Chapter 85: The Acting School
In other words, in this winter, not everyone is as comfortable as Yang Feng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Dorgon was busy showing himself.
After showing the people of Jinan the demeanor of the Holy Lord Mingjun, as well as the majesty of the Qing Dynasty, he immediately went to climb Mount Tai once, and then went to Qufu to meet the Dacheng Holy Wenxuan Ancestor, which he added on behalf of his nephew, originally there was neither Dacheng nor Wenxuan, in addition to adding 100,000 acres of sacrificial fields to Yan Shenggong, as for where these sacrificial fields came from, there is no need to say more.
Then there was a prosperous era of eight desolations and salty songs.
It is said that in order to show his loyalty to the country, Yan Shenggong even changed into new clothes, although he did not shave his hair like Sun Zhiqi, the newly appointed squire of the military department, but he also took off the old official uniform of the former dynasty and wore the new clothes of the holy dynasty to pay homage to his ancestors.
I don't know if his ancestors can still recognize him.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
In short, with Kong Yinzhi changing into the yellow coat like a monkey, the Qing Dynasty finally gained the recognition of Confucianism and became another example of Yi Di entering China.
As for the Ming Emperor......
Let's play with this kind of lord of the scum!
There are so many spicy emperors in the world, why hang yourself on a tree.
Even if you defect to Li Zicheng, you can't defect to him!
Well, Li Zicheng was also very busy at this time.
He and Dolgon estimated that they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, anyway, the Shun army would not cross the Yellow River to the north, and the Qing army would not cross the Yellow River to the south, after all, he could not afford to provoke Dolgon, and Dolgon's current number one enemy was no longer him, so it was reasonable for the two to engage in a situation in this situation. Nikan led the elite of 10,000 Eight Banners and the 50,000 Shun Army led by Li Guo, one in Xinxiang and the other in Zhengzhou, and played a protracted confrontation across the Yellow River. For the time being, there is no worries about the Emperor Yongchang of Dashun, then he held high the banner of breaking the word and waved his army south, and then Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing all ran away, and the Shun army hit the bank of the Huai River like a broken bamboo, Li Zicheng soldiers were in Fengyang, Liu Fangliang soldiers were in Huai'an, Gao Yigong soldiers were in Hefei, and 400,000 Shun troops drank the Huai River and looked at the Yangtze River.
Yangzhou is stormy.
"Waste, it's all a bunch of waste, why don't I understand, one by one, there are soldiers, soldiers and generals, money and money, food and food, how can a group of rogues be beaten to the ground? Hundreds of thousands of troops are piled up there, even hundreds of thousands of pigs, and they will not let the soldiers come to the Huai River! ā
Yang Feng patted the map and said indignantly.
Although he was cut off by sea, his intelligence was not cut off, and he knew the movements of Li Zicheng and Dolgon, but it was just not timely enough.
"It's worrying to look at Yangzhou like this!"
Wu Sangui said worriedly.
This is not only worrying, it is simply no play, Li Zicheng's three-way army marched together in an arc-shaped encirclement to compress the past to Chuyang Erzhou, the periphery is nothing more than Hefei, Fengyang and Huai'an three points, one point broke and immediately collapsed, and Fengyang is designated as no play, as soon as I heard that Li Zicheng personally killed, Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude all ran away, only one Liu Liangzuo was left to guard there, although there is still the Huai River, but it is against Liu Liangzuo's glorious record in the past, it is estimated that Li Zicheng will have to run as soon as he crosses the river, and now it is just because of the Huai River block, Li Zicheng was not ready to cross the river
"What about Zuo Liangyu? Why didn't he send troops to rescue Hefei? ā
Yang Feng said.
Gao Yigong besieged Hefei, but Zuo Liangyu upstream did not send a single soldier to rescue.
"Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong, who guarded Hefei, have always been at odds, he will not be enthusiastic about relieving Huang Degong, and he is also quite dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty, plus he has always been accustomed to supporting troops and self-respect, and the orders to Nanjing are also yang and yin, it is estimated that this time he is thinking that after the strength of the rebellion is consumed by the four towns, he will go down the river with hundreds of thousands of troops under his department, so that he can take advantage of the fisherman, not only to solve the crisis faced by Nanjing, but also to take the opportunity to control the government!"
Zhang Mingzhen said with a sneer.
"I was really blind before, how did I raise such a group of wolf-hearted things!"
Yang Feng said sadly.
Of course, he is purely acting, he is happy at this time, Li Zicheng can have today is not to rely on him to stab Dolgon in the back, otherwise he would have let the Qing army go to Jiugong Mountain, how could he recover his strength so quickly and then drink the Ma Huai River. Of course, the play still has to be performed, after all, his country is falling, although the people in the occupied area are cheering to open the door to welcome the king. Li Zicheng's ability is like a bamboo, to a large extent, because the Ming army in Jiangbei is too bad, such as Liu Zeqing Gaojie and the like, the military discipline is so corrupt that the common people spontaneously organize to defend the city and prevent them from entering.
As for Yangzhou......
