Chapter 168: Success for his mother

According to historical data, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion that Sun Yuanhua is a good person, but his skills as an official are very fashionable. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming and others were not tolerated by Huanglong at that time, so they were recruited by him to his command. These desperate people followed Sun Yuanhua to Dengzhou, and for more than a year, Sun Yuanhua did not contain the hearts of these people. In the Wuqiao Revolution next year, he followed Kong Youde to break Dengzhou and capture Sun Yuanhua and other officials alive. It's really a shame for Nima.

Paying close attention to the history of the late Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to find a phenomenon that Guan Ningjun's ancestor Dashou repeatedly refused to go to Beijing to report on his work, but the court was stunned and did not treat him to anything. It is not difficult to see from this that although the majesty of the imperial court is still there, it is no longer possible for civilian officials to control some powerful warlords. Probably Sun Yuanhua and Kong Youde have such a relationship, or the civil officials have never taken military attachés seriously. Even if they knew that they couldn't help these military attachés, they could only adopt an attitude of ignoring them. In fact, there is only one root, and these people are needed to fight.

A very significant example, in the Battle of Songshan, Wang Pu was the first to run away, and when there were no soldiers and no generals, the court would take him to the knife. Wu Sangui, who ran away with him, was still promoted because his strength was still there, and he could still be promoted if he didn't have any.

Chen Xie does not believe that civil servants do not see the danger of this phenomenon, and the only explanation is that they are powerless. It was precisely because of the incompetence, greed, and corruption of the civilian-bureaucratic clique that the fall of the Ming Dynasty was accelerated. When the dynasty changed, a large number of literati quickly fell to the Manchu regime and insisted on fighting to the end. It turned out to be the former rogue Li Dingguo and others.

Some people say that in the last years of Chongzhen, Daming can only be described as exhausted, and he thinks otherwise, in fact, as long as Chongzhen chooses to go south when Li Zicheng enters Beijing, decisively abandons the north of the Yellow River, and after arriving in Nanjing, with the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not difficult to hold on for a few more decades.

To get back to the point, Sun Yuanhua was soon fooled and lame by Chen Xie, and followed Chen Xie back to Zhangjiazhuang. Still asking Chen Xie how to make iron? Chen Xie just sued him. Come back tomorrow and see how iron is smelted. Sun Yuanhua said that he could watch it overnight, and it was really the essence of the technology nerd.

In the end, Chen Xie persuaded Sun Yuanhua to go back, and he didn't remember it until Sun Yuanhua was on the road. "What am I doing?" At this time. It's already five miles away. Looking at the road on the ground, there is also the carriage speeding through Tatata. Oh, Chen Xie gave his special car. You can also come by car tomorrow. When he got off the cement road, Sun Yuanhua was distracted again, but he didn't feel anything about the three-mile road before, but now he has an unbearable mood.

Sending Sun Yuanhua away, Chen Xie finally got a short period of peace, and history must have changed at this time. But can this direction of change be considered manipulative? Kong Youde and these people, even if they can fight again, Chen Xie has no intention of leaving them a way to live, traitors are traitors, even if they don't have the opportunity to be traitors, it will not hurt their bottomless nature.

Well, through guò ironmaking, pull Sun Yuanhua into technical research? Stalling for time, let him concentrate on technology, and not to build that kind of bulky artillery? Well, this idea can be extended a bit. And Sun Yuanhua seems to have brought a group of Europeans here, if these people can speak Chinese, then they must be accepted and fast. It doesn't matter if you don't know Chinese, learn!

Well, in the heart of every dick, there is a dream related to the sea of stars. Chen Xie's dream of the sea has always been there.

At night, after dinner, Chen Xie began to sort out the information in his hand, and these printouts downloaded from the Internet naturally could not be given to Sun Yuanhua in full. You have to go through your own processing before you can give it to him. As a medical student, Chen Xie's understanding of steel making is very blank, and it is okay to talk about a little pure theory, but if you want to say that you can do it yourself, it is really a foreign appearance.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of good craftsmen in Daming, and there is no shortage of coal in Shandong, and the specific iron-making technology has not been solved, but the problem of coke has been solved. The technology of soil coking has a large number of mature experience and technical data to learn from in modern society.

Sun Yuanhua came early the next morning, and this technocrat had no intention of doing government affairs and rushed into Zhangjiazhuang. Under the seduction of Chen Xie, Sun Yuanhua was already fantasizing that he could also build that kind of light artillery. Objectively speaking, at this stage, from the perspective of technology and cost performance, the best equipment is undoubtedly Napoleon guns, and smoothbore guns with low technical content will not appear too bulky to affect transportation.

It's a pity that Sun Yuanhua has been completely taken into the ditch by Chen Xie, and he didn't eat in the morning, so he brought a dozen or so white-skinned and red-haired foreign devils to Zhangjiazhuang. Chen Xie was waiting at the entrance of Zhuangzi, and when he saw these red-haired devils, he was very satisfied.

