The rear-loading flintlock rifle is the development trend of muskets.

The Great Ming firearm has a high degree of development, but the power of individual firearms is small, only the power of the cannon is enough, which can effectively deal with the cavalry, and the weight of the cannon is too large, and the transportation is not flexible.

The firing range of the gun is related to the sealing performance of the tail, and it is also closely related to the internal surface quality of the barrel, and the degree of matching between the warhead and the barrel also affects the firing range.

Shen Yue thought about it carefully and found that in order to obtain a barrel with better performance, it is necessary to have steel and processing equipment with better performance; In order to improve the sealing performance of the tail locking device, better steel and cutting equipment are also needed......

This is the last thing Shen Yue wants to face.

It is too nonsense for a person to come up with an industrial system, even if he knows the steel formula and understands the structure of various general machinery and equipment, it is difficult to build it.

"Alas, no matter how hard it is, it has to be done. Draw the drawings first, meet the Spaniards, and see if they have them. "Shen Yue is helpless." I don't know how powerful Zheng Zhilong is now. ”

Shen Yue also counted on getting the guns from the Spaniards or the Portuguese before.

Where is it like when he drew his own drawings, he could buy materials from any shop that sold materials, and any machining workshop could provide very high-precision machining.

The Dutch, now like a heifer flying in the sky, don't look at the Daming Sailor at all, and only after the Battle of Luowan next year, the red-haired ghost will be more honest.

The only thing Shen Yue couldn't tell was how powerful Zheng Zhilong was, and whether he had begun to collect all the protection fees for the merchant ships he encountered.

Shen Yue's few historical knowledge, only know that Zheng Zhilong was recruited by Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan as soon as Chongzhen ascended the throne and became a coastal defense guerrilla, but he was not bound by the imperial court. The protection fee collected was not given to the imperial court, and it continued to expand its troops and horses, and Taiwan and Fujian became the territory of the Zheng family.

The Battle of Liuluo Bay, not only Zheng Zhilong's team fought against the Dutch, but also the last time Yang Wei of the Daming Naval Division fought this naval battle.

"If I knew, I would have read more history books!" Shen Yue patted his head and had a headache.

His thinking is wild, and his thoughts jump a lot.

The boring life at sea made Shen Yue only work hard to draw drawings to pass the time, and at the same time consider manufacturing under the production level of the Ming Dynasty, and worry about Zheng Zhilong, the big Buddha that no maritime merchant of the Ming Dynasty could bypass.

If you don't pay the protection fee, Zheng Zhilong's people will directly grab the boat!

A ship costs 3,000 taels of silver, is Shen Yue willing?

And Zheng Zhilong mixed with the Dutch a few years ago, constantly plundering Spanish merchant ships, and the two sides were enemies.

This is also the reason why Shen Yue did business with the Spaniards......

Shen Gongzi suffered at sea, and the Ming court was not very lively these days.

In the court, Emperor Chongzhen, who looked tired, suppressed the monstrous anger in his heart, and looked at his ministers with cold eyes.

These are all important ministers of his humerus in the country, except for making him troubled, no one can worry about the monarch, but the party is the same and the party fights against the other, and the party forms the party for his own selfish interests.

Nowadays, the court is experiencing a struggle, and Wen Tiren, an assistant minister of the cabinet, and the same party impeached Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, for bending the law for personal gain, cronyism, and conniving at the tyranny of the children of the family.

Originally, Zhou Yanru discussed the countermeasures for the siege of Laizhou in Shandong, but Zhou Yanru did not support the sending of troops to encircle and suppress because the imperial court was short of money and food, and suggested that the imperial court send officials from the Ministry of Rites to Laizhou to appease the rebel general Kong Youde who besieged Laizhou, and the rebel general Chen Shi who occupied Dezhou.

immediately aroused Wen Tiren, who was also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to fight back.

Although everyone knows that the household department lacks money and food, and the internal government is empty, it is difficult for the imperial court to raise money and food for suppressing the rebellion.

In May, the imperial court appointed Zhu Dadian, who participated in the political affairs, as the governor of Shandong, but Zhu Dadian was already in Shandong, but he had no money and food, and could not mobilize troops to attack the rebels.

