Chapter 574: Finale
In the twentieth year of Hongxi (1426), Zhu Gaoxu was forty-six years old, and after four or five years of electromagnetic research in the Ming Empire, he finally succeeded in solving the problem of radio conflict and completed the erection of radio.
In the twenty-first year of Hongxi, the Ming Dynasty and Shaharu raised troops together again after recuperation, and destroyed the Ottoman Empire in one year, and the two sides divided the territory of the Ottoman Empire.
At the same time, south of the Ottoman Empire, all parts of the Mediterranean coast were divided to the south of the Caspian Sea.
In this way, from the Mediterranean, to the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea, an important part of the sea and sea areas are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
Shahru's empire had few sailors, let alone the importance of the sea, and he was given all the territory north of Persia, north of Azerbaijan and Gelugia, northeast and north of Ottomans, all close to the later Great Rakshasas.
Shaharu was a little embarrassed because of the relatively large territory he occupied, and he also felt that he had taken advantage of the Ming army.
You must know that the places he occupied, even in later generations, were war-frequent, underdeveloped places.
In the twenty-fourth year of Hongxi (1430), Zhu Gaoxu was fifty years old, and the Ming army successively captured the Mamluk Dynasty and the Zarayil Dynasty.
It took Zhu Gaoxu more than 20 years to incorporate the entire West and Central Asia, except for the territory of Shahru, into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, in the whole of Asia, only Goryeo and Dongben in East Asia, and Shaharu in North Asia, three dynasties still existed.
Zhu Gaoxu kept Shahru, mainly to force them to continue north.
After Zhu Gaoxu, the Ming Emperor did not have to abide by the peace agreement between the two sides, including after the death of Shahru, the agreement between the two sides automatically expired, and the Ming Dynasty could then force the Timurid Empire to spread northward, so as to enter the territory of Da Luo and let them fall in love with each other.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was nearly fifty years old, and the prince of the Ming Dynasty had been established for many years, but up and down the Ming Dynasty, almost no one had seen the prince, the prince was still outside, and many people did not know where the prince was.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaoxu passed the decree to let the prince enter Beijing, which caused a sensation in the world.
At this time, the Ming Empire knew that the crown prince was actually the new Ottoman governor Qin Han.
Qin and Han served as governors in Persia and then in Ottomans, serving two governors for ten years, each serving a five-year term.
In the past ten years, the local development has been very fast, the Han population has skyrocketed, and the economy of the two places is no less than the richest place in the Ming Dynasty.
Because whether it is the Ottoman province or the Persian province, the local oil is rich and rubber oak is planted, which is what the Ming Empire needs most now.
At the same time as the prince entered Beijing, in March of the 25th year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaoxu came to the outside of the capital with a group of ministers.
There were a large number of armor guards at the scene, and after Zhu Gaoxu got out of the carriage, he couldn't help but look a little helpless when he looked at the ministers who came out of the carriage one after another.
Huang Fu has been to Shi, Li Jinglong is seriously ill and died, many veterans in the Jing Disaster have also died, Zhishi of Zhishi, Li Bin and Li Yuan, who have made meritorious contributions in the rebellion, have also died of illness, Ping An is seriously ill at home, and he is in advance of Zhishi, Sheng Yong and Qu Neng are not in good health, and they are recuperating at home.
When they were young, they fought too fiercely, and they ran around, and when they got older, problems came out.
It is also a loss that the Ming Dynasty's medical skills are now leading the world, otherwise it is estimated that he will die more and earlier.
Zhu Gaoxu's cabinet has also changed many people, and a quarter of them are around 40 years old, and the young officials who are younger than Zhu Gaoxu have basically risen up after experiencing three new studies: primary, middle, middle, and university.
Several of them are college classmates of the prince Zhu Zhanyan, which can be regarded as paving the way for the prince.
The key is that these people don't know that their college classmate is the prince.
When the prince returns to Beijing this time, Zhu Gaoxu will officially introduce them to the prince again.
Just when Zhu Gaoxu was staring at the carriage a little distracted.
