Daming: Critical writer, all officials beg not to write

One day later.

Tang He took the fleet of all the East China Sea Division at Liujiagang and set sail on an expedition to attack the Yin Kingdom.

It’s just that

“Gag! Vomit! ”

Tang He stuck his head out of the railing and kept vomiting.

Chen Xuan kept patting his back next to him and said comfortingly: “Grandpa, it’s much better after spitting it out!” ”

Tang He felt that his stomach was turning over, and reluctantly said: “When I was in Poyang Lake, I led the navy division to attack Chen Youcheng, and then crossed the Yangtze River to wipe out all the water bandits in Jiangxi!” ”

“Later, when attacking Hangzhou, he also went to sea in Hangzhou Bay to intercept Fang Guozhen’s men.”

“Coming and going, vertical and horizontal, above the waves, there was no such performance at that time.”

Tang He never expected that the Dudu of the East Sea Division would actually get seasick!

Chen Xuan explained: “Adult, inland rivers and oceans are completely different, and you are used to spitting and spitting. ”

“That’s how we all came.”

Tang Ding, who had been with Chang Mao before, was not angry at the moment, and kept regurgitating, and said weakly when he heard this: “Chen Xuan, isn’t it your first time to go to sea?” ”

“It’s not!”

“I was born in Zhejiang Province and grew up by the sea all year round, and I built a very simple raft to dare to go to the sea to the islands and reefs outside.”

“Just by a raft?”

Tang Ding looked around, it was relatively calm now, but the waves in the sea could not be blocked by a raft!

Chen Xuan nodded: “Just a raft.” ”

“Simple!”

“Unlike now, every ship is made of oak soaked for decades, and tung oil is used to fill the gaps to make sure it doesn’t get into the water!”

“It is precisely because of this that I have practiced water kung fu.”

“Don’t tell you, even if the boat capsizes now, I can swim back.”

After hearing this, Tang Ding couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: “Powerful.” ”

Tang He heard the deep meaning.

“They?”

“Who else?”

Chen Xuan looked at the sea and his eyes were calm: “Actually, this time I want to burn down the Confucius Temple, and the Confucius slave named Chen Lian who fought against Mao Lian is my brother!” ”

“I only found out after he was arrested.”

“At the beginning, he relied on his underwater skills to hold his breath and hang fish on Kong Xixue’s fish hook, so that he was recognized and joined the Kong Mansion!”

“Do evil for evil, do nothing evil!”

“Knowing that the Confucius Mansion is about to die, he is still stubbornly resisting, reluctant to be rich, and plans to burn down the Confucius Temple, arouse public opinion, and vainly try to avoid a catastrophe!”

“It’s really not a pity to die!”

Tang He asked, “Does he know that you became the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion?” ”

“I don’t know!”

“At that time, my father was killed in battle on the coast due to the invasion of the Wokou, and I became a military family, and he was ordered to be Ding Yu.”

“It’s just that he felt that there was no future in being a soldier, so he fled and left.”

Tang He muttered, “It turns out that he is still a fugitive…”

“Hmm!”

The same two brothers, one made a name for himself, the other but…

I have to say that the world is always embarrassing.

Chang Mao on the side came over with a rice bowl, and when he saw Tang Ding’s pale face, he deliberately came out of his heart, and the food was full of fragrant.

“Tang Ding, I also brought your meal.”

“Eat quickly!”

Tang Ding was now dizzy, and there was only acid water left in his vomited stomach, and when he saw the rice in Chang Mao’s hand, his throat surged again, and he vomited.

“Quick… Get out of the way! ”

“Huh? You say why I don’t get seasick, I don’t understand. ”

“Maybe that’s talent!”

“Daddy is blessed by God!”

Tang Ding looked at Chang Mao, pointed to the rice bowl, and said word by word: “I said, take this thing away, I can’t stand it!” ”

“Yes, I’m not wrong, I don’t get seasick.”

“You see, the body is great, and there is no reaction at all after going to sea for so long.”

