Chapter 86 Divine Land (finale)
After the completion of these things, Zhu Cijing felt relieved. He could finally calm down and enjoy his life as an emperor.
Of course, enjoying life does not mean ignoring state affairs. He still needs to consider many things, but time is not so urgent, and everything can be taken slowly.
In the 19th year of Chongzheng, he spent most of his energy on the harem.
Well, well, in fact, he mainly was resting, and he was also educating his children while resting, for example, teaching Prince Zhu He's way of governing the country.
After a year of rest in Chongzheng, Zhu Cijing began to pay attention to the development of North American colonies.
First, he ordered Lu Xiangsheng to negotiate with the Indian tribes to divide the territory of the Indian tribe, the Ming Dynasty's direct colonies and fiefs with various titles.
Then, he ordered the Ministry of War to speed up the recruitment, organized the remaining hundreds of thousands of garrisons as soon as possible, and sent them to North America to complete the garrison of the entire colony;
Then, he issued an order to recruit immigrants from the Ming Dynasty and various vassal states to move to the North American continent, and carry out comprehensive development there;
Finally, he joined forces with Spain and Portugal to dig through the Panama Canal, connecting the Pacific and Atlantic waters, making transportation between the East and the West more convenient.
In the 21st year of Chongzheng, he ordered the Ministry of War to start counting the household registration of regular corps and Tunwei, and began to adjust Tunwei.
Among them, the Qin army, the First Border Defense Army, the Second Border Defense Army, the Third Border Defense Army, the Fourth Border Defense Army, the Dongjiang Army and the Dingliao Army soldiers all moved to the Siberian Plain;
The families of soldiers of the Ning Army, Liaodong Army, Shaanxi Preparatory Corps, Shanxi Preparatory Corps and Henan Preparatory Corps should move to the Siberian Plateau as much as possible;
There are also the First Legion of the Expeditionary Force, the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force, the Jiangnan Preparatory Corps, the Guangnan Preparatory Corps and the Yunnan Preparatory Corps' families moved to various provinces in South Asia as much as possible;
The families of the Tianxiong Army and the Zhongyong Army soldiers tried to move to North American colonies as much as possible;
The families of soldiers of the First Corps of the Imperial Guards and the Second Corps of the Imperial Guards should move to provinces near the capital as much as possible.
He did this mainly to facilitate these legions to take turns to visit relatives. After all, these legions will basically stay in these places in the future. It would be strange if they can't see their families for a few years or even for more than ten years.
In the 22nd year of Chongzheng, he began to recall various technologies and products from later generations and personally compiled a book called "The Road to Science and Technology Development", which was the key to the future development of science and technology in the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, there are airplanes, mobile phones, TVs, computers, washing machines, rice cookers, etc., as long as he can think of it, it will be written in.
Of course, he is not omnipotent. He cannot understand the principles of these things. He can only write down what he knows. If he doesn't understand, he will describe functions, functions and other things. In short, it is to point out the direction and avoid detours.
In the 23rd year of Chongzheng, he organized the establishment of the Ming Academy of Sciences, with Duke Zhu Xu Guangqi as honorary president, Duke Ji Guo, deputy prime minister of the cabinet, and Minister of Works Bi Maokang as president.
The Ming Dynasty began to concentrate elites in various fields to discuss various new things described in "The Road to Science and Technology Development", establish projects, designate leaders, and start research.
Zhu Cijing believed that they could do it in the end because these were successful things in later generations, but this time, I don’t know if it would take decades or hundreds of years.
In the 24th year of Chongzheng, with his full efforts, the development of the first-generation automobile engine was completed.
This engine replaces steam with gasoline to drive multi-pistons, providing power output and stronger power;
This engine greatly reduces the weight of the power unit and also greatly reduces the volume of the power unit;
This engine greatly reduces the manufacturing cost and operation difficulty of a car, making it possible for a car to enter thousands of households.
In the same year, the first lightweight car was released. Although this car loaded only about 500 kilograms, it could only carry two to three people, and its speed was only about 30 kilometers per hour, which was far from comparable to later cars.
However, after all, the physical objects have been made, so it is much easier to develop them on this basis.
In the 25th year of Chongzheng, Wang Zheng led the development of a new steam turbine. This steam turbine is more powerful and runs faster than the steam engine, so the speed of the ship doubled, and both the economic and military strength of the Ming Dynasty doubled.
In the 26th year of Chongzheng, the development of the cable telephone project chaired by Xu Fuyuan was completed. From then on, the Ming Dynasty entered the era of instant calls, and the transmission of various information became more convenient and faster. This made the Ming Dynasty's economic strength and military strength surge again, leaving countries around the world far behind.
