Fengxian Jiangshan

When such a big event happened in Fengtian, Lao Yuan also got the report immediately. He was worrying about the war in the southwest.Although the Dian army is not weak in combat power, but its financial resources are limited, no matter what Lao Yuan calculates, he can win steadily, but the fact is not the case. My hair is all white.

The house leaked in the rain all night, the ship was broken and the wind was blowing, the southwest was raging, and the northeast had problems again. Yuan Shikai even felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Facing the crisis, he had to call all his advisers to let him go. Let's discuss it.

"Your Majesty, I think that Fengtian's affairs are the fault of two people. Feng Delin has no law, openly raised money, and then led his subordinates to attack the commander's mansion, which almost caused a catastrophe. He must be severely punished; Duan Zhigui is cowardly and incompetent. There is no way to restrain the subordinates, handing over the three eastern provinces to him can only be a bad thing, I suggest that His Majesty approve his resignation and let him return to Beijing as soon as possible."

It was Zhang Zhenfang who made an impassioned speech in front of Lao Yuan. Speaking of which, he was still Yuan Shikai's cousin and one of the generals who supported the imperial system.He was very jealous of Duan Zhigui, who also worked for the old Yuan. Duan Zhigui became a feudal official and held great power, but he didn't get anything, so Zhang Zhenfang was very willing to take this opportunity to pull Duan Zhigui down.

"Your Majesty, Duan Zhigui and Feng Delin are certainly at fault, but if they are both dealt with, who can restrain Zhang Zuolin? Is it possible to just watch this bandit leader grow up in Fengtian? You must know that Fengtian is farther away from Beijing than Yunnan." There are too many and the threat is greater."

"Mr. Liang, you are prejudiced against Zhang Zuolin!" Zhang Zhenfang said with a smile, "Zhang Yuting is capable and powerful. No one else can defend Fengtian except him. Give Zhang Zuolin a little reward, and let Zhang Zuolin know His Majesty's great kindness. Let him work more attentively."

In terms of seniority and prestige, Zhang Zuolin is not qualified enough to directly take over the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Duan Zhigui was appointed as the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces in order to control Zhang Zuolin. After coming down, Lao Yuan was still very unhappy.

But Duan Zhigui couldn't control the situation at all, and turned a good move into a dead move.The dignified tour envoy not only couldn't restrain Zhang Zuolin, but even Feng Delin couldn't restrain him, and it became a joke. Lao Yuan could see through this godson, this guy was loyal and filial.Just incapable!

"Your Majesty, I think Fengtian's affairs are strange." Yang Du, who has always regarded himself as the emperor's teacher, said: "Feng Delin is stationed in Guangyuan and Beizhen. Without Zhang Zuolin's acquiescence, it is impossible for him to rush to Fengtian with his troops, so In this incident, Zhang Zuolin is definitely not as clean as it looks, he probably participated in it, and it is very likely that he directed it, letting such a person dominate Fengtian. It is too dangerous."

After Yang Du finished speaking, Lao Yuan remained silent. In fact, he had been wondering what role Zhang Zuolin was playing, and whether he was as innocent as he appeared on the surface.It is not reliable to hand over Fengtian to him completely, Lao Yuan has no confidence at all.

"Xizi, you need to pay attention to evidence in everything. You can't just rely on imagination. The situation in Fengtian is very chaotic, and there are Japanese people involved. Does Zhang Zuolin have the ability to control everything? In my opinion, it is mainly an accident. "Yang Shiqi also said: "Your Majesty, the situation in the southwest is rotten, and there will be no more problems in the northeast. Now Zhang Zuolin must be used even if he believes in it, and Zhang Zuolin must be used if he doesn't. Apart from him, no one can stabilize Fengtian!"

When Yang Shiqi said this, he didn't continue, but the underlying lines were already very clear. If there was chaos in the Northeast, I'm afraid that the emperor, Lao Yuan, would come to an end.

Yuan Shikai frowned, Yang Shiqi was right, now is not the time to be able to do what he thinks, this is involuntary.Old Yuan couldn't help but glanced at Yang Du meaningfully. He was the one who told himself that when he became the emperor, he would be able to act arbitrarily and strengthen the country.

As a result, the facts shattered Lao Yuan's dreams. He decided to proclaim himself emperor. Not only did his prestige not increase, but Yunnan rebelled, Beiyang fell apart even more, and a sense of powerlessness came to Lao Yuan's heart.

"Let Zhigui come back first, and Zhang Zuolin will supervise Fengtian and supervise the bandit suppression in the three eastern provinces. If he does a good job, he will be promoted at the right time!" At this time, Lao Yuan finally chose to compromise and handed Fengtian over. There is too much helplessness!

"Seventh Lord, try this bullet." On the shooting range, old Zhang Zheng, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuo and others were shooting targets.

Zhang Tinglan handed a golden bullet to Lao Zhang. Although Lao Zhang has been in a high position for a long time, his marksmanship has not fallen at all. He loaded the bullets in a large number and gently pulled the trigger. The water rifle made a crisp sound and hit the target A target 80 meters away.

Both Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang couldn't stop applauding, and a light flashed in Lao Zhang's eyes, "Ting Lan, give me a few more bullets to try."

Zhang Tinglan handed over another five rounds. After Lao Zhang pretended, he fired all of them, and called Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang again.

"Fu Chen, you all try it too, this bullet feels very different!" Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen also fired several bullets in succession, but Sun Liechen fired the third bullet, and there was a stink, which was a bit disappointing. After they finished shooting, they got together again.

"Ting Lan, these bullets are less powerful than the previous bullets, and the burden on the body is not so heavy. Could it be that we made them ourselves?"

