Zhuo Qihua

Chapter 233 Boiling

The military exercise a month later, although it was only the special battalion's personal guards for the generals, the Ministry of War and the cabinet attached great importance to it.After the Tianshou Festival, Emperor Yong'an received generals in Fengtian Hall every day.Emperor Yong'an will only pay more attention to this new type of military training mode.The current conditions are not good. After the Mata country builds a railway, breaking the inconvenient boundaries between regions, the exercises and drills between the Mata country's troops will be more convenient.

All the sea charts in Zhuo Ji's hands have been redrawn and handed over to Emperor Yong'an. Now he spends half a day doing research and half a day writing his medical books.Zhuo Ji doesn't use a quill anymore, he also uses a fountain pen. He probably won't be able to learn calligraphy in his life, and he doesn't have time to practice at present.When Emperor Yong'an "retires" in the future, he might have time to learn characters from Emperor Yong'an.

Yuan Xiu came in from the outside: "Master, His Majesty sent someone to invite Master to Fengtian Hall."

Zhuo Ji put down his pen: "Did someone say what it is?"

Yuan Xiu: "The servant asked, and the eunuch who delivered the decree said that he didn't know what happened, but the six ministers and cabinet ministers are all in Fengtian Hall at the moment."

Zhuo Ji called Xiaohui to change his clothes.

When we arrived at the Xingxing Hall of Fengtian Hall, all the ministers in the house were there, and as soon as Zhuo Ji came in, Emperor Yong'an said without hesitation: "By the way, the textile loom of the Academy of Sciences has been made, you can come with me to have a look. "

Zhuo Ji was very happy when he heard that: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Ji and a group of ministers to the Academy of Sciences.It is already visible to the naked eye that the long-distance voyage can bring back a lot of wealth and overseas materials for the Mata country.Domestically, anthracite coal fields are already being mined, and people in the capital and surrounding areas will be able to use cheap briquettes this winter.With the expansion of mining, most areas in the north will gradually be able to use cheap briquettes instead of expensive charcoal.The large amount of gold and silver brought back from Peiban ensured the smooth development of the "Damata Bank", and these gold and silver were used as loans from various places, which in turn led to the construction of roads.

Clothing, food, housing, transportation, and textile machines, once successful, can solve the problem of clothing for the common people.If the steam engine can be successfully researched, then the application of the steam engine in textiles and transportation will solve the problems of people's clothing and transportation convenience to a greater extent.Potatoes and sweet potatoes grown in various places, and the development of agricultural planting in Hanjiang Prefecture and Nanyue region have greatly alleviated the problem of food for the common people.With the development of all walks of life and the common people having money, housing is no longer a problem.One ring within one ring, one row within one row... Mata country is already developing in great strides.

When they arrived at the Academy of Sciences, under the leadership of Shi Yu, the group went directly to the place where the textile machines were placed.The Academy of Sciences made a total of 4 textile machines according to the drawings.After entering the house, Emperor Yong'an let go of Zhuo Ji's hand.Zhuo Ji walked up to the four looms, touched them while looking at them, and then asked, "Have you ever actually operated them?"

The craftsman in charge stepped forward and handed over a piece of cloth with both hands: "Return to me, this is the cloth woven by the loom, please take a look at it."

Zhuo Ji took a piece of cloth, examined it carefully, and asked, "How efficient is the loom?"

The craftsman in charge straightened his back immediately and introduced it excitedly.

The research institutes, the craftsmen who worked in their own studios or led the team to study have all come out.Since Guo Zheng and Song Zhixin were not the responsible craftsmen of the textile machines, they stood relatively at the back.Song Zhixin was alright, but Guo Zheng was staring at Shun Yu, who was wearing a veiled hat, without blinking.Seeing his colleagues explaining the benefits of the textile machine to Zuo, while Zuo was standing in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty obviously valued Zuo's opinion on the textile machine more, Guo Zheng's heart beat a few beats faster again.

Guo Zheng and Song Zhixin led two teams of craftsmen to study the most difficult steam engine and steam locomotive in the Academy of Sciences.Song Zhixin and his team specialize in materials, but Guo Zheng has to master all the core technologies and theoretical research of steam engines and steam locomotives.During this process, Guo Zheng encountered unprecedented difficulties.For these difficulties, Guo is excited and high-spirited.Especially after returning from the hunting ground last year, the dean brought back a lot of theoretical guidance from an "expert", and Guo Zheng was suddenly enlightened.

But at this moment, looking at Shun Shun, Guo Zheng's suspicions became more and more intense.In the hunting ground, he had personally told Shun Shun about all the difficulties he had encountered on the steam engine and steam locomotive, and it was the dean who asked him to talk about it.Later, he let him go, and he also saw with his own eyes that the dean was still with him after that, and took out a pen and paper to record something.After returning from the hunting ground, the dean gave him a big surprise.As a first-class craftsman of the Academy of Sciences, and a leader in physics and mathematics theory of the Academy of Sciences, Guo Zheng knew very well that there was an expert behind the dean.At this moment, Guo Zheng has absolute reason to doubt whether Shun Yu is the expert? !Otherwise, why would the dean disclose the secrets of the Academy of Sciences to Shun Xi, and even let him tell Shun Xi about the difficulties he encountered?

