Mystery Makes Me Strong

Chapter 1500: steam engine

The latest website: Dasuguo, looking at the name, some people in the imperial court thought it was a land of rice fragrant and corn.

But I don't know that this one is not another one.

It is a shame to endorse a country as evil.

They started out with trade and plunder, and in order to retake the eastern trade routes, they have defeated many maritime hegemons successively.

Now finally, by the west wind of the steamship, they have reached the east and started their journey.

…………

"What? A monster with black smoke and white gas?" In Huaquan Palace, Lu Zhi looked at a report and suddenly got up.

"Lafayette, this Mr. Liu doesn't learn Western arts, this is obviously a steamboat, what kind of monster." The seven-generation reincarnation of Chaoying, the **** of the Si Lijian who handed over the memorial, said with a smile...

Lu Zhi glanced at him, then removed the earplugs.

Then she heard Chaoying VII's voice:

"Old Liu is a stubborn old man who pretends to be honest, dares to go against the Zajia, and dares to investigate the seven-bedroom wife of the Zajia outside the palace. The Zajia must kill her today."

She put the earplugs in again.

An old stubborn, but an honest official.

A civilized person is a **** + insatiable greed.

None of these matters, she suddenly realized a big problem: the dynasty's chaos cycle, she solved it by cheating and deceiving.

It doesn't matter if the people don't have land, as long as they have work to do.

The imperial court dispatched labor, engaged in river work, engaged in sailing, and engaged in foreign immigration... How could the imperial court have no money and no food, and defrauded the money and food from the landowners, and even took their lives.

These are equivalent to engaging in land redistribution every year.

So her court lasted for five hundred years.

However, the internal worries were gone, and she subconsciously ignored the external troubles.

It is also because she has always lived in Dongzhou and never thought there was any foreign trouble.

In the history of the textbook, it is all about expanding eastward, westward, southward and northward. Wherever there is any foreign invasion, it is always foreign joy: every time it expands to a place, the local people welcome Master Wang, and congratulations on getting the Dongzhou Red Card for free.

Now that Westerners have come up with steam engines, she suddenly realizes one thing.

Well, she forgot about the Industrial Revolution!

Some people will laugh at it, how can the traveler forget the industrial revolution and the steam engine?

Those who say this are ignoring that there are countless people who don't even know about the Sino-Japanese War, let alone the Industrial Revolution.

Anyway, Lu Zhi still knew about the chaos cycle of a dynasty, which was pretty good.

At this time, she immediately issued an edict: "I immediately ordered the cabinet to draw up a decree to recruit people from Western learning, buy and imitate Western steamboats, and learn Western-style maritime warfare!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Chaoying VII immediately knelt down, and then went out to pass the word of the Empress Dowager.

The queen mother has long been Lafayette, an old immortal.

The fountain of youth that does not need to be reincarnated is only available to her old man.

This is normal, and of course the most honorable people drink the best version.

No one has an opinion on this.

Even if there is ambition, it will be curbed, and dare not discuss what is fair and unfair in public.

…………

Cabinet Office, South Study Hall.

Four cabinets, plus four ministers, plus some important ministers, are working here.

"What kind of Western steamboat? They are all strange and ingenious, and nothing to mention. I have a million soldiers in the Heavenly Dynasty, why should I be afraid of this thing?" said Sanfu VIII.

Shoufu VII looked at him, thinking that fortunately the Queen Mother was not here, otherwise, the third child would have to become a hedgehog.

"You used to say the same thing about Westerners' cannons." Huang Xiong VI, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, said disdainfully.

It has been 340 years since he became a minister, and he has been reincarnated for six generations, and he can live 40 to 60 years old in each life, which is actually very good.

San Fu was very unlucky. Two times he only lived to be four years old. Fortunately, he confessed to a dead man in advance and came to receive him. When he was about to die, he quickly took the spring water of youth and solved himself before he could continue his reincarnation.

