Chapter Ninety-Two: The First Examination
The recitals of Gongzhou Mansion and Yanwangfu were sent to the palace successively, causing a storm in the court. Yanwangfu tried his best to exaggerate the local achievements, what is not afraid of hardships and does not sleep for many days, the father and child are sick, the daughter-in-law can not go home after giving birth, some of the errand soldiers are too tired to pass out on the job, bravely capture the gangsters and do not care about themselves, the prefect Chen Tang who guides the investigation work is even more tired and vomits three liters of blood, of course, there are a lot of pen and ink used for the thieves???
Zhao Ta was not stingy at all this time, and wrote everything that came to mind. The people who watched the concert all sighed, the prince is a big fate, it is simply a tiger's mouth, and the Gongzhou Mansion is of course also indispensable, it can be publicized and commended as an advanced model, and if you don't give priority to the promotion and salary increase, you will be sorry for your conscience.
"Cai Xiang, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Two pieces of music were placed on the table, several bigwigs from the three provinces gathered to discuss how to deal with this matter, and Yu Shen, the servant of the door, spoke first, and after Lao Cai was restored, he and Xue Ang, who was honored as the right minister of Shangshu, were still in power, of course, they had to listen to the opinions of the leaders first.
"Governor Chen has been diligent in Gongzhou for many years, and now he has solved this big case, and the right attendant of the Criminal Department is vacant, I think he can be transferred to Beijing!" Cai Jing stroked his beard and said unhurriedly.
"Okay, the Criminal Department is the central place, and now thieves are rampant, and such an operator is needed, Cai Xiang is discerning!" Liu Hao, the head of the household, immediately agreed, and the boss said okay, why didn't he, who was the younger brother, cheer up.
"I think this matter still needs to be discussed, there is such a huge thief in Gongzhou, and he actually tried to kidnap the prince, which shows that the place is not quiet, and the tiger is a problem, Chen Tang cannot escape the blame, and he should be severely punished!" He Zhizhong turned out to be Shangshu Youcheng, after Cai Jing was restored, he was still Shangshu Youcheng, and now he is faintly excluded and has the power to monopolize power, He Zhizhong is angry, Lao Tzu carried you a sedan chair for a long time, you don't say hard work, but also unload the mill and kill the donkey, I can't help but stand up and give Cai Jing some eye medicine.
"He Youcheng, this is a bad word! It is clear in the recital that this thief is a rogue who wandered through the Gyeonggi area, and ran to the territory of Gongzhou to commit crimes, how could the board hit the ass of Governor Chen? "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is another cadre of Cai Jing, and now the 'insider' dares to contradict Cai Xiang, he doesn't need to jump out immediately to argue with him.
"Yes, He Youcheng's words are chilling, such a disposition, who is willing to contribute to the court and be loyal to the saint?" Xue Ang sneered and said, I said that you don't want to do it, I'm still waiting, you're so old, get out of here early, it's an eyesore.
How could He Zhizhong show weakness, the old man took the case and resolutely fought against their unhealthy tendencies, and the room was full of quarrels. "Everyone, don't fight anymore, whether Chen Tang goes or stays, and the Holy Lord has to decide, Prince Yan has been in danger many times, should he mobilize the forbidden army to protect him!" Zheng Juzhong, who knew the Privy Council, couldn't listen anymore and interrupted them.
"Damn, I really lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds, Chen Tang is not a fart compared with Prince Yan, if you don't solve this problem first, it is still a problem whether Chen Tang, the prefect, can do it!" Cai Jing scolded secretly in his heart, just thinking about giving He Zhizhong, the old man, a little color, and forgetting about this important matter, "Gaodu commander, the forbidden army is under your jurisdiction, whether it is appropriate to send troops is up to you to make an idea!" ”
"Old slippery head, knowing that this matter is not easy to handle, push it to me." Gao Yu, who was dozing off, was named, and scolded in his heart, but he couldn't help but express his opinion, he adjusted his expression and said: "Hehe, although the forbidden army is under my command, but the royal guards have always been in charge of the palace, and I think you all know the difficulties!" "Gao Yu also came to push 625, is the forbidden army so easy to send, and Lao Tzu is not under your control.
"Well, this matter is very important, and we will make a decision after the Ming Sheng!" Cai Jing looked at the attitudes of several people, and understood that the team was not united, and it had to be rectified, and the old slippery head knew that this matter was difficult to handle today, so he should first find someone to probe the tone in the palace, and then moved on to the next topic, "The saint has a sense of the world's wind and is declining, and thinks that the world is thin and people's hearts are not ancient, the fundamental reason is that the etiquette is not prosperous, and he is ready to restore the system of "Zhou Guan", I don't know what you think?" ”
Cai Jing's words attracted everyone at once, if the old system is restored, not only the Tai Lieutenant, but also the Dazai's majesty, and then get the title of Tai Shi and Tai Fu, then the salary will definitely be doubled, this is a matter of personal interests, how can you disagree, several people immediately unbuttoned their pants and urinated into a pot, and the opinions of the ruling people have reached an unprecedented unity. ,
??????
Zhao Ta now has no heart to ponder the disputes between several bigwigs in the DPRK and China, and he is now wholeheartedly devoted to the research of new weapons. Now he is copying the American Christopher. The bincy rifle invented by Spencer is the world's first practical bead rifle (another version is the Henry bead rifle).
