Chapter 447: The Telegraph Comes Out
Chu Wenxiu is an eloquent in level 8, where is Liu Li the opponent?
As a result, the peace agreement was successful. He signed a contract with Ning Ze in a daze. Nan Cheng compensated the Chinese Kingdom 150,000 gold, 700,000 stone of military rations, warships, horses, weapons and armor. Some were to compensate the "China's losses", and the other was to Bai Jingtang's ransom.
A Bai Jingtang who refused to surrender was useless to Ning Ze, and he didn't want to spend time sending it to Jinzhou for Liu Yuanxiang to persuade him personally. After all, his attributes were not good enough to make people shine, and they reached the point where they had to be.
After the two parties signed the agreement, Liu Li first returned to Nancheng to report on the matters of the agreement. He had to wait for Nancheng to deliver the "compensation" before he would release the person.
Of course, when you go back, you must be despised by other officials. Liu Qing, who recommended him, felt embarrassed to pay so much compensation.
Ma Jian and Feng Qiao were both dissatisfied with the amount of "compensation" in the agreement, but there was no way at the moment. They were worried that Ning Ze would continue to attack, and their side had no troops to conquer and could not resist. If they really wanted to fight, they would suffer greater losses.
Although I was not satisfied with this agreement, I could only hold it back for the time being, knocking off my teeth and swallowing blood.
Nancheng delivered the "compensation" to Loushan County in accordance with the agreement. Ning Ze indeed abides by the agreement and the two sides officially signed the armistice peace agreement. Even if such an agreement can be torn up at any time, it can be a ceasefire in a short time.
Bai Jingtang was successfully brought back to Wubao by Nan Cheng's envoy, and the matter came to an end.
Ningze laid a solid foundation for the defense of Zeshan and Loushan counties to ensure the stability of the city and the stability of the people's hearts, and ordered Chu Wenxiu and Huang Shao to cooperate with Zhong Jizhao to guard the place and lead the troops in Jiangzhou to evacuate.
Chen Tai and Nie Wei returned to Jiangzhou one after another. Ningze went to Jiangzhou to meet Wang Wei. He used medical skills to cure him, so that he could recover as before, and returned to Jinzhou together.
In the autumn of the 7th year of Xihua, the war subsided.
Zhou, Liang and Nancheng all chose to recuperate due to lack of youth and strength and difficulty in recruiting troops, and issued policies to benefit the people to increase the population and attract people from other forces, and worked hard to solve the lack of youth and strength, which led to the difficulty of farming, construction and recruiting troops.
In fact, in addition to war, another factor that caused this difficulty was China's continued policy of benefiting the people. Ning Ze used his upright plot to directly plunder the population.
Although there are also problems with the young and middle-aged populations that have emerged by the three forces in China, they are relatively less serious. Among the large populations attracted by the people-friendly policies, many children have grown up in the past few years.
All parties rest and recuperate, and the entire continent became quiet.
In the summer of Xihua 8th, inside the palace of Huajun, Jinzhou.
In the past six months, Tang Niu, Lu Cong, and Ma Jian have been busy solving the internal population dilemma and have no way to send troops to harass Ning Ze.
China's chassis is getting bigger and bigger, and it is also busy cultivating or recruiting personnel to supplement a large number of vacancies.
The scale of Chinese civil officials and military generals in the court was almost formed. The elderly Chu Xun obtained Yanshou San, and Ning Ze's medical skills were guaranteed, so he was able to handle political affairs easily. He also formed a complete system of officials under the prime minister, which made Ning Ze and his wife take the burden.
During this period, Ningze, who finally ended the war and returned home, had his wife and children by his side, enjoying the joy of family every day.
In Yuanxi Palace, Liu Yuanxiang, Chu Meiren, Mi Yan, Hua Erniang, and Xiaodie sat next to the side quietly embroidery. A group of seven or eight-year-old children knelt in front of Ning Ze. Everyone shook their heads and read and recited with Ning Ze who was paced up and down in front of him.
"I will listen to my plan, and I will win if I use it, and I will keep it." Ning Ze carried his hands behind him.
"I will listen to my plan, and I will win if I use it, and keep it!!" The children's voices were very consistent.
"If you don't listen to my plan, you will lose it if you use it. You will get rid of it!"
"If you don't listen to my plan, you will lose it if you use it. You will get rid of it!"
"Let's learn to make a profit..."
As he was reciting, the palace maid Qiu Chan came in with a brisk small step and saluted respectfully: "There is a person outside the palace who said there is something important to ask for the prince!"
"Who?" Ning Ze turned around and asked her.
"This is the token that the man asked the slave to bring!" Qiu Chan presented a token.
Ning Ze understood when he saw the token, it was a certificate from the Secret Research Institute.
Outsiders of this institution are unknown, only their own couples and a few confidant generals know about it.
Immediately took the token and nodded, "You retreat first!"
"Here!" Qiu Chan took a few steps back properly, then stopped hesitantly.
"What?" Ning Ze asked in confusion when he saw her posture.
"I... I want to change shifts early today and go home early." Qiu Chan replied carefully.
Ning Ze thought for a moment and smiled: "Oh~ Wang Tong is back from the mission today, the couple is going to reunite, right?"
Qiu cicada turned red.
"Okay, I'm sure!" Ning Ze smiled, "I'm still the same sentence. Pay attention to concealing Wang Tong's identity and don't let people see the clues."
