Chapter 304: There is still a long way to go before Tutu Tutu
"One-two-one, one-two-one......"
The training of new recruits is still in continuous and intense progress.
Ma Jinsi was responsible for training their hard-working will, physical strength, and discipline.
Di Yong is considered a political commissar, this guy has always been like a literary youth, and he admires Da Yan's quotations and patterns very much, so he is responsible for the brainwashing of recruits and organizing life or something. This guy has some talent bonuses in this regard, he is Di Qing's son, Di Qing, as a person who has risen from the bottom, has real experience in how to communicate with the grassroots leaders.
In fact, it is still Wang Yan's emphasis on the importance of "not detaching from the grassroots", so at this level, Zhanzhao's martial arts are useless no matter how famous they are, and they are more than one grade worse than Di Yong. Mu Guiying is better than Zhanzhao, but it is far inferior to Di Yong and Ma Jinxi.
Therefore, Mu Guiying and Zhanzhao are the generals and deputy generals of the Funing Army in reputation, but the people who actually carry out the work are Ma Jinxi and Di Yong. Mu Guiying Zhanzhao's current work is not only guarding, but also carrying out "research and development" at the theoretical level.
For example, Mu Guiying will combine his own experience like a chief instructor, explain the "potential" to them, and then talk about the cooperation and application of small teams, such as five or six people, in local tactics.
And Zhanzhao is like a deputy chief instructor, telling them some "attitudes" and aggressive mentality. He also summarized some simple and practical hand-to-hand combat skills, which were simplified into eight combat styles and handed over to them. This is not a master, but it is a very practical thing, as long as you work hard, you can greatly reduce the bloodshed when they face fighting.
As for Wang Yan's rarely showing up, Wang Yan's job is to co-ordinate. Pay attention to the working methods of Ma Jin, Di Yongzhan, and Mu Guiying, and then record their "lesson plans" for summary and compilation.
This is Wang Yan's trial and error. If you find problems, you will correct them, and if you find characteristics, you will record them and follow up and observe, so that these will be like the "notes, drawings, and experiences" accumulated in the Northwest Investment Bank at the beginning, which are the accumulation of big birds, and will eventually slowly form a unified teaching material for future military schools.
Da Yan felt that he was the real literati and handsome, and the princes who were against the poems in Bianjing were not.
These things need to be coordinated by Wang Yan in every detail, so if you really talk about the direct government affairs of Funing County, there is not much, it is nothing more than a cursory look at the documents submitted by Anton Geng Tianqiu in Berlin and sign the instructions, but Wang Yan is always very busy.
Little Bell always watched the big duck busy until late at night, but he didn't realize it.
In addition to compiling military school textbooks, Wang Yan was also busy compiling a small number of basic knowledge that still existed in his memory, such as chemistry, physics, arithmetic, and geometry at the most basic level.
The real internal strength is these. The brains of those traversers in Wang Yan's head will actually burn out soon, so the seeds must be sown now for the next generation to follow these paths. It turned out to be the right way to go.
Wang Yan's knowledge reserve in this regard is really not much, and he has almost forgotten it. But it is enough to enlighten the children of ancient times, use some magical phenomena and simple experiments, and arouse their interest.
The next step is the point.
When these seeds are widely sown, most of them will become better skilled workers, and a few will become successful teachers who will soon become teachers who educate others.
On this basis, if you encounter one or two Mu Guiying Zhanzhao similar to martial arts, then there is no doubt that any discipline will have made great progress and far exceed the existing foundation and experience of Dayan.
This process does not have to worry about detours and crooked teaching trees. Because of Wang Yan's checks, Wang Yan has indeed forgotten almost all the relevant knowledge, but Wang Yan will definitely be able to understand it when others put forward theories, and then it will be more mature in the historical process, and Wang Yan can easily judge whether the line is crooked or not.
In short, these are very ambitious projects, which are difficult to do and slow to achieve results, but with the gradual improvement of Funing County's finances, it is necessary to start and start building this structure.
