I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

The most fundamental reason restricting the maneuverability of the Ning Navy is actually that the artillery is too heavy. Unlike the original artillery of hundreds of catties and several thousand catties, the heaviest artillery of the Ning Navy is a five-inch rear-loading rifled gun. This 28-diameter gun weighs as much as eight thousand catties alone.

If you count the gun hoe, muffler, gun mirror, and base, the total weight is as high as 2 kilograms, and even the largest [-]-material Jusha-class warship in the Ning Navy cannot withstand the huge recoil.

Of course, the power of this heavy artillery is quite astonishing. If it is in the Phalanx, Jiannu can be reimbursed with one shot, blowing most of their troops into parts.

But the problem is that this kind of artillery is too heavy. So far, four of them have been produced, and they are still in the gun bureau. If the fire ox cart, that is, the steam locomotive, can be successfully produced, even if the wheeled fire ox cart cannot be towed, it can also be put on the steam locomotive.

Seeing that Guo Xin was so capable, Cheng Shijie decided to open it up. From later generations, he learned the principle of the steam engine and the structure of the steam engine train. He even found a handcrafted master on the Internet and ordered a handmade model of the steam engine train. Although it was a handmade model, the steam engine model weighed more than 380 kilograms.

After Cheng Shijie spent more than 2 yuan to purchase it, it took half a month to assemble it and send it to Guo Xin for research.

"It's incredible, so ingenious!"

When Guo Xin looked at the model steam engine train, his eyes were almost straightened, as if he was an old bachelor who had been single for more than 50 years and saw a beautiful woman.

In Guo Xin's eyes, this small steam engine train is exquisitely designed, and he actually understands most of the working principles, but it is hard for him to imagine that the various small parts are so precise that it can be said to be perfect, otherwise it would not be able to assemble at all. What makes Guo Xin even more unbelievable is the welding of the pipes, the solder joints are smooth, and there is no air leakage.

"Marshal, I don't know which master craftsman made this fire ox cart, can you recommend it?"

"Well, this great craftsman has passed away, and his apprentices have not learned the real skills..."

"What a pity!"

Guo Xin also didn't want such a legendary master to die. After all, judging from the results of this fire ox cart, this master's technology is much better than his own. If we can cooperate, we can definitely solve many problems!
"Marshal, can I dismantle this ox cart?"

"can!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Don't worry about dismantling it, there is another fire ox cart like this, but due to the serious damage, I'm afraid it won't be delivered in a short time!"

Guo Xin said with some hesitation: "Marshal, I'm afraid we'll ruin it!"

"Don't be afraid, don't worry about dismantling it, it's best to figure it out!"

Cheng Shijie patted the steam locomotive model and said: "It's best to understand the technical difficulties of this train. In fact, this train is not practical. It is too small. If it can be expanded ten times, or even a hundred times, it can carry hundreds of thousands of catties. As long as this kind of train appears, the curse of not selling firewood for hundreds of miles without selling grain for thousands of miles can be completely broken!"

Guo Xin also knew that what Cheng Shijie said was true. There is no shortage of food in Liaodong, and Shaanxi and Henan are the most in short supply. However, it is very difficult to transport food to Henan or Shaanxi, and [-]% to [-]% will be consumed on the way.

At the same time, Cheng Shijie returned to the Ninghai Navy General Mansion with two prototype vehicles from Guo Xin.Of course, Guo Xin also made the most improvements to this fire ox cart. First of all, he installed an armor-like shell. This shell is to protect the chariot from arrows or knives. Corner guards are installed on key troops, especially the front.

Looking at the car now, this fire ox cart looks sharp and sharp, with a unique aesthetic of industrial design.

Chen Guodong looked at the two strange vehicles and said, "Marshal, this car doesn't have a shaft, how can we get there?"

"Guodong asked a few people to drive these two cars for non-stop testing until they were scrapped!" It wasn't that Cheng Shijie couldn't believe the data provided by Guo Xin, and Guo Information probably didn't understand the theoretical data.Any invention is inseparable from violent testing. Only in extreme environments can the extreme parameters of a thing be tested.

