Chapter 1 The horse-drawn iron ball experiment in Beiping City

Next Chapter

Ming dynasty.

The spring of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.

Hongwu is the era name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Peiping.

Beiping is not yet called Beijing.

It was originally the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

Yuan Dynasty era.

The Han people belong to the inferior class, except for the Mongols and the Semu people, the rest of the ethnic groups are not even qualified to be called people.

It's tragic.

For example, the Golden Man.

Because of the hatred of the Jin people, the Yuan Dynasty adopted a genocidal policy against the Jin people, and after years of perseverance, the Jin people have been exterminated.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, led the righteous army to eliminate the Yuan Dynasty, recover China, and restore the equal status of all ethnic groups.

The various repressive policies of the Yuan Dynasty were abolished.

Han people were not allowed to form associations, assemble, worship ancestors, take names, and hide iron utensils, etc., and the right to life, property rights, and so on were protected.

So that ordinary people will no longer be killed at will, and the ruling class only needs to accompany the burning of silver.

It also ensured that the land of the people would no longer be wantonly occupied, and there would be no threat of suddenly becoming serfs.

Meantime.

The ethnic groups in various parts of China have adopted the policy of Tusi autonomy and the means of combining soil and flow, and have generally maintained the posture of peaceful reunification of the whole country.

For example, Tusi in Wusizang, Yunnan, Nuergan and other places.

The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty retreated into the grassland, and there was a possibility of a comeback.

In order to stabilize the frontier and completely eliminate potential dangers, Ming Taizu was in Nanjing and divided the kings of the northern border.

Peiping.

It was given to Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Zhu Di, as the king of Yan.

Zhu Gaochi.

The eldest son of King Yan.

The fourteen-year-old boy stood on a high platform, looking down expressionlessly.

King Yan led the army to the desert to sweep away the remnants of the Yuan forces, the victory and defeat have not yet been divided, thousands of miles of news are isolated, and no one knows the situation in the desert.

The current city of Beiping.

It is up to Princess Yan and Changshi to tell.

Civil service.

It's not a climate yet.

Now, this is not the time for civil servants.

As the eldest son of Yan Wangfu, he has a high status and no real power.

But no one dares to underestimate it.

The craftsmen of the entire Beiping City, crowded with people, gathered in the open space outside the Beiping City.

Study.

The sages can't read it, and they don't expect to follow this path.

Martial art?

His second brother, but the future famous god of war, among the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, he only led a thousand horsemen to rush left and right, like a peerless killing god.

Zhuyu is in front, and it is quite unwise to compare the supreme talent of others, so it is a good idea.

Since I have come to this era.

Zhu Gaochi quietly looked at the two large iron hemispheres, and more than a dozen riders were preparing, and the craftsmen on the field, closing the iron hemispheres, were pumping the water inside.

A smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Five hundred years is too long, just seize the day.

The Industrial Revolution, which began with the Ming Dynasty, was three hundred years earlier than history.

……

Princess Yan Xu.

She is the daughter of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

Xu Da is Zhu Yuanzhang's hair and the head of the six founding kings.

And Xu and Zhu Di's childhood sweethearts, the two have no guesses, and after they become husband and wife, they are even more affectionate.

In the entire Yanwang Mansion, Zhu Di favored the Xu family alone.

Zhu Di's three sons and four daughters were all born by the Xu family.

Zhu Gaochi is the second child of the Xu family, and there is an eldest sister above.

Behind the curtain.

Xu sat upright, his face was not happy or angry.

"Mother."

The eldest daughter, Zhu Yuying, accompanied by her side, couldn't help but speak for the second brother. "The second brother doesn't know who listened to the slander outside, and made such a big fuss, but as the old saying goes, eat a trench, grow wise."

"It's not a bad thing to make a mistake, it's just a lesson."

Just those two iron balls combined, sixteen horses, how can they not be pulled apart?

