Volume 2 Jin County Chapter 26 The Foreigner's Affair (2)

Zhang Yingquan carefully observed Hag's shooting and reloading actions, and generally understood the structural characteristics and design ideas of these two weapons, just like a college student in later generations, as long as he glanced at the elementary school question, he could know the answer.

The shortcomings of the breech gun are the problem of air leakage, which is not a design negligence, but more of a material problem, just imagine the industrial base and mathematical design of the West, it is impossible to solve the problem of simple matching accuracy, the design ideas and direction are correct, and many limitations are also helpless.

Zhang Yingquan also encountered this problem when designing the sniper rifle of the division, sleeve structure, compact design and heat deformation, easy to jam, loose design, air leakage is inevitable, the material is extremely critical, the material with high hardness and low deformation is not selected, at present, only tungsten steel performance is suitable, so it is not how good the gun design of Shanzhen is, but the unique material of Shanzhen, forming a technical advantage, but this advantage can not be maintained for long, because the ghost guy does not know the problem, this kind of material is not not found, but the problem of mining and industrial production.

The Migne rifle is a rifled gun, which has the advantage of long range and high accuracy, but the disadvantage is just as obvious, and like other breech guns, the rate of fire is slow, which is the fatal weakness.

At present, the reason why the sniper rifle can have the advantages of both, mainly there is the improvement of the warhead and the improvement of gunpowder, the slow-burning gunpowder newly developed by John, when fired, the warhead forms a uniform acceleration in the barrel, effectively accumulates kinetic energy, and obtains the best muzzle velocity, plus the improvement of the bullet, makes up for the lack of firing range and accuracy, on the surface, the technical performance is close to the Minne rifle, in fact, Zhang Yingquan knows that the potential of the smoothbore gun has been basically tapped, and the next step must be the road of the rifled gun.

The inland waterway transportation along the eastern coast has a common characteristic, the west is high and the east is low, drifting along the water, and it is troublesome to go from east to west, all relying on manpower, extremely slow, and often having to take advantage of the power of the rising tide of the sea to carry the boat.

The boat traveled like a turtle, and it took five or six days to reach its destination.

There was a new atmosphere in the camp, and everything looked neat, clean, and translucent.

The backyard of the general army is the barracks, the two-story small building that is still at the end when leaving, one by one begins to be used, the trees are shady, the infantry training ground is also built according to the requirements, obstacles, cross-country, climbing, etc., the training facilities are complete, this is the camp prepared for the volunteer regiment, there are not many people in peacetime, only more than 100 volunteer members who accompany the general soldier to escort. The general soldier lived in the small courtyard inside, and there were two barracks built at the same time, the left battalion and the right battalion, the style was similar, outside the city.

Wu Neng actually welcomed at the door, and when he saw Garcia followed by a dozen foreigners, he asked strangely:

"Garcia! Capture the captives, how did you catch the fake foreign devils together? ”

"Hahaha" laughed together.

Garcia ran over and kicked Wu Nengjing, they often joked, Garcia was the most active person in the whole camp, and they all called it a cute bun.

The wide dining room, regardless of officers and soldiers, takes their own bowls, queues up to cook, has logistics service personnel to operate the spoon, and the rice and soup are convenient, and the management is enough! Three meals a day, there must be a meal of meat in the middle and evening, porridge, steamed buns, pickles in the morning, plus an egg. The meat and poultry food are all from the mountain town feedlots, and they are fresh and cheap. The food was excellent! There is no one in the Qing Dynasty military camp, and the food of the royal family cannot be compared, and the chief soldier said: "The food determines the heart of the army!" "Look, how philosophical!

Hague and his entourage of nine people ate in the cafeteria, fake foreign devils ate outside, the small restaurant generally only has a few high-level personnel such as the chief soldier, the Zhang family, Wu Nengjing, etc., as well as VIPs, the food is better, of course, Garcia is also one of the frequent guests, the godsister of the general soldier, and the identity is enough.

Since the prospecting team left Shanghai, they have not eaten a few decent meals, this meal is the most down-to-earth meal in a few days, I really can't imagine that there is such a place in the Qing Dynasty, clean, tidy, friendly, open, and excellent treatment, which is also a high standard in Western society, which makes these ghosts more and more confused about the Qing people's cognition, Garcia was asked twice: "Are you sure this is the jurisdiction of the Qing court?" ”

After dinner, let Garcia lead the prospecting team, go to the Bit Church to rest, and say goodbye, sorry, this is a military camp, no outsiders, especially foreigners.

Zhang Yingquan asked people to find John, now the fast lane to the mountain town has been repaired, it is smoother than the official road, and it is only an hour or two for the fast horse to enter the mountain town, go fast, come back quickly, the two of them began to study the telegraph as soon as they met, full of interest, spend money to buy a big toy, the picture is fresh, John is also like a big child, now the two of them have to play.

Ten days in a hurry, Bit came to find it in a hurry.

"Lord Commander, something happened in the mountains!"

"What's the matter?"

"Hague and his entourage of twelve people are all tied up! Only you can save them. ”

“……?”

Ten days ago, Bit took them into the mountains, originally wanted John to help them, because he was in addition to the mountain town, other places were also black-eyed, but unexpectedly, John went to the county seat, the two of them went to the fork, did not see each other, can only apologize, help this is the end.

