I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, as long as I see a suspect and don't care about it, I will arrest it, as for saying that I have been wronged, it's simple, just let them go after Lin Zhe's inspection is over.

Always they did not dare to take any risks and slack off in this matter.

You know, if there is a place in the empire that has the most people who want Lin Zhe's life, it must be Beiping.

You must know that when the time comes, a few former Qing remnants will randomly appear, and then attack the holy car, although Lin Zhe is unlikely to suffer any actual harm, as long as these former Qing remnants do these things, then the local officials will be 100% unlucky.

For the sake of their official hats, they don't care whether those who are arrested have been wronged or not.

As the supreme ruler of this empire, Lin Zhe naturally didn't know about these details, he just received a report from Zhili Province, saying that Beiping had launched a series of operations before and arrested some of the remnants of the former Qing Dynasty, which was enough to protect the Holy Driver.

Crossing the street, Lin Zhe's car drove straight to the Forbidden City!

As a result, the Forbidden City, which has been vacant for several years, once again ushered in a new owner, and this new owner is Lin Zhe.

When Lin Zhe passed through the palace gate, and then came to the Taihe Palace, and then sat on the dragon chair inside, but after sitting on it, Lin Zhe's first feeling was a little special, that is, this chair was far less comfortable than the dragon chair in the Xinhua Palace.

Then he stood up, tilted his head slightly to the accompanying secretary and said, "Go back and dismantle this chair, follow the chair of Xinhua Hall and build another one to put here!" ”

The narrator's casual secretary was stunned for a moment, and didn't respond for a long time!

There are many things to burn the palace in the previous dynasty. It's not worth mentioning, but the palace doesn't burn. But I just dismantled the dragon chair and made a new one here. It's kind of weird.

But since His Majesty ordered so, even the weirdest things he had to do, and immediately responded in a low voice: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

This may be a little strange for others, but for Lin Zhe, the reason is very simple, this chair is uncomfortable to sit on, but when I think that this chair has been sat by so many Manchu emperors, who knows if any of them have hemorrhoids or something, I feel sick when I think about it.

The Forbidden City and the surrounding royal gardens have now become the private property of the royal family, and the Forbidden City has also become a palace. In the future, Lin Zhe or his descendants of the emperor came to the north to inspect, and they must stay here, this house cannot be demolished and is under construction, but there are still some chairs and daily necessities that should be replaced.

As for the historical value, artistic value, etc., I'm sorry, Lin Zhe has no artistic cells at all, and the artwork made of gold has no value at all, so it is better to melt it and cast it into gold nuggets. It then acts as a gold reserve for the gold standard currency in the future.

Lin Zhe of the huge Forbidden City simply walked around, of course, he did not walk, but sat in a sedan chair, and sometimes simply rode a horse. After all, the huge Forbidden City is too tiring to walk alone, and he has also visited the Forbidden City in his previous life. He wasn't interested in any so-called architectural art or anything like that.

Visiting the Forbidden City today is still a matter of very strong political significance. He's not here to play today, he's here to inspect his loot.

After a little strolling. He just went to the West Garden next door to the Forbidden City to stay.

The reason why I did not stay in the Forbidden City, but chose to live in the South China Sea, this is because the Forbidden City has been vacant for many years, and after occupying this palace, the royal property has basically taken away the valuable gold and silver and some important treasures, most of which were sent back to the China Palace in Nanjing, and became the decorations or treasury of the China Palace, and some gold and silver and the like, except for precious antiques and works of art, most of them were melted on the spot and then accepted by the Royal Bank as a reserve of the Royal Bank.

So don't look at the current Forbidden City on the surface, it is still the same, but in fact, the inside has been emptied, and only some inconsequential things remain.

At the same time, although the royal industry will invest part of the funds to repair the Forbidden City every year, it can only ensure that the main palace will not fall into disrepair and collapse, as for the detailed repair is impossible, so many places in the Forbidden City are overgrown with weeds, and the situation is not much better than the Forbidden City seen after the two palaces returned to Luan.

However, the West Garden, which is separated by a wall, is much better, because although the West Garden covers a large area, it belongs to the royal garden and there are not many buildings.

After receiving many Manchu imperial gardens and a large number of powerful mansions, Nanyuan was divided into a military garrison area for garrisoning troops, and the Forbidden City was emptied to only an empty shelf, and some other royal gardens were mostly removed after some precious antiques, leaving an empty shelf.

Only the West Garden has been preserved intact, and the interior decorations are still as good as new, and the royal family spends a certain amount of time in repairing the West Garden every year, and there are also permanent maintenance personnel.

