An epic earthquake suddenly occurred in the Ming officialdom, and Sun Chengzong, who was in charge of the Ming Dynasty, announced his resignation as the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. The second assistant Zhang Huangyan took over all the rights of Sun Chengzong, and the transfer of rights was completed almost within a day.

This caught many people who were counting on Sun Chengzong's ascension a little unprepared!

I know the rules of burning incense when I enter the temple, but now that I have changed the Bodhisattva, it used to be incense even if it was burned in vain.

In the past, the boundaries of the rights of the Ming Dynasty were quite clear, and Li Xiao almost didn't care about government affairs, except for military affairs.

Many officials mistakenly believe that the marshal is the marshal of the army, and the banner of the Sun family can stand for a long time. Because Sun Chengzong has been established for more than ten years, the old man in his seventies is still in good spirits, and some people believe that he can live to be 100 years old.

And now all of a sudden, it's ...... Stepped down, suddenly! It's so sudden!

Although the official statement is for health reasons, people who know the inside story say that it is a fool, and Mr. Sun is in good health enough to beat a dead tiger.

No one knows what kind of cat is here, if it weren't for Sun Chengzong's last trip to various departments and goodbye to some old subordinates, many people would still think that Sun Chengzong was directly killed.

The gun is in the hands of the Li family, and these Qiu Ba can't do anything.

The attentive people also found two things that didn't seem to be very important, the first was that the Marine Corps was forming the Fourth Division, and the commander of the Major General was a guy named Sun Zhijie.

Many old officers in the Liao military system don't know where this Sun Zhijie came from, I heard that he was a regiment commander before.

How can the commander of the main division be held by an "unknown person".

There is a lot of discussion in military circles, and political circles are not peaceful. Zhang Huangyan was promoted to the position of first assistant, but there was a young man who was too young to speak in the seat he left.

And......! Still a cripple.

There is an unwritten rule in the Ming officialdom that officials are not physically impaired. Except, of course, military officials. After all, these Qiu Ba are fighting and killing all day long, and it is normal for them to lack arms and legs.

But this is the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and the serious eight hundred belong to the civil official sequence. Can people with disabilities also do Da Ming secondary?

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in various ministries, and there was a kind of person in this world called a well-informed person. Soon I found out who this cripple named Li Hao was!

The handsome brother, Li Siye!

The man who spent almost ten years walking the world to build the railway.

That's right, twenty-four-year-old Li Hao is indeed young.

But at the age of twenty-four, Li Hao is more mature than many people. At the age of ten, he entered the Liao army, first following his second brother to run a boat, and then following his eldest brother to fight.

Since the age of fourteen, he has traveled almost all over the northwest for the railway career of the Ming Dynasty.

The railway from Beijing to Xi'an relied on his feet to find a reliable road.

Sun Chengzong went to the wilderness, and the newspapers were full of articles because Sun Chengzong did his best for the Ming Dynasty. There are also a few who don't open their eyes, and they also bring the words "death and after" at the back.

"Grandpa! You see, what is written in this newspaper. This......! Sun Zhijie was so angry that he was about to smash the newspaper with his soldiers.

"Rest easy! They are all major generals and division commanders, and they are still so frizzy. You think this is a bathhouse, and you say smash it?

Literati live by a mouth and a pen. You smashed the newspaper, and the gossip didn't spread even more evil? Sun Chengzong didn't care, and read the newspaper with relish.

"It's evil enough now, and there are rumors in private that you have been detained for corruption. What else is it rumored that Qincheng Prison or something, where is this! "Sun Zhijie now has two big heads, the political scene is earthquake, and public opinion in the capital is even more chaotic.

There are all kinds of rumors, and each of them spreads in a similar way. There are several pieces of news, and Sun Zhijie sounds like it's true.

"Very good! Look at the present, the old man is recuperating on the top of Yuquan Mountain. Do you know that the water of this Yuquan Mountain is for the royal family? That's all there is to it in one day, and you can't use it when you're free.

What else do you have to say to be able to recuperate here?

Do you know? The Ming Dynasty has no emperor now, and there will almost never be an emperor in the future. What kind of changes will occur in the future, with the old man's vision, I still can't see it.

Li Xiao can always do things unexpectedly, but in general, there will be no major changes.