Otherwise, Wang Yan's pitiful knowledge reserves will soon be exhausted, and he may be able to kill the Western Xia and Liao States before they run out. But this is not obscene enough, Wang Yan's goal is to see the Great Song Dynasty's strategic bomber clusters fly over the Mediterranean Sea with his own eyes before retiring from the position of prime minister in the future.
Speaking of suddenness, the closest to this goal at the moment is the flintlock pistol project, but even this project is not in a hurry, there are still too many differences.
Wang Yan is also improving the gunpowder process at the same time. There are many issues involved in doing this, such as the summary of the secrecy mechanism, political sensitivity, and so on.
Small-scale research and development and testing of gunpowder, and in this place where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, that is possible. But to prepare for future mass production, there are many political issues to be solved, and it is necessary to think about the PR approach.
In addition to these policy things, there are also a lot of technical issues.
The material sources of gunpowder are relatively extensive, and for the traverser, the optimal ratio is also directly data. But these are actually not the point, even if you know the ratio, you can't take it out.
The gunpowder made by Wang Yan himself on a small scale many times is indeed more powerful than that of the Great Song Dynasty craftsmen, but the problem is still very big. There is still a lot to improve. As a result, even if it is a high-quality gun made by Lao Luo's father, the effective range will stop at about 500 steps.
At that time, Wang Yan secretly changed the concept, and being able to break the mud bricks in 500 steps does not mean that he can kill people, but may only be injured.
Especially when the other party wears a good quality leather armor, it is not good, because the result of Wang Yan's personal test is that the cowhide with good treatment technology cannot be penetrated by a flintlock pistol in five hundred steps, let alone metal armor.
It seems that gunpowder does not seem to have any technical threshold, and only when it is actually trial-produced does it really know that "one minute on the stage and ten years of work off the stage". It is not enough to have a ratio, each link can affect the quality of gunpowder, such as the source of charcoal, the purity of sulfur saltpeter and the treatment process.
At the beginning, Da Yan made these mistakes with confidence, thinking that after finding things and mixing them according to the proportions, the power of the flintlock pistol would be off the charts, but it couldn't!
The first two gunpowder made by the big duck himself was garbage, the color was completely wrong, the smoke was loud and unpleasant, and the burning speed was slow, not the feeling of "bursting out with a bang".
Yes, the ratio is the ratio, but the rough process has led to a lot of useless impurities, I don't know what's inside, and even the dandruff of the workers is mixed in? In addition to these, including soaking, compaction, crushing, screening and other processes, there are great secrets in it. Even the shape and size of the particles that are mixed can ultimately affect the amount of energy at the time of the explosion.
What about the traverser, starting from the source of the basic raw materials, all these processes are called "craftsmanship". If these things are not up to the mark, you will definitely not be able to take out a flintlock pistol with a range of 800 paces.
Therefore, there are too many places waiting for improvement, according to Wang Yan's experience, purely in terms of the accuracy and rifling level of the gun made by Lao Luo's father, if there is really a full-blooded version of black powder, the firing range will eventually reach 1,500 steps.
Even if it is a scaled down production version, it must reach a thousand steps to be qualified. So even the big goose was faced with these egg pain problems, and the Western Xia barbarian took away a remnant blood version of the flintlock pistol blueprint to have an egg. If there is a drawing of F22 in India, and there is an egg to use?
In addition to the process problems, there are other problems, that is, quality control and safety issues after mass production. Gunpowder is something that explodes, burns, and kills. As a wearer in the experimental stage, the problem that can be carefully eliminated does not mean that those ignorant semi-child laborers can ensure quality and safe production during mass production.
So even gunpowder has returned to the current problem of flintlock pistols, and of course there is no threshold for technology. However, the management process and process in the state of mass production of the assembly line are two major obstacles. If these problems cannot be solved, it will not be called industrialization, but a plaything, which can be regarded as a project for the children of the fool to cheat the funds.
