Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 341: Mysteries about the invention of the steam engine

The term "The Fire Ship Departs" comes from a record in the book "Pictures of Strange Weapons" written by Wang Zheng, a famous scholar in the late Ming Dynasty.

Specifically, it refers to a boat that uses fire as a power source to move on the water by itself without sails or oars.

I was surprised for a moment!

In the eyes of people at the time, the matter of the fire ship's departure was naturally a bit mysterious.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is simply a steam engine.

Using fire to drive a ship to move on its own is not the same as burning water to drive a steamship to move?

In other words, long before the steam engine was invented in the West, there was already a steam engine in the Ming Dynasty.

At the very least, it was a prototype of a steam engine.

Facts have proved that Western steam engine technology was most likely stolen from China and then brought back for improvement.

In addition to the fact that the fire ship went away, there is actually another thing that proves that China invented the steam engine earlier than the West.

That was in 1672 AD, the missionary Nan Huairen used steam engine technology to build a steam engine car and presented it to Kang Mazi as a gift.

To put it bluntly, are you a liar?

This original steam engine car was still treasured in the Palace Museum until later generations!

This is double authentication by physical evidence and historical records.

It was not until 1,700 years later, exactly seven years after a missionary saw the same technology in the East, that it was invented and reproduced by Westerners.

Therefore, it is not without reason that Western pseudo-historical theory is so popular.

Either Nan Huairen has super powers and can travel through history.

According to the West's own records, the prototype of the steam engine was built by a scientist named Dennis Papen in 1679.

As for why after the Chinese invented the steam engine, it was Westerners who carried forward the role of the steam engine?

When these Westerners make up their own history, they do it more rigorously.

Just hilarious.

The technology invented by the ancients more than 1,700 years ago has been buried for more than a thousand years, and no one mentioned it at all during this period.

Even ordinary people who don't understand history can notice the inconsistency after just thinking about it.

To put it bluntly, it is to overturn the paradox that the steam engine was invented by Westerners!

Either the steam engine was originally invented by the Chinese.

The Qing Dynasty said, do you think that the Qing Dynasty is engaged in literary inquisition and repairing the Sikuquanshu, and all the hard work is in vain?

And the reason why Ming Dynasty wants to perform such a "fire boat going away" performance openly and openly.

Zhu Jing'an admitted that during the more than 100 years since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, China had indeed lagged behind the West.

Going by the timeline, things are very clear.

Because the history of the West really cannot withstand scrutiny.

That's why we could use the steam engine technology that was invented seven years later to build a steam engine car for Kang Mazi seven years ago.

Then, after being secretly learned by missionaries like Nan Huairen, it was spread to Europe!

As for what Westerners say, the principle of the steam engine was invented by the ancient Greek mathematician Hero in the first century BC...

This was too much of a coincidence.

Haha, this is really a story.

Especially in terms of science and technology, due to the theft of Europeans and the deliberate delay of the Manchus, they fell far behind.

But one is one and two is two.

Falling behind, he catches up.

No, he can learn.

However, something originally invented by the Ming Dynasty must not be stolen by Westerners and put on their heads.

Under the deliberate propaganda of the Ming Dynasty, the news that Ming Dynasty wanted to recreate the spectacle of "fire boats going away" on the Yangtze River has been completely spread.

Countless people came spontaneously to watch the fun!

... Soon, the time came to the first day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Xuanwu in the Ming Dynasty.

The atmosphere of yesterday’s New Year’s Eve has not dissipated yet.

Brand-new Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns can be seen everywhere throughout Nanjing.

Many wealthy families even used silk to decorate their facades.

throughout Nanjing. Almost every street is swept clean.

Except for the debris left behind after the fireworks were set off, there was no other garbage.

At dawn, Zhu Jianzhuo and Zhu Jing'an took the royal family to the dock outside Nanjing in a royal chariot.

Zhu Jing'an got out of the car and came to Zhu Jianzhuo's side. The father and son joined hands and climbed onto the high platform on the Yangtze River pier.

Standing on the high platform, Zhu Jing'an looked around and saw that the pier was packed with people of all kinds.

Since Nanjing was far away from the threat of war, its prosperity has been increasing day by day.

There are many reasons. First, Nanjing regained its status as the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

A large number of businessmen and gentry are rushing into Nanjing, and Nanjing's population and economy are growing rapidly.

The second reason is because of the current national policy of Ming Dynasty to develop industry and commerce!

Since Nanjing is located in the heart of Jiangnan, it naturally benefits a lot.

The third reason is due to the opening of the sea.

As the Ming Dynasty opened and closed in important coastal cities, more and more foreigners poured into the Ming Dynasty.

After entering the Ming Dynasty, many foreigners would choose to come to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, for activities.

Due to the combined effect of many reasons, Nanjing's prosperity will naturally double!

Seeing the emperor and the prince on stage, the people of the Ming Dynasty on the dock spontaneously bowed down and saluted.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"..."

The moment the sound rang out, the crowd on the pier fell down like waves of wheat blown by the wind.

The shouts of long live almost resounded throughout Nanjing!

Driven by the people of the Ming Dynasty around them, businessmen from vassal countries such as Korea, Vietnam, Siam, Japan, and even some foreigners in the crowd also kowtowed.

No one dared to challenge the majesty of the Ming royal family.

As for the fact that there is no kneeling ceremony for kings in the West?

Haha, as the saying goes, when you enter your hometown, do as the customs do. Since you have entered my hometown, you should naturally follow my customs.

When you arrive in the Ming Dynasty, you must abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

Today's Ming Dynasty has not experienced the centuries of decline in history, and is still quite confident from top to bottom.

Although the switch is turned on, foreigners, whether they are subjects of vassal states or foreigners from the West, are treated equally and look down upon.

Ming Dynasty will not bend its own rules for foreigners!

Damn you, don’t you kneel down if you don’t want to?

Do I, Daming, not want face?

Facts have proved that as long as I am strong enough, then my rules are the rules!

Foreigners will also turn on the adaptive function.
