    At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Kangxi went to Xishan to watch the exercise in person, and he was accompanied by a number of close and important ministers such as the Prince of Affairs, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Grand Scholar, and the Minister of War.  (eng.com) Dai Zigong asked the emperor to move to the high platform to watch the ceremony. Kangxi felt a little relieved when he saw that the exquisite wooden high platform was built along the hill.

    The artilleryman was an experienced craftsman. He loaded the shells to calibrate the target, lit the fuse with a fire stick, and after a burst of white smoke, there was a roar The wooden platform under Kangxi's feet seemed to be shaking slightly. A small wooden sign five hundred meters away,  Got blown away.

    Kangxi held a monocular telescope in his hand and clearly observed the results of the artillery test firing, and was very satisfied.  Kangxi casually handed the monocular telescope to Mingzhu who was standing next to him, and Mingzhu also raised the mirror to take a look.  The pixel resolution of this monocular telescope itself is not high. In order to cater to the status of the emperor, craftsmen from the Bureau of Artifacts of the Ministry of Industry used gold, jade and other jewelry to inlay on the outside of the cylinder. In fact, the concave glass inside the cylinder came from the craftsmanship of the previous dynasty.  Transparent glass products are of average quality, but their wartime function is very important.

    Mingzhu put down the telescope and praised sincerely: "Your Majesty, the accuracy of this mighty cannon is amazing."

    Kangxi nodded with a smile on his face and felt very happy in his heart.  Mingzhu recognized the interest and held the telescope in both hands and said: "This thing is very unique. It can be seen clearly from a mile away, and every detail is revealed. If it is taken to the front line to detect the enemy's situation, it is really a sharp weapon I don't know which master developed it.  ?¡±

    Kangxi stood proudly with his hands clasped in his hands. He did not boast that he invented it himself, but joked that it was a secret developed by the Ministry of Industry.  Anyway, the telescope is temporarily classified as a military product and is currently a strictly controlled reconnaissance weapon.  Even if advanced scientific equipment is not lethal in itself, it cannot be easily made available to the enemy.

    In the early days, Kangxi did not think of building a telescope. He just spent his days busy with state affairs, family affairs, and making money.  Some time ago, several younger sons of the Kangxi family met at the Empress Dowager's place, and they started making a fuss inexplicably.  The reason is that the crown prince Yin Reng got a new kaleidoscope that filled the hall with beauty.

    Yinreng just enjoys it in private, but he also shows it off in front of the eldest brother and third brother, which is obviously to attract people's attention.  The elder brother would hide his thoughts when he was older, but Yinzhi was three or four years old, the age when flirting with cats and dogs was frowned upon. He quietly took advantage of the opportunity and unprepared, and someone secretly fiddled with Yinzhi's kaleidoscope and threw it on the ground.  Broken.  The little prince's temper was so bad that he couldn't be easily provoked. What's more, after being blatantly bullied, Yin Reng's eyes widened immediately. He rushed forward and beat up the third elder brother, causing several close servants to  He was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly.

    Kangxi, a cheap father, had a headache when his children were fighting. He ordered the children to go back and think about their mistakes on the spot. However, the emperor sat alone in the imperial study, tinkering with the kaleidoscope of corpses for a long time.  Kangxi remembered that long-tube telescopes seemed to have the same style. As soon as he was inspired, he drew a simple structural diagram and handed it to the Artifacts Bureau of the Ministry of Industry for consideration.  There were so many skilled craftsmen in ancient times that the research and development was successful in a few days.  So he went to Kangxi and ordered the Ministry of Industry to make several small telescopes and distribute one to each son, so that the fight would be over.

    The Crown Prince felt aggrieved, so he sent someone to ask for the forehead picture from his uncle to complain. Within a few days, his uncle gave Yinfeng a brand new kaleidoscope.

    Only three elder brothers were boring, and on the beautiful little face, the eyes were green for several days before disappearing   Yinreng is a little fatter, and his fighting ability is evident.

