Chapter 658: The Whip of the Celestial Gods (8)

Previously, Ma Guozhu, the governor of Liangjiang, ordered people to sweep away the prostitutes in Nanjing.

He followed the advice of the Ming mage and the Tartar shaman, and used the prostitutes/girls of the Qinhuai River as the last weapons of death.

Qinhuai River is a tributary of the Yangtze River, with a total length of about 110 kilometers, it is the ancient name of the main river in Nanjing - Huaishui, the famous poet Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty once wrote: "The old time and moon in the east of Huaishui are also over the female wall in the middle of the night." "The Huaishui here is the Qinhuai River, and the female wall is the meaning of the city wall.

It can be seen that it has been the moat of Nanjing since ancient times, and its original name is "Longzangpu", which is also the cradle of Nanjing's ancient civilization.

Legend has it that when Qin Shi Huang toured the east, he looked at the purple gas rising above Jinling, thought that he was angry, so he chiseled the square mountain, broke the long wall for the desecration, entered the river, the descendants thought that this water was opened in the Qin period, so it was called "Qin Huai".

Since ancient times, emperors and generals have believed that the land of Nanjing gathers royal energy, so Nanjing is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Qin Huaihe sang the leading role here.

It has been a bustling business district and residential area since Soochow. During the Six Dynasties, it became a place where famous families lived, and after the Sui and Tang dynasties, it gradually declined, but it attracted countless literati and scholars to come here to pay their respects, and sighed that "in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people".

In the Song Dynasty, it gradually recovered as a cultural and educational center in Jiangnan. The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of the ten-mile Qinhuai.

In addition to the royal spirit, Qinhuai River also has a kind of gold powder building, painting the boat Lingbo's drunken gold fan, drunk life and dream death.

The Confucius Temple and the Jiangnan Gongyuan were on the same bank of the Qinhuai River, and on the other side of the Qinhuai River was the red light district at that time.

When those who read come out of the two places that they consider the most sacred, they can go directly to those places, and the principles they believe in, what they say, and what they actually do, are two sets of standards.

Prostitutes are not born, many of them were abducted by some traffickers when they were children, or street children picked up by themselves, and even attacked their relatives and daughters, but most of them were bought by some people who "raised thin horses".

These people raised the girls to a certain age and sold them to brothels at a high price.

Then the brothel boss hired a master to teach these little girls piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and trained them from an early age, telling them that the customer was God.

Then, when they were fifteen or sixteen years old, the bustard would choose a better one to continue to advance, and there were generally only a few of them, and these girls would be the Oiran of the city, or the city.

For the rest, go straight to the customer service.

Those so-called talented people who come for sightseeing, if they say that they have fallen in love with some ordinary women, then they can redeem her body and get rid of her nationality by giving some money.

But if you look at the Oiran and the pillars, it will be very troublesome. Many prostitutes/women who have made a name for themselves want to be good, and they are also forced to do this business. So, they hid from the bustard, accumulated a lot of wealth, and made a treasure chest. Wait until you meet a man who agrees, even if the man has no money, he can redeem himself and live together.

However, this plan is very good, but it is also possible that he has lost his eyes, for example, Du Shi Niang, and finally sank the treasure chest in anger and sank into the river together.

Of course, there are also good ones, such as the Oiran lady Wang Meier and the oil seller Qin Chong, who lived happily together, I hope this story is true.

The people of the Han and Tang groups despise the kind of remarks that prostitutes/women in the late Ming Dynasty are more dignified than literati, which is too childish.

The cost of the temperament here is different, one is single, and the other may involve a family of hundreds of people.

Let's get everything back to common sense, and the vast majority of them have become obedient people.

Besides, is the Ming Dynasty really so worthy of people to die for it?

But!

When slaughtered, all resistance is full of humanity!

No matter what reason or method is used, the personal insult and slaughter of others are evil and will be judged! There may not even be a chance to be judged.

The Qinglou area of the Qinhuai River was also devastated in the war.

