Chapter 231: Earlier Heliocentric Theory in Astronomical Books
Chapter 231 Astronomical Book, Earlier Heliocentric Theory
Things got much better when domestic reporters asked questions. Several official agents brought in also brought the topic to Chen Ye's profound righteousness.
Chen Ye publicly told that in order for the Yongle Ceremony to be released and to preserve this cultural relic, he paid a huge price.
For this reason, he even had conflicts with his partners.
"Everyone, after today's interview with Director Yao Gaoyang, I have made a decision.
That is our Daming Investment Co., Ltd., which will become a strategic partner with the Huaxia Museum.
Ever since I started making money in business, I have been committed to promoting traditional Chinese culture and encouraging history enthusiast clubs across the country to let Chinese culture flourish.
So I decided to donate the Yongle Dadian and the Yongle Emperor's sword that went to sea together with the Yongle Dadian, two cultural relics worth 400 million US dollars, to the Chinese Museum for free.
Let every Chinese son and daughter be able to see them in the museum. At the same time, the corresponding electronic rubbings will also be uploaded to our company's official website after rubbings are made in the Chinese Museum.
If you want to watch the Yongle Grand Ceremony, if you want to understand the splendor of our ancient culture, and if you want to see the living customs of ancient people, you can download it online and view it."
After Chen Ye finished speaking, the Chinese reporters below applauded one after another, and several foreign reporters quickly wrote down the keyword, four hundred million US dollars.
Only the BBC reporter used the underworld filter to make Chen Ye look like a ghost, and then thought about various entries on how to make Chen Ye look like a ghost.
Videos and photos were uploaded to major websites one after another. After being notified, the portal groups who were waiting for the news were simply edited and uploaded directly to grab the headlines.
Employees of Chen Ye's company's publicity department also uploaded the prepared articles to major forums, and the comments were boiling.
"Forgive me! I am too small-minded. I never thought Mr. Chen could be so generous!"
"Mr. Chen is mighty! Mr. Chen is awesome!"
With the increasing calls, Chen Ye's personal website account, the account of Daming Investment Co., Ltd., and the account of Huaxia Museum have become more and more popular.
Yongle Dadian's entries even made eight of the top ten posts on Weibo, beating Brother Feng who failed to grab the headlines again.
"Everyone, I still don't understand. Isn't it just a historical document? Is it necessary to make it so grand, as if it has some great achievement?"
"No? Upstairs, don't you know what the four words "Yongle Dadian" mean?
Also, the news that Gao Li spent 200 million U.S. dollars on the purchase came out in the morning. Didn’t you miss it?
Others in Korea can see the value contained in the Yongle Ceremony, but you can’t understand it?”
"Look at the official website of Daming Investment Co., Ltd. They have uploaded two volumes of rubbings from the Yongle Ceremony. Now you can view the pictures."
"I took a look at it twice, and it was all in traditional Chinese characters, but some experts have already said that the first rubbing recorded the astronomy and meteorology of the Ming Dynasty.
He is very helpful in confirming our current astronomical speculations and the climate causes of the Ming Dynasty.
And you don’t know that during the Yongle period, someone actually talked about the heliocentric theory, and it was even included in the book.
It just didn’t get the attention of mainstream officials and didn’t spread. If I hadn’t seen this record, I wouldn’t have known that the origin of the heliocentric theory was actually in the 15th century.”
"It's amazing. The Qintian Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty calculated the weather solar terms and was able to predict the weather three days in advance."
"The second book has also been published by an expert. It records the woodworking records of the Ming Dynasty. It contains many records of Dingmao structures that have been lost.
I never would have imagined that although the Ming Dynasty did not have any trigonometric functions or moment calculations, the various strict dimensions of their workpieces could be perfectly matched with today's engineering."
Comments came out one after another, but no one answered the confused netizens, or in other words, each comment was actually a reply.
"Strange, if these really exist, why haven't many of them been handed down?"
"Perhaps it was in the later dynasty that even weird and obscene skills were not allowed to be circulated among the people. They were learning it themselves, but it would be of no use if they didn't promote it."
"I just don't know when the Chinese medicine books will be released. I looked at the catalog. There are a lot of Chinese medicine columns on it, right?
I really hope to see what lost medicines there are, for example, whether they can cure cancer."
"Go get some sleep upstairs. I can show you astronomy knowledge. Do you really think I can show you medical prescriptions?"
Even if there is a cure for cancer, it cannot be a panacea. It can at most treat one branch of a cancer. Cancer is too complicated to be cured by just one prescription."
"Haha, I'm afraid I didn't wake up upstairs. Yunnan Baiyao is a national medicine. How can I show you the prescription booklet? Aren't you afraid of being taken away by spies?"
In the midst of joy, two rubbings, totaling more than thirty volumes, made people more enthusiastic about the entire Yongle Dadian, and they also better understood the value of this document.
Many carpenters and folk craftsmen restored many models of wooden structures based on the guidance of carpenters' books.
Astronomers are testing the astronomical conjectures of the Ming Dynasty. The short videos are all the contents of two rubbings.
Different from the lively reality, the time and space of the Ming Dynasty will still be under the shadow of war.
Outer City of Jinzhou, Liaodong.
The scope of the Royal Army's siege was shrinking, and as the prisoners were being held in separate areas, or rather being rounded up and not allowed to run around, Marco finally freed up his men.
