The tenet of Taoism is "abandoning wisdom from foreign things", "forgetting the rich and elegant", "not caring for the poor, not honoring the attainment, not caring about ruining, and not pleasing to reputation" which is not in line with the world. However, under the centralized monarchy, the people who are not subject to the world cannot be tolerated, and they must serve politics in order to have the soil for their survival.

As a result, the people of the past generations had to make a compromise, which was to recognize and abide by the norms of etiquette and religion, and to create the theory of "the power of the monarch is bestowed by heaven", emphasizing that the power of the monarch does not belong to him personally, and he has no right to cede to others. The change of dynasties in history is the result of the transfer of the mandate of heaven, and it is the will of heaven that plays a decisive role, therefore, the monarch should "do things" according to the will of heaven, and auspicious disasters are the response of the divine heaven to the monarch's satisfaction with the government. In order to achieve the established political order, establish the authority of the monarch, achieve the purpose of being able to survive in the world, and obtain space for survival!

Zhao Yi originally wanted to use etiquette to educate the people, but after tossing for more than half a year, he had to terminate because he disturbed the people too much, and the gains outweighed the losses. This incident greatly stimulated him, and he felt that he had no face to see people, and planned to exert himself to regain his strength and rectify the dynasty. This immediately aroused the worries of several ruling parties in the court, if the emperor was in charge, they would have to stand aside, and if they did too much bad things, they were afraid of bumping into ghosts. After a few guys discussed, they had to find something for the emperor to do.

Several buddies in power and the inner court immediately joined forces to fool the emperor and put forward a new rationalization proposal: I hope that the emperor will follow the national policy of Emperor Zhenzong, the method of Shinto teaching, use Taoist teachings to teach the people, and establish a peaceful and prosperous world, and a royal paradise!

This suggestion is a long drought and nectar for Zhao Jie, and it is scratching his itch, because he often brags to the ministers, when he was still the king of Duan, he had sleepwalked in Taixu, and sat in the same hall with Taishang Laojun to discuss, and when he parted after the last time, Laojun patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "The earth is going to be destroyed, you have to save all mankind, I will teach revival to send you a body!" Since then, Zhao Wei often went to see Sanqing Zun God in his dreams, and Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Taishang Laojun, and played chess with him, as if he was a disciple of the supreme leader of Taoism, which of course did not rule out that he wanted to improve his status among the princes through this. But at this time, he has only just reached the initial stage of "faith", and there is still a little gap from superstition.

However, with the foundation, things will be easier Cai Jing and others brainwashed the emperor with internal and external attacks, and at the same time launched the door to find the "true god 1, so that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Qiang Yuanming, and the servant Qing Wang Yi recommended Wang Laozhi, he is "proficient, the magic of the underworld can make the living and the undead communicate, and can invite the gods to go down to earth, and a palace secret word has achieved his prestige and suppressed the emperor." With the unremitting efforts of these people, the emperor finally entered the temple of God step by step.

Ordinary people go crazy is just to smash the basin and smash the bowl to beat the wife, the big deal is to jump off the building * to find the "truth" If the king of a country gets in, the matter will be big, first the sacrifice to the heavens saw the gods of the heavenly palace, and immediately built a large construction to welcome the truth, and personally wrote a report to the Quartet. In order to complete God's entrustment to promote Taoism, Zhao Jie personally issued an edict to let the Taoist scholars enter the state and county schools for further study, and the learning content is based on the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Tao Te Ching" as the big scriptures, and the "Zhuangzi" and "Liezi" are the small scriptures.

Besides, Zhao Jie came to Linghuo Palace to summon Wang Laozhi and asked him for guidance. Wang Laozhi still does not change his dress of cloth and linen shoes, and lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he still retains the style of a master outside the world, and he has not been contaminated by the world, but his name is very famous, and the emperor gave Mr. Dongwei.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, what's the matter with the Holy Recruiting Path?" Wang Laozhi preached the first word.

"Sir, the official family has been troubled by family affairs recently, and I would like to ask Mr. for some advice!" Tong Guan was very sensible and sent fragrant tea and asked for the emperor.

"Please!" Wang Laozhi led the way.

"A few years ago, the second prince fell into the water in the palace and died, but it happened that the comet was in the sky, and he came back to life, and there were rumors in the palace that the second prince was possessed by a fierce spirit, which hindered everyone in the palace. It has been many years since the saint arranged for him to go to Xiangyi for maintenance, and the saint thinks about it very earnestly and wants to call him back to Beijing. Tong Guan asked.

"Excuse me, birthday!" Wang Laozhi said, Tong Guan hurriedly told him. Seeing that Wang Laozhi had already settled down, his eyes were slightly open, and he suddenly opened his eyes and said urgently: "Devour... The saint is still quickly summoned to return to Beijing, I entered the heavenly palace in the underworld, visited the immortals, only to find out that it has a fairy fate, that day the second prince was killed by a traitor, the emperor of heaven for his injustice Jin Xian rescued, but because of the fool's words, was expelled from Beijing for several years, was left out of the cold, the emperor was angry, about to descend disaster! “,

"Ahh Tengu Devouring the Sun......"

