Chapter 398: Three Heroes at the End of the Song Dynasty
Acura heroes do not forget the national shame is what Huang Sheng often talks about when he teaches teenagers, and the stories of the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty - Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, and Zhang Shijie are familiar to the people of the Huang family system.

These two scholars have been enslaved by Houjin for many years, and they have been able to understand the pain of being bullied by foreign races when the country is ruined, and today they have the honor to tell the story of the national hero in front of the great tomorrow, and of course they spare no effort.
Chongzhen has heard several emperors talk about this history of the Southern Song Dynasty, and those old masters can only read according to the book, where will there be a story-like vivid description, and the young son of heaven can listen to it.
After the defeat of the Yashan Naval Battle, Lu Xiufu committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea with the young emperor Zhao Yu of the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the harem and ministers jumped into the sea, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who did not want to be slaves also jumped into the sea and died heroically, seven days later, there were more than 100,000 corpses on the surface.
Hearing this paragraph, the young son of heaven burst into tears for a while, and he was silent for a long time before giving the island a name - Lu Xiufu Island, the left prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, referred to as "Lugong Island".
The place name Hong Kong will no longer exist, there is only Lugong Island here.
Xin Haijun also asked the Ming Emperor to agree to hire 300 members of the family of Guanqian Daohuang to garrison the island, and Korea only sent 100 soldiers to "Lugong Island" to participate in the garrison with the Ming army as the main part.
Emperor Chongzhen was very strange and asked the reason. He learned from the two envoys that five years ago, when Lord Huang Sheng was chasing Jiannu's traitors at sea, he happened to save Xinhaijun, who was about to be killed by pirates.
Therefore, the prince of North Korea admired the force of the Huang family, and asked to hire 300 Huang Daren's family members to maintain the law and order of "Lugong Island".
Xin Haijun is completely assured of Lord Huang's family, and there is no suspicion that there is no need for people to be used, and the North Korean side only sent a small number of troops to garrison "Lugong Island", and the security issue is fully entrusted to Lord Huang Sheng's family team.
Xin Haijun can make a deal with Huang Sheng in private, and now he actually asked Chongzhen for a decree, and the young son of heaven thought that Xin Haijun respected him very much, so he agreed on the spot, and asked His Excellency to give Huang Lord a decree to facilitate this matter.
The ministers saw that most of the defenders of the Ming land leased to Xinhaijun were still the family members of the Ming courtiers, and they all smiled and bowed their heads, which shows that "Lugong Island" is very different from Macao, where the Ming army is still stationed.
The news of the arrival of "Lugong Island" was delivered to Huangjiawan Island three days later, and Huang Sheng immediately sent 1,000 households from Dongjiang Town to immigrate, and residents of Zhongmingbao and Huangjiawan Island went there to develop.
Since Kinmen Island was garrisoned by several thousand men and horses of Xu Xinsu, Liu Shifu, the musketeer who stayed in Kinmen, transferred half of the military attachés and the townsmen who had been trained for a year to run "Lugong Island."
The training of unicyclers was in full swing on Huangjiawan Island, because Huang Sheng knew that the road conditions in the south were not as good as those in the north, and there were too many places where the four-wheeled carriage could not be passed, and the unicycle could be carried out almost anywhere people could walk normally.
The maximum load capacity of the wheelbarrow designed by the Huang family is 800 catties, and the wheels are a model of four-wheeled carriages, and the same steel wheels are supported by steel wires, which are still tinned and rust-proof.
In order to reduce weight, the frame, push rod, and feet are made of tinned seamed steel pipes.
Huang Sheng's design requirements for various military vehicles are that they can be quickly disassembled and assembled, and the wheelbarrow is no exception, it weighs 180 pounds, and can be decomposed into left and right frames, push rods, car support feet, etc., and the heaviest part is 60 pounds of wheels connected with load-bearing steel axles.