“You did it on purpose!”

“What to eat for lunch today?” At sea, the conditions are simple, just eat roast cakes and roll green onions, and after going to the country of Yin, you are opening meat. ”

“You!!”

Feng shui takes turns, and now retribution comes.

Tang Ding waved his hand: “I don’t have time to deal with you now.” ”

Chang Mao’s stomach was bad: “Huh? Feel bad about eating? I also have a fishing rod there, or will I catch a big yellow croaker for you to stew now? ”

Tang Ding clenched his fists and rushed forward, “I’ll clean you up in the future!” ”

Chang Mao dodged very flexibly, and replied by the way: “I said it all, I don’t get seasick!” ”

One then talk about the gate building, and the other about the crotch shaft.

The lethality is amazing!

Looking at Tang Ding’s suffocating expression, Chang Mao only felt that he let out a bad breath and laughed.

After another ten days, Tang and Tang Ding finally adapted to sailing and are now playing mahjong in the treasure ship duty room.

Mahjong, invented by Chen Yong, came to spread only on a small scale.

Since Luo Guanzhong purchased a patent and opened a mahjong hall on Tianjie, it immediately spread outward at a crazy speed.

Especially the maritime merchants, almost everyone has to prepare a pair, which is used to pass the time when sailing.

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Empress Xu Dama Tang He to beat a few handfuls, Tang He instantly understood the charm of it, and after paying a lot of tuition, he could finally be called a master.

“I’m’.!”

“All 30,000 per hanging, or self-touching.”

“Hahaha!”

Tang and Hu made a big handful, and closed their mouths with a smile, and at this time Chen Xuan walked in from outside: “Grandpa, you can already see the land.” ”

“Oh?”

Tang Ding smoothly pushed all the mahjong in the middle, ready to die on the grounds of urgent official business.

Tang He walked outside, saw the hazy mountains in the mist, and immediately ordered: “The treasure ship is stopped, send ships to survey the water level and see if they can land on the shore!” ”

“Yes!”

The landing was a troublesome affair, and it took almost a day to complete it smoothly.

Tang He ordered his troops to set up a large camp, and another adjutant general, Liang Tingzhen, also came over at this time and drove hundreds of horses off the ship.

“Grandpa, this is the horses on Tara Island, the horses left some stallions, and let me bring all the rest!”

I saw that although the horse was short, he had a strong body, thick limbs, and obviously strong explosiveness and durability.

Tang He picked up the binoculars and turned to look, pointing to a mountain and asking, “Presumably that’s Iwami Silver Mountain.” ”

“Yes!”

The cause of this attack on the Kingdom of Yin was this silver mountain.

I heard that it can produce nearly eight million taels of silver a year, and after cutting off the cost of the fleet and the salaries of the crew, Liaozhai and the prince have made a profit of nearly two million yuan!

The military expenses of this expedition also depended on it to sustain it.

Soup and no reason not to check it out!

“Go.”

The guards brought them drapings, and several people turned over on their horses, although the vision was very low, and there was a feeling of riding a donkey, but the speed of the horse was not inferior to the Mongolian war horse, and it was even more robust when climbing the mountain.

Tang He patted the head of the war horse and said in admiration: “Sure enough, good horse!” ”

Iwami Silver Mountain itself was not far from the sea, and Yu Yuan also recruited the people of the Yin Kingdom to dig a canal.

The canal is full of houses on both sides, the style is not much different from the coastal of Zhejiang, and it should be the miners living in Yinshan.

There are also some merchant houses mixed inside, some of which were done by Yu Yuan, and other maritime merchants set up here.

He entered the Silver Mountain by relying on the waist plate given by the emperor and the army, and saw a cartload of silver mines being pushed out along the track.

This silver mountain is so huge that there is no end in sight at a glance!

Tang Ding said with emotion: “This kind of thing, let the barbarians such as the Wokou occupy, it is really wasted.” ”

Chang Mao nodded approvingly.

