China is the first country in the history of the world to discover oil, the first written record appeared in the Book of Changes, described as "Ze has fire, fire on the fire and down Ze", this book was compiled in the 11th century BC of the Western Zhou Dynasty, more than 3,000 years ago.
The earliest appearance of the word "oil" in Chinese history began in the Northern Song Dynasty, by the scientist Shen Kuo in Mengxi Pen Talk, the text recorded that "there is oil in the territory of Yan, born in the sand and gravel of the water, mixed with spring water, and out of confusion."
If you suspect that its smoke can be used, try to sweep its coal to ink, the black light is like lacquer, and the pine ink is not as good.
This thing will be great in the world, and it will be done from the beginning, and it will be covered with oil at most, and it will be born in the earth without quantity, and it will not be as exhausted as pine from time to time."
The earliest ancient book to understand the properties of petroleum and record the origin of oil is the Hanshu Geographical Chronicle written by Ban Gu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which reads that "Gaonu County has water that can be burned", and its approximate location is in the area of Yan'an, Shaanxi Province before Liu Wei crossed.
It's just that because of the difficulty of mining, it was only a preliminary discovery in the Eastern Han Dynasty and could not be put into use.
Until the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, oil had a certain scale of excavation and use, the Southern Dynasty Fan Ye once recorded in the book that "there are mountains in the south of the county, the stone springs, the burning is extremely bright, not edible, the county people call it stone paint." ” After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, oil has been widely used in addition to burning lighting, such as lubricating car wheels, making paraffin, and treating ringworm sores and leprosy with medicinal herbs, and by the Tang Dynasty it has been used in military warfare, defeating the invading Turkic cavalry in the western region.
Now the Eastern Han Dynasty has more than 10,000 thunderbolts, and the major armies have thousands or even thousands of vehicles, if the oil is loaded into barrels and projected out, it will definitely be able to strengthen the wings of a tiger when attacking the city.
Looking at Wang Mang's erratic eyes, Liu Wei remained silent on the surface, but his mind was like electricity: If Wang Mang can really help my Han to extract oil, it will naturally be great news, but this Wang Mang has a strange energy, and he must be treated with caution Liu Wei is not sure that Wang Mang is 100% a traverser, but this guy is definitely not a normal person, either he has had an adventure, or he is a traverser like himself, but it is difficult to determine which era Wang Mang comes from.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the period of reform and opening up, or the same era as oneself, or even later, it is still difficult to make a judgment.
But after thinking about it, Liu Wei was not only not afraid but became more and more at ease, after all, Wang Mang was even a traverser, when he found that the earliest in this world were Hou Yi and Jiang Shang, the latest were Li Hongzhang , Hong Xiuquan, as well as Qin Shi Huang, Tang Taizong, Song Taizu and other emperors of various dynasties and generations, as well as Wu Qi, Li Mu, Li Jing, Yue Fei and other commanders of various dynasties and generations, it is estimated that there will be a big "bewilderment" written on the door of the brain.
Even if Liu Wei's actions will arouse Wang Mang's suspicions, how can he know how these people came to this world, maybe they will think that they are stained with the light of the emperor's identity and are ordered by heaven, so they will get so many heroes and heroes, and the assistance of good ministers and fierce generals, so that they will counterattack strongly and establish an unprecedented Han Empire.
Taking a step back, even if Wang Mang guessed the identity of his traverser, how could he fan the flames everywhere, spread rumors, and say that he was a traverser whenever he met people, so what good would it do him and how many people would believe his empty words As long as you move your fingers and find an excuse at will, you can crush an ant to death and have no place to bury.
So you don't have to be nervous, as if you are facing a big enemy, as long as you make good use of this Wang Mang, you can bring huge benefits to yourself, and it is worth taking some risks.
Thinking of this, Liu Wei's heart completely calmed down, and he stroked his beard and laughed: "Wang Aiqing, I fully believe in your ability and vision.
If you want money, I will give you money, I will give you money, I will give you food, and I must dig out the stone paint for me within three years to benefit the Han. ” Although Liu Wei's laughter was cordial, the tone was unquestionable, Wang Mang's heart sank, and he hurriedly shook it to the ground: "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's orders, and will definitely do his best to mine stone paint for the Han Dynasty." ” Liu Wei's gaze swept to Lai Junchen again: "Come to a thousand households, the excavation of coal and stone paint is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, I am afraid that there will be traitors and criminals who will destroy production, so I decided to set up a mine protection bureau, and you will serve as the bureau, if something important happens, you can report it directly to me." ” Running from the capital to the dark coal capital of Fan County is naturally a frustrating errand for a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but having the special right to go directly to Tianting makes Lai Junchen almost comparable to Li Yuanfang.
Lai Junchen immediately comprehended his mind and gave the order: "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's orders, and will definitely send the important things that happened in the coal mine to the Holy Hearing as soon as possible."
Staying with Junchen to partner Wang Mang is equivalent to putting a tight spell on Wang Mang, so Liu Wei is not afraid of what waves Wang Mang can make.
After making arrangements, Liu Wei took Zhang Liang and Yang Yuhuan, under the escort of Yuwen Chengdu and Wenyang brothers, left Fan County and continued to march towards Jiaozhou, and arrived at the Qingzhou Navy Division Camp two days later.
