Chapter 64 Rocket Artillery Test Firing, Meeting with Fan Wencheng

Zhang Zhimu and the others arrived at the shooting range and saw that Li Wei and a few people were also here.

Chen Yufeng couldn't help but scold: "Hehe! Li Wei, this little rabbit cub, can't pull anything down! ”

"It would be strange if Li Wei wasn't interested in these things." Zhang Zhimu said, "In the future, his heavy artillery will be assigned to various military regions, and Li Wei will be able to free up more energy to study new things." ”

After coming to Li Wei and the others around a few cannon barrels set up on the shelves, and after greeting Li Wei and them, Zhang Zhimu asked Li Yunhe: "I said, Yunhe!" Didn't you say that it would take a year to get a rocket launcher? How did you get it out so quickly? ”

"No, I'm just going to do an experiment for you today!" Li Yunhe said, "It was their rocket propellant that succeeded first, and we made a few rockets with steel shells for testing, but I didn't expect it to be really successful!" Today is for you to see our rocket launches! ”

"You can't launch far with a steel hull that's as heavy?" Zhang Zhimu said.

"It's not far away, the alloy aluminum shell is not good now, and the rocket will melt as soon as it burns. Watch our rocket launch today, regardless of the distance or near. Li Yunhe explained.

"In fact, the whole flight time of the rocket is very short, and there is a problem with the heat-resistant temperature of the alloy aluminum, so you can line it with a layer of asbestos or make a steel lining to try it. The tail spout can be tungsten or ceramic. Zhang Zhimu gave Li Yunhe a suggestion.

"Good!" "We are trying to find a way to solve these problems. I'll tell them about your suggestions. ”

Chen Yufeng watched it for a while, and said to Li Yunhe: "This thing looks very scary, I think it's better to give it a try!" See what the hell is going on? ”

"That's good! We're a little bit farther away now. Let's take a look at this cannon battle! Li Yunhe said, leading everyone to the place where the chairs were set up next to him and sat down.

After a while, Li Wei also instructed the soldiers who were fiddling with rocket artillery and left. Eventually, the soldiers also left the launch pad with the wires.

After a while, there was a "boom" under the launch frame and a burst of smoke, a *** took off into the air, dragging a long tail of smoke, and flew to the distant hillside, and a while the second *** also flew into the air. Both *** fell on the hillside in the distance and exploded, emitting white smoke from the point of impact.

Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng and others, looking at the two *** successfully falling on the opposite hillside with binoculars, couldn't help but stand up.

Li Yunhe said: "There is an advantage of rocket artillery, the barrel does not need to be very strong, because there is not so much bore pressure, and there is no buffer mechanism, because rocket artillery does not have much recoil power." In the future, in addition to the higher cost of shells, the production of guns will be much cheaper. ”

"Speed up your research! I see you've got a ten-wheeled truck, and your launcher can be mounted on the truck. If not, it can be installed on a tracked vehicle. Chen Yufeng said to Li Yunhe. It seems that Chen Yufeng has already thought of the prospect of using this thing on the battlefield.

Zhang Zhimu said: "After you have developed the aluminum ***, first build a group of twelve-barreled rocket artillery." This can be loaded on a ten-wheeled truck, and if it doesn't work, a trailer can be specially built, like a heavy artillery, pulled by a tracked tractor. ”

Li Wei came over and said, "I think this thing still has too low hit accuracy." ”

"Didn't I say it, this thing is mainly against surface targets, let's say we have 12 rocket launchers in one vehicle, if we have ten vehicles, a salvo, we can fire a hundred ***. It would be terrible to cover an area with such artillery fire against a large cavalry assault or an enemy camp. In a short period of time, the dense artillery fire will deplete all the oxygen in the air in the coverage area, and the enemy in the coverage area will suffocate if not be killed. In the future, we can also develop 24-barreled and 48-barreled rocket artillery, and even rocket artillery of a larger caliber. Zhang Zhimu explained.

