My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 125: The time has come to prepare for a private visit in private and expand the territory.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Li Tianxin, wearing a unicorn robe and a futou hat, carried a long wooden box and boarded Zhu Jianshen's royal train at the train station a few miles northeast of Fenyang City.

"Du...chichichichi...哐啷哐啷哐吷..."

Amidst the sound of the whistle, a black smoke column and a white air column emerged from the locomotive, and it slowly started to move.

The black smoke column is the black smoke produced when coal is burned, and the white gas column is water vapor.

Li Tianxin sat by the window of the penultimate carriage, looking out the window at the scenery passing from slow to fast, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

The development of this world can almost be said to be driven by him. He will definitely leave a mark in the history books.

Wearing a white chef's uniform and a chef's hat on his head, the eunuch chef from the palace's Shangshan Supervisor came to Li Tianxin's side and respectfully said in his high-pitched voice: "I have seen the Duke of Jin, but I don't know the Duke." What do you want to eat?"

Li Tianxin looked at the cook and said warmly: "A medium-aged steak, a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, and a bottle of wine, that's it."

"Yes, the little one retire."

Since steam tractors replaced oxen as the main tool for plowing, the Ming Dynasty's oxen protection law has been abolished.

Although some places where the terrain is not flat enough and the mountains are too undulating for steam tractors to operate, oxen are still used to plow the land, but killing oxen is no longer illegal.

Beef has also begun to become a regular dish on the common people's dining tables, and the plot of wealthy people in the inn clamoring for two pounds of beef has become a reality, but beef is not cheap at the moment.

Some powerful and wealthy businessmen with business acumen have even begun to engage in beef cattle breeding, making a lot of money.

However, as more and more businesses breed beef cattle, the price of beef will come down sooner or later.

The voices in the court about attacking the Mongolian tribes, avenging the Ming Dynasty's shame, and turning the grasslands into Ming Dynasty pastures became louder and louder.

The new generation of courtiers are all energetic and enterprising, and they are completely different from the old-fashioned ministers.

With the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, attacking the Tatar Wara Uliangha and other Mongolian tribes is almost equivalent to a dimensionality reduction attack.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has developed rapidly, and with Li Tianxin there, there is basically no technical bottleneck.

The reason why the first industrial revolution in history took a full 80 years to complete is because all new technologies and new knowledge were created by people from scratch, bit by bit.

But those things that people have spent 80 years exploring exist directly in Li Tianxin's mind. He is a person standing on the shoulders of giants.

Although Li Tianxin didn't know everything, the ancients were not stupid, they just didn't know enough.

After Li Tianxin systematically taught some basic physical chemistry knowledge to others and trained a group of talents in the physical chemistry department, countless smart people will naturally come to innovate and further deepen the research.

The creativity of the ancients should not be underestimated. In many cases, Li Tianxin did not need to explain all the details clearly. He only needed to roughly put forward a concept or theory, and people would naturally be able to research the relevant technologies.

They omitted the most time-consuming intermediate steps such as ideation, project establishment, and verification, and went directly to the final step of practice. The time saved was measured in ten years.

Many things are not a question of whether they can be created, but whether they can be thought of.

Once something is thought up, sooner or later it will be realized.

Someone once commented on Li Tianxin, saying that his head was the most valuable head in the Ming Dynasty.

If the knowledge in his head were converted into money, it would be enough to buy half of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Tianxin just smiled lightly. In the eyes of others, this evaluation was already very high.

But in his own opinion, this evaluation pattern is still a bit small.

If the knowledge in his head were exchanged for money, it would be more than enough to buy the entire Eurasian continent, let alone the Ming Dynasty.

A moment later, Li Tianxin was on a steam train in the seventh year of Chenghua, that is, 1471 AD, eating seven-year-old steak, slurping Shanxi fried noodles that taste like pasta, and drinking chilled red wine from the Ming Dynasty, heading for the capital. go.

……

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the royal train arrived at Beijing West Station. Li Tianxin carried his wooden box, mounted a fast horse, and ran towards the Forbidden City.

Arriving outside the Xuanwu Gate, Li Tianxin rode straight into the Forbidden City without stopping.

Not only did the imperial guards not stop him, but they all knelt on one knee and saluted.

Riding a horse into the palace was an honor that only Li Tianxin had in the entire Ming Dynasty. Anyone else would be executed, let alone riding a horse into the palace, or riding a horse in the palace privately.

Zhu Jianshen had not been to the imperial study room for a long time, but he knew that Li Tianxin would come to see him in the afternoon, so he counted the time and took Hua En to the imperial study room and jumped directly to the roof to wait for him.

Today's Zhu Jianshen, after several years of hard training in martial arts, is no longer so fat, but has become tall and strong.

