Chongzhen Chat Group

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he patted his butt and left, but the words he said were like a depth bomb, exploding in everyone's mind.

Whether it’s about universal gravity, traveling across thousands of miles in less than an hour, or the possibility of landing on the moon, these kinds of statements are really shocking.

The identity of Emperor Chongzhen and his speech in front of the public only deepened the level of surprise.

After the emperor had left and the soldiers on the street began to withdraw, everyone came back to their senses and chatted excitedly about what had just happened as they left.

Ordinary people, who are more superficial, focus on the most surprising things.

"It only takes an hour to get to the capital. This is really unimaginable. I have never left Yingtian Mansion in my entire life!"

"Why doesn't the moon come out? If it is true as the emperor said, then our descendants will be really blessed. They can also go to the moon to see Chang'e. That would be amazing!"

"..."

And some scholars, although they are also surprised by these topics, are more curious and want to know why.

"It turns out that things fall to the ground because of the force of gravity. This means that there is also a strong interaction between us? Do you feel it?"

"No, there is an attraction between this young master and the girl from Ruyue Tower!"

"Seriously, what is this thing like air density? For the first time, I feel that there is a lot of knowledge in this invisible and intangible thing!"

"Birds flying in the air and fish swimming in the water seem to be very similar!"

"..."

Because they had just experienced the Feitian demonstration, and because it was the emperor who said it, most of the people believed it, and were therefore full of interest in the technology the emperor said. Of course, some people are skeptical about this. But when such people speak out, they often attract ridicule from their companions: "There is nothing impossible, only unimaginable! It must be that you don't have enough brains, right?"

"Can you imagine flying into the sky before? But now, don't you think it's just that?"

"Only a sage like the emperor can come up with such powerful knowledge. As for you, you can only go home and dig the ground! Think about food, rice, oil and salt every day to save your life! Such a complex and noble problem, It’s better to leave it to us to consider!”

"..."

Of the millions of people in Yingtian Mansion, only a small number could directly hear the emperor's speech. But it didn't matter. As the crowd dispersed, the emperor's speech naturally spread. Even Ying Tianfu's topic for many days has been focused on today's matter.

Such shocking events and the emperor's speech spread rapidly throughout the south of the Yangtze River with the flow of people entering and leaving Yingtian Mansion. It can even be said that because of the Feitian incident, it was even more shocking than the self-propelled steamer, and this time in Yingtian Mansion, there was also the emperor's speech in front of all the subjects, which enabled the rapid promotion of scientific and technological knowledge in Jiangnan, and greatly It has the potential to catch up with the popularity in the north.

Emperor Chongzhen had actually anticipated this situation. This can be seen from the amount of achievement points contributed. No surprise, it is extremely easy to get these achievement points by creating trouble among the people in the city. There are already nearly 20 million achievement points.

In addition, it can also be seen from the main group of the chat group that at least half of the comments are talking about what happened in Yingtian Mansion. From this, it is possible to infer the popularity of this topic.

Emperor Chongzhen did not stay in the palace of Yingtian Mansion for a few days before disappearing again. This made the civil servants and generals in Jiangnan behave completely differently from before. People who used to show off their official authority now often wonder what official authority is? Completely puzzled, everyone acted very friendly to the people. Those who used to like to stay at home to gain weight have become diligent in their work. Anyway, the official atmosphere in Jiangnan is completely new.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did not go on inspection tours. Instead, he took Sun Chuanting to the Jiangnan Shipyard and started busy with matters at the Guangdong Shipyard. As for Song Yingxing, he has to go back to his hometown first. The information he had collected over the years had to be sorted out in person, and then brought to the capital to be appointed as the Chief of Science and Technology.

At this time, he had seen the power of technology, knew its charm, and was very motivated. Even when he went home, he would sit in the car and read a set of science and technology books he got from Xu Zhengming. The level of fascination almost reached the point of forgetting all sleep and food.

At the same time, Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor, was listening to the reports of his men. The one-armed King Talong was standing at the bottom, listening with great concern. If you look carefully, you can see that his remaining hand is shaking slightly, showing his inner nervousness.

