None of them knew that the original history of Pan Yaming was designed by someone, but time had to go to the 19th century. It was invented by a famous mechanic named Whitworth.

At the beginning, his idea was to cast cannons using the hexagonal technique. What he proposed was the principle of polygon rotation, but because of technical reasons, he could not be achieved, so hexagons could only be achieved. However, his suggestion was rejected by the English military and used guns.

As a result, during the Civil War, the sharpshooters of the Southern Army used this "Whitworth Rifle" equipped with a polygonal barrel and achieved great success on the battlefield. They even sniped General John Sedgwick, the highest general who died in the war, at a distance of 910 meters. What's funny is that the general saw the blocker at that time, but he didn't care. He also said this classic sentence to his subordinates: "At such a long distance, they can't even attack an elephant."

In its original history, this gun was defined by later generations as the earliest truly sniper rifle.

The corresponding artillery is naturally a hexagonal artillery. The representative of this artillery was a seventy-pound Whitworth naval gun in its original history. It adopts Whitworth's unique hexagonal barrel and a bore loading design, with a caliber of five inches (140 mm) and an ultimate range of more than 2,700 meters.

Of course, on this plane, Pan Yaming could be said to have invented this musket by chance. The experimental results and data were immediately reported to the emperor far away in the capital through a chat group through a chat group.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he was very happy and immediately issued an order to commend him. How much role can this high-precision artillery gun can play is far more clear to him than ordinary people. You should know that there was a game called CSS in the later generations. If there was a powerful sniper, the battlefield could be completely defeated.

In naval battles, if there are such high-precision artillery, the enemy will be more desperate! With this hexagonal artillery, Emperor Chongzhen will be more confident in the future decisive battle in Nanyang.

But it is a bit regrettable that this hexagonal gun is not easy to build, just like the previous rifled guns. However, it is good to improve, and he doesn't care much about it. Of course, this kind of gun must be strictly controlled, especially if it is hexagonal guns. It is not good to build too many, and it is almost done by special forces, snipers and other troops.

From this incident, Emperor Chongzhen also saw a fact that he was not omnipotent.

For him, he cared about breech artillery. Therefore, the one he assigned to the Beijing Military Affairs Bureau and the Military Weapon Bureau was also studying breech artillery firearms. For example, the Fran machine cannon is a cannon that is made by the mother-and-child gun, which can be regarded as breech artillery. In terms of firing rate, it has an advantage that a breech artillery cannot compare with.

In the capital, because of Emperor Chongzhen's personal guidance, no one thought about it from other aspects and solved the problem. However, far away from Hoi An, a technology that was further developed than the present was invented. Although this technology has not changed much in its progress. These hexagonal guns are also a kind of rifled guns. However, at least it has not been improved.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was necessary to increase research funds so that research institutes in various places could conduct research and development based on actual conditions.

After he gave instructions on this matter, he no longer worried. After all, this is just a detail, and now he is preparing to leave Beijing.

However, this time I left Beijing, I did not go privately, but went on a serious tour with the emperor's ceremonial guard.

Concubine Hai Lanzhu and Concubine Tian are pregnant and cannot follow them. The queen didn't want to come at first, saying that she needed her presidency in the harem, but she was still called out by Emperor Chongzhen. She is only in her twenties, so why should she be so rigid? Do you have to die of old age in the palace and not come out for a walk?

Logically speaking, the scene was a big deal when the emperor and the empress went out together. But Emperor Chongzhen did not want to disturb the people, so he would keep everything simple. Even so, there was a scale of about a thousand people.

After leaving the capital, Emperor Chongzhen took the queen who couldn't help but be happy and inspected the railway in Tongzhou to the capital. Minister of Transportation Liu Mao personally accompanied him to introduce the relevant situation. Although there were reports on time, this was an on-site introduction, and it was still different.

"Your Majesty, the first railway track is laid according to Your Majesty, mainly to gain experience. In addition, winter has just passed, so it has only been about half of it."

