Steel Dynasty - Chapter 811

[Chapter 810 Ammunition in place]

Ge Yiren looked at the Confucian school under renovation with satisfaction.

Now that he is a bachelor of Hongwen Palace, he may enter the cabinet in the future. This is already a sign of a very popular minister.

It can be said that his purpose of coming to Qingzhou this time has been achieved.

But he also knew very well that these were given by Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming could also take them away. In order to keep them all, he had to fulfill his promise to the emperor.

Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang looked at the hanging plaque. The four gilded characters “Confucian School” on it were particularly eye-catching.

Beside them, Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing frowned, not knowing what these three people meant.

Today they were declaring their celestial theory in Dongshi, and the three of them invited them to the Confucian school in the name of Hongwendian Grand Scholar.

“Master Ge, this is a Confucian school. I don’t know what you mean by inviting me here for the second time. The two of us are talking about celestial science, not Confucian classics.” Huang Yanqing spoke first.

With a thick smile on his face, Ge Yiren said: “Don’t be anxious, you two. Who said that Confucian schools can’t teach celestial science? This time, my bachelor’s reopening of the school is to adapt to the current situation and be in harmony with the light.”

Yan Zheng Yi and Huang Yanqing looked at each other, becoming more and more confused.

Yu Zhiyong was an impatient person, so he said directly: “Don’t worry, you two. The three of us are just following orders and will not harm you. All we need is that you two explain our confusion for us. In this way, we can also be in the school.” The emperor

asked the Confucian scholars to get rid of the old and usher in the new. “

Huang Yanqing’s expression softened after hearing this, and he gradually understood, so he said: “That’s okay, but now that the Confucian students and merchants are in chaos in the city, aren’t the three great Confucians prepared to take care of it. “

Ge Yiren looked confident, and said: “You don’t have to worry about it, you can’t control it. These humanistic bachelors know it very well, and the more they care about it, the more they will slap their noses in their faces. Only if they suffer a little this time will they Change your ways and study New Confucianism with the three of us.”

“That’s it.” Huang Yanqing looked at Ge Yiren and thought that this person is indeed as thick-faced and sinister as the legend says, “In this case, we will ignore this matter now. He explained this celestial theory in detail to the three great scholars. “

Ge Yiren and the other three were extremely smart. Once they accepted this celestial body theory, they could master it very quickly. After Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing finished speaking, they also Basically I understand.

The three of them looked at the sun above their heads and said with emotion: “Listening to what you said is better than ten years of reading. It turns out that what is above your head is just a big fireball, and the moon is actually blocked during the Tengu Eclipse.”

After a pause, He asked: “In order to enlighten the

Confucian

scholars, we need your telescope. I hope you will cooperate. At the same time, I hope you can give more examples to prove this.”

We both know everything about this matter.” Huang Yanqing was a little excited.

In fact, it was easier for the common people and merchants to believe them, but the Confucian scholars were unwilling to believe it. Now that Ge Yiren came forward, they were naturally happy to save trouble.

Ge Yiren nodded. Although he agreed to Xiao Ming this time, in his opinion, the promotion of New Confucianism was still arduous. This time New Confucianism basically destroyed the foundation of previous Confucianism.

So in addition to asking Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing to assist him, he was also preparing to go to Qufu in person. As long as the Kong family opened their mouth, the matter of New Confucianism would basically be settled.

Because the final doubts in Confucianism are all answered by the Confucian family. The Confucian family does not deny that everything he says is right.

Thinking of this, he decided to go to Qufu, but he was not in a hurry to go. He was waiting for the day when Jinzhou City was destroyed. In this way, he believed that his trip would be easier, and it would be worth delaying for a while. of.

at the same time.

The military workshop sent a group of craftsmen to Pingzhou City. These craftsmen would be responsible for teaching new artillery shells. After seven days on the road, they arrived at Pingzhou City and brought the first batch of artillery shells and mines to the army.

“New type of explosive bomb.” Luo Xin’s eyes almost dropped when he heard the news.

He was an artilleryman and was very concerned about artillery shells. When the people from the military workshop arrived, he was the first to run over. He was shoulder to shoulder with the craftsmen of the military workshop along the way, and he didn’t look like he was a leader in the military.

The craftsman in charge of teaching said: “This kind of explosive shells are different from the shells fired by mortars. They can be directly used in field artillery.”

After hearing this, Luo Xin was as anxious as if he was holding back his urine, his heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly pulled the craftsman. Go to a demo out of town.

At this time, Lu Fei, Lei Ming and others also came after hearing the news, and everyone gathered around to watch the fun.

Although the craftsmen in the military workshops have no official or postal positions, they have always been highly respected in the military. Even the generals are polite, for fear of offending the people in the military workshops and causing problems with the weapons.

Facing a group of well-known generals from the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the craftsman remained calm and composed. He asked the artillerymen to demonstrate the power of the new type of explosive ammunition.

When the explosive bomb exploded in the distance, Luo Xin and others suddenly opened their mouths in surprise, and when they saw the power of the mines, they were even more happy from ear to ear.

“Don’t talk about Jinzhou, I can also defeat Shengdu.” Lu Fei laughed.

Luo Xin lamented: “This military workshop is really powerful. It can produce such artillery shells, but these artillery shells are expensive.”

“That’s natural, the price of this fuse is equal to the previous artillery shells .

And because the structure is complicated and the production speed is not fast, you can save some money.”

Lei Ming said happily; “Don’t be afraid, once Jinzhou City is destroyed, there will be as many slaves as you need, so don’t worry about not having enough manpower.

” Don’t worry about the barbarian slaves, if they learn this, you will suffer.” The craftsman shook his head.

The three of them looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

After verifying the new ammunition, the three of them pulled out the artillery the next day and began training on the use of explosive ammunition. At the same time, a reinforced company consisting of more than 300 people was selected.

What these soldiers accepted was the laying of mines. They were responsible for secretly laying mines at night to attack the barbarian cavalry by surprise.

A month later, the first batch of ammunition from the military workshop arrived. After more than a month of production, the military workshop produced 4,000 explosive bombs and 3,500 landmines.

In this battle of Jinzhou, they will use a mixture of solid bullets and grapeshot to tilt the artillery fire.

On May 18th, the Battle of Jinzhou, which had been delayed for a month, began.

When he was at night, Lu Fei ordered his soldiers to lay out mine formations near Jinzhou City, and at the same time allocated a number of explosive shells to the artillery to deal with the cavalry.

After the integration of the three armies, the army headed towards Jinzhou, and the dark clouds of war once again enveloped the peaceful area outside the Pass for two months.

Wu Shugu and Bei Shanju in Jinzhou felt their hearts sink when they learned that the Chongqing army had sent troops to Jinzhou. The failure of Pingzhou City made them no longer dare to underestimate this once weak enemy.
