In March of the first year of Jingkang, there was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping in the city of Suzhou.

Qin Mu quickly cut through the chaos and built his own silk industry. From raw materials to production, there is already a complete chain.

It's like throwing a wolf into a flock and the whole flock is alarmed. Not to mention that the wolf also ate a very large sheep.

Qin Mu contracted the striking surface, and all the firepower was given to the Ye family. He values the tenants of the Ye family.

These tenants farm and raise silkworms on weekdays. Qin Mu didn't need those grains, but he needed those silkworm cocoons.

Not only would the silkworm farmers not sell these cocoons to themselves, but the Ye family's silk reeling and textile processes were too backward to meet their needs.

For the sake of the cannon, for the happiness of the people in the world, Qin Mu had no choice but to eat the Ye family.

Although Qin Mu broke the game by violent means, his violence was a precise strike. None of the other families in Suzhou were affected – and of course the fright was inevitable.

Ye Huande's family lost their stock of silkworm cocoons and silk, which they were preparing to do for export trade.

And at the same time, they wear the big hat of colluding with traitors. However, Qin Mu did not kill them all, and their other properties were retained, even the land and the contract documents of the tenant farmers were all retained.

Qin Mu didn't want to mess up too much. First, if he completely eats the Ye family, it will definitely involve the rest of the family and the government - Zong Ze will not do it, and secondly, he feels that so far, the goal has been achieved.

It is now the end of March, and it will be summer soon, and after the summer, the Jin army will come to fight Bianliang for the second time, and when the world changes dramatically, it is difficult to say whether the Ye family still exists.

Now, let them go to Beijing to file a complaint.

Qin Mu felt that it was best for them all to stay in Bianliang, and then they were served by Jin Guo. That would solve all the troubles.

Zong Ze's positioning of Qin Mu is a cool official - he is still Ren Guifei's dog, who goes out to make money.

But Qin Mu did things in a measured manner, grabbed some of the Ye family's things, and didn't touch the Ye family's people much. Of course, if the guards make a move, it is impossible for the Ye family to be immortal. But very few people died, and most of them were directly frightened.

At the same time, Qin Mu also gave some silk to Zong Ze, so that he could gather the tribute and complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court. This also made it impossible for Zong Ze to deal with Qin Mu.

In fact, even if he wanted to, he didn't have the ability to do it. Can a group of servants beat the Guards?

Not to mention that he doesn't have this ability, even Han Shizhong doesn't have this ability.

Now Han Shizhong's soldiers are scattered on the land south of the Yangtze River, working hard to build roads every day, and there are few people in Suzhou City.

Even if there were, Han Shizhong would never interfere. The struggle between Qin Mu and local leaders involved too widely.

Han Shizhong thought that Qin Mu was instructed by Concubine Ren, and there was also Ye Mengde behind the Ye family, and it was difficult to say who would win and lose in the end, and he would not stand in line at this time.

Even if he stood in line, he would not clash with Qin Mu head-on. Han Shizhong understood that the Forbidden Army was by no means an opponent of the Guards.

In this way, Suzhou City is like a typhoon, fierce when it comes, and fast when it goes.

Except for the Ye family leaving the capital, and at the same time a new weaving institute was built in Suzhou City, everything else is the same as before.

This is exactly what Qin Mu wants to see.

By setting up a brand new textile mill, technology alone can beat the existing silk textile industry – the woodware industry is an example.

Qin Mu estimated that it would be three or four months before the Jin State sent troops again, and he had to seize this time to engage in as much construction as possible. Once the Jin soldiers besieged the city for the second time, it was the beginning of a full-scale attack by the Guards.

At that time, he didn't have much time to devote to construction.

While there was still some time, Qin Mu left Suzhou and came to Dongting Mountain.

The Jiangnan Shipyard in Dongting Mountain has completed all the infrastructure, with a brand new wharf, tall gantry cranes, workshops, dormitories, living quarters, and orderly order.

Shen Junyi really deserves to be a genius, and his learning experience in Weishan Lake has made him grow up quickly.

