From Shenyang, the second stop is Shicheng Station.

Here the locomotives are filled with coal and water, passengers can rest, and goods can be unloaded.

Compared to the busy Suritun station, it is slightly more idle.

Zheng Zhifeng took advantage of Shi Lang's time to go to the toilet, and when he came out, he called aside.

"Stinky boy, what were you laughing at just now?" Zheng Zhifeng said dissatisfied.

In terms of generation, he and Shi Lang's father Shi Daxuan are brothers, and they are Shi Lang's uncles.

In terms of status, Shi Lang is just a fledgling boy, and he is already a naval admiral on the commanding side.

Shi Lang raised his face to look at Zheng Zhifeng, and said calmly: "Third uncle, you misunderstood. I just thought of something funny, so I couldn't help but laugh. ”

After that, Shi Lang raised his legs to leave.

Zheng Zhifeng stretched out his hand to stop it, very domineering: "If you don't make it clear, don't want to leave!" ”

"Third uncle, don't forget! I am a guard next to the king, and it is a great crime for you to restrict the freedom of the guards without authorization! ”

Shi Lang was not afraid of him at all.

Zheng Zhifeng was also a little scared, raised his arm, and slowly put it down.

Shi Lang passed by him.

Zheng Zhifeng turned around and warned: "Little hairy boy, don't be arrogant, your father is still a general under my eldest brother!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Lang turned around and walked up to Zheng Zhifeng: "Third uncle, the person who knows the times is Junjie, don't blame the nephew for not reminding you, if what you just said is heard by others and reaches the ears of the king, it will be a big trouble." ”

When Zheng Zhifeng heard this, his throat moved in fright, and he swallowed his saliva.

He was not afraid of Shi Lang at all, but he was afraid of the king.

When the uncle and nephew were talking, they were greeted by Shang Kexi, who was looking out of the carriage.

"Shi Lang's laughter just now seems to have provoked Zheng Zhifeng." Shang Kexi said while looking at it.

"My subordinates are going to take a look."

Zu Zepei raised his leg to leave, as the leading guard, he did not allow the guards to be bullied.

More importantly, guards and foreign officials should keep their distance.

"No, you don't." Yang Chengying raised his hand to stop, "Zheng Zhifeng is getting more and more eye-catching, let Xiao Shilang stimulate him." ”

Zu Zepei stopped.

"Back to business."

Yang Chengying pointed to the map and said, "The southern part of Chicken Coop Island is the Great Plains, which is suitable for your exploration. I want you to recruit the people of Fujian and Zhejiang and train them into an army at the same time as you develop. ”

When he said this, Yang Chengying looked up and asked Shang Kexi: "Have you heard of the Qi family's army?" ”

"Thunder!" Shang Kexi gave a thumbs up.

"Qi Shaobao's "Ji Xiao New Book", you must have read it?"

Yang Chengying continued to ask.

"Of course, the minister's must-read books."

Shang Kexi seemed to have suddenly opened his mind: "The king wants his ministers to recruit the villagers in Fujian and Zhejiang according to the new book of discipline, and train a force suitable for fighting in the south." ”

"That's right! Since ancient times, soil and water adaptation has been a big problem. ”

Yang Chengying said: "Our army has many northern soldiers, and the war horses are also northern horses, which are too far south and prone to diseases, which is not conducive to combat." ”

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's Chibi army was defeated, and it is said that one of the reasons was that the water and soil were not adapted.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Duoduo led his army to the south. The reason why the Ming army relied on the four towns of Jiangbei was also because most of the war horses fell ill and were not suitable to continue fighting to the south.

It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, the rivers are criss-crossed, and the west is mountainous, which is not conducive to cavalry fighting for a long time.

Therefore, it is important to develop a force suitable for fighting in the south.

This is the same reason for raising the Saurons.

"However, you can't copy my experience in managing the army, you have to adapt measures to local conditions."

Yang Chengying said: "In terms of weapons, we must also make timely adjustments according to the situation. The number of people is about one division, and it does not need to be formed so quickly in the early stage, and it is mainly based on development. ”

"The specific situation, the minister will not know until he arrives in the local area and understands it carefully."

Shang Kexi pondered: "Please give me the establishment of an army, and the number of people can be changed freely, in short, it will not bring you too much financial pressure." ”

Yang Chengying was about to speak, when he saw Zheng Zhifeng and Shi Lang get into the car one after another.

Neither of them said anything.

Yang Chengying smiled slightly, and said to Shang Kexi: "Yes." This is as it should be, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and it is very difficult to exchange letters, if it is too rigid, then you will not be chosen to stay on Chicken Coop Island. ”

"Thank you for the king's trust."

Shang Kexi clenched his fists, and then changed his words: "Please ask the king to agree to a request from the minister." ”

"You say."

"It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, which is extremely unfavorable to the use of firearms in general. The Type 09 Wuwei rifle that has already begun to be produced, can it be allocated to the ministers first. ”

Zero nine is the year, which refers to the ninth year of Chongzhen, that is, 1635, that is, this year.

Wuwei is the name given by Yang Chengying after imitating the Enfield P1853 fire cap firing rifle with the technology of the time.

Just as all artillery guns were originally called Shenwei cannons, as the caliber and weight were different, words were added in the middle of the Shenwei cannons to make it easier to distinguish.

Such as Shenwei cannon, Shenwei general cannon, Shenwei general cannon......

Yang Chengying followed the tradition of rifle manufacturers + year + type, and then named the first gun that could be mass-produced in combination with the national conditions.

So why is it a zero-nine style, and not a three-five style?

Because the ancients did not use the Common Era, but habitually used the year name.

This year is the ninth year of Chongzhen, and it is naturally zero-nine.

Type 09 has made many improvements on the basis of Yang Chengying's prototype gun (Wuwei Zero gun).

After more than a year of testing, the firing device was perfected, the casting material was improved. At the same time, the rifle process was perfected, making it completely different from the shooting pistol and flintlock pistol.

There was a rifle aesthetic that began.

The rifle that Yang Chengying demonstrated in public at the racecourse was the 09-type Wuwei rifle.

The shorter one is the Type 09 Wuwei carbin, and the shorter one is the Type 09 Wuwei pistol.

They all use Miner.

There is a predominantly women-oriented bullet factory that specializes in the production of Minne bullets and fire caps.

"No problem. When the victory comes, I will ask Jin Guofeng to leave you with all the firing rifles and ammunition of the 1,000 Tiger Wing Battalion. ”

Yang Chengying said: "You use it first, and when the first batch of guns comes out, after the shooting test, I will order someone to load the ship with the ammunition and send it to you." ”

"With the king's words, the minister is relieved."

Shang Kexi also has his own considerations, Jiangnan may face the risk of attack at any time, and if he wants to ensure safety in the early stage, he has to use his own tricks in Haizhou.

Build more camps to protect the people, stay in the fortifications and use firearms to retreat from the enemy.

Woowoo......

Bang dang! Bang dang! Bang dang!

The wheels of the train roll forward, on the steel tracks.

The next stop is Liaoyang Station.

The next station at Liaoyang Station is Anshan Station, and each train station is not very far apart.

The aim is to reduce the weight of the train by increasing the number of times coal and water are loaded.

This freed weight can carry more goods and people.

In addition, limited by the technical conditions at that time, it was also to facilitate temporary scheduling.

Just as there is a wrong parking space on a highway, there is also a wrong parking space for a steam train. In addition, the travel time of the train before and after should also be planned in detail.

In order to avoid the situation of arriving at the station at the same time, or the train coming from the opposite side.