Chen Guodong asked with some puzzlement: "Marshal, what is an uninterrupted test?"

Chen Guodong was a little embarrassed. In fact, he understood the five words, uninterrupted, and testing, but he didn't know how to do it.

Cheng Shijie patiently explained the concept of uninterrupted testing to Chen Guodong. Chen Guodong asked someone to drive a fire ox cart along the concrete roads, dirt roads, dirt roads, hillside roads, and ravines outside Jinzhou City, and began to drive desperately. A fire ox cart was loaded with more sandbags to test the ultimate load capacity.

Money can reach the sky.

This sentence is also true in Daming. Cheng Shijie rewarded a little-known Guo Xin and asked him to use 50 taels of silver to build an engineering college. The status is the same as the agricultural college in Zhenhai City and the medical college in Xinghai City.

This engineering college is built in Gaizhou, among the remaining mountains of Changbai Mountain, with a planned area of ​​360 million mu.Of course, the 360 million mu is not the construction area, but the planned area. Like the Agricultural College in Zhenhai City and the Medical College in Xinghai City, it has a test site in the county area.

The area of ​​Zhenhai City is also not small, with a total area of ​​more than 260 million mu, including more than 70 mu of grassland, more than 100 million mu of cultivated land, including forest land, and a considerable 14 mu of lake.Relatively speaking, Xinghai City is the smallest, with a total of just over 100 million mu of land, of which about one-third is mountainous.

The engineering college in Ninghai City has a large area, mainly because Cheng Shijie will experiment with railways in Ninghai City in the future, and Ninghai City has all terrains, including mountains, grasslands, plains, lakes, and forests.Only a variety of terrain environments can be suitable for the Institute of Engineering to conduct research on steam engine trains in the future.

Although not all of the 50 taels were directly handed over to Guo Xin, it was at Guo Xin's disposal. This treatment can be compared with Chen Zilong and Yang Qingyun. Now both Chen Zilong and Yang Qingyun are members of the Liaodong Management Committee. This treatment can be regarded as a step up to the sky.

The name Guo Xin also went from being unknown to being famous in Liaodong in an instant. Almost everyone knew that Guo Xin was able to reach the sky in one step because Guo Xin used the Fire Bull to make a Fire Bull Cart, which was appreciated by Cheng Shijie.

This greatly stimulated the technical craftsmen in Liaodong. Many people actually refused to accept Guo Xin. After all, the real inventor of Fire Bull was Wang Zheng.And Guo Xin just integrated the train and the four-wheeled carriage on the basis of Wang Zheng's invention of the fire ox.

Cheng Shijie spent 50 taels of silver, as if a catalyst had been added to the land of Liaodong, and a round of integration boom was launched in the industrial manufacturing of Liaodong.

On the day when the fire ox cart factory just broke ground, Cheng Shijie received another report that a private carriage factory in Jinzhou had produced a steam tricycle.Compared with the more complex four-wheel steering mechanism, the handlebar steering mechanism is simpler.

Cheng Shijie almost choked on his own saliva when he visited this tricycle named monster. This tricycle is not like the electric tricycle of later generations, but similar to a three-wheeled motorcycle. It has a wheel on the left side, a large chair, and a horizontal bar-shaped armrest in front of the chair.

This little monster is as weird as it needs to be. However, the problem is that this monster can go crazy at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour after 25 minutes of warm-up.

However, the stability of this monster is not very good, especially when turning, it is easy to roll over.

Cheng Shijie is the inventor of the monster, Zhao Xu, who can be regarded as a descendant of a famous family. He is the son of Zhao Shizhen's second son, Zhao Yi, and the grandson of the famous inventor Zhao Shizhen.

After Cheng Shijie encouraged Zhao Xu, he went to Xinghai City. Xinghai City has the largest medicinal material planting base in Liaodong, and now it has more than [-] mu of various medicinal materials to meet the research and application of medicinal materials in Xinghai City Medical College.

