Jiang Tian's weapon test produced a series of consequences that he and Zhang Tao could not imagine, first of all, the military moderation faction that was still some opponents of the Northern Expedition also began to fall to the hawks, because the military saw a possibility that the strategic goal could be achieved with a small number of troops, so it did not wait for Zhang Tao to give an order, and all those in the army who were qualified to deduce various Northern Expedition plans, even Liu Junding, who was in charge of security and security, couldn't help but follow suit. In this way, he hated to death those civil officials who opposed the Northern Expedition, but this is not the most fatal, from this short period of two years, Jiang Tian created one invention after another, has begun to profoundly change the country, and can even be said to have changed history, even those who hate the most new learning diehards have to admit that just the popularization of a lead type has begun to promote another large-scale development of education, and its significance is no less than Bi Sheng's clay type, Since then, the cost of printing books has been inversely proportional to that of the well-known process, which will enable many students from poor families to get a good book that they have been dreaming of for a long time, and the only thing that makes them unhappy is that the officially printed textbooks are no longer a subset of classics and histories.

It is precisely because Jiang Tian invented and created zào too quickly that the civil officials who have not been able to keep up with its rhythm have not found a chance to counteract, because no matter how carefully they planned, but before they could be launched, they were disrupted by another invention or another new deal. The disappearance of these people has also made it difficult for the civilian-bureaucratic group to unite again, and through the vivid examples of those rising birds, everyone has already understood that Emperor Zhang has been prepared, and he has already collected a large amount of evidence, just waiting for you to stand up and send him to death. Therefore, the counterattack that the reformers have been worried about has not appeared, but it is the New Deal that has become a real headache, because the civilian-bureaucratic clique has changed to a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude when it knows that hard work will not work, and has also learned to engage in mass @ movement, sending people to distort the New Deal in the countryside, and inciting civil resistance, which is where the resistance to the promotion of the New Deal lies in the past two years.

For this situation, Zhang Tao, who was born in the people's army and has experienced the WG of the past and the present, has long been familiar with mobilizing @ masses and using @ masses, and this little trick of civilian officials is simply not worth it. These people used to be powerful and powerful on the heads of the people, but now they rely on the people to support them in order to protect their own interests, but they don't know that after Zhang Tao has undergone the most thorough political education, the depth and angle of looking at political problems have exceeded this era too much. Even Jiang Tian, a post-80s generation, can easily crack this chess game, because before the 21st century, China's education system had a taboo "Zhengzhì" that was listed as taboo by all countries in the world, and the core content of this course is to analyze class contradictions from a historical and academic perspective and teach everyone how to carry out class struggle, in other words, tell sù why you want to reform @ life, and how to reform @ life successfully. Even a nerd who is just rote memorization for the sake of going to school knows how to consolidate one faction, win over another, and fight another. It's just that Zhang Tao didn't rush to carry out a purge in order to train those new-style officials he cultivated, and the funny thing is that these people still think that they really have something to rely on.

"Why don't you care if I talk about cross talk occasionally?" Jiang Tian raised this question when he explained the political affairs course, which is also the only course that is not open to international students now.

Because Zhang Huan was also listening to the class, there was no shortage of sycophantic answers, what His Majesty wanted to have fun with the people, what was a corporal of courtesy, what was lenient to his courtiers, and so on, Jiang Tian just smiled and said nothing, Zhang Huan was also thoughtful, he didn't believe that his father and teacher were so shallow.

Xinyue saw that Jiang Tian was noncommittal, so she said her answer: "Your Majesty's intention is twofold, one is to enhance the identity of the artist, Mr. said cross talk, although it will not make the untouchables in the world get out of the country. But if there is something good at the top, it must be very bad, since even the royal family and the first-class officials of the court do not feel humble, it is indeed that people dare not despise artists anymore. Second, although the artists are cheap, most of the people involved are poor people, and the people they see are also all-encompassing. ”

Bang Bang Bang ...... Jiang Tian had to nod and high-five three times: "This is the essence of politics, the so-called national policy is nothing but to unite the majority to fight against a very small minority, and this majority and minority have no certain rules, and those who oppose the new policy in the court are the majority, because the illegal interests of officials are deprived." In this world, the majority of those who support the New Deal are magnified, because the interests of the people are magnified. Now that some people are trying to confuse the people and oppose the new policy, isn't it ridiculous that they are using their mantis arms as a car! ”

Zhang Huan, who was still a little confused, suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, as the crown prince of the royal family, the future emperor, where is his foundation? Even Confucianism pointed out that the people are the foundation of the country, and offending the powerful ministers of the court for the benefit of the people is not the natural mission of the imperial power? In other words, if the imperial power of any dynasty or generation can no longer check and balance officials, or officials cannot check and balance imperial power, it will inevitably lead to national turmoil or even a change of dynasty, isn't the former Ming Dynasty the best example? It seems that the father set up this political zhì class with good intentions, which is a science, it is clearly the art of slaying dragons, and the guide to rebellion @! It's no wonder it's not open to international students.

