Wu Mu casually laid out two sentences, and then scolded, of course, the object was the evil Donglin Party in his eyes. Originally, with the help of the attack case, the Donglin Party had already made a big noise, followed by the unwarranted Red Pill case, and by this time, the Donglin Party had beaten the political opponents to the point that they could not raise their heads. As for the palace transfer case, it is the icing on the cake, the adoptive mother of the apocalypse, Li Xuanzhi, wants her mother to be the queen mother with her son, and the Donglin Party insists that she wants to make trouble. A group of ministers snatched the apocalypse away first, and then ran to the temple gate every day. went to scold the street, and finally blasted this crying little widow out of the palace, and went to the Donglin Party for the third time, and made a great contribution to the Qingtian Baosheji.

In the third year of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party drove all dissidents out of the Beijing Division with the help of Jingcha, and for a time, only the officials of the Donglin Department were above the court, and Huang Shi, who had seen the history of the Ming Dynasty, also praised it as "the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty" at this time. According to the history of Wu Mu's scolding, Huang Shi also heard about it, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the appointment of officials below the third grade does not need to be approved by the emperor...... Therefore, Huang Shi had long known that a certain Qing literati had slandered the officials of the Wanli Dynasty and that nine out of ten officials in the world were nonsense -- this matter was not in the hands of the Ming Emperor at all.

Officials above the third rank should be pushed by the courtiers, and then the list should be reported to the Son of Heaven. The Son of the Apocalypse, who has not been long-eyed for four years, has changed the order of the list that will be pushed. changed the candidate who came second to the first, which immediately stabbed the hornet's nest of the Donglin Party. In fact, no one knew whether this was the emperor's intention, and the Donglin Party also started from this question, and they questioned Tianqi, whether this was his meaning or the idea of the eunuchs in the inner court.

From the perspective of Huangshi's personal writings, he is very much in favor of the Ming Dynasty's hypocrisy system, and the scholars of the Wenyuan Pavilion who have been through ups and downs for a long time and can get into the cabinet are all human beings, far better than an emperor who is longer than the inner palace, and knows how to govern the country better. Since Zhu Di established the cabinet system, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty could travel, go to war, and go to alchemy. You can also go to the carpenter's job, as long as you are self-aware—I'm certainly not as smart as the people in the outer court.

In fact, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all had this kind of self-knowledge. Jiajing did not change a single word of the cabinet vote for 10 years, Wanli did not reject an annual examination of officials and the appointment of the Ming emperor, and pursued a policy similar to that of the responsible cabinet system in later generations -- if you do a good job, if you do a good job, if you don't do a good job, the cabinet ministers will get out.

But the apocalypse obviously did not have the cultivation of his ancestors, and the young son of heaven came forward to tell the courtiers that this change was his idea, which undoubtedly added fuel to the anger of the Wenchen group. But they could not say that the emperor was wrong. Because the emperor theoretically has this power, but precisely because this power is only theoretical, it has not been customary for many years. Therefore, starting in June of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the overwhelming bullet survey chapter pointed to Wei Zhongxian, a close minister of the Apocalypse, and the Donglin Party demanded that the Apocalypse "be angry and add three feet" to rake Wei Zhongxian to show the public.

Wei Zhongxian was so frightened that he hugged Apocalypse's thigh several times and cried bitterly...... Of course, this is not what Wu Mu said.

Wei Zhongxian also summoned his pair of diners to hug Apocalypse's leg and cry...... Of course, this is not what Wu Mu said.

By October of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the attack on Wei Zhongxian had lasted for more than three months.

"The Holy One. is really a kingless and fatherless rebel minister and thief. Wu Mu scolded indignantly.

If it was Huang Shi's previous life, there might be many people who would sympathize with the situation of the Apocalypse, but Huang Shi knew that if his sentence of approval was circulated, it would be enough to make him discredited at the end of the Ming Dynasty, because these Ming ministers adhered to the tradition of "the king and the scholar rule the world together" in China since ancient times. Huazhi's Confucian tradition is that "governance and Taoism are separated", and the emperor holds the Taoist system, while the scholars and doctors have the ruling system. Before Meng Yuan, Huaxia dared to beat the courtiers only Boss Zhao, that Qiu Ba, after the incident, although he apologized desperately, he was still scolded.

