house." I've come over to eat and sleep, will I still come to dislike this? ”

Li Fu nodded, what Zhang Shijie said made him recall the hardships and hardships along the way, of course, this road refers to the Ming Dynasty from Jiangnan all the way to this place. Countless ups and downs, countless blood, fire and war, and Huaxia finally achieved nirvana in this baptism again and again.

"This lobby with air leaking on all sides is just cool!" Zhang Shijie looked very happy, and he also made fun of this simple and simple meeting hall to a certain extent.

In fact, not only him, but also the staff and generals who came and went in this hall were all smiling, and no one was dissatisfied because of this humble environment, not to mention that everyone had marched hard in the wind and rain and mud for so long, and had already experienced more difficult days than this, and they didn't take this little wind and waves in their eyes at all, not to mention that now the entire Xuanwu army was immersed in the joy of finding Kublai Khan and Odukchi, and captured the enemy chieftain alive, what a glory it was, and he could boast of it for several lifetimes, and even slept at night with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Of course, there are also unhappy ones, such as Jiang Hao, the general of the Tianwu Army standing behind Zhang Shijie. Hurry up and start a slow step, and when the Tianwu army marches to Lou Fu, not to mention that Kublai Khan and Ao Duchi are dead, one is captured, and even the ordinary Mongolian Tartars have not found one, this war has ended like this, or it is possible that the war between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia will come to an end in the future, and it is strange that Jiang Hao can be happy if he misses this last opportunity to make a contribution.

There are unhappy things in the world, and there are even more unhappy ones, compared to Jiang Hao's regrets, the Jinghu army in the north is really red-eyed, these Mongolian Tatars are so unbeaten, they have not yet run to the Lan River valley to be eaten and wiped clean by the Xuanwu army, not even a little bone residue left to the Jinghu army, even Kublai Khan and Ao Duchi two people ran for their lives, did not run out of the palm of the Xuanwu army, you must know that the Jinghu army in the north has opened the net of heaven and earth, just waiting for the prey to come, but nothing has been waited.

Looking up at the enemy and friend situation on the map, Zhang Shijie couldn't help laughing, now all the armies in Shanxi have stopped advancing, the Tianwu Army and the Xuanwu Army are repairing on the front line of Yanmen Pass, and at the same time consolidating the city defense and restoring the original armament of the northern defense line, and the Divine Guard Army and the Praetorian Guard Army have begun to assemble to the south, after all, their main task is to defend the city of Nanjing, now the interior of the Ming Dynasty is empty, and the South Seas have begun to make trouble again, if there is no army to mobilize, it is inevitable that there will be any accidents, Therefore, Zhang Shijie ordered the two armies to move south just after the war in the north ended.

And the only thing that is still moving forward is naturally the Jinghu army holding its breath, and finally it was their turn to eat meat, but only some small fish and shrimp were left, the Jinghu army can be said to be rushing forward with red eyes, the three camps of Mongolia in the valley of the Lan River after getting the news of Kublai Khan's death and the defeat of the army, they all have no fighting spirit to resist, and they were soon broken through by the Jinghu army, and they have rushed to Wuzhou in two days, along the way the Mongolian rearguard army is actually in a rout, and the Jinghu army is marching forward in a hurry, It is estimated that the Great Wall will be recaptured this afternoon.

"This battle is over, but there will be a fight in the future." Zhang Shijie muttered with emotion, and the eyes of Li Fu and Jiang Hao and others lit up suddenly.

