Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

The student took the basket from Song Yingxing, saluted, and then hurried out with the basket.

Song Yingxing is now the head of the Ministry of Industry and Research Institute.

Zhao Wen also specially asked someone to build a very large yard for him, so that he could study these things carefully.

Song Yingxing also lived up to Zhao Wen. After serving as a research institute, he manufactured the light bulb.

Not long after, seven or eight young people aged 27 or [-] stood in front of Song Yingxing.

"teacher!"

These people looked at Song Yingxing and bowed in salute.

Song Yingxing nodded and said, "Let's go, accompany Master to the power plant."

After Song Yingxing finished speaking, he walked outside.

His students hurriedly followed behind him.

When Song Yingxing walked out of the gate of the research institute, the soldiers patrolling outside the gate saw him, stopped hurriedly, and saluted Song Yingxing.

Song Yingxing waved his hand back and saluted, then got on a tricycle rolled out by his students from the research institute, and headed for the distance.

The research institute is said to be the most important place in Xuan Town today. Around the research institute, there are a large number of soldiers and horses with live ammunition to protect them.

These soldiers and horses were on the bright side, and some were in the dark. Except for Song Yingxing and his students, other people were forbidden to enter and exit, unless they had a special pass.

If not, you are not allowed to enter. If you force your way, no matter who it is, the defenders have the right to shoot directly.

Song Yingxing sat on a tricycle and was led by one of his students.

Around the tricycle, other students followed Song Yingxing on bicycles.

Tricycles can be used not only to pull goods, but also to transport people.

It was almost two or three kilometers away from the research institute to the power plant under construction. Song Yingxing and the others arrived at the construction site of the power plant after walking for a short time.

Today's power plant is still a huge construction site, full of busy workers.

Power plants are still a high-tech existence in this era, so when Song Yingxing asked people to build power plants, they did not use captives, but specialized craftsmen.

Zhao Wen had given Song Yingxing the blueprint of the power plant before, so there was no difficulty in building it.

Song Yingxing jumped off the tricycle and came to the gate of the construction site.

Looking at the busy construction site, he took a deep breath and showed a gratified smile on his face.

In another ten or so days, the power plant will be completely completed, and the generator can be assembled by then.

Once the power plant is complete, laying of the wiring begins.

"Adults once said that if placed outdoors, the wires that transmit electricity can be exposed and do not need to be wrapped with insulating materials.

However, the wires entering the room must be wrapped with insulating materials.Now that the palace is also under construction, the palace must be the first to use electric lights for lighting, so the newly produced insulated wires must be installed in the palace first. "

Song Yingxing looked at the construction site in front of him, his face was full of excitement.

After receiving various advice from Zhao Wen, Song Yingxing also manufactured insulated wires.

Because there is no rubber, Song Yingxing wrapped the copper wire with sackcloth soaked in tung oil.

Since there is no aluminum, the wires are just copper wires.

Because the insulation of linen is not as good as that of rubber, when producing wires, they are wrapped in thick linen.

Every time a layer of linen is wrapped, it is brushed with a large lacquer. After drying, it is wrapped with a layer of linen, and after wrapping, it is painted with a large layer of lacquer.

By analogy, the wires have been wrapped airtight.

In this way, the time to manufacture the wire will rise a lot.

But there is no way to do this. After all, there is no rubber now, so this kind of soil method can only be used.

"Teacher, it is estimated that when the commander-in-chief returns home in triumph, the palace will be completed, and our electric lights will be spread all over the streets and alleys." A student looked at Song Yingxing.

"At that time, according to what Master Zongbing said, install electric lights all over Xuan Town, and at that time, Xuan Town will also be lit at night.

Electric lights are also installed in the factory, so that work can be started at night, and there are also trains. Song Yingxing looked at the busy construction site in front of him, his face was full of anticipation.

……

After Zhao Wen led the army out of Xingyang, he led the army eastward and entered the territory of Heyin County within a day.

Heyin is not far from Xingyang, and Zhao Wen entered Heyin that afternoon.

The situation in Heyin was similar to that in Xingyang. Except for the common people, the remaining officials and gentry were basically sent to Kaifeng by Sun Chuanting.

The food in Heyin City was either taken away by Sun Chuanting or burned by Sun Chuanting, and almost nothing remained.

After Zhao Wen entered Heyin, the first thing he did was to take some of the grain seized from King Fu and distribute it to the people of Heyin.

