Chapter 328: The Decaying Frontier Army of Ming Dynasty
Several craftsmen died at the Donggong Military Research Institute. After the official took strict measures to block the news, no one in the government or the government in Gyeonggi noticed anything unusual.
But then a group of people from the Donggong Military Research Institute were taken to prison by the Jinyi Guards.
That night, the Jin Yiwei cavalry went out in force, cordoned off several teahouses and inns, captured several foreign spies, sent them to prison, and interrogated them all night. Early the next morning, the Jin Yiwei sent out a guard force and went straight to Beibeilin Temple.
It's a pity that the teahouse and inn were sealed off last night and the news was leaked.
The Vimalakirti Pavilion in North Berlin Temple has been deserted.
Yu Kang, who worked at the Academy of Engineering Sciences, led two Taoist priests who were skilled in alchemy and set up a chemical engineering team to research a medicinal skin according to Zhu Jianji's needs.
Yu Kang and others don't know what the specific use is.
His Royal Highness just told them to use the theories and knowledge they had mastered during alchemy to mix various powders according to performance requirements, and then form a series of products with different combinations and ratios, and then melt this series of products at high temperature
.
Observe the drug skin after melting at high temperature to see which kind of drug skin can form a sealed state.
This also costs money.
But as long as it's successful, it's worth the money.
Large war machines, whether they are battleships or tanks of the King of Land War, all require the use of welding technology. The difficulty of electric welding technology is the welding machine and the welding rod. The electric welding machine mainly involves the conversion problem between current and voltage, and the welding rod is purely
Chemical engineering and materials science issues.
After Zhao Chuanjia and Zhu Bi met in the East Palace, they did not wait for the beginning of spring. After a few days, they hurriedly said goodbye to their families and hurried to Leizhou with the materials prepared for them by His Highness the Crown Prince.
His Highness the Prince gave them a new plan for producing magnets by striking iron blocks with lightning.
The difference from the past is that some steps have been added.
For example, iron blocks need to be painted.
Wrap copper wire.
As for the purpose of doing this, Zhao Chuanjia and Zhu Bi didn't understand, so they asked His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness also smiled dryly and said that he didn't understand the theory behind it, so he just followed it.
The sensational Menda Lulu prison escape case also came to an end before the new year.
The Jin Yiwei pursued them with all their strength. Menda and Lu Lu panicked and headed for Juyong Pass, which is the closest to the capital. They tried to escape from Juyong Pass to outside the pass. The Jin Yiwei surrounded and intercepted them and annihilated them all at Juyong Pass.
But soon, the Jin Yiwei general in charge of the pursuit discovered that he had been fooled.
Menda and Lu Lu, whom they had been chasing for many days, turned out to be fake!
No one knows where the real Menda and Lu Lu went.
Including Chen Ruyan.
The world has evaporated.
After the news came back to the East Palace, Prince Zhu Jianji quickly issued an order: strictly investigate the Jinyi Guards who were chasing Menda Lulu. However, the Tiqi who protected Menda and Lulu during the pursuit and indulged Menda and Lulu were sent to imperial prison according to the Ming Dynasty.
Dispose according to the law, kill those who deserve to be killed, and exile those who deserve to be exiled.
At the same time, continue to order the Jin Yiwei to detect the traces of Menda and Lu Lu around the capital.
…
…
Outside Shanhaiguan and within Liaodong.
Dozens of riders walked slowly along the official road.
Looking back, you can still vaguely see the majestic Shanhaiguan City, like a black hungry wolf dormant on the snowy field.
It was already the middle of winter, and the ground outside the pass had already been covered with heavy snow. Apart from these dozens of riders, there was no one else on the official road.
Chen Ruyan tightened her mink fur cotton hat tightly and muttered that it was much colder than the capital. She couldn't help but look back at Shanhaiguan. The city gate had already been closed.
Couldn't help but sigh secretly.
