Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 453 Research Progress on Electricity
Looking at Oboi, the commander-in-chief of the Second Cavalry Army of the Imperial Guard kneeling on the ground in front of him, Zhu Youxiao was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Get up, you can't blame you for this matter, there are few people outside the pass, It makes sense that he didn't get caught. It seems that this Dorgon is also a fate, at least Huang Taiji is a fate. He just escaped from my [-] imperial guards. Lindan Khan in the north."

"Your Majesty can't bear to offend the last general, the last general is ashamed, and he will die ten thousand times in the future to repay His Majesty's grace of not killing!"

Aobai stood up, and solemnly saluted Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, and patted Aobai on the shoulder: "Back down, all of you will be damaged in this battle at Yaoziling." The bigger and the most exhausted, it is necessary to take a rest in time, do a good job in the psychological counseling of the soldiers after the war and the rescue and comfort of the wounded soldiers, and prepare for the next big battle!"

Ao Bai retreated, and Yang Sichang, the left servant of the military department who had been standing by the side, appeared in front of Zhu Youxiao, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Jianu has been completely eradicated by my Daming, and the upper-level dignitaries, except Dorgon, regardless of male, female, or old Youdu has been executed. It can be said that Jiannu no longer poses any threat to my Ming Dynasty. Even if Dorgon is still alive, he will not be able to cause any big waves. What is worrying now is the Mongolian Lindan Khan tribe. Khan's ambition to restore the former Yuan Dynasty has never been a little bit less. The previous Western Expedition fought with our Daming Xizheng Army and the Imperial Guard Army once and suffered a slight setback. Now instead of feeling afraid because of it, it has expanded even more crazily. Raised an army, and accelerated the pace of annexing other Mongolian tribes in Mobei, I am afraid that this person will become a big problem for my Ming Dynasty in the future."

"I also got news from Jin Yiwei that this Lin Dan Khan has always coveted my Daming heart, since his evil intentions are not dead, I will let him taste the might of my Daming army after the rest of my imperial guards are over; but now Jiannu It has been destroyed, and his Lindan Khan tribe is already in a helpless situation, we can try again to see if he still has the heart to fight against me, Daming, at least for the time being."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao ordered Wang Chengen on the side: "Pass an order to Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, ordering him to strengthen the monitoring of the Lindan Khan's department, and secretly investigate Dorgon's whereabouts in the Lindan Khan's department or other places; Whether Dorgon is in Lindan Khan’s department, he has to send envoys to Lindan Khan’s important people! If Lindan Khan surrenders Dorgon or honestly explains that Dorgon did not come and is willing to send troops to cooperate with the Ming army to pursue Suppressing the remnants of Dorgon's tribe shows that Lin Dan Khan is quite acquainted, and I can keep him for a few more years, but if he refuses to hand over Dorgon and warns my Ming Dynasty that he is disrespectful to my Ming Dynasty, then it will be a shame. Find a reason to kill him in the future, so all those Qingliu officials secretly said that I am militaristic. Fortunately, it is not their soldiers who are impoverished, and I did not spend money from the treasury. I have to find a reason to send troops again, lest they bother me."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, Yang Sichang couldn't help but sneered. He knew how deep the court was, especially since the opening of the Ming Dynasty's commercial tax, commercial trade had developed unprecedentedly, resulting in a large number of people representing the interests of businessmen and scholars. The intensity of struggles and conflicts between officials and officials representing the traditional gentry and landlord class is not much worse than that of Tianqi seven years ago. Fortunately, His Majesty now monopolizes the military, political and financial power, and has strict control over party disputes. On the surface, the court is still amiable.

However, it can be clearly seen from the memorials and speeches in the hall that there are still many complaints about the current foreign wars, the development of maritime trade, and the implementation of colonial rule on Java.

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

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

……

After Yang Sichang left, Zhu Youxiao also entered the imperial court and came directly to Kunning Palace in a dragon chariot.

It was already midsummer at this time, although the Forbidden City was covered with greenery and clouds, but the heat from the surface could still be felt. Even though Wang Chengen personally waved a fan to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao's sweat beads were still undisturbed. It kept popping out from the forehead.

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

Today's Ming Dynasty can only cool down the room by using ice cubes stored in winter, but the cost of this kind of cooling is too high. In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, there is still no air conditioner or even an electric fan.

Thinking of electric fans, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking Wang Chengen: "How is the research on electricity at the Royal Academy of Sciences recently, but has the photoelectric effect been tested?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, some time ago, a journal of miscellaneous studies just published a piece of news that Fang Yizhi, an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences, was stunned because he used a kite tied with a wire to ask for electricity from the father and mother in a thunderstorm. He woke up three days later. He heard people say that he had offended the father and mother of Lei and the mother, so he thought that this thing is only available to the gods, so no one wants to get it. Your Majesty wants the Academy of Sciences to study it. I'm afraid it's not a simple matter to generate electricity."

When Wang Chengen mentioned Fang Yizhi's matter, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "He didn't offend Mr. Lei and Mrs. Lei. Mr. Lei and Mrs. Dian clearly showed mercy, or else he just passed out. I’m afraid I’ll die right away, who approved this kind of life-threatening experiment, didn’t I just give me the theoretical knowledge of the photoelectric effect, why do I have to collect lightning and do such a dangerous experiment.”

"Reporting to Your Majesty, no one approved it. It is said that Fang Yizhi himself did the experiment behind Xu Ge's back. His purpose was to see what the electricity His Majesty was talking about. Now it seems that this electricity seems to be It's not just as simple as a fairy thing, only a real dragon emperor like you, Your Majesty, knows how powerful electricity is..."

Before Wang Chengen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao directly: "Okay, don't try to flatter me, the Academy of Sciences should pay close attention to research on electricity, so Fang Yizhi is working with someone else Galileo from Florence, let that Galileo also study and study, I let them study mechanics and optoelectronics, not just let them see rainbows and hang apples from trees."

Zhu Youxiao wiped his sweat with a handkerchief again as he spoke, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart: It's a pity that Faraday was born too late, otherwise he would have just dug him here, maybe it would have made Daming appear as soon as possible.