Now, this place is also recovering little by little, but the business of Qinglou is not doing well.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the regime once established a system of official prostitutes, with a relatively clear division between official and private prostitutes.

After the middle period, the political forces have almost completely withdrawn from interfering in the activities of prostitutes/women, and the official prostitutes who originally came out of the status of official slaves and maids such as prisoners, criminals or their families have blurred the boundaries of official prostitutes because of the prevalence of "buying good money for prostitutes".

At the same time, because the bureaucracy is unable to effectively ban illegal prostitutes in the enforcement of the law, the private prostitutes who were originally "not subordinate to the officials, but who sell adulterers at home" have also gone beyond the scope of the family in actual business, and the private prostitutes have been openly operated; Comparatively speaking, official prostitutes who are not well managed can also become itinerant prostitutes.

In this way, the boundary between official and private prostitutes has almost been extinguished, both in terms of the definition of legal status and the actual mode of business.

In short, the production of prostitutes in the early Ming Dynasty can be said to be mainly caused by political forces, and after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the production of prostitutes was mainly influenced by economic factors.

The so-called "prostitute/woman" is not necessarily a woman who is called in a brothel.

In Nanjing, the social activities of prostitutes and women are quite diverse, and they can be conceptually distinguished, which can be roughly divided into three different forms: prostitutes, nomadic prostitutes and hospital prostitutes.

"Prostitutes" can be found in towns, post stations, or along crowded thoroughfares.

As for the "nomadic prostitutes", they mainly gather in the city, they linger in restaurants, teahouses, with their posture or talent to attract guests, with the joy of the night, this kind of "prostitute" can be described as the parasite of the city's prosperity, they are attached to the city at the same time to add to the city's prosperity.

In addition, higher than the nomadic prostitutes who wander among the restaurants and teahouses are the prostitutes in the brothels, and these "house prostitutes" have exclusive and exquisite activity spaces, and this spatial advantage allows their activities to develop a unique art culture.

When all this was just restored, when there was laughter and laughter on the Qinhuai River just now, Ma Guozhu, the governor of Liangjiang, ordered all the prostitutes/women to be taken down!

Only wicked people in times of danger think of using women to ward off disasters! โ€•โ€•

The small artillery at the head of the city of Nanjing was at the mercy of the so-called "Mufu Battalion" in advance.

But they did not hold even a quarter of an hour under the fire of the Yangtze River fleet.

The Tartars' understanding of water warfare cut off all their artillery - but they still had heavy crossbows.

That's why Captain Homer didn't give the order to rush over.

At this time, all the people on the battlefield were watching the women who were staggering forward.

Ma Guozhu, the governor of Liangjiang, was pleasantly surprised to find that those pirates seemed to be confused for a while at first, and then looked at them as if they were scared stupid!

Quick, quick, the people behind rushed over and knocked them down the Yangtze River at once!

Behind the women, a group of soldiers felt that they had an opportunity, and they seemed to be about to rush -

Captain Homer looked at the naked women who were walking slowly, and his eyes were clear.

His command is clear and powerful!

"Rocket group! Throw the walls! Waste! โ€

"Mortar group, hoist three hundred meters ahead! Waste! โ€

"Marching artillery group, shoot straight at the city gate area! Waste! โ€

"Naval artillery group, shoot straight at the city gate area! Six shots! Waste! โ€

All the people were ready early and they responded.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

"Suddenly!" "Suddenly!" "Suddenly!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

All kinds of voices suddenly sounded in the heavens and the earth, and Captain He Ma Xiang thought coldly, why care about casualties? Maybe it's long overdue to destroy them!

The sound of explosions filled this battlefield!

In addition to the naval artillery group, because the M1870 main gun is still used, the number of shots is limited, and the other fire groups, Captain Homer Elephant does not give a limit.

That means shelling, blowing everything up! Until you run out of ammunition!

We're going to rebuild everything!

Captain Homer was pleased to see that most of the women were slumped on the ground in fright, and he chuckled, "I will show you how we punish evilโ€”

Mortars were the first weapons to be finalized.