"Thank you, Prince!" Qiu Chan felt relieved, and then thanked her for her and left quickly, unable to wait.
After Ning Ze waited for her to leave, he turned to face his wives: "Yan'er, Ernie!"
"Hey!!" The two wives who were called immediately put down their needlework and rushed to Ning Ze.
Actually, they don't like embroidery.
"I want to go out and see what's going on in the research institute. You two take your children to the Imperial Garden and teach them how to learn martial arts first!"
"Okay!" Mi Yan clapped her hands excitedly, turned to the children and shouted, "Xiuer, Man'er, Zheng'er, Qian'er, Xiu'er, Rui'er, Cheng'er, time for martial arts practice!"
Liu Xiu took the lead, stood up with his six younger brothers and sisters, and bowed to Ning Ze together: "Father, the child has gone to practice martial arts!!"
"Go!" Ning Ze smiled and nodded, watching the children follow Mi Yan and Hua Erniang leave the palace.
In the blink of an eye, the child is seven or eight years old, and he dare not even think about it before traveling through time.
The children are also sensible. Although they have been fighting abroad all year round, their wives are well-mannered, especially as the empress, Liu Yuanxiang teaches them very strictly. If the tutoring is good, the children will naturally be obedient.
Ning Ze came outside the palace with the token, and someone came forward to salute: "Shao Yi (Magnolia) pays homage to the prince!"
A man and a woman were respectful in front of him.
It turned out to be the assassin who was conquered by Ning Ze before. Both of them were loyal to the full value and were loyal to Ning Ze. On the one hand, they were responsible for training secret troops, and on the other hand, they were also responsible for security and anti-revealing work in the Secret Research Institute.
Ning Ze nodded to them: "No need to be polite! What's the point of seeing the orphan today?"
While speaking, he threw the token to Shao Yi.
Shao Yi collected the token and replied respectfully: "Report to the prince, there is new progress, you must go there!"
"Oh?" Ning Ze knew that it was not suitable to speak too clearly, so he said, "Get on the horse."
Shao Yi and Yulan quickly turned over and left the palace with Ning Ze, and ran towards the city gate.
The war horses left the city and came all the way to the Secret Research Institute.
The head of the Secret Research Institute is still Mao Xi, but his official position has become a military officer, which is higher than the previous arsenal order.
Mao Xi came out to greet him in person. Seeing Ning Ze coming, he stepped forward and bowed to the end: "My minister Mao Xi welcomed the prince!"
Ning Ze, Shao Yi and Yulan dismounted at the same time and walked to Mao Xi: "What's the progress?"
"Report to the prince!" Mao Xi looked up and looked proud, "We have to eat and sleep. After a long period of research, we finally built a telegraph machine according to the prince's requirements! After testing, it is exactly the same as the prince's requirements!"
"Oh?!" Ning Ze was overjoyed when he heard this. The telegraph was the first communication artifact he drew after he got the magnet, so that the institute could study and create. In this feudal and backward world, Feige's letter transmission is a very advanced communication method, but the advent of the telegraph was enough to change the world. "Let me see!"
"Prince, please!" Mao Xi led the way, led Ning Ze into the secret research institute, and came to a stone house.
"Prince!!" The busy staff in the house saluted Ning Ze collectively.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Ning Ze nodded, "Everyone continue, don't care about Gu. Mao Bingcao, hurry up and let Gu see the finished telegraph machine."
"Hurry! Then whoever, hurry up and take out the telegraph machine, be careful! It will break and remove your head!" Mao Xi turned his head and shouted at a researcher.
The researchers who were called carefully took out a machine that looked a bit frustrating from the huge cabinet next to them, which was not very good-looking.
Although it is far from Ning Ze's imagination of telegraph, it has a certain prototype, just like that.
Ning Ze quickly stepped forward and checked carefully. He looked a little ugly, and there was nothing he could do. After all, it was quite difficult to make very fine parts in the current process, after all, the level was limited. However, the telegraph machine should have all the components, and it seemed that the basic structure was in line with the drawings.
"Is it really effective?" Ning Ze asked.
"Report to the prince, we have already done the test!" Mao Xi replied happily, "This thing can convey sounds to each other from a distance. The other one is just ten miles away, you can try it!"
Ning Ze took a look at the simpler hand-crank generator next to the telegraph.
Before he could speak, Shao Yi immediately stepped forward and quickly rotated with the hand-cranked generator connected to the telegraph.
The construction of hand-crank power generators is not complicated and appears earlier than telegraph machines.
Having a hand-crank generator actually means that a larger generator can be built, and in this ancient times there was a chance to use electricity. The problem is that without electrical appliances, even if electricity is generated, it is useless. Ning Ze also stayed behind the principles and drawings of electrical appliances. The institute is still working hard to study these overly modern items. It still takes time to understand and build them smoothly.
Regardless of the electrical and electrical issues, Ning Ze tried to step forward and gently tapped out a string of Morse passwords on the telegraph.
After a while, a series of irregular sounds were heard, and it was obvious that the other party responded after receiving the information.
Ning Ze was overjoyed and tried several times to confirm that there was no problem with the telegraph machine. He immediately turned to Mao Xi: "Very good! Successfully made the telegraph machine, one great achievement! But the maximum communication distance of the telegraph machine must be understood first! According to the theory, the telegraph machine with this power can reach at least 1,000 kilometers, and people can be sent to start the test within the country."
"Yes!!" Mao Xi and others answered respectfully, their faces full of joy.
Chapter completed!
