When Zhang Hongfan was sent to the steam ship to Hangzhou, he was in a state of unconsciousness. The medical staff of Da Song worked hard to keep Zhang Hongfan in such a state of survival. What confession, what confession, Da Song Tongtong doesn't need. Distant Hangzhou has begun to make rapid preparations for the execution of Zhang Hongfan.

A little later than Zhang Hongfan, Zhang Jun also took a steam boat to the south, and he was arranged by his father Zhang Shijie to go to Hangzhou to study. Leaving his hometown made Zhang Jun feel uneasy, and what made him even more uneasy was something else, he felt as if something in him had been destroyed forever.

When they learned that Zhang Hongfan was arrested, Qin Mohuan and Li Fangfang had just exterminated Shi Tianze's family. Qin Mohuan already knew Li Fangfang's experience, when the coalition formed by the Han army and the marquis slaughtered Li Pu, the general of the army was Shi Tianze. Now that feng shui is turning, the ending of Shi Tianze's family being slaughtered by Li Fangfang is not so unexpected in Qin Mohuan's eyes.

Zhang Shijie handed over those hardcore clansmen of Zhang Hongfan to the military region alive, and he himself set out the task of disbanding the Red Turban Army, and the Great Song Dynasty did not need an armed force with different origins.

Hebei is so quietly settled. Hangzhou, which was the source of the Great Song Dynasty Change, gathered a new storm center. At this time, Yang Tiexin went to Hangzhou and was assigned to a temporary training camp with senior commanders gathered from all over the country. The training battalion organized these veterans to participate in live-fire target shooting

The test-firing shooters fired 10 rounds in a row at a distance of 50 meters, and after the design was finished, the senior commanders went to test it, and they were all stunned. Each life-size target had at least nine bullet holes, and the carefully selected shooters showed their game, some with their heads and some in their chests. If the target is a real person, as long as you eat a bullet, it will be either dead or seriously injured.

"Tsk! What is the effective range of the musket now? ”

"20, not 15 meters."

"Within 15 meters. The so-called battle is only three shots, in fact, you can really defeat the enemy in a row at a distance of 10 meters, and the previous ones depend on luck. ”

"If a battalion can fight like this at a distance of 50 meters, 10,000 enemies on the opposite side will not be enough."

"It's still a high level of shooters."

"Whether it's high or not, let's just try it ourselves."

"Okay, let's go now."

The veteran guns immediately demanded to learn how to use the new weapons. To their surprise, the instructor came exactly according to the rules of training recruits, and the first thing he did was to familiarize the gang with weapons. Seeing the Type 22 rifle, it seemed to be no different from the previous smoothbore gun, and when they got it in their hands, these veterans who were proficient in muskets felt that the density of this slender weapon was different from that of the previous iron gun. The Type 22 rifle is a steel rifle, which is very different from the iron rifles that preceded it. There are even more differences in other internal details, and these senior commanders are all stunned.

After finally finishing talking about the construction of the rifle and bringing up the bullets, the gang didn't know the evaluation for a while. The bullet is no longer the gray-black lead bullet of the past, but a brightly colored paper shell conical copper bullet. Underneath the copper bullet is a small round piece of cork. The instructor took out the cut bullet, and it turned out to be a copper shell on the outside and lead on the inside. By this time, the senior commanders had finally determined that the new rifle was really not a new wine in an old bottle, but a truly brand new rifle. Such a delicate weapon made Yang Tiexin, who had always been depressed, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

According to the new shooting mode, the veteran will soon be able to hit five out of ten shots at a distance of 50 meters. The top shooters in charge of the test firing were able to hit seven out of ten bullets at a distance of 100 meters. These veterans immediately enthusiastically sang praises to Zhao Guan's family.

Zhao Jiaren knew that these guys were quite sincere in singing praises, but he didn't particularly need this kind of praise. Not long after the Mine rifle came out, the rifle changed from a front-loading to a rear-loading, which used to be a problem that Zhao Jiaren did not understand. Now he kind of understood. A circular bullet can be easily propelled to the bottom by a cylindrical bar that tends to damage the head of the bullet when it pushes the conical bullet. So the new rifle's bar is a custom-made head split that pushes just below the tip of the bullet. However, the head of this kind of throughbar is easily damaged, and it is necessary to have various backups. In addition, after the Mine rifle came out, because the accuracy was greatly increased, the dense array required by the smoothbore gun was wasteful and not conducive to the accurate shooting of the shooter. As the queue thinned, the old tactics changed.

There is also the problem that the cork, which is now contained in the tail of the bullet, was imported from Portugal. Although King Dinish I of Spain was very excited about being able to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Maritime Administration was very dissatisfied with the movement of cork for tens of thousands of miles. What a waste! In the case of a breech-loading rifle, this problem can be solved.

