Speaking of which, Wang Anshi has always wanted to set up a professional public security team and an industrial construction team, and intends to give them a "career editor". However, Sima Guang and other science parties resolutely oppose the establishment of people below the head of the capital, which can be regarded as serving for Mao to pay wages? Do you want to give the preparation for Mao?

Wang Anshi said, "That's what I'm going to do."

Thus the new law of errand service was enacted. Da Song has a professional and well-organized public security team. However, as soon as Wang Anshi left, the tea was cold, Sima Guang forcefully abolished the errand service law, and all the public security officers were once again "laid off to find their own way out", and the small leaders found a new group of "temporary workers who do not receive wages to assist in the service" to do these jobs, which can be regarded as national service, and can also be called community joint defense or something.

These are the great tears of the century carried out by Wang Anshi and Sima Guang around the issue of establishment, the two of them are real mortal enemies, and they both say that the other is a heretic.

It's far away.

At the scene of the fire dragon position, the final preparations were underway, and a large soldier with something similar to a mop began to poke the barrel of the cannon.

At the beginning, it was rumored that the flintlock pistol should be masturbated before firing was a false proposition, but for cannons, it was necessary to poke the inner tube with a mop before firing the cannon.

Among the onlookers, there was a considerable group of people who looked strange, which seemed to be ...... It's kind of like those shameless things, huh? In view of this, a few skeletal surprise guys have coined new words, describing those things between men and women as "one shot".

After hearing the new words of these disgraced people, Wang Yan almost fell, sweat, it turns out that I made this allusion again?

"Get out of the way, you can't, I'll come."

Chen Ergou was very excited to kick a small soldier away, took the strangely shaped mop, and personally poked it into the barrel a few times, wanting to temporarily form a "smooth surface" in order to achieve the maximum fit with the cannonball, so as to make the most effective Jose movement.

While operating, Chen Ergou explained to the people who eat melons.

Mu Guiying couldn't stand these uneducated soldiers and ruffians, so she said with a face like the bottom of a pot: "Damn, the old lady will hang you in public, hurry up, hurry up...... Firecrackers! ”

"Yes!" Chen Ergou stood upright.

Stuff the large gunpowder paper bag in, poke it with the mop a few more times, and then stuff in the shells.

This process is touched, after a masturbation similar to "foreplay", the entry of the cannonball is not only tight, but also very smooth, which can be felt by Ergou, who is very satisfied with this.

"Fire!"

Boom Boom

More than seventy fire dragons began to roar in turn, and the field guns with shock absorbers and force relief devices were like dominoes falling, and they retreated in turn after firing the cannons.

The momentum is very amazing, the scene is very shocking, and neat!

I saw that the mud wall targets erected on the other side of the river were swallowed up in a series of roars.

Such a wheel unloading design will eat up a certain amount of power and range, but it can effectively protect the wheel system and the gun body when the materials and processes are still immature.

Despite this, it is enough, the range of this batch of fire dragons has reached more than 2,500 steps, if it is necessary to officially start a positional battle with the Western Xia army next, this is an effective means to suppress the Western Xia cavalry cluster from a distance!

Dong Yu and Qingyi don't understand artillery, but after seeing it, they understand that the cavalry was born, this is the artifact of positional warfare, and the name of the fire dragon is well deserved, and they contain the power of the incomparable dragon.

"Awesome!"

"Wow, that's horrible."

"The Buddha is above, this is the absolute power to avenge my river!"

"I'm glad that Song is not our enemy."

At this point, the religious ideology was seriously watching, not amazed but worshipped, and with pious thoughts, one after another people knelt in the snow and kowtowed.

Now they fully believe that the Great Song Dynasty is the kingdom of the gods, and they can use the dead to form the power of the fire dragon to urge some evil enemies.

The momentum brought by this round of roaring of the fire dragon, Dong Yu and Qingyi Ghost Zhang were a little embarrassed with their mouths half open. They are all trying their best to avoid the influence of the Song army in this region, but in fact, strength is king, and just a salvo of fire dragons has such a worship effect.

This is human nature, and people always yearn for advanced and powerful forces. Just as Japan worships the United States, China's Luo Hammer worships Japan.

Looking at the embarrassed demeanor of Qingyi's face like the bottom of a pot, Wang Yan's mouth smiled crookedly, this is the meaning of advancement, this is the desired result.

With the non-cooperation of Dong Yu and Qingyi, Song Guo's benevolence and righteousness cannot be spread, and he should use muscles to coerce. Such an approach must be feasible for a certain period of time.

Regarding field artillery, there are now more than seventy pieces in two phases, and soon a third phase will arrive, and the total number will be even more.

