Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 614 Brothers, please support me
Jia Liu actually knows nothing about artillery, but the history of many street stalls and various film and television dramas tell him that artillery shells will definitely "blossom".

It means that it will explode when it is hit, and kill the enemy through shrapnel, instead of the big iron ball like the current one.

Solid bullets are effective for siege, but the effect of solid bullets in field battles is definitely not as strong as that of blooming bullets.

In my impression, during the first Opium War, Lin Zexu was very surprised when he saw the flowering ammunition used by foreigners, and wrote to Daoguang, saying that it was rare in the mainland, extremely miraculous, and extremely powerful, and he did not know how to make it.

From this, Jia Liu judged that the research and development of flowering bombs in the Qing Dynasty might have stopped long ago, so that later generations didn't even know what flowering bombs were. Therefore, he asked missile expert Wang Dagong and foreigners about the situation of flowering bombs.

What he didn't know was that the unfused bomb that Lin Zexu saw was actually the bomb used by the Ming Dynasty more than [-] years ago.

Even the style is exactly the same, that is, a hole is opened on the surface of the iron ball, and a twist is inserted into the small hole to detonate.After the explosion, the body of the ball scattered, and the iron sheets wrapped inside exploded like "a goddess scattered flowers", with a power of more than ten feet.

Relying on the artillery technology of the Ming Dynasty two 300 years ago, the British gentleman beat the Qing Empire to the knees and called Dad.

This incident also directly shows that the Qing government's rule over China is the degradation of civilization.

As with technology, so with human thought.

Lin Zexu, as No.1 in modern China who opened his eyes to see the world, was hailed as a national hero, but in fact during the Opium War, he behaved more like a messy Manchurian official, that is, he didn't know anything.

Thinking that foreigners can't bend their knees is a joke made by this man.

Confronting the enemy with filth is also the initiative of this one.

Of course, no one is perfect, and no gold is pure.

Right now, he can be regarded as Lin Zexu's predecessor. Jia Liu believes that under his leadership, Lin Zexu, who was not born at this time, will definitely grow into a true national hero.

Or, there is no more Lin Zexu in the world.

Because of historical changes, it affects the next generation.

There is even a sad history about the story of flower bombs.

Zuo Zongtang excavated more than a hundred bullets from a Ming Dynasty fort site when he was suppressing the rebellion in the northwest. , hold me proud of you for decades?"

Now, history repeats itself.

Of course, Jia Liu must focus on the development of flower bombs, and surpass Western countries in the manufacture of weapons.

Otherwise, how could he visit his great Paris, visit London, and talk and laugh on the Danube.

The sub-mother cannon mentioned by the leader of the Ministry of Internal Affairs originated from the branch of the Flang cannon in the Ming Dynasty. It was composed of a mother cannon and several sub-cannons, so it was called the sub-mother cannon.

To put it bluntly, it is a light artillery.

The sub-cannon is loaded with shotgun shells similar to those used by tiger squatting cannons, that is, a large number of iron pellets (stone pellets) and lead.

It is indeed like blooming when it is launched.

But this kind of "flowering" shell is fundamentally different from the "flowering cannon" that the governor wants.

Therefore, in order to comprehensively improve the Qing Dynasty's weapons production and manufacturing level, improve military equipment, and lay a solid foundation for early stealing and becoming the largest power as soon as possible, Jia Liu held an on-site military industry symposium.

Really spot on.

All Chinese and foreign experts in the Gun Bureau, including senior workers and minor workers, sat on the ground, and each was given a pen and three pieces of paper.

Jia Liu, who is the governor, did not ask to sit on a chair, but sat cross-legged on the ground with everyone.

This attitude first won the high approval of the large and small craftsmen present, including the few foreign experts who were forcibly kidnapped.

Afterwards, Wang Dagong wrote in his diary: ".In the young Tatar governor, I can't see any characteristics about the old officials of this empire. Instead, I feel very kind, his smile, his sincere language, and His pleading actions made me feel that this young governor is the future of the world and the true embodiment of civilization."

Chatted with the parents like chatter, asked the technical staff if they had any difficulties in life, whether their children had difficulties in going to school, whether their family members had difficulties in work, and instructed the relevant units to solve them immediately on the spot.

Jia Liu put forward three requirements to the hundreds of experts and technicians present, one is to develop artillery in an all-round way, the other is to develop muskets in an all-round way, and the third is to improve gunpowder in an all-round way.

