Chapter 114: Sun Yuanhua

Yang Gengai was indignant for a long time about the civil elite burning the navigation charts and shipbuilding materials of the eunuchs.

However, if it is not uneven, it will not be fair, and you still have to do things on your own side.

Now, do you want to build a ship? Who goes to train the sailors? When did Zheng Zhilong make trouble? When is Zhao'an? Hard, hard, hard.

I am in distress.

Wang Chengen reported: "Your Majesty, the two masters Sun and Xu and Li Zubai have arrived at ......" Wang Chengen reminded softly.

When Yang Reform was extremely troubled, these people arrived, and it happened that they could ask their "advisers", and no one knew these things in the Ming Dynasty better than them.

"See, immediately."

……

"Minister, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Li Zubai saluted the emperor together.

"Get up, companion, and take a seat for the two masters."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen personally moved chairs for the two old men.

Li Zubai stood alone with a grovel eye, looking at the seats of the two court bigwigs who came in with him, and was very envious, thinking about when he would be able to climb to this step! But just think about it, he is an "official" of the Qin Heavenly Prison, and being able to be summoned by the emperor is to open the grace of heaven, and he still expects to have a chair to sit on? Think beautifully. There is still self-knowledge of this.

"I don't know what happened to His Majesty's recruitment of ministers?" Sun Chengzong asked, looking at the warm pavilion, there were other people, Jinyiwei, and the big eunuch. I don't know what it is, so many people.

"Hehe, in this way, I have recruited 1,500 warriors to sail around the world, but my ship has not yet landed, and I don't know who will build ships. didn't land, this sea is just empty words! The two masters can have suitable candidates to recommend to me. ”

If you want to say that the connections in this Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi are really much wider than Chongzhen, this emperor stays in the "Palace Museum" all day long, stays at home all day long, and contacts are not ** eunuchs and palace maids, or ministers and guards, and other people, it is difficult to approach, so if you want to say who has the ability and who has the talent, your eyes are black.

Yang Reform actually has a case for shipbuilding in his heart, and there are really no talented people, so let Zheng Huaizhong build it, these three treasure eunuchs can build treasure ships, why can't Zheng Huaizhong build it in the same Ming Dynasty? There is no reason why this thing that can be made at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty cannot be made at the end of the Ming Dynasty! There is no gradation difference between the technology of the early and late Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to shipbuilding, the minister has a recommendation, this person also studied with the minister in his early years, assisted the minister in translating and sorting out Western books, and also wrote his own works, he is a very talented person. ”

Yang Reform was excited when he heard it, Xu Guangqi's apprentice? is very talented, I am really looking forward to it, I hope Xu Guangqi can give himself a big surprise.

"Come on, who is this?" Yang Reform can't wait.

"Your Majesty, this person's surname is Sun, his name is Yuanhua, the word is Chuyang, he is a fellow villager of the minister, and he has raised people in the forty years of Wanli......" Xu Guangqi said unhurriedly. I have great confidence in this person, and I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely appreciate this person's talent.

Sun Yuanhua? Hehe, I bumped into a famous person in history again. The celebrities in this history are almost piled up. Yang Reform was a little happy. Sun Yuanhua is also a historical celebrity! Legend has it that he was very good at making cannons. Yuan Chonghuan's cannon was built with his help.

Halfway through Xu Guangqi's introduction, he found that the emperor's face was happy and happy, and he said, "...... Could it be that His Majesty also knows this person? As soon as Xu Guangqi's words were finished, he also wondered, how could this emperor know a person who stayed in the palace for a day?

"Hehe, Master Xu, I don't know this person, but I've heard of this person's name, I heard, it's a Western artillery expert? It's great to build a cannon? Yang was happy. With the help of this historical celebrity, there is no need to rush to build a cannon by himself, and he has now landed a little bit of the musket, this artillery has not yet landed, I don't know who to make it, it really can't be done, Yang Reform is ready to let Xu Guangqi be responsible for building cannons, but this Xu Guangqi is responsible for too many things, and Yang Reform does not intend to add too much burden to this old man, and he is in a dilemma.

Xu Guangqi felt that this was more in line with common sense, Sun Yuanhua was his own student, and he knew more about Western technology, and the emperor who liked novelty gadgets was not surprised to hear of his reputation.

