The crisis in Cangzhou has been preliminarily resolved? When I received the news from Yuzhou Port in Haizhou, I couldn't help but fall into a certain stunned and amazed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the transmission lines of the original telex and wrench signal towers from Binzhou to Haizhou and spanning about five states have been erected, signal towers with flash reflection during the day and ignition at night have also been erected on the other side of the Yellow River;

Therefore, the news sent by HB was very fast, and it only took about a standard day (half an hour), and the rest was a whole day of delay necessary to ship Dao Yizhou by sea.

Although this time it seemed to be a successful rescue operation, and even the results were nothing special, I still saw a lot of remarkable excellence in it;

For example, the practice of gathering small steamers to tow troop transporters, and for example, the adventurous act of allowing inland gunboats with shallow drafts to cross the Yellow River... Some of them are forward-thinking concepts that I mentioned, and some of them are their own experiments and innovations.

Another example: in the case of the limited number of troops actually arrived, Han Liangchen did not rush into the city to join the defenders, or preset the position to contain and echo each other from afar;

Instead, the troops were allowed to disembark in advance to warm up, and then cooperate with the convoy led by gunboats and followed by armed troop carriers to march together, bluffing to create a suspicious plan for a large-scale troop advance.

This shows that Han Liangchen has a certain kind of veteran spiciness, as well as the vision and ability to grasp the fighter plane.

As the last of the five commanders of Huaidi, he has long been responsible for the training and teaching of the army, and even a lot of transactional work of the Joint School Armament Branch; It doesn't have much of a big spot in normal times, but once there is a need and change, it can be very useful at a critical moment.

This is also the fundamental reason why I have always been relieved to hand over the mobile forces in the rear to him, and I have been in charge of the two prefectures for a long time when I am away. It belongs to the kind of existence that looks inconspicuous but makes people feel at ease.

With the arrival of rotational troops, most of the main forces I brought out of the army order have also been withdrawn; The remaining five battalion leaders continued to stay in Yizhou with me, also to continue to pay attention to the situation in Lingnei and to go south to receive the two groups of pioneers I sent.

Of course, in the name of it, it is still necessary to say that in order to take precautions, the remnants of the rebel party who fled continued to cause trouble and other disturbances along the coast of Fujian. During this period, I could only wait for follow-up news while patrolling and inspecting the integration and training of the new troops.

After defeating the Tokai Society and the sailors it supported and controlled, the sea route to the south became smooth again, and the flow of materials and news to the South China Sea was also rapidly restored, but it still needed time to give back, and it was impossible to see the effect immediately; After Zong Rulin's initial cleanup, the coastal states and counties of Fujian have become undefended to us.

As a newly formed unit, the morale and physical fitness of the 20 or so rack battalions are quite good; There is only a gap in the equipment of firearms, and it needs to be produced overtime, after all, this is also a new situation extended by the war in Yizhou.

In the original plan and plan, it did not fully take over the planning of Yizhou, but intended to continue to ensure and support a few powerful agents through military deterrence, and conditionally protect the interests and output of the rear;

But the so-called plan could not catch up with the changes, and I did not expect that these enemies were menacing, and when the incident occurred, it was certainly very vigorous, but in fact the battle was not fought, so that the places that we needed to clean up and control suddenly exceeded expectations by several times.

There were about 6,000 of the captured official-style firearms, and because they were not very suitable, they were all regarded by me as some kind of trophy and evidence of reality, and together with the standard firearms and equipment of the Shenji Army, they were transferred to Jiangning and tens of thousands of catties of coarse gunpowder were put in.

As a corresponding feedback and linkage, Jiang Ning can be regarded as acquiescing to the fait accompli of my actions and actions in Fujian, but it also relatively expresses the basic attitude of stopping in moderation in the affairs of the Donghai Society, and not being good at being arbitrary and overstepping, and causing extraneous or futile things to the imperial court.

I've just arranged the preliminary statute of naturalization here, and there's a change there; A piece of good news that is not good news, there is a group of people who are going to be exiled to Yizhou;

It was the Danyang army that rushed to the Jingguang Gate of Jiangning Mansion some time ago when he was annoyed and made a mutiny, and he was like the Danyang army facing the enemy. After being suppressed and pacified, most of them were sentenced to be sent as official slaves and exiled to distant lands.

Because of the current chaos between the north and the south, it is impossible to start, and it is impossible to keep this group of criminal troops in their hands for a long time, and the additional consumption of materials is not considered to be a hidden danger of vain change; So those who were good to die were temporarily assigned to Yizhou by sea; Of course, this did not mean that I took the opportunity to shift the burden and burden, and it also brought me the meaning of finding something to distract myself.