After the responsible craftsman finished speaking, Zhuo Ji didn't say anything, but returned the piece of cloth.After that, Shi Yu made the decision and took His Majesty and Zuo Zu to visit various departments of the Academy of Sciences, and asked the heads of each department, as well as all the first-level and second-level craftsmen of the whole academy to come to meet His Majesty and Zuo Zu.When visiting the research and development room of the steam engine, Zhuo Ji asked Guo Zheng to take out all the blueprints they had researched so far.Zhuo Ji still didn't say anything on the spot.

It was already half afternoon after visiting the Academy of Sciences.Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Ji back to the palace by car and returned to Fengtian Hall, Emperor Yong'an left Shi Yu alone.Zhuo Ji, who had changed his clothes, sat on the Arhat bed in Qinwen Hall and said that Shi Yu took a pencil to take notes seriously, and Emperor Yong'an sat on the other side of the Arhat bed so as not to disturb Aishi.By the time Shi Yu left Fengtian Hall, it was already dark.

After Shi Yu left, Emperor Yong'an ordered to pass on the meal, and then told Zhuo Ji a piece of gossip: "Chen Changgeng wants that Guo Zheng to be his son-in-law."

Zhuo Ji was stunned for a moment: "Did Chen Changgeng mention it to Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yong'an: "It seems that when you went to the autumn hunt for the first time, Chen Changgeng's daughter fell in love with Guo Zheng. I heard from Shi Yu that Guo Zheng has no intention of starting a family at the moment, and he is only focused on the steam engine. Those craftsmen are all research madmen, if you marry them, your life will be guaranteed, but it will be difficult for the husband and wife to live in harmony."

Zhuo Ji nodded: "Love is different from marriage. Love is what it is. Marriage requires the joint efforts of two people. After marriage, the husband and wife can't see each other for ten days and a half months. After a long time, there will definitely be problems. But doesn't the research institute have a dormitory? A craftsman with a family can live in a single room, let his wife stay with him, and take care of the daily life. Chen Ying will like Guo Zheng, which shows that she is also a girl with her own ideas, and Chen Changgeng is also enlightened enough. "

Emperor Yong'an said with disgust: "He is not enlightened, he is watching the craftsmen of the Fourth Academy (adding money) have a bright future. He hasn't come to ask for a decree, and I will not decree a marriage. Wait for the military exercise Later."

After intensive preparations for a month, on April [-]th, on the day of your birthday, this special military exercise in the country officially kicked off.The soldiers participating in the military exercise were led by Qin Su and Qin Zhongyi respectively. After being inspected by Emperor Yong'an at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, they rushed to the location of the military exercise——Xifeng Village.

The villagers of Xifeng Village have been temporarily moved out.Both sides of the military exercise use Xifeng Mountain as a strategic base. Whoever can hold the stronghold, get the map fragments buried on Xifeng Mountain in advance, and the team that finds the peerless sword buried on the top of Xifeng Mountain will be the victor.Early in the morning, Emperor Yong'an brought Zhuo Ji, King Qin, King Qi and important court officials to Daying in the suburbs of Beijing.After reviewing the red and blue teams, Emperor Yong'an ordered the military exercise to begin.

The red and blue sides drove to Xifeng Village, all running forward.Emperor Yong'an, Zhuo Ji and the rest went to the viewing platform by car. They would have a telescope in their hands, and there would be special announcers going back and forth between the two places to report the latest situation of the battle between the two sides in the military exercise to His Majesty, 忍俍 and all the adults in time.

Zhuo Ji was sitting next to Emperor Yong'an as the battle flags fluttered.He is very confident in the combat capability of the special battalion.King Qin and King Qi were even more excited than the soldiers in the military exercise.When the special battalion was officially unveiled last time, the two of them were envious of the equipment of the special battalion.The individual equipment of the special battalion is currently the most advanced among all the military branches in the country, and the only one that can barely match them is the kite team, even the soldiers of the firearms battalion are envious of them.

Following the sound of Emperor Yong'an's subzero, the military exercise officially began.The red and blue sides are not allowed to use thermal weapons.As soon as the exercise started, soldiers from both sides quickly set up defensive offensives in their strongholds, and sent scouts to investigate the enemy's movements.After the scouts from the guards sent out, no one came back. Half an hour later, the special battalion had already started to attack.

The two sides must defend their respective strongholds, and search for map fragments to find the peerless sword.The soldiers of the special battalion are like ghosts, whether they are walking in the mountains and forests or cooperating in combat, they have shown great strength.There was always a smile on the corner of Zhuo Ji's mouth, and Emperor Yong'an never put down the telescope in his hand.Zhang Xian and Feng Xi felt like Cat's Claw, they wanted to see it too.

Zhuo Ji glanced left and right, and said, "Zhang Xian."

Zhang Xian hastily bowed over: "俍俍."

Zhuo Ji handed him the binoculars in his hand: "You guys should take a look too, you will learn a lot."