After many generations of improvement, the genes of the old Zhu family are no different. Zhu Jianshen, who has lost weight, can be called a heroic warrior, a bit like a real "Ming Dynasty God of War".

Seeing Li Tianxin coming on horseback from afar, Zhu Jianshen had a smile on his face and waved to him.

When Li Tianxin saw this, he immediately flew up from his horse and turned into a parabola and flew towards the top of the imperial study.

When his ascending power was exhausted and he was about to fall, a stream of true energy erupted from the Yongquan point on the sole of his foot, which condensed into substance under his feet and formed a foothold.

Li Tianxin stepped into the air, and while retracting the true energy, he also generated a new force, and his body continued to fly forward without any sign of falling.

He had just mastered this move after getting up this morning, because a Taiyi soul-returning pill last night turned his true energy into liquid and condensed it into essence, thus undergoing a fundamental transformation.

Now his true energy is no longer invisible and qualitative, but can be condensed into water and can be seen by the naked eye.

He can now use something like the 40-meter sword in Fengyun World.

This ability to walk in the air is also a newly obtained ability after the true energy turns into liquid. Based on the characteristics of his internal strength, it is basically equivalent to flying.

Because his inner strength is infinite and will never be exhausted, he can always fly through the air without landing. What is this if not flying?
Li Tianxin flew over a distance of more than forty feet and landed lightly in front of Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen exclaimed: "Tianxin, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and you can already fly?"

Li Tianxin said hello to Wynn, then grinned and said proudly: "We just met yesterday."

"Yesterday?" Zhu Jianshen asked confused, "What happened yesterday?"

Li Tianxin said calmly: "Yesterday, someone finally sent me ginseng that is more than 300 years old. I have already practiced the Taiyi Soul-Reviving Pill. After taking one pill, my skill has improved to another level. From now on, the sky is high and the sky is wide, allowing me to fly." "

When Zhu Jianshen and Huai En heard this, their eyes lit up. Zhu Jianshen said ecstatically: "Have you mastered the Taiyi Soul-Returning Pill?"

"Good guy, yesterday the Korean envoy came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and brought an 800-year-old Korean ginseng. I was about to give it to you, but I didn't expect that you had already made the Taiyi soul-returning pill." Li Tianxin's eyes also lit up and he said happily: "800 Korean ginseng is a good thing. Even if you can’t make Taiyi Soul-returning Pill, you can still make some other good pills, such as the Great Return Pill.”

The 800-year-old Korean ginseng should have about the same effect as the 500-year-old wild ginseng. He happened to still have a piece of Jian Zhi, and Wan Zai Kong Qing also had several copies. This was another top-quality Taiyi soul-reviving pill.

Zhu Jianshen laughed and said, "Just take it, this book is just for you."

Li Tianxin patted his arm happily, then put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Come on, in addition to Taiyi Soul Resurrection Pill, I also brought you some other gifts this time."

Zhu Jianshen lowered his head and looked at the wooden box in his hand, with a look of anticipation on his face, and immediately jumped off the roof with him.

After entering the imperial study room, Li Tianxin placed the wooden box on the imperial desk and then opened it directly.

You can see that the wooden box is divided into three parts. In the middle is a firearm that is completely different from the old Ming Dynasty firecrackers. On the upper left is a small wooden box with bullets inside, and on the lower right are four jade bottles inserted side by side.

If there are future military fans here, they will recognize that firearm at a glance. It is the famous 98K.

Li Tianxin first took out the four jade bottles on the lower right side, put them on the imperial desk, and said to Zhu Jianshen: "I have refined nine Taiyi soul-returning pills. Yesterday, my wife and I took one each, and I will divide the rest." You four, do you have any opinions?"

Zhu Jianshen laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's already very interesting. What can I say?"

After saying that, he glanced at Wynn, who immediately stepped forward to put away the jade bottle and bowed to Li Tianxin.

Li Tianxin smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "But don't be in a hurry to take it. It's not cost-effective to take it now. You can arrange things and go to Fenyang to practice in retreat for a while with Duke Dai."

"Under the Zhu family's old house, there is an ice cellar made of thousand-year-old black ice. It can help you quickly break through the ninth level of Hunyuan Qi. Then you can go to the steel mill to break through the tenth level."

"It is most cost-effective to take elixirs after you have mastered Hunyuan Zhenqi, because the quality of Zhenqi you will get at that time is of the highest quality. By then, if you don't count Dai Gong, your martial arts will be among the top three in the world. .”

After the Hunyuan Zhenqi has been trained to the eighth level, it is necessary to train the Zhenqi to the state of extreme yin to cold, and the yin and yang are generated, so the environment of the Millennium Xuanbing Ice Cellar has a huge auxiliary effect.

