Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

After Wu Zhen walked out, Sun Chuanting looked at the letter on the table, smiled sarcastically, and then put it away.

The night is dark and the moon is like a hook.At this time, the city of Kaifeng was silent, except for the footsteps of soldiers patrolling the city.

In the dark city of Kaifeng, soldiers patrolling every street.

However, these soldiers patrolling the city can only patrol the streets, and cannot trespass on private houses.

In a small alley in the west of Kaifeng Fucheng, a house in a courtyard was lit with lights.

More than a dozen big men crowded into the house, making the room seem extremely crowded.

In the middle of the room stood a table with an oil lamp burning on it.

A big man with a black face was sitting on the north side of the table. He looked at the men sitting beside the table and the men standing around the table, and lowered his voice, "Did you see what happened this afternoon? King Zhou actually provided Sun Chuanting with a lot of supplies. These materials will definitely be used by Sun Chuanting to defend the city.

This will probably have a certain impact on the adult's capture of Kaifeng Mansion. "

As soon as he said this, a young man sitting opposite him yelled, "Hehe, Sun Tou, I didn't mean you, why are you so timid now? It's just Sun Chuanting and the others, it's not that I look down on them, even if they will All the materials in the city were taken out, but they couldn't stop the cannons of the adults.

I don’t need to tell you how powerful your lord’s cannons are. If dozens of cannons come down, which city wall can stop them?Even with King Zhou's support, Kaifeng Mansion is no match for your lord. "

These people are the spies Zhao Wen arranged in Kaifeng Mansion, mainly to investigate the movement of Kaifeng Mansion and collect news.

This afternoon, there was a lot of commotion when Wu Zhen led people to pull supplies from Zhou Wangfu, and of course it couldn't be hidden from the eyes of these people.

"What do you know?" The black-faced man frowned and scolded, "Slow down your voice, the streets outside are full of Sun Chuanting's men and horses, do you want to recruit all of them?"

The black-faced man is called Sun Hao, the leader of this group, and is usually called Sun Tou by his subordinates.

The young man hastily shut his mouth.

"Although that's what I said, there is nothing that can stop your lord's weapons in the territory of Da Ming. However, you can't ignore these things just because your lord's weapons are powerful.

As the saying goes, a proud soldier is bound to lose.Adults often warn us to be careful and serious in everything, and not to look down on anyone just because of our own strength. "Sun Hao persuaded a few times, and said: "Let's find a way to send this news out of the city in time, and give it to your lord. "

"However, since Sun Chuanting entered Kaifeng, he has strictly guarded the city gates. We tried it a few days ago, but we couldn't get out. We can't even get out of the city. How can we send the news to the adults?" The young man looked depressed, Look at Sun Hao.

After Sun Chuanting entered Kaifeng Mansion, he had people block Kaifeng Mansion.

The reason why Sun Chuanting did this was because he was afraid of being infiltrated by Zhao Wen's spies.

But he didn't know that Zhao Wen's spies had sneaked into Kaifeng Mansion a long time ago.

"Otherwise, what does the Commander-in-Chief want us to do? The Commander-in-Chief gives us so much money every year, is it for nothing?" Sun Hao frowned and said fiercely: "You all think about it, Can't figure it out and don't sleep."

When the people in the room heard this, they began to think sadly.

"Think about it here first, I'll go out and have a look." Sun Hao said to the people in the room, and then walked out of the room.

He came to the back of the gate, put his right hand on the big black star pinned to his waist, and looked out through the crack of the door.

A group of soldiers and horses patrolling the city walked past the gate, and the sound of their footsteps echoed in Sun Hao's ears.

When the soldiers and horses patrolling the city were gone, Sun Hao spat thick phlegm on the ground, "It's really bad luck."

……

The next day, the sun jumped out of the horizon, and the earth woke up.

The grass on the wasteland is growing desperately in the sunlight, and the dewdrops on the leaves reflect the sunlight. If you look carefully, you can see the reflected rainbow.

Unfortunately, this beautiful scene disappeared after a short time.

A horse's hoof stepped on the grass, driving it into the dirt.

The dew on the blades of grass soon fell to the ground, and together with other dew that fell on the ground, wet the ground.

Zhao Wen rode a war horse on the wasteland, and the hooves of the war horse under his crotch were wet and covered with dew.

Chapter 624 Successful Manufacturing of Electric Lamps

Zhao Wen rode on a war horse, leading the soldiers and horses under his command to gallop non-stop towards Kaifeng Mansion.

The horseshoes of the war horse stepped on the wilderness, and the green grass on the wilderness was trampled into the soil by the war horse.