Now Shen Junyi is not only an excellent shipbuilder, but also a qualified business leader. The entire Jiangnan shipyard was managed by him in an orderly manner.

Today, Jiangnan Shipyard has manufactured the first tugboat - Yangtze River No. 1 tugboat.

The expansion of the cabinet space has a profound impact on this plane. Qin Mu directly brought back high-power marine steam turbines from later generations, and the hull and various components were produced in Weishan Lake and finally assembled in Jiangnan Shipyard.

The advent of the Yangtze River No. 1 tugboat has completely changed the appearance of the canal's water transportation. The tugboat transport brigade in a string is like a water train, pulling massive quantities of supplies from one place to another.

According to Zhe Meiluan's statistics, since the launch of the Yangtze River No. 1, the cargo volume of Weishan Lake Terminal has increased fivefold.

Technology changes life!

But this is just the beginning, the tugboat is for Shen Junyi to practice.

Qin Mu came to Dongting Mountain this time to start the first step to truly unify the world - to build a free wheel.

The Liberty Wheel is a type of freighter that was mass-produced in the United States during World War II. The U.S. fleet purchased a large number of Liberty ships to replace merchant ships sunk by German submarines, and many of them were offered to Britain through Lend-Lease.

The Liberty Wheel was built quickly and cheaply, making it a symbol of American industry in World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, a total of 2,751 Liberty ships were built in 18 U.S. dockyards.

This is exactly the boat that Qin Mu needs. This time and space is not World War II, and Qin Mu doesn't need steel battleships - because there is no opponent.

What he needed was a cargo ship that could transport a large number of people and supplies.

The process of unifying the world in Qin Mu's plan is two routes. One is the road, based on the Hetao, taking the Hexi Corridor, entering Central Asia, and hitting all the way to the Persian Gulf.

And the other one is the sea.

The sea route will stretch through Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Malaysia, to the Indian Ocean, and eventually join forces in the Persian Gulf.

Relying on the wooden ships of this time and space cannot realize Qin Mu's great ideals, so it is necessary to build large-tonnage sea ships - iron.

The free wheel of the US imperialism can be loaded at one time: (according to the distribution statistics) 250 trucks (or 400 jeeps, or 200 light tanks, or 100 heavy tanks), about 2500-3000 tons.

1,000 tons of ammunition, 500 tons of light weapons (including light and heavy aircraft, 5,000 long and short guns, 500 mortars, 1,000 bazookas, 50 light guns, etc.), and 500-1,000 tons of supplies. It's almost the basic equipment of a motorized brigade, or a light armored brigade.

The individual loading capacity is: 2840 jeeps, 440 tanks, 2. 300 million rounds of rifle ammunition.

Such a terrifying loading capacity definitely meets Qin Mu's needs and wealth. It's a pity that the technology mastered by Qin Mu now can't make the free wheel of the US imperialists during World War II.

He can only shrink in size, tenfold.

Qin Mu's needs are the loading capacity of a battalion, personnel, materials and equipment, as long as one battalion is loaded, it is enough.

With the chrono firepower of the Guards, as long as one battalion is thrown in any direction, it will be invincible.

If it is not enough, then another battalion will be thrown, that is, another boat.

When the ship is small, it is easy to build. However, this small size is relative to the scale of World War II, and for this time and space, this free wheel designed by Qin Mu is definitely a behemoth.

This is also the reason why Qin Mu wants to arrange the shipyard in Dongting Mountain. The water here is huge, you can try sailing, and from Taihu Lake into the Yangtze River into the sea, the distance is not far.

At the same time, it is also the pressure to disperse Weishan Lake, where the factories are too dense.

"Shen Gong," looking at the busy scene on the dock, Qin Mu said to Shen Junyi: "How long do you estimate it will take to produce this free wheel?" ”

"Commander," Shen Junyi had long been prepared for this question: "Based on the experience of producing the Yangtze River No. 1 during this time, I think it is feasible to produce one in sixty to eighty days. ”

"Shen Gong, have you ever seen the sea?"

"Nope." Not to mention, Shen Junyi really hasn't seen the sea. From Taihu Lake to the sea, it is also a long distance. In this plane, unless they run ships or harbors, not many inland people have ever seen the sea.