Huang Shi agreed in a low voice: "What Gonggong Wu said is true." ”

Although the Ming did not learn well and inherited the "court staff" from Mongolia, Confucianism still had integrity at this time. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who is known as the most brutal, once had a Confucian student refuse to bow down to him, and Zhu Hongwu would also praise this Confucian student for having "the style of an ancient virtuous minister". Able to say, "The Tao is in the rule and the rule is in the yes". A certain dynasty that turned the world's intellectuals into slaves has not yet arrived, and the emperors of the previous dynasties in China have a naked dictatorship, which is what Confucianism calls "no way", and those who support the emperor's dictatorship are "traitors".

Therefore, this sentence of approval made Wu Mu very happy, and he thought that this scripture was Huang Shi's clear statement: "When Guangning was in turmoil, General Huang was there, and Gonggong Wei hoped that General Huang could write what he saw and present it to the Son of Heaven." ”

The retrial of the Guangning fiasco was an important battle for the eunuchs to defeat the Donglin Party, and Wei Zhongxian successfully proved to the apocalypse that the Donglin Party's ** and selfishness, and caught the sore feet of the Donglin Party. Yellowstone is probably the most weighty witness, and his present exploits and the actions on the spot at the time would make his statement indisputably persuasive.

"Is this letter from Gonggong Wu sent to the General Administration with the power of the last general?" Huang Shi knew that once this matter was exposed. His reputation is ruined.

"Holy Wise General Huang don't have to worry. "Wu Mu's meaning is very good, Chu Eunuch Party needs this information as a bomb.

"The last general is humble and light, and I am afraid that no one will listen to what he says. "Huang Shi knew that Wei Zhongxian would win, but the apocalypse would not live for a few years, and Wei Zhongxian would not be able to cover the sky forever.

"General Huang has a great future, and Dongjiang Town should also open an association, and Gonggong Wei thinks that General Huang is the right person for the deputy general," Seeing that Huang Shi's face was cloudy, he hurriedly added: "It is only a matter of time before General Huang opens the town." Wu Mu also threw out a large piece of carrot.

"It's been so long since this matter, the last general is just a martial artist, not the imperial history, I'm afraid this matter won't be the turn of the last general to play the chapter, let alone the last general's turn to impeach Wenchen. "Huang Shi's face was cloudy because he was worried that he was going to be unlucky—when Wei Zhongxian died, the Donglin Party would not forget that I had fallen into the well today.

"That's what General Huang said. Wu Mu understood what Huang Shi meant to force him again, and everyone would be scattered, he looked at Huang Shi's face - this guy is still too timid, but it's a pity that he has prepared a lot of wealth for him.

Wu Mu clapped his hands: "Then let's write it, General Huang said that our family recorded it, and then our family secretly folded it to the palace." "As long as the Son of Heaven believes in Huangshi's words, then Wei Zhongxian will also win a city.

Huang Shi knew if he had his own report, Wei Zhongxian had also won, and Tianqi would still believe him instead of the Donglin Party, so that he would get a safe favor. Anyway, Huang Shi would never rush to the front to be cannon fodder, and he let out a sigh: "What does Gonggong Wei say about the last general?"

Trading starts......

After writing the letter, Wu Mu drove the master out. There were two more people left in the room, he took out a small seal, pressed it, then grabbed the pen and handed it over, and said to Huang Shi with a smile on his face: "General Huang, please." ”

Huang Shi took the pen with a stern face, and the pen seemed to have a thousand weights. Refusing to fall.

Wu Mu couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with General Huang?"

Huang Shi smiled bitterly and shook the joint: "The thousand armors of the last general will fly with this stroke." ”

These words made Wu Muhaha laugh: "What's so great about a thousand armors, how can they fly?"

"A thousand pieces of armor is nothing remarkable, but what about a thousand good pieces of iron armor?" Huang Shi successfully aroused Wu Mu's curiosity, and then said in a flat tone about the iron armor that Sun Chengzong gave him.