What the younger brother said was crazy, and Zhu Yuying was skeptical.

Now that she saw Zhenzhang, just looking at the sixteen horses, the momentum was extraordinary, and Zhu Yuying sighed in her heart.

Half-belief turned into full suspicion, and he didn't believe that his brother could succeed at all.

Princess Yan's eyes moved, her expression gradually eased, and she said calmly: "I'm not angry that he has arranged so many things, and I'm happy for him, but it's sad that he trusts others too much and doesn't distinguish between right and wrong." ”

Reading is hard, reading is tiring.

As the eldest son, the eldest son should take the lead for the younger brothers.

It is necessary to engage in the Rausch sub-industry.

It is said that industry is the foundation of the country.

Fourteen children know about national affairs.

In recent days, he has been in charge of Beiping's affairs, and he has relaxed his control over his children, and a villain has approached his eldest son.

When I go back, I will definitely find out who it is.

The words in the curtain were faintly visible, and it was not clear to hear.

Shi Gecheng, the head of the Yanwang Mansion, his face became more and more ugly.

The Lord humiliated his ministers to death.

King Yan handed over the palace to him, in case something ugly happened, when King Yan returned to Beiping, what face would he have to see King Yan.

What kind of pressure experiment, in Katsuragi's eyes, is more like a monkey show.

Blue skies.

The people of Beiping City, the streets and alleys are spreading, "Yanwangfu wants to play a vaudeville." ”

It attracted countless people to watch.

Everywhere there were sensational heads, eager to show their heads, all pointing fingers, just waiting to see the joke.

The power of sixteen horses combined.

Not only did the common people think that the eldest prince was crazy, but even Ge Cheng thought the same.

The face of the Yan Wangfu.

It's all lost today.

At least in the next few months, the Yanwang Mansion will be the object of ridicule in the mouths of the people.

It's a shame.

Ge Cheng's snort expanded, and his breathing gradually became heavier, thinking about whether to directly stop the eldest prince's nonsense.

As a long history.

He has the right to control the sons.

Neither King Yan nor Princess Yan will refuse him.

……

"What's that pumping guy?"

The craftsmen were using a tool to suck out the water in the iron ball, and the people had never seen it, and they asked each other one after another.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was the first emperor born as a peasant in Chinese history.

There are ballads:

"The emperor treats a treat, four dishes and one soup, radish and leek, which is really sweet; Shallot tofu has a deep meaning, it is clear and innocent, and corrupt officials do not panic. ”

This is recognition from the people.

Therefore, it has only been more than 20 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but it has given a new look to the folk atmosphere.

The faces of the people had confidence and expressions, but they lost their numbness.

"Looks like an orange?"

"Where is the orange tree so small?"

"It's almost, it's just a different style, and you don't recognize it."

The orange tree is a tool that uses the principle of lever to absorb water, which was invented by the ancients in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has changed a lot in the past two thousand years, and has been used to this day.

It is also the principle that people use bamboo tubes to absorb water to extinguish fires.

"You said that the eldest prince of Yanwang made such a big move, and swore that sixteen horses couldn't pull the iron ball, why don't we believe it."

The iron ball was not small, but it was more willing to believe what the eyes saw than the sixteen tall horses.

Someone scoffed: "You don't understand this, you still take the rich boy's game." ”

"Be quiet, don't let people hear."

"I'm afraid, we are now the Ming Dynasty."

The people are most afraid of officials.

And Zhu Yuanzhang is the most ruthless to officials, but all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, violate the law and commit taboos, and the most serious ones are peeled and cramped and hung at the yamen.

When the people who came and went saw this, who was afraid of the officials?

"Eh, look at it."

"The horse is going to pull the iron ball."

After the craftsmen signaled, Zhu Gaochi personally went to inspect it, and the sixteen riders began to mount their horses one after another.

The crowd fell silent.

People looked intently at the big iron ball.

Sixteen horses.

How could it not be pulled open.
