The most fundamental reason that restricts the mobility of the Ning Navy at present is that the artillery is too heavy, and unlike the original artillery of several hundred catties and several thousand catties, the heaviest artillery of the Ning Navy is the five-inch breech-loading rifled gun, and the weight of the barrel of this 28 times diameter artillery alone is as much as 8,000 catties.

If you count the cannon hoe, brake, gun mirror, and base, the total weight is as high as more than 20,000 catties, and even the largest 5,000-material giant shark-class battleship in the Ning Navy cannot withstand the huge recoil.

Of course, the power of this kind of heavy artillery is also quite amazing, if it is in the dense array, Jiannu can be reimbursed with one shot, and most of their men and horses will be blown into a state of parts.

But the problem is that this kind of artillery is too heavy, so far four have been produced, and it is still in the gun bureau, if the fire ox cart, that is, the steam locomotive can be successfully produced, even if the wheeled fire ox cart cannot be towed, it can be placed on the steam engine train.

Cheng Shijie saw that Guo Xin was so capable, so he decided to hang up, from the principle of the steam engine, the structure of the steam engine train, and even found a handmade god from the Internet to order a handmade steam engine train model, although it is a handmade model, but this steam engine model weighs more than 380 pounds.

After Cheng Shijie spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy it, it took half a month to assemble it and send it to Guo Xin for research.

"It's incredible, it's ingenious!"

When Guo Xin looked at this model steam engine train, his eyes were almost straight, as if he was an old bachelor who had been single for more than 50 years, and he saw a beautiful woman.

In Guo Xin's eyes, this steam engine train is exquisitely designed, and he actually understands most of the working principles, but it just makes him unimaginable that all kinds of small accessories are built very precisely, which can be said to be exactly the same, otherwise it will not be assembled at all, and what makes Guo Xin feel unbelievable is the welding of the pipe, the solder joints are smooth, and there is no air leakage.

"Dashuai, I don't know which master this fire ox cart is from, can you recommend it?"

"Well, this master has passed away, and his apprentices haven't learned the real skills......"

"What a pity!"

Guo Xin doesn't want such a legendary master to pass away, after all, judging from the results of the creation of this fire ox cart, this master craftsman's skills are much more beneficial than his own, and if they can cooperate, they can definitely solve a lot of problems!

"Dashuai, can I dismantle this ox cart?"

"Yes!"

Cheng Shijie said: "You can rest assured that there is still one such fire ox car, but due to serious damage, I am afraid that it will not be able to be delivered in a short time!" ”

Guo Xin said with some hesitation: "Handsome, I'm just afraid of demolishing the bad guy!" ”

"Don't be afraid, you can dismantle it with confidence, it's best to figure it out!"

Cheng Shijie patted the steam engine train model and said: "It is best to understand the technical problems of this car, in fact, this car does not have practicality, it is too small, if it can be expanded by ten times, or even a hundred times, then it can carry hundreds of thousands of pounds of heavy objects, as long as this kind of car appears, the curse of not selling wood for a hundred miles and not selling grain for thousands of miles can be completely broken!" ”

Guo Xin also knows that what Cheng Shijie said is the truth, Liaodong is not short of grain now, and the most scarce food is Shaanxi and Henan, but if the grain wants to be transported to Henan or Shaanxi, it is very difficult, and seven or eight percent will be consumed on the road.

At the same time, Cheng Shijie returned to the Ning Navy General Military Mansion with two sample cars from Guo Xin. Of course, Guo Xin also made the most extensive improvements to this kind of fire ox cart, first of all, it was equipped with an armor-type shell, which was to protect the carriage from arrows or knives, and added horn guards to key troops, especially in front of it, and actually added a bull's head decoration.

Looking at the car now, this fire ox cart looks angular, with teeth and claws, and has a unique aesthetic of industrial design.

Chen Guodong looked at these two weird vehicles and said, "Dashuai, this car has no wheels, how to go?" ”

"Guodong found a few people and drove these two cars for non-stop testing until they were scrapped!" It's not that Cheng Shijie believes in the data provided by Guo Xin, and I'm afraid Guo doesn't understand the theoretical data. Any invention is inseparable from the brute force test, and only in the extreme environment can the limit parameters of a thing be tested.