Suddenly discolored, Wu Mu opened his mouth and stammered for a long time before he anxiously asked, "How much silver are these iron armors worth?" What did Sun Gebu ask General Huang to write?"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver. ”

One sentence choked Wu Mu so much that he couldn't speak. After a while, he muttered, "100,000 taels is a lot of money." ”

During this period, Huang Shi had already signed his name after the recital, and then put down his pen and dried the ink, and Wu Mu stammered: "Since you have arrived on Changsheng Island, you can't take it back...... General Huang didn't write anything, did he?"

Wu Mu anxiously grabbed Huang Shi's arm and shook it desperately: "What did General Huang write? ”

"Of course these thousand bodies won't fly," Huang Shi handed the cantata to Wu Mu, who took it dementedly, and Huang Shi held his signature attached to the cantata and said, "Since you have this general, you will never write anything to Sun Gebu again." The last general reported 2,000 soldiers. Sun Gebu said that he would give a thousand iron armor first, and the last general would say the next 1,000. ”

After glancing at the armor and sword given to Huang Shidi in shame, Wu Mu took a deep breath and slapped his thigh fiercely: "General Huang, don't worry, isn't it just 100,000 taels of silver? After finishing speaking, Wu Mu was also a little lacking in confidence. Se Li added another sentence inwardly: "One hundred thousand taels is nothing, General Huang should be trusted, and Father-in-law Wei can rest assured, although rest assured." ”

After leaving Wu Mu's residence, Huang Shi tried his best to hold back and not let himself laugh wildly -- If you don't knock on Wei Zhongxian's bamboo shoulder, who will you knock? If Mao Wenlong is a man like me, how can he make Dongjiang Town only pay more than 200,000 taels a year?

Apocalypse in the middle of October of the fourth year.

Huang Shi led a senior and middle-level officer to visit the test run of the hydraulic forging machine, and the six iron screws, driven by the hydraulic force, slowly rotated in the nuts, pushing the hard mold to a rectangular wrought iron plate. Previous tests have yielded a suitable degree of iron plate, which is twisted but not fractured.

After the mold was withdrawn, Huangshi proudly took out the finished rectangular iron plate, which had been turned into a curved mask, and after replacing the mold and casting, the hydraulic forging machine forged a smooth helmet.

"In the past, it took at least half a day for a blacksmith to make a helmet, and last time we used a new helmet with a mask for a day. As he spoke, Huang Shi put the two finished products in his hand on his head and put them together into a complete mask helmet, and he hid behind the mask and made a buzzing voice: "Now the blacksmith has to do just punch holes and bolt up, and the two blacksmiths can complete at least twenty helmets a day by operating this hydraulic forging machine, and this is still under the condition that the water power of my Changsheng Island is insufficient." ”

Helmets don't actually need to be made, most of the equipment needed is masks, and it is enough to make a few holes in the old-fashioned helmet, Huang Shi thinks that the pig iron given by Sun Chengzong is for him to use for this, and when he visited Changsheng Island last time, Huang Shi had already said that the helmets would be transformed, and there was no helmet in the materials sent this time.

After taking off the helmet, Huang Shi saw that Duncan on the side seemed to want to speak again, and he said impatiently: "Duncan, I know what you have to say, that is, if these manpower had been used to make helmets in the early days, we would have made thousands of helmets, right? ”

"What improvement?" He Dingyuan hurriedly interjected.

"I don't know. Huang Shi shrugged: "I'm not an immortal, how can I know what improvements are needed in the future." Pointing to the waterwheel, he added: "But once we show up." The watermill was able to produce the equipment we needed in no time, and it also saved valuable coal and charcoal. ”

"The general misunderstood me," Duncan found an opportunity to interject, he blinked and looked at the waterwheel solemnly: "What I think is actually the hydraulic problem, the reservoir can only make the waterwheel work for an hour every day. However, the general built a hydraulic rolling mill, and said that he would use a waterwheel to drive the blast to make iron, and a water-powered boring machine to grind cannons, so many machines were driven by a waterwheel. ”

Fan Leyou also spoke: "I remember that the general said that there is a way to solve the hydraulic problem so that the waterwheel can run, and I don't know when the general plans to sue us for this method." ”

"There is a way, but it requires manpower, and now there is not enough manpower. "Huangshi is using manpower to build weapons and armor. After the slack, all the wealthy men of Changsheng Island were dragged to help make gunpowder, sharpen fire guns and make spears. Yellowstone is still frantically training his recruits, and these actions have depleted the human resources of Immortal Island.

