Zhao Yu heard a story in his previous life, saying that in ancient times, there was a woman who was touched by a little hooligan because of her hand, so she waved a knife and cut off her arm. At that time www.biquge.info, I felt that this thing was really incredible, and I felt that feudal etiquette killed individuals and turned good people into madmen.

What Zhao Yu never expected today was that he became a victim today, and this was only because he saved her life, so he had to marry her. If it was in his previous life, he would have hoped that this kind of thing would happen when a hero saved the beauty and hugged the beauty, but it was a natural affair between the two people. Instead of this kind of blind marriage and dumb marriage, forced marriage, forced marriage, forced to stuff yourself for such a little thing.

However, Zhao Yu also knew that he couldn't blame anyone, and he couldn't resist, even if he was the emperor, he couldn't jump out of this prison, otherwise he would be intolerable by this society. It's really strange that I can only blame myself for coming a little late, if it had been a year or two hundred earlier, even if it was a few decades, this kind of thing would not have happened. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the status of women was still quite high, and the social atmosphere was open, even not far from the Tang Dynasty.

And everything changed in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers went south for the second time to surround Bianjing, in order to survive, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong actually took more than 10,000 court, clan and capital women as collateral, and mortgaged them to the Jin army at a clear price. In the camp of the Jin army, they were ** and ravaged. The Jin soldiers retreated north, and these women were escorted by the Jin army to move north, and experienced hardships and mass deaths on the way.

After arriving in the capital of the Jin Kingdom, they were sent to the laundry house for the pleasure of the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom, the major imperial villages of the Jin Emperor, and rewarded them to the generals of the Jin army, and even went to the people, being sold into slavery and prostitution. In the "Jingkang Difficulty", the history of the Northern Song Dynasty's harem concubines and clan women all being taken captive to the north as slaves and prostitutes is not only an unspeakable shame for the Southern Song people, but also a driving force for the Southern Song Dynasty people to resist the southward movement of the Jin soldiers.

For Southern Song Dynasty Taoists, this disaster also sounded the alarm bell: in the Southern Song Dynasty, when ethnic contradictions were extremely acute, the frequent invasions of the Jin army would cause women to suffer the bad luck of chastity at any time. How to keep women's chastity in the face of defeat on the battlefield has become a concern of Taoists, who abandoned the concept of emphasizing survival over chastity in the Northern Song Dynasty and advocated that women sacrifice their lives to protect chastity, which was gradually accepted by scholars and doctors.

However, this concept of chastity was not accepted by the world at first, and it was only circulated in a very small area, and was even forbidden to spread by the imperial court. It was not until the reign of Emperor Ningzong that the edict prohibiting science was gradually lifted, after which Zhu Xi's ideas became more and more valued by the rulers and society. Since then, the concept of chastity flaunted by Ercheng and Zhu Zi has gradually spread.

After the repeated preaching of the Taoists and the vigorous propaganda of the rulers, people's concepts and customs gradually changed, not only the scholars and doctors valued chastity, but even the ordinary people in society also had this concept of chastity, and the science of science was able to flourish, but it was also at this time. From the beginning to the end, the husband died and did not marry, and the behavior of humiliation and martyrdom was widely recognized and accepted by the society, and today Zhao Yu caught up with such a play.

Although Zhao Hao was angry, he was not yet confused. He knew that if he resolutely opposed this marriage, it would not be impossible, but it would be equivalent to confronting the whole society, going against the current trend, and he would definitely be abandoned by the entire group of scholars and even the common people. Because he had violated their moral standards and code of conduct, he couldn't even think of being a loner at that time, but maybe that fool could still be by his side.

If this result could be expected at that time, Zhao Yu believed that he would still go back to do it, after all, he was still a 'good person'. But let him give up everything in front of him, he admitted that he couldn't do it, and he didn't dare. Because now once you give up this chair under your buttocks, the identity of the royal family, then you are nothing, and whether you can survive in this troubled world is a question.

If you are timid, you have to pay the price, but this price is just to get a wife, but Zhao Yu can bear it, but the psychology is as disgusting as eating a fly. He was extremely uncomfortable with this resentment, but he couldn't spit it out, and he had to swallow it alive and digest it. Although this is very painful and boring, Zhao Yu understands that this may be the price for the monarch, God will give you a piece of candy first, and then he will definitely give you a bitter gourd to eat, anyway, it will not make you comfortable......

