Tianjin, Beiyang Military Government Office.

The most important thing about the Ming Dynasty in the seventh year of Wanli was that the cabinet decided to select a secondary assistant every two years in the future, and the three censors visited the world, and the first cabinet member of the thirteen provinces in Nanjing was Zhang Han.

Even with Zhang Juzheng's cleverness, it is difficult to meticulously understand the changes in the world, and he can only realize it later.

In the early seventh year of Wanli, when Chen Mu left behind the five-year plan for Northern Zhili to complete half of the plan, the imperial villages, Wangzhuang and the chief officials of various prefectures, prefectures and counties inevitably mentioned one thing in the official documents submitted to the court or in private greetings - the black smoke on the coast of Northern Zhili all year round.

Black smoke is not just black smoke.

In the eighth year of the emergence of the steam engine, with the Beiyang Military Port in Tianjin as the center, towards Zunhua, Jizhen, to the east, to Shanhaiguan, Yongping Prefecture, and to Laizhou, Shandong, a massive change swept everywhere without everyone's notice.

And it has truly made the popularization of the industry in Northern Zhili, with a scale exceeding that of Guangdong. The direct cause of all this was not human resources, but natural disasters.

Tianjin is located below the Jiuhe River. Last year, the fierce sea river flooded, making Tianjin a terrain, almost destroying all farmland, grain farms and increasingly prosperous factories, the newly developed oil pressing industry, and the textile industry were destroyed, and the glass factories that started were destroyed, with countless casualties in the early stages and missing.

Even the recruiters who rushed to the Beiyang Military Government office were affected by the flood, and a whole new recruitment of Thousand Revenue Department disappeared without a trace under the flood.

The plague and famine that followed took the lives of thousands of people.

This is the result of the imperial court's efforts to rescue disasters.

The Beiyang Banner Army dispatched all fourteen affected counties to maintain public order. The Nanyang Military Prefecture transported 6 million stones of rice and grain in Beijing was allocated by the emperor to the victims. The Beiyang Medical Academy, along with doctors and more than 1,700 trainees, issued military orders to form 264 medical teams to various places.

When the disaster ended, the flag army opened a cemetery under the Jiguo Tower, buried 67 coffins and 440 tombs of clothing.

Some doctors can't even keep their hair, and only a few items left in the tombs that are commonly used in military hospitals.

Grief is inevitable, and livelihoods must continue. The merchants were anxious to recruit skilled craftsmen and craftsmen from all over the place, but they were displaced everywhere within a radius of hundreds of miles. How could they achieve their wishes in a short time? Everyone worked together and worked together.

On the one hand, he sent someone to the best craftsman in Nanjing to hire graduates at a high price, and on the other hand, he paid a lot of money to buy the latest steam engine - the Huode Star Lord Type A in the sixth year of Wanli.

This name was personally conferred by the emperor, but it was not the little guy in the Forbidden City who ran around the yard outside the Qianqing Palace when he was burning. The guy's name has been changed seven times later. He pulled the emperor to catch up with King Lu and walked down.

In the sixth year of Wanli, the A steam engine of the Huode Star Lord is a real big guy. In the sixth year of Wanli, the model of the Huode Star Lord in the middle is the name, and the last A type means that it is the largest shape of the four finalizations in this year.

More than 600 parts of the size are all assembled, with a height of six feet, three feet long, and a weight of 27,000 kilograms. It is a roar when it is activated. Through the valve, the force can be adjusted in the four preset gears under the six-bear force to meet different needs.

This big guy is formulated by the Steam Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. Each of the first chisels that must be printed underneath by the Minister of Works after the buyer assembles and the first trial is completed. It is the most proud product of the Steam Bureau of the Ministry of Works.

In fact, the scope of application of the A Fire De Star Lord is not wide. Due to transportation, Nanyang Military Equipment Bureau and other reasons, no one comes to order it. The only ones that can use it in the north are the largest textile factory in Beizhili, Beiyang Military Equipment Bureau, Qi Jiguang Ji Town Zunhua Iron Factory, and several hubs of imperial telegram transportation.

But it is the most powerful. The Ministry of Works has produced, transported and assembled forty-six A-type Fire De Xingjun within one year after the initial sixth year of Wanli. After deducting the annual salary of the Steam Bureau, the food and materials, the remaining money is enough to start corvee and repair two wooden rail roads with carriages ranging from the Beiyang Military Palace to Tongzhou for 280 miles.

However, in fact, the merchants who bought the sixth year of Wanli did not boast about this thing, because it was not at all excellent compared to the fiveth year of the A. Its power is as big as that, and it even makes people feel a little smaller, but its weight and price have risen sharply.

There is no other reason, because in the fifth year of Wanli, three units of Type A were damaged in one year. The most serious one exploded at the Beiyang Military Weapons Bureau. Flying hammers and parts, and flying charcoal fires caused a fire, causing more than 20 craftsmen and workers, one was killed on the spot, and six were disabled.

The six-year-old A mainly enhances safety and is naturally more bulky.

The two commercial models B and C are circulated on the market, mines, various factories, and even workshops with a size of more than ten people. The prices are very reasonable. It is easy to make and transport is simple. Although the maximum power is only 800, it is more popular.

As for the smallest D type, the Fire De Star Lord that Emperor Wanli used as a mount in the palace, is basically not sold on the market. The profits obtained by the two models in the middle are used to make the smallest D type in large quantities and be distributed to the people, but they are much simpler than the emperor's mount.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient manpower after the disaster, the Ministry of Works issued more than 600 D-shaped Huode Star Lord to 16 counties in two prefectures and sixteen counties in Hejian Prefecture. It was not as powerful as Sanlang, and it was used to pull mills and remove shells. It was called charcoal horses by the people.

However, what is interesting is that in various years, the models of Huode Star Lord have spread in Beizhili not only did not impact the handicraft industry, but instead made the wood, iron, coal, mining and other industries and their derivative industries unprecedentedly prosperous due to the production of supporting machinery and tools.

As a result, the news came to the ears of the officials in the court. They knew nothing about the black smoke, which led to the fact that Zhang Han was traveling to various provinces.

Because black smoke is a variety of problems brought about by huge changes.

Industrialization, which is relatively limited to a "small" province, has brought about land annexation, population mobility, and a decline in agriculture. Although industrialization has avoided the old problems of land annexation, it has also brought about more new problems.

A dense courtyard house serving the industry has formed new villages, and the major factories have become closed and outlaws for the court. In order to better manage, factory owners have implemented the law in the factory areas.

The lack of officials planning towns and the transportation capacity cannot keep up with the speed of dense living. The poor living environment and almost no medical insurance have brought high incidence of diseases. This has caused the imperial court to face new challenges while enjoying industrialization and overseas exports.

However, the Emperor Wanli in the Forbidden City did not need to worry about all this. When the first snow fell in the winter of the seventh year of Wanli, he wore a tiger warrior Zhangfeng pajamas that paid tribute to Asia was loading a Fran cannon behind the buttocks of Huode Xingjun.

However, after the Emperor of Fire Detective, who had already improved to a speed, degenerated into a snail after installing it, the emperor was not satisfied. He replaced a Franchise heavy gun that was imitated from a Spanish heavy musket and improved the "Franchise" style, and then patted the Franchise heavy gun, who was wrapped in a satin fur robe in the courtier, and smiled with satisfaction.

After the emperor's research, the speed of the mount decreased significantly in winter, which proves that wearing clothes is very important to everyone.
