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

Chapter 58
Chapter 057

Sun Yuanhua was preconceived, thinking that Cheng Shijie had a misunderstanding with the Laiyang Zhang family, which was actually wrong.

There is really no misunderstanding between Cheng Shijie and the Zhang family of Laiyang. No one knows that Zhang Huairen of Zhensanshan was born in the Zhang family of Laiyang. Cheng Shijie knew it and didn't care.

Cheng Shijie believed that Zhang Huairen was just incapable of intimidating him.

When destroying Zhen Sanshan Zhang Huairen's troops, Cheng Shijie led the Ning Navy soldiers to arrest all Zhen Sanshan's troops, and no one escaped.

It's just that the problem lies with the women Cheng Shijie sent home.Liu Yueer, whose hometown is in Huangxian County, is actually a widow who looks at the moon. Three years ago, Liu Yueer was married to Feng Shaodong, the young owner of Feng's cloth village, by his father with a dowry gift of 20 taels of silver plus a cow.

Feng Shaodong was a tuberculosis patient, and he married Liu Yue'er because he heard that Liu Yue'er had good horoscope and handsome appearance, so he asked someone to propose marriage to the Liu family.As a result, Feng Shaodong died after three days.The Feng family attributed Feng Shaodong's death to Liu Yue'er.Then Liu Yue'er was driven back to her mother's house.

After Liu Yue'er returned to her natal family, she followed her brother's wine and food shop to help. With Liu Yue'er's help, the business of Liu's wine and food shop has improved a lot. By chance, Zhang Huairen met Huang County. Liu Yue'er, Zhang Huairen fell in love with Liu Yue'er at first sight, so he had a bad idea and snatched Liu Yue'er away.

Zhang Huairen didn't care about taking Liu Yue'er with him even if he took some time, so he put Liu Yue'er in Zhang's pawn shop in Huang County, but Zhang Huairen turned his head and forgot about Liu Yue'er.Xiao Xuan, the shopkeeper of the Zhang family's pawn shop, kept Liu Yue'er in captivity for more than six months. By chance, he met Zhang Huairen again.

Mentioning Liu Yue'er, Zhang Huairen remembered it now.He took Liu Yue'er back to Zhangzhuang Village's lair. This Liu Yue'er was born as a widow and worked as a waiter in Liu's wine and food shop for more than three years.

When Cheng Shijie led people to occupy Zhangzhuang Village, Liu Yueer was actually ready to run away. Zhang Huairen trusted her very much, and she took the opportunity to secretly hide some gold and silver jewelry, especially Zhang Huairen did not know where to get a piece of gold silk. The obscene clothes, which weighed more than 20 taels, were worn by Liu Yueer at that time.

The soldiers of Ning Haijun under Cheng Shijie's command could naturally be searched, so Liu Yue'er took the dry food that Cheng Shijie rewarded her, and she returned to her hometown in Huang County safely all the way.

Liu Yue'er was already well-known in Huang County, and soon after returning home, she was discovered by Zhang Ji's typical shopkeeper, Xiao Xuan. This Xiao Xuan naturally knew his young master's temper, even if Zhang Huairen got tired of Liu Yue'er, he would not let him go. At home, the biggest possibility is to put Liu Yue'er in the dog pen to kill him, or torture him to death.

The pawn shop originally kept thugs in captivity, so Xiao Xuan ordered the thugs to plunder Liu Yueer. After some threats, Liu Yueer led Cheng Shijie and Ning Haijun to wipe out Zhensanshan.Xiao Xuan didn't believe it at first, so he asked people to go to Zhangzhuang Village to check, and found that Zhangzhuang Village had become Tuntian Village of Ning Haijun.

After inquiring, it was found that these bandits were killed.After searching everywhere, he couldn't find any of Zhang Huairen's subordinates, so Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked Zhang Huairen's father, Zhang Sicheng.

Because Zhang Huairen is not only Zhang Sicheng's old son, but also a villain.Zhang Huairen's biological mother was the concubine of Zhang Sicheng's fourth brother Zhang Siliang.Although the status of concubines is not as high as that of wives, it is very common to transfer gifts to each other.But there are three kinds of concubines, one is a noble concubine, one is a good concubine, and the other is a lowly concubine.Concubine, concubine, and assistant room belong to noble concubines.The side room is a good concubine.Companion, concubine, maidservant and concubine are lowly concubines.

Usually the gifts from friends' families belonged to lowly concubines, or companions, concubines, or concubines bought from brothels, while Zhang Huairen's biological mother was Zhang Siliang's concubine.Once drunk, Zhang Sicheng took possession of his younger brother Zhang Siliang's concubine. Originally, this matter was going to happen without anyone noticing it.

But the problem is, if there is no accident, there will still be an accident. At that time, Zhang Siliang was studying in Nanjing, but Zhang Huairen's biological mother was pregnant. This was a scandal for the Zhang family. In order to cover up the scandal, Zhang Sicheng declared that Zhang Huairen was his nephew.

Of course, within the Zhang family, everyone who should know about it knows it, and those who don't know will never know.

In the end, it was his own. Apart from Zhang Huairen not being able to enter the family tree of the Zhang family, the young master of the Zhang family received all the treatment that one expects.It is precisely because of connivance that Zhang Huairen developed a tyrannical character.

Zhang Sicheng was still in Shanxi, and he could not receive any news for a while, but the Zhang family's revenge came soon after. First, they falsified Cheng Shijie to the governor's yamen for massacring good people and pretending to be meritorious.

In this way, even Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, will sell the Zhang family's face and deal with Cheng Shijie. As long as the Zhang family wants to make Cheng Shijie round, he will become round as long as he loses the official position of Ning Haijun's garrison. If Cheng Shijie becomes flat, he will become flat.