"The Great Khan, the last general sent people to Dongwu and spent a lot of money to get information from the Ming people there. The situation in the Ming Dynasty seems to be very bad. In neighboring Yunnan, many chieftains have rebelled. According to local reports in the Ming Dynasty The government does not have many troops, and the other chieftains are also ready to take action..."

In this era, no one else could obtain information as quickly as Emperor Chongzhen, regardless of distance. The news obtained by Shah Jahan's men was obviously delayed due to war, distance and other reasons. What he reported to Shah Jahan happened to be the news about the time when the chieftains of Yunnan were at their most arrogant years ago.

Shah Jahan listened, but before he could say anything, King Long on the other side became excited, and his hands shook even more violently. As soon as the man finished reporting, he hurried out of the queue, knelt down on the ground, and said excitedly Looking up at Shah Jahan, he said: "Dear Khan, did you hear this? If we start at this time, Dong Wu will definitely belong to the Khan. The Ming Dynasty is already sunset, and it is no longer possible! In the future, maybe the respected Khan, We can also use Dongwu as a base to invade Yunnan and defeat the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the noble Khan, you will be the best Khan in the ages!"

Listening to the prospects he described, it was impossible to say that Shah Jahan was not moved. You must know that his great ancestor, Timur, was so talented and strategic, and he also wanted to occupy the Ming Dynasty, but he died before he started his army, which was a lifelong regret. Among his descendants, there are such people. If Timur did not die of illness during his expedition, he might have conquered the Ming Dynasty. They can enjoy happiness in the rich land of Ming Dynasty.

Timur's unfulfilled wish back then, his descendants, as long as they have some ambition and feel they have some strength, will all have this dream. However, the Ming Dynasty was always strong, but they were torn apart. This dream was buried deep in the hearts of Timur's descendants.

Today, Shah Jahan feels that the empire has become powerful, at least from his title, it can be seen. At this time, I heard that the behemoth of Ming Dynasty was already sunset. The sweet dream buried in the bottom of my heart, thinking about the ambition to be better than others, started to burn brightly.

But before he could speak, a civil servant came to admonish him: "Great Khan, now we are at war with Persia. At this time, we must not start another war with the huge Ming Dynasty! A centipede will die without stiffness, Your Majesty We should conquer Persia first!"

Hearing this, Shah Jahan couldn't help but his enthusiasm cooled down a little. He is not a brainless person, otherwise he would not have led his empire to dominate this ancient land.

Generals can only gain military merit by fighting in wars, so some generals immediately retorted: "Persia is nothing. We have a huge army. As long as we send a small part to the east, we can conquer a large territory for Your Majesty. Such a good opportunity, But you want to stop me, why do you think so?"

At this time, the Mughal Empire was indeed powerful militarily. But in other words, it can also be described as militaristic. In order to achieve imperial hegemony, successive emperors expanded their armies aggressively. At this time, it had actually affected the foundation of the Mughal Empire. However, due to the continuous victory of the war, these effects were minimized.

Naturally, the civil servants would not give up and began to refute again, so the palace became lively.

At first, Shah Jahan was silent, obviously thinking. But later, he found that their noise was getting louder and louder, which made his head hurt, so he got angry. In the palace, it finally became quiet.

Seeing this, King Talong seized the opportunity, took a step back, and encouraged Shah Jahan to occupy Dongwu, interrupting the Ming Dynasty's attempt to continuously arrange for vassal kings to come abroad.

For Shah Jahan, he really could not ignore Persia. After all, there has been a war, fighting for Kandahar. This is an enemy in the open, so we can't ignore it. The final result was to send five thousand troops, with King Talong as the guide, to attack Dongwu.

The Mughal army was divided into four units: light infantry, elephant troops, artillery troops and cavalry troops, but the empire's standing army had been sent to fight Persia. Among them, the cavalry force was the ace army of the Mughal Dynasty, and its main source of force was the Rajputs in the north. The light infantry is mainly composed of matchlocks and archers, and the soldiers come from town residents.

After deciding to use troops against Dongwu, he didn't just leave. It also takes time for the decree to be spread, the organization and mobilization of troops.

