Chapter 580: Born Out of Thin Air
Seeing Zhu Di, he was still confused.
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to smile bitterly and continue to explain: "Your Majesty, the minister is confident that the message of the world can be transmitted within an hour. ”
Zhang Anshi understands Zhu Di, if you explain other terms to him, he may not understand, but if you talk about the effect of this thing, Zhu Di will immediately understand it.
It's just that Zhu Di is still in shock at this time.
You know, in this era when you still need to rely on fast horses to deliver messages, what is the concept of message transmission within an hour?
Even at the foot of the Son of Heaven, if you want to deliver the news from the capital to Jiangsu in Nanzhili, it will take at least two days and one night.
This is still a relatively ideal situation, after all, manpower and horsepower can change at any time during the journey.
It could be a heavy rain, or it could be a sudden situation, which could prolong the time of this transmission.
This is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and if it is a longer distance, it is needless to say.
The so-called mountain high emperor is far away, in fact, this is the truth, not to mention anything else, just from the capital to the Sichuan political envoy, the fast horse takes more than half a month, if it is a round trip, it will take a month or two, once any special circumstances occur in the Sichuan political envoy, the local government, need to wait for the imperial court to get instructions after a month or two, and in this process, things may have already taken a new turn.
It's changing rapidly, and no one knows what the results will be!
Since the Qin Dynasty, the world has opened up counties, and the territory of all dynasties has been confined to the Han land, to some extent, because the north is the polar regions and deserts, the south is the continuous primeval forests and 100,000 mountains, the east is bordered by the sea, the west is bordered by the Gobi and the desert.
In other words, the ancestors have expanded their territory to all places suitable for farming, and other deserts, mountains, and ice fields are really not of much value.
But on the other hand, in fact, it is also because this bureaucratic system, which has been continuously refined and improved by successive dynasties, has also reached its limit.
In fact, in the agricultural society for thousands of years, this set of counties and bureaucratic systems that have evolved since the Qin Dynasty, from the imperial court to the localities, from the ministries and cabinets in the middle of the court to the three divisions in the localities, from the imperial examinations to the selection of talents, and then to the galloping and passing posts, this is almost a set of the most sophisticated administrative system in this era, under the productive forces, this kind of civil bureaucratic system, can definitely be called a miracle in the period of agricultural civilization.
It's just that no matter how sophisticated the system is, it can rule and operate the world with a territory of thousands of thousands of miles, but it does not mean that it has no limitations.
And this limitation is productivity.
Once there is a system that can be passed on within an hour, then ...... It's bound to be completely different.
If the railroad is a bone, then this thing must be the nerves and veins of the whole body!
It ensures that the imperial court can be informed of the situation in the states and counties of the world at any time and respond quickly.
As far as the military is concerned, Zhu Di can empathize with it, because Zhu Di knows better than anyone that the essence of the military is precisely the ability to dispatch and assemble.
Once a war starts, if the soldiers and horses of each department are like fingers, and the troops and horses of all walks of life are quickly ordered to assemble, they can directly destroy the other side completely before they have begun to mobilize.
Since ancient times, there is no one better soldier in the world than Han Xin, and Han Xin once said to Liu Bang that His Majesty's generals are no more than 100,000 soldiers, and when Liu Bang asked how many soldiers and horses Han Xin could command, Han Xin replied that the more ministers, the better.
Therefore, Han Xin's idiom that the more soldiers the better.
In fact, under the current communication conditions, it is not easy for any general to command a large army, after all, it is impossible for an army of 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands to be crowded together in various places.
Then to complete a battle, a truly qualified general must be in the middle of the battle. Convey orders to the ministries to the map, where the striker is now, and where he should arrive in a few days. How many military horses are on the left, when they should set off, when they can arrive at the predetermined position, and the rear road, the right side, and the reserve of Chinese military horses, this is not a simple matter of arithmetic.
Because once the order is given, you don't know if the news has arrived, whether their military horses have already set off, and you don't know if they have encountered the enemy.
In fact, you don't know anything, you can only wait quietly in the big tent for the other party to send the latest information a few days later, and you ...... It had to be redeployed under these circumstances.
It's just that these deployments may not be useful, because maybe in the process of deployment, all walks of life, in fact, have made new changes, you let the right side attack, and when you make a decision, maybe the right side of the people has been wiped out.
The terrible thing is that when your right flank has been destroyed and your flank is completely exposed to the enemy, you still have no idea, and you still point to the map, delusioning that your right flank will attack in a few days, and everything will be fine.
It can be said that all military successes and failures, in some sense, are decided in the process of messaging again and again.
In history, there are many situations, even if it is the change of Tumubao, the Warat people have been killed in front of them, and they have been at war with many military horses, but in fact, the Ming Emperor who is located in the Chinese army is still ignorant, thinking that he is protected by countless military horses around him, and when the news of the defeat comes from all the military horses, the Chinese army wants to run away, but it is actually too late.
