Chapter 443: Throw it in for a peach, repay it for a li
The current Ming Dynasty is not suitable for any form of constitutional monarchy, whether it is a dual monarchy, a hypothetical monarchy, or a monarchless parliamentary constitution without an emperor, the Ming Dynasty is not suitable.
The throne of the Central Plains is not sacred, the list of usurped ministers in the past dynasties can be arranged from the Beijing division to the Nanya, the Central Plains is almost in a stable cycle in the reincarnation of the dynasty, the Central Plains does not have a royal inheritance of the eternal table, in the Central Plains, the emperor can be the Tianhuang nobles, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wen of Sui, Tang Gaozu; It can also be a small person in the market, a small pavilion chief like Liu Bang, or even a desperate poverty like Zhu Yuanzhang.
The emperor of the Central Plains did not transcend the sacredness of the world, and was the real worldly emperor.
When the imperial power was weakened, whether it was eunuchs, relatives, or civil and military officials, they could bully the emperor, and even abolish the emperor and stand on his own, change the dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han, the ten permanent servants, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, and the eunuchs in the middle and late Tang Dynasty abolished the nine emperors and so on.
Under the dual system, the king still had some power to handle the affairs of the state; The hypocrisy is that it does not have any power to deal with the affairs of the state, but it is a symbol of the state; A monarchless parliament is a radical compromise of the king.
The foundation of constitutional monarchy is that in the collision of various social contradictions, the compromise of monarchy and various social classes, and the different degrees of compromise, have caused differences in systems.
The throne sits in turns, and next year to the Central Plains of my home, the secular monarchy without sacredness cannot be compromised under any circumstances.
This is also the fundamental difference between Zhang Juzheng's new policy and Jiajing's new policy, Zhang Juzheng's new policy is based on Qi Jiguang's town guarding Ji Town, sitting on 100,000 strong soldiers, and another 100,000 strong soldiers in Beijing.
Zhang Juzheng's new policy carried out the revitalization of the army, the core slogan is to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and the Jiajing new deal did not, the dismal end of the Jiajing new deal is indeed the Taoist lost the spirit of forging ahead, and it is also because of the inability to revitalize the military and the ability to lift the table, resulting in the Jiajing New Deal being restricted everywhere.
Jizhen is less than 100 miles away from Beijing, which is a part of Beijing, and the core of Zhang Juzheng's new policy is that the monarchy cannot be compromised, that is, the emperor must grasp the sharp blade in his hand and shock the world.
Zhu Yijun has seriously thought about the monarchy and the representative system, as well as the dual monarchy constitution, the hypothetical parliamentary constitution, and the monarchless parliamentary constitution under the representative system.
The most important role of a court is to regulate the contradictions between various classes, and to make it more clear that it must ensure the basic stability of its own country, that it will not be displaced and displaced because of frequent wars, that it will not be eaten because of a mouthful of grain and that it will not be humiliated and bullied because of the enemy's foreign troubles.
It doesn't matter what kind of system is implemented, as long as these courts can be achieved, for the people, it will be a blue sky.
Zhu Yijun is the emperor, he thinks so based on his position.
He could not always sit on the throne and think about how to improve the guillotine based on the emperor's position, and become a confused Louis XVI.
Xu Jiugao returned from going to sea and brought a lot of treasures, the most popular among them were the two kinds of pasture, these two kinds of pasture grass, not roadside weeds, have high nutritional value, and are extremely easy to plant, one acre of land can raise four cows or twenty sheep of the grassland, will really become self-sufficient.
If these two kinds of forage can be bred and even promoted in the process of grassland kingization, Zhu Yijun can say without shame: For the grassland people, his kindness is really not enough!
Xu Jiugao presented the ship model of the Feiyun again, this auspicious, Zhu Yijun really liked it very much, he asked people to put the ship model of the Feiyun in front of the emperor, and looked at it seriously for a long time, the design of the Feiyun is extremely outstanding, although there are only three masts, but it is a battleship, the firepower is strong enough, intuitively speaking, only one is needed, and the Ming Dynasty can complete the defense of the Strait of Malacca.