Chen Guodong asked with some puzzlement: "Dashuai, what is a non-stop test?" ”

Chen Guodong was a little embarrassed, in fact, uninterrupted, test, he understood these five words, but he didn't know how to say it.

Cheng Shijie patiently explained the concept of non-stop testing to Chen Guodong, Chen Guodong asked people to drive a fire ox cart along the cement roads, muck roads, dirt roads, hillside roads, and ravines outside the city of Jinzhou, and start driving with their lives, while a fire ox cart was loaded with more sandbags to test the ultimate load capacity.

Money can go all the way.

This sentence is also correct in Daming, Cheng Shijie rewarded a little-known Guo Xin, and asked him to use 500,000 taels of silver to establish an engineering college, which is at the same level as the Agricultural College in Zhenhai City and the Medical College in Xinghai City, and the territory is also at the same level.

This engineering college was built in Gaizhou, in the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain, with a planned area of 3.6 million acres. Of course, these 3.6 million mu are not the construction area, but the planned area, and like the Agricultural College in Zhenhai City and the Medical College in Xinghai City, it has a test site in the county area.

The area of Zhenhai City is also not small, with a total area of more than 2.6 million mu, including more than 700,000 acres of grassland, more than 1 million acres of arable land, including forest land, and a lake of 140,000 mu. Relatively speaking, the smallest is Xinghai City, with a total of just over one million acres of land, of which about one-third is mountainous.

The engineering college in Ninghai City is large, mainly because Cheng Shijie will experiment with the railway in Ninghai City in the future, and Ninghai City has all-terrain, mountains, grasslands, plains, lakes, and forests. Only a variety of terrain and environments can be suitable for the future research of steam engine trains in the Faculty of Engineering.

Although not all of the 500,000 taels of silver were directly handed over to Guo Xin, this treatment was at the disposal of Guo Xin, and this treatment can be compared with Chen Zilong and Yang Qingyun.

The name Guo Xin also spread from unknown to famous in Liaodong in an instant, and almost everyone knew that Guo Xin could only ascend to the sky in one step, because Guo Xin used the fire ox to create a fire ox cart, which won Cheng Shijie's appreciation.

This greatly stimulated the technical craftsmen in Liaodong, and many people were actually dissatisfied with Guo Xin, after all, the real inventor of the fire bull was Wang Zheng. And Guo Xin only integrated the train and the four-wheeled carriage on the basis of Wang Zheng's invention of the fire ox.

Cheng Shijie used 500,000 taels of silver as if adding a catalyst to the land of Liaodong, and a round of integration boom was launched in the industrial manufacturing of the entire Liaodong.

On the day when the fire ox cart factory had just broken ground, Cheng Shijie received another report that a private horse-drawn carriage factory in Jinzhou had produced a steam-style tricycle. The four-wheel steering mechanism is relatively complex, and the handlebar steering mechanism is even simpler.

Cheng Shijie almost choked on his saliva when he visited the tricycle named Monster, which is not like the electric tricycle of later generations, but similar to a partial three-wheeled motorcycle, that is, with a wheel on the left side, a large chair, and a horizontal bar armrest in front of the chair.

This little monster is as weird as it gets, however, the problem is that this monster can go crazy at twenty-five kilometers per hour after fifteen minutes of warm-up.

However, the monster's stability is not very good, especially when cornering, and it is prone to roll over.

Cheng Shijie is the son of Zhao Yi, the second son of Zhao Shizhen, and the grandson of the famous inventor Zhao Shizhen.

Cheng Shijie encouraged Zhao Xu, and went to Xinghai City, Xinghai City has the largest area of medicinal materials planting base in eastern Liaodong, and now there are more than 700,000 acres of various medicinal materials planted alone to meet the research and application of medicinal materials in Xinghai City Medical College.

