Hardship
Chapter 437:Hardship
Before the tide of the industrial revolution represented by the steam engine, anyone who tried to block its development was a worm-shaking tree and not self-reliant.No matter how loyal Song Yingxing was to Daming, a few tons of steam hammers were smashed in front of him, and that shocking force was enough to disintegrate any luck in his heart.
I'm on my knees, really on my knees!
Song Yingxing lived in Jinzhou that night, and his spirit was sobered from the twilight of several passers-by.Listening to the roar of the machine that was in the distance, he only knelt and cried.His understanding of the world was shattered at this moment, and he understood why Zhou Qingfeng was infinitely disdainful of Da Ming.The two are not an equal opponent at all.
"Study Martial Arts, Sell to the Emperor's House."As a traditional intellectual, Song Yingxing still has a little dedication to the name.Historically, he participated in four conferences, four times, and was completely dead until he was in his forties.And now a new road appears before him—from the thief or from the dragon, and think more?
In the face of the tide of the industrial revolution, Song Yingxing was not the first or last.He and his family went to Golden State.The hundreds of people who came to Bailudong College with him are also good at doing it, and the travel expenses to go home are not going home to arrange study or work.These students could not talk about any bad deeds, it was only because Yeena had to kidnap their teachers.
As for Xu Xia, it is easier, he will take him wherever he wants to go with the three-winged aircraft, and bring him to the servant who takes care of life.However, he did not want to run, saying that he would take a walk in Tianjin to see, and the next step would go to Jinzhou.Zhou Qingfeng himself did not agree, but told him to write more travel notes, more records of the current social humanities and natural scenery.
In this great era, someone needs to be able to cheer for it.
The people who were recruited around by Zhou Qingfeng were not only Song Yingxing, but in fact, there are many people with expertise in Daming society.It is just that what these people are good at is often not valued by so-called orthodox literati, with lower social status and no apparent fame.And here in the "Revolutionary Army", they are much more useful than the so-called elite who write only eight shares.
The "Revolutionary Army" has recently dug people more and more handy, especially after the Marco Shima Gong began to write a column, it has played a good role in demonstrating to a large number of low-level technocrats and craftsmen in the north.Grandpa often revealed the bottom of the court, so that the people at the bottom saw a large number of corruption and suppression that had been covered up in the past, and many people were angry and simply went south.
Here is not the Lord, there is no place for the Lord; everywhere there is no master, the Lord goes to the handsome.
Zhou Qingfeng recently gathered a group of craftsmen from the Mingting Inner Banking Bureau.These people were originally to create jewelry for the emperor's concubines in the palace, and Zhou Qingfeng was sent to grind lenses to make telescopes, magnifying glasses, and even microscopes.They went to Tianjin and also sent back a message that the Ming court's military supervision was copying the rocket of the "Revolutionary Army", and the imitation seemed to be OK.
The "seemingly OK" rocket is now being tested at the school outside Tongzhou City, and a large number of officials are sitting on the high platform of the school.For the first person's face, tall, wearing a royal python robe sitting in the middle.Sun Yuanhua, who has been in Tianjin for more than a month, is also among the officials at this moment, and when he heard the call, he went to the front of the stage and shouted respectfully "bear governor".
This "bear governor" is the recent thistle governor Xiong Tinghong, who is known for his just-right, very stinky temper.He sat next to him, who was in charge of the training of Xu Guangqi.Xu Guangqi specially shouted his disciples to introduce Xiong Ting, and Xiong Ting immediately smiled, “That great Mingkun public opinion map was stolen from the hands of anti-thieves?”
stolen?
Sun Yuanhua looked up at his teacher, and Xu Guangqi nodded quietly.He immediately said: "All rely on the bear supervisor's encouragement, the emperor Hongfu, the younger generation dare not work."If the map can help the bear to organize, it is a happy event."
“You can help, help.”Xiong Tinghong's voice was loud and his manner was generous, "In the past, the Ministry of Industry's drawings were very crude, and I could not imagine that this anti-thrabster was so familiar with the geography of the world."Compared with the two, this is to find many mistakes in the past.It is reported that you spent a hundred or two silver to buy the anti-throw inside, this money is too valuable.Give thanks, give thanks.”
Sun Yuanhua was humbled a few words and retreated to his teacher.
Zhou Qingfeng's attack on Gyeonggi has also been in the past two months, and Mingting's strong army plan has also been implemented for several days.Tongzhou is the front against the "revolutionary army" anti-throw thieves, it is appropriate to practice here, ready to recapture Tianjin - if you can not unblock the luck, the north in the second half of the year will have to drink the northwest wind.
Widespread famine is on the horizon, and the situation in the north is surging.The "Revolutionary Army" propaganda section sent a large number of personnel to go deep into the enemy's territory to carry out propaganda, to encourage the people to flee - not to take advantage of the food to flee, wait until the second half of the food is gone, want to escape without strength.Because of this, the Great Ming Dynasty court is also an ant on the hot pot, and there is an urgent need for a big victory to stabilize the situation.
On the school floor, tens of thousands of people marched the flag and stepped into the ground.First, a wave of horses was killed, and then there was the storm of the brigade.Looking at the scene, it is really much stronger than the bravery of the soldiers who did not eat enough before.Xiong Tinghong and Xu Guangqi both worked hard to win the battle.