This required a considerable part of the combat force to be organized into artillery.

After repeated demonstrations and experiments, Mu Guiying pointed out from the technical level: from maneuvering to maintenance, from professional, effective and safe transportation, gunpowder storage, efficient connection of artillery shells, to maneuvering, retreating, cleaning, overhaul and so on, four gunpowder soldiers, two artillery crews, two executive gunners, one main gun commander and one deputy gun commander, and some cattle and horses are also needed.

That is, ten people can effectively achieve the complete deployment of a fire dragon. Then it can be seen that in the future, there will be many people who will become second-line artillerymen.

Wang Yan disagreed with Mu Guiying's point of view, and said with a smile in the snow: "The eldest lady is conservative, there is no need to save manpower here, in order to achieve more effective maneuver and connection, you can relax a little, more than fifteen people are responsible for a fire dragon, and there is no need for war horses to participate." Because the war horse will be greatly affected by the fire dragon, the fire dragon will not be able to run fast even if it maneuvers, and in this case, the war horse is far from being reliable. So with the addition of the third phase, a total of more than 200 fire dragons, I think it is possible to strip out two integrated armies of 5,000 people for transfer and matching. ”

Ma Jinxi frowned and said: "Even if our army has been reorganized now, compared to Western Xia, the main force of the battle is still weak. In this case, I am afraid that there will be an impact on the transfer of too many main combat forces away from the front line? ”

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "There is no impact, on the contrary, there are benefits." The Jishi Army is not the Funing Army, and even if the ideological problem is grasped, the combat quality cannot be solved in a short period of time. In this case, the deployment of them too much on the front line is a negative factor affecting morale and combat efficiency. Deploying the largest number of them in the second line is a second-line unit with strong technical professionalism and no need to fight with real swords and guns, but on the contrary, it is an act of calming their hearts and improving their morale. ”

In this regard, Mu Guiying said with deep understanding: "Yes, the biggest source of the morale and combat power of the Funing Army is: Xiang Gong turned hand-to-hand combat that required real knives and real guns, relying on flintlock pistols into more technical long-range strikes. Whether others admit it or not, but I dare to say that no one in the world wants to die, and it is difficult to train effective troops who dare to fight hand-to-hand, basically just General Di Qing's more than 1,000 teams, even the Funing army is inferior to them. But the number of people who dare to participate in long-range strikes will expand to more than fifty times, and the birth of Xianggong's flintlock pistol is to greatly reduce the threshold of war from the technical level, which will have a subversive impact on the future pattern of war. It also indicates that the war potential of our Great Song Dynasty is being rapidly strengthened in the drastic reform of Xianggong. ”

……

Since the snow started, the temperature has dropped rapidly, and it is already very cold.

In the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, Wang Yan was dressed like a hairy bear, and there were many warm basins around him.

At the beginning, the desk was considered a concubine, and it was also sent to the headquarters. Now Wang Yan is on this desk, under the dim oil lamp, reviewing many documents.

In addition to the affairs of the Volunteer Army, there are also many matters to be asked about by the Machinery Industry Bureau, such as the railway construction plan from the Daimyo's Mansion to Tokyo and from the Suide Army to the Security Army.

Construction is not a problem. At present, the Industrial Bureau's own "First Railway Engineering Bureau" has not yet begun to be formed, but the first railway design institute is in its initial form, and it is considered to be under the Industrial Bureau, and some people are transferred from Funing County and some from Shen Kuo, and this team will carry out the design and demonstration of the two railways.

After the plan is available, it will be handed over to Ye Wushuang or the little uncle to build.

Regarding the issue of funding, Wang Yan was not in Beijing and could not be coordinated with Wang Gongchen. Now the initial plan is to use the "Machinery Industry Regulations" issued by Wang Yan to raise funds through spontaneous bonds.

In fact, it doesn't take much money to build railways now, and including the money to buy land from local governors and gentry, it is estimated that it will not exceed 12 guan a mile, so even if you build 2,000 li, it will only be tens of thousands.

It's just that Wang Yan needs to build an effective fundraising environment and soil now. In the future, we can more smoothly draw liquidity out of the hands of the local tyrants of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the wilderness era, construction was so cheap. Twelve runs and one mile is already very cheap, or because the political guidance of the Great Song Dynasty is more kind, and some political correctness must abide by it, so they will ask for this price. Otherwise, when the western part of the United States was developed, how much would it cost General Grant to build the railway? The federal government pays the capitalists no more than two dollars per mile of railroad costs.

At that time, the U.S. dollar was indeed very valuable, but in terms of purchasing power, it was equal to the consistent amount of money in the Great Song Dynasty. How can an oligarch like the Pacific Union Railroad build a railroad for two dollars a mile?

