The news of the defeat soon spread to the Beijing Division.

Chongzhen looked at the mountains of songs, looked at the first assistant Zhou Yanru and the second assistant Wen Tiren, and after a while, sighed: "How should this matter be resolved?" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is all due to Qiu Hejia's unknown knowledge."

Wen Tiren said: "An edict should be issued to list him as the first offender to show the determination of the imperial court." Then he sent troops to attack and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible."

Zhou Yanru came out: "Although Qiu Hejia is the governor of Denglai, he has just been there for a short time, and he should not bear all the responsibility for the trouble. ”

"Zhou Shoufu, he is not simply taking responsibility."

Wen Tiren said coldly: "Haven't you heard rumors in the market that he is the 'son of heaven'?" As the so-called groundless wind comes from nowhere, it may not be without cause......"

"Wen Cifu, since this matter is a rumor, it should be confirmed before making a judgment, instead of listening to the wind or rain."

Zhou Yanru argued: "So as not to further get out of control and make it impossible to end." ”

These close allies, who joined forces to kill Yuan Chonghuan, bring down Qian Longxi, and force Li Biao and Cheng Ji's life, have long turned against each other.

Hearing Zhou Yanru's words, Chongzhen thought of Yuan Chonghuan and He Kegang, and said: "How to deal with Qiu Hejia is a later matter, and the most important thing at the moment is to counter the rebellion." ”

"Sun Chengzong is in Shanhaiguan, so he can transfer Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to suppress the thieves."

Zhou Yanru suggested.

Wen Tiren thinks it can't be: "Most of Shanhaiguan is the Guanning Army, if there is collusion between them, how to deal with it?" ”

"Then transfer the Guan Ning Army or the Jinzhou Army to help." Zhou Yanru said again.

Wen Tiren still thinks it can't: "The Guan Ning Army and the Jinzhou Army are both under Yang Chengying, what should he do if he takes the opportunity to make trouble?" ”

The two sides argued, which gave Chongzhen a headache.

In the end, after discussion, it was decided to take Xie Lian as the new governor of Denglai, Xu Congzhi as the new governor of Shandong, and then transfer the Liaodong Naval Division with Sichuan soldiers as the main force to aid Laizhou.

Xie Lian once led troops to level the rebellion in Guizhou, and was barely a "knowing soldier".

Xu Congzhi used to be the political envoy of Shandong Youbu, and returned to his hometown because of discord with the governor. There are deeds that pacified Xu Hongru, and was reactivated by the imperial court.

These two arrived at the Laizhou front line and found that the rebels were strong, so they chose to hold on rationally.

Then, a large number of "advanced" firearms were made, and a large number of 10,000 enemies, thunderstorms, etc. were manufactured.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the rebels who had rested for many days after a big victory surrounded Laizhou.

Next, it's the siege.

A group of rebel leaders gathered in the commander's tent to discuss who would attack the city.

"My and Marshal Li's soldiers have suffered relatively large losses, and they have just been replenished, and they can't attack the city."

Liu Zeqing said: "Only the four general soldiers are tired of attacking the city. ”

The four major soldiers, the soldiers led by Wang Chengyin all belonged to Liu Zeqing, Mao Chenglu's soldiers were outnumbered, Chen Yongfu was only born in the capital, and only Chen was sometimes the strongest.

This is what I said to Chen.

Chen sometimes heard it, and said very chickenly: "The siege of the city is all about the siege of three and missing one, and I have never heard of a siege of the city."

Besides, the enemy has a large number of firearms in the city, and I am afraid that I am not an opponent. ”

"Mr. Chen, those firearms are put on a show, and there are not many casualties."

Liu Zeqing said: "Unlike the firearms in Liaodong, there is no need to be afraid at all. ”

"But am I alone leading the troops to attack the city?"

Chen sometimes glanced at the others, "I have thousands of elite soldiers under my command, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”

"If you feel wronged, let's make a rule."

Liu Zeqing's eyes rolled and he had a new idea: "If you can capture Laizhou, the first person to rob after entering the city is your soldiers." ”

The other leaders all nodded in agreement.

It's fair who contributes the most and who eats the lion's head.

"Okay, I'll do this."

Chen sometimes thinks in his heart, he wants me to lose my elite, but there is no door. See how I do it and reduce my losses.

After returning to his big tent, Chen sometimes first conveyed the order to his subordinates to besiege the city, and then ordered them to do one thing - destroy the house and attack the city.

It is to destroy the houses of the people, and to force them into battle and to attack the city.

What can these people do with the tall walls, and they are forced to die under the city in batches.

Liu Zeqing didn't care about this, he led the army to attack Pingdu, and plundered the surrounding area to supplement the grain and grass of the army.

In this way, the rebels besieged Laizhou and plagued the area around Laizhou.

Chongzhen was furious when he heard the report.

He did not discuss with Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren this time, but directly ordered the military department to let Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the military department, come up with a plan.

After a day of thinking, Liang Tingdong proposed that Liu Yulie, the squire of the military department, be the governor of Shandong, and be fully responsible for countering the rebellion. Deng Xi, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, led 4,000 Sichuan soldiers who had just been transferred to Jizhen, and 3,000 Miyun soldiers of Miyun Deputy General Mu Wenshou went to Shandong.

In addition, Chongzhen also gave Liu Yulie the seven Hongyi cannons in the Beijing camp.

Liu Yulie is a pure civilian official who does not understand military affairs at all.

Now, Shandong is even more lively.

is as lively as Shandong, and Yang Chengying is nested in the mountain nest.

After obtaining the tungsten ore with better quality, it is roasted by adding caustic soda.

In ancient China, there was a roasting furnace specifically for zinc, which was borrowed from the method of burning lime.

The product obtained after roasting is then filtered with water.

Hydrochloric acid was added to the filtrate to obtain tungstic acid.

Then tungsten acid is completely heated to obtain tungsten trioxide crystals.

Finally, hydrogen is added and further heated to obtain tungsten.

When the first furnace of tungsten was born, everyone cheered excitedly.

Now with tungsten, it is possible to make all kinds of drill bits, cutter bits.

Then we came up with all kinds of basic machine tools, and finally produced the steam engine.

A new era beckons to him.

"The next step is to build a brand new lathe."

Yang Cheng should be full of confidence in this.

"A better lathe makes a better gun for the battlefield."

Song Yingxing has not yet departed from his identity, and his mind is full of killing enemies.

"Yes, but the first step should be to get our workers to be proficient in the use of lathes."

Yang Chengying followed his words and said: "I think everyone must still regard themselves as craftsmen in their hearts, and they are not treated by those who 'have status'. ”

When he said this, Yang Cheng should glance at the faces of everyone present, "We have established a brand-new yamen, a yamen that has not existed in previous dynasties. ”

"Yamen? Is it the kind of county office? Wang Tianxiang asked excitedly.

"No, it's a yamen similar to the Ministry of Industry, but it doesn't specifically manage personnel and is only engaged in technical research."

Yang Chengying explained.

"You mean, like the Ordnance Bureau." Song Yingxing reacted.

"Almost, how about I want to call the Tiangong Bureau?"

Yang Chengying should ask for everyone's opinions.

Tiangong is taken from Tiangong Kaiwu, hehe...... occupies the name of Song Yingxing.

That's a good name.

Heavenly creation means that nature and artificiality jointly create all things, which is in line with the ancient people's philosophy of harmony and unity between man and nature.

"Okay, it's called the Heavenly Engineering Bureau."

Song Yingxing spoke, and the others had no opinion.

A brand new department was born!
