Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 112 Sun Yuanhua

Yang Reform was indignant for a long time because the civilian elites burned the eunuchs' nautical charts and shipbuilding materials.

But if it's not fair, it's not fair. I still have to deal with my own affairs.

Now, do you want to build a ship?Who will train sailors?When did Zheng Zhilong make trouble?When will you recruit?Difficult, difficult, difficult.

While distressed.

Wang Chengen reported: "Your Majesty, the two masters Sun and Xu and Li Zubai have arrived..." Wang Chengen reminded softly.

When Yang Reform was extremely troubled, these people arrived, just in time, he could ask his "consultants" about these things in the Ming Dynasty, no one knew better than them.

"See you now."

……

"Your servant XXX kowtows to my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Li Zubai saluted the emperor together.

"Get up, big companion, show your seat to the two masters."

"As you order, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen moved the chairs for the two old people himself.

Li Zubai stood humbly by himself, seeing that the two court dignitaries who came in with him had seats, he was extremely envious, and wondered when he would be able to climb to this step!But just think about it, as an "official" of Qin Tianjian, it is a blessing from heaven to be summoned by the emperor, and he still expects to have a chair to sit on?Think beautifully.This self-knowledge is still there.

"I don't know what your Majesty's recruiting ministers are doing?" Sun Chengzong asked, looking at the Nuan Pavilion, there were other people, Jin Yiwei, the chief eunuch.I don't know what it is, there are so many people.

"Hehe, in this way, I have recruited 500 warriors to sail around the world, but my ship has not landed yet, and I don't know who will build it. Also, what should I do to train sailors? I have nowhere to go, and going to sea is just empty talk! Two masters, do you have suitable candidates, please recommend them to me."

In terms of contacts in the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi are really much wider than Chongzhen. The emperor stayed at the "Forbidden City Museum" all day long, staying at home all day long, and he was not in contact with eunuchs and maids. It is the ministers and guards, and other people are difficult to get close to, so if you want to say who has the ability and who has the talent, your eyes will be darkened.

In Yang Reform's mind, he already had a solid record of shipbuilding, and there were really no talented people, so let Zheng Huaizhong build it. The Three Treasures eunuch could build treasure ships, why couldn't Zheng Huaizhong build them in the same Ming Dynasty?There is no reason why things that can be made in the early Ming Dynasty cannot be made in the late Ming Dynasty!There is no difference between the technology of the early Ming Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to shipbuilding, I was recommended by someone who also studied with me in the early years, assisted me in translating and sorting out Western books, and also wrote books by myself. , is a very talented person.”

Yang Reform became excited as soon as he heard it, Xu Guangqi's apprentice?Very talented, I am really looking forward to it, I hope Xu Guangqi can give himself a big surprise.

"Quickly tell me, who is this?" Yang Reform couldn't wait.

"Your Majesty, this person's surname is Sun, his first name is Yuanhua, and his style name is Chuyang. He is from the same township as my minister. He was appointed in the 40th year of Wanli..." Xu Guangqi said unhurriedly.I am very confident about this person, and I believe His Majesty the Emperor will appreciate this person's talent very much.

Sun Yuanhua?Hehe, I bumped into a famous person in history again.The celebrities in this history are almost getting together.Yang Reform was a little happy.

Sun Yuanhua is also a historical celebrity!It is said that he can make cannons very well.Yuan Chonghuan's cannon was built with his help.

Xu Guangqi was halfway through the introduction, and found that the emperor was very happy, and said: "...Could it be that your Majesty also knows this person?" Just after Xu Guangqi finished speaking, he wondered, how could it be possible for the emperor to stay in the palace all day? Know someone?
"Hehe, Master Xu, I don't know this person, but I have heard of this person's name. I heard that he is an expert in Western artillery? He is very good at making cannons?" Yang Reform was happy.With the help of this historical celebrity, there is no need to rush to build the cannon. I have a little bit of the gun now. Responsible for making cannons, but Xu Guangqi is responsible for too many things, and Yang Reform doesn't intend to add too much burden to the old man, so he is in a dilemma.

Xu Guangqi felt that this was more in line with common sense. Sun Yuanhua was his student, and he knew a lot about Western technology. The emperor who liked novelties, it was not surprising that he had heard of his reputation.

