"Isn't there really any danger? The soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom will not attack Dading Mansion when the three families will join the alliance, right? ”

Cai You frowned, always feeling that this matter was unreliable.

Zhao Song royal family has a hereditary timidity problem...... It is estimated that His Royal Highness Dingwang's courage will not be too big, if the Jurchens suddenly call, they will not be scared out of trouble, right?

"No, no." Wu Haogu waved his hand and said confidently, "How come? What the Jurchens want to deal with is Da Liao, not our Da Zhou! Our Great Zhou Army has 18 elite divisions, more than 200,000 undefeated soldiers, and hundreds of cannons. How dare the Jurchens fight us? ”

More than 200,000 undefeated soldiers and hundreds of cannons are, of course, the full strength of the army of the Great Zhou Republican Army.

However, the current Great Zhou Army has not yet reached such a level, and there are more than 200,000 troops, but most of them manage farms at home. A considerable number of the hundreds of cannons have not yet been produced!

Each of the sixteen infantry divisions of the Great Zhou had an artillery battalion, and the two cavalry divisions had two cavalry artillery teams. Each artillery battalion has three artillery units and one engineer brigade. In total, there were fifty artillery teams, each with four bronze guns, for a total of two hundred cannons.

There are also two artillery brigades directly under the management of the Military Department and the Military Machinery Department, and there are eight artillery battalions and 24 artillery teams under the full strength, equipped with 96 artillery pieces.

In addition, the artillery branch of the Knight Academy is also equipped with more than a dozen teaching guns.

In other words, the theoretical number of full-strength artillery of the Great Zhou Army should be more than 300.

However, only two-thirds of them are now in preparation, and dozens of them are unusable because of quality problems - it is not that the Tianjin Cannon Factory and the Yanshan Cannon Factory (both of which are commercial arsenals invested by Wu Haogu) cut corners, but that the cannon has just been invented not long ago, and it is still in the exploration stage. If the technology is too aggressive, it is prone to problems.

In addition, the yield rate of cast guns is not high, about 10 percent. And the means of detection are insufficient, so it is not surprising that some problematic artillery leaves the factory.

However, despite all the shortcomings, the artillery unit of the Zhou army was still a formidable force.

Their presence caused a crushing defeat to any enemy who tried to defeat the divisional Zhou army with a dignified array.

Hearing Wu Haogu show off his strength, Zhang Shuye just smiled slightly, "Führer, this official has heard that the Great Zhou artillery is invincible, but unfortunately he can't see it with his own eyes. I wonder if the official can see the true face of the artillery? ”

"Good!" Wu Haogu smiled, "Zhang Shumi wants to see it, how can this head be unreasonable?" There are cannons in the artillery branch of the Knight Academy outside Tianjin, which will be tested every day, and the privy council wants to see it, and it can be arranged at any time. ”

"Then thank you to the Führer, this official can always open his eyes."

Uncle Zhang's words, of course, have an element of foolishness. He actually saw cannons.

Because the new army of the Song army now also has artillery!

Absolutely! Although the Great Song Dynasty in this time and space has many internal problems, it is not a backward country.

The Great Zhou of Wuhao Gu had the blessing of the positivist school, while the Great Song Dynasty had scholars of the rational school. Even Song Daozong himself, who is now obsessed with mathematics, has mastered the knowledge of the "Metaphysical Original".

Therefore, the cannon made by Wu Haogu with a golden finger could not keep a secret for too long to the rational scholars of the Song Dynasty.

Last time, when Mi Youren took the fleet to Shanghai to scare Ji Yi, he had already leaked the secret.

The scholars of the Shanghai University of Arts and Sciences did not wait for Mi Youren to leave Shanghai, and made imitations out of wood.

And people also know that your cannon is fired with gunpowder, and the professors at the Shanghai University of Arts and Sciences also have a sense of smell and can smell the smell of gunpowder.

As for the optimal ratio of gunpowder, they have known it for a long time, and even black powder has been figured out! Many professors from the College of Arts and Sciences are simply students who graduated from the School of Natural Sciences of Yuntai Xuegong. Although the School of Nature does not teach the formula of gunpowder and the production method of black powder, it can't stand that people can do chemical experiments!

Rational inference, empirical testing, coupled with logical analysis, plus the endless scientific research funds provided by Ji Yi...... Black powder is not an atomic bomb, and if it cannot be explored, then rationalism and positivism will be too much of a failure.

With black powder, I saw the appearance of the cannon, and I picked up the round shells, and then I went to reverse engineering, wasn't it just to cast a cylinder in bronze?

There is also a metallurgical college in the Yuntai School Palace in Haizhou, and Ji Yi also recruited many students from it, and opened an iron factory in Haizhou in the name of the Hailu City Ship Manufacturing Division, specializing in the manufacture of "fake" Qingtang Qizi armor and Japanese knives.

With such technical strength, it is certainly not a problem to cast a cylindrical bronze.

It's just that the bronze cannon that is cast is always blown up...... This is also normal!

To what extent the barrel of the bronze cannon should be processed, what means of anti-explosion bore should be adopted, and how to inspect it must be explored and practiced for a long time.

Positivism is used to guide this kind of practical exploration...... It's nothing more than a mistake, spending "tuition", taking the time, and slowly accumulating experience.

So I cast a few Qingtang cannons with thickened barrels and sent them to Kaifeng Mansion to play with the people of the Privy Council and the Ordnance Supervisor.

