Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is three years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, according to the Western chronology, it was already 1871, that is, the year 4568 of the Chinese calendar.

It has been three years since the last anti-corruption storm, and in these three years, Zhang Yun has washed all the prefectures, counties, towns, and third-level governments in the eight southern provinces.

Only the governor level has not yet started to purge, because when the official reaches the governor level, if he takes them all down without hesitation, Zhang Yun is afraid that it will cause political turmoil!

But even so, in the eight southern provinces today, there is no place for large-scale corruption nests, and at most it is only a few people who are corrupt......

With the rule of officials and the political situation stable, Zhang Yun wants to do three major things.

Now it's all a mess...... At least all primary schools in every town have been established, so that all school-age children can get free primary education.

As for middle school, you need to pass the entrance exam to be able to enter the school and get free secondary education, because there are many places that require money, so Zhang Yun can be regarded as acquiescing to this behavior, but even so, Zhang Yun is very satisfied!

Even if only three out of ten primary school students can afford to be admitted to middle school, a large number of high-quality talents can be obtained in a few years......

As for the road project, although it has not yet reached the level of connecting every village, it has at least ensured that every town-level government has built roads, although most of them are still dirt roads!

But at least it gives the ordinary people a way to go out, and many new things can also be transmitted to remote towns through those dirt roads.

Now even the most remote villages already know that the sky has changed, and now it is the Patriotic Army that rules them, and it will not be like before that even the emperor has changed for a few years, and those remote villages do not know that the emperor has changed, which is of great benefit to the rule of the Patriotic Army.

It was only until now that Zhang Yun dared to pat his chest and say to anyone: Lao Tzu has completely ruled more than 100 million people in the eight southern provinces......

As for medical ...... Due to the shortage of people, only one hospital can be set up in each county, but Zhang Yun believes that after the unification of the country, it will develop for a few more years.

At that time, this medical system will definitely be greatly improved!

At least a small hospital should be set up in every town to provide free medical care to ordinary people, and Zhang Yun believes that there is still no problem.

For three years, apart from developing new weapons, building large-caliber artillery, and building two steel battleships, Zhang Yun didn't do anything!

All his efforts have been devoted to these three major events, and now that the three major events have been basically completed, the foundation of his rule can be said to be very solid.

Even if the Manchu court and Li Hongzhang are fighting now, they want to go south to find themselves desperately, and they can defeat themselves! Zhang Yun is not afraid!

Because as soon as these three major events were completed, Zhang Yun felt that his war potential was about to explode......

Inside the Chongxiao Palace.

Zhang Yun was pondering alone, relying on these 1.8 million troops to unify the whole country is naturally not impossible, but it is very unfavorable for future expansion wars.

So Zhang Yun wanted to come up with a way, how to find a way to fill the army without expanding the eleventh integrated army......

Because a group army of the first generation in later generations included four divisions and four brigades, plus a little other miscellaneous auxiliary arms, the number of a group army could reach about 80,000 or 90,000.

Although it is said that because the current population cannot be compared with the population of later generations, Zhang Yun feels that the integrated army under his command, even if it is not comparable to the military region of later generations, so how can it catch up with a class A group army in later generations!

If there are eleven integrated legions, the number of each legion can be expanded to about 100,000 people, then one integrated legion can fight a large-scale local war alone.

It's just that today's army system is indeed different from the army system of later generations, after all, the air defense brigade to be formed in later generations is simply burning money to play in today's era......

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Yun felt that it was not a good way to do this behind closed doors, so he decided to go to the factory area to find Tie Niu, and by the way, see how many 203 mm caliber plus howitzers he made?

Only by knowing all the equipment under his command can he better decide how many thousands of troops to expand!

At the test artillery site on the periphery of the factory area, Zhang Yun looked intently at more than a dozen artillerymen, nervously operating the 203 heavy gun......

This is the iron bull on the side, handed over a parameter table, and at the same time kept explaining the specific data of this 203 mm caliber plus howitzer on the side!

Zhang Yun waved his hand, stopped Tie Niu's words, and said: "It's a donkey or a horse, let's take it out for a walk, you will know all kinds of data on the paper, Ben Hou is too lazy to look at it." ”

"Wait a minute, let this heavy cannon fire a few shots, and practice it from far and near, so that Ben Hou can know it in his heart, after all, he doesn't practice fake tricks!"

Tie Niu then shut up, and waited quietly with Zhang Yun for the artillery below to fire.

"Boom!"

Soon the shooting of Zhu Yuan had already been calibrated, and the four of them clamped the cannonballs with cannons, and there was a loud bang, even Zhang Yun and Tie Niu, who were standing fifty meters away, felt that their ears were a little unbearable!

After the smoke cleared, Zhang Yun hurriedly looked at the gun position, and found that the gun body had not moved too much with the help of the thruster, and the gun hoe was just pressed back into two deep holes!

Seeing this, Zhang Yun, who was a little relieved, hurriedly raised his telescope and looked at the target point fifteen kilometers away.

Gradually, Tie Niu found that the corners of Zhang Yun's mouth were getting bigger and bigger, and finally, Zhang Yun laughed.

At this time, Zhang Yun had time to look at the specific parameter table of the 203 mm caliber plus howitzer handed over by Tie Niu just now......

At first glance, he found that the shell weighed nearly 100 kilograms, Zhang Yun couldn't help but nod his head again and again, "It's worthy of a heavy artillery, and a 100-kilogram solid bullet is estimated to be able to kill a few people, right?" What's more, this shell can fly dozens of kilometers at most! ”

When Tie Niu heard Zhang Yun's praise, he couldn't help but smile and said: "In the past three years, the information you gave to your subordinates, Master Hou, is the most difficult to imitate this heavy artillery. ”

After listening to Tie Niu's complaints, Zhang Yun looked back at Tie Niu and wanted to say something, but at this moment, looking at Tie Niu, who was full of wrinkles but smiling, a trace of emotion suddenly flashed in his heart.

I remembered that Tie Niu had not yet gotten married, guarding this huge factory area, and I didn't know how much benefit value I had created, and I couldn't help but be moved: "Tomorrow, Ben Hou must find a room for Tie Niu, a good lady with the right door......

Tie Niu was stunned, didn't this just talk about artillery?
