Chapter 3 The Western Magic Machine, the New Concubine Yu
The news had spread in the palace. Because the palace maid Zhang Yuer was summoned to be pregnant, the emperor issued an order to sign him into Concubine Yu and stayed in Changchun Palace.
I heard that Concubine Wang Liang had almost lost all her white cats; I also heard that the queen was generous and congratulated the emperor, and selected a well-behaved palace servant for Concubine Zhang Yu to serve.
The atmosphere in the palace also changed, saying that it was full of joy would not be enough. But the emperor was happy and the palace people also felt that it was easier, but it was true.
Even Sun Yuanhua, who came to the palace to meet, felt the emperor's pleasure, and his smile seemed to have never disappeared from his face. He kept praising him, which made him embarrassed.
I'm going to be a father, no matter whether he is Nezha or not, I can still subdue him!
Of course, happiness is happiness, but Zhu You proofreaded the praise of Sun Yuanhua is real, and it is not a matter of ease.
At that time, the gunners were the best in Fujian. They learned the skills from Westerners. However, they did not form a theory, but launched based on experience.
Sun Yuanhua combined the mathematical and geometric knowledge of the Jesus priests and the artillery techniques taught by Portuguese instructors to compile the first artillery monograph in my country, "Western God Machine".
Although "Western God Machine" is just the first draft and there are still many shortcomings and needs to be improved, it is a leap forward in artillery technology.
With simple and practical tools such as gun gauge, gun ruler and torque meter, complex ballistic calculations can be turned into simple ruler marking, and accurate distance measurement and angle positioning.
Combined with the techniques such as reloading and filling taught by Portuguese instructors, the training and training of gunners can be free from the constraints of empiricism, so that a lot of training can be carried out.
"Sun Qing's [Dingdian Novel www.xbooktxt.info] is used as a textbook for martial arts and artillery, but you must also pay attention to confidentiality." Zhu Youxiao also knew that this was impossible, but it was temporarily possible to keep it confidential.
Sun Yuanhua bowed and said, "Long live the wise. I also think so, but when the battle formations are in conflict, if a gunner is captured..."
Zhu Youxiao could only smile bitterly and said, "That's nothing to do, I can only try to avoid it."
After pausing, Zhu Youxiao continued: "Xu Qing is old, you student must do more work to share the burden with the teacher. I intend to set up the rank of technical official. You can go back and think about it carefully and give me a question book."
Sun Yuanhua was a little puzzled and asked, "Long live, is this technical official also determined according to the grade of civil servants or military generals?"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Technical officials do not have much administrative power, but those of the same rank are treated the same as civil officials or military generals. I believe you know some things about retirement and gratitude. I think this will make craftsmen have no worries, and some unique skills will no longer be cherished and will not be revealed to others."
In ancient Chinese craftsmen often paid attention to "passing their sons but not daughters", and were worried about "teaching their disciples to starve their masters to death", so they often kept their hands.
Therefore, this so-called ancestral technique is easily lost, or it becomes less and less, and even eventually annihilated.
Zhu Youxiao wanted to divide officials into three types: administrative officials, technical officials and military generals, and thus form the concept of attaching importance to science and technology.
At the same time, the use of the pension system also allows craftsmen to display and impart skills without reservation.
Of course, the effect of doing this should be limited. However, if you want to introduce a patent system, the current conditions are really not met.
Moreover, according to people's thinking and psychology at that time, being able to be an "official" was a sign of success in life. It is estimated that Western scholars such as Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Tao also had this idea.
Regardless of whether this is the case or not, Zhu Youxiao will give those talents who are engaged in science and technology an official rank and title.
In this way, they don’t have to go into politics, but focus on doing a good job in science and technology and academics. Historically, Sun Yuanhua’s political career was a very tragic example.
A deeper meaning is to encourage people to take a diversified path, not just focus on the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination.
If you can become an official with mastery and study other skills, it will make some people moved and will also make some people learn based on their interests and hobbies.
Sun Yuanhua did not fully understand Zhu Youxiao’s idea, but he also knew that this was excellent news for Western scholars, including him, and even senior craftsmen in the factory.
"I understand." Sun Yuanhua bowed and bowed, "After returning, he immediately drafted the charter and presented it to the imperial examination."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and reached out to signal Sun Yuanhua to sit down, and said slowly: "There is priority and there is no need to do anything personally. Management is a knowledgeable thing, so you need to think of more ways to improve productivity."
Sun Yuanhua knew that the emperor was anxious about military production and the development of spontaneous muskets, and immediately replied: "Long live and rest assured, I have set up a research team in accordance with the will and refined the factory's production management regulations."
After a pause, Sun Yuanhua promised: "At the latest next month, you should see the results."
"Then I'll wait and see!" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "There's nothing else, let's just stop here today!"
Sun Yuanhua hurriedly stood up to salute and retreated.
There was a lot of good news. The young emperor was walking slowly in the hall, touching his chin and smiling happily.
The big prize was awarded on Zhang Yuer, but it was not surprising that I was able to shoot my marksmanship!