It doesn't matter if there is an emperor or not, or if it has a different name. Isn't there a saying that the country's government affairs have to be carried out by officials!

Xiao He made 3,000 laws, and in the end he had to be handled by officials.

Remember the kid!

Rulers! The rule of officials is a real article.

The old man has held the position of the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty for ten years, and his protégés and former officials are all over the government and the opposition. This is the strength of our Sun family, you can rest assured that Li Xiao will not touch me, but will only supply me.

Anyone who achieves great things is a ruthless person. But Li Xiao is an exception, he can't do the matter of the cunning rabbit dying and hiding the bow.

Sometimes I really can't understand how such a person can turn the world of the Zhu family into the world of the Li family in more than ten years.

I remember when I was the governor of Shandong, he said: "Power comes out of the barrel of a gun."

At that time, the old man still felt that this statement was a bit biased. The country is still a world ruled by scholars and imperial power. A group of Qiu Ba is in power, and it is not enough to make a mess of the Tang Dynasty.

I never imagined that more than ten years later, today. It's really out of the barrel of a gun, but it's a pity that the old man, like the emperor of the Zhu family, has become the one who was seized power.

Heavenly reincarnation! Transmigration! It's really reincarnation! ”

"Grandpa! Don't be so sad and hurt your body again. Sun Zhijie hurriedly comforted Sun Chengzong on the side.

"Nothing! Do you know? How many times have I woken up in a dream, dreaming that our Sun family was uprooted, and Zhang Juzheng's posthumous events reappeared in the present day.

Your father and your uncles, and your cousins, are beheaded one by one. Dead and Fleeing and Wounded!

The old man has been playing with his heart all his life, thinking that this is the fate of Shousuke. But now you see, how good!

Retire!

can end up in this end, which can be regarded as the creation of my Sun Chengzong.

Look at the mountains, the waters, and the treatment.

Your father is such a wreck, and he has fallen into the fat gap of the director of Gaoyang Electric Power Bureau. If it weren't for the old man, there would be no electricity in that place in our hometown for another ten years.

Those uncles of yours, those who go into the railroad go into the railroad, and those who are in charge of water affairs are in charge of water affairs. There are also those who have entered the money bank, all of them are fat.

And you, the major general division commander, although the Marines are stationed overseas. But it's just a springboard, and you're well positioned in Australia. Protect the iron ore, copper ore, and other ores there.

That's your credit, and maybe you'll be able to manage a main division in the future. As for where you'll end up, that's not something I can figure out.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be horses and cattle for your children and grandchildren. Being able to bring the Sun family to this day is already the limit of the old man. Sun Chengzong was lying on a recliner basking in the sun, and the glass room was full of all kinds of flowers, taking a breath and feeling comfortable.

"Got it, grandpa! When I go to Australia, I will take good care of that place. It's just that the place is thousands of miles away, and the grandson can't see his grandfather again for a few years and listen to his grandfather's teachings. ”

"Huh! Don't you know? The Jinzhou Research Institute has come up with something called the telegraph, which says what is the use of radio waves to transmit messages.

I don't know exactly what to do, but you're thousands of miles away anyway. I'll receive your telegram here soon, and the message will be delivered quickly.

It is estimated that in another year and a half, you will be able to tinker with it, and when the time comes, although it is thousands of miles away, if you have anything, you can still send me a telegram.

You're still young, and you still need to get on the horse and give it a ride. ”

"Thank you, grandpa!"

"The future of the Sun family depends on you. Go ahead! Prepare your Marine Division, this is a Marine Division specially formed for you.

There were a lot of British immigrants in Australia, and those people were unruly and often raided the mines of the Ming Dynasty. Take them and practice your hands, and you will show your skills in the future. ”

"Where is that opportunity, Dashuai said. As long as there is no external aggression, there will be no war within a hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. What kind of battle is there! Sun Zhijie smiled to herself.

"Huh! There will be no war, but it will not prevent it from fighting. Silly boy, Li Xiao is a person who believes in force. And now that new weapons are emerging one after another, he will always find a place to test them.

The Marine Corps is specialized in fighting. The Army is the ornament! The heart is put in the belly, and there is a time when you fight. Didn't you envy Li Hu for a long time that they were able to fight overseas and make a name for themselves, and sooner or later it would be your turn.