The mountain town made a good impression on the tourist, and it was concluded that the people in the mountains were more civilized than the people outside the mountains. In fact, the people of Shanzhen often meet with John and Garcia, thinking that foreigners in the world are like John and Garcia, so they are not abrupt to meet, and they are not looking at them like monsters, but polite and ushering in the send-off. Therefore, the 12 members of the prospecting team were completely relieved, purchased some items in the mountain town, and went into the mountain regardless of it.

Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi mountainous area, stretching for hundreds of miles, countless natural treasures, they walked, while drawing, while collecting samples, five or six days down to carry the back, three Chinese and themselves, all of them were burdened, had to find a place to store it, another day to pick it up.

The wind and sun are beautiful in the mountains, I don't see mountain bandits, barbarians and the like, occasionally there are wild beasts, it doesn't matter, individual beasts fell under the guns of Haug, it became the next picnic, camping in the Qing Dynasty and hunting in Bavaria, the difference is about the same, Garcia scares people!

There was a mountain village ahead, as if there were 100 families, and there was a mountain road by the dry stream that led to the mountain village, and the group marched to this village.

A wolf, an adult wolf, stood on a rocky slope, so close that it could not be walked a hundred steps.

"Whew!" Yelling at them, outsiders encroaching on its territory, this is a demonstration.

The wolves in the mountains are different from the wolves on the grassland, they generally act independently, at most there will be no more than two, each has its own territory, does not cross each other, it basically does not attack people, at most it does some stealing chickens and dogs, the hunters are almost familiar with the wolf owners on the ground, only fight the wild wolves that wander over, and everyone is safe.

This wolf is different, has lived on the barren rocky slope at the entrance of the village for a long time, the mountain people who enter and exit the village can see it almost every day, sometimes even close at hand, silent, familiar with each other, long-term coexistence, there have been three generations can be confirmed, the wolf does not know how to reproduce for several generations, became the messenger of the village, it has repeatedly driven away the alien wild wolves, wild boars and dangerous animals, people say that this is the guardian sent by God, the village worships the gods when they worship the barren stone slope, this is not a wolf, it is the spiritual animal in the hearts of the villagers!

Hagana knew this, and since entering the mountain, a wolf has fallen under his spear, and this will be the second.

"Bang!" The sound of the gun startled the bird and the wolf fell to the ground with a whin.

Before the black smoke of Hag's Dreisai had cleared, three or five villagers sprang out of the mountain pass in the distance, and they rushed angrily towards the prospecting .......

The villagers gathered more and more, at first Haug wanted to scare people with guns, but then he gave up completely, there were too many villagers, and they were too excited to fight, I don't know what they said? It won't be for a wolf, right? There is no way, I can only let them rob the things and tie themselves up, thinking that it would be good if they were sent to the official, and they could make it clear left and right, but they didn't think about it, and they walked for a long time and sent them to a cottage, and the interpreter said that it was a bandit village, what kind of plot is this? Twelve people, exclaiming at the same time, are dead!

The junction of three provinces in this place, the depths of the mountains do not matter, no officials, no laws, the strong man used to be the king, since the roar of the six positions in charge of the cottage, changed the rules, his cottage is the Yamen Mansion in the mountain, he covers the things in the mountain, and there is a conflict outside the mountain, he carries!

In the eyes of the mountain people, the mountain bandits have really changed, they opened kiln factories, set up wineries, pioneered mountains, tied up rich people outside the mountains, and collected donations from mountain guests, saying that they were ordered by the imperial court? Anyway, I don't do anything that harms the mountain people, and gradually gain trust, and someone covers it, that is, the blue sky. These twelve bold foreigners, as well as fake foreign devils, beat to death the spiritual animals in our village, what should they be guilty of? Please yell at the Sixth Master to decide!

What is the sin of committing a crime? 'Peeling, cramping, lighting the sky lantern!' ’

Yelling six is difficult, this sentence is a capital crime, you must notify your family, right? I don't know if it's going to happen, and it's a bit impossible to do the knife behind my back. First trial, hiss! They actually came to Jin County with the ship of the General Soldier, and they also ate the food of the General Soldier? It's Bit's leading into the mountain again, so do it! Inform their family, that is, Bit, inform them of the reason, and say that they are going to be killed. First of all, these men and women, real and fake foreign devils, look at them and then talk about them, wait for death left and right, and don't abuse them.

Tossed back and forth, a few days have passed since Bit received the notice, and he hurriedly looked for the chief soldier, the official government really can't manage this matter, can the sixth master listen to the official's words? Counterproductive!

The matter is serious, and Zhang Yingquan will definitely be dragged into trouble, and it will even lead to international incidents, after all, people are not gangsters, and they have not broken the law, let alone a capital crime, this matter involves ignorant mountain people, and it is difficult to do!

Starting with the mountain people, Zhang Yingquan believes: everything can be solved with money, it is not a matter.

In recent years, it has been extremely difficult, and many households are ready to move out, all because after the earthquake two years ago, the mountain stream dried up, and dozens of acres of paddy fields on the edge of the village became dry fields.

"You don't want the stream to return to its previous flow?" Zhang Yingquan asked the patriarch of Jiang Village.

"Why don't you want to? Five years ago, it was also broken due to walking in the mountains, and it resumed after a few months, and this time it has been more than a year, and there is no hope! ”

"I have a way!"

"That's great! There is no money in the village, and the whole village will kowtow to you! "The old man is going to kneel.

"Don't, don't! Whether it will work out or not is uncertain, I have to find someone. ”

"Looking for someone? Over there? Far away? ”

"Foreigners, a few foreigners who entered the mountains a few days ago."