"Is there room reserved for a steam engine?" Zhu Yijun keenly discovered the position of the propeller, it is connected by a long rod, the tail of the huge propeller, can provide sufficient power when there is no wind, the long rod runs through the entire cabin, the drive is still human, and it is pedaling.
Zhu Yijun has a scooter that travels on the rails, he named it landlubber, he likes to pedal landlubbers to and from Tonghe Palace and Wenhua Palace, Feiyun is a bit like a large water duck.
It was obviously not a good idea to drive a giant ship by manpower, so Zhu Yijun found a reserved place for a steam engine, obviously, the design of the Feiyun was beyond this era, a steam engine with the power of three horses, and it was not suitable for boarding.
Three horsepower is not enough, thirty horsepower is not enough? Is a steam engine with 300 horsepower or 30,000 horsepower enough?
"Yes, the Songjiang Shipyard has trial-produced a two-zhang long sea ship, the sea ship has no mast and sails, and is loaded with a three-horse steam engine, which sailed on the sea for a whole day, the speed is extremely slow, far less than the wind, and it can only sail eight miles per hour, and this sea ship is still being improved." Xu Jiugao breathed a sigh of relief, Your Majesty is not the kind of king who does not eat the grains and nine heavens of the world, His Majesty may not know how to build ships, but he still has a considerable degree of understanding of ships.
Xu Jiugao said that these are not playing the piano to the cow, His Majesty can really understand.
"Your Majesty, Shen Shixing, the governor of Songjiang, told his ministers that the Feiyun will not be equipped with propellers in the early stage, because the propeller is still being improved, and its diameter, blades, angles, pitches, etc. need to be improved, which may take three to five years before it will be assembled on the Feiyun." Xu Jiugao said more explicitly: "The Feiyun is an exploration ship. ”
Different from the positioning of the Youlong, the positioning of the Feiyun is to explore, make bold assumptions, carefully demonstrate, and use all the unknown and advanced technologies explored by the Ming Dynasty on the Feiyun, and then use the Feiyun to do experiments to confirm the future direction of the ship.
"Feiyun, Feiyun ups and downs, Dapeng carries the wind, worthy of the name." The more Zhu Yijun looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and the Songjiang Fu Shipyard did not live up to the two million silver that the internal state funds came up with, and even gave more surprises.
At the beginning, the two million silver, Zhu Yijun was just for the smooth launch of the fast sailing ship Youlong, and the Feiyun was completely unexpected.
Zhu Yijun had a detailed understanding of the sea ship that Xu Jiugao said, Xu Jiugao is not a professional in this area, and he is also vague, but Wang Daokun, the secretary of the Ming Ministry of Industry, is extremely professional, seeing that His Majesty is interested, he also spoke briefly.
And the twelve-pound oval pearl, after Zhu Yijun saw it, that is, he had seen it, and it would soon be arranged to be auctioned off at the auction house, the big pearl is indeed very large, but it is not as liquid as real money and silver, after the auction, you can do a lot of things.
Wang Daokun's recital was quickly written, mainly to sort out the documents, since the degree bypass, the Ming Dynasty has carried out precise measurement of the size and data of various ships, and the improvement of the propeller has also been recorded in detail, which only needs to be sorted out a little, and His Majesty is it.
In Zhu Yijun's view, the equatorial windless belt is not without wind, but the wind is relatively small, but from Wang Daokun's recital, the equatorial windless belt is not without wind, it is the uncertainty of the wind.
Sometimes the sea will be like a mirror, without any waves, and sometimes, a storm with strong winds will make the ship fall into a storm that can cause damage or sink, and the Pacific Ocean is not really peaceful, and the Pacific Ocean is even more stormy.
The windless belt cannot be used and controlled, and it is better to have nothing, so it is called the windless belt, but the merchant ships need to cross the shackles of the windless belt, going back and forth between Peru and Luzon, and the solution given by Tessie is to go with the flow, under the action of the ocean current, through the windless belt, which takes nearly three months.
Da Ming hopes to find a new way to drive the ship, and human drive has become the only solution at the moment, one is Da Ming's paddle wheel, and the other is Taixi's paddle wheel.
Paddle wheels are located on both sides or behind the boat, half in the water, half on the water, slightly like wheels, just like a waterwheel, the paddle board drives the water flow to push the boat to sail, according to the different paddle boards, divided into fixed paddle board and moving paddle board, this thing is better than the traditional oar, but extremely limited.
