Guangfu, which has just passed the Shangyuan Festival, still looks cold and lifeless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The new shogunate who returned to Hirofu, but instead of living in Kamijo as scheduled, the shogunate residence where the great ministers of the past dynasties gave orders and lived their lives, temporarily resided in the Ouchi centered on Shoushan Palace, which inevitably led to many rumors of unnecessary imagination.

Of course, at this moment, the Fengyang Hall in the building complex of the Shoushan Palace, surrounded by several sons and daughters, is still in a good mood.

The counterinsurgency army had already crossed the Guangui Road along the official road along the coastline and entered Jiaozhou (present-day Hanoi, Vietnam) on the Anbei Road, where they were regrouping their grain and straw soldiers and preparing to move south to sweep away the enemy.

Although the rebels burned most of the wharves and port markets in Quang, thanks to the efforts of various people, hundreds of ships of all kinds were included in the ports on the eastern coast, and they transported grain and other supplies to the army that went south to quell the rebellion.

At the same time, the performances and letters of allegiance from various foreign feudal islands and continents by sea also arrived in Guangfu one after another.

Of course, at present, there are mainly many East Sea Provinces and few West Sea Provinces, especially the places where the princes of East and West Borneo and Luzon are attached, and ships of local goods and a lot of goods are sent along with the delegates;

According to those ministers, this situation was naturally due to the fact that those rebellious sailors could not reach safely by sea and land, and most of them were still very supportive of the orthodoxy maintained by the shogunate for generations.

In addition, after the five stays in the north headed by Huaizhen, they have also successively served all kinds of wealth and materials, although most of the quality and quantity are the existence of the heart, but it is also an important support and statement in the name.

The only less satisfactory conditions remain, mainly in the north:

First of all, the Kannai Province was attacked by a large number of foreign soldiers and horses, and those Kannai feudal towns that had already surrendered to the imperial court were also seriously damaged; Although after some hard fighting, these incoming enemies have been defeated by the high pets who stayed behind, but the corresponding request for help and replenishment of soldiers, horses, and grain and grass is also a rush along the ancient straight road for thousands of miles, and like snowflakes flying.

And the only thing he could do was to demolish the east wall and make up the west wall, and set up an order to stay in the headquarters of Yan Tieshan, who had been stationed in Tongguan to Shaanzhou, and send troops to support as appropriate.

In addition, the great cloud thieves who rushed out of Fujian and entrenched themselves in Liangzhejiang actually began to prepare for the re-establishment of the earthly kingdom of God in the local area; This is a matter of great disapproval in the world, at least the court of Guangfu has been restored, and it can no longer continue to sit idly by; We can only strictly order Jiangdong and Zhejiang, which are reorganizing troops in northern Zhejiang, to arrest Ambassador Wei Chen, and wait for an opportunity to strike at him and inflict heavy damage, so as to curb his momentum and the spread of poison.

In addition, the troops stationed in the Shannan Liangdao and Henan and Duqian areas lacked experience in surviving the winter from top to bottom because of the lack of winter clothing and fuel under the severe cold, and the poor transportation of the roads to the rear of the rented snow, resulting in various frostbites and illnesses and attrition.

The specific combat effectiveness is in a certain paralyzed situation, and it is unable to control and hold the outlying strongholds that have been occupied, so it can only shrink and retreat to larger cities, relying on the demolition of beams and houses on the spot to keep warm.

And because the Jinghu Rebellion was easily pacified, a large number of northward supplies were delayed, a considerable part of which was looted and burned, and the rest of the girder was backlogged on the line from Xiangyang to Shangzhou Wuguan, and even the Nanyang Basin could not enter.

In the end, according to Huaizhen, the advance and development carried out in Hebei were attacked by the remnants of the Northern Dynasty soldiers and horses from Pinglu Road, and the soldiers and civilians of several states suffered heavy losses and had no time to take care of themselves for a while; During this period, Zhang Bangchang, the former governor of Hebei Xingtai, who had led his troops to surrender and annexed to the imperial court, had no warning or action;

Therefore, the whole of Huaizhen was very indignant and pointed at him, this capricious old subordinate of the Northern Dynasty had secretly surrendered and rebelled, and reunited with the remnants of the Northern Army in Pinglu Dao.

