Chapter 841 Owl Riders Fight to Death (Part 2)
Since it was the elegant joy of the palace sacrifices in the past, the solemnity and grandeur of the audience naturally made many viewers present amazed and amazed; the only thing that disapproved was probably Zhou Huaian. After all, after watching the visual impact of so many group performances in later generations, there was only a little curiosity-like freshness left.
"Does Langjun dislike this kind of scene?"
However, the girl around her noticed it and asked softly and appropriately:
"That's not. The palace joy that has been passed down through the past dynasties is naturally extraordinary and colorful. It's just that I can't understand the people who are short-sighted."
Zhou Huaian said slightly:
"Langjun..."
"Master..."
"Grandmaster..."
When everyone around him, including the girls, could inevitably feel a sense of ridiculousness and speechlessness. If this great governor who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable and can always come up with unexpected new things, and can also be a short-sighted evaluation, then how many people in the world dare to claim to be a well-educated person?
Even if Middle-earth still cannot find the source and source to be clinged to, some people have begun to speculate in private whether this person was a descendant of an ancient family who had been living overseas since ancient times, so he was able to develop such a well-versed and modern pattern and insight into the contemporary pattern and insight. Therefore, some people suddenly began to wonder whether this represents a certain literary and artistic trend?
Fortunately, the opening performance did not last long, and the selected program was ushered in; although it was just some local singing and dancing musical arts, it was much more interesting and appropriate than the solemn and solemn sacrificial joy that made people dare not give out; Zhou Huaian also began to work on site to process some documents in a lively atmosphere.
Then, Liu Tang, who had been ordained and had to hold a order in Guangjiao Temple in Jiangling, now stayed by his Dharma name Zhizhang and served as one of the consultants monks, whispered:
"The Grand Governor, the commander Gao from the north and Meng Shaoyin came here. The Xin Dynasty hopes to buy more firearms...
"Sell, why not, continue to sell,"
Zhou Huaian set the tone lightly. Of course, he was relieved to be confident that the confidence in selling outdated and old firearms for the Great Qi court in the Guanzhong area was based on the continuous military technological innovation and the steady growth of corresponding production capacity.
For example, the miniaturization of explosives has finally been made, which is an enhanced version of the power of small individual soldiers throwing explosive bombs from the Flying Fire Thunder (Hale Rocket).
Because the ignition tube detonates the inner core black gunpowder to stimulate the binary explosion stroke configuration of the outer ring nitrified (cassava) starch, it is matched with a grooved-line projectile uniformly forged by brittle cast iron; while the procurement cost slightly increases, it also greatly increases the power of the explosion.
At least the R&D personnel were forced to eat pork and mutton with the smell of gunpowder and metal debris for several months. The new explosive bomb was no longer thrown out like the original product and it was fried into several petals of varying sizes. The distance between points could only rely on the accompanying killing of air wave shock waves and explosions, but there were real fragments flying around the fan.
Moreover, when needed, you can also put a prefabricated cast iron shell to increase the number and range of fragments, or transform it through a little means to turn into fixed-point explosives such as companion, hair and trigger. It can be said that the prospects for use are very wide and the market demand is strong.
On the other hand, after the processing and production process of flintlock rifles had sufficient accumulation, another rotary fast gun was naturally invented; the most critical parts including gunpowder, body tube/propeller wheel and compression spring machine have achieved technical breakthroughs.
Therefore, the final thing made is actually the combination of the bullet wheel of the revolver and the rear-mounted fire hat rifle in later generations.
Because there is no way to use the best sealed copper iron shell and striker base, we can only use band-shaped tin foil particle fire caps similar to those of later generations of guns and toy gunpowder guns to directly trigger the pulp inside the ignition round wheel to form a hard shell, which is easy to be difficult to clean.
So, you simply don’t do any expectations and plans for loading after one round, and you have to clean up the expectations and plans for loading on the spot; instead, let the soldiers directly install more than a dozen pre-installed bullet wheels through their specially made shoulders, back and waist and abdomen straps; after making one set, you will be done in one go.
Anyway, the enemy who really has the chance to get caught up in these first few rounds of shooting will either risk their lives to rush in front of them to enter the stage of close combat, or have been defeated and fled on the spot due to serious damage. There is no room for the firepower to continue to exert it;
In this way, although the runner and the breeze are not closed enough, and some gunpowder gas always leaks, the range is half shorter than that of other standard long guns; it can rely on the front and rear relay replacement weapons and bullet wheels to create dense barrage similar to those of later semi-automatic weapons in a short time after the gunfire range of fifty to twenty or thirty steps.
Of course, as a by-product of the entire small-scale mass production process of the experimental road, it is some rotary hand guns that serve as a small number of trial precision product lines. Because the volume and pipe diameter have been greatly reduced, the counterweight and internal and external process deviations that are insignificant compared to the standard long gun also require manual correction and polishing and leveling.
