Chapter 1567 Suggestions

In winter, in October, Ding Chou and Lu Nan Jing Lue envoy Xiong Ben submitted a report, and the Luo clan rebelled.

Fan Rushuai's 3,000 new troops entered Chishui, and they were overwhelmed. Wherever they went, they attacked the local tyrants, divided their fields, opened warehouses to release grain, and promoted the virtues of the Song Dynasty.

Bai Xu of Daizhou sent the ancestral temple wizards to preach in the Luo counties, and the songs of "The Book of Songs: Shuo Shu" once again spread throughout the mountains and valleys of eastern Yunnan.

Luo was at his wits' end and wanted to surrender, but this time, the Song Dynasty refused.

The Song Dynasty had always implemented the policy of restraining the border states. It had become commonplace for the border states to rebel when they surrendered.

But this time, the people in the Song Dynasty demanded that Luo be severely punished. For no other reason than that he had stimulated the nerves of scholars. The government and the people at the same time demanded revenge for the scholar Liang Chen.

Liang Chen represents "benevolence", and Luo Qianyu represents "violence". Luo Qianyu tortured and killed Liang Chen, which challenged the ruling philosophy and bottom line of the Song Dynasty.

Even Lu Gongzhu angrily denounced Luo Qianyu's crimes at the joint meeting of the capital and provinces. If he can be forgiven for being violent and benevolent today, then what shame will the Song Dynasty have in the future, claiming to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety?!

Liang Chen's deeds have been widely spread by newspapers in the Song Dynasty. Yan Xiaoshan published a signed article "In Memory of Liang Boyujun" in the "Times": "Young people chanted poems and books, practiced etiquette and justice, and resisted violence with a weak body. It was the time at that time. Also, did he know that he could avoid it and acted bravely? Or did he know that he could avoid it and just ignored it?

The poem goes like, "Bo Ye is holding on to his death, and he is the pioneer of the king." Liang Jun called him "夤"!

If there is no retribution, how can it be tolerated by heaven and human nature?!"

The scholar-bureaucrats wrote poems and articles one after another praising Liang Chen, and Tai students organized collective sacrifices at Zhaozhong Temple, asking the court to inspire loyalty and punish rebellious ministers.

The public debate raged, and the imperial court finally issued an edict that Luo Qianyu had conspired to rebel, harmed the loyal and good, and was so evil that he would not be pardoned wherever he went.

Order Jiangmen Army Fan Ru to carry out a strict encirclement and suppression campaign to secure Luo Qianyu and send weapons to the capital. If the father and son are over 16 years old, they will be punished and executed in a canonical manner.

The imperial edict obviously made Fan Ru's military operations more difficult. Killing Luo Qianyu was like trampling an ant to death, but capturing him alive was still troublesome.

Fortunately, the mass base of this campaign was not bad, and with the use of new tactics, Fan Ru took the company and platoon as a unit and adopted tactics that spread everywhere, and quickly completely disintegrated the Luo family's force.

Fan Ru is a descendant of Fan Longshan, his military master is from the lineage of Su Lietun'an Army, and he has always been good at special tactics.

In the end, Fan Ru led his own troops to the Tuweizi where Luo Qianyu was guarding overnight, captured Luo Qianyu, and then stayed there until the army arrived, completely completing the combat mission.

The last chieftain autonomous region in the Song Dynasty, the Luo clan, was officially brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The imperial court appointed Xiong Ben as the military governor of Lunan, set up officials, and carried out the reform of native land and return to Liu.

The imperial court gave Fan Ru Baoyi Lang a posthumous gift because Fan Ru himself had no merit and could only be given a very low official rank, the ninth rank.

The system is the system, but there is also a human side outside the system.

The imperial court placed Fan Ru's shrine in Zhaozhong Temple, and at the same time found Fan Ru's wife who had fled to Yizhou, and ordered Bai Chen to send someone to escort her to Beijing.

Fan Ru's wife was granted the title of Lord of Jiang'an County and properly settled. Their two children were granted the title of Jiupin Digong Lang. According to the treatment of Zhonglie's orphans, the court would arrange for them to attend a charity primary school and support them until they reached adulthood at the age of fourteen.

Rebellion was the biggest crime in the Song Dynasty. According to the Dali Temple, Luo Qianyu's father, mother, and sons over the age of sixteen were all inevitably killed.

Gao Taotao still issued a special amnesty order. Luo Qianyu's mother, who was over seventy, was exempted from prosecution and ordered to live in Qianzhou and be supported by her relative Luo Shizhong.

The remaining eleven members of the Luo family should be hanged and beheaded!

In Su You's eyes, the destruction of Luo Shiman was self-destruction. The highlight of this rebellion was the new army's new tactics.

With companies and platoons divided into small groups, using portable weapons such as thunderbolts, ambushes cannons, and infantry cannons, dozens of people can attack states, destroy counties, and block key roads.

Fan Ru's tactics can be described as bold and innovative, which fully illustrates the new army's current combat skills and combat excellence.

