The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 119
Back in his own room, Liang Asheng continued to work.

The light in the room was a bit dim, and there were various tools, large and small, on the table, such as hammers, files, handsaws, etc.

In addition, there is a stack of thick draft paper, which is drawn with charcoal, a very complicated mechanical model.

I saw four big characters written on the top of the draft paper, the fire boat will go!
It is clearly recorded in history textbooks that the steam engine was invented by Europeans!

Later, Watt improved the steam engine, solved the problem of piston and cylinder processing, put the steam engine into use, and directly promoted the outbreak of the first industrial revolution in human history.

Humanity has now entered the industrial age!
However, this understanding is wrong.

Because as early as the end of Ming Dynasty, some people in China had invented steam engines and even steam ships.

It is said in history that the fire boat will go by itself!

This big cow is called Wang Zheng, a native of Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. He has been proficient in mathematics, geometry, astronomy and other subjects since he was a child. He is the author of the book "Illustration of Qi Qi Qi Shuo".

Together with Xu Guangqi, he is called the King of South Xu and North!
A true technical master!
Compared with the West, where steam engine technology was put into practical use in the 200th century, the science and technology of the late Ming Dynasty was at least [-] years ahead of Europe in terms of the fireboat.

Rather than saying that Europe invented the steam engine, it is better to say that some missionaries took advantage of the war between Ming and Qing Dynasties and stole China's steam engine technology!
If it wasn’t for the fact that after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to stabilize its rule, it used literary prisons and enslaved education to interrupt the development of Chinese science. What would happen to Europe during the Industrial Revolution?
The old dog Qianlong repaired the Siku Quanshu, saying that he was repairing books, but in fact he collected books and then burned them in the name of repairing books!
How many Chinese science and technology and cultural treasures have been destroyed by one Siku Quanshu?
Let's take Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" as a simple example!
During the two successive wars of duck slices, thousands of foreigners beat the Manqing to the brim with their strong ships and guns.

Forcing the Qing Dynasty to sign various treaties that forfeit power and humiliate the country!

As a result, people of insight inside and outside the government and the public have deeply felt the risk of national subjugation and genocide.

He began to promote the Westernization Movement, hoping to restore the unstoppable decline of the Qing Dynasty.

As a result, during the Westernization Movement, the textbook Man Qing got was the English translation of "Tiangong Kaiwu".

It's so funny!

"Heavenly Creation", which is still regarded as a treasure by "foreign adults", was banned by my Qing Dynasty 200 years in advance!

If you want it, you have to buy it from Xiyang!
It is worth mentioning that in Japan at that time, there were also better translations of "Tiangong Kaiwu".

It is conceivable how many good things were destroyed by the literary inquisition of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
The accountant who taught Liang Asheng to read and write, his surname is Wang Dan and his first name is An, he is from Xi'an Prefecture.

They are descendants of Wang Zheng!
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he refused to shave his hair and change his clothes. After his death, he had no face to meet his ancestors. He left Nanyang incognito and came to Luzon Island.

After Liang Asheng received Wang An's teaching, he became fascinated by all kinds of machines.

The fire boat is one of the machines that he is most interested in!

……

In 1661 in the Western calendar, on the fifth day of March, the weather was fine.

The sun hangs high in the sky, exuding fiery light, and the clouds are rolling and relaxing, casting shadows on the earth.

In the chamber!

Zhu Hongyu sat upright at the head with piercing eyes, with a stern face and an unpredictable expression, making it impossible to see his happiness or anger.

In front of him, the generals of the Restoration Army and various civil servants knelt on the ground, trying to persuade them to enter.

Li Guangyuan knelt at the front and said loudly.

"The general is the emperor, please enthroned by heaven, and tell all the people, lead us to drive out the Tartars, restore China, and create the great cause of the emperor Taizu!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

"The general is the emperor, please enthroned by heaven, and tell all the people, lead us to drive out the Tartars, restore China, and create the great cause of the emperor Taizu!"

"..."

Faced with the persuasion of the people below, Zhu Hongyu was a bit confused.

He really didn't expect that the guys under him could make such a mess for him!
Good guy, how many soldiers, how many people, and how much land do I have to become the emperor?
The Grass Head King is not as hasty as himself!

Some time ago, Jin Yiwei reported that the subordinates were connecting together. Originally, Zhu Hongyu was a little vigilant, afraid that someone would cause trouble.

But he never expected that someone did make trouble, but it turned out to be such a thing!
Feeling the fiery eyes of the people below, Zhu Hongyu probably understood what they were thinking.

Zhu Hongyu's ascension to the throne as the emperor must be to make meritorious officials, so wouldn't they all be princes?

However, it is too urgent!
Zhu Hongyu coughed lightly and spoke.

"Not the time!"

"Not yet!"

"Huo Qubing, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, once said that the Xiongnu are still alive, so what is the family?"

"Now the general is in Nanyang, and the size of the Han soil has not yet been restored. The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty have almost all fallen into the hands of the Tatar chiefs."

"Hundreds of millions of Han people cried bitterly under the butcher's knives and iron hooves of the Tartars, looking south to the king's master!"

"How does this general have the face to call himself emperor?"

"Even if you become emperor, how do you worship the ancestor's mausoleum? Do you kowtow in the direction of the chieftain?"

There was some displeasure in Zhu Hongyu's voice, he could understand the desire of his subordinates to pursue fame and fortune.

He can give fame and fortune, but not now!

Amidst Zhu Hongyu's scolding, all the generals of the recovery army fell silent.

Zhu Hongyu got up from his seat, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and let his hair loose in a bun.

Looking around for a week, full of viciousness and determination, he spoke.

"Today, this general is here to show his ambition!"

"Never return to the Central Plains, never grow hair!"

After saying that, he picked up the long knife in his hand and cut off his hair.

Strands of long hair fell to the ground, followed by the sound of gasping for air!
Chinese people have attached great importance to hair since ancient times.

Whether it is a commoner or a high-ranking official, they all pay attention to a parent whose body, hair and skin are affected, and should not be easily damaged!

Especially after Cao Cao played a game of cutting hair and acting as the head, the hair was endowed with a different meaning.

This is why there was so much resistance to shaving hair and changing clothes after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

A decree to shave one's hair and make clothes easier caused waves of anti-Qing eruption after another in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, which had already been conquered.

Zhu Hongyu cut his will in front of everyone today, and his decisive attitude was undoubtedly revealed.

After a while, Zhu Hongyu finished cutting his hair, but since he did it himself, he didn't have a mirror.

The remaining hair stubble is uneven like a dog gnawing on it.

But Zhu Hongyu didn't care, he just felt relieved for a while.

To be honest, he played this cutting invention ambition, except to show his ambition to conquer the Central Plains in the north and never favor peace.

More for coolness and convenience!
In Luzon, the weather is so hot that every movement of the body will cause sweat on the forehead.

The long hair is shaved into short hair, which is easy to take care of, not to mention that there are no lice, and it is much cooler.

During this period of time, Zhu Hongyu has to do his hair in a bun every morning when he wakes up, and he has already started to feel annoyed.

This time is just right, just shave yourself a short hair!