"The rails are enough, but a matter of stealing the rails has happened, and I have already dealt with them!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, turned to look at him and asked, "How to deal with it?"

Stealing railway tracks is a serious matter and must be dealt with seriously. Otherwise, if there are people who follow suit, there will be too many railway guerrillas and the train will not be able to drive.

"Even the seat, his family was detained and displayed in public." Liu Mao responded quickly.

The Baojia Law implemented in the early years of Chongzhen was punished for continuous sanitation. In other words, in this era, many more serious crimes were required for continuous sanitation.

Emperor Chongzhen was not soft-hearted and nodded, "Please send a new province, there are many people there."

The other side of Tianshan Mountain is the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to advance westward in the future. There are too few Han people now, so they must be enriched.

In fact, it is not just the Xin Province, but several other places. Therefore, there are very few prisoners in the Ming Dynasty. Except for a few death row, most of them have been exiled to these marginal provinces. Many prisons have no people, and mice can hold meetings.

After Liu Mao’s introduction, he learned that the railway from Tongzhou to the capital would probably not be officially opened until autumn. Since it is not good now, there is no point in sight. Emperor Chongzhen took the queen to the next stop: Tongzhou Shipyard.

The construction of steamships is also one of the most important projects in the Ming Dynasty at present. I received a report before that an accident occurred here, so Emperor Chongzhen came to inspect the situation this time after leaving Beijing.

There was a wooden steamship that accidentally caused a fire during the experiment. The people were fine, and they jumped into the river and survived. But the ship was gone and burned on the Tongzhou River.

Emperor Chongzhen came here this time and did not blame them, but encouraged them to find ways to solve all the difficulties they encountered. It is no problem to cross the river with a touch of stones, but the same mistake is not allowed to be made again.

Now, Tongzhou Shipyard is mainly engaged in steam ships with iron-packed wood, and has made great progress to minimize the resonance of propellers. The research and development direction is to build the ship into the big and the entire iron direction.

When Emperor Chongzhen watched the steamship "tumbling" on the Tongzhou River, it was nothing. However, it was the first time since Empress Zhou got married, and everything was fresh, not to mention the steamship that she had never seen before, such a self-propelled ship that was automatically without wind.

She knew that all this was the application of scientific and technological knowledge, and was done with the guidance of Emperor Chongzhen. Therefore, in her heart, she was even more determined to supervise her son, that is, the prince studied scientific and technological knowledge well, and strived to make her son an emperor like the emperor!

After inspecting the Tongzhou Shipyard, Emperor Chongzhen went directly to the destination of his departure from Beijing, Yongping Prefecture, which was in the capital.

At the beginning of the third year of Chongzhen, Jianlu, who invaded the capital, plundered all the young men and women in Yongping Prefecture before leaving, and left the old and weak, burned Yongping Prefecture. Five years have passed, and the Yongping Prefecture is well restored. Emperor Chongzhen brought the queen to inspect in person, which also reflects the emperor's concern for the people.

This time, there was naturally a prior notice. When the emperor and the empress were about to arrive at Yongping Mansion, almost all the people of Yongping came out of Yongping Mansion and, under the leadership of local officials, left the city to greet him.

If there are other places, there may be people who complain about the emperor's influence on life. However, in this Yongping Mansion, not only does everyone come out of the city, but there are no one complaining. The reason is that Yongping Mansion is more grateful to the emperor than any place.

Back then, the vicious Jianlu used a poisonous plan to burn Yongping Mansion, leaving only the elderly and weak. At that time, the elderly and weak in Yongping Mansion were all desperate, and no one thought he could survive.

However, unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to the Guanning Army as soon as possible, bringing military rations to rescue people. Not only that, he also issued an order to implement food control in the capital, and used unprecedented means to force all food to be managed uniformly, issue grain coupons, and limit the daily amount of food per person, thereby squeezing out food to rescue the elderly and weak in Yongping Prefecture.