Referred to as "three comprehensive".

Regarding the artillery manufacturing requirements, Jia Liu instructed that the local manufacturing level must be combined with the manufacturing level of Western countries, learn from each other's strengths, and strive to improve the Qing Dynasty's artillery manufacturing level by one or two within three years.

The specific details are the development of flowering shells, the development of lightweight artillery, and the concept of breech-loading guns.

As for the manufacture of firecrackers, Jia Liu's instructions were fast, ruthless and accurate.

Fast, that is, it is necessary to increase the charging speed of the musket. How to improve the method, Jia Liu gave the concept of custom loading.

That is to say, in the past, the charge was poured from the medicine bottle to the barrel, and the number of veterans could be counted, but the recruits might not be counted. If encountering an actual combat environment and being disturbed by psychological pressure, it is easy to have too much charge and cause the chamber to explode.If it is less, it will have no power at all.

Therefore, from now on, the Gun Bureau must find a way to package the gunpowder and subcontract it with waterproof kraft paper and oiled paper.

The other is to imaginatively encourage technicians to try to ignite the fire in other ways.

Now the firecrackers are ignited with matchlocks. This method of ignition is too slow, and secondly, the firecrackers cannot be used in rainy days.

"Bah!"

Jia Liu took out the two flints he had prepared in advance, sparked a spark in the eyes of everyone, and then asked with a smile if the fire blunderbuss could be equipped with flints, could this problem be solved.

"Of course, I'm just imagining, whether it can be done or not depends on your skills!"

In fact, what Jia Liu wants to talk about is whether you guys can help me make a gun. A real gun can be fired with a single trigger.

But he knows that this technology requires a strong industrial foundation. For example, springs cannot be made at the current level of technology.

More haste less speed.

He could only wait patiently for the seeds he sowed to slowly germinate and eventually grow into a towering tree. Only then would he be able to cross the sea with a gun in one hand and a wooden fish in the other.

Ruthless, that is, the firing of the firecrackers will be farther than in the past, and the lethality will also be improved.

What is accurate?
Jia Liu fetched a firecracker, squinted with one eye, and made a figurative movement.

It is to ask the Firearms Bureau to study the front sight of the firecracker, so that the firecracker can hit the enemy more accurately in individual combat in the future.

In addition, the concept of breech charge is also proposed, and the rifling is also mentioned.

To improve the power of gunpowder in an all-round way is to further purify the existing black powder, so that the experts of the Gun Bureau can use their brains to see if there is a way to make the power of gunpowder higher than in the past.

The governor said it in front, and the expert workers below carefully recorded it.

Those who can't write will listen attentively.

Jia Liu asked his second brother-in-law, Gao Delu, to provide sufficient research and development funds for the gun bureau. In addition to the existing technical personnel "invited" from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Manufacturing Office and the Jingshan Gun Bureau, he must also recruit relevant talents from all over the country. .

Foreign experts who can make clocks and watches must not be let go, and some Western technicians will be hired later.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of the Gunners Bureau and realize the modernization of Jia's new army's weapons as soon as possible, Jia Liu set up bonuses on the spot, ranging from small to large, with a scale of 200,000 taels.

For example, whoever can increase the power of gunpowder can receive 10,000 taels.

A bonus of 20,000 taels will be awarded immediately to whoever can create a breech-loaded gun.

In addition to bonuses, there are also rewards for real estate and land in the capital and Zhili, as well as corresponding crowns.

"Whether you are Bannermen, Han Chinese, Baoyi, or Westerners, as long as anyone can contribute to the development of the Qing Dynasty's guns, the governor, on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, can promise you one thing, that is, prosperity for generations!"

After the on-site meeting, Jia Liu asked his second brother-in-law Gao Delu not to interfere too much with the innovation of these technicians, and to have unlimited tolerance for test failures.

I really burned all the money, so I told my brother-in-law.

In short, it is to spare no effort, and even the province's efforts to ensure the scientific research and innovation of the Firearms Bureau and other units.

On the second day, they led a team to inspect the surrounding area of ​​the industrial park, which is the location of the new army barracks.

According to the plan, Jia Liu will train the new army in three towns in Tianjin, with a total force of 8000 people. Such a large new army size barracks must occupy a huge area, and the affairs involved in all aspects will inevitably be complicated.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, high-rise buildings start from the ground.