At least in terms of the appearance and outline of this kind of thing, the revolver has already taken shape in the later Western-style film; it seems that the barrel clamp is slightly thicker and heavier because of the limited material; without metal shells and bottom fire, reloading the bullet wheel is also a troublesome; so it is better to load several bullet wheels with paper bags and tin fire hats in advance as a pre-replacement.
However, as the corresponding security personnel or the middle and lower-level military officers, there is no problem with self-defense weapons used for close emergency response. So this time, a batch of new products were specially produced. After the graduation of the large lecture hall, it was distributed to the new generals as a sign and commemoration of a certain identity.
In this way, as the early mass-produced fire gate gun, the flint gun and the front-mounted flint gun will naturally enter the updated sequence. According to the original plan, it is to re-equip it to the third-line garrison team or patrol team.
Now that Huang Chao is interested, you might as well take a break and renovate it and go north. According to the previous examples of eliminating old weapons, it is better to go to Huang Chao at a good price. Even some old cannons equipped with pre-installed early cannons can be sold as designated top priority projects.
Anyway, after these things left the gunpowder, they were just scrap copper and iron to scare people. Zhou Huaian was not very worried. Just relying on the quality of the rebels in the pass, they would produce a technology tree for gunpowder out of thin air, and raise raw materials to help in a short time to establish a production system.
Not to mention the risk of technological spread after the corresponding equipment is seized by the local government. In this way, the business of paid maintenance and gunpowder supply alone will be a stable long-term income and input. The only thing that is to worry about is whether the other party can provide sufficient financial resources or materials as the transaction price?
At least according to the various treasures circulating and selling privately on Jiangling market, as well as the scale of gold and silver items constantly flowing into it, it seems that it is not a problem at present.
However, the news sent in a hurry at the next moment made Zhou Huaian frown.
"What? The signs of an epidemic in Huainan have begun to appear?"
Then he carefully read the appendix and the subsequent report, but he let out a big sigh. At least the types of plagues in this era have not yet evolved and mutated new things that have emerged in Chengdu with the development of human activities and medicine for thousands of years in later generations.
According to local medical and health personnel in Suijun and Tunzhuang, sampling and on-site analysis were conducted nearby. The main ones were cholera and typhoid fever, which had a short attack cycle and obvious symptoms in ancient times.
As long as the potential pollution sources such as water sources, soil, soil, and personnel can be discovered and controlled in a timely manner, they can completely follow the mature experience and countermeasures accumulated in later generations, and then targeted isolation and blockade and follow-up treatment through the strict Taiping Army's organization and management system.
Of course, this requires more additional investment in manpower and materials. This is an inevitable and the result of local governments not being able to take chances. Why can the plague at the end of the dynasty in history be rampant? In some ways, it is the result of the complete out of control of the lower-level governments.
Otherwise, in the early stages of the relative dynasty, although the ancients might not understand the principles and causes of the disease, they could still use relatively strict traffic blockades and isolation methods in settlement areas; and even set fire to the epidemic area to curb the collateral damage. In the end, they waited for the epidemic to lose enough carriers or the survivors to produce antibodies and then disappeared naturally.
Therefore, the so-called "fallen hammer" laissez-style group epidemic prevention in later generations is nothing more than the capitalist government's desperate situation and unintentional regaining the wisdom of ancient Chinese people.
At least, compared with the cost and social panic impact since the spread of the epidemic to Jiangnan, these human and material efforts are nothing. After all, there is no well-connected highway network in this era, nor is there a thousand-mile highway plane. Just pay attention to checking the passing and crossing ships on the river.
Of course, the epidemic prevention measures and measures that can be achieved in the Huainan occupied area are limited to local immigrant villages and key control areas stationed by the Taiping Army. Moreover, most of the local renovation work is being carried out by the Third Detachment, which will inevitably be affected.
There was another scholar named Chen Shang Yan'an, who took advantage of the situation and put forward a new suggestion; it was to combine the epidemic prevention work with the local purge movement of the third detachment, and take advantage of the prevention and control effects formed by this epidemic, which may accelerate the efforts of the local control and ruling order with half the effort.
Although this idea is somewhat in line with the needs and speculation, and it really lacks sufficient specific implementation methods and only has a dry idea. However, Zhou Huaian felt that there is something feasible.
At least according to the past experience of small-scale epidemic areas in Chuzhiguo in Liangling, Hunan and other places, it is difficult to estimate that the Taiping Army, which can successfully control the epidemic, can obtain bonuses for reputation and change among the survivors afterwards.
At least during the development of Lingxi, the large number of Shanyi Tumen around the villages were relocated to the Taiping Army to be naturalized. On the one hand, it was certainly an attraction of force and labor benefits, but also included the ability to receive more treatment after becoming sick or have more opportunities for newborns to survive.
Therefore, military investment with sufficient firm execution and violent means is also one of the essential prerequisites. However, in this way, Yang Xingmin, who was besieged in Yangzhou City, was able to escape the disaster.
