Just a few days ago, news of the She family's request to send troops to support Liaodong reached the capital.
This was a conspiracy by the She family to paralyze the imperial court. Of course, Wang Hongyu pointed it out, and Tianqi and others knew what was going on.
Tian used flying pigeons to send messages and asked Wang Hongyu for advice in secret letters. Zhang Wanzhong's flying pigeon channel was very reliable, and Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiweidu, participated in the process to provide manpower and material support.
Therefore, the transmission effect is very reliable.
Wang Hongyu wrote a reply and handed it to the carrier pigeon receiving station. Tianqi received the reply two days later.
Wang Hongyu suggested that we should take two steps now:
In one step, it was clear that troops would be mobilized elsewhere in Sichuan to temporarily appease the She family and state that the court did not need to increase troops in Liaodong for the time being.
Step into the dark, secretly tell important officials, secretly guard against the She family, and screen officials for bribery.
The imperial court relied on post stations and fast horses to send messages to people other than Wang Hongyu, so the response would take some time after all.
It was an eight-hundred-mile expedited horse ride, and I don’t know how many horses had to be exhausted in the middle of the journey.
Wang Hongyu has promoted Zhang Wanzhong's official position to the first-level master craftsman, which is equivalent to the junior Jinshi level. He has made a high-tech level note to the Tianqi court. Zhang Wanzhong's literary level or Gongsheng technical level is already at the same level as a Jinshi.
The plan is to let Zhang Wanzhong teach a group of students, who have already begun training homing pigeons.
In the future, the carrier pigeon industry must be marketized. In the future, all stations across the country will be inseparable from carrier pigeons, especially when used commercially to transmit information. They are absolutely inseparable from carrier pigeons. Before the use of telegraphs, carrier pigeons will have a broad market.
We also discussed with Wei Zhongxian to establish a carrier pigeon Co., Ltd. The major shareholders are of course Wang Hongyu and Wei Zhongxian. As the inventor of the carrier pigeon, Zhang Wanzhong is also a shareholder and should be the general manager of R&D.
In fact, some well-informed generals and local officials had already heard the signs that She Chongming and An Bangyan were about to rebel. They were still a little unprepared for the signs that An Bangyan was about to rebel. Years of stable life had long made them lax in their armaments.
It was not just the governor of Yunyang. At this time, most of the southern generals and officials of the Ming Dynasty were like this. The more important reason was that many officials accepted bribes from Shejia and Anjia and became their official protection umbrella.
Fortunately, Wang Hongyu has reliable comrades.
Tianqi has ordered Qin Liangyu to travel lightly and lead hundreds of elite troops back to Shizhu as soon as possible, while the remaining troops remain at Shanhaiguan.
Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin and daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi are training Shizhu chieftain soldiers.
Ran Yuelong, the chieftain of Youyang, has sent his third son Ran Tianbiao to lead 800 chieftains to join the Hunhe Army.
In terms of generals and veterans, there are many people who support it, but the cooperation among Sichuan civil servants is very low, and they are deeply entangled with the She family.
Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan, thought that by wooing She Chongming, he could express condolences to the Yongning chieftain soldiers who were approaching Chongqing.
At this time, he had no sense of crisis and was not prepared to deal with She Chongming's rebellion. The officials around him were even worse. It was simply unimaginable to rely on them to quell the rebellion.
You must rely on your own strength.
A few days later, Tianqi wrote back, intending to grant Wang Hongyu the military power to fight against rebellion, announce his identity as a descendant of Dingyuan Marquis, restore Wang Hongyu to the title of Dingyuan Marquis, and order him to command the army on the North Road.
Emperor Tianqi's edict to restore Wang Hongyu to the title of Marquis of Dingyuan has been specially arranged to be brought by Wang Tiqian, the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and is expected to arrive in half a month.
The timing of the announcement is entirely under Wang Hongyu's control.
The person Wang Hongyu was waiting for a few days ago was not Wang Tiqian, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. He should have arrived at this time, but now it seems that he was delayed for two days on the road.
Before that man arrived, another friend came from afar.
Deng Yuhan has arrived.
It was the outstanding scientist Deng Yuhan who Wang Hongyu asked Jinni Pavilion to invite.
His arrival will usher in the integration of European and Chinese science and technology. Under the leadership of Wang Hongyu, China's science and technology will catch up with the world's advanced level.
Deng Yuhan, courtesy name Hanpu, was a Swiss missionary. He was born in the Holy Roman Empire in 1576 and died in Beijing, China on May 11, 1630.
Famous astronomers, medical scientists, botanists, mechanics, and mechanics.
He first studied medicine at Altdorf University near Nuremberg, and then studied at the University of Padua in Italy, where he met Galileo.
In 1611, due to his outstanding knowledge in medicine, astronomy, botany and other fields, Deng Yuhan was admitted as the seventh academician of the Lincai Academy of Sciences. This move was only a few days later than Galileo. This honor was "for the first-class scientists at that time" It is an honor that can only be obtained. "It can be seen that Deng Yuhan's academic attainments are extraordinary.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Jesuits traveled thousands of miles to China to preach, which opened the prelude to cultural exchanges between China and the West in modern times. These Jesuits mainly came from Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium and other European countries.
Among them, the representative figure Tang Ruowang has been introduced and studied more in China. However, another important German missionary who came to China with Tang Ruowang at the same time has received less attention from people and academic circles. He is Deng Yuhan.
Deng Yuhan received a good education in his youth. He was extremely intelligent, sensitive and eager to learn. In 1904, Galileo Galilei joined the famous Lingcai Academy, and Deng Yuhan joined the academy the following year.
In April 1611, Galileo Galilei became the sixth academician of the Lingcai Academy after its establishment. In May, Deng Yuhan immediately became the seventh academician of the academy.
He was proficient in medicine, natural history, philosophy, mathematics, and was proficient in German, English, French, Portuguese, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Chaldean and other languages. He joined the Society of Jesus. Before coming to China, Deng Yuhan He was well-known in Germany and was the most knowledgeable among the missionaries who came to China in the late Ming Dynasty.
Deng Yuhan's medicine is the top figure in the West. If we combine traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine and use the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine to make up for the shortcomings of western medicine; or if there is another figure like Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing in traditional Chinese medicine, we can cooperate with Deng Yuhan in research. Combining the two will produce a qualitative leap.
However, in his previous life, Deng Yuhan did not combine Chinese and Western medicine in medicine. He also did not improve his studies in astronomy, mechanics, and mechanics. He only did translation work. Perhaps he was a hero with no use for his talents.
For some unknown reason, he did not realize his potential, and he only lived to be 54 years old. As a top figure in the medical world, he did not take good care of his body.
Presumably there must be no one to support his scientific research, and there are no conditions for scientific research. In short, he will not be considered successful in the second half of his life after coming to China.
In this life, he was lucky enough to meet Wang Hongyu. Wang Hongyu had already built a basic Chinese medicine processing plant and stored a large number of medical books, which created conditions for his medical research.
As long as he needs it, Wang Hongyu will fully support his medical research. No matter where the materials and equipment are, Wang Hongyu will help him get them. Even European equipment will be bought.