Therefore, Jia Liu had to choose the address of the barracks first.

After the new army is trained, in addition to ensuring the safety of the industrial park, it will also undertake the defense of Tianjin Port and the entire Tianjin government. If necessary, it will also undertake the important task of advancing from Tianjin to the capital.

Combining the requirements of these aspects, the new army camp must be selected in an area with convenient transportation.

Before inspecting the site selection, Jia Liu first came to Dagukou Tianjin Navy Division for inspection.

This is the second important military town he inspected as the governor of Zhili.

I always thought that the Tianjin Navy was a Green Battalion organization before, but I didn't expect that the Tianjin Navy turned out to be the Eight Banners Army.

Three years before Yongzheng, because the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners were good at riding and shooting, but not good at water warfare, the Qing army's navy stationed in various places were mainly green battalions.

Although the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties also established the Eight Banners Navy, they did not form a scale in the end.

In the third year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng hoped to establish a powerful Eight Banners naval force across the sea to make up for the shortcomings of the Eight Banners' "combat order", and also serve as the Eight Banners mobile force to be transferred to coastal areas and rivers at any time to deal with emergencies.

In this way, Tianjin, the gateway to the capital, naturally became the place where this idea began to be implemented, and thus the Tianjin Eight Banners Navy was born.

The Tianjin navy currently has 2000 sailors, 6 coordinators, 32 assistant leaders, and 32 defense officers. All officers and soldiers are drawn from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, equipped with 32 large and small warships, and several sampans.

The navy station is also called Tianjin New City by the local people, and nearly ten thousand people from the Eight Banners families live here.

The purpose of Jia Liu's inspection of the Eight Banners Navy is actually to abolish this useless navy and completely control Tianjin's coastal defense in the hands of the Governor of Zhili.

Nominally, the Tianjin Eight Banners Navy is not under the control of the governor of Zhili, but this navy is in Jialiu's territory, and Lao Fu and his secret agreement allow him to expand the escort navy and train sailors in Tianjin. Even if the abolition of the Eight Banners Navy would cause a backlash from some people in the capital, Jia Liu decided to do it beforehand, and then slowly litigate with the capital.

It's a thousand words and ten thousand, but the establishment of 2000 flag soldiers, it is impossible for the old rich or the perverted man in Beijing to turn against his little six sons because of this matter.

After winning this Eight Banners navy, Jia Liu planned to further rectify another navy in Tianjin, that is, Dagukou Shuiying.

Then the water battalion was combined with the two battalion guards that he arranged to protect the industrial park, and then in the name of expanding the navy, the new three towns and the new army were incorporated into the navy management system.

As for why naval officers and soldiers have to practice land warfare, artillery warfare, and cavalry, that is of course the work of the Navy Marine Corps.

Adhering to the spirit of carefully sailing for thousands of years, Jia Liu put on his armor secretly before arriving at the Eight Banners Navy camp, that is, his chest was stuffed with steel plates and covered with silk, just like the day he entered the palace to see the fourth devil.

In addition, in order to suppress the Eight Banners navy that might cause trouble and rebellion, the guard battalion was secretly mobilized to stand by, and then the third battalion led by Ye Qing, the general soldier of Tianjin, was dispatched as the governor.

With the addition of the accompanying 500 guards, it is more than enough to deal with a bunch of dandy bannermen.

Ye Qing, the general soldier of Tianjin, was recommended by Jia Liu to the Ministry of War. He performed outstandingly in suppressing bandits in Linqing and suppressing the Rehe rebels in Xiling. It can be said that as long as Jia Liu does not raise the anti-flag right now, Ye Qing is his only destiny. From.

Therefore, after receiving the governor's secret order, Ye Qing came overnight with 1700 soldiers from the third battalion without saying a word.

Whether they are officers or soldiers, these three battalions have all been kind to "Prime Minister Jia Jia", so it is said that Mr. Jia Jia is in trouble, and the officers and soldiers are very motivated.

After Ye Qing arrived, Jia Liu warmly received the delegation of officers from the Tianjin Green Camp headed by Ye Qing, shook hands one by one, and even called out the names of several Qian Zong and Ba Zong.