Cheng Shijie's support for traditional Chinese medicine is all-round, and after Yang Qingyun arrived in Liaodong, he assigned Yang Qingyun ten hundred households, totaling more than 5,000 people, for Yang Qingyun to drive.

When Cheng Shijie came to Xinghai City, Yang Qingyun was undergoing an operation, and now there are more than 600 doctors in Xinghai Medical College in Liaodong, and as for the disciples and grandchildren they have trained, there are as many as 1,000 people.

In fact, all along, Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine have not received enough attention, although the rulers of the past dynasties have also supported traditional Chinese medicine, but the scale and intensity of support are far from enough, can be called a drop in the bucket, the degree of attention to Chinese herbal medicine is also insufficient, many doctors also need to go into the mountains alone to collect medicine, occasionally there are pharmacists to plant medicinal materials, but also only driven by economic interests, with a great degree of arbitrariness.

Cheng Shijie is now taking out hundreds of thousands of acres of land to plant Chinese herbal medicine, not to mention how high the level of traditional Chinese medicine in Liaodong can be, at least it is no problem to plant Chinese herbal medicine on a large scale.

In fact, the research of traditional Chinese medicine is not so difficult, as long as you are willing to spend money, those traditional Chinese patent medicines, according to the formula handed down by repeated trials, can always find a suitable ratio, as for the experimental subjects, there are many in Liaodong, this is not to say people, but a large number of wild animals in Liaodong, these wild animals can provide enough data for the experiment.

However, this experiment was very unsuccessful, Yang Qingyun originally wanted to connect the severed hand to a worker who had his wrist severed, this operation is also a very difficult operation in the future, but Yang Qingyun helped for six hours, but the patient still did not get off the operating table.

Yang Qingyun didn't even see Cheng Shijie's face, he locked himself in the house, it seems that Yang Qingyun has been hit this time.

The next day, Yang Qingyun's mood finally stabilized.

"Dashuai, I'm very sorry for what happened yesterday!"

Yang Qingyun apologized to Cheng Shijie, although the medical school has trained tens of thousands of doctors in more than three years, but these doctors are all unqualified doctors in Yang Qingyun's eyes: "Dashuai, the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine is very slow, how can we train enough qualified doctors?" How can I speed up the process? ”

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly and said: "This question is actually not too complicated!" ”

In later generations, many people said that Western medicine is faster and easier than Chinese medicine to train talents. In fact, this is very nonsense, if a Western doctor is like an excellent Chinese medicine practitioner, he should be proficient in internal medicine, brain surgery, thoracic surgery, pediatrics, maternal and child health care, oncology and heart and blood medicine, etc., it would be strange if they were faster than Chinese medicine.

Western medicine just subdivides medicine, just like making a precision car, it is very difficult to learn to build a car, if you divide the manufacture of a car into several modules, it will be much simpler. In later generations, this problem has actually been solved, and Chinese medicine has been divided into detailed specialties just like Western medicine.

"There's only one way!"

"Division?"

"Yes!"

Cheng Shijie said: "It is difficult to train a TCM general practitioner without more than ten or twenty years and without extremely high talent, but the question is what if it is just subdivided? For example, in the department of acupuncture and moxibustion, such a doctor only needs to understand the basic medical theory and acupuncture techniques, plus a little practice, and can become a teacher. ”

Yang Qingyun said: "Then what if he encounters other diseases, how to solve them?" ”

"Traditional Chinese medicine is not only divided into schools but also in hospitals, in small hospitals can be divided into gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, internal medicine, in large hospitals can be divided into respiratory medicine, urology, gastroenterology, cardiology, cerebrovascular, endocrinology, neurosurgery, pain surgery, etc., after subdivision, the teachers of medical schools can take students to study and study at the same time!"

Regarding the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, Cheng Shijie also had his own thoughts, traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "looking, asking, diagnosing and cutting", which is mainly a process of experience accumulation, so Chinese medicine will be more valuable the older it is, because only if you have seen enough cases can you have rich experience.

