Chapter 235 Signing in again, technology explodes!
When Zhu Youtang heard the systematic metallic sound in his ears, he felt dazed and felt extremely happy.
The last time the system appeared was before his personal expedition, it was also when he obtained Annan's old slips from Liu Daxia, which he had also hidden.
At that time, the system only corrected the errors in Annan's ancient slips and rewarded a blessing for the Ming army.
I don’t know what the system will reward for signing in this time.
Zhu Youtang suppressed his excitement and said silently in his mind: "Sign in!"
"Ding! Sign-in successful! Reward a navigation chart that matches the current situation!"
As the system prompt sounded, the navigation chart in Zhu Youtang's hand also underwent magical changes.
The graphics and text above began to change slightly on their own.
Zheng He's navigation chart was drawn during the Yongle period. Although it is extremely detailed, the actual situation has changed after so many years.
Now, the system has made this navigation chart more accurate and the information on it more detailed.
"Ding! Reward steam engine technology and steelmaking technology blueprints!"
"This drawing can quickly create advanced steam engines, and greatly improve steel-making technology to produce harder steel."
"Ding! Reward Zheng He's treasure ship upgrade technology!"
"This technology can be used to upgrade Zheng He's treasure ship into the world's largest steel-clad steamship."
"Ding! Reward with flintlock manufacturing blueprints!"
"This drawing can upgrade the musket to a flintlock gun! Simplify the shooting process and improve the firing rate and shooting accuracy!"
"Ding! Reward gunpowder and bullet upgrade blueprints!"
"This blueprint can produce lower-cost, more powerful gunpowder, and bullets suitable for flintlock muskets!"
"All drawings have been distributed to the Yangxin Palace, and the host can view them at any time!"
The system issued four world-leading technological drawings to Zhu Youtang in one go.
These four technologies include steelmaking and steam engine technology, shipbuilding, musketry and gunpowder.
Moreover, these technologies are not like castles in the air, ultra-high technologies that far exceed the industrial level of this world.
It is a product that is in line with the development of the industrial level of this era, allowing officials and craftsmen of this era to understand the principles and actually manufacture them.
As long as there are drawings of these technologies, with the ingenuity of Ming officials, they can quickly understand the principles and implement them.
For example, the steam engine was actually used on a large scale in England's coal mining industry in the 16th century.
It was only about a hundred years ago.
The flintlock gun was improved on the basis of the fire gun.
The earliest recorded appearance was in the 25th year of Jiajing, which is only about fifty years ago.
The wood-clad steel technology can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. The principles are all the same, and the only difference is the change of technical methods and raw materials.
Moreover, the most important technology here is not actually steam engines, shipbuilding, or musketry, but steelmaking technology!
Due to the inability to create higher temperature flames, ancient steelmaking technology has not progressed for a long time after the invention of block carburizing steel and cast iron softening.
In order to enhance the hardness of steel, craftsmen often use the method of frying and refining steel, beating and refining a piece of steel dozens or hundreds of times, and finally create a magic weapon that can blow hair and break hair.
However, due to the difficulty of making steel, the labor volume is large, and the output is very low, it is mainly used for precious objects such as swords and is rarely used in production.
The technology rewarded by the system this time is to make molten steel by changing the shape of the steel-making furnace, adding some substances to the flame, and blowing it into the molten iron to oxidize the impurity elements in it and generate a large amount of heat.
In this way, extremely hard steel can be mass-produced at low cost.
Steel is the basis for all industrial development!
As long as Zhu Youtang can implement steel well, even if he never gets involved in industry again, Ming Dynasty's industry will usher in a spurt of development.
Zhu Youtang listened to the sound of system rewards in his mind. He was excited and had many thoughts. The hand holding the navigation chart was trembling with excitement.
At this time, Zhu Youtang had no intention of staying at Chengtianmen to preside over executions.
Now, he just wants to return to the Nourishing Heart Hall immediately to view the information on system rewards.
Zhu Youtang put away Zheng He's navigation chart and turned to look at the civil and military officials waiting for execution under the Chengtian Gate.
At this moment, the civil and military officials were extremely desperate, especially those on the southeast coast, who looked as depressed as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Zhu Youtang's eyes swept across the crowd, and finally landed on Liu Daxia's family waiting for execution.
"Put Liu Daxia on fire and kill the nine tribes!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The crime Liu Daxia committed is unpardonable!
Zhu Youtang couldn't spare Liu Daxia's life just because he re-handed over the navigation chart he had hidden.
At most, Zhu Youtang can only give the nine people of Liu Daxia a happy death, but Zhu Youtang must wipe out the entire Liu family!
The factory guards tied the distraught Liu Daxia to the burning platform and set fire to the dead branches and thatch under him.