The Zhang family in Laiyang has this kind of strength. To deal with a military officer, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for Zhang Fei to eat bean sprouts?
What's more, Zhang's energy is not comparable to that of Wang Xiangchun. If Wang Xiangchun is a star entrepreneur in Wuqiao County, then Zhang's is a star entrepreneur in Shandong.

The gap between the two sides is almost equivalent to the gap between the richest man in the county and the richest man in the province.

……

Dengzhou is 240 miles away from Ninghai City, and it takes about four days to walk normally.

Just when Sun Yuanhua sent a messenger to tell him to go to Dengzhou to confront the Zhang family in Laiyang, Cheng Shijie was in the Gun Bureau and received a set of equipment sent by Sun Yuanhua. With these advanced equipment, more than 20 craftsmen were sent along with them.

The foreman is a Portuguese named Joao.This is a Portuguese phonetic translation, which means God's favorite.This name is a common term among the Portuguese, probably equivalent to Daming's Wang Ergou, or Da Zhuang.

Qiao Ao's Chinese is very fluent. If it weren't for his appearance, just listening to him, he seemed to think that the other party was from Dengzhou, and Cheng Shijie's accent was even more authentic.

"Dear garrison, don't look at this is just a pile of wood and steel machinery, this is a bed, specially used to polish the inner chamber of the cannon...Dear garrison, don't doubt its power, as long as the water power Enough, it only takes six hours to grind the bore of any cannon so smooth that a fly will fall down!"

Qiao Ao happily introduced another machine to Cheng Shijie: "This is a drilling machine, which is specially used for drilling gun barrels. If the hydraulic power is sufficient, it only takes two hours to drill a three-foot-long barrel. , and the scrap rate is extremely low!"

Despite Qiao Ao's self-confidence, Cheng Shijie thought of a hundred improvement plans the moment he saw these machines. Using wood as the frame is indeed easy, but the problem is that the wood is not hard enough, and it will cause vibration during the rotation of the knives.

As the saying goes, a small difference is a thousand miles away, and the vibration of the machine tool itself will cause a huge error, which is not even as good as Cheng Shijie's plan of vertical shaft cold casting.

However, if these mechanical equipments are handed over to the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty to develop and imitate them, they will definitely be able to make better ones.Sun Yuanhua, a technocrat, also made a mistake that most bureaucrats in later generations will make.

That is the superstitious Europa.Europa has indeed come ahead of Ming Dynasty in some aspects of technology, but the problem is that they have been lagging behind in many aspects, such as blast furnace steelmaking. It was not until 1707, which is the 46th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, that Europe invented fifty cubic meters. According to the large blast furnace unearthed in Xingyang, the 44 cubic meter blast furnace was a product of the Western Han Dynasty.

This is the gap.

These mechanical equipment are not only rough, but also poor in precision, they just use hydraulic power, that's all, Daming just restricts the use of mechanical equipment in the system, not incompetent.

The craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and the guards were craftsmen in their time, and inventing equipment would not bring them any income, but would cause them to lose their jobs. Will the craftsmen improve their tools?

The answer is yes, absolutely not.

You only do it when your head gets wet.

Very politely invite Qiao Ao, a Western expert, to take a break. Without wasting saliva, Cheng Shijie handed over the set of lathes, vertical lathes, milling machines and planers to the tape measure department.

Yes, this is a new department of the Ning Navy. It is responsible for the localization of important equipment and tools, such as dogleg knives, crossbows, carriages, and imitation bearings. With the improvement of steelmaking technology, High-carbon steel and steel-manganese steel were produced smoothly, and many things could be industrialized in the late Ming Dynasty.

Just when Cheng Shijie brought the craftsmen of the tape measure department to improve the equipment by adopting full steel, Cheng Hu said: "Father, Dengzhou has come!"

"Let him come over!"

Cheng Shijie found out that the person who came was actually an acquaintance. He didn't know about Dengzhou Governor Biaoqin Army Primary School, but now he knows. His name is Peng Jian. There are nine thousand in ten thousand.

"Brother Peng, it's been hard work from afar!"

Cheng Shijie cupped his hands towards Peng Jianhong, and then handed him a dog-leg knife.

Peng Jianhong said how embarrassing it was, but he took the dogleg knife honestly. At first glance, he knew that the knife was not ordinary, but was made of high manganese steel by the Ordnance Bureau. After double-liquid treatment, the hardness should be It has almost caught up with the industrial products of later generations, but the production efficiency is far inferior.

"Master Cheng, Master Futai asked you to take the news and go to Dengzhou City!"

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!"

Peng Jianhong is also his own professional ethics: "Master Cheng, when did you mess with the Zhang family in Laiyang?"

Cheng Shijie frowned slightly: "The Zhang family in Laiyang?"

"It's no big deal. You are now a popular person in front of Mr. Futai. Among the eight generals in Denglai's new army, who has seen Mr. Futai's good face? This time is a confrontation with the Zhang family in Laiyang. There should be nothing wrong with it." Trouble, the Zhang family is not easy to mess with, but Master Futai also needs to save face!"

Cheng Shijie didn't think too much about it. His confidence was that Zhang Huairen was still in his hands, and there were more than 200 people under Zhen Sanshan's command. They were all hostages.

We have a hostage in hand, afraid of shit.

Leaving from the tape measure department, Cheng Shijie took fifty personal guards of the personal guards, as well as Cheng Hu and Chen Guodong, to Dengzhou City in a carriage and RV.

The cold wind howled and the snowflakes fluttered.

Cheng Shijie's carriage house was still as warm as spring. With the shaking of the vehicle, Cheng Shijie closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Master Guard, Dengzhou City is here!"

"Enter the city!"