When its elastic body processing can be completely undertaken by Mingren sand turners and lathes, it began to enter the mass production project.

The Red Star Military Factory designed it with a caliber of 75 mm.

This is a standard that may not exist in that side of the world, but it fits perfectly with the characteristics of Akito technicians. Sizes that are too big or too small are too demanding for them, and after investigation, it was found that those sand turners were particularly suitable for the 75 mm standard, so they changed it.

The level of machining determines the industry standard.

The Type 1654 marching gun is a prototype of the Red Star Military Factory, and judging by the name, it is known that it may not be mass-produced until next year.

The Type 1654 marching gun was an imitation of the 92 infantry gun of Little Japan.

In fact, there is still controversy about whether to go to this project.

It's not because of its structure.

In the eyes of Director Lin Shengli, its structure is only a little more complex than a mortar.

It also doesn't require much of a metal material, not even a reentry spring.

There are certain requirements for accuracy, that is, the level of the power engine on the steam engine.

Its advantages are numerous. When the Type 1654 marching gun was copied, technical compromises were made in some places, so the total weight was heavier than the original, reaching 300 kilograms.

However, this is also very demanding in terms of transportation, and in the absence of vehicles, untrained animal or human power can be towed forward.

Coupled with the fact that it can be dismantled and transported, the requirements for road conditions in the war zone are almost reduced to a minimum.

It can be said that it is a marching gun that can truly accompany the infantry battalion in combat unconditionally.

It has a lateral firing range of 90 degrees and a high and low firing angle of nearly 90 degrees, so it can withstand a relatively large range of firing angle adjustments, and can be used flexibly, especially at an elevation angle of more than 80 degrees.

It can fire at almost all types of targets: flat fire can be used as a cannon, which is enough to deal with civil fortifications and masonry fortifications in general; The warp can be used as a howitzer; It can be used as a mortar when firing at large elevation angles.

Director Li Ziqiang wondered, why didn't such a good thing be launched in batches?

Director Lin Shengli said: "Its initial speed is too low, less than 200 meters per second, and it can't hit the stone castles of Europe!" โ€

"We'll use it to fire gas shells then, okay!"

Director Lin Shengli paused and said: "-- The mortar plus the bazooka has its main function, but it is much heavier than the two combined, and it uses more manpower, is this a waste of production capacity and manpower?" โ€

"Isn't it farther than a bazooka, more accurate than a mortar, and it's also on a battleshipโ€”"

"Ah, it's a marching cannon!"

"My Director Lin, in the past few years, your thinking has not changed, are we afraid of waste?!

There is a hot ball machine, and we still want a pot camel machine; On Miaoli Mountain, alcohol is being exchanged for oil; The conveyor belts are all leather, and the big flywheels are made of high-quality vegetable oil - what are you afraid of wasting?

If you look at Zheng Er's goods, you don't need ivory buttons, you have to use celluloid buttons to be magnificent! โ€

At that time, Director Lin Shengli was completely convinced.

What era is this? It was an era when glass bulbs were more expensive than Dehua white porcelain bowls; It was an era when silver chrysanthemum rubber was more expensive than all kinds of leather; It was a time when bakelite was more expensive than precious wood!

The Type 1654 marching gun was well received by the Anhai Brigade and was renamed the Type 1654 Main Battle Gun.

They said that with a range of 2,500 meters, they were going to put it at 1,000 meters, as long as it could penetrate more than 1 meter thick wood.

In one test, this is too good -- the 3.8 to 4 kilogram high-explosive bombs are too good to use.

Now it is called the trial production stage, mainly because the process of processing shells is more complex than mortars.

To use key equipment such as stamping and hole drawing equipment, the technicians of Hantang Group need to get started in person, and even Director Li Ziqiang has been arranged.

It is expected that by the end of next year, Akito technicians will be trained, and relevant equipment suitable for this time and space will be launched.

The Haian Marine Corps led by Captain Homer had a total of two Type 1654 marching guns, and they were constantly spewing anger at this time!

The rocket team even played a burst of shots!
