The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 43 Song Yingxing

With the assistance of Xu Erlu, Zhu Linmei quickly selected 160 craftsmen, among whom more than [-] gunsmiths were force-fed.There is no way, the Ganzhou Arms Bureau now has the most surplus gunsmiths.

Zhu Linmi didn't mind it either, these gunsmiths were mostly good at pattern making and casting, which could also be used in the process of making firecrackers.At least letting them step on a pedal boring machine is always competent.

Since there were not enough chariots and horses, these craftsmen had to walk two hundred miles to Longnan by themselves, and Zhu Linmi left half of his soldiers to escort them along the way.He also distributed two taels of silver to each craftsman, asking them to settle down at home and set off as soon as possible.

Xu Erlu sent Zhu Linmi and others to the gate of the Weapons Bureau, and kept looking back, looking hesitant to speak.

Seeing that Zhu Lin was about to board the carriage, an old man with hale eyes and kind face standing not far away kept winking at Xu Erlu.

The latter finally stepped forward, bowed to Zhu Linmi and said, "Your Highness, the student still has one merciless request." After this period of time, he has already called himself a student in front of Zhu Linmi.

Zhu Linmi stopped in her tracks and said with a smile, "Why are you being polite, just tell me."

"Student has a good friend who has forgotten his past years. There is something he wants to ask His Highness to agree to." Seeing that Zhu Linmi's expression was the same, he turned his head and gestured towards the distance, and the old man standing by the road quickly stepped forward.It is the person who recently talked with Xu Erlu by candle every night.

The old man came to the side of the carriage, lifted his clothes and knelt down to salute, "Caomin Song Yingxing, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Chenzhou."

"Please get up, old man." Zhu Linmi stretched out her hand to help him up, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and thought to herself, why does Song Yingxing's name sound so familiar?

Suddenly his eyes lit up, he grabbed the old man's arm, and exclaimed, ""Heavenly Creation"? Are you that Song Yingxing?!"

The old man was taken aback, and said in a daze: "It's a clumsy work, it's hard to get into His Highness's eyes."

"No no, this is a rare good book in Daming!"

Just kidding, the encyclopedia of Chinese crafts in the seventeenth century, this is not a "clumsy" work, it is a great work!
I didn't expect to meet this great scientist of the Ming Dynasty here.Zhu Lin hurriedly asked: "By the way, Xu Erlu said you have something to do with me?"

Song Yingxing saluted and said: "I have recently learned the great arts of 'Analytic Geometry', 'Periodic Table of Elements', 'Three Laws of Thermodynamics' taught by Your Highness Xu Siwu, and I am very shocked." He bowed a little lower, "I implore Your Highness to allow this old man to compile this knowledge into a book so as to educate me and the people of Ming Dynasty."

Of course, Zhu Linmei hopes that the knowledge of natural science can be widely spread in Ming Dynasty. The more popular this knowledge is, the smoother the industrialization process of Ming Dynasty will be.

This Song Yingxing did a great deed for him.

Zhu Linmi suddenly remembered that Song Yingxing called himself a "grassman", and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Song is at home now?"

"How dare you call me Mr. in front of His Highness?" Song Yingxing waved his hands again and again, and said with a wry smile, "I am unemployed, but I have no home. Fengyang fell, and I resigned and returned to Fengxin. Unexpectedly, Nanchang City was also destroyed, and now I am bringing my family with me." Take refuge in Ganzhou."

refuge?Zhu Linmi thought of that sentence unkindly in her heart: Don't miss it when you pass by!A talent like Song Yingxing must be found by himself.

He coughed dryly, "Actually, I also want to compile what I have learned into a book. Apart from what Mr. Song just said, there are still many things in my mind. Why don't I tell Mr. Song slowly?"

Song Yingxing immediately prostrated himself on the ground, and said with great joy, "The student is willing to follow His Highness, it's all about devotion!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Erlu couldn't help being very envious. If it wasn't for the Armament Bureau, he really couldn't get away, and he would also like to follow His Royal Highness King Chenzhou and ask for advice all the time.

