Lord of the House

The marquee is originally a folk play. The candle is placed in the center, and the bottom **** is connected to a movable paper wheel. The edge of the paper wheel is inserted with paper bamboo pieces. The paper bamboo slices drive the paper wheel to rotate. Covering the lampshade, it is like a horse running around the flame of the lamp, so it is called a marquee lantern, also known as a horse riding lantern.

Lin Bie spent a lot of manpower and material resources sorting out various miscellaneous artisan books and scholars. The records about the revolving lantern can be traced back to the previous dynasty four hundred years ago.

Cao Ruhui, a scholar at that time, went to Beijing to take the exam. During the Zhongyuan Festival, he saw an early revolving lantern in Daliang and recorded it in his travel notes.

The world has long known the basic principle that heat can drive foreign objects to rotate, but for hundreds of years, this principle has only been used for play, and they do not know that the real changes that can cause social upheaval are hidden in this small revolving lantern.

To the north of Chenyuan Beiyuan, across the Longzangpu Inland River, there is a yard on the north bank. It was originally an iron work by the Ministry of Industry. Although the secret courtyard is three or four hundred steps away from Chenyuan, and it is also separated by the Longzangpu Inland River, it is difficult for the outside world to find it because of the passage and the wind and rain bridge.

After the banquet in Chen Yuan, Jiang Yue came across the aisle, and only then did Jiang Yue realize that the Ordnance Supervisor had such a secret courtyard here, purely to facilitate Lin Fu to come over at any time.

More than a dozen courtyards, entering from the gate of the mansion, are quite delicate, like residential houses, and some people live in them, but when you go inside, there are more mystery.

The revolving lanterns to see are in the third courtyard after entering the gate of the house. The house is tall and tall. Push the door and enter. There are dozens of revolving lanterns, big and small. The craftsman who started the attack lit the revolving lantern together.

Jiang Yue followed Lin Fu, Sun Jingxuan, and Ge Fu into the house, and first saw a few lanterns, which were no different from those seen in the lantern market, but were more beautiful and more precious. The glazed lanterns are perfect, and the pictures of people riding on horses are also painted by famous craftsmen. They can be regarded as treasures wherever they are placed, making people think that they should be hung on the palace of Chongguo.

In the next few lanterns, the lamps became larger and the shape of the lamps became easy. The paper wheels and paper bamboo pieces were also made of gold and iron. The purpose was to use the flame in the middle to rotate the wheels, not to watch.

For the next few, there are various rotating devices outside the wheel.

The last one can't even be called a marquee, and it's a monster that is half the height of a man, with an impeller on top. The craftsman opened the furnace valve, Jiang Yue saw the black coal in the furnace, poured oil on it, and ignited it. After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and white steam was sprayed from the air hole on the top of the pot and hit the impeller. Push the impeller to rotate quickly, blowing water vapor all over the room...

Lin Biexiu put his arms behind his back, watching the hot steam coming, he didn't avoid it, and smiled with Jiang Yue: "This is just a joke at the moment..."

Jiang Yue was stunned on the spot. When he built the armillary sphere, he exhausted his thoughts for the drive of the armillary sphere, and finally used water power to drive the stars. Some reasons are just separated by a layer of paper. The paper is so thin that it almost shines through.

"In the world, people who build weapons to drive away things are either people pulling mules, or water rushing," Jiang Yue recovered slightly from the shock, and said with emotion, "The marquee has existed for four or five hundred years, and millions of People have seen it, but don't know the mystery, the wisdom of adults is rare in the world..."

Lin Fu was ashamed. His knowledge of a three-legged cat was still at the level of a junior high school student in later generations. He could only roughly demonstrate the principle of a steam engine and shock a character like Jiang Yue. It was purely a coincidence.

Even if you know the principle of the steam engine, it will not be successful in a short time if you want to create a really practical steam engine. As far as Lin Fu knew, after the steam engine first appeared in the West, it took hundreds of generations to improve before it could be put into practical use.

In the past in Chongzhou, the conditions were still very limited, and not much resources could be devoted to it. Right now, it is possible to come up with some resources to do this. Of course, there are many problems to be solved, and Lin Bie doesn't know if he will be able to get on an ironclad ship driven by a steam turbine and go around the East China Sea in his lifetime.

