Liu Daxia is tossing.

This information has long been placed on Xie Hong's case, although he has attached considerable importance to it, but he is not too concerned, with Zeng Jian, a staff officer, many things that Li Dongyang and others can think of, Xie Hong also knows it well, especially for the real surnames of civil officials, he is even clearer than Li Dongyang.

He was not familiar with the history of the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but he knew some at the end of the Ming Dynasty, especially the famous Donglin Party.

Strictly speaking, the Donglin Party is the representative and leader of the Jiangnan scholars, but after the Jiangnan scholars dominated the court, probably because they were too lonely, the Donglin Party split from it.

And in line with the principle of creating opponents without opponents, he pointed the blade at the companions of the old saying, classified them as the Zhejiang Party, and then put the opponent at the mercy of eighteen ways with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

The Zhejiang Party wanted to resist and was not an opponent, and wanted to compromise with the other party and did not accept it, so they were forced to take refuge in the emperor and were assigned to the leadership of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong, so the eunuch party that was famous for later generations was established.

Xie Hong didn't know what the reason was, he was not interested in researching history, but if he regarded it as the surname of the bureaucrats' love of struggle, there would be no grievances in general.

Therefore, as long as you don't cross the bottom line and leave some benefits for the other party, then the other party will not take risks. This principle was originally told to Xie Hong by Zeng Jian, and now, it has been carried forward by Xie Hong and used perfectly.

Of course, Xie Hong also realized that he was in a bit of a hurry about the school. The war in the academic field not only shook the fundamentals of the scholars, but also did not leave any benefit to the other side, did not divide and disintegrate, but gave the other side signs of unity, which is not a good sign.

It's just that Xie Hong can't help it, if it weren't for the Hanlin Academy suddenly jumping out to humiliate himself, he wouldn't have found such a good opportunity, in the final analysis, the main reason why the school opened so smoothly was the court debate with the Hanlin people, if such an opportunity was gently let go, would it still be him Xie Hong?

Therefore, although he was aware of the problem, Xie Hong still did not give up halfway, but remained cautious on the issue of expanding the scale. The contradiction between him and the scholar is absolutely irreconcilable, as long as the other party is not excessively provoked, the school still has to do it, and it must be done for the better.

In addition to the convergence action, Xie Hong is not only passively waiting, corresponding to Liu Daxia's vertical and horizontal cooperation, Xie Hong's method is to strengthen himself as much as possible, the two most important measures, one is to strengthen the training of the baseball team, and the other is to speed up the development of the equipment of the Guards.

Of course, he didn't have the idea of plotting against Liu Daxia, this old man is the most violent, if he can beat him with a stuffy stick or something, let him be sick at home like Xie Qian, Bacheng can beat this momentum.

However, although Liu Daxia is short-tempered, he is not stunned, and now the old man is very careful in and out of the room, and there are dozens of guards with him, so it is impossible to secretly calculate. With the combat power of the fans, it is easy to do it clearly, but when Shangshu is killed on the street, the contradiction may break out immediately, which is really undesirable.

Let the monkey and others monitor each other for a while, but they have not been able to find a chance to start, Xie Hong had to give up this most labor-saving method and started the idea of strengthening himself.

Relatively speaking, among all the sports in later generations, baseball needs to be exercised the most: arm strength is related to hitting the ball, wrist strength is related to pitching, foot strength is related to running speed, catching judgment requires eyesight, technical actions such as sliding base require explosive power, plus all competitive sports will need endurance, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a comprehensive exercise.

The enthusiasm of the young people in Xuanfu is already high, not to mention that most of the exercises, Zhengde is with everyone, although there are only three hundred people in Xiyuan who can always be by his side, but after Xie Hong implemented the so-called transfer system, the personnel of Xiyuan are actually not fixed, but have been in rotation.

The main purpose of this practice is to maintain loyalty and enthusiasm, to be able to train with their favorite emperor, the youth's positive surname has reached the highest point, coupled with the abundant food supply, although the training volume is very large, and the intensity is still increasing, but no one is left behind, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.

There is another purpose of rotating personnel, that is, in order to run in tacit understanding, the rotation is based on the squad, that is, nine people in a baseball team, keep the team unchanged, and let the squads get run-in, this is Xie Hong's idea.

After all, the Guards are most likely to face street battles, rather than fighting in formations on the plains, and small-scale cooperation is the most important, so Xie Hong has formulated such a system to cultivate the tacit understanding between the Guards, and so far, the effect is not bad.

The training cycle is relatively long, and Xie Hong also knows that it can't be achieved overnight, and he doesn't want to hurt these teenagers by helping them to practice, so in addition to training, he started the idea of equipment again.

The stick is also one of the eighteen kinds of weapons, which is a weapon that has relatively low requirements for skill and high requirements for explosiveness and endurance. The training of skills takes a long time, Xie Hong doesn't have so much time to wait, and he can't practice through the invincible spear array in the novel, so the mace has become the standard equipment he expected.

Jiang Bin and these people can't help with the training team, but the border soldiers are very good at this kind of small skill of individual combat, especially the weapon with no technical content such as the mallet. Combined with the skills of baseball, the border soldiers quickly developed some practical training methods, which were then popularized among the Guards.

In addition, for the requirements of weapons, the border troops quickly summed up the main points, that is, on the basis of being able to wield them, they should be as heavy as possible, and the heavier they are, the more powerful they are.

