The marquee is a folk play, the candle flame is placed in the center, the pawn is connected to a movable paper wheel, the edge of the paper wheel is inserted with a piece of paper bamboo, cut into an adult riding horse, light the candle flame, the hot wind pushes the paper bamboo cut into a human riding horse, and drives the paper wheel to rotate. Cover the lampshade, look at it like a horse around the lamp flame and run, so it is called the marquee, also known as the horse riding lamp.

Lin Jian spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to sort out all kinds of miscellaneous craftsmen and scholars, and the records about the marquee can be traced back to the previous dynasty 400 years ago.

At that time, the scholar Cao Rushen entered Beijing to catch the exam, and the Zhongyuan Festival saw the early marquee in Daliang and recorded it in the travelogue.

The world has long known the basic principle that heat can drive external objects to rotate, but for hundreds of years, this principle has only been used for play, and they do not know that the real changes that can cause earth-shaking changes in society are hidden in this small marquee.

To the north of Chen Yuan Beiyuan, across the Longzangpu River, there is a courtyard on the north bank, which was originally an iron work of the Ministry of Industry, after the war was requisitioned to the Privy Council, there is a plaque of the Ordnance Superintendent, and the guards are strict. Although the secret courtyard is three or four hundred steps away from Chen Yuan, and it is also separated by the Longzangpu River, there are sandwich roads and wind and rain bridges, and it is difficult for the outside world to notice.

After Chen Yuan's banquet, he walked over the mezzanine, and Jiang Yue found out that the Ordnance Supervisor had such a secret courtyard here, purely for the convenience of Lin Jian to come over at any time.

More than a dozen courtyards, coming in from the door of the mansion, are quite exquisite, like a private residence, some people live in it, but walking inside, there are more mysteries.

The marquee to be seen, in the third courtyard after entering the house door, the house is tall, push the door in, the inside is as big as a palace, or hang on the beams of the house, or put on the table, or on the stone foundation, there are more than a dozen marquee lamps of all sizes. The craftsman who laid the hand will light the marquee lantern together.

Jiang Yue followed Lin Lian, Sun Jingxuan, and Ge Fu into the house, and the first thing he saw was a few marquee lanterns, which were no different from those seen in the lamp market, but they were more exquisite and precious. The glass lantern is perfect, the person riding the horse, is also painted by the famous craftsman, wherever it is placed, it can be regarded as a treasure, so that people think that it should be hung on the Chongguo Mansion.

After a few lamps, the lamps are getting bigger, the shape of the lamps is also easy, and the paper wheels and paper bamboo pieces are also replaced with gold and iron and other things, and the purpose is to use the flame in the middle to rotate with the wheels, rather than watching.

In the next few lamps, the wheels are also equipped with various rotation devices

The last one can't be called a marquee, but a monster with the same stove and pot, with an impeller on it, and half a human height. After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and white water vapor sprayed out of the pores on the top of the pot, hitting the impeller, pushing the impeller to rotate rapidly, blowing the water vapor all over the room......

Lin Lian sleeved his hands behind him, watched the hot steam rushing in, and did not avoid it, and smiled with Jiang Yue: "This is just a joke at the moment......

Jiang Yue was stunned on the spot, he built the armillary sphere back then, he exhausted his mind for the drive of the armillary sphere, and finally used the hydraulic drive to merge the stars - some truths are just separated by a layer of paper, in front of Jiang Yue, who is the master of mechanical creations in the world, this kind of paper is thinner and can almost reveal light.

"Those who build weapons in the world to drive away things, or people pull mules, or rush water," Jiang Yue recovered from shock and said with emotion, "The marquee has existed for four or five hundred years, and millions of people have seen it, but they don't know the mysteries in it, and the wisdom of adults is really rare in the world......

Lin Jian was full of shame, his knowledge of the three-legged cat stayed at the level of junior high school students in later generations, and he could only roughly demonstrate the principle of the steam engine, and shock a character like Jiang Yue, which was purely a trick.

Even if you know the principle of the steam engine, it is not possible to succeed in creating a truly practical steam engine in a short period of time. As far as Lin Jian knows, after the steam engine first appeared in the West, it took hundreds of years and generations of improvements before it was truly put into practical use.

In the past, in Chongzhou, the conditions were still very limited, and it was not possible to invest much resources in this. For now, it is possible to dedicate some resources to do this. Of course, there are many problems to be solved, and Lin Jian doesn't know if he can get on a steam-turbine-driven ironclad ship and go around the East China Sea in his lifetime.