Chen Xuan said: “Daming has always lacked silver, and silver mines in Yunnan and other places are simply insufficient due to transportation difficulties. ”

“Only by subsidizing Daming with this silver mountain can we alleviate the dilemma of lack of silver.”

“Mr. Liaozhai opened the Yin Kingdom trade route by selling copper coins, and he occupied this place at that time.”

“Now it seems that it is very far-sighted.”

Tang He stepped forward, stopped one and asked, “Who are you in charge here?” ”

“Master?”

“It’s usually in the duty room at the mouth of the mine, and now I don’t know if it’s there, so I may have gone down the mine to inspect.”

“If only you didn’t wait.”

“Hmm!”

Tang He led people up, and when he entered the door, he found that the layout of the duty room was very simple, with tables, chairs and benches, a bookcase, and a hard bed for sleeping.

The tea on the table was still warm, and it should have been long since I left. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

On it was a practical lecture book, densely packed with annotations.

After waiting for a short time, a person pushed the door and walked in.

It was a young scholar, wearing a hat made of rattan, and Xiucai’s green clothes were covered with white stains.

“You are?”

“In the lower soup!”

“Grandpa Xinguo?” After checking the paperwork, the scholar first saluted, “I have already received Mr. Liaozhai’s document earlier. ”

“But I didn’t expect you to come so soon!”

Chang Mao asked curiously, “Are you also a real master?” ”

“Under Huanghuai!”

“It’s from Wenzhou, Zhejiang!”

“Why are you here?”

You know, many gentlemen are proud to stay in the Celestial Empire, and regard overseas as a barbaric place, and they are not willing to go to sea!

Huang Huai smiled and poured a cup of tea for each of them: “This is a long story.” ”

“When Fang Guozhen’s descendants rebelled, the entire Wenzhou was implicated.”

“I offended the dog official Wen Tianlu before for some remarks, and he was locked up in prison on trumped-up charges, but fortunately Mr. Liaozhai exposed the situation in Zhejiang and brought down the dog official, and the next Wenzhou prefect interrogated me to understand the reason, so I was released.”

“At that time, after I got out of prison, I was in a state of confusion and didn’t know what to do.”

“It just so happened that Sir’s fleet went to sea and lacked a single paperwork, so in order to repay Sir’s kindness, I signed up to come here.”

“After Sir found out, he sent me a lot of books on practical learning, and the changes of the Great Ming and the Great Kung Pao were also delivered on time, and if there was anything I didn’t understand, I could write to him and ask him!”

“I was still running back and forth between the Daming Kingdom before, and after discovering this silver mountain, I stayed here all year round.”

“Wait until everything is on track and then go back.”

“A man with feelings and righteousness!”

Tang Ding commented, and then suddenly recalled, and said excitedly: “Then if you calculate it like this, are you Mr. Liaozhai’s apprentice?” ”

“No, no, no!”

“It’s just that there are some questions to ask Sir, and with my skills, I really can’t be his student.”

Tang He asked, “Can you show me Silver Mountain?” ”

“Father-in-law, you want to see this?”

“Why, can’t it?”

“Not really, you need to do a good job of protection, the inside of the mine is slightly dangerous, the ash blowing method and the amalgamation method of silver smelting are toxic.”

“Hmm!”

After everything was ready, Huang Huai took the soup and visited the silver refining workshop.

Because of the large population here in the Wakoku, plus the fact that they were oppressed by the daimyo samurai and had a difficult life, it was easy to recruit silver craftsmen.

But Daming is completely different.

Therefore, transporting the silver mine back to be smelted in Daming is obviously not as good as smelting in the Yin Kingdom.

The group came to the front of the mine, the inside was black and rumbling, and only a tiny light could be seen, but they could not ignite it, for fear of explosion!

“How deep is that?”

“The silver mines on the surface have been dug, and now the depth of the mine is about 50 steps underground.”

Boom!

At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from the side, which startled them.

Tang He turned to look, followed the murmur to a small room, and found a huge machine inside.