This is the advantage of important ministers. There is always a way to find a few dead men, whether they are trained from orphans, or one or two from the imperial court system.

Ordinary rich people can't do this.

"Hmph, governance depends on virtue rather than danger. Now the people are happy, and they have not heard of bandits and riots for more than 30 years. This is unprecedented. The people's hearts are in me. What is a steamboat in the Western District?" San Fu said a little. don't care.

Everyone shook their heads.

The third child was stabbed by the Queen Mother, but fortunately he was cured.

Now he is still stubborn and insists on fighting against the Queen Mother.

Fortunately, the queen mother did not know why, after he reincarnated several times, he was promoted again.

The empress dowager is really broad-minded, far better than many emperors.

How do they know that the real third child has been dead for hundreds of years, and the current one is just the third child with previous memories.

No matter what happens to Mrs. Lu, it is impossible to hold grudges against the dead hundreds of years ago.

"Put away your virtues first, I only know that their steamboats are cavalry at sea, and our sailboats are infantry, and the disadvantage is too obvious. If you fight, you can't catch up, and if you lose, you will be completely defeated. The army is destroyed. Since ancient times, only the cavalry can restrain the cavalry." The Minister of War said with a cautious face.

Huang Xiong VI nodded, someone who can take the position of Minister of Military Affairs, the Queen Mother will definitely not choose to be stubborn, that is courting death.

The Ministry of Rites can find a stubborn old man, it doesn't matter, if he is disobedient, he will give him a knife.

"That household, how many mobile silver taels do you still have? Can you allocate them to buy Western steamboats and imitate them?" Shoufu VII nodded, and then asked Huang Xiong.

"The Ministry of Household only has 2 million taels of live silver, but the Queen Mother gave Zhang Tiaozi at the beginning of the year, and there are still 300 million taels of mobile silver." Huang Xiong VI said arrogantly.

He is sitting dead on the Ministry of Household, and he is not uncommon for the first assistant.

Everyone looked at the yellow bear with envy and hatred.

If you have money, the household is the uncle.

Without money, the household is a dog.

"Let's make a budget first. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry will select a few people to go down and ask the merchants who are proficient in western ships to see how the steamboat is sold." First Assistant said.

Everyone nodded.

When the meeting was about to end, a sudden report came from outside.

"Report, a long-distance telegram from the Nanjiangkou, the Dasu Nation's fleet forcibly rushed through the customs and fired artillery at Nancheng, demanding that we immediately reduce tariffs and allow them to go deep into the inland and trade freely."

"Damn it!" The Minister of War was furious, "How can a group of barbarians force their way into someone else's house?"

Shoufu VII took the telegram.

The benefits of the telegraph, the important ministers realized immediately, the natural attribute of the centralization of the imperial court, so they immediately ordered investment and construction.

This thing is the natural nemesis of side generals and distant chieftains, and a natural help for civil servants to take charge of the world.

He read the telegram and passed it on to the crowd.

"Damn, the Governor of Southern Province ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ actually said that he is powerless to fight, that he can't fight without surrender, he can only die to repay the Queen Mother and the court!" Huang Xiong VI was furious after seeing it.

After eating so much money from him, I can only say such words now, it should be killed!

"The Westerners' boats are strong and cannons are sharp, and one shot can erode dozens of miles. Has he never learned any Western education? The Westerners' artillery is just a smoothbore cannon. Where can it be used for dozens of miles of erosion?"

"The governor of the southern province and the general army yamen should be executed!"

In the Xiaochaotang, the ministers were filled with righteous indignation.

"Hurry up and ask the Queen Mother to discuss important matters." Shoufu VII responded faster, and immediately asked the **** who was serving to spread the news.

As for the emperor, he just eats and drinks every day, participates in some etiquette ceremonies, and does not understand anything about the important affairs of the court.

As soon as the voice fell, the voice of the great **** Chaoying VII came from outside the door.

"The Queen Mother is here!"