Of course, with an objective analysis, we can see that although Zhang Yuer is just a palace maid, in addition to her status, she is only a little less favored than the queen Zhang Yan, and is almost the same as the two concubines.
Because Zhu Youxiao often went to bed late and sometimes was too lazy to move, he became obsessed in the Qianqing Palace.
Think about it, sleeping alone is too cold, so you have to hold it and keep warm. If you stick too close, you will easily get excited and get angry or get angry.
Another important reason should be that in terms of health, Zhang Yuer was seventeen years older than Zhang Yan and her two concubines. She was very healthy because she often did rough work in the past.
He was a human being in two lives, three palaces and six courtyards, and suddenly realized that he would have children. Zhu Youxiao felt complicated. But he was still happy and was very quick to issue an order.
However, when Zhang Yuer had a reputation, she had to move to Changchun Palace and could not stay in Qianqing Palace. This made Zhu Youxiao, who was used to the girl beside her, feel a little uncomfortable and regretful.
Because the Qianqing Palace was the place where the emperor handled government affairs. Based on the ancestral teaching that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, even the Queen Zhang Yan could not come here casually.
Fortunately, there are still novices who can rub and suck.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the cat who was basking in the sun at the window, looking lazy and sleepy, and did not disturb it. He turned around and walked to the sand table at the corner of the hall, and he began to think about it again.
Although Zhu Youxiao did not directly interfere with the command of the frontline generals, he also liked the feeling of guiding the country and strategizing.
If he felt that it was very possible to achieve it, he would go to the secret letter to seek advice. Maybe his inspiration would really create a miracle!
Lushun, Jinzhou, and the four guards in southern Liaoning... Zhu Youxiao's eyes were circling on the Liaodong Peninsula again, thinking about the ideas he had before.
Zhang Pan should have occupied Lushun. Although there is no reinforcement from Huangshi now, it has also repelled Jiannu's first attack.
If we not only repel it, but deliberately lure Jiannu to attack, and then land heavily on both sides of the narrowest area of Nanguan, wouldn’t we be able to have an annihilation battle?
But to fight an annihilation battle, you must expect the enemy to be lenient. If the enemy sends 10,000 troops to attack, cut off the enemy's retreat and block it from both sides, it may take 20,000 to 30,000 people.
Dongjiang Town alone probably won’t work, and Dengzhen and Jinzhen need to be added. Relying on current communications and coordination to launch is not an easy task.
After preparing for a long time, what should I do if Jiannu is not deceived?
Zhu Youxiao shook his head gently, not rejecting it all, but preparing to discuss it with Xiong Tingbi and Teacher Yuan in a secret message.
But his eyes were still focused on the Liaodong Peninsula. Even if there was no annihilation war, digging trenches or building troughs in Nanguan, and occupying such a large area is also a good choice.
Zhu Youxiao's favor is the Dalian area in later generations, while Nanguan is Nanguanling. Beiqianguantun, Ganjingzi District, Dalian City, was only ten miles from the east to west, and was the narrowest part of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Occupying the islands alone is not a threat to Jiannu.
When occupying Jinzhou, not only would Lushun, a good port, transport food and salary, but also would have land to cultivate, which could accommodate tens of thousands of Liao people and become a bridgehead for eternal hardship.
With a firm foothold, you can continue to compete with Jiannu in the north for the three guards of Liaonan. Even if you fail, you will restrain Jiannu's large number of troops.
Zhu Youxiao thought about it again and again before leaving the sand table, returning to the table to lay paper and pick up the pen, and wrote a letter to Teacher Yuan.
……………………
Changchun Palace is one of the six palaces in the west of the inner court, located north of Tai Chi Hall and south of Xianfu Palace.
The yellow glazed tiles are covered with a mountain-style roof, the front door is opened, the open door is opened, the partition door, the bamboo pattern skirt board, the second and the tips are all sill windows, and the step-by-step windows are supported.
There are curtains on the left and right sides of the palace and the second side are separated from the second side. There are floor-to-ceiling kangs near the north of the tip to make the dormitory. There are copper turtles and copper cranes on the left and right sides of the hall.
The east side hall is called Suishou Hall and the west side hall is called Chengxi Hall. Each has three rooms, with a front corridor connected to the corner corridor, which can connect to each hall.
Concubine Zhang Yu sat in the bright room, looking out through the window, dazed.
These two days seemed like dreaming, and they suddenly turned from a palace maid to a concubine, noble lady, and empress. They changed into gorgeous clothes and moved into this palace. The palace maids also served them respectfully...
But she didn't have much surprise, maybe she hadn't adapted yet. She was stunned for a long time and felt that she was not as happy as she was by the emperor.
I gently stroked my lower abdomen and didn’t feel anything at all, but because of the little baby inside, my situation changed so much, right?
Zhang Yu'er let out a breath helplessly, as if she was sighing.
In the future, even the Qianqing Palace will not be able to go there casually, and it will not be so easy to see the emperor.
Although this concubine is much larger than a "poop shoveler", it is not comfortable at all.
He pouted his little mouth slightly, and the newly enthroned Concubine Zhang Yu looked a little depressed.