"Can you stop the other work first, wait for the waterwheel to run, and then talk about it?" Yang Zhiyuan also wanted to solve the water power problem as much as possible, after all, this thing had already cost money, money and time, and he was eager to turn these investments into power as soon as possible.

"I'm going to build a new reservoir, and I'm going ......to build a new reservoir," Huang Shi stopped halfway through his words, and he planned to build some windmills to carry water and reservoirs to store energy. Although a windmill cannot provide a steady power output, a windmill can have the strength of hundreds of people and do not know how to get tired. You don't have to eat food, it's a waste that the wind on the island is so strong. However, Huang Shi still shook his head now: "It's too long, it will take at least four thousand people to work for a few months." ”

As the saying goes, it is better to build a ship than to buy a ship, and it is better to rent a ship when it starts to make a profit. The ship that was built to buy a ship may have not been launched, and Huangshi also understands that heavy industry is a bottomless pit for burning money. But this is an exponential function of a big corner, once the training of skilled workers and mechanical manufacturing reaches a certain scale, the power brought by industry will grow explosively, and the value of creating a zào in a few years will be equivalent to that of the past hundred years.

Another change is weights and measures, Huangshi is based on the open palm of the screw blacksmith, the distance between the thumb and the little finger is 20 centimeters, 100 centimeters is one meter, one cubic decimeter, water is one liter, one liter of water is one kilogram, ice water mixture is zero, boiling water is 100. The time is copied from the clocks of the Jesus Society, twenty-four hours, one hour and sixty minutes a day.

However, the Yellowstone steelmaking plan failed, and although he built some caves and had craftsmen make crucibles, the pig iron refused to melt into liquid, and the limestone and sand were equally stubborn, so steel, glass, cement, and Yellowstone were not obtained. It's just that a few hundred taels of silver and a lot of manpower were thrown into it in vain.

In addition to this batch of materials, there are also ten blacksmiths, and these craftsmen Huangshi did not hesitate to change them all to military households, and they also got the appearance of a senior. The hard-working craftsman is now also dignified, and his name is also recorded in the welfare book, and after recovering Liaodong, this craftsman can get ten acres of land and a cow in Dongjiang Town.

The wrought iron cuirass is theoretically immune to bows and arrows, and the next step is to find a way to make steel. Undoubtedly, this still requires a lot of silver and manpower to be thrown in, but once the steel is refined, the armor can defend against broadswords and javelins, and by the way, let the Houjin people see what it means to sharpen iron like clay.

At the end of October in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the more strange the move of the two red flags became, and the red flags kept shrinking to the cities of Gaizhou and Fuzhou. The red flag simply withdrew from southern Liaoning and went to Shenyang to repair, according to the custom of Houjin, every spring when men turned fifteen years old to patch into the flag. According to the usual analysis, this flag may absorb some "excellent" Han troops into the flag, but this flag will no longer pose a threat until the rectification is completed.

The countryside of southern Liaoning became a paradise for the Dongjiang guerrillas for a while, and the contraction of the Jin field units made the local Han army panic and had to communicate with the Liaodong army all day long.

Mao Wenlong finally decided to turn to the direction of Lushun to open up the situation, and he ordered 10,000 strong men from the headquarters to be sent to Lushun.

Zhao Slowxiong asked Huang Shi in an ambiguous tone: "Mao Shuai hopes that General Zhang Pan can make a great contribution, right?"

In July, Huangshi dispersed the veterans to the newly established three infantry teams, and took the recruits to take them there, and after August, taking advantage of the slack farming, the five infantry teams and 2,000 soldiers on Changsheng Island practiced every day. A large number of veterans and officers with more and more experience have made the recruits grow up rapidly, and now Changsheng Island has received the strong support of Sun Chengzong, who is known as "impartial", not to mention the equipment, even the food that Huangshi got last time is definitely something that Lushun can't think of.

"Mao Shuai hopes that Zhang Pan is at least not too much worse than me. Huang Shi laughed happily: "But I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