A young official from the Science and Technology Department on the side stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, everything is ready." ”
Zhu Gaoxu turned around and saw a young official in his twenties, who was the new official of the Department of Science and Technology, Yu Qian, who was only seven grades.
Zhu Gaoxu stared at Yu Qian for a few moments, and thought to himself, in this life, you may not have the opportunity to support the new emperor, nor will you have the opportunity to know the Ming God of War, as for whether you can sit in a high position in the future, it depends on Zhu Zhanyan's vision and employment.
Yu Qian was a little hairy by Zhu Gaoxu, and quickly lowered his head, very panicked, not knowing where he made the emperor unhappy.
"Yu Qian, yes, good, good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded with a smile at this time, and then walked forward.
In front, people from the Science and Technology Department were fiddling, and officials followed the emperor one after another.
When everyone arrived at the scene, they found that there were two metal tracks on the ground at the scene, and the tracks were very long, about 500 steps.
On the east side there is a large box, like a carriage box, but the front is heavier.
"Come on, come on, get in the car, get in the car." The emperor is in a good mood, and today is the day to test the train tracks.
From the invention of the cylinder to the pressure cooker, and now to the first test of the steam engine, the Ming Dynasty invested nearly ten years in the steam engine, which is still guided by Zhu Gaoxu and has a little experience in later generations.
If not, it may be longer.
But the advent of the steam engine does not mean that trains can be built now.
Today they are here to test the momentum.
Zhu Gaoxu's ministers came to the carriage.
Yu Qian was also standing on the edge of the carriage at this time, and then introduced himself to the emperor.
"The front of this car plus the carriage weighs four thousand catties."
"It's a single-cylinder steam engine."
"The boiler has a steam pressure of 0.3 megapascals and a flat-lying cylinder in the boiler. The locomotive has two pairs of moving wheels, which are driven by gears, and the axle type is 0-2-0. The locomotive is equipped with a large flywheel, which, with the help of its rotational inertial power, maintains the reciprocating motion of the cylinder pistons. ”
Zhu Gaoxu changed the voltaic battery to the Hongxi battery, but the name of some units such as the pressure unit has not been changed, because after all, he was used to it in his previous life.
The first steam carriage of the Ming Dynasty was even more powerful than the first railway steam engine in Britain in 1814.
The carriage is about ten meters long and can seat twenty people.
The first vehicle in the original plane Britain was less powerful than them, and could seat seventy people. (dragged five carriages)
There is only one carriage on Zhu Gaoxu's side, so you have to look at the speed and drag.
The Emperor was the first to sit in the carriage, and then everyone entered the carriage one after another.
After twenty people were seated, the carriage began to start.
Of course, the sound was very noisy, and the ministers who were shocked had to cover their ears.
Because only twenty people were dragged, the speed was relatively fast.
Zhu Gaoxu also specially sent people to use the newly manufactured pocket watch of the Ming Dynasty to measure the speed on the side.
The speed is about fifteen kilometers per hour, that is, about thirty miles.
They ran 500 meters for less than two minutes.
That's a decent speed.
But now there are only twenty people, one carriage, if you drag five carriages, a hundred people, the speed will definitely drop dramatically.
Of course, it is still early for Daming, and there is still time for research and development.
In the future, not only the number of cylinders had to be changed, but also the internal combustion engine had to be studied.
As for whether Zhu Gaoxu can see it in his lifetime, it depends on his body and luck.
From the day he sat on the throne of the Ming Dynasty, he worked hard for the Ming Dynasty to enter industrialization, and it only took more than 20 years to bring the poor and white Ming Dynasty into the process of industrialization.
The road ahead will depend on his son Zhu Zhanyan.
In April of the twenty-fifth year of Hongxi, the crown prince Zhu Zhanqi entered Beijing.
On the same day, he settled in the East Palace, and the next day he rode a carriage to the court.
Because Zhu Gaoxu himself didn't go to the court much, the officials usually went to the court and struggled, but when they heard that the prince was coming, the civil and military officials of the Beijing division came to the outside of the imperial city early that day, and before the gate was opened, they were already discussing.