However, these are all intensively carried out public relations. A secret workshop has also been set up in the Northwest Machinery Factory, and the gunpowder project has been launched. This project is confidential and criminal, and if it is discovered by the ministers of the imperial court, it is really responsible, because there is only one institution within the Great Song Dynasty that can make this thing, that is, the craftsman supervisor, and the military supervisor of the Ministry of Law and War does not have this manufacturing authority.
Lao Luo Dad and the existing team don't have much experience in this regard, but what is valuable is that they have accumulated a lot of valuable experience in material handling, production process and process control, so they are relatively familiar with it......
The secret agent group of the underground party leader Di Yong who stayed on the side of the Suide Army sent news: Cao Shouyi has moved. After Wang Yan publicly sentenced Cao Qing to death, Cao Shouyi did not plan to do public relations from Dali Temple in the capital, but planned to rescue Cao Qing from the prison.
There is nothing wrong with Lao Cao's decision. Because this kind of problem is difficult to overturn, unless Cao Qing is a literati.
Otherwise, even if the "death sentence" is rejected from the level of Dali Temple, it is impossible to exonerate the crime. When it comes to this kind of internal spy and conspiracy, even the loose Great Song Dynasty is overkill, and it is clear that this is the "civil and military force" of Wang Yan and Cao Shouyi at the political level. So there was no surprise, an acquaintance in the Yongxing Military Road Criminal Division, an experienced magistrate, gave Cao Shouyi's suggestion: It is possible to reject the death penalty, but as long as Wang Yan dares to risk offending the Cao family and forcibly sentences, Cao Qing's exoneration is basically useless.
Then Lao Cao, of course, only has to work hard. In the current political situation, when the emperor was critically ill, there were rumors that "the queen was plotting rebellion". Maybe the rumors are just rumors, just jokes. If the queen really plotted rebellion, how could she survive until now?
But sometimes the truth is not important, and under the current political situation with such rumors, once the people of the Cao family are really convicted by Wang Yan with this issue, politically it will be a disaster for the Cao family. Therefore, the person can only be rescued before it is confirmed. There are no people, and Cao Qing has never signed a confession document, so it has become an undecided unsolved case.
As for who did it? Of course, everything is possible in the border areas, and the Tanguts did. Now everyone knows that Wang Yan captured an important figure in Western Xia.
When Xixia rescued people, he messed up the prison, and Cao Qing disappeared in the chaos. These logics are what Cao Shouyi needs. This logic will indeed be extended to the question that Cao Qing is really a spy in Western Xia, but it will not set the tone. There is no picture and no truth, no one is there, and the case is not closed, so it can also be the logic of "Wang Yan directed and acted to take revenge on the Cao family". The consequences are much lighter than those of being formally closed by the imperial court.
These are what Cao Shouyi wanted, so in mid-May, a major case broke out in Funing County in the northwest, and it was rumored that the dungeon had been hijacked, and the two important suspects personally arrested by Shenjiyan were missing.
This robbery was done very cleverly, and the investigation results reported by Zhanzhao to Wang Yan were: it is more likely that someone from the eight masters of the Daomen made a move, or even Lu Chunyang himself took action.
At this point, Wang Yan knew in his heart, of course Cao Shouyi was not stupid enough to make a move by himself to do this kind of thing, and he would definitely find Cao Qing and her master Lu Chunyang for help. However, the official caliber of Funing County cannot openly proclaim that it was done by Daomen. So Wang Yan remained silent and did not speak about this incident, and Cao Shouyi was making a big fuss: it was the destruction and revenge that Wang Yan suffered after offending the Western Xia people.
As for how did Wang Yan offend the Western Xia people? Who the hell knows, and who cares about the truth.
This matter is destined to be a stain on Wang Yan and a mistake in his political achievements. But it will not happen for the time being, and it will be considered by the ministers of the imperial court at the end of the year. However, at that time, Wang Yan's economic success could cover up all the ugliness, so that the extremely money-short court ignored all the shortcomings of Da Yan......