Zhang Tao's means are so simple, he doesn't have to send troops to suppress @ suppression, he just sent the army's literary and artistic soldiers, ran to the fields to promote the new deal in the form of art going to the countryside, and then arrested a few gunmen who incited public opinion to hold a public trial, and the truth was revealed as soon as it was qiē, even if the mastermind behind the scenes could not be caught, in this era of lack of entertainment, a new book, a new play can attract people from all over the country to come and watch, who else can make the wind and rain? If some ruffians coerce the masses by force, hehe...... That's really a long life. Even in some areas where the family power is more stubborn, Zhang Tao arranged for the demobilized soldiers to form a group to settle here, mixing sand with the local clan to destroy their ruling structure, and helping the weak families in the clan to become rich, which will eventually cause the local clans that have been unshakable for thousands of years to collapse, which can be referred to the later dynasties.

Destroy an old world, and you have to build a new one. This is what Jiang Tian and Zhang Tao have said, through the experience of the national dynasty, Zhang Tao knows that after he has dismantled the local stubborn forces, it is necessary to establish an effective grassroots management system, the original method of setting up party branches at the village level can not be carried out now, then it can be completely replaced by the method of demobilized soldiers acting as village officials. After all, in this era when the cult of personality for Zhang Tao reached its peak, any member of the new army was the emperor's most loyal soldier, and as long as Zhang Tao pointed at it, they would definitely rush to the front without hesitation, so before cultivating a large area of new-style officials, these people were the best pawns.

The civilian-bureaucratic clique also saw that the focus of contention would inevitably fall on the selection of future officials, so it had begun to focus on the layout of this year's Beijing government, and the old bureaucrats who still had some rights in various localities were desperately trying to make a fuss among the students who entered Beijing. So before the scientific examination, all kinds of open and secret battles around the examination indicators began.

Jiang Tian had nothing to do in this storm, although he was the proposer of the mathematics test paper, but the civil official group knew that it was impossible for him to leak the question in advance, and besides, the holy decree had already been clearly written, and this year he only took some extremely basic arithmetic, so they were not in a hurry to win over Jiang Tian. Besides, because of the equipment of new weapons, there has always been a constant struggle between the major generals, and everyone wants to do their best to equip those powerful magic weapons, so Jiang Tian, the inventor and producer, is as much as possible, just all kinds of banquets and gifts make him too busy, and this is not counting the attitude that King Ji inadvertently revealed, even Liu Baokai has the cheekiness to ask his father how much a repeating rifle is, and if the price is reasonable, he wants to buy some to send to the guards in the house.

"You go back and tell your father, if Your Majesty agrees with him to buy a gun privately, I can negotiate the price, if Your Majesty doesn't agree......" Jiang Tian skimmed @ wolf, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, does your father want to rebel?

Liu Baokai was also a little embarrassed, of course he knew that the possibility of this matter was extremely low, but he had to explain patiently: "It's not that my family has bad intentions, His Majesty allows the Duke's Mansion to have a personal guard, but the number is too small, so my father wants to buy some good guns to take care of the family." ”

I don't blame Old Man Liu for his active thoughts, he only has thirty guard indicators for his dignified dukedom, that is, a guard platoon. Even the prince of King Ji is only a hundred people, and at most he is a guard company. And his Liu family has a lot of business in the country, and it is common to go to sea to trade, which is really not enough. But after seeing the power of the bolt-action rifle that day, I remembered this sharp weapon. King Ji also showed interest in this gun, but after knowing the price of guns and ammunition, he stopped mentioning it, and only the wealthy Liu family dared to grit his teeth and say a word.

Of course, Zhang Tao would not let this kind of gun fall into the civilian population, even if he couldn't afford it, he couldn't let outsiders get it. So in the end, this gun was only a small batch of trial production, and it was turned into a technical reserve. In addition to the defective products, ten stable performance were selected, two gold-plated, three silver-plated, and the remaining five were copper-clad, and the golden gun Zhang Tao left one for himself and gave one to the inventor Jiang Tian, and the silver gun was given to King Ji, Liu Junding and the old man Song of the Academy of Sciences, and the remaining five copper-clad ones were rewarded to other meritorious veterans. In addition to these limited editions, there are about 30 qualified products, Zhang Tao announced that a big competition will be held in the whole army, and the 30 people with the highest marksmanship will be selected to distribute this gun, and these guns have become the highest honor that sharpshooters in the army dream of.

Smart people know that the so-called military competition is actually a gimmick, and its real significance is that the Northern Expedition has been converted from tactical demonstration and material reserves to the stage of military preparation, especially when new equipment emerges in an endless stream, and large-scale exercises are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness and use of new weapons.