The morning sun was not so dazzling. Under the morning breeze, Zhao Wen's army marched in the wilderness.

"My lord, General Song sent a messenger over just now. He said that there are some defenders in Xingyang, and there are still many people in the city, but the gentry and officials were almost taken away by Sun Chuanting.

At the same time, the people in the city have been hungry for a long time.The food in the city was either taken away by Sun Chuanting or burned by Sun Chuanting.

At noon yesterday, Xingyang had been captured by General Song.Xingyang has now fallen into our hands. The defenders in Xingyang City have been captured by General Song, leaving about fifty people to guard these prisoners.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, General Song kept a part of the military rations in his hands. "

Li Xiaosan followed Zhao Wen, speaking word by word.

Zhao Wen looked at the wilderness in front of him and said calmly, "I thought Sun Chuanting was planning to drive away all the defenders and civilians in all the county towns, but I didn't expect to keep some."

"My lord, it may be that Sun Chuanting feels that these people cannot be let go in Kaifeng Prefecture." Li Xiaosan said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, and order the whole army to speed up."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he flicked the whip in his hand and controlled the horse to move forward.

The distance between Zhao Wen and Xingyang was getting shorter and shorter. At noon, Zhao Wen finally arrived in Xingyang.

Zhao Wen looked at Xingyang City in front of him, and rode forward on his horse.

The defenders left by Song Hu on the top of the city saw Zhao Wen's banner, jumped down from the city wall and opened the city gate.

After a while, Zhao Wen's army entered Xingyang City.

Zhao Wen rode on a war horse and shuttled through the streets of the city.

A large number of people gathered on both sides of the street. These people looked at Zhao Wen and Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses with panic on their faces.

If Song Hu hadn't given them some food before, I'm afraid these people would have gone to nowhere when they saw Zhao Wen.

The people on both sides of the street were in ragged clothes, and their clothes were so dark that they couldn't see their original appearance.

The faces of the people in the city are covered with dirt, and the hair on their heads is filthy and dusty, with lice and fleas dancing on them.

There are countless fertile fields in Henan. In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people lived in peace.

But as the number of vassal kings and gentry increased, the land in the hands of Henan people became less and less.

In this era of lack of pesticides and fertilizers, if you want to feed a family, you must cultivate a lot of land.

And the land in the hands of the people was taken away by the vassal kings and gentry, so it was not so easy to have a full stomach.

"I have seen Mr. Chief Soldier!"

A general with the appearance of a hundred households appeared in front of Zhao Wen. He looked at Zhao Wen who was slowly approaching, saluted hurriedly, and then greeted him.

"My lord, in the past few days we have counted the number of people in the county, and there are almost 2 people, men, women, old and young.

But all the food in the city was taken away by Sun Chuanting before, and the city has been out of food for several days.

It is estimated that the food sent by General Song will not last for a few days. "

The hundred households walked to Zhao Wen's side, looked at Zhao Wen on the horse, and said.

Zhao Wen didn't answer, but looked at Li Xiaosan, "Let the army speed up, and let the soldiers and horses escorting Zizhong's grain and grass enter the city quickly. After entering the city, take out some of the grain we seized from King Fu and distribute it To the people of Xingyang."

Li Xiaosan hurriedly followed Zhao Wen's order.

After half an hour, all Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses entered Xingyang City.

Under Zhao Wen's arrangement, Li Xiaosan also hastily followed Zhao Wen's instructions to take some of the grain seized from King Fu and distribute it to the local people.

Because Song Hu also distributed military rations before, the people in Xingyang City did not have much reaction.

Zhao Wen was stationed in the county government office in Xingyang City. Because the Ming Dynasty had a tradition of officials not repairing government offices, the government offices in Xingyang City looked very dilapidated.

Zhao Wen sat in the hall of the yamen, the chair under him creaked non-stop.

The hundred households left behind by Song Hu stood beside Zhao Wen, reporting something related to Xingyang.

"My lord, there are less than 100 defenders in Xingyang. When we arrived at the city of Xingyang, the defenders in the city did not dare to resist and surrendered directly." The hundred households left behind by Song Hu said.

Zhao Wen chuckled and said: "It is a good thing to be able to take Xingyang City without bloodshed, although with our strength, it is not difficult to take Xingyang City.

You will hand over the captives in the city later. After handing over, take your men and horses, go get some food and supplies, and then chase Song Hu. "

"Obey!" The hundred households saluted Zhao Wen, and then retreated.

When the sun was setting on the western mountain, Li Xiaosan brought some soldiers to the county government office.

