The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 130: The Moon's Trouble

The purpose of Taoism is to "abandon wisdom with foreign things", "forget wealth and honor", "do not care for poverty, do not honor for prosperity, do not care for destruction, and do not please for reputation", which is not in line with the world.However, under the centralized monarchy system, disobedient people are not tolerated in the world, and they must serve politics in order to have the soil for their survival.

Therefore, everyone in the past dynasties had to make a compromise. This compromise was to recognize and abide by the norms of ethics, and created the theory of "monarch power granted by heaven", emphasizing that the power of the monarch does not belong to him personally, and he has no right to cede to others.The change of dynasties in history is the result of the transfer of the mandate of heaven, and it is the will of heaven that plays a decisive role. Therefore, the monarch should "serve heaven" and act according to the will of heaven. Auspiciousness and calamity are the divine response to whether the monarch is satisfied with the governance.In this way, the established political order can be standardized, the authority of the monarch can be established, the purpose of being able to survive in the world can be achieved, and the space for survival can be obtained.

Zhao Ji originally wanted to use etiquette to educate the people, but after more than half a year of tossing, he had to stop because he disturbed the people too much and the gain outweighed the loss.This incident greatly stimulated him, he felt ashamed to face others, and planned to work hard to rectify Chao Gang.This immediately aroused the concerns of several ruling officials in the court. If the emperor becomes the master of the house, they will have to stand aside. Besides, if they do too many bad things, they are also afraid of running into ghosts.After a few guys discussed it, they had to find something for the emperor to do.

Several buddies in power and the inner court immediately joined hands to fool the emperor, and put forward new rationalization suggestions: I hope the emperor will follow the national policy of Emperor Zhenzong, the method of setting up Shinto religion, and use Taoist teachings to teach the people, and establish a peaceful and prosperous world, a happy land of kingship

For Zhao Ji, this suggestion is a long-term drought and nectar, and it is scratching his itch, because he often brags to the ministers. When he was King Duan, he once sleepwalked in Taixu and sat in the hall with the Taishang Laojun Lun Dao, at the last farewell, Laojun patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "The earth is going to be destroyed, you are going to save all mankind, and I will teach Fuxing to live in you." Qing Zunshen, with Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Taishang Laojun, instead of playing chess and discussing Taoism, he pretends to be a direct disciple of the highest Taoist leader. Of course, it does not rule out that he wants to improve his career through these The status among the princes.But at this time, he has just reached the initial stage of "belief", and there is still a little distance from superstition.

But with the foundation, things are much easier. Cai Jing and others brainwashed the emperor with internal and external attacks, and at the same time mobilized the disciples to search for the 'true god'. In this way, the Minister of Rites Qiang Yuanming and the eunuch Wang Yi recommended Wang Laozhi, and he 'Proficient' in the spell of descending the truth from the underworld, able to connect the living with the undead, and invite the gods to descend to the earth. A secret message from the palace made him famous and calmed down the emperor.With the unremitting efforts of these people, the emperor finally walked into the palace of God step by step.

Ordinary people go mad and beat their wives by throwing pots and bowls, or jumping off a building to find the 'truth'. If the king of a country gets in, things will be serious. Zhenguan, write a composition in person, and tell the Quartet.In order to carry forward Taoism as entrusted by heaven, Zhao Ji personally issued an edict to let scholars of Taoism enter prefectures and counties for further study. It is a small scripture, and at the same time, it must also be familiar with Confucianism, and become a Dao. At the same time, according to the rank of government officials, he personally changed the position of Taoist officials and arranged for Taoists to enter the government and become civil servants.

Besides, Zhao Ji came to Lingxiao Palace and called Wang Laozhi to ask him to give advice.Wang Laozhi still doesn't change his clothes and hemp shoes. He lives in the prime minister's mansion, but he still retains the demeanor of a worldly expert. He doesn't seem to be contaminated by the world. The emperor bestowed on Mr. Dongwei.

"Wuliang Tianzun, what's the matter with the Holy One recruiting Xiaodao?" Wang Laozhi proclaimed the Taoist name Jishoudao.

"Sir, the officials have been troubled by family affairs recently, and I would like to ask you to give me some advice." Tong Guan was very sensible, and offered fragrant tea, asking for the emperor.

"Please speak," Wang Laozhi nodded.

"A few years ago, the second prince fell into the water and died in the palace. But just as the comet was in the sky, he came back to life. There were rumors in the palace that the second prince was possessed by a fierce spirit, which would harm everyone in the palace. It has been many years since I went to Xiangyi to take care of him, and the sage is thinking about him very much, and wants to call him back to Beijing, may I ask, sir?" Tong Guan asked.

"Excuse me for my birthday," Wang Laozhi said, and Tong Guan hurriedly told him.Seeing that Wang Laozhi had already settled down, his eyes were slightly opened, and he muttered something, suddenly opened his eyes and said urgently: "Hiss... Your Majesty should call the second prince back to Beijing, I will go to the underworld to go to the heavenly palace, and visit all the immortals, only to find out that he has a fairy fate On that day, the second prince was murdered by a traitor, and the Emperor of Heaven rescued him, but he was expelled from Beijing for a few years because of his foolish words, and he was left in the cold.

"Ah..." Zhao Ji was taken aback, but before he could recover, suddenly the bells and drums rang in the temple, and a little Taoist ran in in panic and shouted: "Mr. "

.......