It’s not that no one has advised the emperor, nor has anyone discussed it. The people in Yongping Mansion are all old and weak, so what if they are saved, how much benefits can they bring to the Ming Dynasty? It’s not cost-effective to the emperor’s rescue efforts!

However, Emperor Chongzhen did it without hesitation. Not only did he send food to Yongping Prefecture, he also issued an order to the people of the capital, and ordered the princes and nobles in the capital to take the lead and donate clothes to protect the cold. Not only that, under the conditions of shortage of supplies at that time, the emperor also ordered the reconstruction of Yongping Prefecture and the construction of houses with cement. It was with the emperor's efforts that most of the old and weak in Yongping Prefecture survived the grief of the family being destroyed.

People's hearts are full of flesh. A dignified emperor of a country is so good to the elderly and weak, which shows the emperor's benevolence and kindness. Therefore, Yongping Mansion is the most respectful person in the world for the emperor!

After the people here recovered, in order to commemorate the grace of those most difficult years, they collected the food coupons of that year as a souvenir. Later, the food coupons were even more expensive than paper money. By now, the market was already in a state of price but no market. In other words, it was hard to buy even if you had money.

By the way, as the credibility of paper money stabilizes, more and more people collect the first edition of paper money released that year. Just like food coupons, it is far higher than ordinary paper money. Nowadays, there are few people who are sold on the market.

When the people of Yongping Prefecture saw the arrival of the imperial guards from afar, they all knelt down without the greeting of the local officials of Yongping Prefecture, and shouted in unison, waiting for the emperor's arrival: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Nevertheless, the people in a place would treat their emperor so devoutly. This can be seen from the speed of obtaining the achievement value of the chat group system. Emperor Chongzhen just showed his body and before he could say a word, he heard the system's prompts and kept ringing.

"Your Majesty, the people of Yongping Mansion are so enthusiastic!" Even Empress Zhou felt this and said happily. The people of Ming Dynasty loved the emperor so much, and as the Empress, she was naturally honored!

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with some emotion: "The people are actually the simplest. If you treat him well, he will be nice to you. I am their emperor. If you care about them, they will be grateful to me. This is not a flattery!"

He didn't say some things because there was no need to say them in this plane. In the original history, if the imperial court and the government could care about the lives and death of the people, it would be that they were desperate and basically no one would rebel.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen came from later generations and was different from the values ​​of people in this era. Therefore, the capital was just damaged by Jianlu, and there were very few materials. But even so, Emperor Chongzhen overcame all kinds of difficulties, insisted on his own practices, and even referred to the practices in difficult times in later generations, even produced food coupons, and finally saved as many people as possible.

At that time, according to the reports from Guanning Army and the factory guards afterwards, some White Lotus Sect had already been deceiving people's hearts.

When Jianlu left, this move was not vicious, but the Ming Dynasty survived. Then, Emperor Chongzhen used his own way to help him, and seized the urgent shortage of supplies in Liaodong, and kept attacking, and made a fuss about food. In the end, Man Qingkong had a strong combat power, but could not fully exert it. It was also a classic battle of destroying the country.

"Only the wise and wise as Your Majesty can be so loved by the people!" Queen Zhou said with emotion after hearing this, "Only by leaving the palace can you truly feel these!"

She said this, and at the same time she remembered it in her heart. She should teach the prince well when she goes back and must learn from her father.

At this time, because her son finally had to establish a crown prince, it can be said that most of her thoughts were spent on the crown prince. No matter what, she never expected that this crown prince, most of the first crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, would have to be the crown prince for the rest of her life.

As the two of them spoke, the emperor walked forward and finally arrived in front of the crowd.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the dense heads and reached out and said loudly: "I have always been concerned about Yongping Mansion. Today I finally have time to come and see. I will only be relieved if I see you well with my own eyes!"

The young men and women who were abducted by Jian's back then finally returned to their hometown. However, five years have passed, and most of the children of that year have grown into young men. At this glance, they are no longer just old and weak.
