Faced with such a "smart plan" by the rebels, Zhu Cijing just wanted to say: It's great, it's finally here! He has been waiting for this day for a long time and has been indulging the rebels for several years. Isn't it just to use his hand to get rid of the borers of the royal family? Now the rebels have finally attacked several of the largest borers, so he is naturally very happy.

Of course, all of this can only be thought about in my heart. On the surface, when he received the news, he was so panicked. He "hurriedly" issued countless imperial edicts, and he jumped and shouted that the emperor would personally fight to deal with the gang of thieves.

Zheng Zhilong, the king of Zhennan, immediately mobilized most of the troops in Nanzhili to defend Zhongdu Fengyang. If Fengyang was lost, he would kill his nine clans;

What orders Sun Chuanting, the governor of the five provinces, to defend Xi'an to death. If he loses Xi'an, he will also kill his nine clans;

If the Korean army was ordered to go to Liaodong to replace the Dingliao army's defense, the Dingliao army was ready to take off at any time. As soon as the Korean army arrived, they would immediately come to the capital to gather;

When the Japanese First Legion immediately went to Beidaying to replace Tianxiong's defense, the Tianxiong Army was ready to take off at any time. As soon as the Japanese First Legion arrived, they immediately came to the capital to gather;

The Beiyang Navy immediately went ashore to take over the defense of Dongdaying, and the Second Corps of the Imperial Guards was ready to take off at any time. As soon as the Beiyang Navy arrived, it immediately came to the capital to assemble.

............

This imperial edict was sent in a hurry, as if Zhu Cijing wanted to mobilize all the troops that could be mobilized to follow him to personally fight to relieve the dangers of Fengyang and Xi'an in Zhongdu, and to save his elders, King Fu and King Xiang. In fact, he was delaying time!

If he was really forced to force him to the extreme, he would directly lead the rebels who could fight with the Tianxiong Army and the Imperial Guards to find the ground. The reason why he mobilized the army back and forth was to waste King Fu and King Xiang to death! The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops could not be completed in one or two days. It would take ten days and half a month for the imperial edict to pass. When the army was ready to take off, it would be a month.

What's even more amazing is that Zhu Cijiu actually transferred the Korean Legion and the Japanese First Legion to replace the defense of the Dingliao Army and the Tianxiong Army respectively. Not to mention how troublesome the handover of the defense is, it will take at least one month for the Korean Legion and the Japanese First Legion to arrive in Liaodong and Beidaying. When they take over the defense of the two places, Luoyang and Xiangyang might have been captured by the rebels long ago.

By the way, Zhu Cijiu is so fond of fire, so he is not afraid that the rebels will also break through Xi'an or Fengyang, occupy a large area of ​​land in the northwest, and dig the ancestral tomb of his Zhu family?

Of course he was not afraid. In fact, he had already received the news when the rebels gathered in Xingyang to prepare for a meeting. Of course, he knew that the rebels would attack Fengyang, Zhongdu. This was a big book in history books. How could he not prepare early?

He had already issued a secret order to ask Zheng Zhilong, the King of Zhennan, to mobilize 100,000 defenders in Nanzhili to garrison Wuping Guards and Yingchuan Guards in Fengyang Prefecture. In addition, the 50,000 troops under Fengyang Prefecture's command, Huang Degong, the Fengyang Prefecture gathered a total of 150,000 troops. Even if all the righteous troops rushed over, they could not attack him. He didn't have to worry at all.

As for Xi'an, Gao Yingxiang was just seeking death. In history, he was caught by Sun Chuanting in a sneak attack on Xi'an and was finally escorted to Lingchi in the capital. I wonder if he would use his extremely stupid "Ziwu Valley Qiming" this time. If he dares to use it, he will not be dead!

On the surface, Zhu Cijiu was jumping up and down, constantly urging all the people to hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart. The spies of the Jinyiwei were not vegetarians. They had long been involved in various rebels. The current situation in the northwest can be said to be well aware of everything, everything is developing according to his expectations. He is so anxious.

If all the civil and military officials knew that the emperor was thinking, they would probably faint in shock. This time, the four-way attack of the rebel army really scared the Ming Dynasty and the people. The rebels had actually grown to a huge size of 500,000 or 600,000. That's not bad! A group of ministers all suggested: The emperor quickly transfer all the troops from Liaodong and north of the capital to encircle and suppress them, and let them continue to develop. The Ming Dynasty is over!

Zhu Cijiu was simply sneering at the advice of these ministers. What is the rebel army? The Later Jin is the real big trouble. Huang Taiji was so cunning. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were not even as good as elementary school students in front of him. At that time, the Chongzhen Dynasty had a stir, with no less than one million casualties. Finally, he captured the capital and destroyed the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the Later Jin Dynasty suffered less than 100,000 casualties and injured Li Zicheng in one stroke. The great rivers and mountains of North China were simply handed over to others!

He wanted him to give up the defense of Liaodong and Great Wall to fight the rebels with all his might? If he really did this, he was just a pig. Not only did he not give up the defense of Liaodong and Great Wall, he secretly ordered Sun Chengzong to strengthen his defense, and at the same time paid close attention to the movements of the grasslands in the south of the desert. Once Huang Taiji wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters, he immediately concentrated his efforts to deal with him. Even if the northwest was lost, he would kill the old fox.