Shaking the military newspaper in his hand, Zhang Shijie handed it to Li Fu and Jiang Hao, and said in a deep voice: "I just received the news that Kublai Khan died, Mongolia was in turmoil, and the army that was originally on the western front to resist Bara also began to retreat, and now the Mongolian army has shrunk on the front line of Helin, and it may collapse at any time. ”

"Yara?" Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows, the name is quite familiar, "Isn't that the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, the defeated general of the Shence Army, why did they all run to Helin?" ”

Zhang Shijie said intently: "It's a long story, these eight are really ours." Good friend', Kublai Khan led the army south, and the Shence Army and the Tianxiong Army locked the Xingxing Gorge, Ba Ra saw that his tribal land was eaten clean by Haidu, knowing that with a lone army even if he opened up the Xingxing Gorge, he could only continue to be a general under Haidu, even worse than before, so he simply broke the cauldron and sank the boat, turned around and rushed into the grassland, Kublai Khan probably did not expect this guy to kill at this time, and had no choice but to order the Western Front army to resist with all his might, waiting for him to lead the army back to the division, because of the unfamiliar place and the demoralization of the generals, Ba Ra advanced very slowly, it is estimated that he still wanted to fish in troubled waters, if the Ming Dynasty was defeated, they would attack Hexi, and if Kublai Khan was defeated, they would attack Helin. ”

Looking at the map, Li Fu nodded: "So now Ba Ra is marching towards Helin?" It's just a pity that the Mongol Tartars should not have enough troops to resist, right? However, there are still a few sons of Kublai Khan left, although they are young, they are real existence after all, there will definitely be unwilling generals and people who are afraid of Ba Ra's murder and revenge will defend or retreat, Ba Ra wants to easily take Helin, I'm afraid it is not so easy. ”

Yang Ting and Yin Yu both bowed slightly, the national character of the Mongols was originally different from the Han people, these Mongolian warriors who grew up on the steppes preferred to kill during the attack, and the slaughter they carried out was "famous" among the countries on the entire continent, which also led to the fact that the various tribes of Mongolia are often full of each other's blood because of the long-term struggle, especially the two tribes like Kublai Khan and Bara, in the past few years, they have not shown any mercy to each other who are also Mongols, Sometimes it was even more ruthless than the Ming Dynasty, because the Mongols knew very well that it was easy for the captives to escape when fighting on the steppe, so the easiest way to weaken the enemy's strength was to kill them all.

I'm afraid that even the Kublai Khan and the Bara tribe themselves don't know how much blood they have on each other,

This also led to the Kublai Khan and the Eight Tribes can be said to be enemies to each other, very red, the previous rush into the steppe Eight Tribes slaughtered, burned many small tribes, in the Kublai Khan Department caused a great shock, and even finally made Kublai Khan have to order the mobilization of troops to encircle and suppress, only to force the Eight Lai had to leave.

And now that the Eight Rak Tribes are back, and the Kublai Khan Ministry wants to surrender and merge with the Eight Raka Tribes, they also have to consider whether this enemy will show mercy, after all, the Eight Rak are known for their cruelty and easy killing.

"It's a good thing that Mongolian Tatars eat dogs, why is Shangzhu still so worried?" Jiang Hao couldn't help but ask, "If the Mongolian Tartars are fighting with Lin Lai, they will definitely be completely injured, and when the time comes, we will only need"

Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice: "If it's just two Mongolian tribes dog eat dog, it doesn't matter, but the place where they want to fight is Helin, which means that the gold and silver treasures, antique cultural relics and a large number of skilled craftsmen collected by the Mongols in the past few decades, as well as more people who have been taken captive north of China, will be forced to be involved in this war." These treasures were snatched by Mongolian Tatars from various countries, including the former Song Dynasty and the Jurchens, and even the treasures that were robbed north during the Northern Song Dynasty. That's it, and those craftsmen, the Mongolian Tartars rely on this group of craftsmen to build and produce Huihui cannons and other large equipment, the Ministry of Industry refers to what the name wants, if you don't want to offend the Ministry of Industry, we have to hurry up to keep and keep Helin. ”

Jiang Hao, Li Fu and the others immediately frowned, and they all fell silent.

If you want to say who is the most offended by the army, except for Your Majesty, it must be the Ministry of Industry, the reason why the Ming army can stand in this place, the Ministry of Industry has made great contributions, and the army in order to be able to use better weapons, naturally has always been with the Ministry of Industry.