The red-haired ghosts such as Xilaojing, Lu Weiliu, Fulang Aranda, Fangsi Valley, Ehonglu, Gongsalu, Anni, Amier, Sacong, Amdo, Wu Ruowang, and Peterolu were also very interested in Sun Yuanhua's flickering. They were stunned when they heard that there was a kind of American cannon that could shoot accurately from a distance of 1,500 meters.

Foreign devils are not Ming people, especially these devils who were born in the Great Voyage, naturally they do not believe in evil. In these years, the best field cannon can only be a bronze cannon, I don't read much, don't lie to me.

So everyone came, Chen Xie met their requirements very enthusiastically, and after observing the shooting performance of a rifled gun on the spot, the foreign devils were dumbfounded. It turns out that there really is such a thing, and it can really do this. There is no doubt that from the perspective of Westerners, this is a manifestation of the level of science and technology.

The head of the devil of Xilao Jing said in jerky Chinese in front of Sun Yuanhua: "General, as far as I know, there are only some natives in the Americas, and their scientific and technological level cannot make such cannons at all. ”

Chen Xie smiled and asked, "Are you doubting my character?" Mr. Silaojing, the earth is very large, and the New World discovered by Columbus is just a drop in the bucket of the unknown world. The indigenous people that Western countries see in Africa and South America are indeed relatively backward. However, as far as I know, the Spaniards were able to defeat the natives not by advanced weapons and tactics, but by the plague. ”

The words stunned the foreign devils, because what they said did make sense. It's not news that the indigenous people of South America are dying in large numbers from the plague.

"Again, if I'm not mistaken, Portugal is not yet an independent country." Chen Xie made up another knife, this time, a group of red-haired ghosts were honest, they were all Portuguese.

Chen Xie didn't worry about the foreigners learning the technology at all, the only thing they could learn was the soil method of coking, and other things were not something they could figure out at all, even if they told them the principle, they couldn't copy it. There's no way, the technology fault line is too deep. Not to mention the steel desulfurization and dephosphorization technology, they can't make refractory bricks, and Chen Xie is transported from modern society.

There is no shadow of a modern steelmaking plant in the steelmaking workshop, and a group of Ming Dynasty craftsmen have repeatedly tried countless times, and they have paid the price of more than a dozen people for disability, and finally found a set of relatively safe technological processes. As for the issue of human life, human life in the Ming Dynasty was not valuable, so it will not be emphasized in the future.

Of course, in Master Chen's workshop, no craftsman would not feel abused. Especially those craftsmen from Nanjing, they are even more grateful to Master Chen. In the past, in the Ordnance Bureau, it was not human treatment. When I got here, I still did the same job, but the treatment was completely different. There is a lot of wages, a lot of labor insurance, you can drink chilled mung bean soup when you work hot, you can eat well, there are two meals of meat a day, where to find such a good master? It was worth selling his life to him.

There are only three things in this workshop that belong to modern society, one is a refractory brick, one is a crucible, and the other is a ladle. There is no way, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to solve these problems at all, otherwise desulfurization and dephosphorization will be a joke. Of course, this time the process of producing molten iron is only one of the countless real yàn. These craftsmen, although they know how to do it, have not yet completely mastered this technique.

After witnessing the process of baking a furnace of molten iron, Sun Yuanhua couldn't wait to practice his casting cannon. Chen Xie is also very cooperative, asking people to give people, and iron to iron. As long as he is addicted to technology and doesn't waste time on government affairs. Chen Xie also needed the governor Lao Ye Tongguò's failed casting cannon to verify the quality of pig iron. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no way to do any testing, and he could only be tossed by his mother again and again in the real yàn.

The simple factory, the simple process, the repeated practice, all the processes are recorded, and they are slowly groping forward. This is what Chen Xie did for the steel industry of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely not be able to rely on him alone, and it will not work forever on modern steel. Then the crazy computer that day said, "Your time travel is over." "And then there is no more.

Sun Yuanhua took a group of foreign devils and threw himself into the enthusiastic cannon casting test, of course, now they are still playing clay fan cannon casting, not to mention the backwardness of this process, anyway, Chen Xie will not say to Sun Yuanhua now: "Dear, why not use Tiefan?" "This has to wait until Kong Youde makes leaps and bounds on the road of rebellion and plays himself to death.

A month later, Sun Yuanhua used the iron practiced by Chen Xie to cast a cannon, and the effect of trial and error was obviously much better than before. In particular, the quality of iron has improved a lot, but if you want to reach the level of Chen Xie's equipment, there is still an insurmountable gap. Sun Yuanhua went to find Chen Xie again, but was gambled back by Chen Xie's words: "I know everything to tell you, if you want to defeat the level of existing equipment, the key lies in two points, first, iron-making technology, and second, the process improvement of cannon casting." Don't worry, failure is the mother of success. ”

Sun Yuanhua felt that Chen Xie didn't need to fool him, and what he said was very reasonable, so he turned around and went back to continue to work hard. (To be continued......)