Zhao Hao also figured it out, since he couldn't change the reality, he could only adapt. At present, the upward trend seems to have stabilized and the situation is very good, but it is also facing a huge crisis. Now that we are at the end of July, and the rainy season will gradually end in three months, the Mongols will surely attack Qiong in a big way, and no one is sure whether they will survive this hurdle.

If Qiongzhou is lost, he will become a homeless man again, and even his life will not be guaranteed, who dares to guarantee that the Li family can still be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and insist on marrying his daughter to him? Therefore, Zhao Yu felt that there was no need to worry about the future, and it was most important to do the things in front of him. He sat up and looked at the huge room, where his designs were displayed on one side of the long table, and on the other side were various models that were completed or unfinished.

Zhao Yu got up and touched the models that had soaked his heart and soul one by one, most of these were weapons that he 'designed', but most of them were difficult to manufacture under the current conditions. For example, the barrel of artillery, this thing is not difficult for him to design, and the current technology can be built after trial production, but he has given up for the time being.

Because the manufacture of body-barreled artillery first needs metal, and it is a good quality metal, otherwise it is difficult to withstand the pressure generated by the deflagration of gunpowder. And the best material at present is copper, which has both a certain strength and toughness. But Zhao Yu couldn't afford it, Qiongzhou was already short of copper, and there were no mineral deposits, so it could only be exchanged through trade, or smuggled at a high price. It's okay to build a few ballistae for fun, but it's hard to replace the existing ballistae on a large scale and do everything you can.

The other is to cast guns in iron, which is the development trend and the condition for large-scale equipment of troops. Because of the large reserves of iron, the price is cheap, and the technical indicators can also be reached. At present, although Qiongzhou has begun to build mines and smelt, the quality of Zhao Yu is really not flattering, and if you want to get usable steel, you need to reprocess. Among them, the loss and labor costs are not affordable in the industry.

In addition, the current production of weapons, shells, shipbuilding, and agricultural tools requires a large amount of steel, and the output of the iron yard is far from meeting the demand. However, Zhao Yu did not give up, and while increasing production, he was also trying to improve the process. Although he has been involved in this, he is not a professional after all, and he still needs to explore and experiment before it can be put into large-scale production, and the good news is that some progress has been made after experiments.

The ballista is different, the wood used in its manufacture can be inexhaustible in Qiongzhou, where the primeval forest is dense, and the processing technology is relatively simple, and there is already a group of skilled craftsmen, all kinds of conditions can meet the large-scale production. The power and range of the ballista are not inferior to the current barreled artillery, and even occupy an advantage in terms of rate of fire, range and portability, and all departments have been equipped in large numbers with skilled gunners. Therefore, Zhao Yu temporarily gave up the idea of developing a body-barreled artillery.

However, this does not mean that Zhao Hao has given up the development and installation of new weapons. In previous operations, ballistas and rockets can be said to have played a decisive role, and now there is not much room for improvement of ballistas, and all that needs to be done is to increase production and quality. However, there is still room for improvement in the rocket, and in the process of use, its unmarked hit rate and the balance bar that occupies space and affects the long length of action are the most criticized.

Zhao Hao pondered for a long time about this, and thought that the best way to solve these two problems at the same time is to replace the balance bar with a rear wing, or install a tail nozzle. After experiments and comprehensive consideration, he decided that it would be more appropriate to install a tail nozzle, that is, to change the original one straight nozzle to six nozzles, each nozzle and the center line of the rocket are deflected at a small angle, after the rocket is ignited, the gas side pushes the rocket forward, and at the same time pushes the rocket to rotate like an ordinary rifled gun, so as to ensure the stability of the rocket in flight.

In order to save costs and consider the manufacturing process, Zhao Yu used ceramic firing for the rocket charge chamber and tail nozzle, which was not a problem at all in the Song Dynasty, where the porcelain-making process was extremely mature, and the porcelain was resistant to high temperatures and would not be burned by gunpowder combustion, while the warheads were still made of cast iron, which were combined after they were made. After many tests, the entire rocket was 4 feet 3 inches long, 3 inches and 5 minutes in diameter, the warhead charge was 5 catties, and the maximum firing range reached 1,200 steps.

