In the autumn of 1704, an incident that made many generals in the northwest of the Ming Empire happened. Ren Di led the newly formed North China Legion, a total of 100,000 people to North China. He entered the Dabie Mountains and swept the achievements of the five elite armies of the Empire within two years, which made the existing imperial soldiers feel fear for no reason.

Cao Chengyu, the general of the Ming army in Shanxi of the Ming Dynasty, was very troubled by this and cursed angrily at the house: "Aren't you gang of rebels going to rebel? Go to Nandu, why are you going here?" The Cao Chengyu's military general family, according to Hai Song's style of preserving celebrities at that time, was the grandson of Cao Bianjiao. His family was prominent. However, no matter how prominent aristocratic family was, he had to have some thoughts when he was in this generation. At present, it was obvious that this world was in chaos. According to the Republican Army's current posture of mobilizing farmers everywhere, it was very similar to the Yellow Turbans, Huang Chao, and Li Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong seventy years ago.

Can the Ming Dynasty survive this disaster? After the destruction of the 100,000 imperial army in East China, the generals of the Ming Dynasty had their own little thoughts and were ready to face the troubled times. As for Cao Yucheng, he liked to watch the drama of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the past few months. That is, how the Li family of the Longxi military group gradually ascended the throne to establish the prosperous Tang Dynasty after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

According to the situation of many Ming generals in the north, the Republican Army has now taken over Jiangbei and Hubei. Not only can we look at the Nandu across the river, but the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River are in the hands of the Republican Army. It is almost like taking over Nandu, killing the emperor and overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, removing the righteousness above the generals in various places of the Ming Dynasty, and then everyone can be legitimately warlords.

However, for Cao Yucheng, the dream is full and the reality is skinny. With Ren Di's arrival in Henan Province with his army, 100,000 troops stationed troops in the Central Plains area south of the Yellow River to reform, and it was obvious that he would expand northward. Cao Yucheng was stupid. Shouldn't you fight Nandu first and ascend to the dragon throne to announce the success of the rebellion? Why do you come to the north first to find trouble? Rebels, you don't play according to common sense.

And it was Ren Di who came. You have built so many fertile lands in the east, but why did you give up the base and run over by another group of thieves? For Ren Di, the opponent who annihilated the 100,000 Imperial Army on the front battlefield, it was not just Cao Yucheng from Shanxi, but Zuo Peng, the warlord from the northwest, also had a headache.

Switching the camera, on the large island of Sumatra, Nanyang, in the Pentagon of the Nanyang Military Region of the Haisong Nanyang Military Region, Zhang Shitian, wearing Taoist robe, walked into the core office of the building. Speaking of the building's architectural structure, the veterans of the Haisong people had a special liking for the Pentagon as a military center building when they arrived in the Ming Dynasty. They first built one in Hainan, then one in Nanyang, and then one in Australia and America. The Pentagon has become Haisong's iconic military command building in the world.

The head of Changsheng Chonghai Song Nanyang Fleet. He holds the military transfer power of Haisong, and this position is very important and is rotated by veterans. Changsheng Chong is a veteran of Haisong. As for Zhang Shitian, who entered Changsheng Chong's office, is also a veteran. He is now a veteran in Haisong. The leader of Tiandaoism, Tiandaoism, advocates that heaven and earth naturally tolerate everything, and the way of heaven is all in heaven. Well, this sect has penetrated into all aspects of Haisong. When Haisong was conquering global colonies, it had a huge ideological and educational effect on the local people, effectively dismantling the hostility of local religions to the rule of Haisong. This religion was too high as soon as it was launched. Other religions, such as the sun god and the earth god, could not cover the way of heaven and earth.

This religion also penetrated into the army. Every Haisong army has a priest to solve the psychological problems of military soldiers. However, the effect is also obvious, and the punishment is carried out on behalf of heaven and punish heresy.

Now Hai Song is no longer able to ban this religion, because once it is banned, there will be chaos in its thoughts. The cohesion of the state will decline. However, the position of the leader of the Tiandao religion was founded by a veteran named Zhang in the early days of Hai Song Cao's founding. This guy had already engaged in religious work before traveling through time. After coming to this plane, he did not have the constraints of the country. Soon, according to Hai Song's will, he created a religion that was absolutely standard in the 21st generation. But who can say that he is a cult now? This religion maintains the rule of the Hai Song country. Anyone who is conducive to the rule of the ruling class is not a cult.

The choice of the leader's position was also extremely rigorous. First, the leader's direct line was selected by the leader's direct line, and then the golden bottle was drawn and finally crowned. To some extent, the elder of Hai Song was the most successful among the elders of Zhang. Although he did not occupy any large industries, it affected the thoughts of two-fifths of the world, and the influence of religion was still conquering the West. The Vatican wanted to reject Tiandaoism, but Hai Song found an excuse to fight several religious wars. As a result, the Western religious headquarters revised the Bible. God and Pangu in the East were one, and God had multiple projections on the earth.

Seeing the leader coming, Chang Shengchong asked naturally on his face: "The Taoist Master has returned from the mainland?" Chang Shengchong and Zhang Shitian have been having a big time since childhood. They have a good relationship. Zhang Shitian put the whisk in his hand and said, "I returned without success."

Chang Shengchong said, "The missionary was not going well?" Zhang Shitian said, "The emerging forces on the mainland seem to be absolutely atheists." Chang Shengchong sneered and said, "These guys who risked beheading are naturally not afraid of heaven or earth."

