I've never seen such a brazen person since I was studying! Xu Guangqi only felt that his heart was messy, was the emperor's request excessive? From the perspective of a Ming person, in fact, it is not too much. Thunder, rain and dew, all are the grace of the king, life and death are in the hands of the king, what are the conditions for your knowledge to contribute to the country? It's really the ultimate without a king and a father!

However, from the perspective of the Friendship Sect, this is quite excessive. You don't allow us to preach, and let us help you, doesn't it make it clear that you don't give donkeys carrots but let donkeys grind? It's just too deceitful!

Of course, Xu Guangqi feels that it doesn't matter, barbarians, no kings and no fathers, such as beasts, fearful but not virtuous, strong will be thieves, weak will be submissive, regardless of kindness and righteousness, his nature is also. Anyway, selling these guys, I don't have any psychological pressure at all.

After thinking about it, Xu Guangqi bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, among the current Beijing Divisions, there is a person named Tang Ruowang who is good at the Xiyi who is good at calendars and firearms. He was a Jesuit missionary of the Holy Roman Empire in the West, a Catholic Jesuit monk and priest, who was good at calendars, firearms, and all kinds of miscellaneous studies. ”

Chongzhen was curious: "What is Xiyi and not Xiyi, it is good to be useful, recruit him in, and let him participate in the affairs of firearms and calendars." ”

Xu Guangqi bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, no." There are many secrets in this royal academy that are unique to me, and if they are known, they may be leaked. At that time, if the barbarians of the other generation learn it, it will be unfavorable to me. ”

Chongzhen sneered and said: "It's just a barbarian, even if he is allowed to come, even if he learns and wants to take it out, he must be able to leave the land of Daming alive!" The Ming Dynasty is so big, where is the land not buried? ”

......, Xu Guangqi doesn't know what to say at all, this emperor is shameless, but he still justifiably doesn't take these foreign barbarians seriously, a human life may still be a human life that has contributed to himself, and he will bury it, it is really shameless!

Of course, Chongzhen wants to be shameless, Xu Guangqi feels nothing, all the more famous emperors in history are basically shameless. Look at Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, who smashed the crown prince of Wu to death with a chessboard, Li Shiming killed his brother and slaughtered his brother and swaggered into the history books for fun, Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiaoyi yellow robe added, which of these Ming monarchs and holy lords is faceless? On the contrary, those emperors who want to face, like Emperor Wuzong and Emperor Xian, are all gone.

"In that case, Your Majesty might as well tempt him with a lot of money. The people of Xiyi were originally very profitable, and if His Majesty promised a lot of money, they would not be able to preach, and there would be nothing to think of. Although Xu Guangqi felt that Emperor Chongzhen's approach to barbarians was not authentic, he sold his friends himself, and he sold them very thoroughly.

Chongzhen snorted and said to Xu Guangqi: "This is okay, if it is a problem that silver can solve, it is not a problem." ”

Turning around, he said to Wang Chengen, who was standing aside: "Write it down, and remind me when I return to the palace." ”

After Wang Chengen bowed down, Chongzhen continued: "What happened to the flintlock?" ”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, his old face was pulled down, and he knew that the emperor would not come here if he had nothing to do, and sure enough, it was for this matter: "Your Majesty, according to what Your Majesty said, the firecracker made is indeed convenient and easy to use, not afraid of rain, as long as the ammunition is not wet, it will not affect the use." ”

"It's just that this bore blew up a little too fast. Some of them will explode after more than 20 rounds. Some of the good ones are only thirty or fifty rounds. If it is used during the Eastern Expedition to build slaves, it is estimated that each sergeant will have to carry more than ten firearms to rotate, otherwise, after a battle, he can only use swords. ”

Bought a watch! Chongzhen scolded secretly in his heart, this fucking fart queue! Shoot a yarn! If you don't blow up Lao Tzu's own people first, then Lao Tzu will still have to hang on the crooked neck tree!

Just when Chongzhen was unhappy in his heart, he heard Xu Guangqi say: "If you give up the rifle, it will be much more convenient, not only the output will go up, but the explosion of the chamber will also be much less, a gun can be fired hundreds or even thousands of times without exploding." ”

Nima, what are the five or six styles in later generations, eighty-one bars and the like, and I haven't heard of the explosion or anything, in an anime I've watched, doesn't the rabbit still throw five or six and a half into the sand and step on it, pick it up and shoot it with a shuttle? Lao Tzu doesn't want any of the of the Eagle Sauce family, just one that is about the same as five or six and a half, this is not very demanding, right? This doesn't fucking work! His mother!

But it's finally a peak loop, and the smoothbore can be used, which is a bit of good news - it's much better than the smoothbore that also blows up. Although the smoothbore is not good, it's a big deal not to play any fixed-point sniping, and you can still do it if you line up to shoot.