Zhang Xian was overjoyed: "Thank you, servant girl!"

Emperor Yong'an put down the binoculars: "What, are you tired?"

Zhuo Ji picked up the tea bowl: "I know the ending, so I don't need to read it."

Emperor Yong'an laughed, leaned over and said in a low voice: "If Marquis Qin knows, he might not hit the wall."

Zhuo Ji tapped Emperor Yong'an's lips: "So Your Majesty has to keep it a secret from your servant."

Emperor Yong'an chuckled twice, sat up straight and continued to pick up the binoculars to watch the battle.

Zhuo Ji sat there, drinking tea, eating snacks and fruits.Chang Jing and Xiao Hui waited on him.Zhang Xian stared at it for a while to satisfy his hunger, and handed the telescope to Feng Xi. He boldly walked behind He Qu, and took over the work from Chang Jing and Xiao Hui.Seeing this, Chang Jing and Xiaohui saw that His Majesty didn't respond, so they boldly went to Feng Xi's side to wait and see.

Among the aristocrats who moved from Nanzhao and Nanyue regions to live in the capital sitting in the back, there were also a few lucky enough to be allocated rare telescopes.For this thing, the few who got it couldn't put it down, and once again lamented the power of Mata country in their hearts.No wonder Mata country can be invincible on the battlefield.

As for His Majesty the Emperor, he only brought his pet servant, Shun Yu, to observe this exercise, and Shun Yu, who was so indifferent, gave the eunuch the precious binoculars for use. This publicity alone is enough to see this noble lord The weight in Emperor Yong'an's heart.Not to mention the intimacy that Emperor Yong'an showed in front of everyone.

This exercise lasted for three days, Emperor Yong'an and Zhuo Ji stayed outside for three days.The pro-guards lost their stronghold on the second day, and in the process of searching for map fragments in the mountains and forests, nearly half of the soldiers of the pro-guards "died" at the hands of soldiers of the special battalion.The final result was as Zhuo Ji said, without any suspense.As the commander of the special battalion, Qin Zhongyi successfully found the "Peerless Sword" buried deep on the top of the mountain based on the complete map assembled from all the map fragments they obtained.

Qin Su blushed from losing.He has always been confident in his ability to lead the army, but he didn't expect to be defeated by his son this time.Whether it's individual combat capability or coordinated combat strength, the gap between the pro-guards and the special battalion is a Hanjiang River!

Emperor Yong'an was undoubtedly in the best mood.The entire special battalion was rewarded on the spot, and the 20 soldiers who showed the most two-eyed performance in this exercise were also rewarded, and they were promoted to captain, captain, centurion, and thousand commander.

Qin Su lost, but Emperor Yong'an did not punish him.The purpose of this exercise was originally to let everyone more intuitively understand the significance of the existence of the special battalion, a new military branch.Back in the capital, Emperor Yong'an held a court meeting.The special battalion led by Qin Zhongyi was directly under Emperor Yong'an. At the same time, every army in Mata country with more than 5 frontier troops stationed in the frontier had to form a corresponding special vanguard, and the required instructors were directly assigned by Emperor Yong'an.

Emperor Yong'an didn't know how to fight, and didn't understand military affairs. During his grandson period, in order to ensure his safety, he rarely went out of the palace, let alone went to the border to practice with the army.After Emperor Yong'an ascended the throne, he was able to successfully quell the rebellion of the three emperor uncles, all because of the support of the Lin family.The prestige of the Lin family in the army was the key to Emperor Yong'an's ability to secure the throne at a young age.When Lin Xieshan handed over the seal of the great general, most of the generals were dissatisfied. They believed that the emperor had exhausted all his bows, and that the general was made a duke of the state, and his entry into the cabinet was nothing more than a disguised seizure of power by his majesty.

Now, no general will have such an idea again.Your Majesty may not know how to fight or military affairs, but His Majesty's military foresight and achievements are absolutely unprecedented!They also fully believed that the general who handed over the seal of the general was absolutely willing.

With the formation of special military branches, with Emperor Yong'an's layout to enhance the overall military strength of the Mata country, and with Emperor Yong'an's spare no effort to support the Fourth Academy, the take-off of Mata country is unstoppable.

"Long live your majesty, long live!"

In the Taiji Hall, all civil servants and generals knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and shouted "Long live Your Majesty" in a sincere and convincing voice.And in the hearts of some people, they are also shouting at the same time, "(by the way) 忍俍千寿千寿,千千寿!"

Emperor Yong'an sat on the dragon chair and accepted the worship of the officials.Returning to Danyang Palace from Taiji Hall, Emperor Yong'an went straight to Xiangfu Palace.Stepping into the gate of Xiangfu Palace, seeing the person standing in front of him with a smile waiting for him, Emperor Yong'an also showed a gentle smile, walked forward and held the other person's hand with one hand, and wrapped his arms around the other person's waist with the other, holding him brought into the house.In this life, Shun Zhuo Ji will be the indispensable person behind him.He was glad that that night, he went to the West Third Courtyard because of his upset mood.He regretted that he went too late that night.