"Haha!" Li Wei laughed and said, "That's silver!" ”

"When we increase our production capacity, these things will be fine." Zhang Zhimu said, "With silver, we can have fewer dead people, which is still appropriate." ”

Ouyang He put down the binoculars in his hand and said, "Now our opponent can pose a little threat to us is a large-scale cavalry impact. To deal with them, we have heavy artillery mortars at a distance, and heavy machine guns at a distance. On the grassland, our artillery carriage is the nemesis of the cavalry, and if we have this rocket artillery, it will be even more powerful. ”

"We will immediately face opponents from the east, west, and north, which are characterized by a large geographical area, and their strength is cavalry." Chen Yufeng interjected, "You can launch the rocket now, which means that you have solved the big problem." Let's get the product out as soon as possible, and strive to use it when solving the north. ”

"Good! I'll push them a little more. Li Yunhe said, "There is also good news to tell you, our star engine is now undergoing fatigue testing, and when it can be used, it can be pressed to the aircraft for testing." ”

"If you can test on the ground, you must interview on the ground," Zhang Zhimu said, "and you must not test the flight with any hidden dangers." ”

"Yes, we know it's dangerous to go up to heaven." Li Yunhe said.

"Li Wei, how are the new pilots of your power delta wing?" Chen Yufeng asked.

"I've done my basic training, and now I'm going to try to fly. Most pilots are able to take off and land on their own. Li Wei said, "The veteran pilots can all drop bombs in the air, some have been specially trained to take pictures in the air, and some have been specially trained in artillery shooting." I think there should be no problem going to war next year. ”

"Haha! Mr. Chen, we have a new topic. Ouyang He said, "We have to study how to cooperate with ground combat tactics in the air." And future rocket artillery. ”

"Actually, our current weapons are no longer comparable to any opponent, and there are some things that we are preparing for the future. Sooner or later, our opponents will improve. However, we need to have a technical advantage that is absolutely superior to any opponent to be invincible. Zhang Zhimu can be regarded as admonishing everyone present.

When Li Zicheng was leaving, he had a conversation with Zhang Zhimu, and Zhang Zhimu assured Li Zicheng that in the future, they would be provided with a set of military uniforms, a pair of rubber shoes, and two pairs of knitted socks every year according to the number of people.

Li Zicheng said: "This is great. Especially the galoshes, which was simply too practical for the soldiers. Many of our generals replaced their combat boots with rubber shoes to wear. Not to mention socks. It was the soldiers who could have a new pair of socks on the march, and that was a terrible thing, and they were reluctant to wear knitted socks one by one. ”

"Yes! Socks can be a consumable. I'll tell Mr. Lu to deliver more socks to you. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Mr. Zhang, there is something I have always wanted to say, I don't know if I should tell you or not." Li Zicheng said.

"Huh! Isn't it about the Eight Kings? ”

"Yo! Mr. Zhang is really a god! Li Zicheng said, "Then I'll say it directly." I think that Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, is different from me, we have slaughtered the city, but that is a tactic, and it is a method that cannot be adopted if you want to deter. But Zhang Xianzhong is different from us, he likes to kill, and this person has a very poor character. I'm worried that Mr. Zhang is kind-hearted and will suffer his losses if he doesn't get it. ”

"Thank you King Chuang for your trust in me, what you said is true, I will always remember it." Zhang Zhimu smiled again and said, "We have spent a lot of time studying each of you, and in some places, we may know more about you than you know about yourself. We will treat different people differently. Let's just say that the fifty heavy machine guns you took back this time are not the treatment that everyone can enjoy. ”

Zhang Zhimu's words could only be said to this, Li Zicheng understood very well when he heard it, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I really didn't expect that you would bring you fifty heavy machine guns. I know all too well what it means for my team to have this stuff. I knew I shouldn't say anything thankful, so I won't say it. ”

"There's one more thing you want to say thanks, and I'm going to tell you before you go!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Do you remember Li Laiheng? ”

"Oh! Did you say that you were the son of your son? Li Ziguo was really surprised.

"Exactly, he has been in the kiln. Are you going to take it with you this time? Zhang Zhimu said.

"Well, that's him. Li Laiheng is the meat of Guo'er's heart! It's great if I could bring him back! Li Zicheng knew that the people of Yaogang really trusted him now that they handed over Li Laiheng to him. In the past, the two families were related to that part, and the kiln gang people didn't show a word, which was simply terrible.

Li Zicheng met Li Laiheng in Yaogang, which can be regarded as a good story. Li Laiheng, who had been detained in Yaogang for a long time, didn't expect to meet Li Zicheng here. Li Laiheng, who lived with Li Zicheng in the Yaogang Hotel, always felt like a dream. The two chatted all night, and Li Laiheng could be considered to have a general understanding of the situation in front of him.

sent away, Li Zicheng, Zheng Zhilong, and Zhang Xianzhong were two groups of people, and the kiln gang looked cleaner.

It seems that Fan Wencheng also understands the rules very well, knowing that the kiln people are busy and have not come to bother, and he sees that the kiln people are clean. Fan Wencheng invited Ouyang He to have tea together at the Yaogang Hotel.

This time, Ouyang He was also in a very good mood and brought Fujian big red robes.

Fan Wencheng couldn't help sighing: "Oops! It's a blessing to be able to drink the world's famous Da Hong Pao today! ”

"Yes! In the past, Wuyi rock tea Da Hong Pao became a tribute tea exclusively for the royal family to enjoy, and every year the imperial court had to send officials to wear big red robes, and untie the robes and hang them on the tree of the tribute tea, so they were called Da Hong Pao. Ouyang said, "I heard from Mr. Zheng Zhilong that I knew the origin of the name of the big red robe!" ”

"Oops! Such an elegant thing, Mr. Ouyang also said to hear it! Fan Wencheng became interested.

"Huh!" Ouyang He smiled and said, "In the eighteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Ding Xian went to Beijing to take the exam, and suddenly fell ill when passing by Wuyi Mountain, and the abdominal pain was unbearable. After winning the examination, he came to thank the monk and asked about the origin of the tea, and after learning about it, he took off his big red robe and circled the tea bush three times, and draped it on the tea tree, so he got the name of 'big red robe'. ”

"Oh! Does this big red robe have such a magical effect? I'd like to try! Fan Wencheng was surprised.

Ouyang He continued: "The champion took the big red robe in a tin can and brought it back to the capital. After the champion returned to the court, the queen was sick, and the hundred doctors were ineffective, so he took out the can of tea and offered, the queen gradually recovered after drinking, the emperor was overjoyed, and gave a red robe, and ordered the champion to go to the Nine Dragons in person to drape on the tea tree to show the dragon's grace, and at the same time send someone to take care of it, and all the tea was collected to pay tribute, and it was not allowed to be hidden. Since then, Wuyi Rock Tea Da Hong Pao has become a tribute tea exclusively for the royal family, and the reputation of Da Hong Pao has also spread to the world. ”

"Huh! If you hadn't taken Fujian, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to drink this royal tribute today! Fan Wencheng said.

"Mr. Fan is telling the truth." Ouyang He said in a big red robe.

After the waiter added water and went out, Fan Wencheng said: "We have been to Yaogang for some days, and we have seen a lot of places, but the more we look, the more I don't want to go!" ”

"Huh! I'd love to hear what you think of our kiln? Ouyang He said.

"Huh! To be honest, I don't know what heaven will be like in the future, but I don't think there would be any need to go to heaven if the world was like Yaogang. If you don't come and see it in person, there is no way to imagine it. There are still places like kilns in the world, and people all over the world see hope! "What Fan Wencheng said was very emotional.

"It seems that Mr. Fan has a high opinion of us!" After speaking, Ouyang He asked directly, "Mr. Fan thinks that the regent Dolgon can accept such a paradise?" ”

"Huh!" Fan Wencheng shook his head with a smile and said, "They can't even imagine what the kiln gang looks like, and they won't care about how the ordinary people are doing?" Needless to say, compared with Yaogang, their way of governing Liaodong was taught to them by us Han people. There is a big gap between the governance of Liaodong and the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Mr. Fan thinks that if we attack Liaodong, how long will it take to solve the problem militarily?" Ouyang He asked unceremoniously.

"It's hard for me to say, but Mr. Ouyang doesn't have to doubt the determination of the Manchu men to fight to the death. They don't take other people's lives seriously, and they do the same to themselves. There is a gap between us Han Chinese and the Manchus in this regard. Fan Wencheng said.

"If the Manchus are killed to solve the Liaodong problem, it will be too bloody!" Ouyang He said.

"This is a little strange to me, General Li Jing killed more than 100,000 criminal soldiers in Jiujiang at once, you didn't hesitate at all, are you soft when you go to Liaodong?" Fan Wencheng asked puzzled.

"Those were the ones who had killed a dozen innocent people, and the prisoners who had raped ten women. We can't keep them. Ouyang He said.

"There are also many Qing soldiers who have committed crimes, are you doing the same to them?" Fan Wencheng asked.

"It's all the same!"

"Then the Qing soldiers can only resist desperately." Fan Wencheng said.

"Is such an ignorant regime really worth the life of someone like Mr. Fan?" Ouyang He asked.

"Have I become a traitor, and do I still want to sell my lord for glory? Hehe! Fan Wencheng laughed out loud after speaking.

"I have a question I want to ask Mr. Fan, why are there so many traitors in Liaodong who work for the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" Ouyang He asked.

"Haha! You all ask this question, but who of you has ever cared about the life and death of the Han people in Liaodong? Fan Wencheng was a little excited, "Most people who are traitors just want to live." If I hadn't been a traitor, I'd have died a long time ago. For the people of Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty did not give them any help except for receiving money and grain from them, and as soon as the Manchus came, the officials and soldiers ran away, leaving them to be slaughtered by the Manchus, and they had no reason to be loyal to them. With a chance to survive, anyone will try to survive. It doesn't make much sense! ”

Ouyang He didn't expect that Fan Wencheng would answer so directly and confidently.

"If there were no traitors to help the Manchus, with the hundreds of thousands of people of the Manchus, how could they have the strength to break through the customs again and again, burn, kill and loot." Ouyang He also said hatefully.

"I know that sooner or later you will attack Liaodong, and if you bring up the matter of letting the Qing surrender, the Qing Dynasty will not accept it even if they are all killed, I understand them. I also knew that a bloody battle was inevitable. Fan Wencheng said, "What I want to say to Mr. Ouyang is that not all the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners are willing to be traitors. Their generals surrendered, didn't they follow suit? I think you should treat them differently. Liaodong is originally vast and sparsely populated, so let's keep more people! ”

"Mr. Fan can rest assured that we will not only treat the Han people differently, but also treat the Manchu people differently. If we have not mutilated the Han Chinese, we will not kill them. In the future, we will pursue a policy of equality among all ethnic groups. Ouyang He said, "Mr. Fan, since you can see things clearly. Why can't you do more for the people of Liaodong? ”

"What I said today is beyond what a messenger should say," Fan Wencheng said, "The mission that the regent has sent me here is to strive for reconciliation with you Yaogang, to win you to sit with us in the world, and not to attack Liaodong." Actually, when I came out, I didn't have much hope for it. But I'd love to come and see what the kiln is like. I, not only me, but even Dodor Tholl Belle, who came with us, saw that we had no money to negotiate with you. This is an impossible task. ”

"I still think that Mr. Fan should do something to shed less blood." Ouyang He said.

"I don't have this life. I am highly regarded by Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and now the Regent. I'm already a traitor, so don't let me be a traitor again. Fan Wencheng can be regarded as saying it very well.

"That's good! Mr. Fan, what do you think you need my help with before you leave? Ouyang He asked.

"If possible, I would like to ask Mr. Ouyang to help us contact us, we would like to meet Zhang Dongjia. That's my request. Fan Wencheng said.

Ouyang He knew that if Fan Wencheng didn't even see Zhang Zhimu this time, he would be very faceless when he went back. In order to win Fan Wencheng, Ouyang He thought for a while and said, "That's it!" I will try to ask Mr. Zhang to meet you once. ”