Imagine the spectacular scene of King Chuang torturing Yangzhou salt merchants with a stick, Yang Feng feels that the fall of Yangzhou will also fall.
"What is your best plan?"
Yang Feng said with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers can think of is to transfer the army to the south, but they can't transfer many men and horses, so they can't ignore Your Majesty's safety, right? At most, it is to send one or two thousand Jiangsu and Zhejiang troops to help, but even if the Jiangsu and Zhejiang troops are transferred to help, it must wait for the sea thaw and the transportation route is unblocked, and now all the warships are sealed in the port, no matter what you want to do, it is useless, you can only hope that the armies in Jiangbei can hold Fengyang and other places. ā
Gaudi said honestly.
"Well, let's do it first, I'm really exhausted right now."
Yang Feng covered his head and said gloomily.
The ministers hurriedly retreated, only Song Yingxing stayed, and then Yang Feng and he went to the military base in Xiluo City, at this time this huge factory is still busy, although the river freeze caused a lot of machinery to be unusable, but without these machinery is not impossible to work, but the output is affected, the largest iron-smelting blast furnace was stopped because the hydraulic blower was frozen, but several small iron-smelting blast furnaces that can use animal power blast have not stopped.
It is said to be small, but one furnace can produce more than 1,000 catties of pig iron.
Because of the use of selected iron ore, coupled with the application of desulfurization technology, the quality of these pig iron is far superior to the past.
The smelted molten iron flows directly into the nearby wrought iron furnace, and through the constant stirring of those shirtless men in the almost exact replica of the Pudelin furnace, the molten pig iron with high carbon content is gradually turned into molten iron with very low carbon content or can also be said to be mild molten steel, this thing Yang Feng actually doesn't understand what it is, basically it is something between wrought iron and low carbon steel, but because there is no large blower to cause the furnace temperature is not enough, the molten iron is in a semi-solidified state.
And this molten iron is then poured into molds to become iron ingots.
This is his steel mill.
These ingots also need to be burned red and repeatedly forged to squeeze out the remaining iron oxide slag inside, which could have been done by hydraulic forging hammers, but now can only be solved by those workers with sledgehammers.
After forging, the iron ingots become pieces of wrought iron plates that meet the specifications, these wrought iron plates are burned red and wrapped around the steel rollers and then welded to the seams, a wrought iron pipe is made in this way, and then the second layer of wrought iron is rolled into a rough barrel, of course, there are a lot of cumbersome procedures, especially the polishing of the inside of the barrel, which is very time-consuming, and the result of countless craftsmen's efforts can become a qualified swinger.
"The key is the manufacture of the pipe, and these small parts are effortless with good steel."
Song Yingxing said.
In front of them there was also a large row of small graphite crucibles, which were filled with molten steel, and here the small special parts on the rocks were cast, including the springs, which were also cast from the molten steel and then processed.
It's all easy.
But the inner wall of the drill pipe, in the absence of hydraulic machinery, can only use animal power, the speed is very slow, several days to drill one, this is fortunate to provide high hardness steel as a tool, otherwise it used to be a month to drill one.
"Don't worry about this, I've already solved it for you!"
Yang Feng said.
At the same time, a large number of brocade guards behind him came over carrying thin steel pipes, this is his solution, he really can't stand the output of the dangkou gun here, so he simply continued to plug in, he asked Xiaoqian to get a batch of small-diameter steel pipes, this thing has no problem with strength or inner diameter smoothness, the only problem is that the caliber is slightly larger than his dangkou, the diameter of the dangkou gun is nineteen millimeters, and this one is twenty, but he really can't find the nineteen millimeter steel pipe, fortunately, the difference of one millimeter is not big, It's nothing more than a thick bread outside the bullet.
"That's it!"
Song Yingxing said in surprise.
As for where these steel pipes come from, he didn't even ask about this, this must still be a reward from Taizu, it would be good to have an emperor who can communicate with the gods at any time!
"I gave you this gun, the rest is up to you, my requirements are not high, before the spring thaw, you must let every soldier of the new army have a swing gun in his hands, so you still need to make three thousand in a maximum of three months, if you can complete this task, then I will reward you with a viscount, and all the craftsmen here will be paid an additional three months' wages, and the firearms department will issue an additional three months' salary, but if you can't make it, then including you, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, plus all the officials of the firearms department will be deducted three months."
Yang Feng said.
"The prince will not live up to the grace of God."
Song Yingxing gritted his teeth and said.
That's it, Yang Feng's Dangkou battalion has been upgraded to the Dangkou Brigade, the official establishment includes an artillery battalion of twelve nine-pound field guns, that is, twelve pounds of bronze Napoleon guns, a cavalry reconnaissance battalion, and another four thousand-man infantry battalions, each battalion also has an artillery team of two four-and-a-half-pound field guns, that is, six-pound guns, the cannons have been made, but there are only 1,000 Dangkou guns, a total of 2,000 of this thing, Jinyiwei took five hundred, Wu Sangui and other generals took some more, only half of them were given to the Dangkou battalion.
If there are another 3,000 units, the brigade will be fully equipped, and then they will be able to start training.
Train with the life of a tartar.