Xie Hong also thinks very much about this, he has seen it in the eyes of Erniu a few times, he has no skills, just one force to drop ten times, and when the head is smashed down, no matter what tricks you have, it is not easy for you to use any tricks.

Fast? Even if you slash at me first, I am injured and my hands are weak, but since the mallet has been picked up, does it matter if my hands are strong or not?

Skillful? That's even more nonsense, unless the agility of the two sides is different to a certain extent, otherwise no matter how clever things are, in the face of a fierce blow, they are just floating clouds.

With Dong Ping's ironmaking technology, making a strong and durable rod with full weight is not a problem at all, only the output makes Xie Hong a little pressured. Fortunately, the conflict did not break out immediately, and Xie Hong was not in a hurry.

The more thought-provoking thing is the long-range weapon. Speaking of this, Xie Hong, the first thing that came to mind as a traverser must be a firearm, in addition to the grenade he expected, he originally fired a firearm, that is, the idea of a musket.

As soon as his idea was proposed, it was immediately rejected by the border soldiers, and everyone said that the firearm was not practical. Of course Xie Hong is not convinced, the musket is a weapon that has been verified by later generations for hundreds of years, it is the most popular individual equipment in the era of hot weapons, and it is the only way to transition from cold weapons to hot weapons, how can it not be practical?

But after actually seeing the effect, Xie Hong was also speechless, at least for now, the musket is really not very practical. It takes at least a minute for a musketeer to shoot from reloading to the last shot; And in this minute, the most powerful archers in the border army, with the skill of continuous arrows, can shoot more than a dozen arrows, do you need to talk about the strength or weakness?

Moreover, judging from the fire gun that Xie Hong bought from the Shenji Battalion, the power of this fire gun is not very strong, and the effective range is only a few dozen steps, well, that is, less than a hundred meters, which is about the same as a bow and arrow with a stone or so, and it really doesn't show much advantage.

It takes longer to train archers than to train musketeers, and in the following era, muskets are king, although Xie Hong also knows these truths, but the limitations of the times and the actual needs of the current let him know that at least for the time being, muskets cannot be counted on.

In fact, it is not that the Ming Dynasty's firearms are backward, even in Europe at the same time, firearms are still in an auxiliary position in land warfare, and it is still cold weapons that determine the outcome of the battle.

However, in naval warfare, firearms were put into play, but even in naval warfare, they mainly relied on cannons, not muskets. This is the case with muskets in this era, and it will not be until a few decades later, when the Age of Discovery enters its peak, that the technology of muskets will be further improved and can really be used in actual combat.

Xie Hong's current needs are more urgent, of course the musket can only be abandoned, and it is difficult to train archers, but there are hundreds of strong archers in the fanzi, and there are no ready-made ones, what kind of musket is there, isn't it painful?

The musket was put away first and let it slowly precipitate the technology, seeing the sharpness of the AK series, Xie Hong really couldn't be very interested in the original musket, and if it was to be applied to actual combat, it would have to wait at least until the breech gun was developed, right? Otherwise, if you go into battle with a musket like this, you will have to die yourself if you don't get hacked to death.

What's more, Xie Hong also has his own ideas about long-range weapons, one of which requires a long research and development cycle after all, and he can't use it for a while, but he is not in a hurry; The other is, of course, the grenade he had in mind when he first conceived baseball.

If you really compare, even in later generations, the power that grenades can exert in street battles is quite large, not to mention in this era. This thing is powerful, easy to use, and ready to use, and it is a necessary weapon for killing people and setting fires.

The most important thing is that the technical content of this thing is not too high, at least within the scope of Xie Hong's current solution.

The prototype of the grenade already existed at this time, and there was a similar one in the equipment of the Shenji Battalion, which was called the Heaven-Shaking Thunder. Of course, the earth-shattering thunder cannot be compared with the grenades of later generations, and the biggest differences are few: first, the volume is relatively large, second, the power is much worse, and the explosion time is not well controlled.

These points are actually related to gunpowder technology, the explosive power of gunpowder is not enough, in order to increase the power, you can only fill more gunpowder, so the volume is very large; The time is delayed by twisting the drug, which makes the explosion time difficult to control.

In terms of power, in addition to the problem of gunpowder, there is also the factor of the shell, the shell is not strong enough, there is no way to release all the explosion force, and the explosion power is naturally small.

Therefore, the Shenji Battalion itself doesn't pay much attention to the earth-shaking thunder, not to mention the power or anything, just the head and weight are already a headache, without trebuchets, who can throw it? The mine envoy is about the same.

On Xie Hong's side, of course, these problems are solved.

Gunpowder technology has Zeng Zheng. Although yellow gunpowder and TNT have not yet been made, the new gunpowder made by this chemical genius has been greatly improved in terms of explosive power and delay surname, and it is completely easy to use in actual combat.

The shell is simpler, the assembly line of the Ordnance Division plus Dong Ping's ironmaking workshop, the shell that is hard enough was quickly developed, especially with Xie Hong's very specific guidance, from the very beginning, he directly copied the grenades of later generations, and there were no detours at all.

Therefore, unlike the wall of the musket, Xie Hong's grenade immediately entered the track of actual combat development once it was developed, and the relevant technologies quickly established standards, as long as they passed the final test, they could enter the process of large-scale production.