Therefore, the West Garden is actually the royal palace in the north, the Forbidden City is only a nominal palace, and the other royal gardens are only empty shelves, which have been successively diverted for other purposes, such as school running schools, or living in government agencies, etc., some of which are simply vacant.

After all, the main living place of the royal family is still in Nanjing, and the time to come to Beiping is very small, and it is impossible to live in the Summer Palace like the royal family of the former Qing Dynasty, and then go to the West Garden to live, occasionally go to the South Garden to hunt, and have to Chengde Palace to escape the summer heat in the summer.

But vacant is not a solution, not only does it require a lot of waste of money every year for repairs, if it is not repaired, it will not be a few years to be barren and grassy, and then it will not be a royal garden, but a wilderness.

To this end, the Royal Assets Management Office has come up with many methods, one is to transfer and divert for other purposes, such as leasing or directly selling to the local government and schools, used as government offices or school land, but this aspect can not be digested much, because today's Beiping has been politically hollowed, there are only a few Beiping prefects and military institutions, there are few administrative institutions at all.

Moreover, there are not only royal gardens in Beiping, but also a large number of former Qing government yamen buildings and mansions of magnates.

The transfer to the government and schools is only a small part, and the main solution for the rest is to open it directly and become a public tour of the garden or museum, or simply abolish the garden and reclaim it as farmland, which was developed one after another in the late Qing Dynasty, and then developed into farmland.

However, Lin Zhe didn't care much about these things, and the headache was the people from the Royal Assets Management Office.

After staying in Xiyuan, according to the custom, Lin Zhe still held a royal dinner, banqueting some local military and political dignitaries and some businessmen and gentry.

The next two days were spent inspecting the local troops!

In order to welcome Lin Zheshi's inspection, the local military held a large-scale exercise, which was held in Nanyuan, and tens of thousands of troops participated in the exercise, including infantry, artillery, cavalry, engineering, baggage, and most other army arms.

The mode of exercise is not the line combat of the past, but the tactics of skirmishers.

When Lin Zhe saw the infantry in the exercise unit attacking in a loose straggler formation after the preliminary artillery preparations, he seemed to see the scene of World War I in the movie.

The only difference is that today's exercise troops are not equipped with machine guns, and the artillery is not as powerful as it was on the Western Front in World War I.

But on the whole, it has revealed some special references to the modern army.

After watching the exercise, Lin Zhe turned his head to Shen Chazhuo, the deputy director of the Ordnance Department on the side, and said, "How is the machine gun that you made some time ago, when will it be able to be made!" ”

Shen Chazhuo, deputy director of the Ordnance Department on the side, heard Lin Zhe's sudden question, although he didn't know why Lin Zhe suddenly asked this, but as the deputy director of the Ordnance Department, he was mainly responsible for the research and development of new equipment, and he had a good understanding of the research and development progress of various new equipment in the Ordnance Department.

Immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, we have been bidding for the research and development of machine guns since last year, and the three major domestic weapons companies have participated in the research and development work, for which we have awarded preliminary research and development contracts to the three major weapons companies, but so far, the research and development work has not been completed, and the three major weapons companies have only put forward some preliminary research and ideas!" ”

"Among them, the Northern Arms Company proposed the design of a multi-barreled revolver-cranked machine gun, and purchased a licensed patent for the American Gatling machine gun, but they reported that there are still great problems with the reliability of the machine gun, and the company is currently improving the original design in order to improve reliability and meet the standards that can be serviced.

The Royal Arms Company put forward the idea of a gas-guided automatic machine gun, but at present they have not yet completed the original design, and after evaluating the plan, our colleagues in the Ordnance Department believe that the technical difficulty is too high, and it is difficult to solve it with the current basic technical capabilities in China, and even foreign guns are difficult to manufacture! ”

Huguang Weapons Company proposed a funnel manual machine gun program, which also appeared in the American Civil War, characterized by only one barrel, using funnel type ammunition, the theoretical rate of fire can reach more than 100 points per minute, and the theoretical firepower lasts for a very long time, but the gun also has many problems, the barrel is overheated, the structure is fragile, etc., at present, Huguang Weapons Company is improving the design, in order to complete the design of the sample gun in the shortest possible time and submit. Our Ordnance Department has maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards this plan for the time being, and whether or not to purchase it depends on whether the Huguang Arms Company can improve it! ”

"If we only look at the multi-barreled hand-cranked machine guns of the Northern Arms Corporation, it is expected that we will be able to test a small number of equipment next year, and after testing and improvement, it is expected to be in service in batches within three years!"