The senior commander asked a different question, "Official, when will this equipment be delivered to the troops?" ”

"It depends on the factory that makes the barrel." Zhao Jiaren gave an answer. The transformation of iron guns into steel guns requires the Dasong metal processing industry to have corresponding processing capacity, which is a very expensive investment, "Now it can produce 1,000 qualified barrels a month." ”

"A thousand? It will be a year to equip a division of troops! The senior commanders were excited.

"That's a good calculation. If the factory can be expanded, this problem can be solved. ”

Knowing that the problem could be solved, the group of people eagerly asked, "How to expand?" ”

"There are two ways to do this. First, let the operators and masters of those mixing furnaces play to the level, so that the steel of each furnace can reach the same level. 2. Ensure that the quality of coal mines and iron mines is as consistent as possible, adopt exactly the same equipment and technology, and try to make the quality of steel the same. "Zhao Jiaren took the model of early industrial construction standards to everyone.

"It's all mines, will it be any different?"

Looking at the insincere expression, Zhao Guanjia said with a difficult expression: "Do you want me to tell you about the history of the earth?" ”

"No need!" The heads of the senior commanders shook like rattles. More than 20 years ago, the government organized the armed forces with the attitude of running schools, so any lecture had to be examined. For this group of guys who don't love natural science, listening to official lectures is like a sentence.

also had a clever idea and immediately changed the topic, "If you want to come to the official family, you must know where this mineral is located!" ”

"Well, it's said to be in Liaodong." Zhao Jiaren didn't want to embarrass these subordinates. The mineral taste of Anshan iron ore is very ordinary, and there is no way to compare it with Australian iron ore. However, the advantage of Anshan iron ore is that the mining area is large and the grade is equal. As long as the smelting process is determined, it can produce relatively stable steel with stable quality. After thinking about it, Zhao Jiaren felt that the Anshan Iron Mine in this era was more suitable.

Although they lack knowledge of natural sciences, the senior members do not lack the ability to be basically obedient, and some people immediately loudly expressed their loyalty, "The official family wants Liaodong, and we will take Liaodong for the official family!" ”

"What do you mean by taking? Liaodong is my homeland in China, this is called reconquest! Recovered! ”

"Regain Liaodong! Regain Liaodong! The senior members shouted.

Zhao Jiaren saw that he was in such a mood at this time, so he waved his hand and called the temporary secretary Zhao Ruoshui, "Bring the whole map of Huaxia!" ”

Zhao Ruoshui ran to push the blackboard with the logo written, on which is a 'full map of China', north to the Arctic Ocean, the east covers the north of Fusang Island, the south includes the entire Indochina Peninsula and all the large and small islands and land in the Pacific Ocean, and the west to the 'Persian Protectorate' in the Green Mountains, pointing to such a map, Zhao Jiaren said: "My Great Song Dynasty is the Zhengshuo of China, and every inch of these lands must be recovered." The first step is this Liaodong. ”

At the end of the meeting, when he returned home, Zhao Ruoshui asked his father, "Dad, you are like a declaration of war, but not like a declaration of war." It always feels weird. ”

"The military is the continuation of politics, and politics is the appearance of the economy. It is wrong to use military force in a reckless manner, because to use military force is to save face without regard for the economy. I can leave a complete map of China, but until I die, I probably won't give an order to recover Tibet militarily. Why? Because in the absence of urgency, the economic benefits of recovering Tibet are too low. With this energy, I went directly to recover the abbot continent in the south. ”

Zhao Ruoshui nodded again and again after hearing this, "Is this what Dad said about how big a pot is to cook how much food?" ”

Zhao Jiaren was very satisfied with his daughter's response, and he smiled: "Almost." But this claim had to be taken out early. Just because I can't eat it now doesn't mean I'm giving up. This foreshadowing had to be left early. ”

"Understood! Got it! Zhao Ruoshui nodded again and again.

Looking at his daughter's attitude, Zhao Jiaren said solemnly: "Auntie, we must love the country." If politics becomes only a means, it will inevitably backfire on itself. Because the standard of patriotism is a standard that is the same for everyone. Anyone can be judged before such standards. It's the same even if it's an official family. ”

Zhao Ruoshui was taken aback, and she hurriedly asked, "Even Daddy can't be outside of patriotism?" ”

"I was able to sit in the position of an official family because I told others that I was the standard of patriotism. For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I took out all my own land and property to promote the nationalization of land. For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I will bear the expenses of the imperial army, and I don't want the imperial court to return them. For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I stood firm and stubbornly in front of the battle, and fought for the Great Song Dynasty to restore the old land. It is precisely because everyone admits that I am the most patriotic and have the greatest credit for the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty. That's why I'm able to sit in this supreme position. That's where my rule lies. As soon as this system is established, all the officials of the Great Song Dynasty must be patriots in the future. This is the legal system of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Ruoshui lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "Dad, I understand." I originally thought that patriotism was a means of progress, but now I know that patriotism is the bottom line of the royal family. I will never use this as a means again. ”

"It's good to understand, it's good to understand." Zhao Jiaren nodded again and again.