The fire burned fiercely, engulfing Liu Daxia in the high temperature.
The next moment, Liu Daxia's painful screams rang out from the flames.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Amidst the screams, the factory guards slaughtered all Liu Daxia's family members one after another!
Zhu Youtang glanced at the wailing Liu Daxia indifferently, and then turned his attention to Fei Ju.
Now even Peng Shao, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is still in the queue waiting for execution. The only person in the Ministry of Punishment who can talk to Zhu Youtang is a small doctor.
"The remaining officials will all be punished in accordance with the "Imperial Imperial Order".
"Severe and severe punishment, no one will be spared!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After Zhu Youtang gave the order, Fei Ju, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, quickly bowed to accept the order with an expression of extreme respect.
The next moment, Zhu Youtang took the navigation chart, turned around and walked quickly down the city wall, and got on his dragon chariot.
"Go back to the Yangxin Palace! Hurry!"
"Here!"
The young eunuchs who were responsible for carrying the sedan quickly accelerated their pace after hearing this, and rushed back to the Yangxin Hall as quickly as possible.
……
Just when the officials in the capital were gathered together and executed by Zhu Youtang.
Prince Xing's Mansion in the capital also welcomed an uninvited guest.
Prince Xing Zhu Youqian and Concubine Chen Shao have been imprisoned in two courtyards of Prince Xing's Mansion since they were imprisoned by Zhu Youtang a few days ago.
In the past few days, no one had come into contact with these two people, and even food was brought in through small holes.
Zhu Youqi hid in his room and was in panic all day long.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
That day, Zhu Youtang's cold eyes plunged Zhu Youtang into endless panic.
Whenever he closed his eyes, Zhu Youtang's murderous eyes would appear in his mind, waking him up from his dream.
In the past few days, he had been restless and looked very haggard.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
And just when his spirit was at its most sensitive, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the palace door, which had been quiet for many days.
"Who?!"
"Who's outside!"
Zhu Youqian's nerves were tense instantly, and he stared at the palace door with a fearful expression. His face became extremely pale, and cold sweat slipped quietly from his forehead.
"Your Majesty has an order that I am not allowed to contact anyone!"
"If you still want to live, please retreat quickly and don't hurt you and me!"
"Don't worry, I won't mention this to anyone!"
Now Zhu Youqi is like a frightened bird, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.
Just like Emperor Yingzong when he was kept quiet in Nangong, he was afraid of every Ming official around him and did not allow any Ming official to approach him.
But the people outside the door did not just leave. Instead, they opened the palace door and walked in.
When Zhu Youqian saw the man's appearance, his heart finally died.
His body instantly became weak and he fell off the chair, with a sad smile on his face.
"You...it's you..."
"Brother Emperor...Brother Emperor, are you still unwilling to let me go?!"
Wang Zhi walked up to Zhu Youqian expressionlessly and looked at him without any emotion.
"His Royal Highness King Xing, Your Majesty trusts you so much that he allows you to stay in the capital."
"But you seek power and usurp the throne...don't you feel ashamed?"
Zhu Youzhao stared at Wang Zhi blankly, his pupils dilated with fear.
"No! No! No!"
"I didn't! I didn't usurp the throne!"
"I was forced. I was really forced by Yu Shen!"
Zhu Youqiu yelled crazily, trying his best to prove his innocence.
Wang Zhi put his finger in front of his lips and made a silencing gesture.
"I know that you must feel very ashamed, very painful, and full of regret and self-blame."
"Yes, yes, I regret it, I really regret it..."
Zhu Youqi cried bitterly and kept nodding.
Wang Zhi's expression did not show any fluctuation: "I also know that you must want to die to express your will, to use actions to apologize to His Majesty, and to apologize to the world."
"I understand your mood very well, so I brought you this."
"Your Highness Prince Xing, it will be good for you, your Majesty, the royal family, the court, and the world to walk in a more dignified manner."
Wang Zhi said, placing a small porcelain bottle in Zhu Youqian's hand.
Zhu Youyi was still nodding, agreeing with Wang Zhi's words.
But when he heard the following content and saw the small porcelain bottle in his hand, he was so frightened that he quickly threw the small porcelain bottle in his hand.
At this moment, how could he still not understand the meaning of Wang Zhi's words?
Wang Zhi is forcing him to commit suicide!
"No! No! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Zhu Youqi crawled under the table, crying and begging for mercy: "Eunuch Wang, I beg you, please let me live!"
"I am willing to be imprisoned in this courtyard for the rest of my life. Please, don't kill me!"
Wang Zhi glanced at the small porcelain vase at his feet, and then looked at Zhu Youqi under the table.
His expression was calm and there was no emotion in his tone.
"Since His Highness is unwilling to show dignity, I will help His Highness show dignity."