Uncle Zhang naturally attached great importance to advanced weapons, and personally observed the artillery bombardment, and was also very surprised by the power of the cannon. At that time, he ordered the ordnance supervisor to imitate it!

At the same time, he was also very interested in the original artillery equipped by the Zhou army, and wanted to witness their power.

……

After arranging for Uncle Zhang to go to see the cannon at night, and at the same time finding an excuse to send troops to Dading Mansion, Wu Haogu's mood was finally a lot more relaxed. I'm starting to think about other official business.

As the head of the republic, Wu Haogu's official duties are actually not too much. Because the administrative system of the current republic was upgraded from the original Youzhou ruling government.

The original left and right divisions were upgraded to left and right ministers, the six rooms of soldiers, officials, rites, households, workers, and criminal departments became six departments, and the six prisons of legal affairs, education, agriculture and animal husbandry, market ships, and silver money retained their original titles.

In addition, the General Military Aircraft Department was renamed the Military Aircraft Division, and the Chief Inspectorate still used its original name. The government offices of the left and right ministers are called the left and right ministers' offices.

There are two governments, two departments, six ministries and six supervisors, and of course it is not difficult to be the head of state of Wu Haogu.

Moreover, the Great Zhou Republic is not very big, there are not many things, and there is a relatively complete system of local self-government.

Therefore, Wu Haogu, the head of state, is not too busy compared to Zhao Ji, the Daojun Emperor.

The most important government affairs he has to deal with at the moment is not how to govern the Zhou State, but how to build a new type of Oriental diplomatic system.

Führer's Palace, small synagogue.

"Now we have sent ministers to each other with the Great Song Dynasty, and we have also set up legations for each other. It's a good model to promote. Next, we should also send envoys to Daliao, Dajin, Japan, Goryeo, Jiaozhi, and Hexi......"

"Führer, Hexi is not an independent country, is it suitable to send ministers?"

Mi Youren, who became the left minister of the Great Zhou Republic as he wished, heard that Wu Haogu was going to send a minister to Hexi, and hurriedly reminded him.

"It's not a country, but it's pretty much the same." Wu Haogu shook his head, "Send a minister!" Let Gao Lian serve as the first minister in Liangzhou, and at the same time as the messenger of condolences to Zhang Yuan, on behalf of himself to worship Zhang Yuan.

In addition, if possible, take Zhang He and Zhang Yi out of Liangzhou. ”

Gao Lian is Gao Yu's younger brother, and he has been messing around here in Wuhao Gu for the past few years. This time, he also had a share of the honorable people, and he got a noble citizen and tens of thousands of acres of private land. But there is no suitable official position for him to do, just an idle existence.

But this time, Wu Haogu found him a suitable errand - minister in Liangzhou.

The Zhang family and the Gao family have a close relationship, one owns Hexi and the other is hereditary Lingzhou, and they rely on each other to live.

Therefore, Zhang Zhuo can ignore Wu Haogu's requirements, but he can't help but give Gao Lian face.

If Wu Haogu and Gao Lian came forward together, Zhang Zhuo could only let his two younger brothers take refuge in Tianjin.

However, the action to rescue Zhang He and Zhang Bureau, the two losers of the political struggle in Hexi, still had an accident.

It can be said that the operation has not even begun, it has already failed!

Because Gao Lian had not yet left Tianjin, Zhang He and Zhang Feng had been escorted to Zhang Zhuo, who was still wearing filial piety clothes.

When Zhang Yuan's two sons saw Zhang Zhuo, they all cried like tears, begging for their lives.

The political struggle in Hexi is no better than that of the Great Zhou Republic, which is too rich, and their line is the capitalist line, so they always keep one hand in the struggle and do not engage in extermination.

Anyway, if you are not on stage, everyone has enough wealth to enjoy, so why make it too ugly?

That Gao Yongchang was killed by his younger brother, and if he fell into the hands of Wu Haogu, he would definitely not be able to die.

But Hexi is different, the Hexi Great Education Corps is facing a brutal sectarian struggle, and it can't be soft at all!

Moreover, Hexi is a barren land, and there is no extra wealth to support the leaders of the failed factions.

Therefore, the struggle in Hexi has always been full of blood!

Zhang Zhuo just said coldly: "Second brother, fifth brother, don't blame me for being a brother, it's really too unscrupulous for you two." Before your father's bones were cold, you fled from Liangzhou, one to Gaochang in the west, and the other to flee to the army of the Teachings...... What do you want to do?

It's a pity that the Uighurs of Gaochang have long been in decay, and they can't protect their second brother at all. As for Yu Jiao, he has long been my man! ”

Zhang Yuan's youngest son, Zhang Yuan, couldn't believe his brother's words, and cried and shook his head, "Impossible, impossible, Yu Tongdao is a Yuntai bachelor, how can he take refuge in you?" ”

Zhang Zhuo sneered: "How could it not?" I dare to make a military rebellion in Hedong and kidnap Tong Guan back to Shuofang. Do you think that Yu Tongdao and Liu Long will fight against me for the sake of you? ”

Zhang He on the side was a little tougher than Zhang He, and he didn't cry at this time, and scolded his younger brother: "What do you ask him to do?" It's nothing more than a death! Don't lose the face of the Zhang family in front of this unfilial son! ”

"That's pretty much it!" Zhang Zhuo waved his hand and said to Feng Mingshan, who led people to escort Zhang He and Zhang Gong: "Drag them out and behead them to show the public!" In addition, kill all their sons, and leave not one behind! ”
