In terms of science and technology, the invention of steam engines promoted the great development of industrial production. Using the principle of steam engines, local scientists of the Ming Dynasty used the principle that steam could generate pressure and successively launched many kinds of machinery. First, they used it in mining and metallurgy, and made great progress. The output of coal and steel grew rapidly due to the use of machinery, and the steam engine was improved in the continuous application, so the machinery manufacturing industry developed with the trend. The heavy industry of the Ming Dynasty entered an unprecedented good period of development from scratch.

Seeing the continuous emergence of some inventions and discoveries such as steam engines and achieved good economic effects, allowing the people to be liberated from heavy physical labor and gained huge material gains, the feudal guardians closed their beaks while enjoying the enjoyment of material civilization with technology, and no longer criticized the policies implemented by the court.

Steam engines are widely used in industries such as metal smelting, textile processing and machinery manufacturing. It caused the Ming Dynasty's textile products to turn over within three years. After the cost fell, the consumer prices also dropped. The people who made profits were the people and earned a lot of foreign exchange. At this time, the industrial revolution in Europe had not yet begun. On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty exported a large amount of European exports to Europe, which had a huge impact on the European textile industry. Many people engaged in the textile industry went bankrupt. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty invested in building factories and recruiting workers in some European countries. Once these factories were established, it was equivalent to mastering the textile industry, which was equivalent to mastering their clothes to achieve the Ming Dynasty's goal of controlling the global economy.

Faced with a giant and capital tycoon like the Ming Dynasty, some European countries did not see their true purpose at once. Their kings and nobles only knew who had gone to whose bed today, and which noble lady was getting along with the little girl, and the style of enjoyment and luxury spread throughout Europe. Perhaps in a few years, they would taste the glass of bitter wine they brewed. Of course, the Ming Dynasty would not think of overthrowing the regimes in these countries. After all, this may be a thankless thing, just control it.

In fact, Zhu Yinglong, the steam engine, is not very concerned about it, because its principle is very simple. As long as he is inspired and willing to do it, he can do it. What he cares most about is electricity. From a world where electricity is inseparable from electricity everywhere to a world without electricity, Zhu Yinglong’s most urgent heart is to have electricity, because electricity can be bright, and with electricity, the future of the Ming Dynasty will be brighter.

Zhu Yinglong's memory of generators is particularly profound, because when he was in middle school in his previous life, the junior high school he studied at that time was the only middle school in their county with a physics laboratory. At that time, he conducted an experiment, which was to assemble a hand-crank generator. Although he remembered the principle of the generator not very specific, he knew that generators could be easily made.

Of course, just building a generator can only be the first step. What is the next step? How to stabilize the voltage frequency, and the transmission of electricity, etc. This is a huge project, motors, electric lights, etc., which cannot be done in one day. Even if Zhu Yinglong, a later generation, leaks the secret from time to time, it cannot be achieved overnight. Moreover, some things appear too quickly, and no one can adapt to the social environment where it exists. It can only be a luxury thing and is left to the shelves!

It’s like personal computers. It has been popularized in foreign countries for several years, but it was still not possible in China at that time. Why? Because Chinese people are poor and China’s technology is backward, they can’t afford that thing, nor can they use that thing? This is the social environment!

Until a bold young man, who had a fantastic idea of ​​seeing lightning that could instantly make a short light appear between heaven and earth, he thought about whether he could keep this short light and serve mankind forever. He tried many materials, some of which had no reaction at all, and at most they could only produce some sparks and could not keep the light. Just when he was discouraged, he received a letter inexplicably. Then after years of research, he finally found a material and invented the electric light.

The advent of electric lights is enough to be recorded in history, and this young man named Aidi Sheng also won the Spark Fund Award that year.

The invention of electric lamps gave birth to the power industry, and the application of electricity also entered thousands of households in the Ming Dynasty. The first one to benefit was naturally the capital of the Ming Dynasty. A few years later, the first thermal power plant in the Ming Dynasty officially started construction, and from then on, the Ming Dynasty began the electrical era. This is a later story!