Feeling ashamed in his heart, Lin Bie's expression did not change, and he smiled: "In my early years, I ran a prison island, and I used a large spinning machine to spin nine catties of yarn, which is four times that of an ordinary spinner. Many. Three looms can weave twelve pieces of silk in three days, which is much faster than usual. The beauty of machinery lies in this. Before, after working hard all his life, he could not eat enough to wrap his clothes. Labor and labor, to teach children. And the country wants to defend against foreign enemies, relying on the center will not be trapped in lack of financial resources. But when it comes to machinery, it is inseparable from expelling objects, just as Jiang Gong said, either water power, or animal power, or Manpower. As far as tradition is concerned, it may be exhausted. The wonder of using fire is considered by the world, but it is still slightly insufficient. When it comes to the source of fire, the common sense of the world is that there are plants and trees; Oil (petroleum) can ignite fire, and it is inexhaustible—those who make good use of fire can gain the world!”

"Jiang Yue has been taught!" Jiang Yue said, deeply impressed.

Lin Bie has thick skin, which is rare in the world. He picked Jiang Yue up and said, "I am also greedy for the heavens. If these things of contemplation and tricks can be of great use and greatness, it is up to Duke Jiang and Elder Ge. Come and get the job done..."

Jiang Yue himself is a person who is obsessed with miscellaneous studies. Lin Fu has other things. He will go back to Chen Yuan first, leaving Sun Jingxuan and Ge Fu to accompany Jiang Yue to visit. This secret research site was only moved from Chongzhou in early June.

********************

After coming out of the Ordnance Supervision and Secretarial Institute and returning to Chen Garden, Lin Bie paced over after knowing that Gao Zongting was still working in the front garden before leaving.

Lin Fu paid more attention to the overall situation, and gave a lot of energy to the government affairs. As for the specific and subtle arrangements of the war, he could only rely more on Gao Zongting, Song Fu, Qin Chengzu, Cao Zi'ang and others.

In order to accommodate Lin Fu, the former garden of Chen Yuan actually became an unofficial public hall outside the Privy Council, and most of the core military affairs were handled in the former garden.

Gao Zongting stood at his desk, holding a ruler in his hand, comparing and drawing on the map, when he saw Lin Fu pacing, he put down the ruler, and said, "Just now a batch of letters came from Jiangxi, and the luxury family is also stepping up in Jiangxi. Collect grain and send it to Shangrao and Jiangzhou. She Feixiong gathers troops and returns from Ganzhou north. Our opponent this time is likely to be She Feixiong!"

"East Sea Harrier..." Lin Fu frowned slightly, and the memory of She Feixiong was deep, as far away as the **** battle of Jiyang in the early years. Although he defended Jiyang alone in that battle and repelled the 3,000 East Sea pirates, She Feixiong used this battle to cleanse and weaken the forces of the East China Sea pirates who were not directly affiliated, and finally completely controlled the East China Sea pirates.

In that battle, there was no chance of winning or losing, and the great enemy Huaidong faced on the southern front was always the extravagant flying tiger.

The two brothers from the She family, She Feixiong's reputation for being good at fighting should be displayed on his younger brother. When the She family moved westward, She Feixiong was almost invincible and invincible, even Dong Yuan was also in his hands. suffered a lot. In the battle of Fuyang, Dong Yuan almost asked Dong Yuan to lose all his money.

The She family originally had 30,000 troops stationed in Shangrao. She Feixiong led his troops back north, and he was going to Shangrao. The She family's troops in Shangrao would increase to more than 50,000, and most of them were the elites of Bamin.

Thinking of this, Lin Fu said with a smile: "We are going to win this battle, and the She family's wealth will be wiped out, and the two sons of Shewenzhuang will be reimbursed."

At present, there are still 160,000 to 70,000 troops in Jiangxi and northern Fujian, but there are only 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers left in Bamin who are truly loyal to the luxury family and can fight. Almost half of them will be concentrated in Shangrao. Guard the east gate of Jiangxi.

She Feixiong and She Feihu are the heirlooms of Shewenzhuang, and they are also the two most famous sons of Shewenzhuang.

Gao Zongting just smiled. For him, he has been fighting the She family for almost half his life. He is also very familiar with Shewenzhuang and its two sons. Besides, he is more familiar with Shewenzhuang and its two sons. The Privy Council also has two people.

This war has involved the entire Jiangnan land. Millions of lives have been lost and tens of millions of financial resources have been consumed. Even if the dawn of victory is seen, it is difficult to relax.

Lin Fu remembered something and asked Gao Zongting, "Should the third person be sent out?"

"Oh, I'll be leaving in the early morning tonight," said Gao Zongting.

"Then go have a look!" Lin Fu said.

"It's all this night, the lord is still resting?" Gao Zongting said.

