Chapter 735: The Cause of the Sneak Attack

There are fortifications on the beach around Kagoshima Prefecture, but Feng Quan apparently ignores the dock of the Huaxia Army Navy Division and the Xinlu Prefecture Garrison Navy Division, as well as the commercial dock that was previously captured, which is also the largest commercial pier in Kagoshima Prefecture that is connected to the outside world.

There are nearly 100 merchant ships traded between the Huaxia Kingdom and Xinlu Mansion every day, as well as the Huaxia Army caravans that continue to transport follow-up grain and grass supplies, and some overseas military supplies of the Huaxia Kingdom do not have to worry about the Huaxia Army itself, in order to reduce the burden of the army, some grain and grass supplies and some supplies of living materials have been outsourced to the maritime merchants of the Huaxia Kingdom.

This is also Zhang Qiang in order to support the maritime merchants of the Chinese Kingdom to make the Ministry of Industry and Commerce make the policy naturalization, the benefit of the Chinese Kingdom maritime merchants are of course eager to with, some of the contracted transportation tasks of less than 50,000 small businessmen and maritime small businessmen to cooperate, two, three, or multi-party cooperation, you contract the contract, we are responsible for land transportation, or loading, or use the ship to help you transport out, arrive at the destination, and finally get back the bills, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Defense of China docking the relevant yamen reimbursement, to obtain payment, In the end, everyone will divide the benefits equally according to the contributions they have made.

These are some small businessmen, some medium-sized businessmen can hire ships to do it alone, businessmen who own ships can do it alone, and some million-dollar businessmen can transport, load and unload, ship, and collect money all in one stop, and do it themselves.

The buying and selling interests of the government are not very large, but they are better in large quantities and make steady profits.

This is Zhang Qiang's compromise policy in order to cultivate the business of his kingdom, which has promoted the commercial development of the Huaxia Kingdom very well, and learned from the fixed tax rate of small businessmen in later generations, the low tax rate of medium-sized businessmen, the high tax rate of large businessmen, the extremely high tax rate of super-large businessmen and the floating tax rate, which is not only conducive to the development of small businessmen, but also conducive to the tax revenue of the Huaxia Kingdom, the financial of the Huaxia Kingdom has always had a surplus, and has been growing, high, and then using these growth to develop people's livelihood and life.

The final destination of these merchants must reach Xinlu Mansion, because Xinlu Mansion needs the support of the Huaxia Kingdom to grow stronger, and to resist the joint attack of Japan and the Second Prince and the Great Qing Kingdom.

There is even the eldest prince who stabbed the knife in the back, and he also joined the Great Qing Kingdom, the main force against the Huaxia Kingdom, the reason, is nothing more than that the Taixi people threaded the needle in it, and used the curiosity and fear of the people in the land of the Great Qing Dynasty for the Taixi people, as well as their admiration and approval for their strength.

The businessmen mainly transported food and materials to Feng Quan's Xinlu Mansion, and the other was to transport population, weapons, and materials to the island where the third prince was located.

This is something that Feng Quan can't decide, and it's also something that Zhang Qiang can't think of, because Zhang Qiang's main energy and eyes are actually on the construction of the Huaxia Kingdom, not on these intrigues, let's look at the cowardice and incompetence of our country in later generations, we will know, the main thing is to build in the country, not in the surrounding brawls, no matter how the surrounding areas lose interests, how to lose the hearts of the people, the country has always been centered on economic construction, development and rise as the core, and I will not fight back when I am beaten by others.

Zhang Qiang is of course not that kind of person, at least forty percent of his energy is focused on how to deal with the invasion and erosion of the enemy, constantly provoking and weakening the opponent, but in the opponent is shrewd and capable, there is a traitor who plays an important role in it, and the chess pieces in his hand are relatively weak, so Zhang Qiang sometimes can't operate handily, forming a crushing advantage.