Zhang Shitian said, "The person I saw was afraid, he was afraid of dead people, that is, his dead comrades." Chang Shengchong said, "Dust returns to dust, the heavenly way of reincarnation, doing evil and doing good. All are retribution. Haven't he become your believer?"

Zhang Shitian said: "What he is afraid of is not the way of heaven. He is very arrogant and thinks that their group of people can decide everything. This is why I came to you." Chang Shengchong: "Are you going to use force now?" Zhang Shitian said: "Since you can't persuade him to redeem, you can only use other methods."

Chang Shengchong said, "Can't cooperate economically?" Zhang Shitian shook his head and said, "If economic penetration is infiltrated, I can naturally influence it with patience, but the one I met wants to follow the path we have walked. He has clearly stated that missionary is not allowed and tariffs will rise. Shelving the dispute and the peace agreement that coexists with the Ming Dynasty will ignore it. This uncontrolled behavior must be stopped."

Chang Shengchong said, "The current consciousness of the Elderly Council is to fight a proxy war first, just like fifty-eight years ago." Zhang Shitian shook his head and said, "It seems that the Elderly Council has not regarded this emerging power as a real opponent." After pausing for a moment, Zhang Shitian added: "Sooner or later, it will suffer a loss."

Chang Shengchong handed a document in his hand to Zhang Shitian's table. Zhang Shitian looked around and Chang Shengchong said leisurely, "The market of the Ming Dynasty suddenly lost control. The Elderly Association attached great importance to it from the beginning. Now the market recovery is hopeless. The Elderly Association is already preparing for both hands, supporting the Ming forces in the first place, and the second part is to prepare us for the second. We have already started to mobilize troops."

At this time, the South China Sea ironclad ships were slowly docked at the port of Hainan Island leased by Haisong. Then twenty large transport ships arriving at the port, and teams of soldiers wearing green camouflage uniforms jumped off the ship with steel guns. At the same time, various types of machinery were transported down. This kind of thing not only happened on Hainan Island, but the military power of Haisong, the treasure island of China, was also gathering. This decision would never be made in the first generation of veterans, but the feelings of the veterans to the mainland are no longer the feelings of the first generation of veterans like the ones I grew up in. The land of the Ming Dynasty is too large, and the forces it has nurtured are too threatening to Haisong, and should be divided into several parts and weakened.

But the new generation of veterans in this plane do not know and have not experienced it. If it were the first generation of veterans, they would understand how terrifying the determination of this civilization that had been growing on the East Asian continent for thousands of years was to explode after sinking to the bottom. Although there are information from later generations, the veterans sitting in Hai Song now have different worldviews from their ancestors.

Lens switching

In the Central Plains, Henan Province, Ren Di's first feeling about this land is flat, and the second feeling is that as long as there is sufficient precipitation, it is definitely a good place for mechanized agriculture. This land also has a name called the Central Plains. In this large plain area, there is a railway that directly runs through the connection between northern Anhui and Zhengzhou. Steam trains keep importing industrial products here all night long, iron agricultural tools, steam tractors, fertilizers, etc. If you want to serve this land well, investment is necessary. Mechanized operations and steam machinery will really sink into mud if it breaks down in the south. When it is placed in the northern Anhui area, the high and low terrain will cause frequent failures of the steam engine. Only here is the steam engine adopts a well field system. Even if the steam tractor breaks down in that field, it can be repaired with convenient transportation parts from the road to divide the well field, or directly dragged to the road to transport.

The extension of the railway allows the emerging industrial power of Huaibei to quickly extend to the battlefield here. Huaibei also created the first steam locomotive. The steam locomotive looks old-fashioned and has a black iron color. The can with one meter diameter in front is burned by coal and heated water to turn it into steam force.

Things in the world are all from simple to complicated. The picture of the highest level of power machinery that Ren Di has seen is the turbofan engine of the fourth generation engine, with various indescribable metal conduits on both sides of the engine. Not to mention these, even car engines look like various oil routes and wires are dazzling.

Now that I have built my own steam locomotive, the conduit is finally as simple as Ren Di can understand. Iron pipes are connected to the steam boiler. The air pressure in the steam engine is connected in pressure in these iron pipes. Part of these iron pipes extends into the cab of the steam locomotive. The iron ring valve structure next to the water meter. Among these iron pipes, in the cylindrical structure of the pipeline, the red iron rings are fan-shaped metal parts. The fan-shaped metal parts can be easily blocked by rotating to a certain angle, so that the gaps between the fan-shaped parts are aligned with the ventilation ports in the pipeline, so that the pipes can be connected.

These valves regulate the pressure inside the boiler through the pipes that connect the steam boiler. In the operating room, the pressure gauge that connects the boiler's air pressure through the pipes indicates the pressure index of the steam boiler. Clang, such a large piece of metal locomotive, driven by the controllable steam force, the weight that horses cannot compare in comparison along the train lane. The power of the flame finally becomes machine energy released by the action of water. This brute force converted by natural chemical energy is a force that cannot be carried in the body of protein animals.

In the primitive era, no natural material could carry the power of human muscles. In powerful stone tools, when they were hit by human muscles, the stone materials would be broken. Steel appeared and gradually could withstand the power of humans. Iron pliers and hammers opened mountains and carved stones, and mining quarries could allow humans to live in a solid city wall.

Now steel begins to carry higher-level energy sources. Mechanical energy converted from combustion. Combustion chemistry class is defined as violent chemical reactions. The violent release of chemical energy does not exist in carbon-based life at all. This is also a taboo for carbon-based life.