"The sea is huge. Compared to the sea, this Taihu Lake is like a drop of water in a pond. ”

"This ......"

"We need a lot of boats, and fast. Sixty days a piece, in the first two experimental ships can be, but the later large-scale construction, this production cycle should be controlled within 30 days. ”

"Commander, this is too difficult, I'm afraid I can't do it."

"It may not be possible to rely on the existing facilities, but we will continue to expand the shipyard and introduce new technologies. The current shipyard is only built with the main body, and subsequent outfitting can be carried out in the newly built shipyard. In short, be fast. ”

"I made a note of it." Shen Junyi took out his notebook and wrote down all Qin Mu's instructions in the notebook.

"Go, come with me to see the true god of war."

Qin Mu took Shen Junyi to a secret test site in the back mountain. This is an absolute military forbidden area, not to mention that idlers are not allowed to enter, even dogs must be killed if they come in.

Because here is the testing ground for 155 naval guns.

The 155 cannon can be said to be the most powerful land artillery in later generations, and it is also the most mainstream. Of course, there are more powerful ones, but the army is less equipped.

The 155 is currently the main battle artillery of armies around the world. However, in this time and space, Qin Mu will not give 155 to the army.

It can't be used for the army, this cannon is too big and heavy. In later generations, this cannon was either towed by a car, or directly changed to a self-propelled gun - it was a car itself.

This plane doesn't have this equipment, let alone this road. Qin Mu wanted to put this cannon on the warship from the beginning.

The Liberty Wheel will have a true god of war. It is the ship-based version of the 155 gun.

In view of the specific situation of this time and space, Qin Mu naturally did not need to shoot dozens of kilometers with one shot. Not only is it useless to yourself, but it is also useless to your enemies. They died without seeing anything, and they didn't think it was the gods from the sky who came down. This did nothing good in promoting the invincibility of the Guards.

So the range of this 155 was significantly reduced, and the effective range of three kilometers was enough - this distance was enough for people on the shore to see the Liberty wheel.

At a distance of three kilometers, or even two to a kilometer, several free wheels are lined up and bombarded on the shore, and there will be no living creature left on the beachhead - not even one that can breathe.

The 155 gun has a killing radius of at least 60 meters. This 60-meter concept is an absolute kill. With one shot, there could be no living person within 60 meters.

Even farther away is either death or injury.

Qin Mu retained the power of the cannonball, but greatly castrated the charge of the medicine bag - not so long-range, the natural charge can be much less.

At the same time, the double diameter of the gun body has also been greatly shortened.

The 155 gun of the pure later generations is also a high-end military product in the later generations, and not many countries can manufacture it. It is impossible for this plane to be fully replicated.

However, after drastically shortening the body tube and reducing the charge, the technical content fell off all of a sudden. If nothing else, the brakes are much easier to manufacture - because of the small charge, the recoil is greatly reduced.

The cannon in front of Qin Mu is the third test subject, and during the previous two experiments, he was talking to Huang Daopo in Suzhou, and he didn't have time to come over - not to mention, Huang Daopo took a bath and shaved her head, she was indeed an alternative little beauty.

Qin Mu didn't know how to see the cannon and remembered his bald head, he quickly shook his head and drove out all the thoughts that he shouldn't have.

The cannon in front of me, in terms of shape, looks very much like a Japanese mountain cannon. The overall design of this cannon was not made by Director Jiang's technical team. This is Qin Mu went to Russia and hired a Russian weapons designer at a high price to design it.

When it comes to weapon manufacturing, Qin Muquan did it in Russia.

The 155 naval gun adheres to the characteristics of Russian weapons: relatively rough, easy to produce, the pursuit of firepower at the expense of partial accuracy, pragmatism, and maximum performance in the simplest way.

It's all the embodiment of the aesthetics of violence.

"Fire!" With Qin Mu's order, 155 erupted into an earth-shattering roar.

In Shen Junyi's view, it seems that the whole world has been shattered by this cannon.

The world has finally entered a new era - the era of giant ships and cannons.