Now he is leading the military households in Shanhaiguan to coordinate with Sun Chuanting to encircle the east of Jinzhou to prevent the Jiannu from breaking through again like the first night.
"Master Sun, Jiannu has repaired the city wall that was blown up. The next step is to be trapped. When will we attack the city?"
"It's not urgent to attack the city. According to my observation, Jiannu doesn't have much patience anymore. They will continue to test them in the past few days. Let's first consume their elite troops to break through.
Yesterday, most of those who attacked were Xianglan Flags and fewer Zhenglan Flags. Is there something wrong with Zhenglan Flags or is it their strategy?"
Sun Chuanting was thinking about the post-war materials collected last night, and secretly guessed what Ji Erhalang and Hauge were thinking.
"Should the Jiannu slaves be preparing to break out in batches? After all, they must be quarreling internally.
Grand Scholar Sun, I heard that Your Majesty has allocated a full four million taels of silver this time, and what kind of 200 million military coupons have been allocated as a reward for killing the Jian slaves?"
"That's right, after the treatment in Jinzhou is completed, I will report to the Holy One and reward you based on your merits. Well, I estimate that hundreds of thousands for each guard station will be no problem.
There is still a chance to be knighted, and I feel that Mr. Ma, you will definitely have a chance."
"Really? That's great! Bachelor Sun, why don't you use that big speaker of yours to make an agreement with Commander-in-Chief Hong of the Inner City?
We will attack internally and externally to destroy the last bit of Jiannu as soon as possible, so that the brothers can return to their fields as soon as possible."
When Ma Ke heard Sun Chuanting's nod, he trembled with excitement. Four million silver, if he were given it, he would get 400,000, right?
He passed over and left 300,000 yuan to spend with the officers. Isn't that excessive?
The military households below each receive ten taels of silver, shouldn't they still be grateful to him?
"Don't worry. Attacking the city is a bad strategy and will only increase casualties. We can just stay here and defend it."
"But if we guard it like this, it will be difficult to transport food and grass, and it will cost a lot, which is not conducive to the long term. Moreover, if each guard station is not cultivated for a long time, it will also damage the foundation.
There are still so many Tatar prisoners, so I suggest that they be sent to the capital as soon as possible, so that His Majesty will be happy and less food and grass will be wasted."
Ma Ke wanted to go back to his warm and comfortable Shanhaiguan.
"You don't need to think about the food and grass issue, His Majesty has already prepared it.
Now we just need to continue to persuade the Jiannu in the city to surrender, and let the Jiannu shoot their own guns."
Sun Chuanting was still not in a hurry. Chongzhen's order was to wait for two days and then wait for Chongzhen to arrive before the decisive battle.
Therefore, unless there are major changes, he will not take the initiative to lift the blockade of Liaodong.
In the outer city of Jinzhou, Jierhalang, with his arm pierced by a flintlock gun hanging, came to the door of Hauge's temporary house for the fourth time today to curse.
"Hauge, come out here! You are no longer a member of the Aixinjueluo family. Why are you cowardly? You eggless piece of shit, do you still want to avenge the emperor?"
"Prince Zheng, I have already said that yesterday it was because my horse's hoof was stuck by a stone that I was unable to break through.
I really didn’t mean to back down on purpose! Didn’t I send blue flags and other elite soldiers to assist you?”
"Haug!!!!"
Jilharang's eyes were red. Yesterday, he blew open the city wall as planned and gathered with Haug to leave. However, Haug actually got cold feet.
And Hauge’s so-called assistance is actually a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers from other banners, including people under Hauge’s banner who make him unhappy.
These people successfully hindered Jilhalang, but it was not completely useless.
As soon as Jirharang rushed out of the broken wall, he discovered that Shanhaiguan General Soldiers were guarding the east area outside, and the Royal Army was patrolling in trucks.
He reacted quickly without hesitation and quickly retreated in time, but it was still too late. A squad of Royal Army soldiers on the truck shot him and his horse with their ultra-long range.
Those miscellaneous soldiers played their due role and successfully blocked the offensive of the Royal Army and Matsuyama Military Household, buying him time.
"Prince Zheng! Please calm down. Your Highness will come out immediately."
Haug's soldiers opened the door and appeared, then surrounded Jierhalang. When Jierhalang's soldiers saw the soldiers surrounding Jierhalang, they drew their swords and started a confrontation. The situation became tense.
"Prince Zheng! I just discovered the ambush of the Ming army in time. Yesterday, you ignored my call and insisted on breaking through the Ming army's defense line. I sent people to assist you.
Have you brought them back now? You came back alive and well, but what about them?
I just want to protect my brothers below, but what about them? Their Ama will not lose their own flesh and blood. Is this the king's fault?"
The soldiers surrounding the house gave way to the door, and Hauge, wearing Zhenglanqi armor and Huangtaiji's helmet on his head, walked out slowly.
What he said moved many Qing soldiers, or in other words, when people's hearts dispersed, Hauge's words made the Qing soldiers feel closer to him.
"Being greedy for life and afraid of death is greedy for life and afraid of death! The emperor should have let you die on the grassland in the first place.
Hauge, you are wearing the emperor's helmet now, but you are not seeking to fight. Are you worthy of the emperor? Are your actions now to kill me? "
