A burst of gunpowder smoke came, and the straw man wearing chain mail a hundred steps away was beaten, Zhang Xiaoming was triumphant, "In the future, our army will be equipped with a large number of this kind of musket, and abandon the weapon of the sword." ”

One of the officials couldn't help but ask curiously: "On the battlefield, what should I do if the iron bullet or gunpowder runs out?"

Zhang Xiaoming smiled slightly, took out a short knife from his waist, there was a barb in the wrist guard of this short knife, I saw him brush the ground and put it on the muzzle of the gun, and waved it a few times, "This is called a bayonet, when it runs out, it always has to be hand-to-hand." ”

Everyone nodded like pounded garlic, convinced.

Zhang Xiaoming is an avid fan of crossing, as early as junior high school, he started all kinds of crossings and farming, until graduation work, he wrote cross-cutting essays are not popular, not because his writing is bad or the plot is not enough, but because he pays too much attention to details and is too hardcore, resulting in fewer people watching.

How to quickly establish a steam civilization in ancient times is a systematic and complicated process, it took the Europeans hundreds of years to complete, Zhang Xiaoming took a few months to initially complete the construction of steam engines, steel plants, arsenals and civilian factories, the right time and place and the people are indispensable.

First of all, they have a set of mini industrial machine tools and automated robots in the traversal cabin, which can help him quickly manufacture production machinery, and secondly, he is also the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and with the strong support of Sima Shu, he has almost unlimited power.

Not only the blacksmiths of the people, but also the craftsmen who make armor and weapons in the army, as well as a large number of people and strong, can all be allocated and used, and talents from other places can be poached at a high price.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the current era of Emperor Hui of Jin, the years of war and chaos in the past hundred years accounted for the majority, and there was no shortage of blacksmiths and craftsmen in the troubled times, a handful of them, there was no labor law in this era, and there was no need to issue any five insurances and one housing fund and rest days, only three meals of rice and large pieces of boiled meat a day, and a salary of 5 taels of silver a month.

With these foundations, all that remains is money, and the glass factory is only the first step, and it will be further expanded later, producing soaps, shampoos, perfumes, etc., emptying the wallets of the rich, and then investing in the construction of a huge military factory.

The reason why the construction of steel-making furnaces is given priority is that China has long had mature iron-making technology and can also refine relatively good steel.

The output of the Han Dynasty can even be comparable to the output of the whole of Europe in the 18th century, but the production efficiency is not high, and the energy consumption is very large, so Zhang Xiaoming built a converter invented in the 19th century, and it only takes half an hour to smelt a furnace of steel, and it is a high-quality high-carbon steel for dephosphorization and deoxygenation.

Coal and iron resources are mined nearby, and there are several coal mines and iron ores in the Central Plains Guanzhong of the Jin Dynasty, although the reserves are not much, but as long as they do not produce large steel users such as warships and ships, it is enough to only produce army weapons.

A large amount of coal and iron ore was carried out from the mountains and sent to the steelmaking furnace of the ordnance station.

With coal, coke and gas can be made, with coke can be made steel, with steel, steel wire can be pulled, and with steel wire can be woven chain mail.

Chain mail is only the first step, and when the territory continues to expand and more coal and iron resources are obtained, steel plates can be produced, armored vehicles and tanks can be built.

Steel ambitions, the European continent is just like that, the fertilizer plant has also been built, and it will soon be able to produce fertilizer in large quantities, and when the time comes, it will be promoted, and sufficient fertilizer will solve the food problem, maybe it is not a dream to unify the world, Zhang Xiaoming thought.

——

The representatives of the family returned home, and they wanted to drop out of Sima Shu to cut power, but they didn't want to touch a nose of ash, you look at Wang Dun's house, I look at you, and my mood is complicated.

After a long time, a middle-aged man inside spoke: "It's not appropriate here, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the country will not be a country." ”

Wang Dun looked up and saw that it was Huan Yi who spoke, and he was currently the patriarch of the Huan family.

Long Kanghuan's family was originally a Qi person, and it has a long history, and if you push it up, it is a descendant of Qi Huan, so it is called Qi Huan.

In the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the sixth ancestor of Huan Rong moved into Longkang, Peijun, settled down, and began to multiply and grow.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Huan Rong followed Zhu Pu from Luoyang to study "Ouyang Shangshu", and was later appointed by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty as Yilang, Prince Shaofu, and Taichang.

After Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, in order to thank his teacher, he worshiped Huan Rong as the fifth watch and the marquis of Guannei.

After Huan Rong, his descendants inherited the family business, passed on the "Shangshu" for generations, and became a family of scholars.

Wang Dun looked at him with interest, "Why did Mao Lun say this?"

"The founding of the Great Jin Dynasty is all thanks to the strong support of our family to succeed, and now the regent relies on the strange skills of the demons, and even appoints the Hanmen Shu clan as a court official, just a pariah, pretending to be the Marquis of Guannei, can actually hold the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and even rank among the three dukes, and does not take our family in his eyes at all, if this continues, the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty is afraid to be loosened. ”

Huan Yi was worried, and after saying something, he got up, everyone talked about it, and the hall instantly turned into a vegetable market.