To say that this group of people also has a little connection with our Huaizhen subordinates, as one of the several mountaintops in the Huaidi army, about one-third to two-fifths of the soldiers are from the local origins or have some connection with the local Danyang area.

Later, due to the famine and chaos in Jianghuai, many of the soldiers of the former feudal towns who were repatriated in Runzhou could not survive, and together with their families, they were recruited to Huaidong to settle and resettle, and there were also 70,000 or 80,000 people, because of the local cultural and educational atmosphere, the literacy rate among these people was slightly higher than that in other places, and they also filled some middle and lower class positions in the local area.

For example, Fang Yingwu, who was born as a white painter, now has thousands of editors in charge of propaganda and public opinion under him, and the part-time staff who have been trained in storytelling and singing for a long time and singing lyrics are more than two or three times as many as them; As a result, it also supported one of the components of the people's propaganda and the guidance of public opinion at the bottom under the rule of Huaizhen, although it was still very rough and belonged to a relatively extensive primitive stage.

Therefore, because of this, I have a friendship, and after I really arrived at the place, I did not have all kinds of differentiation and disintegration and then slowly adopted the means of concocting for my own use, such as the means of pre-acceptance through Tuntian.

Since ancient times, although the land of Jiangzuo has been rich and densely populated, it has also limited per capita land and serious local annexation, so that a large number of people can only rely on the shadow of the wealthy families to make a living as slaves and tenants.

The fields are reclaimed piece by piece, and in the process, the pride and sense of belonging to building a home with their own hands are also spontaneously born, and with the expectation that each household has obtained the corresponding field, there is naturally no shortage of people who are willing to take root here.

Another piece of good news sent during this time,

It was in accordance with my preset research and experimental direction that the gunpowder factory in Qingzhou came up with a formula for the original version of the double-base ****** (such as gunpowder made of cotton wool and ********) that burned faster and more fully, and was more powerful and required less weight.

Although I know that the flammable nitrocellulose is soaked in the ******** that is difficult to volatile, and the general principle of passivation plasticization, there are also products that are ******** in batches; However, in order to find the most suitable ratio, whether it is gunpowder or gunpowder, or the ratio of components required for flying fire and explosive bombs, it is still necessary to gradually find out the test and adjustment step by step.

Once the optimized formula is finalized in actual combat, a new round of changes and improvements will be set off for the caliber of firearms and the ammunition specifications used in the current equipment;

In addition, according to the hints accumulated in my notepad, the dual-base gunpowder may also bring a technology pre-unlock, which is the feasibility of the original burst weapon;

Because compared with the original black powder, or the early single-base nitrification powder, the double-base gunpowder is better in terms of volatility and ignition point stability; This also means that the risk of accidental ignition, such as the use of a bullet wheel or a runner, is further reduced.

In this way, the use of an embedded primer to replace the external fire cap has a certain foundation and feasibility.

Does this also mean that I can consider some of the higher rate of fire, the simple linkage structure of the rotating tube weapon, the dynamic principle exploded diagram of the original hand-cranked rotating tube Gatling, I have seen it on military forums; Although there is also the problem of low level of material technology and easy to ablate the inner wall of the barrel, it is already a matter to consider after hundreds or thousands of rounds.

If you can scrap some barrels in exchange for increasing the lethality and deterrence of the enemy, what is the joy of not doing it; It is precisely the so-called process of military technology development that "does not accumulate steps, does not become a thousand miles."

There are many similar forward-looking studies, which burn at least one-tenth of the family's paper earnings every month; Fortunately, as long as the direction is not wrong, the results are only to see if there are fewer detours, and the time to advance step by step is a matter of length or short; Then, the resulting efficiencies and cost-gains in certain areas, or the ongoing and potential benefits in the long run, are not to be discussed.

It's just that

There is still not enough news and feedback on the side of the Guangfu family, and even the news that the Luo Mansion has been destroyed is the same, and the only thing that is certain is that no one has fallen into the hands of those rebels.

At this time, I received another somewhat surprising news, Xin Jiaxuan and his wife who escaped from Guangfu are in Meizhou.

However, they were trapped again, because rebel ships had appeared on the sea, and several ships had been intercepted and sunk in the shipping lanes that were trying to escape.

Although they took up the artillery positions they had temporarily erected on the seawall in the middle of the harbor, and after losing more than a dozen large valves that rushed to the shore, they gave up their intention to continue the attack, but in the confrontation they were tantamount to trapping the troops I sent to the local area in disguise.

Because I can't go to sea to deal with them with these vanguard troops. At least there is no way to do it until Zong Ze's sailor turns back. (To be continued.) )
