Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

"Quick, bring the medicine!"

"What's wrong with me?"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth, he found that his voice was very weak, even a little hoarse.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Rong burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, you have been sleeping for three days. I am so scared!"

Concubine Cheng put the spittoon on the ground, took Zhu Youxiao's hand, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

three days?

I'm going to...

That old man is so ungentlemanly!

It was just a few words, but three days have passed?

Liu Yue handed over a bowl of steaming medicine.

"Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly."

After drinking the medicine, Zhu Youxiao asked Liu Yue about his condition.

To put it bluntly, although he had taken over Apocalypse's body, the root cause of the illness that had caused him to fall into the water had not been eliminated.

He asked again with some concern.

"Now, can the root of my illness be cured?"

Liu Yue nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The teacher said that as long as Your Majesty survives this illness, there is no need to worry in the future."

This made Zhu Youxiao secretly relieved.

Damn, this old guy Zhang Jingyue is so awesome!

It seems that I have to reward them well after I return.

Through the window cracks, you can see snowflakes still falling outside.

It's been three days and the snow hasn't stopped.

Calculating the time, I won’t be able to go back to Beijing for the New Year.

After another two days of resting on the boat, Liu Yue finally allowed him to get out of bed and move around.

If you are afraid of death, you should listen to the doctor. There is nothing wrong with that.

The heavy snow finally stopped yesterday. When I opened the cabin door, I saw the Jinyiwei using tools to clear the snow on the deck.

The blizzard made it impossible for the fleet to sail, and it has been stuck there since the snow began.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and complained subconsciously.

"When will the Ming Dynasty's ships be able to break free from the constraints of sails and oars..."

When Sun Kangwang and You Tong, who were following behind him, heard this, their faces turned strange.

Seeing that the two did not respond to his words, Zhu Youxiao looked back curiously.

"What's with that look on your face, both of you?"

"Do you think what I said about a boat without sails and oars is just a pipe dream?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Kangwang's mouth twitched unnaturally.

And Yutong looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

The reactions of these two people made Zhu Youxiao a little confused.

"Where did I go wrong?"

Yutong finally couldn't help it and said, "Your Majesty, what you are talking about is a self-propelled boat, isn't it?"

"You fell into the water earlier because you were trying to build a self-propelled canoe in the back garden."

"Wooden bones, iron armor, and a fire bull on top."

"result......."

"As a result, the iron armor and fire bulls were too heavy, which led to the sinking of the ship..."

Zhu Youxiao:!!!

What is this guy talking about?

Iron armor, fire bulls, and self-propelled boats!

Isn’t this an ironclad steamship?

The Ming Dynasty had this thing?

After being stunned for a long while, he grabbed Youtong by the collar.

"I seem to have forgotten something in my mind."

"Tell me in detail what is going on with this self-propelled boat!"

Yutong was frightened by his rough action and hurriedly tried to comfort him with a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, please be patient. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you must not get angry in vain."

How could Zhu Youxiao remain calm!

This is a steam-powered ironclad ship!

Something that can change the world!

Without further ado, he dragged Youtong into the cabin, and after sending everyone else away, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Tell me in detail what is going on!"

Seeing how serious he was, Youtong had no choice but to tell him everything he knew.

And what he said made Zhu Youxiao feel unable to calm down for a long time!

It was hard for him to imagine that something like the steam engine actually had a history of nearly a hundred years in the Ming Dynasty!

As early as in the military book "Tang Jingchuan's Military Compilation" which was completed in the 38th year of Jiajing, there was a short poem about self-propelled boats.

A girl sat deeper in the water on a small boat, without the need for oars or sails.

He can cross the river quickly, and spray his anger at the attackers.

In addition, it was also mentioned in the "Dongguan Jishi" of the 23rd year of Wanli.

In order to build palaces and transport stones, land boats were built as a means of transportation.

For such a land boat, a well needs to be dug every mile to water the boat and provide drinking water.

