Chapter 150 War Is Complicated(2/2)
Strangely enough, the horse calmed down very quickly.
"What's going on?"
The cavalry platoon leader Wang Huqiang stared at the cavalryman and asked. He had already rushed over when Zhang Qing rushed up. Wang Huqiang witnessed the entire process of Zhang Qing's treatment, but now his face was full of anger.
"I don't know, I didn't do anything." The cavalryman replied in a low voice.
"This horse is timid, it's scared." Zhang Qing came out at the right time and explained.
Wang Huqiang sketched Zhang Qing, and finally pointed at the cavalryman with a frown and said: "We can't make any more noise. This horse is under his control now. You can become an infantryman first."
After saying that, Wang Huqiang turned back to his horse angrily, ignoring the aggrieved look in the cavalry's eyes.
Before dawn, when Li Ping watched the sentry team of the reconnaissance company come out, he knew that this battle was no longer under his control.
Everything depends on fate.
Note:
In the late Ming Dynasty, with the arrival of European missionaries in China and the opening of trade in Guangzhou, Western clocks and watches began to enter China as gifts and commodities.
In 1581, the Italian missionary Luo Mingjian introduced water clocks and prisms to China as a stepping stone to open the door of the Chinese government. In 1601, another Italian missionary Matteo Ricci came to China, and he gave two chiming bells to Emperor Wanli. From then on
, walking into the palace from ringing the bell.
After Matteo Ricci brought Western clocks to Beijing, the Chinese quickly mastered the production technology of self-ringing clocks. According to records, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chinese people had learned clock technology and imitated it. They had been in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou.
The Portuguese missionary Zeng Dezhao, who had lived in places like this for many years, recorded in a "Travel Notes" he wrote after returning to Europe in 1640:
The handicraft they (the Chinese) appreciate most is the gear clock. They have made it very well now. It can be placed on the table. If they pay the same price as us, they can make the smallest one.
It can be seen that the level of watchmaking in China developed rapidly in the late Ming Dynasty.