When marching, it is inevitable to climb mountains and wade through waters, and when encountering treacherous road conditions that even the wheelbarrow cannot propel, it does not matter, dismantle the wheelbarrow, and all the soldiers come to help carry it on their shoulders and carry it over the danger and assemble it again.
The technology of Huangjia fasteners has been quite mature, bolts, nuts are tinned and anti-rust treatment, important fasteners do not hesitate to use nickel white copper manufacturing, the purpose is only one convenient disassembly, can not affect the efficiency of the march because of the rust of fasteners.
The Huang family relied too much on logistics to fight, because Huang Sheng was people-oriented and tried his best to provide protection for the soldiers, and the soldiers could not wear helmets and armor when marching, and these equipment needed to be transported.
The musketeer's spare guns were also to be loaded, because if a musketeer of the first rank fired three guns, the combat effectiveness would be more than doubled, and a team of five hundred men could play a role of more than a thousand.
How easy is it to train a brave and resourceful young first-class musketeer? Of course, to keep them safe and secure.
How simple is it to train a person who pushes a unicycle? A month is enough.
The three musketeers had two chauffeurs who took turns pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with 800 catties of equipment and supplies, and they played a greater role than six soldiers, so the logistics support of the Huang family was the guarantee of winning the battle with small losses and big gains.
Artillery and grenadiers are even more inseparable from logistical support, and the weight of artillery shells, gunpowder, and "Megatron Thunder" is not light, and even the artillery carts need to be disassembled and packed by several wheelbarrows to pass through the treacherous road sections.
In the battlefield with bad road conditions, the artillery that can accompany the army can only be the caliber of the six-pounder gun, the Huang family six-pounder gun because of the use of barrel hoop technology and all cast steel, so that the total amount is two percent lighter than the Napoleonic gun, the body of the six-pounder gun weighs 600 catties, and it can be transported by wheelbarrow.
In charge of training the wheelbarrow drivers are the ten heroic coachmen who were wounded and retired from the bloody battle in Jinzhou, they are also researchers who participated in the design and finalization of the wheelbarrow, they have tried the wheelbarrow themselves, and have trained forty strong men from Dongjiang Town.
Ten wounded coachmen headed by Mo Huaiwu and Zhen Hanzhi found that the head of the family attached great importance to the construction of the wheelbarrow transport team, and sent 500 strong men to receive training at once, and they were unprecedentedly enthusiastic, and led their men to carry 800 catties of various irregular materials around Huangjiawan Island every day.
The wheels of the wheelbarrow are common to the four-wheeled carriage, and there is already a stock, Huang Sheng arranged the task of producing 500 units as soon as possible, and the person in charge, Zhang Laifu, said that it will be completed in 40 days, and the quality is high.
The head of the family told everyone that the Huang family might have to fight in the humid south, and everyone must be mentally prepared and have a countermeasure.
During this period, whenever it was rainy and rainy, all the officers led their troops to conduct long-distance marching training in the rain, and the raincoats, canopies and marching tents produced by the Huang family could fully meet the needs of 100,000 horses.
The training requirement is that the thermal weapon unit must ensure that the artillery must be able to fire normally even if it is rainy for a month, the musket must be able to fire, and the rate of mute fire must not be higher than 20 percent under normal weather, that is, it must also ensure that the flintlock rifling gun has a 70 percent firing rate.
All the soldiers had to brainstorm how to ensure that the muskets and gunpowder were not damp on rainy days, and how to dry the damp gunpowder in a safe way.
Time is like an arrow, seeing that after the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Huang Sheng is ready to run to Nanyang again, this time Chu'er is not entangled in following the road, because due to the hard work of her husband, the beauty has blossomed and borne fruit.
It's only been two months, and I can't see that Chu'er has a belly at all, but the beauty cares too much and is too careful, she pays attention to health and fetal protection every day, and says that she must give birth to a healthy fat boy for her husband.
When the news came out, the Huang family was naturally overjoyed, and if the eldest woman gave birth to a son, she would be the eldest son, the heir of the Huang family.
