86_86695 ago, because the living and working environment was relatively simple, Wang Shuhui said to Confucius, "Take from it, get it; Take from it, get it from below; If you take it from below, you will get nothing", there is always a little disapproval in my heart.

However, since the realization of the crossing, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, after he began to carry out all-round construction work, Wang Shuhui felt that this sentence "take from it, get it; Take from it, get it from below; If you take what is below, you will get nothing", which is very reasonable.

Let's take the recent results of the Renaissance Society's Bureau of Technology and Research. What Wang Shuhui wanted was the Krupp 75-mm mountain gun produced by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in 1905. However, after nearly a year, the finalized products made by the Ordnance Engineering of the Technology Research Bureau were the Grusen 37 mm and 57 mm mountain guns.

Wang Shuhui originally wanted TNT explosives, but the products made by the Chemical Industry of the Process Research Bureau were Wang Shuhui's least favorite Shimose gunpowder.

This matter really can't develop according to Wang Shuhui's ideas at all. After all, Wang Shuhui had provided all the samples, numbers and drawings of all the products to the Bureau of Process Research, and he had also provided them with a large number of local methods for producing those products. Unexpectedly, those transient products that were originally in Wang Shuhui's impression were made out by the Process Research Bureau in the form of results.

Of course, this process is also quite tragic. The Chemical Research Institute of the Bureau of Technology Research in order to make this Shimose gunpowder that looks the simplest. A third of the researchers and half of the workers were lost. Because picric acid is too evil. Therefore, the entire real yàn room and office building of the chemical industry were all burned down in the process of real yàn. (The Institute of Chemical Engineering of the Bureau of Process Research is an independent unit located on the edge of the Yangtze River)

However, although Shimose gunpowder was copied, the entire process of producing it was completely determined. However, Wang Shuhui is not ready to install that thing at present. Now the artillery of the three companies trained in advance by the Baath Army is barely even the basic operation of the artillery. Once a cannonball filled with Shimose gunpowder is used, it is a big question who will die in the end.

When Wang Shuhui saw the two Grusen guns, he really felt a little emotional. When I built my own steel plant, I went to the level of Hanyang Iron Works. Unexpectedly, the Process Research Bureau came up with these two mature products of the Hanyang Arsenal. I can't help but say that this is a bit of a coincidence.

Compared with the Krupp 75-mm mountain gun, the Grussen 37-mm and 57-mm mountain guns, the technical difficulty of these two small-caliber erection guns is indeed much lower. And in fact, even without a liquid-spring brake, the rate of fire of the Grusen 37-mm and 57-mm mountain guns was not low. The receding type has a rate of fire of more than 15 rounds, and the grenade can be cast with pig iron (a product of the Hanyang Arsenal) and charged with black powder. It can be said that these two goods are simply the perfect infantry guns for the traverser.

However, they still have a lot of problems. In the process of carrying out the real yàn, one of the guns showed a crack in the bolt. And there were also several problems with pulling the firing tube. There was a case where a cannon appeared twice in a row, and after pulling the fire tube, the cannon did not fire.

Especially the problem of artillery shells, Wang Shuhui felt that it was a little troublesome. Because with the current level of craftsmanship of the Renaissance Society, there are many problems in processing the whole bullet. The solution that ITEC came up with was the method of kit launching.

To be honest, Wang Shuhui felt very funny when he looked at such two small-caliber cannons, which were actually fired with a medicine bag. But after laughing, he scratched his head a little. Not for any other reason, the use of kits for launching, which inevitably increases the pressure on logistics.

Even in Wang Shuhui's view, there are a lot of problems with these two types of artillery. However, it took less than a year for the Process Research Bureau to come up with this kind of molding product, although the output is relatively low, but it is the most in line with the current level of the industrial system of the Fuxing Association, which makes Wang Shuhui more happy.

