Liu Yuliang then stood up and said, "Emperor, this time the top martial arts scholar Qin Yiming led the Huguang army to defeat the bandits many times. It was the emperor who knew the wise eyes and used people in an extraordinary way. This time, the Jianghuai defeated the bandits and broke the siege of Nanyang. The first contribution should be the emperor!"

Liu Yuliang's words made Chongzhen very useful. Everyone felt disgusted by the horse, and they despised Liu Yuliang, but Chongzhen heard it and had a smile on his face.

"But Lord Qin also serves loyally. I suggest that Lord Qin be promoted to the deputy governor of the former army's Protectorate, and be awarded the earl and be transferred to the capital!"

Get that evil star to the capital? That's all! Zhang Zhifa, Kong Yunzhen and others changed their faces drastically, and they looked at Liu Yuliang angrily.

"Hmph, I want to get a title with a small amount of merit? I objected!" Zhang Zhifa knelt down and said angrily.

"I also objected!" Yang Sichang said immediately.

Everyone was surprised, and Yang Sichang also jumped out to object!

Chongzhen thought this proposal was good. He felt that no one was available to him, but Yang Sichang opposed it, so he wanted to listen.

"Yang Aiqing, why do you object?"

Not only did Chongzhen not understand, but no one understood, but the one who did not understand the least was Zhang Zhifa and other groups. In their opinion, Qin Yiming and Yang Sichang should have a good relationship, and they also supported Yang Sichang into the pavilion, but today Yang Sichang did not repay his kindness and fulfill Qin Yiming, which surprised them.

Yang Sichang continued to say in the strange eyes of everyone: "Emperor, the emperor wanted to transfer the three-sided governor Hong Chengchou to the capital before, but I have opposed it. Today, I have the same reasons for opposing Qin Yiming to the capital. Now there is Li Zicheng in Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai in Jianghuai. However, our court also has generals such as Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi to suppress it, so Shanxi in Shaanxi is generally not hindered, and the same is true for Jianghuai. If General Qin is transferred to the capital, who can suppress the rioters? Once the rioters are overwhelmed, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Zhang Zhifa rarely agreed to Yang Sichang, and immediately shouted: "Yes, Your Majesty, Jianghuai is more important than Shaanxi. Jianghuai is a place where the court pays taxes, so it must not be messed up, otherwise..."

Zhang Zhifa’s reason was also very appropriate. Everyone understands that the JAC is the granary and tax source of the court. If the JAC is lost, the court will be finished sooner or later.

Chongzhen was embarrassed, but he had to give him a reward, so he asked Liu Yuliang, "Sir Liu, what should you do?"

Liu Yuliang also had a embarrassed expression. In fact, everyone felt like a mirror in their hearts. What Liu Yuliang mentioned today was actually what Qin Yiming asked the court for through Liu Yuliang's mouth.

Although Qin Yiming is far less important than Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in Chongzhen's heart, Qin Yiming can also be compared with Zu Dashou. Now Qin Yiming is a general in the garrison. As long as he is here, Chongzhen will be relieved! Just like Zu Dashou in Jinzhou, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi.

Yang Sichang said, "Your Majesty, I propose to grant Master Qin the Governor of Huguang, and to the management of the former army's governor's office. At the same time, he is appointed De'an Bo and also serves as the general of Huguang."

In fact, Zhang Zhifa and Yang Sichang had a common purpose, that is, Qin Yiming could not leave Huguang. Although their respective reasons were different, everyone did not value the title of Grand Governor. Since the Ming Dynasty had the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Army had become a cold yamen, and it was just to manage some daily small matters in the garrison. Especially these literati, they despise the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Literature has always had a sense of superiority in front of military generals. Even if the generals had higher official positions than them, they were still controlled by these literati.

Chongzhen nodded, thinking that this proposal was OK. Although the governor was not a real power position, he was considered a second-rank local official in terms of rank! However, even the chief general of the former army, I am afraid that no one in the court would take the civil servants seriously, so there was no objection. Now everyone is waiting for Liu Yuliang's reply.

"I agree!" Liu Yuliang expressed his opinion.

In fact, Liu Yuliang did not expect that it would be so smooth to win a general governor of Huguang for Qin Yiming. Maybe Kang Shengnan's strategy of asking for a price was effective. In addition, Yang Sichang said that it was powerful and added weights to Chongzhen. But the most important thing is that everyone despises the Governor's Office too much. Even Liu Yuliang himself also felt that this empty title was useless.

"Okay, very good. Qin Aiqing is my minister and has not disappointed my high hopes. He should reward him very much. He immediately issued an edict to promote Qin Aiqing to the governor of Huguang and be named De'an Bo!" Chongzhen ordered happily.

After half a month of meditation and hard work, with the joint efforts of the people in Pingli Fort, Qin Yiming finally created a simple prototype of a steam engine.