    ¡­¡­

    It is said that there is no acquaintance without fighting.  When Liu Xia first met Yang Jixiang, Yang Jixiang snatched half of a sesame seed cake from Liu Xia's hand, and then Yang Jixiang became interested in interacting with her. He also gave Liu Xia a bowl of porridge before dinner, and their friendship was quickly established.

    ?????????????????? There must be rules when entering the industry, and begging can be considered a profession.  Liu Xia didn't understand anything, so he had no choice but to hang around Yang Jixiang.  Yang Jixiang has a sharp eye, whispers a few points and leaves a few words to get to the point.

    "You have to plug your ears and eyes, pull your hat down, and cover your hair"

    "Your wrist is too white, please put some more dust on it"

    ¡°¡­We can¡¯t go to Fahua Temple, that¡¯s Huang Daya¡¯s territory.¡±

    After all, Liu Xia was not used to sleeping in the open air. He felt unspeakable discomfort and leaned against the wall.  Yang Jixiang is a smart person, he understood it at a glance, and when he got some free time in the afternoon, he took his leisure time and went elsewhere.

    Yang Jixiang picked them up along the way, throwing dead branches and broken pieces of wood into Liu Xia's hands. Liu Xia, who was also a kind-hearted girl, followed Yang Jixiang silently to a small dilapidated courtyard.

    Yang Jixiang was familiar with the roads, carrying wooden buckets to fetch water, lighting fires, and moving large basins He was busy for a long time and filled most of the basins with warm water.  Yang Jixiang signaled with his eyes that he could go into the house to take a shower. He closed the door behind his back, then sat down outside the threshold and watched.

    Liu Xia slipped into the warm water and wiped his body with the only handkerchief beside him.  I haven't bathed in the past few days after leaving the palace, and my body was bitten by fleas and mosquitoes.I felt red, swollen and itchy, I took the time to dip into the water, and the strings of tears fell into the water like broken pearls

    I washed my clothes in a hurry, put on the old clothes, and opened the door with my wet hair loose.  When Yang Jixiang heard the sound, he quickly stood up and turned around to look at her. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, his flawless eyebrows and eyes were graceful, and his skin was radiant and white

    Yang Jixiang couldn¡¯t help but be stunned for a while before he said: ¡°Don¡¯t forget to rub some incense ash.¡±

    Liu Xia lowered his eyes sadly.

    In the afternoon of the next day, I had time to squat outside the kitchen window at the back of Tianxiangju, waiting for the leftovers.

    Suddenly, Xiao Lingli ran over and yelled: "It's not good, Sister Liuxia, something happened to Brother Yang."

    Liu Xia was so panicked that she kept asking her, "What's wrong?"

    Little Lingli grabbed Liu Xia's hand and ran towards the scene of the accident. Little Lingli gasped as she ran, "Huang Daya robbed Grandma's money, and beat Brother Yang until he vomited blood" Liu Xia felt very sad.  I was anxious, running and crying again.

    Finally, I got there and took a moment to take a look at Yang Jixiang¡¯s condition. His eyes were closed, his cheeks and chest were all covered in blood, and he was so frightened that he didn¡¯t dare to come near.  Xiao Lingli cried loudly, threw herself on Yang Jixiang and shouted, "Brother Yang, why are you dead"

    Liu Xia suddenly heard that Yang Jixiang was "dead", and felt great grief. Instead, he stopped crying. He silently stepped forward to pick up Yang Jixiang, held his head in his arms, took out his only handkerchief, and wiped Jixiang's face.  There was bright red blood on his face.

    The small silk handkerchief was almost dyed red, and Liu Xia's hands were also stained with auspicious blood. Liu Xia seemed not to notice, and concentrated on wiping it carefully

    Jixiang suddenly coughed and vomited out half a mouthful of blood, but he woke up, his eyes not clear, staring at the sad left leisure, his lips pursed

    I took the time to listen and heard the word clearly, "Ama".

    Bow and thank Mo Xiaogu for his ¡°first time¡±