What kind of person Zhu Di is, he knows very well that with such a thing, he can not only quickly know the situation of all military horses, but also detect the enemy's movements at any time according to the scouts of various military horses.
This also means that the fog of war is completely unilateral and transparent, and your control over the military horse has been greatly strengthened.
If so, then ...... Everyone can be a soldier Han Xin.
Even if it is Li Jinglong's waste, it can be the god of war in vain.
Of course, not only these, on the battlefield, the vast majority of failures, in a sense, are the men and horses of each department, waiting for the commander's instructions to act at any time. And once the news is not delivered in time, then the people of all departments often do not dare to act rashly, for fear that their own recklessness will destroy the overall situation.
But this ...... As a result, many fighters were missed, and these rigid and sluggish soldiers, even if there were 300,000, 500,000, or 800,000, were called whipping and cutting off the flow, but in fact they were just useless numbers.
Historically, there have been countless examples of outnumbered battles, which essentially stem from this, not because there are more soldiers and more generals, you can win, and the more soldiers and horses, the higher the cost of organization and messaging.
Those people like Bai Qi and Han Xin in history were able to stand out only because...... They have a terrifying ability to control.
And such people are not rare at all, and only one is produced in a hundred years.
Zhu Di, who knew this esoteric more than anyone else, couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart at this time, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his face turned red.
This is only for the imperial court's control of the counties of the world, and the huge advantage that can be obtained over the military.
There are also commercial ......
Yes, Zhang Anshi has been calling for wind and rain in the exchange these days, if there is such a thing, then Zhang Anshi really has no possibility of colluding with others for profit.
It's impossible, just because Zhang Anshi got the news faster than others, so ...... Let's just say he's guilty, right?
This is simply above board, not to mention Zhu Di, even those businessmen, if they know this situation, they will have absolutely nothing to say.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
Seeing Zhu Di's frowning appearance, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but scream again and again.
Zhu Di frowned distraughtly and said, "Silence, I think about it again." ”
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to stand obediently and remain silent.
At this time, only Zhu Di knew that countless thoughts were flashing through Zhu Di's mind like lightning.
After a long time, Zhu Di opened his eyes suddenly, his expression was extremely solemn, and he said, "Is there such a divine thing?" ”
Zhang Anshi, who was standing on the side waiting for Zhu Di, suddenly said categorically: "Yes." ”
Zhang Anshi replied very firmly.
Zhu Di squinted his eyes, and immediately said: "Driving the Song Palace, I want to verify it myself, if this is really the case......
Speaking of this, Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi deeply, and then said slowly: "Then, I will give all the internal money to Zhang Qing, and I will have no regrets." ”
At this time, what Zhu Di cared about in his mind was no longer the so-called guilt.
In his mind, there are only four words that are circling around like a marquee, and that is...... Generations to come.
Yes, once this is the case, then it will really be a thousand generations, which is simply unthinkable.
Just like the Fujian political envoy, if there is a rebellion, the imperial court can quickly learn the news through such a post, and within an hour or two, decisively issue an order to quell the rebellion, and even within this time, it can mobilize all kinds of military horses to know all the information thousands of miles away.
So what kind of anti is it?
Zhang Anshi said with a flattered face: "Your Majesty...... That's a big deal. ”
Zhu Di said: "It's too early to talk about it, let's go, let's go now." ”
Zhu Di seemed a little anxious, and immediately led everyone to set off.
Xie Jin and Hu Guang were carried, and of course, Zhang Ren and others.
Along the way, Hu Guang lowered his head slightly with a little restlessness, but from time to time, he secretly went to see his son Hu Mu.
Xie Jin walked beside him, seeing his reaction in his eyes, so he said in a low voice: "Hu Gong doesn't have to worry, this time...... It may not only be possible to turn the tide of safety, but it may even be ...... There is a great achievement. ”
Hu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This ...... This...... Is it possible? ”
He was a little unconvinced: "These clairvoyants and ears are only available in ancient times." ”
Xie Jin's face showed a little speechlessness, and he couldn't help but complain: "Don't be stupid, there are no ancients, if there is, I am afraid that there are still three emperors and five emperors in this world." This is the foundation of the eternal inheritance, and there is a ...... Is that worth it? ”
Hu Guang couldn't help muttering: "The foundation of the world ......"
Xie Jin, but at this time, he thought of something, and said thoughtfully: "If there is such a thing, what if...... Able to ...... in Java"
Xie Jin's face looked uncertain, he couldn't care about Hu Guang anymore, and his thoughts began to fly.
For Xie Jin, making the decision to live in Java must have been a huge risk.
Ke Xie Jin is not a peaceful person, what he desires is not just step-by-step.
He desperately promoted the New Deal in the DPRK, and in essence, it was also clear that the survival of Java was closely related to the New Deal, and the survival of Java was the survival of the Xie family.