The efficiency is low, the paddle board will slap the water when entering the water, and the paddle board will lift the water when it comes out of the water; The failure rate is high, the density difference between air and water is nearly 800 times, and the huge paddle wheel is on the water, in and out, and it is easy to be damaged; It is not resistant to wind and waves, and the side wheels installed on both sides of the ship increase the width of the ship, which is beneficial to the lateral stability, and the stern wheel installed in the stern is beneficial to the longitudinal stability, but a boat is installed with three paddle wheels, which is too bloated and difficult to navigate.
And extremely dangerous, the paddle wheel is obviously the best target, and once the paddle wheel is destroyed, the ship immediately loses power and becomes a lamb to the slaughter.
Tessie's paddle wheel came into the sight of the Ming shipbuilding engineers, Tessie's paddle wheel is a long cylindrical, completely submerged in the water drive, this kind of drive, there is a long screw like a screw, the drive rod drives the screw, pushing the water flow, there are not many shortcomings, but the dynamic seal is a huge problem, and the weight is too large.
(Schematic diagram of the earliest long-rod propeller)
Daming used the experiment of the sea vessel, not even a formal name, the first Hainan voyage is used this kind of long-rod propeller, an hour eight miles of sailing speed, so that it is like a slow snail crawling on the sea, the shortcomings of the cylindrical long-rod propeller is also very obvious, just a self-weight will inevitably be eliminated.
Soon Da Ming changed the long rod into a short rod, and the cylindrical long rod propeller was changed to a windmill-shaped propeller, and the first ship loaded with a short pole propeller has been successfully tested, and the speed has reached the standard of an hour and twenty miles, but soon encountered a more difficult problem, that is, handling.
Under the action of the current, the ship will turn each time due to the different flow velocities on both sides of the side of the side pressure, which has been very clear in the study of the 'Da Ming hard sail eight winds', the tail is the side pressure of the head movement, so that the ship turns, and the appearance of the propeller, interferes with the steering.
The main power of the ship is still the wind, and when the wind is blowing, it is necessary to take a zigzag to walk the eight winds, and the propeller provides the power, which makes it difficult for the ship to steer, but it becomes a burden.
The engineers of Daming Shipbuilding are combining theory with practice to analyze how to solve the problem, the Youlong itself is enough to explore, and the technical verification of the Feiyun is also a long road.
What if you can't make it? Zhu's steam turbine is still a distant dream that seems impossible to realize, but in this development project, several technologies have emerged to improve production efficiency, allowing the Ming shipbuilding industry to flourish.
Even if the Feiyun could not complete the sea voyage in the end, just the exploration of the propeller and the research on the steam engine on the ship had already opened a new door for the shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty.
"Wang Daokun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has done a good job." Zhu Yijun finished reading the recital, the Ministry of Industry is different from the other six, in order to let His Majesty understand what he is talking about, he also attached nine pictures to explain the reasons for the difficulty in steering the ship.
It is probably the Ministry of Industry headed by Wang Daokun who analyzes the forces of ships sailing against the wind in different directions.
Zhu Yijun felt that it was necessary to give this topic to the more than 9,000 inmates of the Ming Guozijian to do it together, he looked at Feng Bao and said: "Remove this force analysis, and let the inmates of the Guozijian do this force analysis." ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the prisoner doesn't have that ability." Feng Bao looked at the picture like a book from heaven, and said with great certainty.
Zhu Yijun said calmly: "They are the prisoners of the Guozijian, what kind of system do they have become all day long? No, you can't learn. ”
"I can't really learn this."
"You can learn."
"Obey." Feng Bao mourned in silence for the prisoners of Guozijian, and he did his best.
The heavy arithmetic coursework has already cost them half of their lives, and the rest of their lives are all studying political system speculation, contradiction theory, public and private theory, production theory, class theory, etc., and they can only squeeze the life of numerology in the next life.
"Songjiang Shipyard has a deferential heart, and brought a model of the Feiyun to King Lu, I sent it to him, where is he?" Zhu Yijun asked about Zhu Yijun's whereabouts.