Relatively speaking, Western medicine is much simpler, in the 21st century, most of the "looking, asking, diagnosing, cutting" of Chinese medicine has been replaced by machines, especially in the diagnosis, which has basically been replaced by machines, which is largely because of the lack of experience, there are fewer and fewer experienced doctors, or in other words, the top medical resources are becoming more and more precious, so machines will prevail.

Cheng Shijie hopes that the model is to use machines as much as possible to provide more references for doctors, but in terms of treatment, it is still more necessary to use traditional Chinese medicine methods.

Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, the methods of Western medicine are too rough, the harm to patients is too great, and the sequelae of many drugs are too much.

The practice mode of traditional Chinese medicine is the medical hall, and it is very difficult to develop to the scale of the hospital, Cheng Shijie has unparalleled advantages in this regard, and the effect of using administrative power to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine is unimaginable.

Cheng Shijie's plan in eastern Liaodong is to establish at least one school in each town, and also to build a hospital, which must at least include gynecology, pediatrics, internal medicine and surgery, which can basically deal with some common diseases, and establish a county-level hospital in the county.

Yang Qingyun thought about it, looked at Cheng Shijie and said: "Dashuai, I feel that my medical skills are not good, and I am ready to ......."

"Are you ready to invite some famous doctors to join the medical school?"

"Yes, there is this idea!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly and said: "You can boldly invite, you can rest assured that you will always be the dean of Xinghai Medical College!" ”

Just when Cheng Shijie and Yang Qingyun were discussing how to improve the medical and health level of Liaodong, Huang Taiji in Shenyang made a difficulty.

In fact, after more than three years of recuperation, especially after Lin Dan Khan's son Ezhe led the Mongols to surrender to Huang Taiji, Jiannu basically recovered at least eighty or ninety percent of the strength of the Battle of Haizhou.

With the remnants of Lin Dan Khan's more than 40,000 men and horses surrendering to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji had 40,000 or 50,000 horses and millions of sheep, which was a huge wealth, and also gave the poor Jiannu a chance to breathe.

However, the problem is that there are two sides to everything, the increase of people and horses is a good thing and a bad thing, these cows, sheep and horses all need to eat grass, but the problem is that the weather in the north is getting colder and drier, especially as there are more cattle and sheep, those sheep can't eat enough grass, even the grass roots.

This forms a chain reaction, the more grass roots the sheep eat, the faster the grassland degrades, there is not enough grass, a large number of cattle and sheep have no way to feed, there is no way to feed the cattle and sheep, there is no way to feed those many people and horses.

In order to survive, they have only one way, and that is to go south.

However, the problem is that they Jiannu have been psychologically shadowed by the Ning Navy, and if they don't find a way to restrain the Ning Navy's tactics, they still have no way to develop south.

There is no grassland development is only one side of the difficulty, the other side of the difficulty is actually the shortage of materials, relying on the Jin merchants to transport salt and tea, almost exhausted, not to mention ordinary Jiannu, even Huang Taiji himself, when eating, use salt as carefully as monosodium glutamate.

Now not only ordinary people can't hold on, but even Huang Taiji himself is about to go crazy.

The court meeting held once every ten days, the faces of the Jiannu nobles were extremely ugly, and Huang Taiji was even more gloomy as water, he looked at the crowd: "It is about to enter autumn, but the cattle and sheep do not have enough pasture to fatten, and in winter, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive, if this problem cannot be solved in time, the consequences are very serious!" ”

Haoge didn't seem to hear Huang Taiji's words, his eyelids drooped, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and he wandered outside the body.

Dai Shan was holding a thin thread and was picking his teeth.

Dolgon, on the other hand, was playing with his fingers.

Huang Taiji's gaze fell on Wu Shoujin, the head of the household.

Wu Shoujin said with a sad face: "King Khan, there is no way for the minions, this year is more drought than last year, we have more sheep and cattle, a pasture that can only put a hundred sheep now, now we need to put two or three hundred, and those grasses are not enough to eat......"

Now there are only two ways in front of Huang Taiji, either kill some cattle and sheep, and the pasture is enough to raise so many cattle and sheep, but the problem is that now their entire Dajin Kingdom is eating one meal, not the next meal, and even they are hungry and lose more than thirty pounds, not to mention others?

