Chapter 261 (1)
"Are you sweating all over your body, have you become mischievous again?" Shujia held the book and squinted at her youngest son.

Hongzao is eight (xu) years old this year, and he has already entered school, and even he has acquired some appearances on bow and horse.Hehe laughed twice, and Hongzao said excitedly: "My son went to perform martial arts with Khan Ama! The new cannon made by Master Dai is really fun!"

Shujia had a dark face, she knew about this.Yinfeng mentioned a sentence two days ago: "A batch of cannons made by Dai Zi's new supervisor has already been cast, and they have been tested and fired, and the report is that they are better than the old ones. Once they all bring them, it will be easy to open your eyes."

At that time, Shujia did not expect that Yinreng would attach so much importance to firearms, so she couldn't help asking tentatively: "What are you going to use artillery for?" When the country was short of money, he could still allocate money to make gun?Arms has always been a costly business, especially weapon research and development.Knowing that he is considered an "enlightened person" who pays more attention to technology, he never imagined that at this time he could still support the insistence on research and development of improved weapons.

Yinfeng's heart was more bitter than Huang Lian's: "It's for practicing martial arts." He still didn't tell his wife too much about the country going to war, and added casually, "We must first sharpen our weapons."

As the monarch of a minority regime, ruling such a large country, he is conscientious and dare not be negligent, but he is no match for the degradation of his nation's force value and the fact that the population base is still small.

He didn't want to wait until Cewang Allah Butan imitated Naishu and conquered the territory of the Mongolian Banners League, and the soldiers pointed directly at Beijing before rushing to fight.He wanted to push the battlefield farther and farther, and in this way, there was a problem: the comprehensive strength of the Eight Banners soldiers.

Although the Eight Banners soldiers are currently stationed in places such as Hangzhou, the proportion of purely Han soldiers in the composition of the national armed forces is increasing.This is not good, very bad, and it will easily affect the rule of the Qing Dynasty. If troops are sent, the Eight Banners soldiers must be relied on as an important support.

Helplessly, the combat effectiveness of these guys has been declining.Before entering the customs, life was hard. If you got on a horse, put on a bow, picked up a guy, or robbed the neighbors in the south, or went hunting to subsidize the family, it was better than training without intensive training.After entering the customs, everyone can live a good life. You can eat without working, and you can get some money if you have an errand. Even though the emperor has been emphasizing that everyone should not lose their horses and horses, the Eight Banners are still getting more and more dandy. melted.

In addition to corruption incidents such as eating empty pay, if the God of Crossing pulls the current Eight Banners to fight against the ordinary Ming army in the Chongzhen period, it will not be too clever. If it encounters Li Zicheng's peasant army, it may not be enough for others to clean up. When encountering Guan Liao iron cavalry, it is definitely not enough for others to cut.However, now they must be used to rule the foundation!If one day, the suppression of bandits and the enemy depends on troops composed of Han people, the rule of the Qing Dynasty will soon come to an end.

But Ala Butan had to deal with it, and now Yun Xiang from the Ministry of War said what everyone was thinking: "It is nothing to worry about Ala Butan, but the worrying thing now is that he detained The son of Tibetan Khan (as mentioned above). Tibet is poor and poor, and it is not of much benefit to the imperial court, but there are two living Buddhas, and the imperial court has no choice but to take care of it!"

Lhazang Khan has made meritorious service to the imperial court. He entered Tibet and killed Diba, who was not friendly to the imperial court, and he was willing to deport the "fake lama" to Beijing (although the whereabouts of Tsangyang Gyatso was unknown halfway through his journey), he was finally regarded as a Take control of Tibet.

Tibet is really not that important to the imperial court. What is important is the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, two living Buddhas in Tibet.It would be fine if these two were merely the leaders of the Tibetan Communist Party. The terrible thing is that they are not only the masters of the Tibetans, but also Qinghai, Mongolia, and even Manchuria, from the northwest to the northeast, and how many people who believe in Lamaism regard them as When a half-god comes to worship, you don't have to listen to the emperor's words, but you must believe the living Buddha's words.If Cewang Allah Butan brought the son of Lazang Khan into Tibet and then controlled the two living Buddhas, it is uncertain whether Mongolia will be an ally of the imperial court, so the imperial court must control Tibet.

Once there is a change in Cewang Allah Butan, his first step is probably to enter Tibet, and move forward with the momentum of annexing the whole of Tibet.This posed a big problem for the court: how to fight?Not to mention Tibet, but Qinghai alone, at such an altitude, "beautiful natural scenery and harsh geographical conditions", can the soldiers withstand it?

You can't use the more hard-working green camp and other Han troops, let alone take the Mongolian kings to lead the battle, right?When Galdan rebelled, it was hard to say whether the Mongolian relatives had acted like a fool!
After learning from the painful experience, Yinfeng had no choice but to believe that 'science and technology are the primary productive forces'.When Kangxi personally conquered the camel city in Galdan, all the soldiers had the feeling that "the dog bites the bastard and has nowhere to bite". A great victory.

If you can't tear open the tortoise's shell, then blast it away!There is a gap between our own cavalry and the Junggars in riding and shooting, so use advanced weapons to fill it up!

It's just that such a bitter fruit, Yinreng is quite stubborn and doesn't tell his wife. He doesn't want to ruin the face of a man and manage the country and the army like this. It really makes people blush.

Shujia didn't think so much, she only guessed that soldiers would be used.Yinfeng's words are like expressing: the country is going to war.Compared with the news disclosed by Yinfeng, Hongdan, etc. a while ago, it is estimated that they are fighting with Junggar.Shujia still has a bit of knowledge about the Junggar, knowing that they are formidable enemies, she has a heart, and the more strength she has, the more she can grasp. This is not bad. If the court has tasted the benefits brought by technology, it is willing to develop this area. not bad.