Now that Zhao Wen's situation is getting bigger and bigger, it is also fortunate that King Fu has a lot of food, otherwise Zhao Wen would really be difficult to deal with this kind of thing for a while.

At this time, Song Hu led the troops to the vicinity of Zhengzhou City.

Zhengzhou in this era is not the provincial capital of later generations, but an ordinary county seat, which is almost indistinguishable from other counties in Henan.

The number of people in Zhengzhou City is not very large, which is similar to the number of people in Xingyang City before.

The situation in Zhengzhou was similar to that in Xingyang. Sun Chuanting took away the defenders and gentry, leaving only ordinary people without food.

Song Hu did not lead troops into Zhengzhou City, but divided his troops into two parts, crossed Zhengzhou, and headed for Kaifeng Mansion.

Song Hu's cavalry galloped across the land of the Central Plains, as if they were entering and leaving no one's land.

Sun Chuanting stayed near Zhengzhou, and the soldiers and horses who searched for the news quickly discovered Song Hu's movement.

After they discovered the movement of Song Hu's soldiers and horses, they hurriedly stepped on their horses, took the remote and uninhabited path, and sent the news to Kaifeng Fucheng.

After almost two days and one night, the news finally reached Kaifeng Mansion.

Because they are taking a remote and uninhabited path, it will take a lot longer.

When Sun Chuanting received the news sent back, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and stayed directly on the city wall.

Now Sun Chuanting is staying in Qiangshang, arranging manpower to thicken and heighten the city wall.

"We've already arrived in Zhengzhou, how could it be so fast?" Sun Chuanting stared blankly at the military report that Wu Sheng had just sent, with a look of disbelief on his face.

He really did not expect that Zhao Wen's speed would be so fast.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Standing opposite Sun Chuanting, Wu Chen asked anxiously.

Although he didn't read the military newspaper, but based on the expression on Sun Chuanting's face now, Wu Zhen could also know that the content of this military newspaper was not good news.

Sun Chuanting's face turned pale, and he gathered the military newspaper in his hand into a ball, "What else can I do? Then strengthen the city wall and tell the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture to mobilize the people in the city to reinforce and thicken the city wall for me.

Zhao thief's weapons are powerful, so he must use sacks to thicken the city wall. Only when the city wall is thick enough can it block Zhao thief's weapon. "

Because of the short time, Sun Chuanting could only ask people to use sacks filled with soil or city wall bricks to reinforce the city wall.

"At the same time, tell the gentry I brought back that they also have to pay for people, otherwise, if the city of Kaifeng is captured by the Zhao bandits, they will not survive." Sun Chuanting finally yelled at Wu Zhen.

Wu Xuan hurriedly rushed down the city wall with Sun Chuanting's order and a few followers.

Sun Chuanting set his eyes on the west, his face was gloomy.

After a while, he looked away, looked at the laborers who were working on the city wall, and shouted loudly, "Hurry up, Bandit Zhao has arrived in Zhengzhou, and it won't be long before Bandit Zhao's soldiers and horses will arrive in Kaifeng Prefecture."

When the city wall was lowered, Sun Hao and his subordinates were also moving bricks and tiles.

The reason why Sun Hao did this was not that he wanted to help Sun Chuanting, but that he wanted to find an opportunity to sneak out of the city and inform Zhao Wen of the current situation in Kaifeng Mansion.

However, today's Kaifeng mansion is almost impenetrable under the control of Sun Chuanting, and Sun Hao has no way to leave the city at all.

"Sun, what should we do now?" A young man looked at Sun Hao who was walking in front of him, holding a brick of the city wall, and asked in a low voice.

Sun Hao looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and replied in a low voice: "What should I do? What else can I do? Of course, I have to endure it first. Sun Chuanting has locked the gates of the city tightly, and we can't get out. Let's see when Let’s talk when we can leave the city.”

After Sun Hao finished speaking, he pretended to move the city wall bricks and walked forward.

Not long after, Wu Tong returned to Sun Chuanting's side.

"My lord, the arrangements have been made. The magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture has already led the people in the yamen to act. As for the gentry brought back, a considerable part of them are unwilling to pay money and people." Wu Zhen replied.

"No money? There are ways to deal with them. Let's strengthen the city wall first. As for these things, we will talk about them at night." Sun Chuanting walked along the city wall as he spoke.