But this matter, it is impossible for Chongzhen to be happy if he wants to, and it is unlikely to be smooth in this life. Only a moment of happiness, a moment of trouble, is the eternal cycle of Chongzhen's life.

Sure enough, I heard Xu Guangqi continue: "Actually, it's because the steel is not up to par." If there is good steel, the minister has the confidence to make the fire gun go further. In addition, the steam engine mentioned by His Majesty the previous time ......"

Seeing Xu Guangqi with a wry smile on his face, he didn't say any more, Chongzhen said curiously: "What's wrong with that?" Also a problem with steel? ”

Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, that doesn't have high requirements for steel." According to the experiments done by His Majesty that day, if the seal is not tight, the steam will always be emitted to the world, and the pole inside will not move. If it had been closed tightly, it would have been the same as that day, and either the pole would have been pushed out in a burst of fire, or an explosion would have occurred, and a craftsman had already been killed. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he was also gloomy. This kind of thing is always unavoidable, I'm not a science dog, it's not easy to know a steam engine and sealing, how to get the rest, how to know? After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have any clue, Chongzhen just said gloomily: "That's it, let's give generous care to the craftsman's family, if there is a son in his family, let his son go to school." I can't let them die and they won't end up. Such sacrifice for the sake of the country is a great honor, and it is not excessive. ”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he also sighed and sighed, and then said: "Your Majesty, the craftsman's family has thanked Your Majesty." ”

Chongzhen was about to go back to the palace to relax, but because he was holding the chair handle with one hand, he suddenly remembered an event in the future, but at the moment he said to Xu Guangqi excitedly: "Xu Aiqing, I have an idea, but I need Xu Aiqing to verify it many times." ”

Xu Guangqi saw that Chongzhen, who was still gloomy just now, was overjoyed at this moment, and he didn't know what Chongzhen had thought, so he had to bow down and salute: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Chongzhen stretched out his arm excitedly, and gestured: "Xu Aiqing, look, this arm goes back and forth, if it is stretched out, and then you want to take it back, what do you do?" ”

Xu Guangqi looked at Chongzhen stretching out his arm like a child and gesturing there, and secretly felt funny in his heart, but the Son of Heaven asked, and he had to answer: "Your Majesty, bend your elbow, retract it, and this arm will naturally be withdrawn." As he spoke, he also made an elbow retraction motion.

This shrinkage didn't matter, just like the apple that happened to hit Newton's head, Xu Guangqi also suddenly said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Chongzhen saw that Xu Guangqi was also excited, so he said, "Xu Aiqing has thought of it?" ”

Xu Guangqi didn't care about smiling in front of Chongzhen, so he laughed and said: "Your Majesty, in this steam engine, the pole that was pushed out is the minister's arm, if you want to retract it again, you need an elbow." ”

Chongzhen also laughed and said: "Yes, this elbow, after pushing the arm out, a kung fu that comes back and turns, it retracts again, if a ring is set up in this machine, find a point on the ring, hang that arm, and go back and forth, can it just stretch out and retract again?" The steam drives the disc to rotate back and forth, and the disc is connected to a shaft, isn't that power? Can it be used to push other devices? ”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he also thought about it for a while, and after raising his arm back and forth many times, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty Shengming!" Previously, when the ministers heard that there was a genius bestowed wisdom, they thought it was a miscommunication, but now His Majesty has really proved that he was born with God, and he worships it! ”

Chongzhen, who was successfully pretending to be a force, smiled silently, if he hadn't wanted to stand up with his arm on the handle of the chair, but he hadn't thought of the old-fashioned train of "snort" in later generations.

Chongzhen, who was used to high-speed trains and airplanes, never remembered this thing called the Dogfish Head Train for a while. In reality, in addition to the railway museum in the capital, where can you see this kind of artifact? But I've seen a lot of them in those anti-Japanese war dramas, what kind of Flying Tigers or guerrillas, don't they often pick up this kind of train or railroad track to find trouble with little devils?

This kind of pike locomotive, burning coal, a large steam engine, through the crankshaft connecting rod transmission, slowly crawling on the rails, not as fast as a horse - but this thing does not know how to be tired, does not eat beans, pulls more goods, even if it is slow, half a month, can always swing from Beijing to Liaodong, right? When the time comes, the Ming soldiers who have raised enough spirit on the train, some of them are spiritual leaders who slowly play with Jiannu and queue up to be shot!

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful Chongzhen said to Xu Guangqi: "Xu Aiqing still needs more trial production, and strive to get this steam engine out as soon as possible, and I will definitely have a heavy reward at that time!" ”

Without waiting for Xu Guangqi to agree, Chongzhen, who suddenly remembered Yi Xingzhi, continued: "By the way, there is also a Guozi prison student who has returned from an overseas study tour, and I will send it to you another day." ”
