Prince of Chaos

Chapter 424 Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find

For Zhu Changluo, the dreams of Qingliu can only be described in two words, which is ridiculous!
If Zhu Changluo is not a time traveler and has no desire for power, maybe the Donglin party members can succeed.

However, history makes no assumptions!The Taichang Emperor in history struggled all his life and finally became the emperor, but within a month, he hurriedly deleted his account and went offline.

Emperor Tianqi, who came online next, may not have any idea about power, but he can't stop him from having a Nine Thousand Years with ideals and aspirations.

When the ideals and interests of the two sides began to conflict, the unruly Wei Zhongxian really made the Donglin Party, a group of high-sighted and low-handed political fighters, suffer a lot!
Then, the two sides fell into endless internal friction, and they didn't stop until Daming was exhausted.

Although, when the Qing Dynasty first entered the customs, they still wanted to continue to fight in the court of the Qing Dynasty people, but the emerging dynasty was not comparable to the decayed and perished Ming Dynasty.

Their first monarchs were all characters who came out of the sea of ​​swords and flames. How could such a group of people be manipulated by such boring political struggles?They have strong soldiers and horses in their hands, and there is a group of new landlords waiting to be fed, eager to replace the old landlords.

At this time, if they don't continue the political struggle with long-sightedness, their existing interests will be divided up by the emerging landlord class.

So, in the end they also got up, and felt that the water was a little cold, and their scalps were a little itchy. It was time to shave their heads to show their loyalty to Xinchao.

It can be seen that the political struggle of these people is not really for the so-called ideals at all, they are for the benefit, when they find that their own interests are almost lost, they will be very honest and never mention it again. What about political ideals and political struggles.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo, who has seen through their essence, will not spend too much emotion on them at all. When he has cultivated enough power to replace them, they will be swept into the garbage dump of history.

On this day, Zhu Changluo was watching the memorial in Ciqing Palace as usual, when Wei Zhongxian quietly came to report a piece of news.

"Your Highness, a Xiyi man has come to Beijing."

Zhu Changluo didn't express anything when he heard Wei Zhongxian say that a Xiyi person came to Beijing.Zhu Changluo simply hummed and continued to look at the memorial in his hand.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian continued: "He came with him, and a prodigy Xu Guangqi that His Highness once mentioned."

In fact, it is a bit too much for Zhu Changluo to call Xu Guangqi a prodigy. Xu Guangqi was born in 41 years of Jiajing, and now it is 25 years of Wanli. He is already in his thirties.It's always a little weird for a guy in his thirties to be called a child prodigy.

After Zhu Changluo heard the name Xu Guangqi, he put down the memorial in his hand.

"This Xiyi man is called Matteo Ricci?"

Zhu Changluo asked tentatively.

This question startled Wei Zhongxian.It seems that there are other intelligence-gathering personnel beside His Highness.

Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian's pressure doubled.

Wei Zhongxian lowered his body and replied, "Yes, Your Highness. This Xiyi man is Matteo Ricci."

Zhu Changluo became interested. This is really a happy event. Chen Zhenlong brought potatoes, corn and rubber seeds back from Dongzhou.This time Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci appeared together.

In the history books of later generations, Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci had a very high status in the late Ming Dynasty. The greatest influence was that they translated the Western mathematics masterpiece "Elements of Geometry".

Zhu Changluo said: "Make arrangements. I just want to meet Matteo Ricci and Xu Guangqi, but I can't be in the Ciqing Palace. I just want to meet them as ordinary people."

Wei Zhongxian didn't expect that Zhu Changluo would care so much about Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci, but, as a servant, he couldn't ask too many questions.

However, with the current identities of Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci, they are indeed not qualified to enter the palace. Xu Guangqi has not yet been awarded a Jinshi, and Matteo Ricci is from Xiyi.The status of both of them was too low, it would not do them any good to let them enter the palace to see each other.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian replied obediently, "Yes."

Thinking of meeting the famous all-round prodigy in history and Matteo Ricci who brought the world map to Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changluo's interest is undoubtedly huge.

The status of these two people in history is extremely high, and their achievements can almost be regarded as advancing part of the progress of ancient Chinese science.

Especially, in mathematics and astronomy.

Matteo Ricci brought western mathematical knowledge and astronomical knowledge, which broadened Xu Guangqi's horizons. Xu Guangqi combined what he had learned with traditional Chinese astronomical knowledge and mathematical knowledge to translate "Elements of Geometry" together with Matteo Ricci, and then Xu Guangqi He also completed the compilation of "Chongzhen Almanac".

In "Chongzhen Almanac", Xu Guangqi first introduced the concept of a round earth, and introduced the concepts of longitude and latitude.These concepts were undoubtedly state-of-the-art knowledge at that time.It was an unprecedented understanding!Directly and scientifically challenge the traditional astronomical concept of China since ancient times.

Moreover, he also drew the first all-day star map based on the Tycho star catalog and the traditional Chinese star catalog, and this star catalog became the basis of later Chinese star catalogs.In the calculation method of astronomy and geography, Xu Guangqi also introduced the accurate formulas of spherical and plane trigonometry, and firstly corrected the parallax, air difference and time difference.

It can be seen that this "Chongzhen Almanac" is of great significance. It has opened up the Chinese people's understanding of the universe and the earth.

Originally, Zhu Changluo also wanted to promote research in this area, but unfortunately, his knowledge of astronomy was pitifully poor. Except for the Big Dipper, he couldn't name the stars in the sky.So, let's do it.

Now that professional talents are here, Zhu Changluo is naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

After all, it is Zhu Changluo's current creed to use good steel on the blade.

In his eyes, Xu Guangqi is a piece of good steel, a piece of rough jade.

If the guidance is good enough, this person's achievements will definitely exceed his achievements in the original historical time and space.

After all, Zhu Changluo has knowledge hundreds of years ahead of this era. Although there are many things he doesn't understand, he can ask many good questions based on his previous knowledge.

In the eyes of a genius like Xu Guangqi, these problems are good teachers one after another.He can follow these questions to research greater and higher achievements!

"I didn't expect that after so many years, there would still be someone who made me feel excited."

Zhu Changluo really lamented Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci again. Although the research of these two people did not cause a sensation in the present world, as a descendant, Zhu Changluo knew their value.

The importance of the two of them can almost be described as a national treasure!

With such a treasure appearing in front of his eyes, if Zhu Changluo didn't grasp it tightly, then his mind would be completely rusted.

After all, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!

Xu Guangqi is such a "general". With him, Zhu Changluo is confident that his Xishan Institute of Technology and Xishan Institute of Physics will be able to reach a higher level!
In this regard, Zhu Changluo's expectations are extremely huge.