"Your Majesty, it's true, although Chu Yang is a man, he has written "Taixi Calculation", "Geometric Usage", "Geometric Body Theory", "Western Miscellaneous Works", as well as "Western Law Divine Machine" ...... that specifically introduces Western cannon casting, gunpowder making, fort building, etc., and has a lot of experience in building artillery, and has assisted Yuan Ziru in casting artillery and defending Ningyuan." Xu Guangqi took great care of Sun Yuanhua, and in front of the emperor Sun Yuanhua's glorious history, one by one, in front of the emperor to raise Sun Yuanhua, Xu Guangqi believed that the emperor who loved novelty objects, listened to his introduction, and would definitely be very interested in Sun Yuanhua, and his student Sun Yuanhua had his own recommendation, and it was not difficult to get ahead.

"Then where is Sun Yuanhua now?" Yang Gengai was eager to get Sun Yuanhua to the capital and make cannons for his new army.

"Your Majesty, you are still in the army in Liaodong and help defend Ningyuan."

Sure enough, he is also a Niu B character, seeing that the world is wrong, and he dares to go to the battlefield as a literati, not to mention the great truth of saving the country and saving the people, this dare to defend the lonely city with Yuan Chonghuan, it can be regarded as a fat courage, much stronger than the kind of rotten Confucianism who fled for 300 miles when he heard the wind.

"Very good, dare to break through in this battle array, you can be regarded as a courageous person, and there is a recommendation from Master Xu, then immediately recruit Sun Yuanhua to return to Beijing, and there is a ...... for reuse" Yang Reform's plan is to recruit Sun Yuanhua back to make a cannon for himself, and when it comes to reuse, I remembered that when Xu Guangqi recommended it, he asked about shipbuilding! This? Could it be that Sun Yuanhua can still build a ship? This one? It's not clear now, but I dream of going back to Baidu at night to check?

Well, let's ask Xu Guangqi, since you dare to recommend Sun Yuanhua to build a ship, you must be a little sure that you won't let off empty cannons.

"Master Xu, can this Sun Yuanhua still build ships?" Yang Gengai asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, Chu Yang he has made friends with a lot of Western priests, these priests, all of them have a skill, some are good at making artillery, some are good at shipbuilding, some are good at training sergeants, some are good at medicine, some days ago, Chu Yang wrote that he was discussing Western shipbuilding with some Westerners, and he had a lot of experience, so the minister dared to recommend him." Xu Guangqi is Sun Yuanhua's teacher, so he naturally takes special care of his students, and often writes to each other to inform him of his recent situation, which is very normal.

Western clergy? Shipbuilding? Cast cannons? Training soldiers? Medicine? When Yang Gai listened to Xu Guangqi's words, he felt that how could this be a Westerner colonizing his own land! It's too unpleasant, I haven't been there yet, and the people over there have all come over and colonized themselves, and it doesn't feel good to be colonized. Very unpleasant.

Think about it, and feel that this is not to blame others, you don't develop, can you blame others for being more advanced than you and more enterprising than you? This matter has to be considered in the long run, this Western priest can build ships and cannons, and Sun Yuanhua can also build them, so let these people come to the capital and see how far the Western technology has developed. Maybe you can also learn some Western technology.

Yang Reform, who had figured it out, changed his face from the unkindness just now to kindness, and said: "Then since this is the case, then recruit all those Western priests into Beijing, and Sun Yuanhua will also enter Beijing immediately." "Yang Reform gave the order.

……

There are shipbuilders, but the people who train them have not yet landed, so Yang Gaiai said: "There are people who build ships, but what about the people who train to drive ships to sea?" Two masters, who can recommend them? ”

Yang Reform once again pinned his hopes on the two masters.

Xu Guangqi did not live up to the high hopes of Emperor Chongzhen Yang's reform, and immediately took over the conversation, and said: "Your Majesty, among these Western priests, there are those who specialize in training sailors, and I want Westerners to cross the sea for tens of thousands of miles to come to my Daming, presumably, they also have experience in driving ships, Your Majesty wants to sail around the world, this journey is more distant than coming from the West, why not see what tricks this Westerners have?" There will be something to learn from. ”

Xu Guangqi boldly recommended Western priests to train the navy.

¥%……%…… Yang Reform has mixed feelings in his heart. Do you also use Westerners as naval instructors? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty has no talents to train the navy? Do you really have to wait until Zheng Zhilong recruits An? But who knows when he will "alarm" the court? Another one, Zheng Zhilong's family is also mixed up in the South Seas, and when it comes to ocean sailing, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Westerners still played more well.

Thinking about it again, Xu Guangqi was not wrong, others flew tens of thousands of miles across the sea to come to the Ming Dynasty, and they obviously had some ability and ability. Others are seeking progress and progress, but they are stagnant and their skills are not as good as others, who is to blame?