There was no movement from Huang Taiji, but Schvira was back. This time he was full of loads. He brought back tens of thousands of seeds from rubber trees, thousands of Indians and black slaves who planted rubber trees, and specialties from all over the Americas. He brought back several ships, but he only brought back a few thousand kilograms of raw rubber.

Shi Weila was very nervous along the way. The emperor needed 100,000 or even millions of kilograms of raw rubber, but he searched hard in Ruoslan to find these thousands of kilograms. Although this thing is relatively valuable, it is only cost to sell the small items. How much raw rubber can a small item be used? It is enough to prepare a few thousand kilograms, so Ruoslan did not try to collect it. Although he had asked Ruoslan to arrange thousands of black slaves to find rubber trees in the primeval forest, and signed a contract with him to supply at least 10,000 kilograms of raw rubber every month, but he could bring back so much this time. I wonder if the emperor would scold him for being incompetent!

Zhu Cijing did not blame Schweila. He also knew that rubber products are not used in all walks of life now. Who would have someone to collect hundreds of thousands or millions of kilograms of rubber without any trouble? If it is used purely to make small items like teacoons, hundreds of thousands of kilograms may not be used for several lifetimes.

He encouraged Schvira and asked him to arrange the Indian technicians and black slaves to go to Ceylon to plant rubber trees as soon as possible. Then he summoned a group of close friends from the Ministry of Works to discuss the issue of trial production of a formal telegraph system. This time, going to the northwest to wipe out the rebels was a good opportunity. It was just a good opportunity to build the military communication system. With this system, the Ming army's coordinated combat capabilities were much stronger. No matter how far apart, you could command and fight in a unified manner. There was no need to worry that if there were too many people, the command would be ineffective.

During this period, the big guys from the Ministry of Works worked overtime and worked hard to develop them. The wire drawing machine had been developed by them for a long time. Even a lot of thick copper wire and fine copper wire were drawn out. The clamping machine covering the insulating layer was also done, and even the crusher for making rubber particles was made. As soon as the raw rubber arrived, the various equipment for the telegraph system could be started to be tested.

Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng and others have basically not had much rest in the past few months. Although they were clean and neatly dressed, their deep eyes and tired expressions could not be concealed. Zhu Cijiu saw them standing there with a respectful spirit, and he couldn't help but feel moved. He thought for a while, and then called Cao Huachun over and whispered. Soon, a team of eunuchs carried several high-legged backrest chairs and walked in, put a hand behind each work department official, and then bowed and retreated.

Zhu Cijing smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work, let's sit down."

Everyone refused to sit down. Just kidding, there were a few people in front of the emperor who dared to sit down. Except for Bi Maokang, the others present were far behind them.

Zhu Cijing said without any doubt: "Those who can enter this study are all close people. I have decided that no matter what happens outside, everyone will sit here in the future to discuss matters. If you don't want to resist the order, sit down."

Seeing that the emperor was so determined, everyone had to sit down with great gratitude, straighten their bodies, and listen to the Hadith.

Is this just like a meeting? Zhu Cijing nodded with satisfaction and asked Bi Maokang: "Meng Hou, how much copper wire is made?"

Bi Maokang replied respectfully: "When you go back to the emperor, the two-quarter thick copper wire has been made 50,000 feet, the five-quarter thick copper wire has been made 30,000 feet, and the three-quarter thick copper wire has been made 20,000 feet. According to the emperor's wishes, every fifty feet is rolled into a roll of wooden wheels, and placed in the warehouse to prepare rubber."

Two cents are six square lines in later generations, which are used to lay telegraph networks, five cents are equivalent to one-square lines, which are used to connect loops, three cents are equivalent to one square lines are used to wrap generators and electromagnetic coils, fifty zhangs are about one hundred and sixty meters, which are all determined by Zhu Cijiu according to the standards of later generations.

It was only over a month that he could pull out so many copper wires, and the production speed was already fast. Zhu Cijing nodded with satisfaction and instructed: "Well, the two-point ones stopped first, mainly for five-point ones and three-point ones. Now the northwest is in an emergency. The matter of laying the telegram network of the two Beijings and thirteen provinces can only be pushed back."

This incident spread throughout the government and the country, and Bi Maokang naturally knew it. He nodded with a serious face and replied, "I understand."

Zhu Cijing asked Wang Zheng again: "Liangfu, have the coater and crusher been tried?"

Wang Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, you have tried it."

Zhu Cijiu nodded and asked Song Yingxing again: "Chang Geng, you organize people to try the coating effect as soon as possible. Just use five-cent copper wire and three-cent copper wire to wrap it thicker, just wrap it with five-cent copper wire. Three-cent copper wire to wrap it thinner, just about one-cent thicker. Don't pay attention to the appearance when covering it. It doesn't matter if it's ugly. You must ensure that there is no hole, and you can't have a hole in the slightest, do you know?"

Song Yingxing didn't say anything, and immediately nodded, "I understand."

Zhu Cijing also instructed Xu Fuyuan and Xia Yunyi: "Fuzhai, Yizhong, you will each select ten outstanding students and prepare to trial the formal telegraph system. This time, you will first make five steam generators, hand-crank generators and telegraph sending and receiving devices. I will try the military communication system first. Then you will take all the students with me to go to war."

Xu Fuyuan and Xia Yunyi nodded quickly, but everyone's expressions began to become solemn. The emperor wanted to lead the army in person. The northwest side seemed to be in chaos.
Chapter completed!