Although this is nothing more than copycat work with drawings, numbers, and real objects. However, it's not that easy either. You know, even if the Bureau of Technology Research gathers tens of thousands of people in the entire Renaissance Association, the smartest, the best young people with the best results in mathematics, physics and chemistry and the most mature workers. But where is their knowledge base? Even if Wang Shuhui specially opened a small stove for them, they were at most about the knowledge level of the second year of junior high school.

Although Wang Shuhui was not very satisfied, he still rewarded the researchers and front-line workers of the Process Research Bureau on the one hand. All engineering participants in the process bureau, steel mills and machinery factories were given a first-class salary and a first-class title. On the other hand, Wang Shuhui specially transferred manpower to set up an artillery factory.

The Bureau of Process Research has summarized and summarized the entire artillery production process. Later, the artillery factory gradually stabilized the production of artillery in accordance with the technological process.

At the beginning, Wang Shuhui, who was going to Songzi County to carry out drought relief and disaster relief work, did not intend to bring the artillery that seemed to be cumbersome at present. However, when he thought of the landlords' compounds in the countryside, Wang Shuhui still decided to take a company of artillery, three Fuxing Type 1 guns (Grusen 37 mm mountain guns) and two Fuxing Type 2 guns (Grusen 57 mm mountain guns) to set off together (it took half a year of hard work to produce a total of five guns of each type).

Wang Shuhui went to Songzi County this time, and his goal was very clear. He is preparing to open up a second base area. At present, the work in Zhijiang County has reached a bottleneck stage. If you want to make great progress, what you need is not Wang Shuhui's urging there, but the long-term accumulation of the system to realize the process from quantitative change to qualitative change.

What Wang Shuhui wanted to do was to take advantage of the drought in the Yangtze River section of Jingzhou to expand his base areas. He wants to replicate the situation in Zhijiang County in Songzi County.

Before leaving, Wang Shuhui first issued an order to each factory, asking each factory to prepare a set of corresponding manpower. After that, he gave orders to the machinery processing factories to produce the production equipment needed by steel mills, cement factories and other enterprises.

Of course, Wang Shuhui doesn't expect the gadgets they produce to be compared with the high-end goods he brought back from modern society. There are certain quality and specification gaps that are allowed. At least for now, it seems that the small blast furnace for ironmaking is produced by a mechanical processing plant.

Wang Shuhui asked all departments of the Revival Association to begin to prepare a set of corresponding personnel. He himself drew two new battalions and an artillery company from the Ba'ath Army, which had just completed training. After nearly 10 days of preparation and bringing the corresponding supplies, the troops began to set out from Fuxing Town and march towards Songzi County.

Wang Shuhui's confidence is relatively sufficient. Because of the evolution of the space-time gate, he already has Doraemon-like abilities. The space-time gate can now be deployed between two space-time at random according to Wang Shuhui's requirements. Therefore, in terms of materials, Wang Shuhui does not have much pressure.

However, even so, in order to meet the needs of disaster relief in the early stage, the troops still carried a large amount of baggage.

The matter of marching, especially leading recruits on long-distance marches, is a real headache.

The so-called recruits refer to the newly recruited soldiers of the Renaissance Army who have just completed three months of recruit training. This time, the soldiers of the 9th and 10th Battalions of the Guangfu Army led by Wang Shuhui were the victims of the famine in the Huaibei area absorbed by the Fuxing Society, and some of the victims in the Lingbi and Huangpu areas due to the breach of the Yellow River.

Because the soldiers of the two battalions were all from Anhui, they were also privately called the Huai Barracks within the Fuxing Army.

Wang Shuhui does not speak the Anhui dialect. However, because Huaibei, Lingbi and Huangpu all belong to the northern Anhui region, they all speak the official dialect of the Central Plains. Therefore, although there are also many communication barriers, because they have been in the purification camp and training camp for half a year, and they have also stayed in the recruit camp for nearly half a year, they have been studying and living in Mandarin for nearly a year, which makes their Mandarin okay. At least Wang Shuhui can understand what they are saying.