Cheng Shijie's support for Chinese medicine is all-round. After Yang Qingyun arrived in Liaodong, he allocated ten hundred households to Yang Qingyun, with a total of more than [-] people for Yang Qingyun to drive.

When Cheng Shijie came to Xinghai City, Yang Qingyun was undergoing an operation. Now Liaodong Xinghai Medical College has more than [-] doctors of various kinds, and as for their apprentices and grandchildren, there are as many as a thousand.

In fact, traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine have not received enough attention for a long time. Although the rulers of the past dynasties have also supported Chinese medicine, the scale and strength of the support are far from enough. It is also necessary to go to the mountains alone to collect herbs. Occasionally, there are drug dealers who plant medicinal materials, but they are only driven by economic interests and have a lot of randomness.

Cheng Shijie is now using hundreds of thousands of acres of land for planting Chinese herbal medicines. Not to mention how high the level of Chinese medicine in Liaodong can be, at least large-scale planting of Chinese herbal medicines is no problem.

In fact, the study of Chinese medicine is not that difficult. As long as you are willing to spend money, those traditional Chinese patent medicines can always find a suitable ratio according to the formula handed down.

However, this time the experiment was very unsuccessful. Yang Qingyun originally wanted to connect a severed hand to a worker whose wrist had been severed. This operation would be extremely difficult in future generations. However, Yang Qingyun helped for six hours, but the patient still did not get off the operating table.

Yang Qingyun didn't even meet Cheng Shijie, and locked himself in the room. It seemed that Yang Qingyun was hit this time.

On the second day, Yang Qingyun's mood finally stabilized.

"Master, I'm very sorry about what happened yesterday!"

Yang Qingyun apologized to Cheng Shijie. Although the medical school has trained tens of thousands of doctors in more than three years, in Yang Qingyun's eyes, these doctors are all unqualified doctors: "Master, the training of Chinese medicine is very slow. How can we train enough qualified doctors? How can we speed up the process?"

Cheng Shijie smiled lightly and said, "This question is actually not too complicated!"

In later generations, many people say that western medicine is faster and easier than traditional Chinese medicine in cultivating talents.In fact, this is very nonsense. If a western doctor is like an excellent Chinese medicine doctor, he must be proficient in internal medicine, brain surgery, thoracic surgery, pediatrics, maternal and child health care, oncology, and cardiology. It would be strange if they are faster than Chinese medicine.

Western medicine just subdivides medicine, just like making a precise car. It is very difficult to learn how to make a car. If the car is divided into several modules, it will be much easier.In later generations, this problem has actually been solved, and Chinese medicine has been divided into detailed disciplines just like Western medicine.

"There is only one way to classify subjects!"

"Division?"

"Correct!"

Cheng Shijie said: "It takes less than 20 or [-] years to train a general practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is difficult to achieve this without extremely high talent. But the problem is if it is only subdivided? For example, in acupuncture and moxibustion, such a doctor only needs to understand basic medical principles and acupuncture techniques, plus a little practice, and he can become a teacher."

Yang Qingyun said: "Then if he encounters other diseases, how should he solve them?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine is not only divided into departments in schools, but also in hospitals. In small hospitals, it can be divided into gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, and internal medicine. In large hospitals, it can be divided into respiratory medicine, urology, gastroenterology, cardiology, cerebrovascular, endocrinology, neurosurgery, pain surgery, etc. After subdivision, the teachers of medical schools can lead students to study and research at the same time!"

Regarding the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, Cheng Shijie also had his own thoughts. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "look, ask, diagnose, and cut".

Relatively speaking, western medicine is much simpler. In the 21st century, most of the "looking, asking, diagnosing, and cutting" of Chinese medicine have been replaced by machines, especially in the aspect of diagnosis, which has been basically replaced by machines. In fact, it is because of the lack of experience that there are fewer and fewer experienced doctors, or that top medical resources are becoming more and more precious, so machines are popular.