After Sima Shu recovered Luoyang, he took advantage of the reason of cleaning up the party and replaced most of the key positions in the DPRK with those he brought back from the old Zhao.

These families have been officials for many generations, betting at both ends, betting at both ends, who is strong and dependent on whom, naturally a large part of them are also members of the back party, before Sima Shu broke the city, there were only tens of thousands of horses under his hands, and the families naturally did not put their chips on him.

After Sima Shu recovered Luoyang, he naturally did not give the family a good face, although he was polite on the surface and did not get to the bottom of it, but he took them out of the position of real power and gave them a casual position.

There is no scenery that used to be hugged before and after, and most of the money has been cut by half, and at this moment the families finally vented their anger.

"This dynasty uses the nine-grade Zhongzheng system to take scholars, and the regent changes the ancestral system, and the way to disrupt the country is also. ”

Xie An shouted in the crowd.

Wang Dun looked at the neighing voices of the families below, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although everyone usually competes for power and profit with each other, once there is a threat from outsiders, they will still unite together, and the family is by no means comparable to the Shu clan with a humble background and no background.

Wang Dun coughed lightly, the room suddenly fell silent, everyone focused their eyes on his face, Wang Dun enjoyed this feeling of attention, he said: "The regent can make things happen, there are a few demons around the whole screen, I need to focus on it, cut off his arm first, but ...... like this"

——

There is such a sentence in the history books, since ancient times, only Cao Wei and Hou Zhou have not lost their virtue and died in the country.

The Cao family did not do anything absurd that caused turmoil in the world, and the Sima family was able to usurp the throne successfully, all relying on the conspiracy and trickery of three generations to seize power.

After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, because of its own improper position, the word loyalty did not need to be thought about, and it could only be propagated to rule the world with filial piety.

In order to appease the family that helped the Sima family usurp the throne, starting from Sima Yan, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was further carried forward, not only the real power and important positions were mostly assigned to the children of the family, but also those who did not have children could be assigned to a famous loose official.

All kinds of indiscriminate rewards, the result is that the Jin Dynasty has too many redundant personnel, and they are all high-grade officials, these people can't fight, and they can't do practical things, and they only have poetry and poetry, drinking and drinking tea and prostitutes, and fighting each other for power.

At Wang Dun's order, a group of officials above the third rank wearing purple robes and goldfish bags gathered together, drank and talked, and began to discuss the plan of how to regain their power.

Wang Dun briefly analyzed, now the Luoyang Dynasty is divided into three forces, on the surface, the largest is the immortal group headed by Yang Pingfan, of course, the family will not think that the crossing group is really an immortal, only think that it is a folk person who has mastered strange skills, but the strength is currently the largest.

In his hands, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War not only produced new types of ordnance, but also transported grain from the south of the Yangtze River, mastered the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and was a real confidant.

The second part is the Jingnan forces represented by Sima Yun and Liu Kun, the kings of Huainan, who mainly controlled the defense of Luoyang and several nearby cities.

The third part is the family.

On the surface, there are no real power officials in the court who can get their hands on the family, but everyone knows that the territory under Sima Shu's power is actually in the hands of the family, and the officials in various places are also the children of their own clans or protégés, and they are the forces that can most affect the stability of the imperial court.

Wang Dun stroked his beard, he already had a plan in his heart, he could not attack the immortal directly, but he had to cut off his arm first, start with the workshop, send someone to infiltrate it, and seize it, so that the lucrative workshop in his own hands will definitely make the family as stable as Mount Tai.

Then the military power will be moved, the Yushitai will be impeached first, and then he will come forward, and the children of the family will be stuffed into the army, and the real power will be held......

As for the Jingnan forces, Sima Yun was a member of the royal family, so he didn't move, and outsiders like Liu Kun and Shihu were directly sent to the north to resist the enemy, so that they could confront the king of Qi in the East China Sea, which could not only protect the danger but also consume strength, killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Wang Dun sent some family patriarchs with little influence back, leaving only the Xie family and the Huan family to discuss the details.

The families reached an agreement, first aimed the spearhead at Yang Pingfan and Li Lan, and instigated the imperial history to impeach, saying that he did not comply with the rules, lost his official body, and Li Lan disrupted the palace, embezzled and accepted bribes, invited people to buy people's hearts, and intended to rebel.

——

On the other hand, the team did not notice that a large net of conspiracy was looming over them. When Yang Pingfan received Shi Hong's invitation, he was very surprised, he knew that Shi Hong was Shi Le's eldest son, but the two sides only had a one-sided relationship, and there was no in-depth communication, but the person who sent the letter said that there was an urgent matter, and asked him to go over by name, so he went over to take a look.

Unlike Shi Hu, who lived in the barracks outside the city, Shi Hong lived in a luxurious mansion in the city with his own soldiers, and when Yang Pingfan arrived, he was already at the gate.
