Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 625 Secret Base
In fact, everyone is a blank sheet of paper when they are born, and all life trajectories are drawn later.

The rebellions of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong both occurred in the last years of Tianqi, when natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, which gave them the opportunity to rebel.

But everything has changed now. Ye Xun took advantage of the traversers to pay more attention to some places where rebellions occurred in history. He gave great support to areas with difficult conditions like Gansu and Shanxi. Now Although I dare not say that the local people will be completely prosperous, but I will never take risks because of hunger.

In addition, with the beginning of Ye Xun's western layout, the lives of the people in Gansu and Shanxi will only get better and better.

Originally, after the inspection in Hanzhong, Ye Xun was going to detour from Lanzhou to Chahanhot and finally return to the capital. Now that the envoys of the Mughal Kingdom came, he had to meet them first before leaving.

Another reason why Ye Xun did not continue to travel north was a Dutchman named Da Vinci in the prisoner-of-war camp.

You must know that Ye Xun's arrest of these Westerners is not just for them to be reformed through labor. For those who have knowledge and can make contributions to Daming, they will not only be released from the status of prisoners of war, but will even be given special treatment, except that they cannot leave the territory of Daming , everything will be treated as a member of the Ming court.

This Mr. Da Vinci provided the Ming army with the further purification technology of fierce fire oil.

The so-called fierce fire oil, that is, crudely processed oil, was already used by the Tang army in military affairs as early as the Tang Dynasty, and it was gradually replaced only because of the large-scale application of gunpowder.

But the ancients may not have cared about it, but Ye Xun was well aware of the benefits of this thing, and the fierce fire oil refined by Da Vinci is already very close to the gasoline of later generations.

In fact, Ye Xun has known for a long time that Sichuan is rich in products, not only oil, but also natural gas reserves are very rich, but it is limited by the level of technology and cannot be developed and utilized on a large scale.

Da Vinci's innovation can also be regarded as a reminder to Ye Xun that Hanzhong not only needs to build another arsenal, but also establishes a secret scientific research base, not only to develop weapons, but also to launch some other technologies for later generations in advance.

Technology is advancing, and neighboring countries can defend against it for a while, but not for a lifetime. Only by constantly innovating can they stay ahead.

After teaching Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Ye Xun took them to the secret base in the valley outside the city.

Although it didn’t take long to start, the valley has begun to take shape. The houses are patchwork and the roads are wide and flat. After four checkpoints, interrogation and inspection.

This is Ye Xun's death order, so even he is no exception.

It was the first time for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to come here, and they couldn't help being surprised when they saw that most of them were Westerners with big noses and white skin who were busy there. Are there so many foreign devils?

The leader of the secret base is Ye Xun, a guard named Zhang Danian. Ye Xun is not at ease if such an important place is handed over to others!
After Zhang Danian welcomed Ye Xun and his party in, he reported to Ye Xun while walking.

"Elder-in-law, according to your instructions, the arsenal is located in the innermost part. In addition to the four checkpoints you just passed, there are two gates, one light and one dark, when entering the arsenal."

"Elder-in-law is really a man of God. According to your instructions, when I said this in the prisoner-of-war camp, there was an endless stream of people who signed up, but what they said was a bit weird. Apart from those who knew about firearms, there were What blacksmiths, who can grind stones, and there are people who say they can make crystals out of stones.”

"Don't blame me, father-in-law. I have told you so much, but I feel that I can't trust these people too much. Everyone knows that the prisoner-of-war camps are hard and tiring. I guess they want to use this method to fool around."

Zhang Danian is also a veteran who has followed Ye Xun since Liaodong, and he is cautious, and it is exactly this in Ye Xun's eyes.

After hearing what he said, Ye Xun nodded and said, "Your concerns are right. There must be many people who have this kind of thinking, but it doesn't matter, just screen slowly. If you find those who are fake, you will be taken directly to prisoners of war." The battalion has been cut down, let those foreign devils know what will happen to them when they lie to us.”

"But don't be too anxious. After all, some new things cannot be realized in a short while, and in some respects, the craftsmanship of the foreign devils is indeed ahead of us. We must catch up as soon as possible. For those who can tinker with new things The foreign devils who play tricks should also be generously rewarded, so as to stimulate their enthusiasm."

Ye Xun is very clear that in terms of forging, Westerners have indeed begun to take the lead, and as far as he knows, the main component of glass seems to be stone, and once this thing is developed, it will bring huge economic benefits to Daming. Even if it is not exported to foreign countries, even if Daming domestically digests it, it still has unlimited potential.

The base has just been built, and some supporting facilities are not yet complete. It is obviously unrealistic to tinker with things immediately.

Ye Xun ordered Da Vinci and some foreign devil technicians to be called over. He didn't have much time, so he could only learn as much as possible about their ideas.

The roads in the valley are all paved with bluestone or crushed stone mixed with loess. Before the technicians arrived, Ye Xun suddenly had another idea. Since that guy said he could tinker with glass, could he also Can you develop cement?With that thing, not to mention building roads, the speed of building houses will be greatly improved.

In a short time, more than a dozen foreign devils were brought to Ye Xun. The military uniforms of these people or the clothing of their country had long been worn out from work, and now they have uniformly changed into the military uniforms of the Ming army. Neat, just let some blond foreign devils wear Chinese clothes, no matter how you look at it, it looks a bit nondescript.

Da Vinci was a big, bald man. Ye Xun thought of Da Vinci in the Xingye movie, and looked at the guy in front of him, and finally couldn't help laughing.

But Ye Xun reacted quickly, and a smile appeared, which immediately turned into He Xi's smile instead of a sneer.

"Everyone, we can be regarded as old acquaintances. I would like to thank you for your contributions to my Ming Dynasty. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. If you can help, I will definitely do my best."

Da Vinci grew up a little anxious. In fact, he was not yet forty. He was one of the first to be captured along with pirate ships. He was in charge of weapon management and maintenance when he was on board. Now he is brought here. Although his life has improved, he He has never felt at ease, because his home is not here.

The scene of Eunuch Ye shelling those Japanese pirates and pirates at sea is still vivid, so even though Ye Xun's face is amiable, Da Vinci still dare not be a little presumptuous.

After Ye Xun finished speaking, he whispered: "Honorable Eunuch Ye, for God's sake, can you bring our family?".