When the trigger retainer is pulled, the bolt is pulled back to open the chamber and pull out the empty cartridge case, while the spring in the butt automatically pushes the next bullet out of the supply tube; When the retainer is pulled, the locking machine advances, pushes the bullet into the chamber and locks the chamber at the same time. Shooting actions: pull down the hammer, aim, pull the trigger, pull down the trigger retain, pull the retainer, pull off the hammer, aim... When loading, the supply barrel is removed from the rear of the butt, which is commonly known as a lever gun. The parts of the Spencer gun are easy to manufacture and seem to have a complex structure, but in fact there are not many parts, and it is not impossible to break through with the current technology.
Now there was a conundrum that had to be solved, and this gun fired a .52 caliber metal cartridge with edge-fire rifle rounds. The first problem is to make a cartridge case first, with the cartridge case, the warhead, propellant and fire cap are protected by the cartridge case, one is that ordinary collision will not cause misfire; Another advantage is that most of the slag of the propellant will settle in the cartridge case, and will not contact with the chamber, and the withdrawal of the cartridge case is equivalent to automatically cleaning the chamber; With another ammunition in one, there is no need to put a fire cap on the fire door when shooting.
There are advantages and difficulties, the use of all-metal cartridge shells is good, not only to solve the problem of moisture, but also when firing, the brass cartridge case expands, which can lock the rear of the chamber, but also solve the problem of air leakage of breech guns. This made Zhao Ta entangled for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of all-metal cartridge shells, one is because of process problems, the other is the economic account, copper in the Song Dynasty is a state-controlled material, not allowed to be bought and sold casually, exported, most of them are used to make coins, very scarce, of course, the price will not be cheap, and once the fight starts, the bullet consumption is the sky, Zhao Ta is afraid that no matter how rich he is, he will go bankrupt. After careful consideration, he decided to use semi-metal cartridge shells, the primer part is made of copper, and the main body of the cartridge case containing the propellant is made of a special paper tube, which can not only partially solve the problem of locking, but also greatly reduce the manufacturing cost.
The other is the issue of primers. To use a separate primer for central firing, mounted in the center of the bottom of the cartridge case, it can withstand high chamber pressure and can also be reloaded, the problem is that he can't make smokeless gunpowder now, even if he can't enjoy the gun he makes now, this is undoubtedly abandoned; Another scheme is to use the rim fire of the cartridge case, this edge firing method does not need to use a separate primer, the initiating charge is packed around the inner bottom edge of the cartridge case, and the firing pin can hit any part of the bottom edge of the cartridge case to initiate the explosive charge and detonate the projectile. The disadvantage is that the bottom edge of the cartridge case should be made very thin with this firing method, and a large charge cannot be used, and it cannot be reloaded, and the cost performance is not good.
There is no choice for this, only to use the edge of the fire, but the gunpowder he is using now is red phosphorus, this sensitivity is relatively high, he doesn't want the bullet to fall on the ground will be fired, and he doesn't want the bullet to be loaded in the cartridge barrel to automatically release the gun, but he can't do thunder mercury, can only find a way to reduce the sensitivity, after dozens of tests, finally found the right formula, solved this problem, and made a batch of bullets with some efforts, which are all handmade, not only to ensure that the charge is appropriate, but also not to cause explosion, can toss Zhao Ta enough, it can really be said that he is physically and mentally tired, which caused him to use the nursing home to relieve pressure at night.
Now it has entered June, Zhao Ta got up early in the morning and asked the two small yellow doors to carry out two large boxes, and let them be sent to the original Chen Tang's manor, now everyone calls it Beifu, which is considered the prince's 'hotel', Zhao Ta said hello to Huang Jingchen, saying that he would conduct a trial test and try to make several new fireworks. Huang Jingchen knew that the prince of Lu Dao was actually doing some strange things, but he could make a lot of money, so of course he agreed, but he just told him to be careful, and he didn't ask too much.
There is no one living in Beifu, and now only five or six people are left to watch the yard and be responsible for cleaning and cleaning, Zhao Ta's sudden arrival startled a few people, and they all ran to wait, Zhao Ta didn't say anything, just ordered them to clean up a compound in the backyard, set up a few thick planks, and let them avoid it. Two small yellow doors who came with them guarded the door, telling them that no one was allowed to enter the hospital without their own orders, both of them were old people, knowing the temper of the prince, and understanding that the prince was going to 'mess around', at this time, if anyone did not run into him with long eyes, it would be looking for death, not only to be scolded, but also to deduct money if it was serious, and not allowed to eat meat for a month??? Anyway, he has a way to make you uncomfortable to death, but it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones!
Zhao Ta saw that there were no more idlers and other people in the yard, so he opened the box, took out a pair of brackets for gun testing from inside, found a suitable position to fix it, took out a gun from the box, pulled the trigger retainer, and fired two shots in the air, and then carefully took out a cartridge, where six bullets had been pressed, and the bottom of the cartridge was equipped with a spring, which could push the bullets into the chamber in turn, and its function was the same as that of the magazine of modern firearms.
Fix the gun firmly on the gun mount, Zhao Ta pulled the retainer to push a bullet into the chamber of the gun, because it was the first 'online test', he still used the old method, people hid, and used a rope to control the trigger, he didn't want to be a victim, "Damn, God, if you want Lao Tzu to live well, don't play with me!" He muttered a few words and pulled the trigger???
(The above description of firearms, Woxin added his own subjective conjecture, although he wanted to make it as reasonable as possible, but Woxin also knew that some things are not good to think about, unreasonable, please forgive me, don't take it seriously!! )