In October, Ding Chou and Su You took the train back to Bianjing.

On the way, I got off the bus at the University Hall of Zhongmou Capital, because Su You paid great attention to several inventions of the School of Physics of the University Hall.

The first item is the gas engine. The entire machine occupies almost four cubic meters, and the huge flywheel is one and a half meters high.

When starting, manually turn the flywheel. There is an iron bolt on the gear at the other end of the flywheel coupling shaft. Every time it rotates, the iron bolt will drive the air inlet valve and the oil inlet valve, first input gas into the cylinder, and then compress it to the critical point.

When the diesel is injected, compression is continued to cause the diesel to spontaneously ignite, igniting the gas to generate power.

The gas engine is extremely powerful and can provide stable power to the four electric machine tools of the Songyang Arsenal, which is used for precision processing of blunderbuss tubes and gun barrels.

The biggest highlight of the entire machine is the invention of the fuel injector and the small iron bolt that serves as a paddle. In theory, the fuel injector can also be used in gasoline engines, and the small iron bolt can also be used as a circuit switch.

Although Chen Zhaoming refuted Su You's idea, he still agreed with Su You's statement. When he invented the gas engine, he was actually thinking about the structure of the gasoline engine.

This power equipment required a large amount of coal. Cai Jing, Zhao Man and Zhong Yi, who were in charge of the coal mining area, heard the news and immediately placed an order for the introduction.

Another invention is the cold storage.

After solving the power problem, as long as the condensation cycle and fan cooling are added, a huge cold storage can be created.

The condensing agent was actually invented very early, and to put it bluntly, it was just plain ammonia—it was ammonia that had been used in the Song Dynasty for many years.

Ammonia can be condensed at room temperature at three atmospheric pressures. The principle of the compressor is still the equidistant spiral principle developed by Su You. With the surging power, liquid ammonia can be produced by using the high-speed rotation of the equidistant screw rod.

Liquid ammonia absorbs a large amount of heat through the evaporator, turns into gas, is compressed into liquid by the compressor outdoors, and is sent indoors again to absorb heat. This is the working principle of the cold storage.

However, once this thing leaks, the pungent smell will be annoying to death, so the ice making plant and cold storage were finally arranged in the Zhongmou Grain Depot, which is just in need. During the peak season of cattle and sheep entering Beijing every autumn, in addition to making bacon sausages, they are now also

Finally, large-scale freezing and preservation is possible.

As for the ice used in the palace, we still take mountain springs and freeze them into ice cubes in winter, and then put them on the Kaifeng city wall.

Refrigeration is of great use in industry. Many chemical substances, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, need to be crystallized at low temperatures to increase production.

However, without suitable family power, it is still not possible for refrigerators to enter the home.

Suyou has proposed the idea of ​​a power plant to Chen Zhaoming and Tianshi, but there are still many technical obstacles.

The first thing Su You did after returning to Beijing was to report the gratifying results of the tour to Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu, and then submitted a large construction plan to the court.

Su You announced that the Song Dynasty would open another railway and a canal.

The new railway will connect Lanzhou along the Hexi Corridor to the ancient Yumen Pass, the westernmost territory of the Song Dynasty.

The canal leads from Hangzhou to Zhending Prefecture.

This memorial immediately caused an uproar in the court, and there was a lot of opposition.

However, this turmoil has also set a precedent.

In the past, petitions for such large-scale workers were usually slapped on the head by the central government and vigorously opposed by the local governments.

But this time, Su You's memorial received strong local approval, while the opposition mainly came from the court.

Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzu, and Fan Chunren all raised objections. They believed that the court had just recovered from the turmoil of the military service. Although the finances were abundant this year, it might be possible to spend a lot of money in a few years. Let the people be lenient for a while, just lenient for a while.

Wen Yanbo mainly considered military matters. With this railway and canal, would it be more convenient and faster for northern peoples to go south? If they can't resist it, it will be disaster.

Su Mingrun was obviously distracted, and he became a little carried away after a few victories. Although the new army had been trained, the running-in training had only been carried out for a year, so it was best to be conservative.

Furthermore, this year and next are critical years for the Yellow River, and the Suncun diversion project is the top priority, which is related to the millennium plan of whether the Yellow River can be tamed in the future.

Before the Sun Village project was completed and Hebei's military strength had not been proven, Wen and Lu firmly disagreed with Su You's actions.

There were also those in the court who agreed with Su You, such as Li Chang, the Minister of Household Affairs, because after statistics, he believed that the labor service was completely within the range that the court could bear.

And the problem of people's power is even more of a joke. Now everyone has long understood that in the past, there were a lot of complaints about labor service, which required the people to work voluntarily. In fact, as long as the wages were enough, there would be no people in the Song Dynasty who were unwilling to work!

There are also Cai Jing from Huainan, Shen Kuo from Hebei, and Zhao Man from Ningxia. They believe that these two passages will play a great role in controlling the Western Regions in the Song Dynasty and stimulating the development of Hebei.