It's also very simple, no demolition fee is given, and the American cavalry is responsible for killing the indigenous nail households that stop on the road, turning them all into fertilizer on the land.

Then a large number of black slaves were used, who worked at least eighteen hours a day, and those who died of illness and exhaustion did not need to be paid tribute to, and were buried under the railroad. As long as a few white men with good marksmanship were hired, the "railway police station" under the jurisdiction of the railway company itself was established, and several waves of black slaves who were rhythmic or escaped were successfully and effectively killed, and the remaining slave workers entered the "automatic rate", and they could do their work very quickly without the presence of white overseers.

That's the two-dollar railroad. At that time, these oligarchs were infinitely close to the former East India Company, their own railway police station, the frontal local police station and even the guard were not too many times, and even some state government land was "demolished" by them, because sometimes the state government was also a nail household, blocking their railway crossing.

In fact, this is how they rose to prominence the lighthouse empire of freedom, democracy, enlightenment, the rule of law, and human rights over sovereignty.

In the empire where the sun never sets, the royal capital of London was shrouded in smog for a long time, not to mention the black slaves, who were their own "regular working whites", and the average working hours per day were also fifteen hours.

There will certainly be no unwarranted success, or success is no accident. The Great Song Dynasty was relatively lazy, and now the twelve-hour working system of state-owned enterprises formulated by Dayan has begun to be criticized by some talented literati, and words such as sweatshops have begun to appear. Therefore, compared to those big rogue empires, this is absolutely a lack of stability maintenance and propaganda work, and it is still not obscene enough.

We must take advantage of this opportunity, while we can still afford to build a dozen or so miles, to build as many railways as possible.

In addition, in addition to the "development and construction fund" accumulated by the machinery factory and smelter in the past, Daeyan has announced that it will invest in the research and development of new transport ships.

This is because the transportation bottleneck of the Great Song Dynasty is becoming more and more obvious, and many mainline railways will not be opened to traffic soon, so the inefficient river transportation needs to be reformed, that is: large ships with steam engine thrust.

Ships with sails and manpower are really weak.

However, there is a problem here, even if the second-generation steam engine has been effectively miniaturized, it is still larger and heavier overall, and in this case, it is impossible to match small boats for inland waterways. Therefore, at least 1,000-ton ships should be developed.

Using a steam engine and removing clumsy and tall sails, large ships can indeed cross arch bridges in various places, but there is a problem, most inland rivers are very shallow, and the draft of large ships must not be deep. Therefore, it is faced with the fact that steel cannot be used, and high buoyancy wood with a specific gravity of 0.7 must be used, and in addition to this, it can only be a "flat-bottomed boat with ultra-low draft and ultra-low center of gravity".

In this era, the Song people's shipbuilding skills are indeed the deepest. However, the structural strength of the flat-bottomed ship was inherently flawed, and it required a large tonnage load-bearing, and it also needed to match the steam engine with high vibration and low thrust-to-weight ratio.

This creates a difficult problem that requires an investment of manpower and material resources.

Frankly speaking, iron ships are really easy to build, and even the cost is low. But wood is another technology tree idea, in order to build a load-bearing and efficient flat-bottomed wooden ship, driven by a rumbling steam engine for long-distance transportation without falling apart, it requires a very strong and systematic wood technology skills.

Fortunately, the technology of bridge building and shipbuilding in the Great Song Dynasty is definitely ahead of the times, and there are a large number of people with carpentry background, just like the chair made by Lao Luo Dad in Funing County at that time.

That's the extra work of the Great Demon Lord at war.

Mu Guiying, Ma Jinxi, Chen Ergou and others watched him review and sign three different plans submitted by Shen Kuo on the "Research and Development of Flat-bottomed Mechanically Powered Wooden Boats" on this simple and cold night in Zongcheng.

Yes, all three programs are launched together.

In terms of understanding of wood, Lao Luo's thinking is a little different from Shen Kuo's, and the two have differences on the plan of the flat-bottomed boat. In addition, through Zhang Fangping's relationship, he "stole" a set of plans for reference from the secrets of the craftsman's supervisor. So there were three schemes, and Wang Yan allowed them to verify together.

The reason why Zhang Fangping's old hooligan was so active in finding connections to get the secret of the craftsman as a supervisor was to attract investment in Beijing, because the shipyard under the Industrial Bureau decided to be built in Beijing, and the name was Beijing Shipyard.

"It's amazing, the big demon king has a fart deal with the old rascal again."

This was Song Guomin's first impression of the shipyard incident......
