Everything went according to plan! The Jiannu outside the gate are preparing to conquer the Central Plains again in the coming year! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is also grasping the construction of his own rich country and strong army, his space is very small, as long as the Gyeonggi region is a little bit of place, and the Gyeonggi region, in fact, Beijing and Tianjin can make a fuss, other Hebei, not richer than Henan and Shaanxi, the north of the Ming Dynasty is really much worse than the south of the Ming Dynasty, with the current economic strength, in fact, ten Gyeonggi regions are not as good as a Jiangsu!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen focused on the construction of ironclad ships, on the one hand, because the difference between the north and the south was too great, he urgently needed to strengthen the connection between the Gyeonggi region and the rich Jiangnan region, on the other hand, the pirates of the Japanese pirates, the European pirates led by the Dutch, and the scattered pirates of the Ming Dynasty led by Xu Xinsu were too powerful, completely relying on Zheng Zhilong, on the one hand, he was unwilling to let Zheng Zhilong become bigger, on the other hand, when Zheng Zhilong became bigger, the Ming Dynasty was basically finished, and he had to take his fate into his own hands!

Those high-yielding crops brought back from modern times are at most a palliative rather than a cure! It is impossible to fundamentally change the current situation, where is the north going to farm now? Disasters everywhere!

"Your Majesty, why did you go to Tianjin?" Empress Zhou lay in the arms of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, and the two of them sat in the dragon chariot.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "In order to make you no longer afraid?" In fact, it is much more appropriate to put the capital in Tianjin than in Beijing, and the future transportation will be convenient, in fact, it is almost the same wherever it is placed. In Tianjin, you can attack and retreat, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. Grandma doesn't have to worry about it. I don't want her to be old at this age. And live like this. ”

Zheng Yuelin nodded, she didn't have any opinion on moving the capital to Tianjin, and the emperor didn't say that he would officially move the capital, saying that Beijing City was being rebuilt, and it was only temporary, "The concubine heard that you received a Zheng Yuelin." Will you not bring her into the palace? You also accepted a Mongolian Taisong Gege and a Manchu woman Su Mo'er, don't you give them a name? ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sweated, he did not forget about Zheng Yuelin, nor did he forget that he put it in the palace, but he never arranged the name of Tai Song Gege and Su Mo'er, I don't know how to talk to the queen, Tai Song Gege and Su Mo'er are both interracial women, Da Ming has no precedent? Moreover, Zheng Yuelin was originally her own female official in front of the palace, and she became an emperor and got the female official in front of her. It doesn't seem to be a very glamorous thing, "You can do it." You help me deal with it. ”

Empress Zhou raised her head, looked at the emperor and smiled slightly, "The concubine won't help you deal with it, the emperor's family affairs are also state affairs, I don't want people to say that I am in politics, how can the concubine deal with such a big matter for you?" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Then let's let it go first, I'm not in a hurry, I drank some wine, I also had a romantic time, and in my heart, only Ke'er is enough." ”

Empress Zhou sneered, and put her head against the emperor's chest, "If you don't have the right mouth, you will coax people, how many women the emperor has, it's a very common thing, besides, the concubines also know who the emperor likes?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen Khan, knowing that Zhou Ke'er was hinting at Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan again, didn't want to discuss this topic anymore.

The rapid development of the ironclad era meant that many ships were obsolete and obsolete when they were completed, and the art of naval warfare was advancing by leaps and bounds. Many newly-built ironclad ships were equipped with ramming devices (angles of attack) or torpedoes, which many warship designers considered to be key weapons in naval warfare. There is no clear end to the Ironclad era, but by the end of the 19th century, the term "Ironclad" was rarely used. Newer ships have more powerful capabilities, and are often referred to as combat ships or armored cruisers.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen did not slow down his industrialization process, he used the knowledge he mastered in modern times to quickly get power stations and large boilers out to make steel and iron! Although the quality of this steel is not comparable to that of modern times, it is very advanced in this era!

Xu Guangqi stood next to the boiler with the emperor, the specific principle, the emperor had already told him!

Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, pointed to the iron-making furnace, "Most of the iron-making uses blast furnace iron-making, and some of them use the direct reduction iron-making method and the electric furnace iron-making method. Blast furnace ironmaking is to reduce iron ore in the blast furnace, melt and smelt into pig iron, this method is easy to operate, low energy consumption, low cost, can be produced in large quantities. Pig iron is mostly used as a raw material for steelmaking, except for some of the castings. Due to the increasing shortage of high-quality coke coal suitable for blast furnace smelting, non-blast furnace ironmaking methods have emerged one after another, using other energy sources instead of coke. The direct reduction ironmaking method is to reduce the ore in a solid state with gas or solid reducing agent, and at a lower than the ore melting temperature, it is smelted into solid or semi-molten sponge iron, metallized pellets or granular iron containing a small amount of impurity elements, which are used as raw materials for steelmaking (can also be used as raw materials for blast furnace ironmaking or casting). In the electric furnace ironmaking method, a reduction electric furnace without a furnace body is mostly used, and coke (or coal and charcoal) with poor strength can be used as a reducing agent. Electric heating of electric furnace ironmaking replaces part of coke, and low-grade coke can be used, but it consumes a lot of electricity and can only be used under the conditions of sufficient electricity and low electricity price. ”

"Your Majesty, how did you come up with these things, the old minister really admires it." Xu Guangqi said sincerely.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is not ashamed, these things are all he used time to understand, even if these things can't help him immediately build high-end guns, but they will definitely help the economy of the entire Ming Dynasty! "It doesn't matter how I came up with it, the key teacher has to find a way to make high-quality steel! Guns and cannons are built by this steel! And whether the ironclad ship can come out also depends on the quality of this steel. ”

Of course, Xu Guangqi knew how important these were to Daming! As the most outstanding scientist in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi's eyes are much ahead of the times, but no matter how much, he can't keep up with the emperor's brain.

Xu Guangqi didn't understand it, but the emperor told him about building an iron ship, and the first thing he thought of was, "Your Majesty, no matter how good this iron is, it can be made at most a good sword, but no matter how good the sword is, it will still rust after a long time?" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't know how to explain it, and fell into deep thought, he figured out the principles of these things, but the technology he mastered was completely insufficient! (To be continued......)