The model Cheng Shijie hopes is to use machines as much as possible to provide doctors with more references, but in terms of treatment methods, more traditional Chinese medicine methods should be used.

Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, the methods of western medicine are too rough, too harmful to patients, and many medicines have too many sequelae. In these aspects, Chinese medicine has irreplaceable advantages of western medicine. It is precisely because it is more difficult to train Chinese medicine talents. Western medicine has the opportunity to flourish.

The practice model of traditional Chinese medicine is a medical clinic, and it is very difficult to develop it to the scale of a hospital. Cheng Shijie has an unparalleled advantage in this area. Using the power of administration to promote the development of Chinese medicine, the effect is unimaginable.

In Cheng Shijie’s plan for Liaodong, each town should build at least one school, as well as one hospital. This hospital should at least include gynecology, pediatrics, internal medicine, and surgery. It can basically deal with some common diseases. County-level hospitals should be established in counties.

Yang Qingyun thought about it, looked at Cheng Shijie and said: "Commander, I feel that my medical skills are not good, so prepare..."

"Are you going to invite some famous doctors to join the medical school?"

"I have this idea!"

Cheng Shijie smiled lightly: "You can invite boldly, you can rest assured that you will always be the dean of Xinghai Medical College!"

When Cheng Shijie and Yang Qingyun were discussing how to improve the medical and health level in Liaodong, Huang Taiji in Shenyang encountered a difficulty.

In fact, after more than three years of recuperation, especially after Lindan Khan's son Ezhe led Mongolia to surrender to Huang Taiji, Jiannu basically recovered at least [-]% or [-]% of its strength in the Haizhou Battle.

With more than [-] remnants of Lin Dan Khan surrendering to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji had [-] to [-] horses and millions of sheep.

However, the problem is that everything has two sides. The increase of people and horses is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. These cattle, sheep and horses need to eat grass, but the problem is that the weather in the north is getting colder and drier, especially as the number of cattle and sheep increases, those sheep can't eat enough grass, even grass roots.

This forms a chain reaction. The more grass roots the sheep eat, the faster the grassland will degenerate. Without enough grass, there is no way to feed a large number of cattle and sheep. If there is no way to feed cattle and sheep, there is no way to feed those many horses.

In order to survive, they have only one way, and that is to go south.

However, the problem is that Ning Haijun has cast a psychological shadow on their establishment of slaves. If they don't find a way to restrain Ning Haijun's tactics, they still have no way to develop south.

The lack of grassland development is only one aspect of the difficulty. The other aspect of the difficulty is actually the shortage of materials. The salt and tea brought in by Shanxi merchants are almost exhausted. Not to mention the ordinary slaves, even Huang Taiji himself is as careful with salt as he is with monosodium glutamate when eating.

Now not only ordinary people can't hold on anymore, even Huang Taiji himself is about to go crazy.

At the court meeting held every ten days, the faces of the nobles who built slaves were extremely ugly, and Huang Taiji was even more gloomy. He looked at the crowd and said, "It's almost autumn, but the cattle and sheep don't have enough pasture to grow fat. When winter comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive. If this problem cannot be solved in time, the consequences will be very serious!"

Hauge didn't seem to hear Huang Taiji's words, his eyelids drooped, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and his mind wandered outside.

Daishan was picking his teeth with a thin string.

As for Dorgon, he was playing with his fingers.

Huang Taiji's eyes fell on Wu Shoujin, Chengzheng of the Household Department.

Wu Shoujin wept and said, "King Khan, there is nothing the servant can do. This year is drier than last year. We have more sheep and more cattle. A piece of pasture that could only house a hundred sheep now needs two or three hundred. The grass is simply not enough to eat..."

There are only two roads before Huang Taiji, one or kill some cattle and sheep, the grassland is enough to raise so many cattle and sheep, but the problem is that now their entire Dajin Kingdom, they have eaten one meal and no next meal, and even themselves have lost more than 30 catties from hunger, let alone other people?

