evil slave

Dai Zi, courtesy name Kai, nicknamed Gengyan, native of Zhejiang, in the 13th year of Kangxi, Geng Jingzhong invaded Zhejiang from Fujian, in response to Wu Sangui's rebellion against the Qing, Kangxi then dispatched Prince Kang Jie as the commanding general to lead the Qing army to Fujian and Zhejiang to conquer Geng Jingzhong . 【】Dai Zi was recruited by Jie to join the army when the Qing army passed by his hometown.When Kangxi met him for the first time, he asked him to write "Spring Day Morning Poems", which was appreciated, and he was awarded the official post of lecturer in the Imperial Academy.

Dai Zi is very smart and knowledgeable. He has certain attainments in painting and law, and is also proficient in rhythm.In addition, he is also proficient in the algorithm of heaven, and wrote "Ten Strategies for River Control".And it also has a very high ability in research and manufacturing technology. Kangxi once asked him if he understood the principle of foreign-made French Lang, and Dai Zi quickly developed it.But these are secondary, what makes Zhao Qiang remember this person and impresses him is his amazing ability to make firearms.

According to Zhao Qiangguo's historical records, Dai Zi once made lianzhu bird guns and dedicated them to the Qing government.This bird gun is a firearm that can shoot 28 rounds in a row.According to Ji Yun and Ji Xiaolan's records, he learned from Dai Zi's nephew that this kind of bird gun is shaped like a lute, and the gunpowder and lead are stored in the part called the spine of the gun. It automatically falls into the barrel, and the second machine will act accordingly, and the flint will stimulate the blunderbuss to fire, and so on. After 28 shots, the gunpowder and lead need to be reloaded.This is the only automatic shooting weapon recorded in the history of the country, and it is not an exaggeration to call this "28 blunderbuss" with a machine gun.However, in the prosperous Qing Dynasty of Kangxi, the "wise" monarch, not only was this advanced weapon not widely available, but it did not even have a chance to be practical. It is really embarrassing that the unadvanced front-loading gun opened the door to the Qing Dynasty.

Dai Zi's talent is not limited to making quasi-machine guns like the "28 blunderbuss". It can be said that any firearm he has access to, whether it is domestic or foreign, can be imitated immediately at a glance. This kind of "cottage" I am afraid that the military industry of future generations will be ashamed of themselves.There was a Westerner who boasted to Kangxi about a firearm called a pangu shotgun. Afterwards, Kangxi also thought it was very good, so he asked Dai Zi to imitate it. As a result, Dai Zi produced many such guns in less than a month.The so-called pangut shotgun should refer to a gun with a boring thread in the barrel, that is, a rifled thread. Under the technological conditions at that time, Dai Zi was able to manufacture a barrel with a boring thread in less than a month, which not only amazed the world, Zhao Qiang was even more stunned.

Dai Zi's self-made firearms are not only convenient and practical in style, but also of good quality. According to historical records, each firearm he made can hit a hundred steps away.In the Qing Dynasty and previous dynasties, measurement was not measured by meters, centimeters, etc. used by later generations, but by steps, feet, and feet.The so-called hundred steps converted into meters is between 85 meters and 90 meters.Both the Qing army guns and the Russian guns used by the Guanning army can’t reach a shooting distance of 80 meters. The Qing army’s guns can only be fired at a distance of [-] steps, otherwise they cannot hit the target. The Russian army is slightly better. , but it can only reach sixty steps, which is half the distance of a hundred steps. It is conceivable that the firearms held by one of the two sides in the war can press the opponent for tens of meters!With the firearm made by Dai Zi and the combination of three-stage shooting, as long as the brain is not fooled, victory is only a matter of time.

In addition to firearms, Dai Zi's design and manufacturing capabilities in artillery are also impressive, and his most important contribution is the production of mother-child artillery.Zhao Qiang was particularly interested in this firearm design expert in the Qing Dynasty, so he knew a lot about his life.He knew that in the 19th year of Kangxi, Dai Zi was ordered to make a mother-child cannon, which is characterized in that it does not shoot ordinary iron or lead, but an explosive cannon, which is the "flowering" of later generations.After the mother and child were concocted, Kangxi went to watch his performance in person and named it "General Weiyuan".In the battle of Zhaomodo during the subsequent expedition to Galdan, the son and mother cannons showed their power. According to records, "Three cannons fell into the camp and achieved a great victory."

It is an exaggeration to say that the battle is won when three shots fall. However, it can be reasonably concluded that compared with the iron or lead artillery that fires a little bit of attack, the firearm with a larger attack coverage after the explosion is Works wonders against nomadic cavalry.There is a kind of camel formation in the Zhungeer Khan, which is quite effective in fighting on the grasslands, and it happens to be the effective target of the mother and child artillery.It's a pity that such a genius was dispatched to Tieling in the northeast by Kangxi.

Zhao Qiang didn't know too much about the specific reasons for Dai Zi's unjust case, but he knew that the cause of the incident was Nan Huairen's false accusation out of jealousy.There are two reasons why Nan Huairen is jealous. One is that before Dai Zi made the sky cannon, Kangxi first ordered Nan Huairen to make it, but "it took a year to make it", so Dai Zi made it, and Dai Zi made it. It was built in only eight days, which made Nan Huairen "ashamed and angry".The other is that Nan Huairen and Dai Zi had different opinions when compiling "Lu Lv Zhengyi", and Nan Huairen couldn't argue with Dai Zi.So Nan Huairen colluded with some people who had tried to blackmail Dai Zi but failed, and falsely accused him of having an affair with the East. As a result, Kangxi listened to one side's words and exiled Dai Zi outside the pass.

It was the 22nd year of Kangxi at this time, and it was the 29th year of Kangxi when Dai Zi was dispatched outside the customs. There are still seven years left. Now Dai Zi is still speaking in front of his Imperial Academy, but he is very frustrated as a lecturer, and has no time. Zhao Qiang has a personal experience of the dilemma of being unable to use all his abilities, just like when he just left school and wanted to do something big with ambitions, he ended up hitting walls everywhere.

With Dai Zi, there will be three-eyed guns, and there will be powerful cavalry; with Dai Zi, there will be 28 guns, and there will be powerful infantry; with Dai Zi, there will be mother-child artillery, and there will be powerful artillery.In short, as long as Dai Zi is there, the military production that Zhao Qiang expected is no longer a dream. From then on, he doesn't have to hold the lifeblood of weapons in the hands of foreigners, and he doesn't have to take a lot of money to be taken advantage of, and he doesn't have to be cautious in every battle , this person must be recruited, if not persuaded, he will be tied!Zhao Qiang slapped the table decisively, his eyes were indescribably frightening.

"Commander, Duo Lun Chan Hu Wanhu has a letter!"

Just when Zhao Qiang was thinking about Dai Zi and how to get him here, the guard outside the door reported softly.