Either go south and snatch back the Songliao Plain from the hands of the Ning Navy, and use the vast Songliao Plain to easily solve the problem of lack of forage.

Haoge suddenly opened his eyes and roared: "Gather all the soldiers and horses, go south to fight to the death with the Ning Navy, and recapture Liaoyang!" ”

Even if Haoge's head was not kicked by the donkey, he knew that he only captured Liaoyang, and did not shout to recapture Liaodong and annihilate the Ning Navy.

Hauge's proposal won the support of the younger generation.

Yue Tuo rolled his eyes at Haoge and secretly scolded the mentally retarded, if they didn't solve the artillery problem of the Ning Navy, what would they do to recapture Liaoyang?

Do you want to take human lives to consume the bullets and shells of the Ning Navy?

What is certain is that the Ning Navy has more shells and bullets than the people of the Dajin Country, and if they want to run out of the Ning Navy's bullets, unless they can have a population of the Dajin Kingdom hundreds of times more.

The conservatives and the radicals immediately quarreled, the two sides fought for the red faces, and the Ming court's quarrels were all quoted from the scriptures, and the needles were hidden in the cotton, but the Jiannu court quarreled in the court, but it was louder than whose voice was louder and whose momentum was enough.

Huang Taiji only felt that his brain was swollen and painful, and he felt that it was too difficult from the bottom of his heart.

Under the leadership of Nurhachi, Jiannu fought against the Ming with seven hatreds, and Dajin has been dancing on the blade, compared with Daming, Dajin is too small, they Dajin is like a gambler, almost every time they are gambling on the fortune of the country.

After the Battle of Fushun, they didn't even dare to go to Shenyang, especially before Salhu, when they heard that the Ming Dynasty had recruited 470,000 troops to attack, how many Jianzhou warriors were on the battlefield with a mortal mentality?

Fortunately, that bet was won, and this was the beginning of their bet on the fortunes of the country. Just imagine, if the Ming Dynasty hadn't fought so badly, the whole country would have pulled each other back.

Especially Li Chengliang's Li Jiajun, the court defends them like thieves, can they win so smoothly?

If this war is a stalemate, what will happen to Daikin?

I dare not think about the consequences.

Huang Taiji knew very well that Daming was just a little old man Sun Chengzong, and he was almost going to play Dajin Guo to death, if in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, even if Sun Chengzong was removed half a year later, Dajin Guo would not be able to hold on.

The situation in the occupation of the entire Liaodong improved, especially the battle of the Daling River, but the problem is that Sun Chengzong, the old man, is hateful, and the battle of the Daling River is nominally won by the Dajin Kingdom, but the problem is that their Dajin Kingdom has not gained any benefits.

The military rations were burned by Zhang Chun, and Dalinghe Fort City was an abandoned city without a grain of grain, but nearly 20,000 surrendered troops, but this was just more than 20,000 mouths waiting to be fed.

After Cheng Shijie occupied southern Liaoning, large-scale land reclamation was the most regrettable decision made by Dajin State, if he had known that Cheng Shijie was so difficult, he had just landed in southern Liaoning and had an unstable foothold, and he would do his best to kill him.

But he was too greedy, thinking about two or three million mu of grain, and led the elite of the Eight Banners, but Dajin lost the most critical battle.

The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and when the battle came to this point, Dajin Guo lost all his family money, and he didn't say anything, and he was beaten half to death by Cheng Shijie. Now they are even more threatened by Cheng Shijie, but they can't beat Ning Haijun.

When the ministers were tired of arguing, Huang Taiji sighed helplessly and said, "Is there a way to restrain the artillery and firearms of the Ning Navy?" ”

The ministers stared wide-eyed, all of them saying that they were tired and didn't want to speak.