The third prince with the Huaxia army's support for him increased, and he also fought back very hard, and Xinlu Mansion is now stable and developing, and at the same time defending against enemy attacks, because relying on their population, they can't come out of a strong army, facing Japan with a population of tens of millions and the enemy of the second prince who is making trouble, even if they can win the battle, they can't occupy the territory.

When Zhang Qiang arrived later with the fleet, Feng Quan's team was already in full swing with the troops of the second prince who had landed.

The artillery on the shore roared, and the guns rang out in the dark night.

On the sea, the warships that kept returning from the patrol line were fighting with the warships pursued by the enemy, and the guns were rumbling and entangled, and in the distance, the enemy's warships were constantly joining, as if the enemy's warships were constantly flowing.

Zhang Qiang let the rest of the personal guard regiment go ashore, and he himself went ashore, and handed over the fleet to Zhao Hui to help the garrison sailors of Xinlu Mansion.

The people and soldiers who fled along the road were everywhere, with Zhang Qiang's 1,000 soldiers of the personal guard regiment on guard, ready to fight, all the way, all the way to collect the defeated soldiers, when they arrived at the city, the city had been broken by the troops of the second prince, after all, the advantage of the raid and the soldiers of the second prince were also the former elite of the Lu army, compared to the more than 10,000 militia that Feng Quan put in the city, the combat effectiveness was much more.

On the dock, Feng Quan was leading the army to fight fiercely with the landing troops, the flames were soaring, the enemy in the city was fighting fiercely with the soldiers defending the city, at this time it had entered the final stage, the enemy was compressed to the north and south corners of the city, and was doing a battle of trapped beasts.

"Storm the walls and help the friendly forces." Zhang Qiang waved his hand.

After coming to the battlefield again in person for many years, Zhang Qiang has a feeling of resurrection, and he is born with a gene of killing and fighting in his bones.

Half of the guards rushed up from the steps of the city gate on this side, raised their guns, fired, and did not need to stop to load the bullets at all, because the bullets had already been loaded, and there were five bullets in the guns, all of which were iron-shelled bullets, and the flexible mechanism could deduct the gunpowder port of the skylight behind the bullets, and when the hand pulled the hammer above, the hammer would hit the raised flint next to the bullet, and in the small space, the sparks flew and were covered by the gunpowder cover. The spark fell into the gunpowder in the primer window behind the bullet, and directly ignited the primer, which ignited the propelled powder in front of it, and directly pushed out the lead bullet mixed with iron embedded in the bullet case.

The design is very ingenious, except for the loading bullet under the hammer, the complex primer, the flint box is a little larger, the lower one relies on the spring to push the next bullet up, the side relies on the gunpowder gas to push the rotation to throw the bullet case after the shot is thrown out of this small box of the pullback hook, and the top of the pullback hook has a powder cover with an open skylight above the jack in advance.

After firing a shot, the soldier quickly flicked the hammer, then the hammer stepped back, removing the scraps of paper from the bullet that had been left behind.

Then he lowered his hand again and pulled the trigger, at which point another bullet had already entered the small box of the chamber under the pressure of the spring.

It's complicated to say, in fact, what the soldier has to do is very simple, it is more complicated than the brown bass gun of later generations, but it is also simpler and faster than the arquebus, and it can be loaded with five bullets, the chance of error or jamming will be made up by the extra bullets, there is a depression in the side of the gun body, where there is a clear chamber that can be pulled out, and at the same time can clean up the jammed bullets and scraps of paper, and outline the peculiar shape of the bullet that does not fire.

This is all the tricks that Zhang Qiang can think of to improve the function of the flintlock pistol at present, because the system guy doesn't give him too many benefits, sometimes he comes and goes, sometimes he doesn't see it, and he doesn't call it.

He had to be self-reliant.

The fierce blows of the storm caused the enemy to fall to the ground one after another, and their morale plummeted, and they came out of the shadows and surrendered.

Zhang Qiang met with the battalion commander of the personal guard regiment of a small battalion led here, and the small battalion is the kind of battalion level that only has more than 400 people, 200 households, plus the battalion commander and others are only 500 people.