Da Ming is not the Ming of the past now, a general who has never fought a war, what is it called. ”

"Really?" Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Sun Zhijie's eyes lit up obviously.

"More real than pearls! By the way, I heard that there is a big bird in Australia that is more than one person tall and can't fly and runs on the ground. You get me two, and I'll keep them here.

The old man has played with the eagle all his life, and he has to play with the big bird when he is old. ”

"No! My grandson will get it for you. ”

The capital was in a panic, but Li Xiao ran to Liaodong on a special train. This time, he came to see the improved tractor that Newton had tinkered with.

A scientific cow is a cow, not to mention that people are surnamed cows.

Newton had managed to get the diesel engine out, and although it weighed two tons, it was no different from drinking oil. But it's finally made up, not like two years ago. The voice is as loud as a goose with asthma, and it acts like an old man who has had a stroke.

The tractor is three meters high and three meters long, and its weight has been reduced to fifteen tons. Compared to the previous 30-ton behemoth, this is already a remarkable improvement.

Looking at his masterpiece, Newton was not proud.

"Generalissimo, this tractor can pull thirty-five tons of cargo. Cross-country speeds can reach 60 miles per hour, which translates to 30 kilometers per hour.

If it's a road speed, it can be up to 10 kilometers per hour. ”

"Fifteen tons of self-weight, do you count these things?" Li Xiao pointed to the big shovel in front of the tractor. I'm afraid this thing will have to weigh hard!

"It's all counted!"

"That's good!" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiao's mouth, this thing was quite satisfied. At least in this era, it is definitely an epoch-making product.

"The engine will be mass-produced as soon as possible, and a sample will be sent to Jinzhou. There's something else out there that needs an engine! Li Xiao looked at the big shovel and quickly bulldozed a large pile of soil to the bulldozer.

The Xu brothers have a drawing there, or this kind of tracked vehicle. There was a machine gun on the body with a turret on it. Loaded with a fifty-mm smoothbore gun, the turret can also be turned.

A modification of this car was an open-top with an eighty-mm mortar mounted on it. The most powerful thing is that the car can be loaded with more than 300 mortar shells. Even in the back of the car, it is possible to tow an ammunition cart.

It is guaranteed that the mortar, without logistical supplies, will fight a very intense battle.

The other type is an open-top one, which can seat ten soldiers.

The steel plates around it can withstand the fire of the double-two-five rapid-fire gun, and the excellent performance is the only way to estimate the linear position.

The former is called the tank as the primary assault force.

The latter, known as self-propelled mortars and armored vehicles, are the forces that accompany tank attacks.

In Li Xiao's words, these things will be the main force of war in the future.

The Xu brothers couldn't understand that the cost of such a behemoth was very expensive. If you build an army out of these things, it's too expensive.

However, the issue of military spending is not something they can consider, and what they have to think about now is how to turn the idea of the marshal into reality.

Fortunately, Newton had already developed an engine, and it was said that there was room for further improvement. Anyway, according to Dashuai, this thing is to reduce the volume and increase the output power.

"Very good, with this kind of thing, the farmers of Daming will not be so tired. It is inhumane to let a handful of old people still work in the fields. "There is a plow hanging from the back of the tractor, and it is much easier to plow the land than the oxen.

And you can drive a dozen ditches at once, and your ox cart is much faster.

"Yes! If only our British farmers could use it. Newton was very emotional, muttering quietly in English.

He, along with these British scientists, misses home very, very much. But it's useless to miss them, their biggest possibility is to bury their bones on this heavily guarded island.

"Mr. Newton, these studies of yours were all done with the funding of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to leave, you have to teach the students of Daming what you know.

I'll give you a year to teach these students. As long as I teach them, I will send you a ship back to England. To Newton's surprise, Li Xiao actually spoke to him in fluent English.

"You! Do you know English? Newton's eyes widened as big as an egg.

"Yes! I understand English. Li Xiao nodded in acknowledgement.

"Then why didn't you say you could speak English before?" Newton seemed to see a ghost, and sometimes they bullied Li Xiao for not knowing English, and said a lot of things that should not be said.

"You didn't ask me." Li Xiao waved his hand, looking very innocent.
