Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and ordered to go down and send someone to accompany Liang Asheng back home to pick up his manuscripts and tools.
There are also the models he made himself, and the loom that still needs improvement!
By the way, Liang Asheng’s parents also need to be settled.
Liang Asheng is of great value and is the key to whether the military government can enter the industrial age. In order to ensure his safety and that the technology will not be leaked.
Arranging Liang Asheng's parents is a very necessary thing!
Zhu Hongyu really felt that he had found a treasure!
After Liang Asheng and Zhang Yunxuan both retreated, Zhu Hongyu turned over the papers and discovered a few more talents.
Different arrangements were made for them!
There are several deaf-mute candidates among the candidates, and they generally have good results in arithmetic, astronomy, geometry and other science subjects.
After much deliberation, Zhu Hongyu planned to arrange for these deaf-mute people to do research in Liang Asheng's research institute!
After all, research institutes need to be able to calm down and do research. Except for engineering geeks like Liang Asheng, most people are far behind deaf-mute people in terms of concentration and meticulousness.
Let them do research, which can be regarded as giving full play to their talents!
…
Damuan Island, outside Relanjia City!
More than 20,000 Zheng troops surrounded the city of Relanje, and the Zheng army set up several artillery positions around the city.
During the roar of the cannons, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the cannonballs hit the walls of the city of Relanja!
It's just that the city of Relanja is a bastion, and the city wall has a certain curvature that can relieve the force.
The cannonballs hit the city wall with little effect.
As the artillery roared, not only was the Zheng army shelling the city of Relanja, but the Dutch were also firing back.
Their artillery in the fort roared!
Artillery shells were fired at Zheng Jun's artillery array with great accuracy.
The artillery shell landed conveniently in front of the artillery array, smashing large amounts of dust on the ground and rolling towards Zheng Jun's artillery array.
The shell hit an artillery piece, and in an instant, the barrel of the artillery piece deformed.
A Zheng Army gunner was hit by a cannonball, and in the blink of an eye, half of his body was shattered by the cannonball.
Blood and guts were sprayed everywhere!
The smell of blood fills the sky!
In the fierce artillery battle between the two sides, Zheng Jun was obviously at a disadvantage, and it could even be said that he was fighting unilaterally.
Zheng Jun's artillery shells hit the bastion of the city of Relanja, but the bastion remained motionless.
The Dutch artillery shells fell in the Zheng army's artillery array, but they caused casualties everywhere.
Of course, this is not a difference in the quality of gunners and artillery between the two sides!
The Dutch gunners were rich in experience, but the Zheng army's gunners also had rich experience after so many years of fighting against the Qing Dynasty.
In this era, gunnery is, to put it bluntly, a matter of experience.
As for some people who say that Eastern gunners don't know geometry, gunners rely entirely on experience.
In the West, science and technology are developed and advanced, and gunners rely on geometry to calculate the shooting elements, so their gunnery skills are very good.
In fact, this is all fucking bullshit. This is half a million people walking around licking their foreign fathers.
You must know that in ancient times, China's literacy rate was always the first in the world.
Even though it was affected by war in the late Ming Dynasty, China's literacy rate still reached 10%, irrefutably ranking first in the world.
But even so, geometry is only an exclusive game for a few smart people. Generally, only the elite among the scholar-bureaucrats study it, and ordinary scholars cannot understand it at all.
This is China, which has the highest literacy rate in the world!
What about Europe in this era?
Is their literacy rate one percent?
To put it bluntly, the literacy rate in Europe is not necessarily as high as mine.
How many people in the whole of Europe have studied geometry? How many people who have studied geometry can understand it clearly?
To put it bluntly, in Europe of this era, geometry was also a toy of the aristocracy.
Will nobles personally go to the battlefield to man the artillery and serve as artillerymen?
Besides, even if the gunners in Western countries really know how much everyone knows, can they be counted on in time on the battlefield?
In the end, it all comes down to experience!
The fundamental reason why the Zheng Army was at a disadvantage was because the Dutch had forts as support, while the Zheng Army had an open-air artillery position.
Moreover, during the artillery battle, the Dutch's artillery battery had an advantageous location and was facing Zheng's artillery battery from a high position!
It is not surprising that the Zheng army was suppressed in the artillery battle!
Zheng Chenggong looked at the artillery battle where he was clearly at a disadvantage and couldn't help but frown.
"The Dutchman's artillery skills are really amazing!"
Zheng Jing, the eldest son next to Zheng Chenggong, spoke with a look of amazement on his face.
Little did he know that as soon as he said these words, Zheng Chenggong's face darkened instantly.
"Father, this city of Relanje has been built by the Dutch for more than thirty years. It is very strong and cannot be attacked by force!"
"How about peace talks?"
Zheng Chenggong looked over and felt very unhappy with his son, who had a weak and irresponsible character.
But there is no choice. Although I have many children, I only have this one son!
"Why peace talks?"
"Now we have the advantage. Even if we are surrounded, we can surround Hong Mao to death!"
"If we want peace talks, the Red Haired People should send people to negotiate!"
Zheng Jing shrank his neck under the instruction and no longer dared to speak.
Zheng Chenggong ignored his son and continued to focus on the battlefield.
Seeing the artillery battle becoming increasingly disadvantageous, he finally spoke.
"Order the withdrawal of troops, there is no need to make fearless sacrifices anymore!"
"Wait until Chen Yonghua comes back and then talk about the attack on the city!"
Calculating the time, Chen Yonghua has been in Luzon for almost a month, and Zheng Chenggong estimates that it is time for him to come back.
As Zheng Chenggong expected, Chen Yonghua returned to Zheng Jun's camp three days later.
He also told Zheng Chenggong how to attack the city in caves.
"My surname is Mr. Guo. The students have borrowed a team of experts in attacking the city from the Liberation Army!"
"With their help, we will definitely be able to conquer the city of Relanja!"
Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly and said.
"Very good, send someone to entertain the Liberation Army with good food and wine, and let them recuperate for a day."
"Tell our people to make preparations in advance!"
"When that Liberation Army team is doing their work, send a few smart people with them to find out the entrance to the cave to attack the city!"
Chen Yonghua nodded, and then told Zheng Chenggong the request made by Zhu Hongyu.
When he heard that Zhu Hongyu wanted two merchant ships, he agreed without thinking, and then spoke.
"Send two relatively new fortune ships to Luzon!"
Chen Yonghua nodded in agreement, and then spoke again.
"The Liberation Army also wants to invite Mr. Guo to attack the Spanish red-haired devils and capture the entire Luzon, and then use Luzon as the core to integrate the power of the entire Nanyang Chinese in order to counterattack the Central Plains!"
"The student didn't know how to respond, so he excused himself and said that Mr. Guoxing would make the decision himself!"
Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but frown, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Alas, since the news of Mopanshan's defeat came, we have never heard from His Majesty again, right?"
"I wonder where the world is now!"
The party struggle in Nanming was fierce, but it only happened a few years ago.
In recent years, with the collapse of the Longwu Shaowu regime, Zhu Yihai, the governor of Lu, resigned from the throne. All the forces resisting the Qing Dynasty, including Zheng Chenggong and the thirteen Kuidong families, have recognized the orthodox status of the Yongli court.