After signaling Ye Qing and the others to take their seats, Jia Liu got straight to the point and said boldly, "There is nothing else to do with calling the brothers over, but to ask the brothers to stand up for Ben Du."

Support the scene?

Mr. Jia Jia's extremely down-to-earth rhetoric immediately resonated with the officers of the Tianjin Green Camp. Many people stood up on the spot and stated that as long as the Governor speaks, the brothers will go up the knife mountain and down the frying pan!

"No way, no way,"

Jia Liu smiled, and then told the officers of the Tianjin Green Camp that he wanted to lay off the incompetent Eight Banners navy.In order to prevent some people from the Eight Banners Navy from taking risks during the dismantling process and gathering crowds to make trouble, it is hoped that the officers and soldiers of the Tianjin Green Camp will come in handy at critical times.

In the end, not to mention everyone in Tianjin Lvying rubbing their hands, even Ye Qing rarely said: "Please give me your orders."

The officers and soldiers have the same attitude and are not afraid of the Eight Banners at all.

This is the side effect of the four-provincial coalition forces annihilating the Rehe Eight Banners.

That battle broke the myth that the Eight Banners were invincible!

In that battle, the officers and soldiers of the green battalion fought with arrogance!
That battle also played out the pattern of Mr. Jia leading the Green Camp!

Jia Liu got up happily, looked around at the green battalion officers and soldiers who supported him very much, clapped his hands, and immediately brought in more than a dozen silver boxes.

In addition to the 20 taels for each officer, the officers and soldiers who came also received five taels per person.

There's no way, who made Mr. Jia act so openly.

No matter who it is, as long as he does something for him, he will not return empty-handed.

The total expenditure is only a few thousand taels, which is not worth mentioning compared to controlling the power of the Tianjin Navy.

After deploying everything, the Governor's team arrived at the Eight Banners Navy.

As soon as he got off his horse, Jia Liu didn't say anything to the naval officers who came over after hearing the news, but when he ordered the flag to be sent out, he said to order the troops to review.

Some Xietong said that Mr. Dutong is not there, and if you want to inspect it, you must come in person.

In the end, Jia Liu was shocked on the spot when he took out the king's order flag. Under the prestige of the governor, the Manchu and Mongolian generals had no choice but to bite the bullet and summon their subordinates to start training.

As a result, the Eight Banners Navy, which Yongzheng placed high hopes on, had many problems. The training of officers and soldiers was slack, and the drills were just a formality, which was similar to other funeral processions.

If it doesn't work on land, the governor will look at the sea.

There was a jaw-dropping scene. After the Eight Banners sailors boarded the ship, let alone drilled the formation and fired bombardments, it was difficult to even drive the ship out of the port.

Jia Liu looked bored, and the only thing he got was the [-]-odd warships, so he blew the horn and assembled all the officers and soldiers, directly announcing the disbandment of the Tianjin Eight Banners Navy. Officers, soldiers and their families who are willing to return to the capital will be given severance pay, and those who are unwilling to return to the capital will be given severance pay. The ones are placed in situ.

The so-called local resettlement has a high probability of turning the flag into the Han Dynasty and the army into the peasantry.

As soon as this order came out, there was a commotion in the school grounds, and then there was a sound of cursing.

Some scolded the Governor for not having any trouble, some scolded the Governor for not being able to hang up, some scolded the Governor for half-closing the door
All the officers and soldiers accompanying Jia Liu glared at the foul language.

Jia Liu was not annoyed, and calmly looked at Dutong Changjiu, the Tianjin Eight Banners navy who had just rushed from the brothel after hearing the news: "Master Dutong, do you have any doubts?"

"Yes, of course there is!"

Chang Jiu, who was in his forties with a fat stomach, was furious, pointed at Jia Liu's nose and cursed: "You Han army dares to cut off my Manchuria, I'll fuck your ancestors!"

Chang Dutong is very angry, he is a first-rank Dutong, and his surname is Jia, but a second-rank governor, what kind of big-tailed wolf is he here.

Jia Liu pinched his nose.

He is basically immune to such attacks.

Because he fucks himself if necessary.

　These chapters are relatively boring. The author’s writing is boring, and the readers’ reading is boring. Fortunately, they have been streamlined. In terms of industrial construction, Mr. Jia is in charge, that is, macro instructions.

　　If there are specific details, the author will not implement them one by one for Mr. Jia.

　　Hope readers know.