Square, black and winter, the exterior is all wrapped in iron.

Several workers are operating.

“This is?”

“Oh.” Huang Huai said, “As the mine gets deeper and deeper, the groundwater infiltration is increasing. ”

“Sometimes it can submerge your knees, so obviously it delays mining!”

“This thing is for pumping water!”

Tang Ding asked curiously, “Just like that…”

At this time, the two workers pulled the switch hard, and an opening below opened, and Tang Ding saw that it was burning inside.

“That’s it…”

“Big iron stove?”

“Burning coal?”

“How did he pump water?”

Huang Huai explained: “To talk about the specific principle, it is to use air pressure. ”

“After heating here, the water in the tank will vaporize into steam, and then condense in front, and the air pressure inside the pipe will become low.”

“The water in the mine was pumped up as a result.”

Tang Ding listened to the clouds, but Chang Mao did not understand practical learning at all, and listened like a book from heaven.

“Erm…”

Huang Huai explained again: “Previously, a craftsman did an experiment in Qin Tianjian, pressing two hemispheres together, and then pumping out the air inside. ”

“In this way, the two hemispheres will be tightly pressed together, and even the galloping horse will not be able to pull apart!”

“Proof of the existence of atmospheric pressure.”

“This machine also uses this principle, the pipes are filled with water vapor, and the mine is filled with atmospheric pressure.”

“When the steam condenses, the pressure inside the pipe decreases, and the atmospheric pressure presses the water in the mine into the pipe.”

“That’s it.”

Whether they understood it or not, Chang Mao and Tang Ding looked at each other, and at the same time showed an expression of sudden realization.

“Oh!”

Tang and Ichito kicked and said his understanding.

“Well, to put it bluntly, it’s boiling water, right?”

Huang Huai: …

“Grandpa is right to say so!”

Tang He continued to ask, “When was this thing invented?” ”

“There are many mines in China, and they came from Anqing at the beginning.”

“Because Anqing coal is mainly supplied by Yingtian, it is liked by many dignitaries and dignitaries, so it is not missing for a moment.”

“And the frequent water seepage in the mine will delay mining, so a coal mine owner issued a reward to the practical learning society, subsidizing tens of thousands of taels of silver!”

“Originally, the wind wheel was used to pump water, but the power of the wind wheel was too small, and it could only pump a mine within ten steps at most, which was almost useless.”

“A craftsman invented this steam pump, which can pump mine water up to 300 paces deep.”

“There was also a water seepage incident during the mining of this silver mountain, so I sent Yu Yuan to buy this thing, although it is more troublesome to use, it needs to condense, it needs to close the valve, and it is necessary to check the seal, but I will get used to it after using more.”

“Everyone calls him a steam engine!”

Steam engine…

Chang Mao Tang Ding and the two kept looking around, obviously very curious about this huge and bulky thing!

Tang He didn’t pay much attention because he wasn’t proficient in practical learning, and he didn’t know that this dull-looking steam engine used a lot of advanced technology.

There is a newly developed spring barometer, and a kerosene thermometer is also installed.

Because of the need to ensure tightness, rubber imported from Nanyang is also used frequently.

Although there are many installations made of wood on it, the main body is all made of iron.

Even if the Sugang method is promoted, the price of iron is still expensive.

This is almost the most technical thing besides the printing technology of Qingtian Newspaper!

It also represents the way forward for the future…

The industrial revolution is in full swing!

Because of the presence of the steam engine, the room was a little stuffy, and Tang He walked out and took a deep breath.

At this time, Chen Xuan came to report: “Grandpa! ”

“It seems that some ships have spotted our landing, and the Wokou are assembling not far away!”

“Assemble?”

Tang He was interested when he heard this, and said: “It’s just the right time for us to see the power of rockets and new artillery!” ”

“Order, all-armament war!”

(Still wrote it, my Kavenka’s is like a dog)

(Is there a reward?) ）

(Almost vomiting blood).