Feng Bao bowed his head and said after asking Xiao Huangmen: "I am practicing against Xiong Tingbi and practicing martial arts." ”
"Check it out." Zhu Yijun moved his body and went to the school field of Tonghe Palace.
When he came to the school field, Zhu Yijun found the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and sat down, the Empress Dowager Li was extremely doting on Zhu Yiyi, and she did not agree with Zhu Yiyi's martial arts, the practice of martial arts was too hard, and it was rumored that Xi Wu was not tall and would become a meat camel.
Zhu Yiyi himself asked to practice martial arts, this lazy imperial brother lacked enthusiasm for other things, only practicing martial arts and collecting figures.
Practicing martial arts is for the happy life of the beauties of all countries, collecting figures is what he likes to be mechanical, and the oversized figures composed of nearly 10,000 parts, Zhu Yiyi can disassemble and reassemble them, and he enjoys this process quite a bit.
Xiong Tingbi is not Luo Sigong, and there is only one Luo Sigong in the Ming Dynasty who dares to make an all-out attack on the royal family.
Zhu Yiyi and Xiong Tingbi are wrestling, and did not use weapons, on weekdays, the two of them practice with the Qi family saber and long stick, and they are not used today, but simply compete for the stability and strength of the body, wrestling is a traditional military subject since the pre-Qin Dynasty, "The Book of Rites" said: "In the month of Meng Dong, the Son of Heaven ordered the generals to talk about martial arts, and practice shooting and wrestling."
That is, archery, driving, and wrestling are the three arts of gentlemen in line with etiquette, and later the six arts of gentlemen gradually appeared.
After Zhu Yijun asked for peace, he changed into a military uniform and looked at the field.
Xiong Tingbi and Zhu Yiyi's body shape is very strange, they leaned forward and half-squatted, so that their center of gravity moved down as much as possible, and then the left and right hands kept trying, after a simple temptation, the heads of the two people were on their heads, and the two hands pressed the back of the opponent's neck, and began to exert force, trying to press the other party to the ground.
Xiong Tingbi is obviously retracting, and Zhu Yibi has no natural divine power, so he has never been able to bring down Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi also wants to push Zhu Yibi out of the school, but Zhu Yibi firmly resists and refuses to retreat.
After fighting with each other for nearly half a quarter of an hour, the decline in physical strength was extremely serious, Zhu Yiyi seemed to have found an opportunity to reach forward with his right hand, hugged Xiong Tingbi's leg, and lifted it hard, throwing Xiong Tingbi to the ground.
"Haha I won!" Zhu Yiyi subdued Xiong Tingbi, waved his fist vigorously at the imperial brother, and sat on the ground panting vigorously.
Xiong Tingbi was overturned and stood up quickly, compared to Zhu Yiyi, who was red-faced, Xiong Tingbi seemed to be at ease, and his physical strength was not lost too much, he actually saw that King Lu's physical strength had seriously declined, and he deliberately sold a flaw, and it was not a life-and-death struggle, Xiong Tingbi understood the world very well.
"Hao'er, do you know what the river from Tongzhou to Jingshi is called?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
Zhu Yiyi said exactly: "The water released by the bear." ”
"The children can be taught." Zhu Yijun walked into the school yard and said with a smile.
"See Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty." Xiong Tingbi hurriedly saluted, he saw His Majesty just now, and while trying his best to show his strength, he skillfully lost to His Royal Highness King Lu, I have to say that after studying in the Quanchu Hall, Xiong Tingbi learned Zhang Juzheng's acting skills.
"If you win, you win, and I will win when he releases water!" Zhu Yiyi said loudly: "I won!" What's so great about Xiong Da, let me give you an example, the two of us fought to the death, although he could beat me to death, but I, still not convinced! Disobedience is disobedience! ”
Zhu Yijun laughed, this kid is very smart, why doesn't Zhu Yijun know that his victory is just a matter of human sophistication? But still enjoy the joy of victory.
"Xiong Da, let's practice." Zhu Yijun got off the field and began to wrestle with Xiong Tingbi, three times in a row, Xiong Tingbi was won by Zhu Yijun in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Yijun is nineteen years old, Xiong Tingbi is only thirteen years old, Zhu Yijun eats six more years than Xiong Tingbi, and practices for six more years, even if the talent is high, under the huge advantage of weight and height, Xiong Tingbi does his best, Zhu Yijun is still immovable, not so much wrestling, but playing.
