caption_attribution_description: Targone's field mill from Vittorio Zonca's engineering treatise of 1607, showing two wagon-mounted mills worked by a horse-whim and gearing while stationary in camp. It was invented in Europe by Pompeo Targone in 1580, a man who was greatly involved in the Siege of La Rochelle during the Huguenot wars. It was featured in the Chinese book Qiqi Tushuo of 1627, which was a dual work of Johann Schreck and Wang Zheng. Ironically, the vehicle's concept was invented earlier in China during the Later Zhao (319&#8211;351) period, but was forgotton in China by the time that either books were published.
