Yi Zhizhi insisted on Ding Wei to abide by the system, his words were sincere, and his attitude was resolute, Daoguang did not keep it this time, and opened up the lack of his minister, Nanyang minister, and Nanyang governor, and temporarily guarded the system, but also left room for it, if the war in Nanyang did not go well, he immediately went to Nanyang to be the commander.

With the opening of Yi Zhi's contentment and Ding worry, the officialdom also ushered in a big change, first Qi Shan, the governor of Liangguang, was transferred to the minister of Nanyang, and Huang Entong, the governor of Guangdong, was transferred to the governor of Liangguang.

Immediately, Lin Zexu, the governor of Liangjiang, was awarded the co-organizer of the university, the minister of military aircraft went up, and Li Xingyuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, was transferred to the governor of Liangjiang. Deng Tingzhen, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was transferred to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Liu Yunke, the governor of Zhejiang, was transferred to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

In just one month, the three governors of the southeast were all replaced, and the newly appointed three governors - Huang Entong, Li Xingyuan, Liu Yunke, and Nanyang Minister Qi Shan, all of them were Mu Zhang'a's party, and those with a little bit of eyesight vaguely guessed that the imperial court was afraid that it was going to do something to Yuan Qi.

Xiguan, Lei Garden, Tingyuxuan.

Putting down the newspaper, Bao Shichen shook the folding fan and was silent, he expected that Mu Zhang'a would not let go of this opportunity, but he didn't expect that the action would be so fast, the minister of Nanyang, the three governors of the southeast were replaced one after another, this is not aimed at the Nanyang Navy, but Yuan Qi!

After thinking for a long time, he instructed the outside world: "Come here." ”

A little guy hurriedly walked in and bowed down and said, "What do you command, sir?" ”

"Go and ask Miss Lin, where is the big shopkeeper? Let's just say that I have something important to see the treasurer. Bao Shichen said slowly, for Yi Zhicontent, he was both speechless and helpless, saying that he was guarding, but the big shopkeeper couldn't even see a figure, no one knew where he went, and the only one who could know his whereabouts was his personal secretary Lin Meilian.

After a short time, Lin Meilian rushed over, and after entering the house to greet her, she said: "The big shopkeeper went to the Luoxi Ammunition Bureau, and it has been half a moon..... Before leaving, explain that unless there is something important, do not disturb it. ”

Don't bother, he is really full of confidence, really when the court doesn't dare to attack Yuan Qi? Bao Shichen secretly scolded himself before he said: "The situation has changed, and I bother Miss Lin to send someone to report to the big shopkeeper." ”

Hearing what Bao Shichen said, Lin Meilian naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Sir, wait a minute, I'll let someone report it." ”

Luoxi Ammunition Bureau, R&D workshop.

Yi Zhizu was hunched in the room with a drawing of a bullet design, and beside him was a brand new rear-loading needle-piercing rifle, the latest rear-loading rifle was invented by the Prussian Drezier, hence the name Drezer type firing pin gun.

It is said that the Drezer rifle was invented more than ten years ago, and after the Prussian government bought the invention, it was secretly produced by itself, and it was only recently that the gun was revealed, and he had just bought it from the French at a high price.

For this claimed most advanced rear-loading firing gun, Yi Zhishu really didn't look at it, he was interested in the Drezer type firing pin gun equipped with a fixed paper shell bullet, this paper shell bullet uses a paper tube as a cartridge case, the projectile, propellant and primer are integrated, and it has initially had the prototype of a metal shell fixed bullet, however, there is still a big gap with the metal shell fixed bullet of later generations.

Bullets, easy to know contentment can be said to have seen a lot, the internal structure section he has also seen, however, this thing is clear and clear, it is not easy to produce it, don't look at the bullet is small, but the process is extremely complex, he has seen an illustrated article about how to produce bullets before, faintly remembered more than ten processes, to put it simply, it is more difficult to make bullets than to make guns!

After drawing several pictures of the appearance and internal structure of the bullet, he lit a cigarette and examined it carefully, it is difficult to return, but no matter how difficult it is, the metal fixed bullet must be on, with his guidance, I don't believe that it can't be done! Getting up to open the door, he instructed the outside world: "Someone, call Chief Jin." ”

Lao Jin, who was only in his early forties, but looked like a little old man, quickly came over, closed the door, and Yi Zhizhi pushed a few drawings over, and said: "This is the construction diagram of the metal shell fixed bullet, top secret." ”

Top secret is the highest level of secrecy, listening to the word top secret, Lao Jin's expression suddenly became solemn, and he was able to sit in the position of R&D director, he himself has extremely rich experience, and he looked at it for a long time before he spoke: "Big shopkeeper, the difficulty of this metal bullet is not ordinarily small, not to mention anything else, just this cartridge shell, it is not ordinarily difficult." ”

