Reborn Wu Dalang

"Governor, that's how they are. Once they study it, they don't care about it!" Ling Zhen said awkwardly behind Wu Dong.

"Scholars should be like this! Only in this way, can they have great inventions if they concentrate on it." Wu Dong laughed.

"Grand Governor, although this steam is useful, it has little practical significance! Just now, I heard from those people that the things they study are not as strong as a ten-year-old boy, and the manpower and material resources spent on researching these things are nothing more than There are quite a few! Is it really necessary to continue the research?" Li Gang said with some hesitation.

"Naturally, there is a need for further research! We need to increase investment in the future! Not only money input, but also more excellent craftsmen to be sent here! Ling Zhen, from today onwards, you will organize a steam research team, personnel There must be at least 300 people, and all of them must be elites! Whatever Jinhu needs, give him all!" Wu Dong thought for a while and said.

"Yes!" Although Ling Zhen didn't quite agree with Wu Dong's statement, he finally agreed.

In fact, Ling Zhen's thinking is similar to Li Gang's. They both feel that the cost of investment is too high, and the result in the future may be very small.

In fact, any scientific invention will be questioned when it first appears.When the musket was first invented, it was not as powerful as the bow and arrow.When the train was first invented, its running speed was not as fast as that of a horse-drawn carriage.These scientific inventions were ridiculed at the beginning, and so is the "steam engine" now.Wu Dong came from later generations, so he naturally knew the significance of the steam engine, so he naturally wanted to increase his investment.

At present, the technology is only immature, and once the technology is mature, it will inevitably shine brightly.And according to Wu Dong's idea, the research speed of this "steam engine" must be much faster than that of later generations.Later generations of Watt conducted research alone, with at most a few assistants.However, Wu Dong is using the power of the entire country to conduct research at this time, and devotes all the elites of the country to relevant research. If the research speed is not as fast as that of Watt in later generations, it will be a bit abnormal.

After leaving here, Wu Dong asked about Su Yuan and Lu Jiu!Na Suyuan is currently studying the interaction among force, mass, and velocity.Wu Dong smiled slightly after hearing this. This is also basic physics knowledge in later generations, but it is extremely mysterious in this era.Except for that Su Yuan, few people could understand it, even Ling Zhen himself didn't quite understand it.Lu Jiu, on the other hand, is studying some problems of squares and functions. In future generations, one or two formulas may be needed to solve the problems. Lu Jiu will also spend countless hours of calculations to reach a conclusion.

Even so, Wu Dong was extremely satisfied!Since the social reform, technological explosion has occurred in Liangshan.Although these are all very preliminary scientific researches, roughly equivalent to the period when ancient Europe just had its Renaissance, sooner or later there will be more important discoveries, and the science and technology of the whole society will make greater progress.The advancement of science and technology will promote the rapid development of society's economy and civilization, benefiting the people all over the world.

"Governor, the production efficiency of the ordnance factory has been greatly improved compared to before! Moreover, the quality of the ordnance we produce is also much higher than before! Whether it is a saber or a crossbow, our Liangshan is the best. "Ling Zhen said.

"In terms of artillery, what new inventions do you have now?" Wu Dong interrupted him directly and asked.

"The artillery now only improves the accuracy and reduces the weight. In addition, we found that adding rifling to the artillery seems to be able to increase the range of the artillery, but it is still under study. At present, our division of artillery is also more Exactly, we have [-]-jin cannons, [-]-jin cannons, and [-]-jin cannons..." Ling Zhen began to speak.

Wu Dong listened carefully, thinking that artillery has made great progress in the past few years.But overall, it's still pretty primitive.In later generations, artillery was mainly divided according to caliber, and now it is still divided according to weight.In addition, no one in the Academy of Sciences or the Armory Factory has invented artillery, and even if a firearm is invented, it will take a very long time from initial manufacture to perfection.

On the way, Li Gang proposed the relocation of the ordnance factory.In fact, Wu Dong had already had this idea, and the ordnance factory had been relocated from Korea to the vicinity of Yanjing.One is that the ordnance factory is already important, and it can only be reassuring if it is placed in the capital.Another reason is that the resources of the Central Plains far exceed that of Goryeo. The reserves of coal mines, metals, etc. are more than that of Goryeo. Only after the ordnance factory moved to the Central Plains can it develop faster.

