Chapter 967

The atmosphere is a bit dull, and a gust of night wind blows, making people feel a chill.

Niu Ben looked at the lights outside the gate of the eye palace and said loudly, "Everyone, go back early. Niu believes that the emperor's eyes are like torches, and he can see the world clearly."

Everyone came back to their senses, no longer mentioned the current topic, and each said goodbye and left.

Niu Ben and Luo Quan walked at the back, and when everyone left, Luo Quan said: "These civil servants like to fight back and forth, no wonder the emperor attaches so much importance to this naval battle today, in order to make these people calm down, Put more energy on building the Great Yu Kingdom."

"This is also something that can't be helped. Pang Yukun, Zhan Xingchang and others are people who follow the emperor to conquer the world. They think that it is natural for them to hold most of the power. Fiji and others are latecomers, and they did not spend time with the emperor after all. It was the most difficult period, so they thought that these old ministers should not get so much, and those old ministers were afraid of Pang Yukun and the others, so since the emperor ascended the throne, although there was pressure from the emperor, they worked closely together, but they could not integrate. "Niu Ben was on the outside, so he could see clearly.

Luo Quan nodded lightly, "Well, that's the truth, but these civil servants like to fight back and forth whether they are in the power of Ming Jun or Shun Jun. It doesn't matter, let's just ignore it."

"Extremely true." Niu Ben laughed and walked towards his mansion.

In fact, the quarrel is quarreling, but each of them has a steel scale in their hearts. Now that the Great Yu Kingdom is prospering, it is going up. With Xiao Ming, no one can make any waves.

As for the quarrels in the court due to different political opinions, it is normal, and some power struggles are also normal. After all, officials are full of flesh and have their own feelings and desires.

At the same time as everyone left, Xiao Ming returned to the bedroom. At this time, Fei Yue'er had already fallen asleep, and Xiao Yi had already lived separately from them because he was seven years old, and was taken care of by the nanny in the palace alone.

Without disturbing Fei Yue'er, Xiao Ming came to sit in the main hall outside the dormitory and let the maid light the candle.

He picked up the pen and skillfully recorded the knowledge in the technology spar, and Dick's description of the UK did surprise him.

When he talked to everyone today, he deliberately ignored an element, that is, Dick once said that the British secret society had participated in the research and development of technology in the United Kingdom.

And this association also brought some elite talents, all of whom are members of the association, from all over Europe.

It is because of the help of this association that the UK has been able to verify various technologies so quickly.

He had heard about this secret association twice, once from Dengzhou, and once from when he attacked the south.

Combined with the various mysterious legends about this association in modern times, he has reason to worry about the secret association in this world. After all, the Cao family has joined it, and it is difficult for him to determine whether there are secret members of this association in the Great Yu Kingdom.

If there was, it would be a problem for him, so after the war in the South, he had kept secret guards to probe, but with little success.

This result is both good news and bad news for him. The good news is that there may be no progress in the infiltration of the secret association in the Great Yu Kingdom. The bad news is that the infiltration may be too powerful, and the secret guards have nowhere to start.

It has always been disturbing for things beyond his control, so he now desperately hopes that Da Yu will go further in technology and open a wider gap with Europe.

Especially after the emergence of electricity, many affairs that accompanied the emergence of electricity in modern times should also appear. In this way, the Great Yu Kingdom can be regarded as entering the era of electricity.

Correspondingly, there is the internal combustion engine. The emergence of electricity has made it possible to produce diesel and gasoline on a large scale. With diesel, the gas in the gasoline can be the source of power.

Because of this, electricity and internal gas complement each other, which is why he knows that the internal gas structure is not very complicated and has not been developed in advance.

After all, it can only be used as a display when it is produced.

But it is different now. With electricity, the next step is to overcome the problem of refining diesel and gasoline, which requires Lutong to solve a series of problems.

In addition, he has to solve the problem of the source of oil, and this is his more headache.

Coming from modern times, he is very clear that the oil resources of the Great Yu Country are scarce, and the few fritters in the few places are very difficult to mine, which cannot be mined at the current level of the Great Yu Country.

And he is not willing to mine, because his current policy is to plunder resources from overseas and retain domestic mineral resources.

Based on this, the imperial court now encourages businessmen to go to Korea, Japan and other places to mine mines. After capturing the Philippines, he will also send businessmen to go to the Philippines and even Australia to mine, and to continuously transport foreign minerals to Dayu.

As for the inexhaustible mines, his request is to reclaim the land.

Therefore, he would not exploit such a scarce thing as oil in the country, and his goal naturally turned to the Ottoman Empire.

This empire is now sitting on the most precious wealth in the world without knowing it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it would be a good business to exchange industrial products or even arms for oil.

The Ottoman Empire not only did not deal with Europe, but also did not deal with Tsarist Russia and the Golden Horde. He would be happy to use this behemoth to cause some trouble for Europe.

Of course, his most important purpose is still oil. On this land, the geological structure of the oil field is simple, and self-blowing wells are the norm.

Simply put, it is to hit a drill bit to the oil layer, and the oil will be sprayed from the wellhead by itself, which is very easy to obtain.

He is now writing about the knowledge of oil extraction and the knowledge of internal gas. These two technologies will bring earth-shaking changes to the transportation industry in Dayu.

But before that, he still has a lot of things to do, occupy the Southeast Asia, and seize the strongholds established by the French and the British on the route. This process cannot be accomplished overnight, and it may take a long time.

During this period of time, the petrochemical industry system and the establishment of internal gas technology can also be carried out at the same time, but there is no need to be impatient.

After thinking about this, Xiao Ming turned his attention to Nanyang. Now he wonders what achievements Yue Yun has achieved?

...

Malacca.

The Marines were led by Liu Chen to take advantage of the darkness to land on the beach, and they faced no resistance along the way.

The action of the combined fleet made the British soldiers in Malacca completely ignore the possible danger. They did not expect that the huge fleet would arrive in Malacca overnight.

"Hurry up!"

Liu Chen beckoned the soldiers to cross the beach and into the plain. In front of them were the carefully constructed forts by the British, which they were now to capture.