Either go south and take back the Songliao Plain from the Ning Navy. With the vast Songliao Plain, the problem of insufficient pasture can be easily solved.

Hauge suddenly opened his eyes and roared: "Gather all the soldiers and horses, go south and fight to the death with Ning Haijun, and take back Liaoyang!"

Even if Hauge's head was not kicked by the donkey, he knew that he only wanted to take Liaoyang, and he didn't clamor to take back Liaodong and annihilate the Ning Navy.

Hauge's proposal has won the support of the younger generation.

Yue Tuo rolled his eyes at Hauge, secretly cursing him as mentally retarded, if they don't solve the artillery problem of Ning Haijun, what will they do to take back Liaoyang?
Take human life to consume Ning Haijun's bullets and shells?
What is certain is that the Ning Navy has more shells and bullets than the people of the Dajin Kingdom. If they want to exhaust the Ning Navy's bullets, unless their population of the Dajin Kingdom can be hundreds of times larger.

Conservatives and radicals immediately quarreled, and the two sides were arguing red-faced. The quarrels in the Ming court were all citing scriptures and hiding needles, but the quarrels in the Jiannu court were louder and more imposing than anyone else.

Huang Taiji only felt pain in his head, and felt from the bottom of his heart that he was too difficult.

Under the leadership of Nurhachi, the Jiannu Dao fought against the Ming Dynasty with the Seven Great Hatreds, and the Dajin Kingdom has been dancing on the blade. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Dajin Kingdom is really too small, and their Dajin Kingdom is like a gambler, betting on the country's fortune almost every time.

After the Battle of Fushun, they didn't even dare to go to Shenyang, especially before Saerhu, when they heard that Ming Dynasty was recruiting 47 troops to attack, how many Jianzhou warriors went to the battlefield with the mentality of dying?
Fortunately, the bet won that time, and this was the beginning of their betting on the country's fortune.Just imagine, if Daming hadn't been fighting so hard, the whole country would pull each other back.

Especially Li Chengliang's Li Jiajun, the imperial court guards against them as well as against thieves, can they win so smoothly?

If this war becomes a stalemate, what will happen to Daikin?
I dare not think about the consequences.

Huang Taiji knew very well that only a little old man, Sun Chengzong, was born in the Ming Dynasty, and he almost killed the Dajin Kingdom. If Sun Chengzong was dismissed in the sixth year of Tianqi, even if Sun Chengzong was dismissed half a year later, the Dajin Kingdom would not be able to persist.

The situation of occupying the entire Liaodong has improved, especially the battle of Dalinghe, but the problem is that the old man Sun Chengzong is hateful. The battle of Dalinghe was nominally won by the Jin Kingdom, but the problem is that they did not gain any benefits for the Dajin Kingdom.

The army rations were set ablaze by Zhang Chun, and the Dalinghe Fort City was an abandoned city without a grain of food. Nearly 2 soldiers surrendered, but these were just more than [-] mouths waiting to be fed.

After Cheng Shijie occupied southern Liaoning, large-scale land reclamation was the most regrettable decision made by the Kingdom of Jin. If he had known that Cheng Shijie was so difficult to deal with, he would have tried his best to kill him when he had just landed in southern Liaoning and his foothold was not stable.

But I was too greedy, thinking about 300 million mu of grain, and led the elite of the Eight Banners by myself, but Dajin lost the most critical battle.

The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. When the battle came to this point, Da Jin Guo lost all his family property, and he was beaten half to death by Cheng Shijie for nothing.Now they are even threatened by Cheng Shijie, but they can't beat Ning Haijun.

When all the ministers were exhausted from arguing, Huang Taiji sighed helplessly and said, "Is there any way to restrain Ning Haijun's artillery and firecrackers?"

All the ministers stared wide-eyed, expressing that they were tired and did not want to speak.