Yi Zhizu nodded slightly: "Of course it's difficult, it's not difficult for Westerners to make it a long time ago, although the metal bullet is small, but the process is extremely complex, and it is also the key to the breech gun, if you can take it down, the entire R&D group will be rewarded, and each person will be rewarded with at least one body stock." ”

A lot of stocks? Lao Jin's eyelids jumped, and his body was worth two thousand taels of silver! This is an out-and-out heavy prize, and this is still doxxing, at least a penny! Such a heavy reward also shows the importance of this metal bullet, and he stammered a little: "Big shopkeeper..... Not kidding? ”

"When am I joking with you?" Yi Zhisuff said with a smile: "Organize manpower research and development, but remember, all those who come into contact must be isolated." ”

"Don't worry, we all know the rules." Lao Jin nodded hurriedly.

"One more point." Yi Zhizhi also advised: "The warhead and cartridge case are best made of copper-zinc alloy, so easy to process, of course, the performance of the bullet cannot be affected for the sake of convenient processing, but also consider the bearing capacity of the cartridge case, as for the proportion of copper and zinc, explore more." ”

After Lao Jin left, Yi Zhishu stretched his waist, slowly paced out of the room, and went straight out of the workshop to take a walk outside, the bullet process is not generally complicated, two or three years can be drummed out for mass production, he should burn high incense, in addition to the warhead shell, the primer and gunpowder also need to keep up, otherwise it is nonsense.

The R&D Department of the Ammunition Bureau is a large courtyard, covering a large area, the greening is also very good, and a lot of trees have been planted, but there are not many people living in it, and it is very clean, he does not plan to go home during this time, this year Ding is worried about the system is too troublesome, pay attention to many rules, do not drink coarse tea and light meals, do not share room with his wife and concubine, do not call silk string music, do not shave his head, do not change clothes, there are all kinds .....of things, it really makes him upset.

As far as he knows, there are actually many people who do not abide by these rules, but they are all secret, and many officials' wives and concubines are pregnant and give birth to children during the Ding Wei system, as for drinking and having fun, there are even more, he can't afford to provoke or hide?

After pacing for a while, he turned to the west, the gunpowder laboratory was in the most remote place to the west of the courtyard, since the metal bullet was developed by people, the propellant should also be synchronized, for the propellant of the bullet, he did not know much, only knew a little basic thing, in fact, the propellant used in the bullet was a controlled combustion.

For example, because the pistol has a short barrel and a small bullet charge, it must be a fast-burning type, while a rifle must be a slow-burning type because of the long barrel and a large bullet charge, and there are several shapes of propellant, spherical, sheet-shaped, columnar... Even if they only know these simple things, it is enough for them to avoid many detours.

Before he could reach the laboratory, Lao Jin quickly chased after him from the back door and said, "The big shopkeeper, the house said that there was an emergency, and he sent someone to ask the big shopkeeper to go back to the house." ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhishu hurriedly rushed out, knowing that there were not many people here, and he specially told him not to disturb if there was no important matter, unless there was something important or urgent, the government would never send someone to invite him.

Entering the garden from the back gate of Lei Garden, Lin Meilian greeted her and reported: "Mr. Bao said that the situation has changed, and he is anxious to see the Hou Ye, and in addition, Qi Zhitai also came to visit in person. ”

Qi Sun is also here? What happened? Yi Zhixiang immediately said: "Go see Mr. Bao first." ”

Listening to Yuxuan, Bao Shichen came out when he heard the voice, and chuckled: "The big shopkeeper Ding is worried about the vacancy, and it is really a change." As he spoke, he told me about the recent personnel changes.

Entering the house and sitting down, Yi Zhizhi said: "Is there any news in Nanyang?" ”

"Nope." After Bao Shichen finished speaking, his heart lit up, and he said tentatively: "It takes three years to conquer the South Seas? ”

Yi Zhishu smiled slightly, "The sea area of Java is vast, there are many islands, and there are many earth kings, it is not comparable to Luzon, and it is good to be able to conquer it in three years and five years." ”

"It's no wonder that the big shopkeeper is confident." Bao Shichen said with a smile: "Co-author, Mu Zhang'a is a toss in vain this time." ”

Yi Zhishu said slowly: "Prosperity and decline, he can't toss for two years, and by him, but the emperor's move is a little chilling, he can't wait to wait, this food is too ugly." ”