At this time, after nearly 20 years of new learning, about half of the Beijing officials were still old comrades from the time of the Jingjing and the rebellion war.
These people have grown up studying Confucianism since they were children, and they really obeyed Zhu Gaoxu, and they actually hid the prince for more than 20 years, no, they are the emperor for almost 30 years.
Before Zhu Gaoxu started the army, his son was not young, and then the emperor worked for twenty-five years, and the crown prince was close to thirty years old.
On the day of the last dynasty, when Zhu Gaoxu called out the crown prince, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty raised their heads in a new way.
Then everyone was screaming in their hearts, what a real thing.
Zhu Zhan is as burly and tall as the emperor, very similar to the emperor when he was young.
After the crown prince entered the Beijing Division, Emperor Zhu Gaoxu successively changed many officials, including the Beijing Division and the local government.
Most of them are about to retire when they are old, and the new officials who are replaced are people who are known or appointed by the prince and begin to pave the way for the prince.
In the twenty-seventh year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaoxu let the crown prince supervise the country, and he began to leave the palace again, and no one knew where the emperor went.
Zhu Gaoxu spent more than half a year, traveled all over the interior of Daming, and went to Jeju, Dayuan and other places.
At this time, Daming's radio has been laid to Dayuan, Jeju, Malacca, and can be spread to all parts of the country by the end of the year at the latest.
Of course, at present, it is mainly the places where the provincial capitals and governors' palaces are located, and it will take at least one or two years to spread to the county capitals.
Although the emperor is now leaving the palace, many orders can be transmitted by radio, which is quite efficient.
As long as the emperor is in the provincial capitals, the important affairs of the Jingshi can be transmitted.
Moreover, the ship that the emperor brought out was equipped with a radio, which was very convenient to go and work.
In May of the 28th year of Hongxi, Emperor Zhu Gaoxu went to Yelusalem Province, which was the westernmost place in Western Asia controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
Two days later, Zhu Gaoxu came to Suez and at the same time ordered the local government to recruit people and open up the Suez River.
The other side of the river was originally the territory of the Mamluk Dynasty, the Mamluk Dynasty set the capital of Kailuo, the original time and space Ottoman Empire hit Kailuo in 1517, the Mamluk Dynasty was very martial and gathered soldiers and horses, went to the city outside the city and fought a decisive battle with the Ottoman Empire, and the result was a crushing defeat and annihilation, and the whole army was annihilated.
In this time and space, the Ming Dynasty first destroyed the Ottomans and then hit Kailuo.
The Mamluk Dynasty still concentrated all the troops and horses to fight the Ming army outside Kailuo City, and did not give the Ming army a chance to attack the city.
The result was also a fiasco, and the whole army was annihilated.
The Ming Empire did the worst thing in the history of the founding of the country in the twenty-eighth year of Hongxi.
It took five years before and after, overcoming countless difficulties, and nearly half of the casualties, finally completed the feat of opening up the Suez Canal.
In the original time and space, the Frenchman Reseb established the Suez Canal Company, and forced the poor people to dig the canal through the desert for nearly 11 years, and some coolies were even whipped. The project overcame many technical, political and financial problems. The final cost was a whopping £18.6 million, more than double the initial budget.
It took the French eleven years, 120,000 dead laborers, to complete the Suez Canal.
It took five years for the Ming Dynasty to suffer more than 200,000 casualties, which became the only stain on Zhu Gaoxu's reign.
The Ming Dynasty's actions in Kailuo caused strong dissatisfaction among Africans, and in the following ten years, North Africa was full of rebels, and this side was the far west of the Ming Dynasty, and it was difficult to supply and support, and the two sides experienced decades of struggle.
The later emperor Zhu Zhanyu always remembered the words of his father Zhu Gaoxu, no matter what, the territory that the Ming Dynasty had occupied must not be discarded, especially in such an important place as the Suez Canal.
After decades of fighting, in the end, the Ming Dynasty finally conquered the local area of the Egypt level with strong firepower and a steady stream of troops.
In the twenty-ninth year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaoxu, who had just returned to Beijing from Kailuo, was fifty-five years old, in the prime of life, and in good health.