Huang Taiji roared angrily: "Could it be that the [-] to [-] elites of the powerful Dajin Kingdom can't even do this? Could it be that Dajin, who has [-] to [-] tigers and wolves, can only wait for death, and there is nothing he can do?"

Dai Shan said with a bitter face: "King Khan calm down, it's not that the slaves didn't try their best, they really can't do it! Ning Haijun's artillery fires so fast, even if all the slaves are exhausted, they can't reach them... Besides, they are strong and strong, it is really very difficult to defeat them!"

Duoduo also said: "Yes, King Khan, their firecrackers not only shoot fast, but also shoot far. Their soldiers are brave and fearless, no matter how hard they fight, they can't beat them!"

There is another reason that the ministers dare not say.

The great generals of the Kingdom of Jin, such as Amin, Manggurtai, Abatai, and Dege, were defeated simply because Ning Haijun was too strong, and this method of killing people with a knife is what you, fat old man, are best at.

In other words, when the Dajin Kingdom was victorious, Huang Taiji could use his prestige to suppress all opposition voices, but the problem was that with the defeat of Liaoyang, Huang Taiji's prestige was not as good as before.

Especially the old Fourteenth Dorgon, he didn't like Huang Taiji no matter what.

What Huang Taiji didn't know was that Liaodong has now entered the era of industrialization, and the daily development is extremely fast, especially with the emergence of steam engines, Liaodong's development will be even faster.

The technicians at the Liaodong Gun Bureau have already solved the problem of the barrel rifling. In other words, Cheng Shijie requires a rifle with a long range, within the range of one to two hundred paces, that can accurately shoot the enemy, and will soon be successfully mass-produced.

Moreover, the emergence of steam engine trains will keep traditional cavalry away from the stage of history.

Of course, the headaches for Huang Taiji and Jiannu were not Ning Haijun's thunderbolts and artillery. With the power of thunderbolts and artillery, they could certainly cause heavy casualties to Jiannu.

But the problem is, if there is no trench warfare tactics of the Ning Navy, if they are on the Great Plains, they can also take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry, and they can also use their lives to rush to the front of the Ning Navy.

However, what troubled them the most was actually Ning Haijun's trench warfare tactics.

When Huang Taiji was in despair, Fan Wencheng said: "King Khan, this slave has an idea!"

"what?"

"We can use the way of others to give back to others!"

Fan Wencheng smiled faintly: "Ning Haijun's trench tactics are not complicated. We can learn from them to dig trenches and build parapets, and see how Ning Haijun breaks through this line of defense. If Ning Haiyan can easily break through, we can learn Ning Haijun's tactics and deal with Ning Haifa in turn!"

"Wonderful!"

Huang Taiji said happily: "Just do what Fan Qing said!"

Following Fan Wencheng's proposal, he pointed out a feasible plan to Huang Taiji and all the slaves, so he sold the pot and sold iron, and Jian Nu still built a batch of shovels for the Jian slaves to dig trenches.

The tactics of trenches and walls are not too technically difficult. Even if the level of science and technology of Jiannu is backward, they can learn a lot according to Ning Haijun's method.

In this way, a trench about [-] kilometers long was quickly formed under the hard work of Jiannu's coated slaves, forming a line of defense dominated by trenches and parapets.

A Niuluerzhen Jiannu cavalry began to cross the deep river, that is, to cross the default border with the Ning navy.

If in the past, a single Niulu cavalry dared to attack tens of thousands of Ming troops, now they have more than [-] cavalry, but like thieves, they quietly crossed the river in the dark.

It was just very unsatisfactory, and just as they crossed over, they saw a devastating firework rising in the distance.

Fireworks exploded in the air, and then another firework rose farther away.

Looking at this scene, the slave-building cavalrymen were stunned and said, "Is the reaction too fast?"

The formation of the slave cavalry was found near Longgangshan Town, and the news was sent to Jinzhou City as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the Ning Navy soldiers who had been suffocated for a long time quickly assembled.

In their eyes, Jiannu is nothing but money. (end of this chapter)