Xiong Tingbi doesn't use human affection, but his strength is not as good as others.
"In two years, we will not be your opponents, you bear power, tsk, natural general." Zhu Yijun has his own training program, and wrestling with Xiong Tingbi is just a warm-up.
Xiong Tingbi's military talent is already extremely enviable, and the key is that he reads very well.
The weather in May was already very hot, but Zhu Yijun still meticulously completed all his training, weapon drills, and physical training.
The weapon drill is mainly a fire gun, a Zhangba lance, and a Qi family saber, and the Zhangba lance is a very difficult weapon in the long soldiers, and Zhu Yijun can already do it like an arm, and physical training is a ten-mile long-distance run and a half-hour standing pile.
After Zhu Yijun, who was sweating like rain, sat down, poured two bowls of warm tea, and looked at Zhu Yijun and laughed.
Zhu Yiyi is fighting the Feiyun, quite focused, fortunately the Feiyun sent has a detailed assembly legend, otherwise Zhu Yiyi is afraid that it will be extremely difficult to look at the pile of parts.
"Mother, mother, Biao'er will get married next year, can the princess determine the candidate?" Zhu Yijun got down to business.
King Lu will have a big wedding next year, which marks that King Lu has become a Ding, and Zhu Yiyi's beauties can be opened, which is also a major event in the dynasty, and the Ministry of Rites began preparations early.
Empress Dowager Li nodded and said, "It has already been decided." ”
After Zhu Yijun asked carefully, he found that it was indeed ready, and the woman who asked Zhu Yijun to get up every day was the princess.
This is not surprising, Wang Yaozhuo has also been raised in the palace for several years, Wang Yaozhuo became the queen, which is in line with the Ming etiquette law, even the historical queen Wang Xijie, also entered the palace in the first month of the fifth year of Wanli, and did not get married until February 19 of the following year.
It is reasonable to cultivate feelings in advance.
Zhu Yijun picked out a few major events in the court, and told the Empress Dowager Li, the Empress Dowager Li was unwilling to take care of these things, and she was a little impatient after listening to a few things, and she was not allowed to interfere in politics, so she sent Zhu Yijun away, Zhu Changzhi was only more than a year old, and it was the time to learn to walk, and the Empress Dowager Li was extremely fond of her eldest grandson Zhu Changzhi, for fear of falling.
The advance of the Ming Dynasty on the front line was orderly, and before the rainy season, the Ming army began to advance on the whole line, pressing to a position thirty miles outside the city of Bansheng.
Even Li Rusong, the pioneer governor of the Ming Dynasty who had been investigating on the front line, returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for Qi Jiguang to be promoted to the account, Qi Jiguang has been looking at the map, waiting for the military report to come, he needs to wait for a news before he can make a decision.
At this time, the Chinese army was beaming, the operation was extremely smooth, Chahannaoer was vulnerable, Altan Khan's 30,000 troops launched an attack on Jining Haizi, intending to regain the battle line, and was repelled by the Ming Jing Battalion steadily, Jining Haizi is the main force of the sharp knife of the Beijing camp, and Daqingshan stationed four infantry battalions and two car battalions, which was the retreat of the Beijing camp.
Even if it can't beat the board this time, the Beijing camp can still retreat in an orderly manner.
This makes the atmosphere at the front line less pessimistic, and whether the war cannot be won and come back next year is an opportunity given to the army by His Majesty.
His Majesty, who expected the enemy to be lenient, even prepared a long-term plan for a 25-year war, but unfortunately, Altan Khan was too old to move, and this plan could only be stillborn.
Qi Jiguang was waiting for an extremely important news, the third lady left the Naturalization City, and the ownership of the Naturalization City determined the location of the decisive battle.
If the Naturalization City completely fell to Altan Khan after the departure of the Three Niangzi, then the direction of the decisive battle was on the Eastern Front, that is, in the direction of Datong Wailiubao.