On a sunny morning in summer, a group of royal guards surrounded the tightly-wrapped carriage and drove out of Beifu to the field training ground. After arriving, the guards quickly spread out and set up a cordon according to the order, controlling the An area with a radius of five miles.The rest of the people untied the tarpaulin on the carriage, and a swarthy guy revealed his true face——Cannon. Under the command of the prince, a group of people quickly cleared an open space, dug a deep trench five feet away, and piled up sandbags , built a simple bunker.

"We're going to do the real thing today. I hope it will be a hit, not an explosion." Zhao Tong touched his masterpiece and prayed.This cannon is an imitation of a modern western Franco cannon - the Little Falcon Cannon, with a caliber of two inches, a length of five feet and six inches, a total weight of four hundred catties, a negative firing angle of 45 to [-] degrees, and a rotating muzzle. The angle is [-] degrees, the effective range is unknown and needs to be tested.

This gun is equipped with sights, has lugs on both sides, and the wall of the gun body is relatively thick. It is forged from all refined iron and does not use the traditional casting method. This is because the casting process is not yet mature, and it is difficult to guarantee defects such as air holes. quality, and there are small claw marks or other unevenness on the inner surface of the gun body, gas leakage will occur when firing, resulting in continuous decline in the ballistic performance of the gun, a decrease in the maximum range, and an increase in dispersion. The surface is large, and there are phenomena such as near bombing, early bombing, and even bombing.The forging method can make the iron fine and reduce defects through the process of plate making, reeling, and bonding. It can also pre-process the gun bore, which can effectively prevent the bore from exploding and reduce the weight of the gun body.

The Franc cannon is equipped with pre-stored ammunition in sub-guns, which does not need to be reloaded temporarily, which can speed up the firing speed.The child blunderbuss is actually another barrel that is a little smaller than the barrel of the 'mother blunderbuss', and together with the barrel of the mother blunderbuss, it forms multiple barrels.As the inner heavy gun barrel, the sub-gun can be disassembled from or installed on the mother gun at any time, so it can be filled with ammunition in advance and play the role of an iron charge bag, and the thickness of the barrel of the mother gun can be reduced without compromising. to burst.

In addition, this kind of gun has the advantage of fast heat dissipation. Because the rear gun is connected front and back, air convection, and the barrel is thin, it is easy to dissipate heat, which can increase the continuous shooting ability of the gun and reduce the possibility of spontaneous combustion of gunpowder.

Of course, on the basis of imitation, Zhao Tun still made improvements. This thing is no less troublesome than making guns. The research results of Mahler, a German artillery research expert, were cited in the design, and the most reasonable ratio of caliber to length was adopted. Calculating the optimal loading amount of gunpowder is of course after adopting a new gunpowder formula and manufacturing process.

When the artillery is fired, it has a strong recoil, and sometimes it will jump left and right, or turn it upside down, which seriously endangers the safety of the gunner and the crew. He installed the artillery pitch axis, rotating shaft pivot, azimuth plate and rear bracket on the gun mount. .The pitch axis can be used not only to set up and stabilize the artillery, but also to adjust the height angle; the azimuth plate and the rear bracket can suppress the recoil force of the artillery when firing, and maintain the stability of the artillery; the pivot and the azimuth plate can be used together to adjust the When moving left and right, fix the cannon so that it will not move left and right.

The biggest improvement is the connection method between the child gun and the female gun. The original hard connection has been changed to a soft connection, and a plug similar to a tin bowl is installed between the two.The wooden wedge used to keep the two tightly combined is changed to a screw top, both of which are used to prevent the leakage of the chamber pressure and improve the range and power.The shells are made of lead-cast balls, weighing three catties, and charged one and a half catties.The gun cart and the ammunition cart can be connected together and towed by two horses. The gunner sits on the cart and travels with the cavalry to provide fire support.

After everything was ready, Zhao Tama ordered the fire to be fired, and then everyone jumped into the bunker and opened their mouths to cover their ears. There was a loud 'boom', the gun body shook violently, and smoke rose.After a while, people poked their heads out of the bunker to see, fortunately, the cannon was still there

Regardless of the dust falling, Zhao Tun jumped out, carefully inspected the gun body, gun carriage, and barrel, and found that they were intact. Then he fired a few more shots, and only adjusted the angle after confirming that the barrel would not explode. Measure the effective range of a gun.After tossing for a long time, the data obtained is that the effective range is [-] steps, and the maximum range is about [-] steps.The successful test firing of the cannon is only the first step. The next most troublesome thing is to compile the "Cannon Table". This requires shooting at different angles, collecting data, calculating the range of the cannon at different angles in a list, and then creating Scale rules - gun rules and square rules, so that you can shoot quickly according to different situations

Of course, Zhao Tuo will not waste the opportunity of cannonballs and this live ammunition shooting in vain, and let the students of the artillery team practice and release them. He has become a training cannon, Zhao Tun listened to the sound of the cannon, and his heart was bleeding. This time, he understood the mood of the logistics chief in the army in the past. One sound of the cannon is half a tael of silver, five hundred copper coins, and a strong laborer for five days The salary and the five-day living expenses of the family are simply money-eating machines. If an artillery division is established, a few salvos will be enough for him to toss for a month.