Thinking of this, Shu Jialian said: "Be prepared before the war, and there will be fewer casualties during the war." Is it wise to exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefit?

Yinfeng can only smile wryly.

Shujia is very supportive of Yinreng's emphasis on firearms and his willingness to use them in warfare. However, she can't help much. She has no research on the principles of movement, gunpowder production methods, and gun structures. Verbally encourage one or two.

Seeing his son actually taking the demonstration of this war killer as a "play" at the moment, I really can't laugh or cry.I want to say a few words of truth, but I don't want to kill children's interest in firearms.The interests of the children in her family can really affect the development of this science to a certain extent.

He poked Hongzao on the forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Just know how to play! The sound of firing cannons is quite loud, didn't it shock you?"

Hongzao was delighted: "No! My son is not afraid at all! Master Dai told us to cover our ears, but in fact we are far away, so it's okay if we don't cover them."

"So you didn't cover it up, and you were shocked."

"How did you know that?"

Shujia is helpless, you said it yourself, what do you mean "it's okay if you don't cover it up"?
Hongxiu fetched water himself to wash Hongzao's face.Hongzao's wet nurse sent him home after he went to school, and the eunuchs who followed him looked at the situation, and quickly came up to hold a washbasin.Hong Xiu wiped Hong Zao's face, he was not being honest: "I haven't seen Auntie for a while, what did Auntie go?"

Hongxiu was ordered to go to the Eastern Palace to inspect and help prepare for the big wedding in the Eastern Palace. She also smiled and said: "The master and the empress have sent the servants to go on an errand."

After wiping his face, Hongzao bared his teeth and smiled: "Er Niang~"

Shujia knew that he had something to ask for, and it was still not very serious.

really.

"Er Niang~ I heard... Ouchi has a pistol?"

"……what are you going to do?"

Of course it's for fun.

"No, swords and arrows have no eyes." Which family would equip a seven-year-old doll with a pistol?Violation of the Law on the Protection of Minors.

—

In the Kunning Palace, Hong Zao was grinding his mother, hoping to hit a wooden clock for a hot weapon to play with.

In the Qianqing Palace, Hongdan was detained by his father to discuss the issue of hot weapons.

The atmosphere in Qianqing Palace is much more lively than in Kunning Palace. Today's artillery test was very successful, but Dai Ziren's old skills are getting better and better.The range, accuracy, and lethality of the artillery have been greatly improved, and the shooting range is in a mess.

The princes, kings, military department, and all banners all worked together to flatter the emperor.

With a smile on his face, Yinfeng said, "This is also Dai Zi's ability. I will credit you first!" After speaking, he rewarded Dai Zi with a thousand taels of silver, and added a double-eyed flower feather.Dai Zi hurriedly thanked him.

Yinfeng waved his hand and asked him to stand aside, seeing that the kings and ministers had nothing else to say, he waved away most of them, leaving some who knew the secrets to continue the discussion.

Yun'e, who was later assigned to the Ministry of War, said: "Looking at the cannons today, Cewang Allah Butan must not be able to get cheap."

Yun Xiang was also very happy: "Back then, the late emperor personally marched. I only hated that I was too young to experience it. Now that I can see the mighty general show off his might again, it is a pity."

Listening to his suggestive words of asking for a fight, Yinfeng didn't accept this, but said to Dai Zi: "I see that you seem to be unwell today (I'm tired of studying and supervising weapons for days), and I have two eunuchs to take care of your food and daily life." , and ask a few people to follow you." Just do it, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs choose two eunuchs to serve Dai Zi, and order the banner to choose smart young disciples who like this kind of knowledge to follow.

Coincidentally, Shuxian's son who went to school with Dai Zi was left behind in Beijing to go to the official school in Banner. Yinfeng swiped a pen: "He was also your disciple before, and he is still following you now."

Dai Zi has completed a big task, very tired but also very satisfied, repeatedly rejecting Yinfeng's "great grace" and sending eunuchs to take care of him, what is it like?Yinfeng smiled and said, "You don't have to refuse, I still have something for you to do."

He is also worried that this "science and technology" is still in the air.The cannon used back then was made by Dai Zi before his exile ==, there has been no improvement in weapons in recent years, old man Dai is seven or eighty years old, who knows how many days he can live?If you don't use him, you're afraid that he will die, and this skill will be lost, so you can't help yourself; if you use him, you're afraid that this old guy will be exhausted to death ==!So I sent people to take good care of it, and sent my disciples to learn from it.

Dai Zi had no choice but to obey, he was a scholar, and making firearms was of course a hobby, but he still liked to control rivers, but the emperor didn't use him to bring peace, but to order chaos.

King Yong remained silent for a while, but at this time Fang said: "How many pieces of this artillery will be built? How much will it cost in the end? How will it be transported to the front line? When will it be used? What should I do if there is loss on the road? And gunpowder, which is a dangerous thing. "

Only then did all the monarchs calm down, and Yinfeng asked Dai Zi, "Are the cannons vulnerable?"

Dai Zixin said that the more precise something is, the less likely it is to fall. He made some adjustments to the structure of the cannon, which is a little more delicate than before, but don't worry too much, because the transportation of gunpowder is really laborious.Immediately answered truthfully, and reported various data of the cannon again.

These cannons vary in size and weight. Some small cannons are more convenient to transport, while larger ones are very heavy, and the requirements for road transportation are relatively high.

Everyone had an in-depth discussion on these. They were all people who knew little about thermal weapons, and Dai Zi was the only one who was a real expert.Old man Dai was scanned by the spotlight, even though he had already calmed down after all the weather, it was still seen that he was covered in sweat.
