Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1124
[Chapter 1124 The Complete Layout]
“Bang bang bang…”
Sporadic gunshots rang out from time to time in Sa City.
This is Dasong soldiers cleaning up Beidi soldiers who are stubbornly resisting.
After the Tubo soldiers surrendered in large numbers, Ma Han and Dian Zhang rode into Sacheng.
Lancers also filed in from various gates to cooperate with the infantry to clear the battlefield.
“Have you found Ashur?” Mahan looked sharply.
The White Tiger Army almost controlled the entire Sa city, but there was no trace of Ashur.
For him, Ashur wants to see people when he is alive, and he wants to see corpses when he is dead.
Because this person is extremely dangerous.
After Colin led Beidi to surrender to Dasong, Tianzhu was also included in Dasong’s pocket.
This Ashur still refused to give in, trying to rely on the Tubo Plateau to resist Dasong.
It can be seen how much he hates Da Song.
If he is allowed to escape from Sacheng, he will inevitably do things that are not good for Da Song in the future.
His ultimate destiny is only one, and that is death.
“General, we found Ashur’s body. He was hacked to death by the Tibetans.”
As soon as Ma Han finished speaking, a group of cavalry stopped in front of Ma Han and reported to him.
“Tubo people…” the decree was a little awkward.
He thought that Ashur might commit suicide, or be killed for his stubborn resistance, but he didn’t expect that he would be killed by the Tibetans.
But after a while, he understood the whole picture of the matter.
It turned out that during this period of time, Ashur had been using cruel means to suppress the Tibetans.
During this siege, Ashur ordered Beidi people to supervise the battle, and finally made his Tubo soldiers rebel.
And that’s why they were able to enter the city so smoothly.
“Hmph, it’s really cheap for him.” Mahan snorted coldly.
When the Beidi people conquered a place, they would forcibly conscript people from that place into the army as their servants.
Now, they were finally backlashed by their own servants.
Not long after, the soldiers dragged Ashur’s body over.
As the cavalry said, Ashur was indeed hacked to death, and now his whole body is bloody.
However, from his appearance, he could still vaguely tell that this was Ashur.
“Take it away!” Mahan only glanced at him, then waved his hand.
For Dasong, the whole of Beidi was destroyed, and it was insignificant.
Ashur is naturally of little value to them.
If you die, you die, just throw it away like a wild dog.
“There is another Rikeze. If we win this city, we will control the whole of Tubo, and our mission will be completed.” Ma Han said to Dianzhang, looking northwest of Sacheng.
The law understood and said: “The last general will lead the troops to
Rikeze.” After that, he turned and left.
Half a month later, the decree went and came back.
In Rike, there were only a small number of Beidi soldiers and horses, and they took this small county easily.
It took about a month and a half before and after, and they completely controlled Tubo.
When the decree came back, Ma Han sent cavalry to Songyang Pass to report the situation of Tubo’s battle to Yancheng.
At the same time, he began to plan for the next issue of control over Tubo.
There is no doubt that Tubo will be handed over to the White Tiger Army.
Then it is inevitable to station troops here next.
Another half month later, the battle situation in Tubo was sent to Zhao Xu via telegram.
At this time, Zhao Xu and Wang Chong were playing with the new gadgets made by the Research Institute in the Royal Garden.
After reading the telegram, Zhao Xu smiled lightly and put the telegram away.
For him, taking Tubo with the ability of the White Tiger Army was as easy as pie, so there was no suspense or special expectation.
But this battle ultimately meant that Da Song’s territory was completely complete.
The extra territory obtained by Da Song before and the additional territory acquired in the future will be net profits.
“Come, come, let’s take a picture together while Tubo is returning to my great praise.” Zhao Xu said.
What Wang Chong showed Zhao Xu today was the camera.
At this moment, apart from Wang Chong, Liu Fu, Mi Yan, Chang Wei, Yang Feng and other ministers are all present.
They were all called by Zhao Xu to join in the fun.
“Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor.” Everyone smiled when they heard that Ma Han had won Tubo.
The return of Tubo undoubtedly added another touch of beauty to Dasong.
What’s more, in the dynasties before Dasong, in Tubo, the Central Plains dynasty was basically difficult to control.
The most ideal situation is that Tubo surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty.
But it is very difficult to actually control Tubo.
But for today’s Da Song, such a situation will never return.
In the future, they will firmly control Tubo and make it an inalienable territory of Dasong.
Amid waves of congratulations, the ministers stood on both sides of Zhao Xu in order.
Five meters away from them was a tripod with a wooden box covered with a thick black cloth.
This is the daguerreotype camera produced by the Research Institute.
It is also the most original camera.
In the middle of the nineteenth century, this kind of camera appeared.
The principle is simple,
It is to prepare a copper plate coated with thin silver, and then put it in a small box containing iodine solution.
At this time, iodine vapor reacts with silver to form silver iodide.
Then take out the silver-plated copper plate and transfer it into the camera obscura for shooting.
Because silver iodide will be reduced to metallic silver with different densities due to the intensity of light, an image is formed.
Thus was born black and white photography.
However, due to the low natural exposure light, daguerreotype photography took a long time.
It is very troublesome to keep the object of photography still for more than ten minutes.
In order to solve this problem, a burning powder mainly composed of magnesium powder and potassium chlorate appeared, which was used to burst out strong light and form an image instantly.
The reflector formed by the burning powder and the horn is the earliest flashing light.
The daguerreotype camera produced by Wang Chong is naturally the daguerreotype camera in this final form.
Although the structure is the simplest, it is also sufficient for the emergence of film cameras.
After all, even before 1900, most cameras were primitive daguerreotypes.
“Get ready!” Wang Chong shouted when everything was ready.
Seeing that everyone was correct, he pressed the button on the flash.
“Crack!” The fuel in the flashlight suddenly burned, making a slight sound.
A burst of lightning-like strong light appeared and shone on Zhao Xu and the others.
Many ministers couldn’t help but close their eyes.
“Hahaha, well, I will send the photos to the emperor when they are developed.” Wang Chong said with a smile after the photo was finished.
The next day, Wang Chong sent the photo to the palace as expected.
Zhao Xu called everyone over to appreciate it, and looked at the lifelike characters in the photo, and everyone was amazed.
“It’s really amazing. I didn’t expect that the technology that was once despised as miraculous and obscene can have such supernatural powers.” Liu Fu held the photo and fixedly looked at himself in the photo.
If it had been a few years earlier, he would have thought he had seen a ghost.
Yang Feng, Chang Wei and other generals couldn’t help shaking their heads in amazement, adding another layer of awe to the technology developed by the research institute.
Zhao Xu watched everyone’s expressions with satisfaction.
The reason why every time the Research Institute came up with something new, he had to show it to the ministers with great fanfare was to let them firmly remember that technology is the primary task of Dasong’s development in the future.
No official can use his power to interfere with the development of Dasong Technology.
Da Song can’t go back to the era when only scholar-bureaucrats were masters.