On a sunny morning in summer, a team of royal guards surrounded this strict carriage galloped out of Beifu and went straight to the field training field. The rest of the people untied the tarpaulin on the carriage, and a swarthy guy revealed his true face cannon, and under the command of the prince, a group of people quickly cleared a clearing, dug a deep ditch behind five zhang, piled up sandbags, and built an improvised bunker.

"It's going to be real today, I hope it can be a hit, and it won't explode!". Zhao Jing touched his masterpiece and prayed. This cannon is a kind of imitation of the modern West Franc machine artillery small falcon gun, the caliber is two inches, the length of the cannon is five feet six inches, the total weight is 400 catties, the firing angle is minus 20 to 45 degrees, the muzzle rotation angle is 60 degrees, the effective firing range is unknown, and it remains to be tested.

This gun has sights, has gun lugs on both sides, the gun body wall is thicker, all fine iron is forged without using the traditional casting method, this is because the casting process is not mature, it is difficult to ensure the quality of defects such as generating pores, and there are small claw marks or other uneven places on the inner surface of the gun body, then the phenomenon of gas leakage will occur when firing, resulting in the continuous decline of ballistic performance in the artillery, the reduction of the maximum firing range, the increase in dispersion and area, and the phenomenon of close bullets, early explosions, and even explosions. The forging method can reduce the defects of the fine iron through the processes of plate making, rolling and combining, and can also pre-process the gun chamber, which can effectively prevent the explosion of the chamber and reduce the weight of the gun body.

The Franc cannon is equipped with a pre-stocked ammunition that does not need to be temporarily reloaded, which can speed up the firing. The sub-gun is actually a kind of gun barrel that is a little smaller than the "mother gun", and together with the mother gun body barrel, it forms multiple gun barrels. As an inner heavy barrel, the sub-gun can be removed from or installed at any time, so that the ammunition can be loaded in advance to play the role of an iron medicine bag, and the thickness of the body barrel of the mother gun can be reduced without exploding.

In addition, this kind of cannon also has the advantage of fast heat dissipation, because the rear gun is connected to the front and back, air convection, and the barrel is thinner, easy to dissipate heat, which can increase the ability of the gun to shoot continuously, and also reduce the possibility of spontaneous combustion of the gun.

Of course, on the basis of imitation, Zhao Mad still made an improvement, this thing is not more trouble-free than making guns, in the design of the German artillery development expert Ma Yanle was cited in the research results, using the most reasonable caliber and length ratio, to calculate the best reloading amount of the fire mist, of course, after the use of the new fire mistol formula and manufacturing process.

The guns have a strong recoil force when firing, and sometimes they will jump from side to side, or turn upside down, which seriously endangers the safety of the gunner and the horses, so he installed the gun pitch shaft, the pivot of the rotating shaft, the azimuth plate and the rear bracket of the gun mount. The pitch axis can be used both to mount and stabilize the gun, as well as to adjust the high and low angles: the azimuth plate and the rear bracket suppress the recoil of the gun when firing and maintain the stability of the gun: the pivot of the hinge and the azimuth plate are used together to fix the gun so that it does not move from side to side while the gun is moving from side to side.

The biggest improvement is the connection between the child and the mother, the original hard connection has been changed to a soft connection, and a tin bowl-like stopper has been added between the two. The wooden mold used to maintain the close combination of the two was changed to a screw top tightening, both of which were used to prevent the leakage of chamber pressure and increase the range and power. The shell was made of a round ball cast from lead, weighing three catties, and the charge was one and a half catties. The gun cart and the ammunition cart could be linked together and towed by two horses, and the gunner sat on the cart to accompany the cavalry unit and provide fire support.

After everything was prepared, Zhao Mad ordered the ignition, and then everyone jumped into the bunker and opened their mouths to cover their ears, "Boom, there was a loud bang, the cannon body shook violently, and smoke rose." It took a while for people to peek out of their bunkers and see that the cannon was still there!

Regardless of the dust not falling, Zhao Mad daggled out of the gun, carefully inspected the gun body, gun carriage, and gun chamber, looked at it all over, and it was intact, and then fired several more shots in a row, and after making sure that it would not explode, he adjusted the angle and measured the effective range of the gun. After tossing for a long time, the data obtained was that the effective firing range was 400 paces, and the maximum firing range was about 700 paces. The success of the test firing of the cannon is only the first step, and the next most troublesome thing is to compile the "Gun Table", which has to shoot by constantly changing the angle, collecting data, calculating the firing range of the cannon at different angles in the list, and then creating proportional gauges and rectangular gauges, so that you can shoot quickly according to different situations! Of course, Zhao Mad will not waste the opportunity to shoot shells and live ammunition in vain, let the students of those artillery teams practice and release, and when the data collection is completed, these people also learn to fire, and this cannon will be scrapped and turned into a training cannon! Zhao Yan listened to the sound of cannons, his heart was dripping blood, he realized the mood of the head of the logistics department in the army in the past, a cannon sound is half a tael of silver, five hundred copper plates, a strong laborer five days' salary, a family's five days of living expenses, it is simply a machine to eat money, if an artillery division is established, a few salvos are enough for him to toss for a month, it can really be said to raise 10,000 soldiers, and the daily consumption of money.........