After the improvement, the stability of the rocket flight has been improved, and the hit rate is still not flattering, but there will be no such thing as a hundred steps off the bull's-eye, especially if it does not occur in the air. Zhao Yu is very satisfied with this level, because rockets are still the most suitable for attacking targets with large areas and less precise positioning in modern times, and they use the characteristics of large coverage areas to attack multiple aiming points. However, it cannot be used to attack targets that are too close to your troops, nor can they be used in areas that your troops are going to occupy or pass through.

And after the transformation, the rocket has another disadvantage - it is not easy to carry. If there is a large vibration or a drop from a height, the ceramic projectile is easy to break. Zhao Hao's solution is very simple, the warhead and the medicine room are respectively held in wooden boxes, and there are more straw in them, anyway, these things are everywhere in the field, and the cost is almost zero. However, there are also advantages, if the rocket fails and does not explode, it will fall and break, and it is difficult to imitate it.

Because the shape of the rocket body has changed, the original launcher can no longer be used, so Zhao Yu redesigned the launcher. He originally wanted to make it a modern multiple rocket launcher, which could be launched in a salvo or alone, but it was not very easy to use once it was experimented. Because it is limited to the current direct-ignition method, if you light one, the tail flame will ignite all the other rockets, and you can't fire a salvo if you don't want to.

In the end, it was not possible to transform it into six pipes, which were divided into two layers, three on the first floor. The distance between the layers is increased, and a flame shield is added, so that you can also do three salvos, and it is not indispensable to hit one shot at a time, just reload one at a time. Now the production of new rockets has begun, and gunners have begun to train and explore ways to use them so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

In addition, Zhao Yu also increased the production of landmines, of course, this kind of landmines are no longer only the primary products of the original 'enemy comes and ignites'. Thanks to the success of the trial production of spring steel, he used it to make a clockwork, which, when the mechanism was triggered, drove the steel wheel to strike the flint and ignite, thus igniting the gunpowder, which would explode. In this way, mines can be pre-positioned in the enemy's path and the road can be blocked.

If the sealing is strengthened, the mine can also be transformed into a mine, and the anchor block can be placed in a fixed water area, and the mechanism will be triggered if a ship collides and drags. However, due to the rudimentary nature of the mechanism, automatic identification cannot be guaranteed, and the giant wave can detonate it. However, Zhao Yu knows that the role of mines is more of a deterrent, and a lucky ship will never encounter it in a lifetime, but the unlucky will be triggered when he goes out. But as long as one or two ships are blown up, no one dares to move, because courage is often not as good as luck......

The development and manufacture of so many new types of weapons has also produced an inevitable side effect of increasing combat effectiveness, that is, it requires huge investments in research and development and production, but it cannot produce economic benefits. Because whether it is an artillery shell or a rocket, it is a consumable, and it is impossible to recover it whether it is fired or not, and it is equivalent to throwing money. And Zhao Yu spared no effort and spent a huge amount of money to develop new weapons, which was also a helpless move.

Zhao Hao also calculated an account, if the soldiers are also counted as costs, the population of the small land of Qiongzhou trapped in him is only a few hundred thousand, and the number of young and strong people who can serve in the army is only 200,000 at most. The Mongols controlled thousands of miles of land, and even after the bloody massacre, the population was still in the tens of millions, and they were compared with heaven and earth in this respect, and there was no comparison in terms of manpower consumption.

However, if you want to form a parity with the enemy and reduce the consumption of soldiers, you can only increase the cost of other aspects and increase the consumption of the enemy, in order to achieve balance. Only by taking the road of elite troops, making large investments in weapons and equipment, and thus enhancing the overall combat effectiveness of the armed forces, can we achieve the goal of winning by fighting 10 against 10 or even by 100 against 100 of them.

However, this road is also not easy to take, money is only a secondary aspect at the moment, because Zhao Yu also knows that every revolution in weapons is also a revolution in the quality of soldiers, after all, no matter how good a weapon is, it also needs people to operate, and it needs strategies and tactics suitable for the use of new weapons, and this requires the training of corresponding talents and soldiers. Otherwise, he will become the captain of the transport brigade, give all the good things to the enemy, and he will still not escape defeat......