Looking from afar, I saw that the warships on the coast were connected, and the flags were unfurled, which was magnificent, and when I learned that the Son of Heaven was coming, Zheng Chenggong, the governor of the Qingzhou Navy, hurriedly went out to greet him with the deputy general Liu Renliang.
"Minister Zheng Sen is late to take over, please forgive your majesty" Zheng Chenggong knelt on one knee and asked the Son of Heaven for his guilt.
"It was not Zheng Qing's fault that I went to Fan County to inspect coal mining, so I didn't arrive as scheduled."
Liu Wei bent down with a smile on his face and helped Zheng Chenggong and Liu Renliang up one by one.
Zheng Chenggong said: "Since the minister received the news from the flying pigeon, he learned that His Majesty was preparing to return to Jiangdong by sea, and he had prepared more than 100 large and small ships, and carefully selected 10,000 soldiers to escort His Majesty back to Beijing. ” Liu Wei stroked his beard and said: "I heard that Li Sunchen's Tang army and naval division are stationed in Chengshanjiao, if you learn that Zheng Qing has divided his troops and returned to Jiangdong, he will definitely attack.
Therefore, there is no need to mobilize the army, just send a big ship to send me back to Jinling. ” Zhang Liang, who was next to him, put his hands in his sleeves and echoed: "Your Majesty is very right, if you send more ships, you will leak the news and be spying on the Tang Army scouts."
Yi Sunsin can choose to storm the camp of our army's naval division or intercept it at sea, so it is better to send three or two ships and travel lightly."
Seeing Liu Wei's resolute attitude, Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to surrender his orders and decided to use Zheng He's treasure ship to send the Son of Heaven back to Jiangdong, and was personally escorted by the deputy general Liu Renliang.
The sea was surging, and Liu Wei was also worried that something had happened, but it was much safer to have an experienced Liu Renliang with him, so he agreed to Zheng Chenggong's proposal.
The sun had not yet set, and today was calm again, so Liu Wei decided to take Zhang Liang, Yuwen Chengdu, Wen Yang and others accompanied by Zheng Chenggong and Liu Renliang to board the ship to review the sailors and boost the morale of 50,000 soldiers.
When Liu Wei was about to get on the boat, Yang Yuhuan begged: "Your Majesty, the concubine also wants to follow you to see the style of the Han sailor, can Your Majesty take the concubine on the boat?"
"Nope" Liu Wei replied in an unquestioning tone, "After you arrive at Qianyang Palace, you still need to learn more palace rules and etiquette, and the first rule I stipulate is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, let alone get involved in military affairs."
In the entire Qianyang Palace, the only one who has the power to set foot in the military camp is the virtuous concubine Mu Guiying, and the others, Zhen Mi and Wu Ruyi, the two eastern and western queens, do not dare to make such a request." touched a nose of ash in front of everyone, Yang Yuhuan was not depressed, and bowed his head and bowed his head to receive the order: "Your Majesty is angry, the concubine made such a request negligently for a while, it is purely playful, and I will never dare to have the idea of dividing it."
Knowing that the Son of Heaven had arrived at the Qingzhou Navy Battalion, 50,000 soldiers boarded the bow of the ship full of spirit, raised their weapons one by one, and shouted in unison, "Long live our emperor, the Han will win", and for a time the sound vibrated the universe and floated on the boundless sea.
Liu Wei walked across the deck, waving to the soldiers of the sailor division, and asked Zheng Chenggong: "Since Li Shimin invaded Qingzhou, there has been a lot of fighting between you and Li Sunsin."
Zheng Chenggong replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty's words, since Li Shimin's invasion of Qingzhou, the minister has fought with the Tang Kou Navy led by Li Sunchen more than ten times, and there are victories and defeats of each other, and the loss of troops is equal to that of ships. ” "Our army has such a big warship, and it can't take advantage of it" Zhang Liang deliberately stepped on the deck of Zheng He's treasure ship under his feet, and questioned with a puzzled expression.
Zheng Chenggong sighed helplessly: "Although our army has treasure ships to help, Li Sunsin also has hard tortoiseshell ships under his command, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The treasure ship is huge, and the head-on collision is a giant on the sea, invincible; However, the treasure ships invented by Yi Sunsin were flexible and had hard hulls, and there were dozens of them, so it was difficult to take advantage of them."
"This Li Sunsin is a genius," Zhang Liang couldn't help but praise when he heard this.
Liu Wei bowed his head and said: "Li Sunsin is indeed a prodigy in water warfare, and Tang Guo is such a famous general in naval warfare who can handle it.
However, after Wang Mang excavates the oil, it will be the end of the Tang Army."
After the review of the sailors, the banquet had already been placed, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Renliang led dozens of generals under their command to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the monarch pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank happily.
As soon as the sky was hazy and bright the next day, Liu Wei took Yang Yuhuan, Zhang Liang and others to board Zheng He's treasure ship.
Under the command of Liu Renliang, 2,000 soldiers anchored and set sail, sailed into the sea, and headed for the east of the river.
Before leaving, Liu Wei told Zheng Chenggong: "I am afraid it will take about half a month to return to Jiangdong from Qingzhou, and during this time, the scout carrier pigeons will not be able to contact me.
"Respectfully to Your Majesty" Zheng Chenggong took the order, led the soldiers to stand on the shore and watched the treasure ship gradually disappear, and then returned to the camp to act according to the plan. t1706231537:
