Text Volume 3 Road to Empire_Chapter 543 Blossom Bullet
“… What the? One shot* costs 4 yuan. Please Baidu search (product book network) to see the most complete! The fastest update! Hu Guanghan, are you dizzy, the ordnance supervisor asks for 2 stone of rice for a shell, and you dare to agree. There are no less than 1,500 rounds per month and no less than 20,000 rounds a year, and the cost of this year can feed a field regiment. You go back and tell the Ordnance Warden that you have withdrawn this order for me. ”
The roar that suddenly erupted from inside the compartment suddenly made the staff officers working in the map room subconsciously stop their work and glance at Mao Yuanyi's office.
As deputy chief of the General Staff of the Army, Mao Yuanyi has a separate office. However, his office was not like the chief Sun Chengzong, which was a separate room in the side hall of the Wuying Palace, but a small room separated from the map room. Therefore, if Mao Yuanyi spoke louder, he could transmit it to the map room outside.
Several staff officers working in the map room just glanced at Mao Yuanyi's office, and then returned to their work as a matter of course. Because they had already heard it, the angry voice that came out of the office just now was Mao Yuanyi himself.
Hu Guanghan, who was standing opposite Mao Yuanyi's desk, was reprimanded by Mao Yuanyi, but he still mustered up the courage to explain to the official: "But Deputy Chief Mao, I personally went to the shooting range to witness the power of this one, as long as you can correctly grasp the delay fuse, at least half of the chance of blooming and exploding correctly in the enemy's air, even if the enemy army is not lined up in a dense formation, it can instantly disrupt the enemy's formation..."
Mao Yuanyi interrupted him even more annoyed when he heard this, and said, "What? There is only half the success rate. Did you know that the price of one * is already worth 10 solid bullets, and you only have half the success rate. 20 rounds of solid ammunition I am already enough to break up 2 companies on the opposite side, why buy such an unreliable *? ”
Hu Guanghan's voice of defense was even weaker, "The ordnance supervisor said that this is just a handmade offer." If we follow the quantity they offer*, then after half a year they can design a specialized* production line at half the price. If the large hydraulic press being developed by the Ordnance Supervision and the Academy can be manufactured, then the price can be reduced a little more, and finally reach three times the price of a solid bullet..."
Mao Yuanyi crossed his hands in front of his chest, then looked at him and said, "Then you go and tell the Ordnance Supervisor, and when they reduce the price of * to three times that of solid bullets, we will naturally * this one." But they don't want to use the army's military funds to research new weapons, don't they have a budget of their own? ”
Hu Guanghan tried to hold on a little longer, but he just spoke: "But..."Mao Yuanyi finally ordered him impatiently: "Lizheng, Second Lieutenant Hu." "Take your piece and now: turn backwards... March... Halt... Open the door... March... Halt... Close the door. ”
Seeing Hu Guanghan standing in front of Mao Yuanyi's door with his head down, an older staff officer came over and kindly persuaded him: "Don't think about it anymore, now that money is being asked everywhere, Deputy Chief Mao is eager to split a penny in half, how can he agree to increase the allocation for new weapons." I think you'll either go back and negotiate with the Ordnance Supervisor, or simply find the Navy to share some of the costs, they have a much better budget..."
Hu Guanghan's eyes suddenly lit up, and while thanking the senior brother, he turned around and ran out. After a while, he ran to the door of the Navy Staff Headquarters, found Chen Yuwang, a familiar naval staff officer, and told him about the trouble of handling this order.
Chen Yuwang, who was originally a hereditary thousand households in Suzhou, applied for the Army Military Academy with Hu Guanghan before, but he failed to take the exam because of some mistakes, so he simply applied for the Navy Military Academy again, and this time he took the exam. Transferring from the army to the navy is no different for Chen Yuwang, anyway, he is not proficient in land and naval warfare. However, his experience of studying since he was a child made it a lot easier for him to enter the navy.
And the lack of talent in the Navy also made it easy for him to enter the Naval Staff Headquarters after graduation. At this point, he is quite grateful that the Army Military Academy did not admit him. Hu Guanghan's request was not a big deal in his opinion, so he quickly took the ** slip handed over by the other party and went to his own division.
Hu Guanghan was thinking about waiting for a long time, but unexpectedly, the other party quickly ran out. This made Hu Guanghan extremely disappointed and said to Chen Yuwang: "Isn't your navy unwilling*? Looks like I'll have to go to the Ordnance Warden..."
Chen Yuwang looked at him very strangely and said: "Who said that we don't want to*, my official has agreed, and he asked me to go to the ordnance supervision with you to see when this * can start production." ”
Hu Guanghan suddenly said with some surprise: "This is an order of 80,000 yuan a year, can it be determined so quickly?" Have you ever reported* any data? ”
Chen Yuwang was a little confused, so he reacted after a while and said: "Yes, this is an order of 80,000 yuan a year, but it is also the price of a Taihu battleship." If * is really useful, as long as it plays an effect in a naval battle, it can be regarded as saving a battleship, and the cost of this year* is worth it. ”
Hu Guanghan was suddenly silent, the concerns of the army and navy are completely different, and it is no wonder that the colleagues of the army general staff have such a displeased view of the navy. He stepped back slightly, and after making way out of the passage, he said to Chen Yuwang: "Then let's go to the Ordnance Prison together now..."
In October of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the turmoil caused by Qian Shisheng's case finally gradually subsided. As officials from all over the country took sides on this incident, Qian Shisheng himself publicly confessed his guilt and asked the court to resign, and some voices that originally supported Qian Shisheng also fell silent, and public opinion began to criticize Qian Shisheng for his mistakes, which were small mistakes that could not be easily let go, but crimes against the country and the people.
Wen Tiren and his party, who were originally trying to defend Qian Shisheng, saw that the momentum was not good, so they cut off with Qian Shisheng instead, saying that they had been deceived by Qian Shisheng before, so they would defend Qian Shisheng.
Hui Shiyang, Ni Yuanlu and Huang Daozhou, who returned to the capital, although they did not fall into the well like Wen Tiren, they no longer tried to defend Qian Shisheng. On 11 October, Chongzhen accepted Qian Shisheng's resignation and ordered him to return to his hometown to be placed under residential surveillance by the local county order, which was considered to have temporarily closed the case.
Three days later, Qian Shisheng quietly left the capital, and only Hui Shiyang, Ni Yuanlu, and Huang Dao went to see each other off. The disheartened Qian Shisheng didn't say anything to the three of them, just drank three glasses of stuffy wine, got up and left in a hurry.
In the farewell pavilion, Hui Shiyang, Ni Yuanlu, and Huang Daozhou looked at the table full of motionless wine and food, and they were also very depressed. Ni Yuanlu's heart was the most resentful, and after being silent for a long time, he said to the two people present: "Your Majesty, this is not good or evil, only about intimacy."
Qian Zhi has made these mistakes, but he is still loyal to His Majesty. Since His Majesty's accession to the throne, he has vigorously upheld His Majesty's authority.
Li Kuilong, Sun Zhiji, Cui Chengxiu, Feng Quan and others are all remnants of the former eunuch party and mortal enemies of the righteous men and gentlemen in the world. But because they greet His Majesty all day long, they have gained His Majesty's closeness. Is there any reason for this? ”
Hui Shiyang, who understood Ni Yuanlu's character, was silent, but Huang Daozhou, who had returned to the capital not long ago, couldn't listen to it anymore, he frowned and said, "Ruyu, don't be open-mouthed. Of course, Qian Zhi is loyal to His Majesty, but the law of the country is the law of the country, and his family and relatives are so reckless, if Your Majesty does not dispose of him, how can he obey the public? ”
Ni Yuanlu immediately replied unconvinced: "Your Majesty governs the country, doesn't it rely on us gentry-born officials?" People like Li Kuilong, Sun Zhiji, Cui Chengxiu, and Feng Quan, in addition to meeting the horse, what else can they do to benefit the country?
Besides, the local gentry's house was the source of food and clothing for the poor. Whenever there is a flood or drought in a place, there is a division that will definitely order the gentry to give money to help the hungry, and when they encounter the police, they will help the castle to defend it, which shows that without the gentry's house, there will be no local stability.
"Zhou Li" is the twelfth absurd, and the rich are one. Is it really good governance to blame the gentry for tax evasion and evasion of taxes and to make the world discuss their crimes and wealth? Neither Emperor Qin nor Han Wu used such a method back then, let alone today's world? Your Majesty has shaken the foundation of the country with this, who will protect the foundation of this Ming Dynasty in the future? ”
Huang Daozhou finally changed color, he suddenly got up and said to Ni Yuanlu Zhengse: "Ruyu, do you know what it means to correct yourself first and then to correct others?" If your own body is not right, how can you be a righteous person?
We should take this as a warning, rather than using this incident to criticize the government behind our backs. Otherwise, what is the difference between us and Li Kuilong, Sun Zhiqi, Cui Chengxiu, and Feng Quan?
You said that Your Majesty is so affectionate, not good and evil. So what's in mind now? It seems that His Majesty's transfer of you from the Criminal Department is not out of nowhere. I still have something to do today, so I'll say goodbye to you first. ”
After Huang Daozhou finished speaking, he ignored it, and Ni Yuanlu's face was also extremely ugly. Hui Shiyang, who was on the side, called the name of Huang Daozhou several times in a row, but he couldn't make him stop, so he had to give up.
When he was about to open his mouth to comfort Ni Yuanlu, he saw that the other party also stood up violently, and said to him: "In the mood for drinking, I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk to Brother Hui today, and don't say goodbye, I'll talk about it in the future." ”
"Ruyu, Ruyu..." Hui Shiyang stood on the steps and called twice, seeing that the other party just raised his hand and waved, refusing to turn back, so he also gave up.
Hui Shiyang watched Huang Daozhou and Ni Yuanlu's carriage leave back and forth, and couldn't help but sit back in the empty pavilion. He poured himself a glass of wine and tasted it slowly, but his mind was thinking about what Ni Yuanlu had just said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. You destroy the gentry so much, who do you plan to rely on to govern this Ming Dynasty in the future? Hui Shiyang looked at the residual wine in his cup, couldn't help but whisper to himself, and then drank the residual wine in one gulp. Get up and tell your men to pack up their things and prepare to go back to the city.