Ashamed and ashamed in his heart, Lin Lian's face did not change, and said with a smile: "In my early years, I operated Prison Island, and I was a prisoner spinning industry, using a large yarn machine, and I could spin nine catties of yarn per capita a day, which was four times that of ordinary spinning households. Three people on a loom can weave twelve pieces of silk in three days, and their speed is much faster than usual. That's all about the beauty of machinery. After working all his life before, he could not have enough food and clothing, and he had the power of machinery, so he could work idle and teach his children. The country wants to defend itself against foreign enemies, and Lai Zhongxin will not be trapped in a lack of financial resources. But when it comes to machinery, it is inseparable from the drive, just as Jiang Gong said, or with water power, or with animal power, or with manpower. As far as tradition is concerned, it may be exhausted. The wonder of using fire, the world is worried, and it is still slightly insufficient. Speaking of the source of fire, the common sense of the world is that there are plants and trees; the more abundant, the coal; There is also mineral oil (oil) in the west of Qinxi that can ignite the fire, and it is endlessly taken - those who make good use of fire can win the world! ”

"Jiang Yue has been taught!" Jiang Yue said for a long time, deeply impressed.

Lin Lian's thick skin is also rare in the world, he picked up Jiang Yue and said: "I am also greedy for heaven, these things can be used and used to become great, and it depends on Jiang Gong and Ge Lao to come to you to win the heavens......"

Jiang Yue himself is a person who is obsessed with miscellaneous studies, Lin Jian still has other things, so he will return to Chen Yuan first, and leave Sun Jingxuan and Ge Fu to accompany Jiang Yue to stay and visit. This secret trial research place was only moved from Chongzhou in early June.

******************

After coming out of the Ordnance Supervision Courtyard and returning to Chen Yuan, he knew that Gao Zongting was still running errands in the front garden, so Lin Jian paced over.

Lin Jian paid more attention to the overall situation, and devoted a lot of energy to government affairs to contain, and the specific and micro arrangements for the war could only rely more on Gao Zongting, Song Fu, Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang and others.

In order to accommodate the forest binding, the former garden of Chen Yuan has actually become an unofficial public hall outside the Privy Council, and most of the core military affairs are actually handled in the former garden.

Gao Zongting stood at the desk, holding a ruler in his hand, drawing on the map, and saw Lin Lian pacing in, put down the ruler, and said: "A batch of letters and newspapers have just come from Jiangxi, and the luxury family has also stepped up the collection of grain in Jiangxi, and transported it to Shangrao and Jiangzhou. Our opponent this time is likely to be a luxury flying bear! ”

"East China Sea Harrier......" Lin Jian frowned slightly, and the memory of the extravagant flying bear was deep, as far as the bloody battle of Jiyang in the early years. Although he defended Jiyang alone in that battle and repelled the 3,000 Donghai Kou, the extravagant Fei Xiong took advantage of this battle to cleanse and weaken the non-descendant forces of the Donghai Kouli, and finally completely controlled the Donghai Kou.

That battle was not yet a winner, and the great enemy that Huaidong faced on the southern front was always a luxury flying tiger.

The two brothers of the luxury family, the name of the luxury flying bear's good fighting, should be manifested in his younger brother, when the luxury family went west, the luxury flying bear was almost invincible and invincible, even Dong Yuan also suffered a lot in his hands. In the first battle of Fuyang, Dong Yuan almost lost all his family resources.

The luxury family originally had 30,000 garrisons in Shangrao, and the luxury Feixiong led his troops to return to the north, and he wanted to go to Shangrao, and the luxury family's soldiers and horses in Shangrao would increase to more than 50,000, and most of them were the elite of Fujian.

Thinking of this, Lin Jian said with a smile: "This battle is going to be won for us, and the luxury family's little money will be tossed away, and the two sons of Luxury's village will be reimbursed." ”

At present, there are still 1670,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangxi and northern Fujian, but there are only 670,000 people left who are really loyal to the luxury family and can fight the elite of Fujian, and almost half of them will be concentrated in Shangrao to guard the eastern gateway of Jiangxi.

Luxury Fei Xiong and Luxury Fei Tiger are the sons of Luxury Wenzhuang who have the right to inherit, and they are also the two most famous sons of Luxury Zhuang, and the other concubines are average, and they have not been cultivated as a key object for Luxury Mansion.

Gao Zongting just smiled, for him, he had been an enemy of the luxury family for almost half of his life, and he was also very familiar with the luxury Wenzhuang and its two sons, and he was even more familiar with the Privy Council.

This war swept the entire land south of the Yangtze River into it, killing millions of people and consuming tens of millions of financial resources.

Lin Jian remembered something and asked Gao Zongting: "The third person should be sent out, right?" ”

"Oh, I'll leave in the wee hours of the night." Gao Zongting said.

"Then let's go check it out!" Lin Jian said.

"It's all so night, and the lord is still resting?" Gao Zongting said.