"Governor, Zhang Shun has returned!" In the afternoon, when they were going to continue their investigation, Qin Hui suddenly arrived with a few people and said.

"Very good, he is the first high-ranking navy officer to return, what about the rest of the navy?" Wu Dong said.

"Not sure, but they should be back soon." Qin Hui said.

"Let's go, let's meet them." Wu Dong said.

That night, Wu Dong, Li Gang and others rushed to Incheon City overnight. At midnight, they saw Zhang Shun. Beside Zhang Shun was a middle-aged man who turned out to be Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing has changed a lot from before, and now he no longer has that frivolous expression on his face, and he looks much calmer than before.It seems that in the position of the governor of Dongpu, he has also been greatly tempered.

"See the Governor!" Zhang Shun and Ximen Qing didn't fall asleep at all, they had been waiting for Wu Dong's arrival in the Governor's Mansion in Incheon City.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, you guys have changed a lot." Wu Dong laughed.

Indeed, it wasn't just Ximen Qing who had changed a lot, Zhang Shun had also changed a lot.Wu Dong still remembered the scene when Zhang Shun first came to Korea. He was still a young man at that time, and Zhang Shun had become a middle-aged man in a blink of an eye.Time really flies, and it makes people feel emotional, it will be ten years in a blink of an eye.

Everyone sat down, and there was a map of the world in Wu Dong's room, the northeast corner of which was Dong Ying, Wu Dong's eyes were fixed on Dong Ying.After a while, a soldier brought over a detailed map of Japan and spread it on the table.

"We have occupied Kyushu Island for a long time. The Dongying people have always refused to accept it. They have always wanted to take Kyushu Island back! For this reason, they even trained a special assassination team to assassinate our high-level leaders in Liangshan. At the beginning, even I almost fell for it, now is the time for us to solve this trouble." Wu Dong said.

In fact, this is another purpose of Wu Dong's coming to Korea!On the one hand, he is for the examination system that Koryo is implementing, and on the other hand, he is to completely solve the Japanese problem.

"The Dongying people have been preparing for the battle with all their strength these years, we can't underestimate them." Zhang Shun said.

"You two, one is the governor of Dongpu, and the other is stationed in Dongpu. How do you know about Dongpu's intelligence?" Wu Dong said.

"After several years of investigation, we have a clear understanding of Dongying. We have already made a sand table including all the terrain of Dongying, but the sand table is very large. It is still on the boat, and we can only show it to you tomorrow. In addition, we have thoroughly investigated all the warrior leaders and lords in Japan, including their age, temperament, family, etc. Although some of the high-level leaders in Japan are greedy and lustful, none of them People are willing to accept bribes from Liangshan, and no one is willing to serve us in Liangshan. In terms of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, these Dongying people seem to be better than us Han people. In the future, if we conquer Dongying, it may not be easy to govern." Ximen Qingdao .

"Humph, you don't understand the character of the Dongying people! In fact, it is extremely easy to govern! On the one hand, the Dongying people are loyal to the emperor, and on the other hand, they are extremely servile and patient! As long as we completely conquer them by force, they will There won't be much resistance. As long as we show a strength that they can't match, they will obediently be our slaves." Wu Dong said.

"Governor, do you know what our battle plan is?" Zhang Shun said.

"This is the general battle plan drawn up by the military department. Take a good look at it! When Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Heng return, you all study it to see if there is any deviation in it! In addition, many staff officers of the military department Come with us, and they can join you in the details." Wu Dong said.

"Yes!" Zhang Shun and Ximen Qing had already looked at it carefully.

"How many troops does Japan have now?" Wu Dong was still asking.

……

At this moment in the capital city of Japan, Emperor Toba is with his confidant Konoe Sega.After ten years, Konoe Sega's status has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Now Konoe Sega is the regent of Japan, the leader of the samurai group, and the leader of all the lords!

There are also countless ministers sitting cross-legged under them. These people have fundamentally changed from ten years ago.Ten years ago, most of the people sitting here were nobles, but now most of the people sitting here are warrior leaders.

Under the invasion and oppression of Liangshan, although Dongying lost Kyushu Island, although it paid huge war compensation and suffered heavy losses, in a certain respect, Dongying has changed a lot.