Today's discussion is about this matter.

At the beginning of June, the Yellow River burst into Mengjinkou, the military and civilian merchants were killed and wounded, and the people were displaced. As soon as the money was scraped together for disaster relief, it was not a matter of a day that all parts of Shandong were besieged by the old troops of Mao Wenlong's rebellion.

Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Dengzhou and Laizhou, was an incompetent person, and he took the path of Zhou Yanru to become the governor of the two states.

After appeasing Kong Youde and others, Sun Yuanhua's responsibility will be much smaller.

Sun Yuanhua was deposed at the beginning of the year and has not yet been held accountable.

discussed encirclement and suppression before, but today Zhou Yanru changed his discussion to pacify, which was to exonerate Sun Yuanhua from the death penalty, but he didn't expect that Wen Tiren seized the opportunity to counterattack.

It doesn't matter if you give officials, since the beginning of the Wanli calendar, there are few scientific examinations, and there is a shortage of officials in many places in the Ming Dynasty, Rao is the Chongzhen Dynasty continues to take imperial examinations, grassroots officials can make up for it, and the middle and high-level officials are also withering.

Money and food, the court really can't take it out.

"I hope that the emperor will be clear-sighted, and since Weichen became an official, he has been conscientious every day, and he does not dare to slack off!" Zhou Yanru, as the first assistant to the cabinet, knew that this matter could not be explained, so he could only deal with it in this way.

The young Chongzhen looked coldly at the ministers with different faces, especially Wen Tiren, who caused this impeachment on the one hand, but now closed his eyes and recuperated, his thoughts were complicated.

"Your Majesty, last year's Chunyu Xinke Zhuangyuan Chen Yutai was the in-law of Lord Zhou, Chen Yutai didn't learn a lot, lingered in Fengyue places all day long, married prostitutes......" Chongzhen wanted to let this matter fade and discuss how to solve the anti-thieves in Laizhou and the powerful Gao Yingxiang and other anti-thieves in the north.

Zhou Yanru was deeply favored by him before he ascended the throne, and naturally did not believe in these impeachments.

The Donglin Party overthrew the eunuch party before, and after gaining power, it leaned to suppress the other parties, but now, when the enemy seized the opportunity, how can it be easy to let go?

Everyone is good at figuring out the intentions of the emperor and knows that the emperor wants to defend Zhou Yanru.

At this time, they have already torn their faces, and if they don't kill Zhou Yanru, they will have to withstand Zhou Yanru's counterattack. can only force the emperor to Zhou Yanru.

"Zhou Suru, the brother of Lord Zhou, ventured into the Jinyi Wei a few years ago, and was appointed to the five products of thousands of households. After becoming an official, he didn't want to serve the country, gathered a group of people who were pranky, bullied women, and fished the people......"

Now those who are not afraid of death and continue to impeach are all petty officials who are not in the stream, and they are the cannon fodder of the party struggle in the imperial court.

is not willing to be cannon fodder, only when you are cannon fodder, can you get the support of the big guy.

Zhou Yanru's henchmen didn't dare to speak, and if they worked harder, they would be able to get him down.

Sun Yuanhua is the best opportunity to attack Zhou Yanru, if it weren't for Sun Yuanhua's incompetence, why would the bandits in Shandong be so serious!

"Emperor Qi, the minister impeached Zhang Peiju, the secretary of the household department, for bending the law for personal gain, taking bribes, the treasury has no silver, the Zhang family servants are in groups, and they are extravagant every day......" Just as Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru were fighting at a critical moment, seeing that Zhou Yanru had to resign to avoid suspicion, he supervised the imperial history Luo Cheng to impeach Zhang Peiju, the leader of the Zhejiang Party.

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was silent.

Wen Tiren fights with Zhou Yanru and manages the affairs of the Zhejiang Party! Luo Cheng clearly wanted to muddy the water, Wen Tiren, who closed his eyes and recuperated, squinted his eyes and glanced at Luo Cheng with a murderous gaze, but he found a flash smile on Chongzhen's face.
