Chapter 1025: Wave 5
The crisis in Cangzhou has been initially resolved? After receiving the news from Yuzhou Port in Haizhou, I couldn't help but fall into a sense of shock and surprise.
Since the original telex and arm signal towers spanning about five states have been established, a signal tower with flash reflection during the day and ignition at night has also been established on the other side of the Yellow River;
Therefore, the news sent by HB is very fast, and it only took one standard time (half an hour), and the rest is the delay of the whole day that is necessary to pass the road to Yizhou by boat.
Although this time it seemed like a successful rescue operation and there was nothing special about the results, I still saw many remarkable advantages in it;
For example, the practice of gathering small steamers to drag the troop transporters, and the adventure of letting the inland gunships that have not been invested in the short-term shallow water crossing the Yellow River... Some are forward-looking concepts I mentioned, while others are their own attempts and innovations.
For example: When the actual arrival of troops was limited, Han Liangchen did not rush into the city to join the defenders, or restrained and echoed each other in the preset positions;
Instead, the troops were asked to disembark in advance to warm up, and then cooperated with the gunship as the head, and the armed troop carrier followed the fleet to advance together, creating a large-scale military strategy to advance.
This shows Han Liangchen's skillfulness in fighting formations and his vision and ability to grasp the opportunity.
As the last official of the five major commanders in Huai, he was responsible for the military training and teaching for a long time, and even a large number of business work in the Military Preparation Branch of the Joint School. It does not have much conspicuous points in normal times, but once there are needs and changes, it can be very useful at critical moments.
This is also the fundamental reason why I have always been assured to give him the motor power behind him and stayed in the two government offices for a long time when I went out. It is an inconspicuous but very reassuring existence.
As the rotation troops arrived one after another, I brought out a main force of the army order and had withdrawn most of them; the remaining five battalions followed me in Yizhou, in order to continue to pay attention to the situation in the ridge and to go south to meet the two vanguards sent by me.
Of course, in terms of reputation, in order to prevent, the remnants of the fleeing rebels continued to cause trouble and other disturbances along the coast of Fujian. During this period, I could only wait for subsequent news while inspecting the reorganization and training of the new troops.
After defeating Donghai Society and its navy, the sea routes to the south became smoother again, and the circulation of materials and information to the South China Sea was also recovering rapidly. It was just that time was needed to give back and could not see the effect immediately. After Zong Rulin's preliminary cleaning, the prefectures and counties along the coast of Fujian were already unprepared for us.
The morale and physical fitness of more than 20 new battalions and soldiers are quite good; there are some gaps in the equipment of firearms, and they need to work overtime to produce them. After all, this is a new situation that extends the war in Yizhou.
In the initial plan and plan, it did not take over the planning of Yizhou in full, but planned to continue to ensure and support several powerful agents through force deterrence, and to ensure the interests and output of the rear in a conditional manner;
But as the saying goes, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. I didn’t expect that these enemies are coming in full force. Although they were very vigorous and powerful when the uprising was in full force, they were actually ineffective in fighting, so that the places we needed to clean up and control suddenly exceeded expectations several times.
There were about 6,000 official-made firearms seized, but because they were not used together, I used them as some kind of spoil and evidence of reality. Together with the standard firearms of the Divine Machinery Army, I handed over the hand and gave them tens of thousands of kilograms of thick gunpowder to Jiangning.
As corresponding feedback and linkage, Jiangning has accused me of the fait accompli for my actions and actions in Fujian, but it also expressed a basic attitude of stopping in the affairs of the Donghai Society, not being proficient in or overcoming, and causing trouble for the court.
I have just arranged a preliminary naturalization charter here, and there are changes there; for a good news that is not good news, a group of people are going to exile to Yizhou;
Some time ago, I rushed to the Jingguang Gate of Jiangning Prefecture, and caused the Dan Army to be facing a great enemy. After being suppressed and pacified, most people were punished for being exiled as official slaves and exiled to a distant place.
Because the chaos in the north and the south are now unceasing, and we cannot start the journey, and we cannot keep this group of criminal troops in our hands for a long time. The additional consumption of materials is not considered to be a hidden danger of inaction; so those who are dying are temporarily assigned to Yizhou by sea; of course, this is not without taking the opportunity to transfer the burden and burden, and also bringing me some things to find and distract my energy.
