Chapter 458 Research progress on electricity

Looking at the commander-in-chief of the Second Army of the Imperial Guard Cavalry, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Zhu Youxiao was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Get up, you don't blame me for this matter. It's a lot of people outside the pass, and it's reasonable to not catch it. It seems that Dorgon is also lucky. At least Huang Taiji is lucky, so he escaped from my 100,000 imperial guards. I'm afraid he has arrived at Lin Dan Khan's tribe in the north of the desert now."

"Your Majesty cannot bear to punish the last general. The last general is ashamed. In the future, he will die thousands of times to repay Your Majesty's grace for not killing him!"

Oboi stood up and saluted Zhu Youxiao very seriously. Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and patted Oboi on the shoulder: "Get back, this battle of Yaoziling, your unit has suffered a lot of damage and is the most exhausted. Be sure to take a break in time, do a good job in the post-war soldiers' psychological counseling and rescue and comforting of the injured soldiers, and prepare for the next battle!"

Oboi retreated, and Yang Sichang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War who had been standing beside him, appeared in front of Zhu Youxiao and bowed: "Your Majesty, Jiannu has been completely eradicated by our Ming Dynasty. The upper-class powerful people, except Dorgon, have been executed, both men, women, and young. It can be said that Jiannu has no threat to our Ming Dynasty. Even if Dorgon is still alive, he can't cause any big waves. What is worrying about now is the Mongolian Lindan Khan's tribe. Lindan Khan's ambition to restore the former Yuan Dynasty has never been reduced in slightest. After fighting with our Ming Xizai Army and the Imperial Guards on the previous Western Expedition, he has not felt afraid of it and has expanded his army even more crazily, and has also accelerated the pace of annexation of other Mongolian tribes in the northern desert. I am afraid that this person will become a major border trouble for our Ming Dynasty in the future."

"I also received news from the Jinyiwei Department that Lin Danhan has always been coveting my Ming Dynasty. Since his thief is undead, let him taste the military power of my Ming Dynasty after the rest of the imperial guards are over. However, now that Jiannu has been destroyed, his Lin Danhan's tribe is in an isolated and helpless situation, we can try again whether he has the heart to oppose my Ming Dynasty, at least for the time being."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao ordered Wang Chengen to say, "Transfer to the commander of the Jinyiwei Xu Xianchun, and ordered him to strengthen the surveillance of Lin Dan Khan's tribe and secretly investigate Dorgon's whereabouts in Lin Dan Khan's tribe or other places; but whether Dorgon is in Lin Dan Khan's tribe or not, he must send an envoy to Lin Dan Khan's tribe to ask for people! If Lin Dan Khan handed over Dorgon's tribe or honestly explained that Dorgon did not come and was willing to send troops to cooperate with the Ming army to pursue the remnants of Dorgon's tribe, then he said

Ming Lin Danhan is a little sensible. I can keep him for a few more years, but if he refuses to hand over Dorgon and even scolds me for being disrespectful to me, he will find a reason to destroy him in the future. So the Qingliu officials all secretly said that I am poor and the military is not their soldiers, and I am not spending the money of the treasury. Otherwise, they will be told to die. Even if they want to send troops again, they will have to find a reason to avoid annoying me."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, Yang Sichang couldn't help but sneer. He knew how deep the water in the court was, especially since the opening of the commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty, commercial trade was unprecedentedly developed, which led to the fierceness of the struggle and conflict between a large number of officials representing merchants and officials representing the interests of the traditional gentry and landlord class. It was not much worse than that of the Tianqi seven years ago. Fortunately, His Majesty now monopolizes the military and financial powers and strictly controls the disputes between the Party and the corruption, which makes the entire court still appear to be harmonious.

However, it is obvious from the memorial and speeches in the hall that there are still many complaints about the current foreign wars and the opening of maritime trade, as well as the implementation of colonial rule against Java.

However, Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng are both officials of the military and Ministry of War systems. They are almost professional military strategists and are not very interested in politics. Therefore, their position is basically to remain neutral and not participate in political competitions.

Therefore, Yang Sichang had no choice but to smile at His Majesty Zhu Youxiao's troubles.

...

After Yang Sichang left, Zhu Youxiao also entered the Houting Court and took a dragon chariot to Kunning Palace.

It was already midsummer. Even though the Forbidden City was already covered with green shades, you could still feel the heat evaporated from the surface. Although Wang Chengen personally waved the fan of Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao's sweat beads continued to emerge from his forehead.

Zhu Youxiao was also very upset about this. If he were in modern times, he would definitely stay in the air-conditioned room, but at this time, Daming had not even had electricity, so let alone air-conditioning.

Today, the Ming Dynasty can only achieve indoor cooling by using ice cubes stored in winter, but the cost of this cooling is too high. In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, it is still better than air conditioning or even electric fans.

When Zhu Youxiao thought of the electric fan, he couldn't help but ask Wang Chengenlai: "How has the electrical research done in the Royal Academy of Sciences been doing recently, but the experiment showed no photoelectric effect."

"Report to Your Majesty, some time ago, a journal of miscellaneous studies just published a news that Fang Yizhiju, an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences, was coroned by a corona for the Thunderbolt Mother by using a kite tied with wire to ask for electricity from the Thunderbolt Mother. He woke up three days later. He heard that he offended the Thunderbolt Mother and ended up like this, so I think this electricity is only available to the gods, so no one wants to get it. It is probably not a simple matter for His Majesty to let the Academy of Sciences study electricity."

When Wang Chengen mentioned Fang Yizhi's incident, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "He did not offend Lei Gong and Ding Mother. Lei Gong and Ding Mother were clearly showing mercy. Otherwise, he would not just faint, but he would be afraid that his life would be gone. Who approved this kind of life-threatening experiment? Didn't I directly give the theoretical knowledge of photoelectric effect? ​​Why do I have to collect lightning and perform such dangerous experiments?"

"Report to Your Majesty, it was not approved by anyone. It is said that this Fang Yizhi did the experiment on his back on Master Xu. His purpose was to see what the power of the Majesty said was. Now it seems that this power is not just a simple thing for a god. Only the true dragon emperor like you, can know how powerful the power is..."

Before Wang Chengen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao: "Okay, don't just flatter me. The Academy of Sciences is working hard to study this thing. Isn't Fang Yizhi also working with the Western Phan Galileo from Florence? Let that Galileo also study it. I asked them to study mechanics and optoelectronics, but not just to see the rainbow and wait for the tree to hang apples."

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he wiped the sweat with a handkerchief and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's a pity that Faraday was born too late, otherwise he would just dig up the person, and maybe the Ming Dynasty would have the electricity as soon as possible.
