Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 821

[Chapter 821]

“The triple-expansion steam engine is solved, and then your research institute will focus on the research of electric power.” Coming out of the research institute, Zhao Xu said to Wang Chong.

The technical problems at the peak of the steam industry have all been overcome by the research and development institute.

For him, the potential of the steam industry has been exhausted, and only by jumping to the second industrial revolution, that is, the electric revolution, can he catch up with Xitu.

This is called cornering overtaking.

After all, the development time of Dasong’s steam industry is too short, and it is mainly concentrated in Yanzhou, so the scale is too small.

While it cannot compare with the strength of Britain’s steam industry, it cannot compare with the overall strength of the steam industry in the entire western world.

And war sometimes compares precisely the industrial strength of the two sides.

In contemporary times, it is precisely because of the birth of the first industrial revolution that the United Kingdom has become an empire on which the sun never sets in a small area.

After that, France introduced the steam industry and became the second largest industrial country in the West. It was able to wrestle with Britain all over the world, which also contributed to the independence of the United States.

After France, Tsarist Russia also became an industrial power and became so powerful that it was once called the European Gendarmerie.

Next is Germany. It is precisely because of the rise of German industry that World War II was induced.

The result of the final victory was isolationism, and the United States, already the world’s number one industrial power and the number one in production capacity, reaped the fruits of victory.

Therefore, for him, Dasong must surpass Britain in terms of industrial production capacity in a short period of time, and even the entire Western Earth.

And relying on the steam industry, this is obviously impossible.

The most important thing is that because of his background in the steam industry, the guns and artillery he manufactured with the help of the steam industry can be easily imitated by the other party.

A muzzle-loading rifle is an example.

But entering the second industrial revolution is different.

Electric motors are more stable than steam engines, which is conducive to improving industrial precision.

Under this premise, more complex machinery can be produced.

“Please rest assured, Your Highness, I understand the importance of electricity.” Wang Chong said.

Previously, the slow progress of electricity was due to the problem of magnets.

But through the newspapers looking for clues about the magnets and the efforts of the ore hunters, the magnets needed for the generator are no longer a problem.

After explaining this matter, Zhao Xu returned to the palace.

Then, he asked Feng Er to pack his luggage, and he decided to go to Jiangnan.

Zhongling Pass and Jian Pass were taken, and the west side of Jiangbei was safe and sound.

The Nanliang and Beidi armies huddled in Yizhou couldn’t do anything.

As for Jiameng Pass, his order to Ma Han was to seek stability, and breaking through Jiameng Pass was only a day earlier or a day later, and it was not a big problem.

But Jiangnan is different.

Such large areas as Zhejiang, Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, Jinzhou, Jiaozhou, Guizhou, and Yunzhou are still waiting to return to normal.

This Dasong civil war has caused a huge loss of Dasong’s national power, and if he continues to fight, even if he wins, Dasong’s bottles and cans will be almost smashed.

It was because of this kind of consideration that he was very happy about Tsui Hark’s commotion in Jiangnan.

As long as the people in the south of the Yangtze River rise up, even if it is temporarily impossible to wipe out the core of the Wu state in Bazhou, Nanliang and Nanping.

At least, he can let these people get rid of the control of the clan, return to their hometown, and restore order in the south of the Yangtze River.

At that time, with the backs of the Jiangnan states, it will be much easier to clean up the powerful clans.

And since he came to Jiangnan in person, he was able to directly participate in the rebellion set off by the people in Jiangnan.

Secondly, it can also give great encouragement to the people in Jiangbei, which is the same as Yujia’s personal conquest.

“Your Highness will go this time, I’m afraid it will take another one or two months.”

Sleeping hall.

When going to bed at night, Yang Susu buried her head in Zhao Xu’s chest, and she was very reluctant to say anything.

Ever since she got married with King Yan, she had less gatherings and more separations.

Although she understood that King Yan was busy with affairs, she was still reluctant to leave.

“Dasong has not yet been unified, and foreign enemies are on the lookout, so this king can’t help himself. After these Xiao Xiaoxiaos are eliminated, this king will take you around Dasong, and even go to Korea, Dongying, and Nanyang, how about it?” Zhao Xu gently Caressing Yang Susu’s greasy arm, said softly.

“Wouldn’t the concubine have to wait until her temples turn gray?” Yang Susu hit Zhao Xu’s chest upon hearing this.

From her point of view, the civil strife and the intruding western natives are all thorny problems, and it may take a long time to solve them.

“How is it possible? You have to believe in this king’s ability. In a few years, this eastern land will be my king’s world.” Zhao Xu deliberately pinched Yang Susu’s waist.

“The concubines don’t know His Highness’s skills.” Yang Susu continued to act like a baby with Zhao Xu.

“Really? Then I will let you know clearly.” Zhao Xu suddenly burst into a smirk, opened the cup, and the bedroom was full of spring.

The next morning, Yang Susu woke up and found that Zhao Xu had left, leaving only a letter on the table.

The letter said: The king is going, and the princess should not read it. If you can’t bear the leisure, you can set up a women’s college, set an example, encourage girls to go to school, and help the king.

After Yang Susu finished reading, she smiled helplessly.

Then, accompanied by Feng’er and Luan’er, she went down to the Wuji Palace to meet Concubine Mi.

Since the king of Yan has explained this matter to her, and this matter is what she expects, she will do it properly.

Her princess is not a display.

At the same time that Yang Susu went to the Promise Palace, the steamboat that Zhao Xu was on had already sailed out of Yanzhou, entered the Jin River, and headed for Jinling.