However, these are ordinary exercises, and the finale is the shooting of more than a dozen artillery pieces and rocket salvos.The officer came to ask, and Xiong Ting bowed slightly and began the rocket demonstration.Under the high platform, more than a dozen soldiers and pawns were holding several rockets and preparing for the launch in front of the hundred officials.
The Rockets are no stranger to the army.Sun Yuanhua carefully looked at the imitation rockets placed under the school stage, and also felt that it was very different from the past.But it can be said that it is the same as the imitation of the "Revolutionary Army", but it always feels uncomfortable.
The rockets used by the "Revolutionary Army" used iron railing racks and were very lightweight.The several-meter-long slider allows the rocket to have enough distance to accelerate.The Ming Army only found the wreckage of the unexploded rocket, and thought that the launcher was about the same as the old rocket - the Ming Army laid more than a meter long oblique wooden box on the ground, and the angle and height were unalterable.The range cannot be adjusted.
It is very different from the Ming Army's past "Hundred Tigers Run"-type rockets to promote arrows to attack, and the "Revolutionary Army" rocket is killed and injured by the explosion after the arrow body landing.In terms of design, the two are very different.Only no one at the scene saw the end of the end, only to see the rocket ignited after the fire like a monkey flying into the sky.
This flight to heaven, Sun Yuanhua finally understood why he saw something wrong.The craftsmen of the Ming Army did not understand the role of the rocket tail at all, and they were initially too cumbersome to even cancel this thing.When it was found that there was no tail, the rocket ran into motion.But when they add the tail, they can't achieve consistency because of the machining accuracy.
The deviation of the tail wing made the heavenly rocket a "Brown sports bomb".Some face to the east, some face to the west, some fly out of a hundred meters and fall to the ground, and some even fly after heaven.None of the officials present had ever seen a real Revolutionary Army rocket, but they were compared to the rockets they used.This contrast has an immediate sense of superiority.
"Oh, this rocket is so powerful that it's all flying out of the ground."
"This landing can still be exploded, if the anti-thick is hit by a certain bombing camp."
"This weapon is lighter and easy to use, better than artillery."What a wonderful thing!”
A group of officials praised and did not forget to come to the bear to please, said that the bear has the emperor's trust, at this moment is Hong Fuqi Tian with military heavy weapons blessing, the battle of the south will be won.
This man is strange-tempered, and he does not like to be touted that these people are all wine bags in front of them, and they are completely ignorant in the way of the battle.He turned to Xu Guangqi and asked the colleague who was well-versed in Western Studies: "What is the opinion of the son's brother?"
Xu Guangqi was able to understand, he was greatly lost in the rocket, whisper: "Not to the bear supervisor, this thing is not good, flying in the sky, there is no head."Before Liu Yan's surrenders said that the anti-throat rocket salvored like a meteor falling to the ground, successively, playing two miles is still very accurate.It’s two completely different things that we’ve created.
Then my disciples heard it in Tianjin, and the way of the thief was extremely profound in the way of digital technicians.Xu also read a lot of books sold by anti-thiefs, and the people who wrote books are talented, and it is not a false name.The commercial goods sold on the market are also extremely exquisite, which is several times better than our weapons.If you look at the comparison in front of you, you are confused about losing if you are afraid to fight.”
Xiong Tinghong heard a slight nod and said with a deep voice: "The governor also sent someone to Tianjin to investigate, and the news obtained is not bad with what his son said."Whether we can beat Tianjin by tens of thousands of horses is hard to predict.But if it doesn’t, the situation in the north will be very chaotic.Alas . . .
Where Zhou Qingfeng does not occupy, he occupies Tianjin.This move was too toxic, and it was invincible in strategy, and suddenly stuck in Ming Ting's throat, leaving the officials in Beijing breathless.Historically, Mingting was also able to use Jiangnan's grain pay to continuously organize military forces to resist the post-money and suppress the Qing Dynasty.But now this man and horse in Xiong Ting's hand are Ming Ting's last hope.
This man exhausted the court's money and food, which made the bear's heart extremely stressed.If he loses, the court will not be able to fight back again – ridiculously, the officials of the court are still making a fortune.
“Does my first brother have a good idea?”Bears can't afford to lose.Just think that Liu Qiao is also tens of thousands of troops, in this Tongzhou besieged more than two thousand anti-throws, the result of half a day to collapse, he really can not think how to win the "revolutionary army."
Xu Guangqi also knew the difficulties of Xiong Tinghong, and he knew that the Great Ming National Movement was in the hands of the two of them, and a flash of loss was a dead country.He thought and thought, the last bit of the tooth screen to retreat from the crowd, down his voice to bear Tinghong said: "This Tongzhou army needs to practice more, all supervision can not fight."If you want to solve the problem at hand, it is necessary to say...”
Xu Guangqi said to Xiong Tinghong heart, he is a grumpy temper but not a fool, take the egg to touch the stone thing will not do.But Xu Guangqi said at the end but stopped, he hurriedly said: "Son brother but said no matter, what is the responsibility, the governor alone to bear."
Xu Guangqi gritted his teeth and said, "First the thief stabilized it, and then raised troops from the south to fight."We are standing still in the north, waiting for a good opportunity.”