"I can't say that." Bao Shichen pondered and said: "Yuan Qi has indeed developed to the point where it is difficult for the imperial court to feel at ease, in all fairness, it can be regarded as an enlightened ..... today. ”

Yi Zhizhi nodded, "Although he is not a saint monarch today, he can also be called a Ming monarch, if he can sit in the world for another twenty years, he can also become a generation of saints, but it's a pity ......" ”

Seeing him sigh like this, Bao Shichen didn't know how to answer for a while, and immediately changed his head, "Lord Qi has been waiting for a long time, don't let him wait for a long time." ”

"Then I'll take my leave." Yi Zhizhi got up and walked away, and only after leaving the courtyard did he order: "Please go to the study, Lord Qi, I'll wash up a little and go over." ”

Qi Shan has indeed been waiting for a long time, in his status, there are really few people who can make him wait for such a long time, but he is not the slightest impatient, in the two years of the governor of Liangguang, he has a very thorough understanding of Yuan Qi and Yi Zhi, he knows very well that this time Yi Zhizhi Ding worries about the vacancy, things are definitely not so simple, if the court really has the heart to move Yuanqi, it must be more than worth the loss.

In recent years, Yuan Qi spent a lot of money on the construction and development of Shanghai and Baoshan, built factories, built railways, embankments, and wharves, and worked hard to attract businessmen, and spared no effort to accept and accommodate the victims of disasters in various provinces.

And he has long heard that Yuan Qi can't pour the water into Shanghai's business, and he can't insert a needle, which may be an exaggeration, but he is sure that if he, the minister of Nanyang, can't get the support of Yi Zhi, he will definitely be unable to move an inch in Shanghai.

After bathing and changing, Yi Zhishu came to the study, and when he entered the room, he arched his hand and said, "Rush back from Luoxi, let Lord Qi wait for a long time." ”

Yi Qishan got up and bowed back, and said with a smile: "The national city returns to its hometown and guards the system, closes the door to thank the guests, and the old man comes to visit, so it's good that the national city is not to blame." ”

"Lord Qi is polite." Yi Zhishu said and stretched out his hand and said, "Please-." ”

The two sat down, and Qi Shan said straightforwardly: "The national city is worried about the vacancy, the personnel in the southeast has changed greatly, and the old man has been transferred to the ..... of Nanyang. Speaking of this, he sighed lightly, "The Qing Dynasty has no one to match the national city in foreign affairs, foreign trade, southeast coastal defense, and factories and mines, transportation, etc., and the old man will resolutely let the virtuous when the national city defense period expires." ”

Yi Zhizu shook his head slightly, and said: "The iron-beaten yamen, the flowing official, is not afraid of adult jokes, when he is not an official, he wants to be an official, and when he is an official, he will know that the sea is dangerous. ”

Rapids retreating? No longer in office? Qi Shan couldn't help but be stunned, because of the unexpected death of his parents and disheartened? Or did the court's actions make him feel cold? After thinking about it, he felt impossible, not to mention the big industry of Yuanqinuo, which is Shanghai, how much effort did he spend? How can you give it away?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, "How can the national city ever walk on thin ice?" If you say that you are bold, the national city is enough to compete with Wen Ke Gong (Wang Ding, nicknamed Wen Ke. In comparison, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, from the capital to the locality, the most comfortable thing to do as an official is the national city. ”

Hearing him mention Wang Ding, Yi Zhizhi was a little sad, Wang Ding had a lot of support for him back then, and he had repeatedly protected him, but now he is gone, and he retracted his mind, he said: "This time and that time." ”

Hearing this, Qi Shan secretly thought in his heart, it seems that this kid is also very dissatisfied with this personnel change in the southeast, but he is also dissatisfied with this matter, and immediately changed the topic, and said again: "Nanyang Prime Minister Yamen, the old man must follow the rules." ”

Yi Zhizu nodded slightly, and said: "Europe has not been very peaceful in the past two years, and Western countries probably don't have the heart to make trouble in the Qing Dynasty, so Lord Qi doesn't need to worry about ......" ”

Europe is not at peace? Qi Shan was surprised, what he was most worried about was the conquest of the South Seas and the disputes between Western countries, and immediately asked: "Is this true?" ”

"Nature is true." Yi Zhizhi said: "Otherwise, how dare I conquer the South Seas?" Before, I judged that a large-scale economic crisis would break out in Europe this year, but I didn't expect that not only the economic crisis would break out, but also trigger a large-scale .... Insurrection. ”

I see, this strange kid dared to provoke a war with Spain and the Netherlands at the same time, it turned out that he had long expected a large-scale economic crisis to break out in Europe, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is really a fire in the fire, the old man is curious, how does the city judge?" ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled, "That's a long story." ”