This group of people also has some connection with our Huai Town. As one of the several hills in the Huai Army, about one of the many mountains in the Huai Army, about one-third to two-fifths of the soldiers are from their local hometowns or related to the local Danyang.
Later, the Jianghuai famine and chaos were famine, and many soldiers from the former vassal states who were sent to Runzhou could not survive. They were recruited to Huaidong for resettlement and settlement, and there were also a population of 70,000 to 80,000 people. Because of the local cultural and educational atmosphere, the literacy rate among this group of people was slightly higher than that of other places, and thus they also held some middle and lower positions in the local area.
For example, Fang Yingwu, who was born in a painter, now under his command, has thousands of people in charge of propaganda and public opinion. After long and short-term storytelling and lyrics training, more than two or three times the part-time staff who were able to receive allowances were supported. This also supported one of the components of the civil propaganda and the underlying public opinion orientation under the rule of the huge Huai Town, although it was still rough and belonged to the relatively extensive primitive stage.
Therefore, because of this, I have a friendship with each other. After I really arrived at the place, I did not have various methods of differentiation and disintegration and slowly took it for myself, such as through the means of pre-investing of military farms.
Although the land of Jiangzuo has been rich and densely populated since ancient times, it is because of the limited per capita land and serious local annexation, so that a large number of people can only make a living by relying on being attached to the harem of wealthy families and being a slave and tenant.
The fields were cultivated one by one, and in this process, the pride and sense of belonging to build a home by hand also arise. In addition, each household has obtained the expectations of the corresponding fields, and there are naturally many people who are willing to take root here in a subtle way.
Another good news sent during this period,
According to my preset research and experimental direction, Qingzhou's gunpowder factory has created the original double-based **** (such as gunpowder made of fire cotton and *******) formula that burns faster and more fully, has greater power and requires less weight.
Although I know that the general principle of infiltrating flammable nitrocellulose and performing blunt plasticization also has batches of products; but to find the most suitable ratio, whether it is gun medicine, cannon medicine, or the component ratio required for flying fire thunder and hand-throwing bombs, it still requires step by step test and adjustment to gradually explore.
Once the optimal formula is finalized in actual combat, it will set off a new round of changes and improvements for the current equipment's firearm caliber and the ammunition specifications used;
In addition, according to the tips accumulated on my portable notepad, the double-based gunpowder may also bring a technologically advanced unlocking, which is the feasibility of the original version of the continuous weapon;
Because double-based gunpowder is better than the original black gunpowder or the early single-based nitrifying gunpowder, it is better in terms of volatile and ignition points; this also means that the risk of accidental ignition of overheating and gunpowder gas leakage is further reduced.
In this way, using embedded base fire to replace external fire hats will have a certain foundation and feasibility.
Does this also mean that I can consider some pipe-turning weapons with higher firing rates and simple linkage structures. I have seen the dynamic principle breakdown of the original hand-turning pipe Gatling in military forums; although there is also the problem of low material and process levels and easy to ablate the inner wall of the barrel, it is already something that needs to be considered after hundreds or thousands of shots.
If some gun barrels can be scrapped in exchange for increased killing and deterrence to the enemy, what can I do without doing? As the saying goes, the military technology development process of "no short steps can be no thousands of miles".
There are many other things similar forward-looking research, which almost burns down at least one-tenth of the company's book profit every month; fortunately, as long as the direction is not wrong, the results are just to see if the detours can be taken less, or the time to advance step by step; then, the efficiency and cost bonuses obtained in certain areas, or the long-term continuous benefits and potential benefits will be mentioned in different discussions.
only,
There is still not enough news or feedback in the Cantonese family, and even the inside line in the Cantonese family is sent out. The same is true for the news that the Luo family mansion has been destroyed. The only thing that is certain is that no one fell into the hands of those rebels.
At this time, I received another surprising news. Xin Jiaxuan and his wife who escaped from Guangzhou were in Meizhou.
But they were trapped again because rebel warships appeared on the sea and several ships that had tried to escape had been intercepted and sunk on the waterway.
Although they took the gunfire position temporarily set up on the seawall in the port, and after losing more than a dozen large valves that rushed to the shore, they gave up their plans to continue the attack, but during the confrontation, they trapped the troops I sent in disguise.