At the same time, a sixteen-wheeled cart was built and pulled by 1,800 mules.

What does the land boat water do?

And do we need to dig a well every mile?

Drink to quench your thirst...

What kind of land boat can drink so much water?

and also!

What would it be like to have 1,800 mules pulling a cart?

The only reasonable explanation is that this vehicle has the strength of 1,800 mules!

A land boat and a sixteen-wheeled cart, put together, if this isn't the prototype of a train, what is it?

If these are true, then it seems that there is nothing wrong with Tianqi playing with the ironclad steamship in the harem.

Compared to personally being the foreman when rebuilding the three main halls, building an ironclad steamship by myself is child's play...

So, when Apocalypse fell into the water, was it someone who tampered with it, or was it the design problem of the ironclad ship that caused the ship to sink? This remains to be investigated...

Chapter 171 Made in DAMING

Zhu Youxiao actually didn't care how Tianqi died.

He had almost replaced all the officials in the court. Even if there was a mastermind behind this, his grave would have been dug up by now.

Therefore, what he was most concerned about was the problem of the steam engine!

If steam engines have existed for a long time, why haven't they become popular yet?

Why do later generations unanimously believe that the steam engine is a Western invention?

Could it be that it was plagiarized by those religious missionaries again?

But now he is in Hong Kong, and these problems can only be investigated after he returns to Beijing.

Looking at Zhu Youxiao who fell into deep thought after listening to his story, Youtong stood aside with his head down, not daring to breathe.

Just then, Sun Kangwang's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Portuguese Governor Luo Bao and Xiangshan County Magistrate Su Zhe request to see you!"

Zhu Youxiao was awakened from his deep thoughts by this voice, and he looked at Youtong with some confusion.

"How do they know I'm here?"

Yutong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, on the day you fainted, Basil sent people to leave by land, saying that Your Majesty is so noble that they should ask their governor to come and see you."

"And he also said that their governor has a medicine that can bring the dead back to life."

"Then let them in."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, straightened his clothes, and sat in a chair waiting.

Soon, Sun Kangwang led the two into the cabin.

"Your Majesty, I am Su Zhe, the magistrate of Xiangshan County!"

"Your Majesty, D.Filipe Lobo, on behalf of the Portuguese royal family and the Portuguese Royal Navy, sends his greetings to you. I am glad to see that you have recovered."

The two of them knelt respectfully three meters away from Zhu Youxiao, especially Narobao, who looked so pious without any sign of affectation.

The kneeling gesture was even more standard than Su Zhe's.

"No gifts, please give me a seat!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.

After they both sat down, he said with a smile.

"I am very pleased that you can still come here in the snow on a day like this."

Su Zhe raised his butt slightly and saluted: "Your Majesty has arrived, and I will welcome you from afar."

Luo Bao took out a silver box from his arms, held it in both hands, and began to speak.

"Your Majesty, this is the life-saving pill that the king gave me when I came out."

"I heard that you were not feeling well a few days ago, so I am offering this to you."

Yutong took the medicine, but when he opened the box and took a look, he was stunned and his expression looked very surprised.

Zhu Youxiao asked subconsciously: "What's wrong?"

Yutong hurriedly brought the medicine over: "Your Majesty, why do I feel that this thing is somewhat similar to Pian Zai Huang?"

Zhu Youxiao:........

Looking at the small rice dumpling-colored dumplings in the box, he was also speechless.

He was not sure whether this was Pian Zai Huang, but what he was sure of was that this thing was definitely not produced in Portugal!

That strong aroma of traditional Chinese medicine, definitely made in DAMING!

"Give it to Liu Yue. She should know it."

The history of Pian Zai Huang can be traced back to the Jiajing period, when an imperial physician fled with the prescription, causing the medicine to circulate among the people.

It is not surprising that Portugal has this medicine after so many years in Macau.

It's just that these guys actually said that Pien Tze Huang is a panacea that can bring the dead back to life, just...
