Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 327
"Sun Langzhong, how do you feel about our visit to southern Liaoning this time?" Chu Yun sat on the main seat, staring at a group of envoys.

Across the battlefield, Chu Yun, who has been in control of Liaonan for five years, already has a fierce aura, faded from his youth, and just sitting there is enough to shock these courtiers who have not traveled far.

Chu Yun didn't know much about the officials in Chongzhen's last years, but Sun Chuanting definitely counted as one.Sun Chuanting led the "Qin soldiers" to hang and beat Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rebels, and captured Chuangwang Gao Yingxiang alive.It's a pity that he was urged by the court to fight when the soldiers and food were insufficient, and finally died in Tongguan, Shaanxi, wrapped in horse leather.There is even a record in "History of Ming Dynasty" that "Chuan Ting died, and Ming Dynasty died".

Chu Yun admired such a person from the bottom of his heart, so he was naturally quite polite to him.If the imperial court sent some small shrimps and crabs, Chu Yun would simply send them to Anshan for mining, so why would he spend time dealing with them.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say..." Sun Chuanting thought of the fear of being ruled by the hut, and couldn't help smiling bitterly.

"Why do you say that?" Chu Yun asked.

"I'm really ashamed to say it..." Sun Chuanting is also a generous person. Since Chu Yun asked, he simply told Chu Yun what he wanted to hear in the new hut.

He was not afraid of embarrassment at all, because the same thing happened to other envoys when they relieved themselves!Since everyone is the first time a big girl gets on the sedan chair, there is nothing to be ashamed of!

After hearing this, Chu Yun smiled: "Although this product is novel, it has many benefits. It is of immeasurable effect on the prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases."

"When I came to Liaodong this time, I saw many new things that I had never seen in the Guan. The more new things I saw, the more doubts I had in my heart. I wonder if my lord can answer the doubts in my heart." Sun Chuanting said.

"For the time being, if you can answer the doubts in your heart, I am also willing to answer."

"Okay. I saw that there are lanterns on both sides of the street. They are called electric lamps. They can illuminate the night like day, but what is the principle? There are also lanterns that are tens of feet long and can travel thousands of miles a day. They are nonstop day and night. Why?" Sun Chuanting expressed his doubts.

I really think of myself as an encyclopedia.Chu Yunjian and Sun Chuanting seemed like a curious baby, so he had to briefly explain the principles that he didn't understand much to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting was still a little stunned.Not only Sun Chuanting, but also the other envoys were stunned and completely incomprehensible.Electric lamps convert bioenergy into heat, and heat into electricity.Involved in the knowledge of energy conversion.The content that may be understood by middle school students in their teens is difficult for them who have never been exposed to natural subjects.

They can only understand a little with the knowledge of analogy.

"Candles can be made of tallow, and oil lamps can be lit with soybean oil. It turns out that this electric lamp can be lit with coal. It's amazing. The world is so big, there are thousands of residents, I didn't expect that no one in the customs could come out. Black coal has such effects . "Sun Chuanting said.

"The horse-drawn carriages eat grass to pull goods, but the trains still eat coal. The rest of the envoys only think that the trains can eat coal, and they don't know how to work. As for the conversion of heat and kinetic energy, it is like a scripture."

"Probably like this." Chu Yun couldn't make them understand all at once.

And many things do not need to be understood by everyone. Society is a society of division of labor, and it is enough for most people to know how to use it.

At this time, Sun Chuanting was wondering whether such a thing could be produced in Guannei.If trains and electric lights just eat coal, then it shouldn't be difficult to manufacture them.

If Chu Yun knew what Sun Chuanting was thinking, he would probably smile even more.Electric lights and trains are only the most superficial things, but behind them are new technologies such as metallurgy technology, power generation technology, and machine tool technology.If there is no system to support it, it is estimated that a modern engineer will not be able to figure out these things even if he travels over.

"You haven't said why you came to southern Liaoning this time?" Chu Yun asked.

Finally came to the topic.Seeing Chu Yun's question, these envoys all sat upright.

"Since your lord has asked the question, you might as well speak out boldly. The imperial court fought the rebels on the northwest frontier and found that the rebels had a musket team. The muskets they used were very similar to those of your Liao army. Behind the scenes, he secretly supported the traitors and opposed the court." Sun Chuanting said.

This guy really dares to ask!Chu Yun secretly thought.

"Does the imperial court have any evidence against it? I guard thousands of miles outside the pass for the imperial court, with a vast territory. Why do I support the rogues in the remote northwest? What has this to do with me?" Of course Chu Yun denied it.

"No, no. If your lord supports the intruders and opposes the imperial court, the imperial court will inevitably send troops to suppress the intruders. Then the imperial court will be unable to manage the affairs of Liaodong. Or your lord has already done so." Sun Chuanting said.

Chu Yun couldn't help but look at Sun Chuanting with admiration.When it comes to non-new things, the brains of these ancient people are not stupid at all, but all of them are shrewd and see clearly.It was as if Sun Chuanting was outspoken, explaining exactly what Chu Yun was thinking.Of course, one thing he didn't expect was that besides wanting to support Li Zicheng against the imperial court, Chu Yun even wanted Li Zicheng to capture the capital and help him break through the disadvantages accumulated by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.Sun Chuanting did not dare to think of such a bold idea, and he never thought that Chu Yun would have such a bold idea.

"Is there any evidence?" Although Sun Chuanting guessed [-]% to [-]%, Chu Yun still couldn't admit it.

"Here is a blueprint drawn by our craftsmen with reference to the musket captured from the intruder. Sir, can you see if it is your musket?" Sun Chuanting took out a blueprint from his pocket and handed it to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun took it over and looked at it, and it was indeed the outdated 1777 rifle used by the Fuliao Army a few years ago.In order to prevent Li Zicheng from becoming bigger, Chu Yun also modified the 1777 rifle before secretly selling it to Li Zicheng.Of course, after modification, the muskets sold to Li Zicheng were less powerful...

"Although this is a rifle we used. But it has been phased out and piled up in the warehouse in the past two years, and it is no longer used. How did it end up in Li Zicheng's hands?" Chu Yun looked puzzled.

Sir, as the leader of the army, you don't even know where your muskets went?The envoys to southern Liaoning couldn't help squinting.

"By the way, maybe the quartermaster colluded with the intruders, and secretly swapped the muskets we eliminated from the warehouse and sold them to the intruders. Some people just like to take risks, and such things have happened from time to time in the past. How about it, you guys Stay here first, I ordered a thorough investigation of the warehouse, if there is really a military quartermaster colluding with the robbers, I will definitely punish them severely." Chu Yun said.

"I don't know how long it will take?"

"At least two or three months, at most a year and a half, Sun Langzhong, wait until our results are thoroughly investigated, and then go back to the pass with the envoy." Chu Yun said.

Sun Chuanting's face was ashen. He had heard that the Liao army liked to force envoys to stay. Didn't expect such an excuse to come up?