Wang Shuhui personally felt that these Anhui soldiers were the most hard-working among the refugees he accepted. In fact, if you think about it, you should be able to understand that in 1621 there was a famine in Huaibei, and in 1622, the famine was not over, and it was still the Lingbi and Huangpu areas around Huaibei that suffered the Yellow River breach. People who can survive two disasters in a row that they simply cannot resist will have a very real view of life.

Therefore, when Wang Shuhui was teaching this batch of recruits (Wang Shuhui had to attend the ideological and political courses, cultural classes and military training in the first month of each batch of recruits), he found that this batch of recruits were the ones who studied the hardest, had the best grades, and had the best training results among the recruits he had led. That's why he didn't bring other veterans, but two battalions that had just finished their recruit training not long ago.

From the time Wang Shuhui heard the news that the cannon of the rear team was trapped in the pit, to the time he rode to the accident location, the cannon had been dragged out by the soldiers.

Wang Shuhui looked at the two mules that had been re-mounted on the gun cart, and couldn't help scratching his head. In his impression, the Hubei region is not a very southern zone. However, there is still a shortage of livestock in the region. As military livestock, in order to ensure the speed of the march, the Revival Army could not use oxen to pull artillery wagons.

He looked up at the back of the procession, and the four-wheeled wagons that carried the baggage were also mules.

At seven o'clock in the morning, he set off from Fuxing Town, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Shuhui led the team to Jiangbei Industrial Zone.

In fact, Fuxing Town and Jiangbei Industrial Zone have direct cement roads. However, out of consideration for exercising the team's ability to march long distances, Wang Shuhui led everyone to walk over a long dirt road.

In the whole team, in addition to soldiers, mules, horses and vehicles, there were about two hundred or so wolfdogs. As soon as the troops entered the Jiangbei Industrial Zone, the wolf dogs began to bark because of the loud noise in the factory.

After Wang Shuhui discovered this, he immediately ordered the troops to bypass the industrial zone and advance directly to the Jiangbei Village wharf.

Jiangbei Wharf may be the only all-cement wharf in China at present. Located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Jiangbei Wharf is built in a relatively gentle harbor on the Yangtze River waterway. The whole wharf has a total of ten cement structures and a ferry head with a length of about 100 meters. The first three planks were made of concrete and stone, and the next seven were made of reinforced concrete.

At present, the entire Jiangbei wharf can accommodate 20 large ships to dock at the same time. On each boardwalk, a rail-mounted steel steam-powered jib crane is installed. When Wang Shuhui led the team to the wharf, it was just in time for the last batch of ships to leave the port today.

At present, one-third of the workers at the Jiangbei wharf are the latest batch of production soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps of the Fuxing Association. A third of the dock workers are migrant workers from the surrounding areas of Zhijiang County. They will not be able to enjoy the high-yielding seeds provided by the Fuxing Association to the villagers in the base villages, and the relatively high grain purchase prices of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the villages. The last one-third of the dock workers were stationed at the Jiangbei wharf by the Zhijiang Business Alliance.

The merchants of the Zhijiang Business Alliance all know that the production and construction troops of the Fuxing Association are mainly responsible for the loading and unloading tasks of the Jiangbei Industrial Zone. Migrant workers, on the other hand, rely entirely on their bodies, and the loading and unloading speed is too slow. Therefore, they had to organize the displaced people and train dock workers who could use their own small wooden loading and unloading machinery (produced by the Fuxing Society).

After arriving at the Jiangbei wharf station, the soldiers of the two battalions immediately sent scouts to reconnoiter the surrounding situation. After that, the soldiers began to set up camps under the command of officers of all ranks. Tents were erected, barbed wire fences were pulled, patrols and wolfdogs were arranged, and several watchtowers with gas searchlights were quickly erected.

In fact, a battalion of security forces has always been stationed in the Jiangbei Industrial Zone. Whether it is in the direction of the river or the land, the Jiangbei Industrial Zone has set up strict defense measures. The troops would not have had to do this. However, in order to seize a moment to train the team, Wang Shuhui still ordered the troops to camp according to the requirements of the field garrison.

