Chapter 361: Staying in Beijing
Emperor Wanli's words did not cause too much concern to the three ladies, because they were not talking about the present.
The emperor's time limit for garrisoning is after 'he' grows up, and this is the Buta Shili, who is only twelve years old this year, which even makes the third lady happy about it.
It seems that in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, her only son will be the heir to the right-wing Mongols.
In the following time, the mother and son duo from right-wing Mongolia were immersed in the greatness and wonder of the Wanli Emperor.
For example, Butashili sat on the emperor's royal mount, Huo De Xingjun, changed into a circle, and shouted excitedly, much happier than riding a horse.
Of course, there are also model boats that can move without paddling, and they go round and round in the lake.
For this little Mongolian prince who was the same age as King Lu, Emperor Wanli seemed to be gracious, and even let him stand on the head of the city with King Lu on the day of the big parade.
I also saw the appearance of the Great Tomorrow's thunderous and devastated appearance - the thirty Huode Xingjun that the Steam Bureau promised to send to the Beijing Division before the parade ran aground because of the change of shape.
Emperor Wanli originally planned to let these thirty Huo De Xingjun carry his Han generals on the stage in the Great Parade, but the Steam Bureau had enough reasons for this, so that he could not punish anyone.
The steam engine was upgraded, and because of the emperor.
The reason is that the rubber and bearings, the rubber does not come from Asia, and the rubber trees sent back from Asia are far from producing rubber, but it has a lot to do with Chen Mu, and the reason is vulcanization.
The heat resistance of the vulcanized rubber is much better, and Chen Mu mentioned its various applications in the letter sent back to the Forbidden City, such as wear-resistant soles, the airtightness of the Franco cannon, the tires of various wheels, and the piston parts of the steam engine, but this brought disaster to all aspects except the soles and wheels at first.
The Franc cannon with rubber pads blew up several times, and the steam engine with rubber pistons blew up in a section.
While rubber brings higher performance, the original shaft and cylinder are difficult to withstand the increased pressure of the original leakage design.
The bearing has little to do with Chen Mu, it comes from the Da Vinci manuscript sent back, although no one can understand the words written by Da Vinci, but Chen Mu can understand those patterns.
The bearings with the separator cage, the propeller for the boat, and the optimized version of the bicycle were sent back, accompanied by an explanation, which brought great shock to the emperor: "Europa, is there already such a magical thing?" ”
In fact, these things did not exist in Europe, and some were only ideas that Leonardo da Vinci did not put into action, but for the emperor, he lagged behind.
These ideas were put into practice by the Wanli Emperor, who did not want to be left behind.
At the sound of an order, the front and rear wheels of Huo De Xingjun were removed, wrapped with rubber tires, the front wheels were also equipped with bearings, and the shafts were polished and polished cast iron balls.
Cast iron, though brittle, is always stronger than a ball of wood.
The steam engine equipped with the new piston also made greater progress in power, and together, the speed of the new Fire De Xingjun was increased by more than three hundred percent, and now King Lu wanted to catch up with his imperial brother, and he couldn't walk, he had to walk and run.
There is also a Beiyang handmade bicycle running in the Forbidden City, and Wanli can ride it energetically.
As for the models of the one-zhang battleships in the lake, they are all steamships, and the sails on the deck are like goods, low with propellers, and the sailing speed is not slow.
Although some of these things were difficult to mass-produce and some could not be put into use, these objects sent back by Chen Mu did greatly enrich the emperor's spare time.
It also made the little Mongolian prince, who was accustomed to seeing the lonely smoke of the desert, worship this little uncle Wanli who lived in the Forbidden City, and worship like a god.
The third lady only stayed in the palace for one afternoon, but the little prince Buta Shili cried and wanted to take a big boat, and was simply ordered by Wanli to stay overnight, until after the parade, more than ten days later, I missed my mother, and then I was released from the palace and lived with the three ladies for two days.
"Actually, at first, I wanted to stay in Beijing because I wanted to have more contact with the next generation of Mongolian kings of Shunyi." Wanli really likes this simple Buta Shili, and on the day when the third lady invited him to play and was plugged out, he said to the third lady: "But now, I really plan to let him stay by my side." ”
Sanniangzi understands Wanli's thoughts in her heart, because as soon as she took Buta Shi Lilai, she had this idea to let her son be hostage in Daming.
In fact, on the way to Beijing, she thought about it, I don't want to give too much to the younger son, it is understandable, the younger son is an absolute threat to the eldest son, and the civil strife will only weaken Mongolia, but the civil strife is not absolute, unless...... Civil strife can only be avoided unless one side is absolutely strong.
She hopes that the absolute strong side is her son, not the old Xin Ai Huang Taiji.
"Let him stay by His Majesty's side to bathe in the grace of heaven, the minister will certainly wish in his heart." The third lady touched her son's long black hair, her eyes were a little ruthless, and said: "It's just that when we are separated, it is difficult to let go of my heart, and I look at Your Majesty Haihan." ”
Wanli nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "I see that Mrs. A is an elite horseman, so I will leave ten horses, and the servant who takes care of the little prince's life will be selected for him, and it should be enough to have ten horsemen as guards, and Beijing is not far from Guihua City, just eight hundred miles away." ”
"When Mrs. Zhongshun misses him, I will send additional foot cavalry to escort the little prince back to Guihua City, and come back in three or four months, how about it?"
The three ladies were overjoyed.
It's not just that he can see his son from time to time, but the emperor's proposal means that Buta Shili is not all protons, and it is impossible for protons to go back if they want to.
"But don't rush Xie Zhen yet, I still have a favor for you."
The emperor was not wearing armor today, and the sleeves of the bright yellow coat of arms were flicked behind his back, and he turned his head and said: "I plan to expand the Guozi Prison, and Mrs. Zhongshun will go back to ask the princes of other tribes in Mongolia for me, as well as the governors of the Seychelles and the commanders, if there are extremely outstanding sons of thousands of households, I plan to let them study in Beijing." ”
"Let's set at twenty people first, if there are too many candidates for Mrs. Zhongshun, then choose well and report to Wu Dui, the left attendant of the military department—this is good for me, and it is also a good thing for the nobles on the grassland."
The third lady felt that this was a good thing for herself, and Buta Shili also wanted to study in Beijing, maybe in Guozijian, so the children of these tribal leaders would study with him, and in the future, when Buta Shili returned to the grassland, these people would also be his help.
"In addition to this, another important thing is that there have been many letters and reports from officials on all sides of the DPRK and China recently, and there are many days when the market is open, and there are many poor roads, and land transportation is very difficult, so I plan to build roads and pave tracks in various places where the markets are exchanged, so I am worried that the Mongolian tribes will misunderstand my goodwill, so I will first ventilate to Mrs. Zhongshun."
Wanli said with a smile: "I still need to work when I go back, Mrs., I will inform the leaders of the various departments." How to build the specific road, whether to repair the Great Wall outside or not, firstly, I need to inform the leaders of the various departments, and secondly, the cronies I sent to find it have not yet returned. ”