"The generals sneaked into the enemy territory in danger, and their lives were not guaranteed, how hard can I stay up all night to see them off?" Lin Jian said that he would guard Chen Daozi to prepare the carriage and horses, and send him and Gao Zongting out of the city.

******************

In the dead of night, more than 300 horsemen escorted three carriages from Donghua Gate. The guards of the city all knew that they could go out of the city with such a guard of honor, except for the Duke of Chongguo, there was no one else.

In the darkness of the night, the caravan walked close to the heel of the city. Outside the Donghua Gate and on the northwest shore of Moling Lake, there is a manor owned by the Military Intelligence Department, and the chariot and horse team galloped into the manor silently.

Chongguo Gong came on patrol at night, and the quiet manor soon set off a commotion, the door opened, and more than a dozen teams of people came out from the left and right rooms, all masked and standing between the atriums. They are the third secret chamber to be sent to various parts of Jiangxi.

In order to prevent a team from missing and all the people and horses are in danger, between entering Yishan and Jiuzi Mountain, each team does not directly face each other. If it weren't for Lin Lian's temporary coming, they would have been on the road in batches after the early hours of the morning.

"Since the rebels occupied Jiangxi, they have forcibly expropriated and expropriated, and the people are unbearable," Lin Tie stood cross-waisted, looking at the secret sentry lined up in the atrium, "You are all children of Jiangxi, who wants to see your parents, uncles, brothers and sisters in your hometown being bullied by the rebels?" However, good days will not come by spitting in the palms of your hands, you have to fight, you have to use your hands, pick up knives and guns to fight, and good days can come. Now the people of Jiangxi have been squeezed to the extreme, just like a ball of dry firewood that has been basking in the sun for a long time, just waiting for you to go over and light it with your own hands. The contributions and sacrifices you will make are no less meaningful than those on the frontal battlefield. I specially came to see you off, waiting for everyone to have good news back to Jiangning, and he will celebrate everyone here on the day! ”

With the unfolding of the war, the soldiers and horses of the luxury family in Jiangxi will inevitably be concentrated on both sides of Shangrao and Jiangzhou, and the garrison in the hinterland will be greatly reduced. At the same time, in order to support the war on the second and even third and fourth lines, the luxury family will inevitably step up the exploitation of the hinterland of Jiangxi, and the oppression of the people will also reach the extreme.

The time for the luxury family to occupy Jiangxi is still short, not to mention that the ordinary people do not have a good impression of the luxury family, even the local gentry and rich are also full of hostility to the luxury family.

You must know that most of the generals of the Eastern Fujian Army, which was commanded by Li Zhuo and fought brutally against the luxury family for nearly ten years, were born in Jiangxi. There are children of peasant families who are in the army, and there are children of local gentry who are chasing military merits, all of whom have a deep blood feud with the luxury family - including Gao Zongting, Geng Quanshan, Chu Zheng, Chen Dingbang and others, all of whom were born in Jiangxi, and have extensive influence and connections in their hometowns in Jiangxi.

It may be difficult to break through the frontal battlefield, but once the Shangrao war starts, the luxury family's control over the hinterland of Jiangxi will inevitably be empty.

In addition to collecting information, the main job is to contact local resistance or hostility and hatred of the luxury family, mobilize those people who are unbearable to be exploited by the luxury family, launch a popular uprising, blossom from all over the hinterland, and deal a fatal blow to the luxury family.

Yishan and Jiuzi Mountain are natural obstacles between Jiangning and Jiangxi, blocking the passage of the army, and they must enter Jiangxi westward: first, take the Yangtze River and go up from Jiangzhou and Hukou to Poyang Lake; One is to walk up to Rao and go down from the upper reaches of the Xinjiang River; The first is to take eastern Fujian and take the Shanguan channel. However, although Yishan Mountain and Jiuzi Mountain are dangerous, they cannot stop a small group of people from passing through.

Deng Yu was defeated at the beginning, and nearly 1,000 people went north from Yishan and defected to Yue Lengqiu.

Now the Privy Council has assigned more than 200 people to sneak into Jiangxi from between Yishan, which is not a difficult task at all, and more armor, swords, and bows will be imported in the later stage.

Thinking that the Huaisi Liumin Army relied on the thirteen pairs of armor to cause chaos in the Central Plains, the secret room sent by the Military Intelligence Department to Jiangxi was much better than the original Huaisi Army.

The first batch of secret rooms, even before the luxury family occupied Jiangxi, had already infiltrated, and there was already a strong foundation in the local area, just waiting for the luxury family's control over the local area to weaken to a certain extent, waiting for this side to send more manpower, secretly import more armor, knives and bows, and then cooperate with the frontal battlefields of Shangrao and Jiangzhou to launch an uprising.