In these years, the Jurchens only wandered around Liaodong and did not really attack Shanhaiguan. Therefore, there were few battles in Shanhaiguan. I never thought that the Ming army in Shanhaiguan had fallen to such a low level!
When a group of people left the customs in the coldest month of winter, the Shanhaiguan guard was not a fool, so how could he not know that there was something fishy going on.
Immediately sent a Qianhu down to investigate.
Li Gunaha used money to buy the road and took nearly 10,000 taels of banknotes. He said to the general, "Look, this is our customs clearance document. Please be accommodating. I will give it to the general again when the spring comes and the flowers bloom."
Liaodong specialty.
That Qianhu and Li Gunaha should be old acquaintances, and they understand each other well.
Report to the guard immediately.
But the guard was not stupid.
As a border guard, it is normal that he has never seen Lu Lu and Menda, and it is normal that he has never seen Chen Ruyan, but the combination of this group of people in front of him is a bit strange. Li Gunaha went outside the border to lead a group of unimportant Han people out of the border?
Are you holding on after eating enough?
Reminiscent of what happened to the Jinyi Guards in Gyeonggi Province, the guard guessed the identities of these people.
Such a good opportunity...
Of course he won't miss it.
So he came down to interrogate him in person, and Li Gunaha said that Chen Ruyan and the others were family members of a military household in Liaodong. They went to the pass to sell furs in exchange for winter supplies before the snow fell. Because Jin Yiwei set up checkpoints everywhere, which delayed a lot of time, they left the customs late.
.
The guard general then sneered and muttered to himself, saying that since the Jinyi Guards were so strict with their investigation, those who escaped from the imperial prison must have had trouble escaping, and they didn't know where they were hiding now.
If the human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant, it is like a lion opening its mouth wide.
Ligunaha has dealt with the guard for many years and knows his temperament well.
But Ligunaha also felt sorry for money, and after a while of implicit and humble bargaining, he had to offer another 40,000 taels of treasure.
Chen Ruyan witnessed the whole process.
He really didn't expect that the Shanhaiguan guards would be so arrogant and dare to trade power and money with the Jurchens, let alone let the imperial prisoners go for fifty thousand taels of treasure!
How audacious and stupid.
No wonder the Jurchens have developed so well in recent years, and these corrupted border guards have contributed a lot to it.
This is true for Shanhaiguan, but what about Liaodong Dusi...
The strategic focus of the Ming Dynasty has been in Mobei in recent years, focusing on building the Great Wall defense line in the Xuanfu and Datong areas, and was slightly less focused on Shanhaiguan.
The guards at Shanhaiguan are all bad, and the Liaodong capital will only be even worse.
Li Gunaha, who was riding alongside Chen Ruyan, looked at Chen Ruyan and said, "Chen Shangshu, did you not expect that the Ming Dynasty's frontier army had fallen into ruin? Do you think that the Ming Dynasty's frontier army was hopeless?"
Chen Ruyan sneered, "They are just some moths obsessed with personal interests."
Li Gunaha's eyes were a little strange, showing both hatred and respect. "Sometimes I really don't understand these frontier soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, this situation does not only occur in Shanhaiguan, from Shanhaiguan to Juyongguan, and even includes Liaodong Dusi, as long as
Without a war, the border troops of the Ming Dynasty could accept this kind of deal, but once there was a war, the Liaodong Dusi and Shanhaiguan defenders would turn their backs on me and use their swords against me, the Jurchens, with no mercy at all."
Chen Ruyan was a little surprised.
According to Li Gunaha, the Ming border troops can accept power-for-money transactions and make money from the Jurchens, but if there is a war between the two sides, the Ming border troops will not show mercy?
Asked: "Why is this happening?"
Li Guna laughed loudly and said sarcastically: "There is a saying in the Central Plains, why don't you eat minced meat? It refers to you officials in the capital. You have enough food and clothing in the capital, but you don't know the sufferings of the people."
Chen Ruyan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