If the city of Guihua refuses to fall to Altan Khan, even if the city gate is closed, as long as it does not fight with Altan Khan, the defense line of Altan Khan's decisive battle can only be the Beijing camp.
The steppe people also have to fight backwards, the incomplete loyalty of the naturalization city is completely disloyal, and the decisive battle from the direction of Datong, once the naturalization city turns against the water, the decisive battle has not yet begun, and Altan Khan will lose completely.
"Report! Scout Sniffing! Handsome! The gate of the Naturalization City was closed, and the third son of Altan Khan, Bintu, went to the Naturalization City to negotiate, but the Naturalization City refused to open the door to greet him, and the Wushen Department attacked the city, and Bintu was shot in the left arm and died last night! A commander hurriedly brought an urgent report.
"Hahaha, there's infighting." Li Rusong wanted to laugh out loud, but he also felt that the occasion was too serious, so he wanted to laugh and held back his discomfort.
"Laugh if you want." Qi Jiguang looked at Li Rusong who was afraid that he would hold back his internal injuries if he continued to hold it like this, and said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Li Rusong laughed, he followed his father to fight with Beiyu when he was a child, and his father was injured and bled for this, so it can be said that he fought from childhood to adulthood.
Qi Jiguang opened the Tang newspaper, but after reading it, he still didn't make a sound, he was still waiting.
The scout's investigation may be a rumor deliberately spread by the enemy, Qi Jiguang has to wait for the news of Xiaoshan, who is the supreme commander of the Duntai Yuanhou in the army, and the information of the Duntai Yuanhou is more accurate when fighting in the north.
The information of the distant marquis of Duntai came two quarters of an hour late, mainly to determine the truth of the information, and there was not much difference in the content of the information, and Altan Khan was so angry that he vomited blood, and the third son Bintu was the most successful one after the death of the eldest son monk.
As a result, the third son Bintu did not die at the hands of the Ming army, but died under the rain of arrows in Guihua City, according to the confirmation of the Marquis of Duntai, the arrow cluster was coated with golden soup (feces), and the pus and high fever after pulling out the arrow cluster were the key to taking Bintu's life.
"The two 10,000 households in Naturalization City seem to have made up their minds and refused to follow Altan Khan to the end." Qi Jiguang confirmed the authenticity of the information.
The court's judgment of Altan Khan is wrong, Altan Khan is not ready to run, but is ready to fight to the end with Daming, but the court's judgment on the belonging of the naturalization city and the people's desire is accurate, when the three ladies are there, the naturalization city does not listen to Altan Khan, the three ladies hide in Daming, and the naturalization city still does not listen to Altan Khan.
The situation of Hu and Han living together, you have me, I have you, and indeed a result is needed to end this chaotic situation.
"Li Rusong, you take two cavalry battalions and go to Wengguan Mountain, ready to intercept the defeated army of Altan Khan at any time, and if the Beijing camp is defeated, then attack Bansheng City." Qi Jiguang pointed his hand at Wuchuan Town at the foot of Wengguan Mountain, a place that could prevent Altan Khan from escaping.
If the Beijing camp is defeated, Li Rusong and the cavalry battalion led by him launch an attack on Bansheng, which can effectively contain the Altan Khan army, and at that time, Li Rusong and the 6,000 people led by him are the outcasts, in order to ensure the orderly retreat of the Ming Jingying.
Qi Jiguang did not hide his intentions, and even explained it directly.
Li Rusong didn't have any cowardice at all, but his face was full of excitement, he stood up and shouted loudly: "Obey the general's order!" If it doesn't work, see you here! ”
This is a military order, and if you don't play your part, it's death.
Greedy for life and afraid of death, Li Rusong?! Li Rusong has long had enough of this kind of scolding! In the face of this kind of questioning, Li Rusong just wanted to say: You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and your whole family is greedy for life and afraid of death!
The cavalry battalion is the elite of the Ming elite, and this elite soldier is a sharp weapon on the battlefield!
"If the defeat is delayed for two hours, it is enough, the cavalry camp comes and goes like the wind, and when the time comes, it is time to retreat." Qi Jiguang saw Li Rusong's excited expression, and knew what Li Rusong was thinking.
Qi Jiguang didn't really let him die, and Jingying only had a failure rate of one percent.