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "It is the first batch of finished products we produced. The production line for the bullets shipped back has been installed at the ammunition factory outside the city. Chen Qiming is in charge there. The production line is already in operation, and we have a steady stream of energy. The production of bullets!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan is also a little proud. Although he took a lot of risks for this production line, since the production of the bullets, Zhang Tinglan feels that everything is worth it.Arms are the lifeblood of a warlord, but the vast majority of warlords in China cannot produce weapons for themselves.

As a result, they have to import from foreign countries, which is tantamount to handing over the lifeblood to others. Zhang Tinglan will never allow this situation, so he has been trying to find a way to achieve self-sufficiency in weapons.

Now it has finally taken a gratifying step, Fengtian can produce bullets by itself, and the next step is rifles and cannons.Then there are tanks and planes. When these can be self-produced, will the dignified army still be afraid of those little Japan?

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Although the water rifle is good, it was designed for the Russians. They are all tall and strong, and they can bear it. Compared with the Russians, our physical fitness is much worse. If we use Russian bullets, It is a great burden on the body, so the time to charge the medicine is reduced by [-]%."

"The charge has been reduced. Will it reduce the shooting range?" Sun Liechen was a little puzzled. It is good to have less recoil, but if you sacrifice the performance of the gun, it will not be worth the candle.

"It will indeed be reduced. But there is not much difference within the effective range, and our soldiers can only guarantee the accuracy within a few tens of meters. It is no more than a hundred meters. It is too far away to be accurate. Of course, there are special needs. It can also be equipped with original bullets."

After Zhang Tinglan summed up his experience last time, the Independent Brigade began to form a sniper unit, and now it has some prospects, but Zhang Tinglan is very dissatisfied. The main reason is that the sharpshooters selected from Fengjun are not so good.The best quasi-heads are around 100 meters, and only a few can reach 30 meters, which is already rare.

But Zhang Tinglan knew that compared with the Japanese soldiers in the same period.Feng Jun's so-called sharpshooters are similar to ordinary Japanese soldiers.The Japanese are very strict in training, and they can guarantee a certain degree of accuracy when they are above 200 meters. As for the snipers, they are even more powerful.

If the two armies shoot at each other, the Feng army will definitely not take any advantage, on the contrary, it will become the opponent's prey.No matter how much you despise Japan strategically, but you have to pay attention to the Japanese at the tactical level. There are indeed some unexpected things about this island country, especially the spirit of digging into a dead end is extremely powerful.

"Good soldiers are fed by bullets. Our soldiers' shooting skills are low. It's not that they don't work hard. The biggest reason is that they lack sufficient training. We can produce bullets ourselves, so we don't have to worry about consumption. We can improve our training level." Come up and try to make every soldier a sharpshooter." Zhang Tinglan said excitedly.

Zhang Zuolin kept nodding his head, even though the Fengjun was guarding the Middle East Road and had sufficient ammunition, but Lao Zhang knew that the European War would not go on forever, and there would be an end sooner or later, so what was the Fengjun pointing at then?

If you rely on foreigners to buy, on the one hand, the price will be too high, and on the other hand, it will be accompanied by various privileges, which is unacceptable to Lao Zhang.Zhang Zuolin is a person with a strong learning ability. During this period of time, Zhang Tinglan's constant tossing and tossing stirred up both Japan and Russia, and the United States and Britain also sent representatives to Fengtian.

Gradually, Lao Zhang also saw the face of foreigners very clearly. These foreign devils are all profitless, and they are all greedy. If you cooperate with them, you have to keep a hand, and be careful that they are bought by them. It cannot be handed over to them.

Therefore, Lao Zhang was very satisfied with being able to produce bullets, and immediately decided to take Zhang Tinglan, Sun Liechen, and Zhang Zuoxiang to the ammunition factory outside the city to see the production of bullets for himself.

The ammunition chief was separated from Fengtian Armory, and the main body stayed in Fengtian to be responsible for the production of parts such as gun stocks and magazine clips, while Chen Qiming specially led more than [-] workers to choose a hidden manor outside the east city as an ammunition factory. workshop.

Chen Qiming did not expect Zhang Tinglan to prepare a bullet production line here, and he was also taken aback. However, Chen Qiming was very smart, so he didn't ask any more questions. Zhang Tinglan had already said that no matter it was stolen or robbed, he would get the production equipment. This production line Most of them came in this way, so they were arranged outside the city.

For this kind of behavior, Chen Qiming not only does not have any rejection, but also appreciates it very much. If all the politicians in China can do whatever they can to make the country strong, I am afraid that China will become strong long ago. For them, hard work is everything.

Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Tinglan and others came to this secret production workshop, and the workers were all working hard.

"Marshal, there are a lot of explosives here, it's very dangerous."

"It's not that I haven't been to a battlefield with real swords and guns, and I still care about these. Tell me about the production of bullets?"

"Marshal, we can currently produce [-] bullets per day. If the raw materials are sufficient and the workers are more skilled, the quantity will be even greater. There are only two problems. One is that our cost is more than [-]% higher than that of foreigners, and The defective rate is relatively high." Speaking of this, Chen Qiming's face also turned red.

Sun Liechen's eyes immediately widened when he heard that, he just met a stinky child, and thought he was unlucky, but it turned out that the defective rate was too high.

"Marshal, if our cost is so much higher than that of foreigners, why should we produce it ourselves? We can just buy it, and the quality of bullets made by foreigners is better than ours. Isn't this a loss-making business?"

"General Sun, as long as we are given enough time, we will be able to keep the cost down."

Sun Liechen still shook his head: "Yuting, there are millions of rounds of ammunition a year, which is tens of thousands of yuan. We really might as well buy it from foreigners, worry about it, and get some defective products. It's not worth it!" (To be continued continued..)