Although there is a lot of controversy in this and it is not enough to take one side of the story, it also represents a certain state of affairs that is not very good; Could it be that Huaizhen and Zhang Bangchang's department of the Northern Dynasty who surrendered to Cheng Liang have reached such a point? If this is the only case, it is not a bad thing, and the momentum of Huaizhen's attacks in the north over the years should also be curbed;

But if it is another state of affairs, such as Zhang Bangchang's intention to take advantage of the civil strife of the national dynasty, and secretly unite the remnants of various forces in Hebei, it will inevitably be a bit of a big tail, or it means that it is a tiger to be a trouble.

But in any case, Huaizhen decided to use troops to counterattack and retaliate after the beginning of the spring in accordance with the position of Jingluo Hebei, and it was not even convenient for the imperial court to reprimand and prevent it, or it lacked a position to intervene in this matter in name.

After thinking about it, he decided to change his direction and position and deal with these things.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

And in the territory of Yizhou in Huaidong, it is still a weapon test ground under the cold wind.

"This is the latest improved turnaround?"

I looked at the stout looking tubular metal in front of me.

Compared to the original runner, the gun is significantly thicker, but the corresponding gun tube is thinner, and the five rings are juxtaposed together. It's like a big gun with a rotor structure, but it has become a thicker and longer tube structure.

Then the monolithic bullet wheel fed to the rear was also gone, and was replaced by a long bullet plate stuffed into the side, which was sandwiched by two perforated iron plates for about twenty or thirty rounds of ammunition; The same is operated by two people, one is responsible for shaking the crank, and one is responsible for stuffing the veneer into the other side, which requires trained skillful tacit understanding and rhythm to ensure the excitation frequency and firing efficiency of the corresponding projectile.

Among them, the most important is the miniaturization of the reciprocating spring used in the gun carriage, which involves a breakthrough in specific materials and heat treatment processes to meet the needs of strength and wear in this miniaturization mechanism.

Immediately, the weapon was fired on the spot, and the fragments of the target set up on the opposite side of the attack burst out, and the four parts were broken or folded apart, and for a time the air was filled with the smoke and smell peculiar to the new composite gunpowder.

I thought about it for a long time before I recalled, isn't this the earliest version of the hand-cranked Gatling, but there is no topload magazine that can use the bullet's own gravity to automatically load, but has taken the crooked path of the later devil's 92 heavy machine-style side-pressure loading principle.

It's just that at present, this thing is temporarily called "Combo Big Gun", which is still relatively rare, with a cardboard shell with a copper bottom fire, and the air leakage of the seam between the bullet plate and the rotating chamber is still relatively obvious, and the only advantage is that under the rotation of the firing through the tube, it can maintain a high firing frequency, without worrying about overheating and cooling.

Of course, this higher is also relative to the queue of firearms that are shot in line, through two skilled veterans, at least about a minute can shoot twenty or thirty rounds of projectiles, which is two or three times that of the current standard Huaizao three-type rifle equipped with tin foil fire caps.

And because of the larger caliber and charge, although the dispersion and accuracy are less than those of ordinary single-shot guns, the range is much longer, and even after two or three hundred steps, it has some lethality; As long as it is properly calculated and observed, it is even possible to use the upward tilt to achieve the effect of over-distance spanning in advance, but of course accuracy is another matter.

In this way, there is a better choice for the continuous fire support and suppression of the firearms unit; In the future, the pre-technology and foundation of automatic weapons such as submachine guns, machine guns, and heavy machine guns will also see the light of day.

Then, I camped in the snow and tasted several newly developed war food and semi-finished materials.

One of the new field rations, egg powder, was invented mainly to extend the storage period of eggs laid by a very large number of birds; Fat and sugar are added to the specific drying and baking process, at least in terms of taste and ease of eating, which is much better than the latest version of compressed biscuits and fried noodles;

As a result, it has become a widely used food addition and subtraction ingredient, as well as an integral part of war rations and ingredients. The natural low temperature in winter is the natural environment for processing egg powder for freeze-drying treatment, so it is now a suitable peak period for output. (To be continued.) )