In terms of military, nearly one-fifth of the court's annual fiscal revenue was used in military construction and military industry research. The number of military personnel increased year by year with the expansion of the imperial territory and the implementation of the compulsory military service system across the country. By the end of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the seven major military regions, including the reserve service (local martial arts regiments), had exceeded two million people, and the population of the Ming Dynasty had already exceeded 100 million, becoming the super empire with the largest population in this era. Moreover, this number is still growing rapidly. It is estimated that in the next twenty to forty years, the population of the Ming Dynasty would at least double. If there was no policy under Zhu Yinglong that deliberately slowed down the population growth rate, the population growth rate might be faster than now. Once humans are not threatened by food and clothing, their ability to give birth is quite terrible!

Maybe dinosaurs seem to have racial destruction due to uncontrolled reproduction. Zhu Yinglong may not stop this trend, but it is still possible to delay it. At least it gives humans enough time to rush out of the constraints of the earth and go to the wider space to find new continuation.

Of course, Zhu Yinglong is not that great, but the harm of the rapid population growth to the country and the whole world has been very clear from later generations. The more people the population, the more resources they need. If the resources that could have been used for a hundred years, in the end, maybe fifty or thirty years, there will be war, because when war is inevitable, justice is just a high-sounding excuse. In the 21st century, that war is not to seize resources or occupy and protect its own resources?

Therefore, as long as human beings exist, the army will always exist. Even if the earth is unified one day, the army will not disappear. Therefore, Zhu Yinglong has very strict control over the army and attaches great importance to it. Because he was the principal of Tongzhou Military Academy, the middle and high-level officers who have grown up now basically regard themselves as his students. With such a relationship, the army can be said to be loyal to Zhu Yinglong, with millions of elite troops in hand, and no one in the country has made great waves. Since the recovery of Northeast China, Mongolia and Tibet, the Ming army has completely changed from cold weapons to hot weapons. Of course, the training of cold weapons has not been cancelled. Although fire weapons are powerful, they cannot completely replace cold weapons. After all, close combat, fire weapons cannot be compared with overly cold weapons.

With the arrival of the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zhu Yinglong's military expansion plan was still left, so he could draw a temporary talisman!

That is Japan in the east. In the eyes of any Chinese, Japan is synonymous with shamelessness. So God gave him such an opportunity, so that the tragic history cannot be repeated. Either erase Japan from the map, or completely occupy Japan and completely incorporate Japan into China. If the hatred in future generations is concerned, Zhu Yinglong would like to erase Japan. But now, even if according to history, it happened three hundred years later, if it would happen three hundred years later, if it would slaughter the entire Japan clean for something that would not happen three hundred years later, or if the chance of happening is so small that it would be small, he would not care how history would evaluate him, but he could not pass the hurdle in his heart. If he really did this, how would he face his children, women in the harem, and subjects under his rule? Would they all think that their beloved emperor, father, and husband are a murderous devil?

First of all, I can’t get over my conscience, and people can’t care too much about animals, right? At least they are still somewhat human.

So Zhu Yinglong decided to choose the second choice and incorporate Japan into China, because Japan originally belonged to China. Two thousand years ago, the alchemist Xu Fu brought three thousand boys and girls to the sea to Japan, wasn’t it because of the fact that Japan was called Fusang at that time, and it was an overseas enclave where only a small number of indigenous people lived. Xu Fu originally came to find the elixir of immortality for Qin Shihuang, but unfortunately he couldn’t find the way back, and there was no big ship to go back, so he settled in Fusang and reproduction, which led to the current Japan. Therefore, Fusang is an enclave occupied by China overseas. The first lord was the alchemist Xu Fu. But later these people could not return to Middle-earth, and even forgot their ancestors. It didn’t matter. When they regained Japan, they would know where their roots were!

After Sun Chengzong stepped down, he was tried his best to keep him. He went to Tongzhou Military Academy as honorary dean, a visiting professor, and was also competent for the head of the National Policy Advisory Group. Similarly, Xu Guangqi and Sun Shenxing also remained in office. Although they were not young, they were both idle people. They changed to a relaxed working environment. One went to Peking University to teach and the other went to Tsinghua University. They were also honorary deans and they all joined the National Policy Advisory Group.

But what Xiong Tingbi and Huang Zunsu did not expect was that the first thing they did after taking office was that the court wanted to launch a war against Japan, and that it was a war to completely occupy Japan. The emperor's reason was that he would not allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed!