Modern soldiers know that war mobilization and weapon research and development are very complex systems engineering, but people in this era do not have a deep understanding of this. So many people are very puzzled by Jiang Tian getting a golden gun, and even speculate, after all, there are only two guns in the world, although the official is a reward for the inventor, but this is not gold and silver jewelry or silk satin, the reward of gold-plated weapons is a very heavy event in ancient times, generally speaking, there is no difference between the monk and the sword, if Jiang Tian kills someone with this gun one day, unless the emperor orders to investigate, otherwise it is no different from the emperor personally killing! So what exactly does Zhang Tao want to do with this thing? Could it be that it was really the imperial gift of Shang Fang's sword, which gave Jiang Tiansheng the power to kill and take away?

Jiang Tian was also puzzled by this, so he took the opportunity of reporting to ask this question: "Since this shot arrived at my house, even the house sweeping out of the house has gone sideways, and many people have asked me if I want to open a separate upper room for it!" ”

"Hahaha......" Zhang Tao listened to it as if he had heard a big joke: "It's also my negligence, forgetting that people in this era like to be foolish about this matter, but it's okay, just let some people think about it, as long as I don't find it, they can keep muttering." ”

Although Jiang Tian understood his thoughts, he also said worriedly: "The key is that your brother only has a silver gun, what is the matter with me taking a handful of gold, doesn't it make it clear that he hates me?" ”

Zhang Tao shook his head disapprenosingly: "He's not so careful, and besides, I have given him a lot of things." ”

Seeing that he couldn't move Zhang Tao, Jiang Tian had to change the topic: "Recently, many people have asked me how much a bullet is, and which bullet is better for me to sell them?" ”

Because of the progress of firearms, the Chinese rifle no longer uses the traditional spherical lead bullet, but is fully replaced with jujube nuclear ammunition, and later found in the test, because the range of the new gun is extended, although it is still lethal at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, but with the kinetic energy of the lead bullet decreases and the penetration begins to decrease sharply, a large number of comparative tests have found that the main reason is that the propulsion of gunpowder is insufficient, and the lead bullet is softer, and it is quickly deformed after hitting the steel armor one hundred and fifty meters away and cannot break the armor, If you encounter the heavy cavalry wearing three layers of armor like the Manchu white armor soldiers, unless you happen to hit the exposed parts, you will not be able to effectively kill from a distance of 100 meters, so it will be pointless to extend the range. Therefore, Jiang Tian must develop a general-purpose bullet that can have armor-piercing ability and must meet the lethality of soft targets, which is semi-armor-piercing ammunition according to the classification of later generations. After more than ten minutes of contemplation, Jiang Tian drew a very unusual shape of a warhead, which looked like a stamen sticking out of a budding flower. After three months of frequent testing by the Academy of Sciences, this bullet became the standard ammunition without much change, and it was this bullet that became a lingering nightmare for the enemy.

Thanks to the tireless fried cold rice of various military magazines in later generations, as well as the official propaganda of the 5.8 mm series of ammunition, Jiang Tian, a half-baked military fan, can also comment on the various properties of the warhead, considering the processing level of this era, and the acquisition of precious metals is not easy, so Jiang Tian gave up the tall small-caliber ammunition, or used lead as the main material, and made the shape of the dummy bullet. However, in order to meet the penetration at a long distance, he planted an iron core in the middle of the bullet, and the lead may be blocked when hitting the armor, but a large part of the kinetic energy is transmitted to the iron core to continue to move forward and break the armor, and then because the lead bullet is deformed and the iron core is unstable, it begins to flip forward and kill the soft tissues behind the armor. After testing a donkey in armor, the Academy of Sciences concluded that the projectile could penetrate a single layer of armor even at 180 meters and inflict severe damage on the target, and within the effective range, unless it hit the limbs, the target could be seriously injured. And during the test of an unprotected target, a rifled gun was used and the bullet directly broke a dog into pieces at a distance of fifty meters! Later, Zhang Tao felt that the power of this ammunition was too great, so he switched to special ammunition and only distributed sharpshooters to deal with high-value targets. The final general-purpose ammunition retains the iron core in the middle, but the bullet completely becomes a jujube kernel type.

Jiang Tian asked this question today, and Zhang Tao remembered that the bolt-action rifle was more powerful because it had rifling, so he said without hesitation: "Of course, it is a reduced version of all lead, and each bullet must be numbered, and the cartridge case must be recovered separately!" ”

The technical difficulty of bolt-action rifles in this era is not rifling, but the first fire cap. Without this primer is not able to produce qualified fixed ammunition, once the bullet is controlled, then the gun can only be seen but not used furnishings, I am afraid that those who get this gun will soon discover the mystery of this, the greater the proportion of equipment with this weapon, the more dependence on military production, the lower the possibility of the army to get out of control, I am afraid that the real ambition will also hate this epoch-making invention. Zhang Tao also wanted to change clothes on a large scale, but unfortunately the complex production process and high cost made him, as the emperor, unable to even afford the budget for the forbidden army, so he only made a small amount of some and distributed them to sharpshooters.

Just when Jiang Tian was still fiddling with the sniper rifle equipped with a double scope, an unexpected thing was quietly coming, making his good life as a tech house come to an end.