Zhu Linmei simply asked Song Yingxing to go back to pack up his belongings and take his family to Longnan.

Song Yingxing's family lived in Xu Erlu's home, only half a mile away from the Military Weapons Bureau.When he fled, he had nothing to worry about, and he took his family back in less than an hour.

On the way, Zhu Linmi and Song Yingxing talked for a long time.

This old man has a more solid foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry than Xu Erlu, and he can master all kinds of mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge very quickly. Even concepts that he has never been exposed to before can be easily understood, and with rich practical experience, various theoretical knowledge can be related immediately. in actual production.

This made Zhu Linming sigh: "Mr. Song must be the dean of Minger College in the future!"

"Mingge Institute?" Song Yingxing thought for a long time but didn't think that Daming had such a department.

"The Royal Gezhi Academy of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be established in the future." Zhu Linmi said with great pride, "Gather capable people from all over the world, study the laws of the operation of all things in the world, develop various crafts and skills, compile them into books to teach the people, and strengthen our Ming Dynasty !" Investigating things to gain knowledge is the name of natural science in the Ming Dynasty.

Song Yingxing was a little dazed.He loved natural science all his life, and most hoped to teach the people of Ming Dynasty what he had learned so that they could benefit from it.It's just that in the past, the imperial court only paid attention to the knowledge of sages and sages, and didn't care about natural science at all, which made him always underappreciated.

If the Minge Academy mentioned by King Chenzhou can really be established, then he will finally have the opportunity to display his lifelong ambitions.

When he thought of Zhu Linmi's identity as the emperor's relative, he felt that "Minge Courtyard" was likely to become a reality, perhaps this was what the emperor meant.

The brilliance in Song Yingxing's eyes danced with joy, and he sighed in his heart, God has treated Song well!
The next day, a group of chariots and horses rushed back to the Longwei Army camp.Zhu Linmi quietly came to the school grounds without disturbing anyone.

After this period of training, the queue of soldiers has been relatively neat.Right now, Macedo is leading people to practice running and walking together. Although there was a little confusion in the process of changing the pace, it is gratifying that the queue has not dispersed.

There was dust in the distance, and horseshoes rumbled. It should be that the cavalry was training to line up and charge.Although it is not very clear under the dust, it can be seen that the horse team basically maintains a wavy line.

It seems that these foreign instructors are not lazy, Zhu Linmei nodded slightly.

There was the sound of chaotic footsteps from the other corner of the school grounds. From a distance, he saw several queues still in civilian clothes. The total number of people could reach thousands, which should be a new barracks.

"The recruitment of new recruits is progressing well." As soon as Zhu Linmi finished speaking, she heard someone shouting "Stand still" in the middle of the school field, and then Yu Xin ran over from a corner of the queue.

"Your Highness...ah, Commander." He saluted on one knee, and then excitedly said, "When did you come back?"

Zhu Linmei quickly helped him up, "I just arrived, I don't want to disturb your training, so let's take a look first." He frowned a little in his heart, this kneeling ceremony is usually nothing, but every second counts in a war, how can a military salute come so quickly? ?In the future, we still have to implement military salute.

He said to Yu Xin, "Chuangzhi, since you're here, let's talk about what happened recently."

"There are really a lot of things." Yu Xin said immediately, "First of all, recruits. The subordinates are strictly screened, and almost no one is left. Even so, more than 400 strong and strong officers have been recruited. However, there are not enough officers who can lead troops. There is still an endless stream of people who come to join the army, especially not long ago a missionary took people to Fujing, and recently there are many Fujianese coming."

　Because I want to have more exchanges with you, I created a book friend group, the group number is 683142639.We look forward to your joining, and we will discuss the plan of recovery!
　　Thanks: I love my classmates on that day, and my classmates Yong voted for me. Thank you very much for your support!