Li Xiaosan held a letter in his hand, and he came from Xuanzhen.

At this time, Zhao Wen was sitting in the study, perfecting the rules and regulations that had not been completed before.

Although the drawings and the manufacturing manual of the wood-burning car were produced, no one except Zhao Wen could drive this car, so Zhao Wen had to write an operation manual.

Li Xiaosan stood at the door of the study and knocked on the people in the study, "My lord, there is a letter from Xuanzhen, and it was sent by Mr. Song."

"Mr. Song? Song Yingxing?" Zhao Wen put down the brush in his hand and looked towards the door, "Come in, the door is unlocked."

Li Xiaosan pushed the door in and put the letter in his hand on the table in front of Zhao Wen, "My lord, this letter was sent by Mr. Song, saying that the light bulb has been successfully manufactured, and several factories for making light bulbs have been established." assembly line."

When Zhao Wen heard this, he became excited instantly. He hurriedly picked up the letter on the table, checked the seal, and opened it.

Zhao Wen's eyes kept scanning the letter. After a while, Zhao Wen slapped the letter in his hand on the table and stood up excitedly.

"Haha!" Zhao Wen laughed loudly, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the electric light bulb was manufactured so quickly, it was beyond my expectations. The lessons I gave Song Yingxing before were not in vain, really not in vain. "

Zhao Wen laughed excitedly.

"My lord, is this light bulb the kind of lighting device you mentioned earlier that doesn't use candles?" Li Xiaosan looked at Zhao Wen.

"That's right, it's that kind of lighting device. Now that the light bulb has been manufactured, it will be installed in every corner of Xuan Town.

In this way, factories in Xuanzhen can work at night, and tax revenue will increase accordingly.

Nowadays, for safety reasons, trains generally do not run at night, but with light bulbs, trains can run even at night.The transportation capacity of the train will be greatly increased, and the distance from Xuanzhen to Taiyuan will be reduced a lot. Zhao Wen kept explaining, the smile on his face never disappeared from the beginning to the end.

To a certain extent, the importance of light bulbs is not inferior to things like cement glass. Although they are not comparable to steam engines, they are still comparable to cement glass.

Light bulbs can liberate people from the darkness and greatly improve the efficiency and speed of labor?

And it will also reduce the occurrence of fire to some extent.

In this era dominated by wooden structures, lighting tools such as candles can easily cause fires.

With things like light bulbs, you can greatly reduce the occurrence of fires.

Zhao Wen sat down, took out a piece of rice paper, and started writing.

What Zhao Wen wrote was a letter commending Song Yingxing. Although Zhao Wen provided the blueprint and production process of the light bulb, Song Yingxing also spent a lot of effort in manufacturing it, so he should be rewarded when the award is due.

After a while, Zhao Wen finished writing the letter, put his seal on it, and sealed it.

Zhao Wen originally wanted to hand it over to Li Xiaosan now and let Li Xiaosan send someone to Xuanzhen, but now the firewood cars and other things have not been completely completed, so Zhao Wen temporarily left the letter of commendation, and waited until all the things were completed. After everything is completed, send it to Xuanzhen.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Wen handed over all the finished things to Li Xiaosan, "You send someone to send all these things to Xuanzhen and hand them over to Song Yingxing. Remember, these things are very important, not even important. Next to the train, there must be no mistakes."

Li Xiaosan took the things that Zhao Wen put into a wooden box, and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely let these things reach Xuanzhen safely, and hand them over to Mr. Song safely."

After Li Xiaosan finished speaking, he took these things and walked out.

A moment later, more than a dozen war horses galloped in the direction of Xuanzhen.

……

"Teacher, the light bulb we made before is still on. It has been on for several days, and it has been on. It is much brighter than a candle."

In the yard of a building complex next to the ironworks, a young man about 20 years old looked at Song Yingxing who was sitting in the yard and was writing something, and said excitedly.

Song Yingxing put down the brush in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is something designed by the Chief Soldier, can it be bad? Which of the things designed by the Chief Soldier is not good?"

"That's true!" The young man nodded.

"Don't hang around here, go to the laboratory and stare at the light bulb to see how long it lasts.

Now the assembly line for building light bulbs is almost completed, and the power plant is also under construction. As a teacher, I have been very busy these days. "

Song Yingxing said, then stood up, put all the things on the table into the basket on the ground, and then handed them to his students, "Send these things to the file room and seal them up. Without my order, no Anyone can open it.

The teacher is going to visit the power plant under construction now, and it is about to be completed in the past few days, and the teacher is going to inspect it.

Go ask your senior brother Li and the others to come over and accompany you as a teacher. "