"Your Majesty, it is true. Although Chu Yang is a juren, he has written "Taixi Suan Yao", "Geometry Usage", "Geometry", "Miscellaneous Works of Western Studies", and also specially introduced Western cannons, gunpowder, etc. "Western Magic Machine" in terms of building fortresses...has a lot of experience in building artillery, and once assisted Yuan Ziru in casting artillery to defend Ningyuan." Xu Guangqi took great care of Sun Yuanhua, and described Sun Yuanhua's glorious history in front of the emperor. After all, to praise Sun Yuanhua in front of the emperor, Xu Guangqi believed that the emperor, who loved novelty objects, would be very interested in Sun Yuanhua after hearing his introduction. His student Sun Yuanhua had his own recommendation, so it would not be difficult for him to stand out.

"Then where is Sun Yuanhua now?" Yang Reform was eager to get Sun Yuanhua to the capital to build cannons for his new army.

"Report to Your Majesty, still join the army in Liaodong, and help defend Ningyuan."

Sure enough, he is also a bully character. He sees that the world is wrong, and he dares to go to the battlefield as a literati, not to mention the principle of saving the country and the people. He dares to defend the lonely city with Yuan Chonghuan. The rotten Confucianism in three hundred miles is too strong.

"Very good. If you dare to make a breakthrough in this battle, you can be regarded as a courageous person. If Master Xu recommends it, then you should immediately recruit Sun Yuanhua back to Beijing, and he will be of great use..." Yang Reform's plan is I recruited Sun Yuanhua back to build cannons for myself. When it came to reuse, I just remembered that when Xu Guangqi recommended it, I was asking about shipbuilding!this?Could it be that Sun Yuanhua can still build ships?this?I don't know now, dream back to Baidu to check at night?
Uh, let’s ask Xu Guangqi, since he dared to recommend Sun Yuanhua’s shipbuilding, he must be a little sure and wouldn’t let go.

"Master Xu, this Sun Yuanhua can still build ships?" Yang Reform asked suspiciously.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chuyang has made friends with many Western priests. All of these priests have special skills. Some are good at making guns, some are good at building ships, some are good at training sergeants, and some are good at medicine. A few days ago, Chuyang wrote a letter saying that he was discussing Western shipbuilding techniques with some Westerners, and he had a lot of experience, so I dared to recommend him." Xu Guangqi is Sun Yuanhua's teacher, so naturally he should take extra care of his students and respect each other. In between, I often write letters to inform myself of my current situation, which is very normal.

Western priests?shipbuilding?Cannon?Train soldiers?medicine?Hearing Xu Guangqi's words, Yang Reform felt that this is how Westerners came to colonize his land!This is too uncomfortable. I haven't gone there yet, and the people there all ran over to colonize me. It doesn't feel good to be colonized.Very upset.

When I think about it, I think it’s no fault of others. If you don’t develop, can you blame others for being more advanced and more aggressive than you?This matter has to be considered in the long term. The Western priest can build ships and cannons, and Sun Yuanhua can also build them. Then we can get these people to the capital and see how far the Western technology has developed.Maybe we can learn from some Western technology.

Yang Reform, who had figured it out, changed his face from being hostile just now to kindness, and said, "If that's the case, let's recruit all those Western priests to Beijing, and Sun Yuanhua will also come to Beijing immediately." Yang Reform gave the order.

……

There are people who build ships, but the people who train them have not yet been found. Yang Reform said again: "There are people who build ships, but what about people who train boats to go to sea? Two masters, who are there?" Recommended?"

Yang Reform once again pinned his hopes on the two masters.

Xu Guangqi lived up to Emperor Chongzhen Yang's high hopes of reforming, and immediately took over the conversation, saying: "Your Majesty, among the Western priests, there are some who specialize in training sailors. I think the Westerners traveled tens of thousands of miles across the ocean to come to our Ming Dynasty. , Presumably, I also have experience in sailing. Your Majesty wants to sail around the world. The journey is farther than coming from the West. Why don't you see what the Westerners have? There must be something to learn from."

Xu Guangqi boldly recommended Western priests to train the navy.

￥%...%...Yang Reform has mixed feelings in his heart.Do you also use Westerners as naval instructors?Could it be that the Ming Dynasty had no talents who could train the navy?Do we really have to wait until Zheng Zhilong recruits him?But who knows when he "alarmed" the court?Another one is that Zheng Zhilong's family also hang out in Nanyang. When it comes to ocean voyages, in the late Ming Dynasty, Westerners were more fun.

Thinking about it again, Xu Guangqi was right. Others sailed tens of thousands of miles across the sea to come to Daming, obviously they have some ability and ability.Others are seeking to make progress, making progress, while oneself are stagnant, and the skills are not as good as others. Who is to blame?