"The soldiers will sneak into the enemy's territory, and their lives will not be guaranteed. How much hardship can I have to stay up late to see them off?" Lin Fu said.

********************

In the dead of night, more than 300 horses and **** three carriages filed out from the Donghua Gate. The generals and soldiers defending the city all know that there is no one else except Duke Chongguo who can come out of the city with such a guard of honor.

In the dark, the chariot team walked along the city's heels. Outside the Donghua Gate and on the northwest bank of Moling Lake, there is a manor owned by the Military Intelligence Division, and the chariots galloped into the manor quietly.

Duke Chongguo came on a night patrol, and soon there was a commotion in the quiet manor, the door opened, and dozens of troops filed out from the left and right rooms, all standing in the atrium in masks. They were the third tantric room to be sent to various parts of Jiangxi.

In order to prevent a team from missing out and all the men and horses in danger, when entering Yishan Mountain and Jiuzi Mountain, each team's men and horses did not face each other directly. If it wasn't for Lin Fu who came to take a look, they would be on the road in batches after the early morning.

"Since the rebels took over Jiangxi, they have been forced to impose violent levies, and the people have suffered," Lin Bie stood with akimbo, looking at the secret whistle lined up in the atrium, "You are all children of Jiangxi, who would like to see your parents, uncles, brothers and sisters in your hometown? Those who are bullied by the rebels? However, good days will come without spitting on the palm of your hand. If you have to fight, you must fight with both hands, pick up swords and guns, and you will have good days. Now the people of Jiangxi have been oppressed to the extreme. , like a group of dry wood that has been in the sun for a long time, just waiting for you to go over and light it with your own hands. The contribution and sacrifice you will make are no less meaningful than the frontal battlefield. I came here specially to see you off and wait. Everyone has good news back to Jiangning, and he will be here to celebrate for everyone in the future!"

With the unfolding of the war, the She family's troops in Jiangxi will inevitably be concentrated on both sides of Shangrao and Jiangzhou, and the troops stationed in the hinterland will be greatly reduced. At the same time, in order to support the war on the second or even the third and fourth fronts, the luxury family must step up its exploitation of the hinterland of Jiangxi, and the squeeze on the people will also reach the extreme.

The time for the luxury family to occupy Jiangxi is still short, not to mention that ordinary people do not have a favorable impression of the luxury family, even the local gentry and wealthy are full of hostility to the luxury family.

You must know that under the command of Li Zhuo, the East Fujian Army who fought brutally against the She family for nearly ten years, most of the generals were born in Jiangxi~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are children of farmers who joined the army, and children of local nobles who pursued military exploits. The family has a **** feud—including Gao Zongting, Geng Quanshan, Chu Zheng, Chen Dingbang, and others, all of whom were generals from Jiangxi, and have extensive influence and network in their hometown in Jiangxi.

It may be difficult to break through the frontal battlefield, but once the Shangrao war begins, the luxury family's control over the hinterland of Jiangxi will inevitably be empty.

Lin Bie has selected Jiangxi nationals to train as secretaries to sneak back to his hometown three times. In addition to collecting information, his main job is to contact local resistance or hostility and hatred of the extravagant family, and launch those who cannot be exploited by the extravagant family. The people, launched a civil revolt, blossomed from all over the hinterland, and dealt a fatal blow to the luxury family.

Yishan and Jiuzishan are natural obstacles between Jiangning and Jiangxi, blocking the passage of the army, and they must go westward to Jiangxi: one is to go up the Yangtze River and enter Poyang Lake from Jiangzhou and Hukou; one is to go to Shangrao, from the upper reaches of the Xinjiang River And down; first, take Mindong, take Shanguan Pass. However, although Yishan and Jiuzishan are extremely dangerous, they cannot stop the passage of small groups of people.

When Deng Yu was defeated, nearly a thousand people went northward from the Yishan Mountains and defected to Yue Lengqiu.

Now that the Privy Council has dispatched more than 200 people to sneak into Jiangxi from between Yishan Mountains, it is not difficult at all, and more soldiers, armors and bows will be imported in the later period.

Thinking that the Huaisi refugee army relied on the thirteen deputy armors to revolt and caused chaos in the Central Plains, the secret room sent by the Military Intelligence Department to Jiangxi was much better than the original Huaisi army.

The earliest batch of secret rooms had sneaked in even before the luxury family occupied Jiangxi, and they already had a solid foundation in the area. More manpower and secretly input more soldiers, armors, swords and bows will cooperate with the frontal battlefields of Shangrao and Jiangzhou to launch an uprising. My QT room is open!