Wu Xuan hurriedly followed, "My lord, do we need to widen and deepen the moat outside the city? Do we need to reinforce the outside of the city wall with sacks filled with soil?"

Wu Zhen walked behind Sun Chuanting and asked.

Sun Chuanting didn't look back, and walked straight forward, "Do you think it's useful to widen the moat or not? Zhao's artillery can hit several miles away, so what's the use of a small moat?

Is it possible to widen the moat to a distance of more than ten miles?As for whether the outside of the city wall needs to be widened, I think this is still necessary.

If the city wall were to face the artillery directly, the bricks outside the city wall would be blasted to pieces in a short time.Regardless of whether it can stop the artillery after reinforcement, at least it will have some effect. "

Sun Chuanting stopped here, turned around, and looked at Wu Zhen, "Take two hundred soldiers and horses, and some laborers out of the city, and widen the walls outside the city."

Wu Zhen took the order to leave, and a quarter of an hour later, Wu Zhen walked out of the city gate with [-] soldiers and [-] laborers.

Among these workers, there are people like Sun Hao.

Sun Hao stood among the crowd of laborers, his eyes were like thieves, and he kept looking around.

Wu Xuan led the soldiers and horses to the forefront. When everyone walked out of the city gate, the city gate behind them closed.

The reason why the city gate is closed is also for safety reasons.

Wu Zhen gathered the laborers in front of the city gate. Looking at the laborers in front of him, he shouted: "Now you strengthen the western city wall. During the few days when you strengthen the city wall, you can't go back. As for food and other things , Someone will put it down directly from the city wall with a hanging basket.

This is also for safety reasons, as long as the city wall is reinforced, you can enter the city. "

"When strengthening the city walls, whoever does a good job will be rewarded. The king of Zhou provided a lot of supplies to the adults, so you don't have to worry about rewards.

Now, listen to my arrangement.Remember, when strengthening the city walls, don't even think about running away. If anyone runs away, he will be punished as collaborating with the enemy. Don't blame me for being rude. "

After a few threats, Wu Tong began to make arrangements.

Two quarters of an hour later, under the guard of the soldiers, these laborers began to put the soil outside the moat into sacks, and then put it on the base of the city wall.

Although Sun Chuanting did not allow the moat to be widened, he also widened the moat along the way when digging soil to strengthen the city wall.

Sun Haozai carried a sack full of soil and walked across the suspension bridge over the moat. On the suspension bridge over the moat stood several soldiers holding spears. These soldiers kept scanning the laborers.

Sun Hao looked at these soldiers, his eyes were shining brightly.

Behind him are his men, who are also carrying sacks of dirt.

Sun Hao came to the base of the city wall, threw the sack on his shoulders on the base of the city wall, then patted the dust off his body, took an empty sack, and walked out of the moat.

His subordinates hurriedly followed, and when they came to the digging place, Sun Hao opened the empty sack and put it on the ground.

One of his men picked up the shovel stuck in the ground and began to fill it with soil.

"What should we do?" When loading the soil, his subordinate asked cautiously.

His other subordinates also took the opportunity to come to his side.

Sun Hao looked at the defenders all around, and when he saw that they were not looking this way, he whispered: "These defenders look too deadly, let's find a way to divert their attention.

How about this, monkey, second dog, third grandson, Huang Pizi, you guys pretended to bump into each other accidentally, and then took the opportunity to fight to attract the attention of these defenders. I took the opportunity to escape together. There are many people who escape, and there are always a few who can spread the news. "

"Is this okay?" Those people whose names were called by Sun Hao looked at Sun Hao with doubts on their faces.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Sun Hao said.

"What are you guys doing?" At this moment, a loud voice rang out, and a soldier noticed them and walked over, waving a whip in his hand.

Sun Hao hurriedly turned around and said with a sneer: "It's nothing, nothing!"

"Be careful, if Zhao's army of thieves comes this time, if you delay the reinforcement of the city wall, then don't blame me for beheading your heads to sacrifice the flag." The soldier who came over flicked the whip in his hand, A crackling sound threatened fiercely.

Sun Hao smirked and hurriedly apologized, "It's nothing. It's really nothing."

"Hmph!" Seeing Sun Hao subdued, the soldier snorted coldly, and then looked elsewhere.

Sun Hao saw that the soldiers turned away, looked at the people he had just read, and winked at them.

These people nodded understandingly.
