The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 167 Can a girl serve in the army as an artilleryman?
"The operation mechanism of the magistrate's division in the prefecture is based on the method in the town. It is organized by the chief judge and selects thirty prefectural judges to discuss the case. However, the magistrate's division does not directly accept the cases. All the cases it receives are handled by the town after the judgment. It is a case where the Justice Division feels that the decision is unclear or the parties involved appeal the decision. In addition, the Justice Division convenes all the magistrates and judges to review the cases decided by the town on a regular basis. If more than half of the magistrates do not agree with the town's verdict, If the superior is decisive, the case can be remanded for retrial. Under my government, the Lord of Yungu City, all cases will be finalized after the second trial, and the parties involved are not allowed to sue again!
Uncle, on your side, for the time being, you will concurrently serve as the Chief Counselor of the Counselor Council of the Yungu City Lord's Mansion and the Superintendent of the City Lord's Mansion.As the Chief Counselor, my main job is to organize and convene the Counselor's Council according to my arrangements, sort out the main topics to be discussed before the Counselor's Council is held, and communicate the charter of the matters discussed with other counselors in advance, so as to Improving the efficiency of the counselor meeting is my first military and political assistant.

The duties of the chief judge are, first of all, to provide professional guidance to the government judges and members of the town council, so that they understand what needs to be considered in what they do and how similar cases are decided in other places.At the same time, relevant professional lessons are also provided to the patrol department in investigating and reviewing cases, so that they have professional capabilities when investigating and reviewing cases.

The second step is to conduct an audit of the cases that have been discontinued by the Legal Department and the town.After the audit, those who feel that the verdict is indeed unfair will be reported to me for a decision. If I do not agree with the verdict, the City Lord will order the results of the two trials to be overturned and a retrial will be held.If something delays me here, the Chief Supervisor can also summon the counselors in the government to discuss the case together. If half of the counselors agree to retry the case, unless I have a different opinion, it will be my decision and a retrial can be ordered!In addition, if the Patrol and Penalty Department does not agree with the town or government's decision on the case, it can also report the case to the Chief Supervisor for audit. "

When he first expressed his opinions on adjustments, the second uncle's face turned green, thinking that Song Yingkui was going to completely take away his power.When he heard the words behind him, his expression recovered a little.Although this arrangement does deprive him of a lot of power, fortunately, in name, he has secured the second-in-command position in the Yungu City Lord's Mansion.It doesn't sound as harsh as before.

The reason why the second uncle was given the position of Chief Counselor was because Song Yingkui felt that the second uncle was not very useful. Letting him do specific things would easily conflict with the current system's mechanism, so he simply gave him a title. Let’s wait for the errands that are greater than the real power.

As for the arrangement of concurrently serving as the chief judge, on the one hand, it is for the sake of the second uncle's face, so as not to make people think that he is not qualified to be a judge and has been completely dismissed from his position.On the other hand, there is indeed a need for such a position to check and balance the judicial system and prevent the power of judicial review from being completely ignored.The requirements for retrial are very strict, and the Chief Supervisor cannot decide the retrial alone. This greatly limits the second uncle's authority to intervene in the trial of the case. It is estimated that he will not be able to retry the case easily!

After struggling for several days, I finally sorted out the issues caused by the appointment of my second uncle as a judge.Song Yingkui was very tired. Everyone said it was good to be in power, but who could understand the hard work involved?He is just a small warlord in a big place, but he seems to be as troublesome and unavoidable as running a serious political power.From the military, administration, economy to justice and infrastructure construction, everything must be done and it must be done in a good manner.It’s really not as comfortable as being a craftsman!
Song Yingkui, who was irritated by the ruin, took his apprentices to the firearms factory in the factory area to relax.Before time travel, he felt that dealing with machinery was the most boring and boring thing, but now he feels that only by doing things related to machinery can he feel comfortable and relax his body and mind.If I had had this awareness, I would have already achieved some success at work before traveling through time, right?

When leading troops to fight in the Sunan Grassland, Song Yingkui felt that there was a problem with the rate of fire of field artillery, and that only light field artillery was not enough to cope with all current battlefield conditions.Since coming back, I have been thinking about how to solve these two problems.

To increase the rate of fire, in addition to standardizing artillery operating procedures to maximize artillery loading efficiency, the best way is to change the front-loading cannon to a rear-loading cannon and use preloaded shells to solve the problem.

Compared with muskets, it is less difficult to develop breech-loading guns.In real historical time and space, breech-loading cannons appeared relatively early. In the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a breech-loading cannon of the Fo Lang machine gun.Although the Folan cannon suffered a great loss in range due to air tightness issues, its rate of fire was greatly improved.

After all, the cannon is larger than the gun, so there is more room for maneuver, and there are more ways to think of it. "The biggest difficulty for potters and post-casting guns is not the gun body, but the size gap between the shells and the guns. In this way, the gap between the cartridge and the gun is small, and the gun can be as fine as possible. At the same time, the versatility of the pre-installed cartridges is guaranteed, and the time required for operating the cannon can be saved a lot.” In the cannon casting field, Song Yingkui talked to the pottery blacksmith who was in charge of casting the cannon When casting breech-loading guns, special attention needs to be paid to the technical requirements.

For the breech-loading cannons cast by the Cannon Foundry, the technical idea adopted is to cast the second half of the cannon body thicker, and only cast half a circle at the place where the shells are to be loaded at the end.Then cast a barrel for gunpowder. When shooting, first put the shell wrapped in tarpaulin into the gun body from the back, and then put the gunpowder tube into the gun body after the plug is tight.The rest of the operation is no different from that of the front-loading gun.

The most important technological requirement of this method when casting a cannon is that the cannon chamber must have a ring platform, so that when the cartridge is put in, it fits well with the cannon bore.In addition, the production accuracy of the gun chamber and the cartridge is required. If the accuracy is not good, the pre-loaded cartridge will not fit into the gun chamber or the size of the cartridge will not fit into the chamber. The gap is too large, and the air leakage is serious!

"Sir, we use the caliper to measure carefully, and we will ensure that the cartridge and the cannon are in close contact." Blacksmith Tao also knows that if the error is too large, the cannon will not be usable.

"That's good! During this period of time, you can cast a few more breech-loading guns and cartridges. After finishing the one-piece test gun, see if it is suitable for use, and if there are any deficiencies in it, so as to summarize and improve." Since Tao Blacksmith realized the importance of precision Sex, Song Yingkui will not emphasize too much, and will summarize the relevant technical issues after large-scale testing.

Seeing that Song Yingkui didn't mention the relevant technical issues again, Blacksmith Tao hesitated for a long time and said, "Sir, I have something embarrassing to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Tell me! Is there anything we can't say directly between us?"

"It's like this. My Dalan has been doing blacksmithing work with me. After I arrived at the cannon factory, she also helped with some things. It's just that this baby has recently become obsessed with cannon drilling. One day, she was thinking about it absentmindedly. She She also begged me, asking me to beg Your Majesty to be kind and let her serve as a gunner in the army. What do you mean by this? A girl from a family wants to join the army. I wonder if you can ask girls to serve as gunners in the army? ?”