In the 27th year of Chongzheng, the first Global Calligraphy and Painting Competition was held in the capital of Daming. Calligraphers and painters from all over the world actively participated. Chinese characters and ink paintings once again set off a craze in the world, and Chinese became the second language of most countries in the world.
In the 28th year of Chongzheng, the crown prince Zhu Heying, who was only sixteen years old, succeeded to the throne and changed the reign to Pinghe.
Peace, to be honest and peaceful, Zhu Cijiu hopes that his son can follow the rules and follow the footprints he has left, continue to develop, and make the Ming Empire more and more prosperous.
This year, Zhu Cijiu was only in his thirties. The reason why he passed the throne to his son so early was not because he was tired or because he was tired. He mainly wanted to see if the Ming Dynasty could continue to develop steadily without him.
If not, he can make corresponding adjustments.
After Zhu Heye ascended the throne, he only continued to observe in the capital for a year. Then, he rushed to Dongsheng Shenzhou with two empress dowagers, empresses, imperial concubines, all concubines and children, as well as the family of Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, and all the remaining royal relatives of the Ming Dynasty.
After arriving in Dongsheng Shenzhou, he began to divide the feudals again, but this time it was a veil to the royal family.
It turned out that the remaining royal ranks had not changed, but the territory had been doubled, and most of them were concentrated in the abbot's city in the southwest corner, which was near Perth in later generations.
As for King Xin Zhu Youjian and Zhu Cijing directly enfeoffed a large area of land near Yingzhou City, which was later Melbourne, to him, and let him take good care of his old age there.
As for him, he brought two empress dowagers, empresses, imperial concubines, all his concubines and children to live in Penglai City, which is near Sydney in later generations.
......
In the sixth year of Pinghe in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijing's 40th birthday, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong's family, King Xin Zhu Youjian's family, and Bi Maokang and other ministers came to celebrate. Even Emperor Pinghe Zhu He's emperor came to the palace. For a moment, the entire Penglai City palace was overcrowded.
After the luncheon, Zhu Heyi accompanied the Empress Dowager Qin Mingyue for a walk, while Zhu Cijiong took a group of ministers to the square of the front hall.
There was a newest Mingwei 125 off-road vehicle produced by the Royal Automobile Industry Group parked in the square. This was specially transported by Emperor Pinghe Zhu Heyan to celebrate his birthday.
How to say this car, the tires and chassis are designed well, which is almost the same as the off-road vehicles of later generations. Only the shell on it is really ugly, square, like a coffin board.
Zhu Cijing couldn't help but say to Wang Zheng, the Hou of Sucheng who was in charge of the automobile project: "Liangfu, why isn't this shell flowing in a streamlined shape?"
When Wang Zheng heard this, he thought about it, and then asked awkwardly: "This, Master, please forgive me for being stupid, what is streamlined?"
These old ministers couldn't change their words for a while. Seeing that he was all the emperor's call, he was used to it. As for this streamlined shape, it was really hard to explain. After thinking about it, he said to Cao Huachun behind him: "Eunuch Cao, go and get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Cao Huachun left, and Zhu Cijing was not idle either. He directly said to Duke Ji, Bi Maokang: "Meng Hou, do you remember the plane I asked you to think about?"
When Bi Maokang heard this, he said embarrassedly: "This, the emperor, the empress do not understand it."
Zhu Cijiu smiled and shook his head, then said to Teng Guo Gongsun Yuanhua: "Chuyang, do you remember the Rocket I asked you to think about?"
When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he said embarrassedly: "This, the emperor, the empress do not understand it."
At this time, Cao Huachun had already taken the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Zhu Cijing directly pulled out a piece of white paper and spread it on the flat hood. Then he lifted up the brush and drew it according to the shell of one of his favorite luxury models in later generations.
While drawing, he explained: "This streamlined shape is a shape with a certain arc. The shapes of aircraft and rockets are streamlined, and the car shell must also be streamlined."
Wang Zheng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help asking: "Prince, how to process this streamlined shape? Can I use a hammer to process it?"
Zhu Cijing shook his head while painting: "No, with a punching machine, the punching machine can not only break the iron plate, but also burst out of various shapes. As long as the mold does not have sharp blades."
When Wang Zheng heard this, he suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, praising the emperor's wisdom.
Bi Maokang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask: "Prince, why do the plane have to be streamlined?"
Zhu Cijing explained while drawing: "This streamlined pattern is to reduce the resistance of the wind."
Sun Yuanhua, who was standing beside him, couldn't help asking: "Prince, does Feng still have any resistance?"