After the ninth level, it is necessary to reverse the attributes of the true energy, and practice it to the state where the yang is the most hot, and the anode is yin. The steelmaking furnace in the steelmaking factory is also a good place for retreat.

When both are fully practiced, Hunyuan Zhenqi will reach the state where yin and yang are harmonious and Hunyuan is one, and this will be considered a great success.

After this cycle of yin and yang, all the meridians and acupoints throughout the body must have been connected and formed innately.

Zhu Jianshen was convinced that, not counting Dai Gong, he was the third, so the first and second place would naturally be Li Tianxin and his wife. He was very satisfied with this.

Li Tianxin is a peerless genius that is rare to see in a thousand years. His wife is also a martial artist. In terms of martial arts, she is naturally better than him, a monk who has become a monk on the way.

He is already lucky to be able to take advantage of Li Tianxin, become the third best martial artist in the world, and have the hope of immortality. How can he pursue more?

He can now be said to be the emperor with the highest martial arts, the richest internal treasury, and the strongest political achievements throughout the ages. The evaluation of "one emperor through the ages" in history books cannot be escaped.

People must learn to be content. Being too greedy will not end well.

Therefore, he did not hesitate at all and said decisively: "No problem. In your words, I am almost a mascot now, a symbol of the country. In terms of political affairs, it makes no difference whether I am or not."

"I will go to Fenyang for a retreat. After I get out of the retreat, I will go for a walk in the rivers and lakes. It will be treated as a private visit incognito."

In fact, what Li Tianxin said made him happy. After Shen Lang and others also took the Taiyi Soul Resurrection Pill, everyone except Zhu Qiqi would be stronger than him, and Bailing would not be weaker than him.

But knowing that he was the emperor, if Zhu Jianshen wanted to compete with them, they would naturally not be able to defeat him. No one would understand this point of human nature.

Li Tianxin nodded and said: "Private visits in private are fine, but the time shouldn't be too long, because the time has come to expand the territory. Not to mention the northern grasslands and pastures, it's time for the southern Xinjiang to be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Jianshen became energetic and asked excitedly: "Can we finally fight?"

Li Tianxin smiled and nodded: "Okay."

As he spoke, he took out the 98K gun from the wooden box and said to Zhu Jianshen: "This is the latest firecracker I made, but I call it a sniper rifle."

Zhu Jianshen asked with great interest: "What is the difference between this sniper rifle and the previous firecrackers?"

Li Tianxin said: "The difference is huge. In the past, the gunpowder had to be filled with gunpowder first, then the iron sand was put in, and finally it was ignited and fired."

"With this method, if you can fire it once for ten or twenty breaths, you are already considered a soldier with quick hands and feet, and the effective distance is only thirty feet, or at most fifty feet."

"The sniper rifle I created can be fired once in one breath if it moves quickly enough, and the range can reach two hundred feet."

"hiss……"

Zhu Jianshen took a deep breath and said in shock: "Are you sure it's two hundred feet? That's right?"

Li Tianxin said proudly: "This is a conservative statement from me."

Zhu Jianshen scratched his head and said, "But the human eye can barely see a target a hundred feet away. Even if it can hit a target two hundred feet away, what's the use?"

Li Tianxin said: "The factory is currently developing a sight that can zoom in on distant scenes several times, so that a target two hundred feet away can seem like it is dozens of feet away."

"Only when the scope is successfully manufactured can this thing be truly called a sniper rifle. Now it is just an ordinary rifle."

"In addition, I also want to build an automatic rifle that can fire dozens of rounds in one breath, but our current industrial level cannot keep up. This is why I want you to attack southern Xinjiang."

"With the current industrial level of Ming Dynasty, the output of rifles is not high enough, and it is not yet possible to install them on a large scale. Today, there are only a few hundred in the factory."

"But if used properly, these hundreds of rifles, combined with [-] regular troops, can defeat an army of [-] people."

Zhu Jianshen asked: "Is it because the industrial level cannot keep up because of the lack of rubber?"

Li Tianxin nodded and said: "Exactly, relying solely on steam machinery is too inefficient and cannot achieve assembly line production."

"So I have to push the era forward a little further, to reach the electrical age, which is to use electricity as an energy source."

"To develop the electrical industry, rubber is indispensable. You don't need to know the details, otherwise I won't be able to explain it clearly even if I talk about it for three days and nights."

To use electrical energy, you must rely on wires, and the wires must be wrapped in rubber. Otherwise, if you use exposed wires, you don't know how many people will be killed.

"Another one is that you have to increase the mining of tungsten ore. With the current mining volume, there will not be enough of it in the future."

The tungsten filament of electric lamps needs this thing, and the cutting tools of lathes, milling machines, and punches also use this thing, as well as various other functions, and the consumption is quite large.
