Chapter 506 Development



Ten years ago, Chengfeng discovered Zeng Jincheng, a genius in electromagnetics, and he also achieved some research results in the past ten years.

But his energy was limited after all. After Yinreng discovered that his progress was slow, he asked him to compile his research results into teaching materials and teach in middle schools and the Shangshufang in the capital.

Select some good students to assist him in his research.

What surprised Yinreng was that Zeng Jincheng had actually selected five talented students from thousands of students, and now they have made an electric motor in the laboratory.

The next step is to study how to generate and store electricity, and then use electricity to improve people's livelihood.

But that should be a very long time in the future, and Yinreng was not sure whether he could see the neon-lit street scene while he was still alive.

After returning to Beijing to pay homage to Emperor Kangxi ten years ago, Yinzhi, Yinzhen and Yinxiang stayed in Kyoto for only two months before loading a large amount of arms and transporting them to the Middle East.

The Tsarist Russia's abandonment of the Far East was also largely related to the war there.

After all, the Russian royal court was no fool. They quickly analyzed from some information that the Qing Dynasty was providing arms to the Middle East, so the Tsar sent envoys to the Qing Dynasty to purchase them.

Yinreng knew that Tsarist Russia started to prosper at this point in time, so after some consideration, he decided to cooperate with the emperor.

But the prerequisite is that he must give up large areas of permafrost in the Far East.

The Tsar quickly agreed to his proposal.

In the following seven years, the imperial court obtained a large amount of coal, iron ore and other resources from Tsarist Russia, but the price it paid was the obsolete firearms.

Dai Zi, the first firearms genius, passed away shortly after Yinreng ascended the throne, but he left behind many students, and with Yinreng's financial support, the weaponry has now been upgraded to the fifth generation.

Moreover, most of the people who studied the gunpowder ratio were geniuses in chemistry. With the assistance of Zeng Jincheng's electromagnetic technology, many previously incredible chemical reactions were presented to the public.

The weapons that Yinreng sold were developed when Dai Zi was alive. Even if there were geniuses in firearms in Tsarist Russia or the Middle East, it would take time for them to reach the level of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, those places have been plagued by wars for years, and they cannot even provide a stable research environment and material supply.

By the time they catch up with the Qing Dynasty's current progress, the Qing Dynasty might already be studying how to go to the sky, into the ground, and into the sea.

So Yinreng didn't feel worried at all.

What he was really guarding against was England.

If he remembered correctly, people in England had already started sailing around the world and exploring the New World.

But they would never have imagined that someone would discover those continents before them and begin to mine and dig up the local resources.

I don’t know what kind of expression the English would have when they found that almost all the places they set their eyes on had Qing troops stationed there.

Tsk…

It should be very exciting.

Yinreng speculated with some malice.

After the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia established cooperation, Yinzhi and others had no intention of stopping providing arms to the natives of the Middle East. However, they followed Yin'er's suggestion and disguised themselves as arms smugglers.

Although Tsarist Russia knew that they were sent by the Qing emperor, Yinreng did not admit it, and they had no way to do anything to Yinreng.

Moreover, they did not dare to break off cooperation because if they cut off cooperation in anger, their advantage in the Middle East battlefield would quickly be reversed, which was a scene that the Tsarist Russian military and civilians did not want to see.

The Qing Dynasty relied on business and the money it plundered to ensure that more than 60% of the people had enough food and clothing.

As for the rest who still have not enough food and clothing, Yinreng is still working hard.

Last year, Yinzhi, feeling that his age was no longer sufficient to support his wanderings outside, completely ended his military career in the Middle East and returned to Kyoto to retire.

According to the calculation of this era, he is already in his early sixties.

Yinreng naturally supported his return with both hands and feet.

Several military academies were built on the left and right sides, and Yinreng planned to let Yinzhi teach the children.

He's idle anyway, so he might as well make the best use of it.

He started fighting on the battlefield when he was a teenager. Any war he experienced in his life can be a very vivid lesson.

However, Yinzhi has returned, and Yinzhen and Yinxiang will have to retire from the front line in a few years, so Yinreng is also considering the issue of their successors.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to take over from the person originally chosen by Yinzhi. Except for Yuanbao, Hongsheng and Hongwang, the other brothers had many children in their families, and it was not difficult to pick out a few with military talent.

When talking about military talent, we have to mention Fourteen.

Fourteenth's talent in leading troops was actually better than Yinxiang's, but he stood on the wrong side, so Yinreng never let him touch military power again.

Now, ten years have passed, and his accumulated merits have successfully earned him the title of Prince.

But for Yinxiang, who was more than a year older than him, his title of Prince was not so impressive.

Yinxiang is now a prince.

Even Yinlu, whom he looked down upon the most, was promoted to prince by Yinreng.

However, apart from Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinsi, Yin'er and Hongsheng, Yinreng had no intention of promoting his other brothers to the title of Iron-Hat Prince.

Yinreng also paved the way for the children that Kangxi later had with the Han concubine.

In fact, Yinreng privately felt that his younger brothers were all extremely intelligent.

And he is more flexible than other brothers of Manchu descent.