If the Xie family wants to obtain the capital that continues the bloodline for tens of millions of years, everything depends on this.
In the midst of everyone's different thoughts, the Song Palace's Mansion will soon arrive.
Zhu Di was the first to enter.
This Song Dynasty palace is not just a vassal king's mansion, in essence, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the palace also undertakes the function of handling government affairs, it is divided into the inner garden of the palace and the front hall, the front hall is a variety of vassal kings' subordinate officials and institutions.
In addition, the affairs of the Song Dynasty are numerous, so there are many various government offices, and the officials who come and go are also endless.
As soon as they saw Zhu Dilong, who was wearing a winged crown, and Zhang Anshiren followed step by step, they never expected that His Majesty would suddenly come here, so they all turned sideways to the side of the road to salute.
Zhu Di walked quickly, strutting his head, and after a while, he arrived at a courtyard.
In this courtyard, it is very strange, there are wooden stakes erected, and there are ropes hanging from them.
If you look closely, there are only a few rooms here, and they are very quiet and do not show mountain dew.
Not long after, under the guidance of Zhang Anshi, Zhu Di paced into a room.
When I saw it first, I saw a man sitting on a strange pedal.
The man was pedaling, which had a gear in it, and was purring and spinning.
A wire is connected to the rotating pedal, which is connected to a box, and another wire is pulled out at the other side of the box. Not far away, it was connected to a huge machine.
A few people are burying their heads in this machine.
However, there seems to be no reason for sending and receiving newspapers now, so these young people are all looking down at a book, and they all look like they have forgotten to sleep and eat.
Zhu Di looked directly confused.
Of course, he didn't know that this was actually the transmitter and receiver that were born today.
Zhang Anshi did not use a wireless transmission device, but adopted a wired transmission with a simpler structure.
The reason for this choice, one is that the structure is simple, more suitable for promotion, after all, the wireless transmission is temporarily beyond the scope of understanding of the people, of course, in fact, it is also Zhang Anshi only knows the principle, but does not know the reason.
And even if this wireless transmitter is created, the transmission distance of this transmitter is only a few hundred meters to several miles, which is obviously not applicable at the moment.
The most important thing is that for Zhang Anshi, although cable transmission is expensive, it also has its huge advantages.
The industrial chain that can be brought by this cable is huge, requiring a large number of cables, and the cables are laid with the railway, which can be maintained with the help of the railway division.
And once the wire business booms, then ...... With this, the research on battery devices and power generation can become more in-depth.
Any industry is not a castle in the air, it depends on countless white flowers of silver, and countless inventors, theorists, technicians, craftsmen, and laborers who rely on it to survive...... Such so-called skills are actually just a flash in the pan.
The transmitter needs electricity, and the electricity, at present, can only be generated by stepping on, so the power generation is very primitive. The battery used to store electricity is also very simple, and ordinary people only see a tank containing inexplicable liquid.
Both the transmitter and the receiver are actually very simple, but they are made of wooden boards, copper wires wrapped in lacquer, and a few long screws, a few screws, and copper sheets, armatures, and the like.
The so-called electromagnet is actually just a lacquered wire that goes around a long screw.
Of course, the receiver is more complicated, because the place where the copper sheet is connected is made with a charcoal pen and a long strip of paper structure, once the transmitter thousands of miles away sends a call, the copper sheet begins to rise and fall, and the charcoal pen connected to the copper sheet also begins to rise and fall on the paper, and the long or short code is written on this pad paper.
This thing, not to mention a steam engine, is that there are some waterwheels of this era, which may have a more complex structure than it.
But it is precisely such a outrageous simple structure, which is connected by wires, but it has an incredible effect.
All this in front of him, for Zhu Di, has never been in contact, Zhu Di's eyes are full of novelty, he looked very seriously, looked up and down, and saw these reporters each holding a book in their hands, he couldn't help but say: "What is this?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is a translation book, you ...... look"
Zhang Anshi, who was following him, was demonstrating, knocking a few times on the transmitter, and then, on the transmitter, there was a long or short clicking sound.
Zhang Anshi continued: "One button on this side, the other end can also be received, and then they become a code according to the sound of this length, short, it represents the number 1, two consecutive hits, it is 2, and so on, if you hit it long, it is equivalent to a space bar......"
Zhu Di looked dizzying, and nodded as if he understood or not.
Zhang Anshi continued: "After receiving the numbers of these codes, we will translate the text according to this translation. For example, 343, 463, 445. Every four digits represent the number of pages of the translation, if it is 3, it is the third page, if the second number represents the vertical column of the translation, if it is 4, it means that it is in the fourth row, if the third number represents the horizontal column, if it is 3, it means that it is the fourth. Your Majesty, look ......"
Zhang Anshi immediately found the number 343 directly in the translation, and then pointed to the word on the top and said: "This word is the word 'money'." ”
Zhu Di: "......"