In Bengal, after being under house arrest for a long time, the envoy sent by the King of Tang also knew that something was wrong. With the cooperation of outsiders, I finally escaped and rushed back to Togo to report the news.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen naturally did not know the decisions that had been made by the Mughal Dynasty. However, while he was still inspecting the shipyard, he also received a message through the chat group.

Ruan Fuyuan and the remnants of the Portuguese army who fled into Laos could not defeat the Ming Dynasty, but they bullied Laos. In Laos, burning, killing and looting are like locusts. Every time they pass through a place, that place becomes a white field. This remnant army did not dare to stay near the border of Ming Dynasty and kept fighting south.

Laos, to Ming Dynasty, was the Lao military and civilian propaganda department. To themselves, it was the Nanzhang Dynasty. Speaking of which, although the Nanzhang Dynasty has been established for a long time, it is often bullied by its neighbors. Annan and Dongwu have invaded many times. Even Nanzhang became a vassal state of Dongwu for a time, and its king was established by Dongwu people. At this point in time, their king had just passed away, and the new king, Visser, the original king's younger brother, had just taken over the throne.

At this time, the Nanzhang Dynasty was already in its late stages just like the Ming Dynasty in its original history. Attacked by the desperate remnants of the army, they were unable to fight back. Although Ming Dynasty had sent people to warn, due to the replacement of old and new kings, the corruption of the administrative system, and the corruption of the army, Ming Dynasty's warning did not have much effect.

When Emperor Chongzhen learned about this situation, he couldn't help but frowned. He didn't expect it. Nanzhang has become like this. Most of Annan's army has been deployed to Luzon. Although the Weisuo army on the Yunnan side can still enter Nanzhang together with the Weisuo army chasing the remnant army. But this operation finally made Emperor Chongzhen feel that the military strength in the south was a bit weak. After all, there is expected to be a war in Nanyang, and the matter of increasing troops in Nanyang must also be put on the agenda.

The north side was originally the nine-sided important town of the Ming Dynasty. Now that there are no enemies, the troops can be used and the number is sufficient. However, the strength of the nine-border town was too far north. If they were transferred to a place so far south to participate in the war, Emperor Chongzhen had reason to believe that the non-combat attrition would be much greater than the combat attrition. These climate factors, water and soil factors, cannot be solved by him traveling through time.

To solve this insurmountable problem, we can only send troops from the south or places with a similar climate to the south. However, the garrison troops from several nearby provinces have already been brought over for training. The remaining ones that haven't been pulled over, lack of experience, I'm afraid the losses will be a bit big.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen actually came up with a solution. He immediately issued an order to the capital through the chat group, and transferred a group of officers from the capital camp, that is, those who were former officers and soldiers of the New Army, to go to various parts of the Ming Dynasty to train the local garrison troops. In this way, although the reformed local garrison troops are still not as good as the seriously trained new army here in the capital, it can at least bring the combat effectiveness of these local garrison troops to a higher level.

Many generals with a keen sense of smell were very excited after learning the latest situation. It seemed that they still had meritorious deeds to achieve.

Of course, none of this will affect Fengxin County, Jiangxi. The place was also busy at this time, but it was not about other things, but the official from Songjiazhuang going home to visit his relatives.

Songjiazhuang is also very famous in Fengxin County. Because there are two candidates here, two brothers, they are known as the "Fengxin Second Song Dynasty". It is a pity that after passing the examination, they failed to pass the Jinshi examination for many years. But fortunately, Song Yingsheng, the eldest son of the Song family, was selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the fourth year of Chongzhen, although he was from a juren background, and finally had the opportunity to serve as the magistrate of Tongxiang County, Zhejiang Province. Nowadays, he has been awarded the title of Wenlinlang for his political achievements. After returning to his hometown to visit relatives, he will be transferred to Enping County Magistrate of Zhaoqing Prefecture, Guangdong.

At this time, he was sitting in the lobby, looking at his old mother on the main seat and asked: "Mom, where is my second brother? Isn't he serving you at home?"

Upon hearing this question, his wife rushed to answer for her mother-in-law: "My second uncle is just that kind of person. He likes unpopular things all day long. He ran out last month."