But he suddenly decreed that Zen was located in Zhu Zhan and became the emperor himself, which shocked the whole country of the Ming Dynasty again.
After Zhu Zhan Yan ascended the throne, he changed his name to 'Wude' next year.
This means that the Ming Dynasty will continue to use force as the premise and promote the morality of the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of the first year of Wude, the Ming Empire entered the reign of Zhu Zhanyu, and Zhu Gaoxu watched silently behind his back, giving guidance from time to time.
In the first year of Wude, the Ming Empire swept through Goryeo with 50,000 troops, conquered Goryeo in less than half a year, and then spent ten years immigrating half of the Goryeo people to the north of Nuer Gandusi, and at the same time, within ten years, 500,000 Han Chinese and other ethnic groups immigrated to Goryeo.
In the third year of Wude, the Ming Empire swept through Dongben with 100,000 troops, and it took a year to conquer Dongben.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty already had a new generation of steamships and began to emigrate the Dongmen to the old Jingshan in North America.
In the fifth year of Wude, Emperor Zhu Gaoxu was already sixty years old.
At the beginning of May of the fifth year of Wude.
"Drove" a fast horse galloped to the Longjiang wharf.
Many people followed behind: "The Emperor, the Emperor." ”
Everyone screamed.
It was the sixty-year-old Zhu Gaoxu who was running wildly in front.
Zhu Gaoxu hadn't ridden a fast horse like this for a long time, and today he suddenly got up and rode a fast horse all the way to the dock, and the frightened souls of everyone behind him flew out of the sky.
When Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the dock, he saw black smoke billowing above the pier, and three huge steam ships were already waiting quietly on the river.
Both sides of the dock are full of people, including Jinyi guards, Beijing soldiers, and eunuchs and palace maids.
Zhong Xian, who was also almost sixty years old, stood on the shore with gray hair and a nervous face.
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu coming over quickly, Zhong Xian couldn't help but recall in his mind the scene when the two of them rode horses from Beijing to Beiping.
The past came back to my mind one by one, and in a blink of an eye, decades have passed.
"The Emperor." Zhong Xian almost burst into tears, and stepped forward to drag the horse rope that Zhu Gaoxu had stopped: "Be careful." ”
"Hahaha, I'm not old, I'm not old." Zhu Gaoxu laughed.
He quickly jumped off his horse, and when he looked up, he saw a middle-aged woman standing at the bow of the boat and watching him quietly, with a faint smile on her face.
Xu Miaojin is not young, but he may be well maintained, and now he looks like he is in his forties, a little younger than Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at her from afar, the two of them were speechless, and they had all kinds of feelings in their hearts.
Zhu Gaoxu is preparing to cross the Pacific Ocean and go to the Old Classic Mountain in North America, among the concubines in the harem, except for Concubine Li, who has passed away, only Xu Miaojin is willing to follow him.
He took a deep breath, threw away the horse's leash, and strode onto the bow of the ship.
After a while, many people arrived on horseback, and Emperor Zhu Zhan also came to the shore, but no one got on the boat.
Everyone looked at the Emperor Taishang quietly.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand happily: "Let's go back, maybe there is fate, we can see each other again." ”
"Father." Zhu Zhanyan almost cried bitterly and knelt heavily on the ground.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Countless ministers knelt down one after another, and many old people burst into tears.
"Uhhh
Zhong Xian hurriedly boarded the ship, ordered the deck to be removed, and three huge steamships set sail one after another.
Zhu Gaoxu was still looking at his son in the distance.
Suddenly, I felt someone behind me gently hugging me.
Xu Miaojin put her face against his back, her face was full of happiness, and she only heard her gentle voice say: "Gao Xu is always different, even when he is an emperor, he is so chic." ”
Zhu Gaoxu waited for a moment before slowly turning around, grabbing Miaojin's hands, and the two husbands and wives looked at each other, all of them were tender: "What does Miaojin want to do most at this moment?" ”
Xu Miaojin blinked her beautiful eyes and thought for a while: "I want to hear you call me-——"
"Little aunt." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