Due to the limitations of conditions, Qin Yiming could only achieve this. Fortunately, the principle of the steam engine was very simple, so he tried to make one by himself. Moreover, Qin Yiming also found Master Tian, ​​Old Man Zhao and others, thinking that after they understood the working principle, they could gradually improve and improve it in the future.

When Mr. Hu looked at the machine in front of him, the shape of the stove connected to the ordinary farmers was similar to that used by a stove. He was very curious.

"Mr. Qin, this is a machine that can make the huge iron wheels rotate? Why does it have a stove? Can this thing work?"

Qin Yiming didn't know if it was possible, nor did he know whether it was OK. "I don't know if it's OK. Let's talk about it later. Butler Hu, let someone pour water into this iron bucket and then seal it!"

"Yes, sir, you two, go and bring a few buckets of water!" Butler Hu started to arrange it.

"Put some wood here, burn the fire to boil the water here soon." Qin Yiming also began to command.

The fire was lit soon, but the machine was motionless, which disappointed the viewer.

"Qin Mang, is your method OK? I have seen a water truck that can rotate when you boil the water, and you can make the iron wheel turn?" Song Xiance mocked him while smoking a dry tobacco.

"Mr. Song, please be calm!" Chen Daquan said.

"I'm so impatient. It's been half an hour. If I can turn, I'd already rotated! Go and go!"

"You!" Seeing that Song Xiance had such a bad temper, Chen Daquan had no intention of continuing to speak. Seeing that the father and son of the Zhao family beside him were really paying attention, he asked, "Master Zhao, you are an expert, can you do it by watching things?"

I didn't know if I was looking for the old man, and shook my head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

"Father, I think it's possible."

"Just, how strong can this water be when it boils? It is possible to push a pot lid, but the iron wheel weighs at least a hundred kilograms..."

Click!

Just when everyone was not optimistic, the balance rod connecting the flywheel and the cylinder moved!

"It's moving!"

"I'm moving? No! I'm dazzled?" Butler Hu said to himself.

Kick!

"It's moving, it's moving!"

Everyone was moved. The cylinder was moving up and down, and the balance rod was moving up and down like a jumper, and it kept spinning around with the huge flywheel.

Qin Yiming was very happy and ordered: "Add more wood and burn the fire a little more. Oh, it would be better if there was coal!"

"Look, when the water in the iron pipe boils, the water vapor flows into the cylinder with the small pipe. When the water vapor reaches a certain level, the object here is pushed up, and moves with the balance rod. Finally, the big flywheel also rotates. The reason is that simple!" Qin Yiming pointed at each component while explaining in front of the steam engine.

Master Tian and Master Shan nodded, and Old Man Zhao's eyes were shining. He thought he was the most professional, but he didn't expect that something that he thought was impossible happened in front of him.

"Mr. Qin is really very wise. Such machines can be made. From now on, our arsenal's machine tool is connected to this machine. Wouldn't we make a lot of speed?! It's amazing!" The engineers all gave thumbs up, and looked at the big flywheel that was turning faster and faster, and they all admired them.

After listening to Qin Yiming's explanation, Song Xiance still didn't believe that the facts in front of him were true. The water vapor actually had such strength, which was stronger than the strength of the strong. He got closer and observed it. Looking at the pipe that was leaving the hot water vapor, he couldn't help but touch it.

"Ah, it's so hot, my hand!" Song Xiance screamed, and his whole palm was instantly burned red.

"Mr. Song, be careful, the water vapor temperature is very high! Look at this water pipe..."

Qin Yiming looked at it and saw the flywheel spinning faster and faster, so fast that he was afraid that the cylinder began to turn red!

"No, it's time to relieve pressure. It's over, no pressure relief valve is used!"

No one understood what Qin Yiming was saying. Looking at Song Xiance's red palm, everyone felt that the machine was very dangerous and could not be approached. Moreover, such a large iron wheel was rotating now. I am afraid that even ten big men would not be able to do it.

"No, this thing might explode, everyone run away!" Qin Yiming saw that the cylinder was getting redder and he felt more and more uneasy, so he shouted.

No one else knew if the cylinder was made of iron, and it exploded? It was impossible. But seeing that Qin Yiming had run out, they also ran behind their butts.

Bang!

Not long after running out, the steam engine really exploded! Boiling water splashed on the ground and the red-hot iron fragments fell all over the ground, making a mess.

The huge explosion alarmed many people from Pingli Fort, but not everyone can come in this arsenal, and many people gathered outside to watch the fun.

"Is anyone injured? Everyone is okay!" Qin Yiming asked worriedly.

Everyone had different expressions, some were afraid, a little excited, and some were in pain.

"Mr. Qin Mang, what did you invent? Who dares to use it?" Song Xiance's hand was in pain and was still in shock.

"Mr. Qin, it's amazing. This thing is so powerful. If it is improved properly, it will definitely be reused in the future!" Old man Zhao said excitedly. Although this semi-finished product seems dangerous, there is a lot of room for improvement, and he is very interested.
Chapter completed!