With an advanced industrial base, the defense of the Ba'ath Army camp was very simple and effective. After a layer of wall barbed wire, pull a ring of barbed wire and it is OK. Double-layered barbed wire, a team of wolfdogs patrolling non-stop, plus gas searchlights on watchtowers.

Once those who want to explore the camp in the dark are discovered, after being baptized with grenades and platoon guns, they are waiting not only with soldiers' bayonets, but also with the bloody mouths of wolfdogs.

After setting up the tent with the soldiers, Wang Shuhui immediately met with the shipyard cadres who were responsible for arranging the work of crossing the river. Because Songzi County and Zhijiang County are separated by the Yangtze River, Wang Shuhui wanted to ask the person in charge of the shipyard if it was possible to directly dock the ship near the county seat of Songzi County. Because the county seat of Songzi is next to a tributary of the Yangtze River that flows into Songzi.

The person in charge of the shipping office of the Jiangbei Shipyard, who met with Wang Shuhui, clearly told Wang Shuhui that although the recent drought situation is relatively severe, and the water level of the Yangtze River and its tributaries has dropped significantly, as long as a small steamer tugboat is used, it can sail directly to Songzi County.

Hearing the news, Wang Shuhui was very happy. But at the same time, he was a little confused. Judging from the fact that tugboats can sail directly, the drought situation in Songzi County should not be so severe. Why is it that the situation reported by the intelligence department is a situation of thousands of miles of red land and displaced people? After the person in charge of the shipping office left, Wang Shuhui took out a satellite map from modern society and began to look at it carefully.

Liu Yangmin, who is just 23 years old this year, has a severe headache. Speaking of which, Liu Yangmin can also be regarded as a legendary scholar-style figure. Don't look at him as just a third-class jinshi, but he was admitted to the Xiucai fame at the age of sixteen. In the following years, he continued to enter the department, and finally last year, when he was twenty-two years old, Liu Yangmin was admitted to the third-class jinshi fame.

Liu Yangmin is a native of Boye County, Baoding Prefecture, Beizhili. Although in a sense, the reason why he was able to obtain the Jinshi merit so early has a lot to do with the invincible literary style and relatively weak competitiveness of the entire Beizhili region, but his imperial examination results also reflect his personal ability, which is also relatively outstanding.

Liu Yangmin originally didn't want to go to Huguang, the barbarian land in his mind. However, according to the imperial court system, if you are admitted to the Jinshi, you must hold an official position according to the assignment of the ministry. Therefore, with a million points of reluctance, the young Liu Yangmin was appointed as the magistrate of Songzi County by the Ministry of Officials last year.

From the bottom of his heart, Liu Yangmin was very reluctant to go all the way to Huguang to be such a dirty little official (Liu Yangmin said to himself). However, when he arrived in the local area, he found that he was unwilling to come, but the group of filthy officials in Songzi County were even more unwilling to come to his post. After sorting out the situation a little, he found that the government affairs of the entire Songzi County had been completely controlled by the local gentry.

Beginning in July last year, the young and vigorous Liu Yangmin waged an arduous struggle against the officials who controlled the county government and the local gentry behind them. Because of the non-cooperation of the gentry, less than half of the autumn tax in Songzi County last year was collected. However, the gentry who controlled the right to collect taxes were in the process of collecting taxes year after year, filling their pockets and wantonly looting, which almost provoked a popular uprising last year.

Fortunately, the masters and family members brought by Liu Yangmin from his hometown were more powerful, and in more than half a year of struggle, Liu Yangmin finally won a phased victory in the struggle with the local gentry. Basically, the power of the county government was taken back into his own hands. However, before Liu Yangmin could take further action to combat the local gentry forces, a drought suddenly came.

This part of Songzi County was not originally prone to drought. You must know that the topography of Songzi County has a saying that there are six mountains, one water and three fields. This shows that, except for hilly and mountainous areas that are not suitable for farming, pine trees, which are abundant in surface water resources, are generally not affected by drought.

But I don't know what's going on, this drought came to Songzi County so suddenly