Huang Taiji roared a little annoyed: "Could it be that the fifty or sixty thousand elites of the powerful Dajin Kingdom can't even do this?" Could it be that Dajin, who has a division of fifty or sixty thousand tigers and wolves, can only wait to die alive, and there is no way at all? ”

Dai Shan said with a bitter face: "King Khan is angry, it's not that the minions can't do their best, they really can't do it!" The Ning Navy's artillery was extremely fast, and even if all the minions were exhausted, they would not be able to rush in front of them...... Besides, they are very strong, and it is really very difficult to defeat them! ”

Duoduo also said: "Yes, King Khan, their firearms shoot not only fast, but also far, and their soldiers are not afraid of death, no matter how they fight, they can't beat them!" ”

There is another reason that the ministers dare not say.

The fierce generals of the Dajin Kingdom, such as Amin, Mang Gurtai, Abatai, and Derge, their defeat was simply because the Ning Navy was too strong, and the method of killing people with a knife was what you fat Lao Ba was best at.

In other words, when the Dajin Kingdom was victorious, Huang Taiji could use his prestige to suppress all opposition voices, but the problem was that with the defeat of Liaoyang, Huang Taiji's prestige was not as good as before.

Especially the old fourteenth Dorgon, how does he look at Huang Taiji and how it is not pleasing to the eye.

What Huang Taiji didn't know was that the current Liaodong had entered the era of industrialization, and the development of Liaodong was extremely fast every day, especially with the emergence of the steam engine, the development of Liaodong would be faster.

The technicians located in the Liaodong Gun Bureau have solved the problem of barrel rifling, in other words, Cheng Shijie's required rifle has a long range, which can accurately shoot the enemy's rifle within the range of one to two hundred steps, and it is about to be successfully mass-produced.

Moreover, the advent of steam engine trains will keep the traditional cavalry away from the stage of history.

Of course, Huang Taiji and Jiannu's headache was not Ning Haijun's thunderbolt and artillery, with the power of thunderbolt and artillery, it could certainly cause heavy casualties to Jiannu.

But the problem is that if there is no trench warfare tactics of the Ning Navy, if they are on the Great Plains, they can also take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry, and they can also use their lives to rush to the front of the Ning Navy.

However, what gave them the most headache was actually the trench warfare tactics of the Ning Navy.

When Huang Taiji was in despair, Fan Wencheng said: "King Khan, the slave has an idea!" ”

"What?"

"We can give back to others the way we do!"

Fan Wencheng smiled faintly: "The trench tactics of the Ning Navy are not too complicated, we can learn from them to dig trenches and build chest walls, and see how the Ning Navy breaks through this kind of defense line, if the Ning Navy can easily break through, we can learn the tactics of the Ning Navy and deal with the Ning Navy in turn!" ”

"Wonderful!"

Huang Taiji was overjoyed and said: "Just do what Fan Qing said!" ”

With Fan Wencheng's proposal, a feasible plan was pointed out to Huang Taiji and all the slaves, so he smashed the pot and sold iron, and Jiannu still built a batch of shovels and let the Jiannu dig trenches.

The tactics of trenches and fortifications are not too technically difficult, even if the scientific and technological level of Jiannu is backward, they can also learn seventy-seven eighty-eight according to the way of the Ning Navy.

In this way, a trench about 15 kilometers long, under the painstaking excavation of Jiannu's clothed minions, quickly took shape, forming a line of defense dominated by trenches and breastwork.

A Niu Lu Zhen Jiannu cavalry began to cross the deep river, that is, to cross the default border with the Ning navy.

If in the past, a Niu Lu's cavalry dared to attack the 10,000 Ming army, but now they have more than 300 horsemen, but like thieves, they quietly take advantage of the night to cross the river.

It was just that it didn't go well, and just as they had just crossed it, they saw a devastating firework rising in the distance.

Fireworks exploded in the air, followed by another in the distance.

These Jiannu cavalry looked at this scene and said dumbfounded: "The reaction is too fast, right?" ”

The Jiannu cavalry was found near Longgangshan Town, and the news was sent to Jinzhou City as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Ning Navy, who had long been suffocated, quickly assembled.

In their eyes, Jiannu is silver for nothing. (End of chapter)
