Chapter 167 Demon Revision Three-Sided Army Assassination In fact, the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, from top to bottom, has never been truly fair.Even the number of students in the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination is almost divided among the local clans and gentry, and it is almost impossible for the real poor children to get ahead.Unless you have obvious talent, you can be promoted by the prefect and you can get passed.The biggest unfairness of the imperial examination is not like the answer to a math question is one, if you write two, it is wrong, and if you write one, it is correct, and no one can erase it.As long as the ideological connotation is correct and generally not bad, the subjective factor of man is very important.Say you can't do it, you can't do it, you can't do it.Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and if you really meet a scholar and are good at figuring out people's hearts, you can still stand out.In this case, Guozijian, who can bypass the government examination and get the opportunity to participate in the township examination, is in demand.The imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, like in later generations, adopted the model of regional division, and in some places, education was backward, and the imperial examination was relatively easy.The Guozijian is quite a supercar on the imperial examination track, and those who have not entered the government, state, or county school and want to take the township examination, or who have not obtained the name of the department and want to enter the office, must first donate to the prison students.Just like Zhou Jin in "Fan Jin Zhongju", Zhou Jin was not a student, only because of the help of fellow villagers and friends to buy academic qualifications, and later he was admitted to the lifting of people, won the Jinshi, the top three in the palace examination, and finally promoted to the imperial history, hand-picked Guangdong to learn Taoism.Only then did I have a fate with Fan Jin.The quota given by Yuan Keli to Quan Xu is actually to provide Quan Xu with a convenient way to take the township test.Quan Xu looked at this letter and the letter of entering the Guozijian, but he was a little embarrassed, "Do you want to go to Beijing or not?"
”The advantage of going to Beijing is obvious, that is, you can get a diploma, which is higher than lifting people.In addition, as long as Quan Xu goes to Beijing, he can use his own money to fool some talents, and at the same time, he can also take advantage of the decay of the Ming Dynasty to get a large number of excellent craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry or Shaofu.However, there are advantages to not going.As early as April of the second year of Chongzhen, Baishui Wang Er opened the curtain of the mighty peasant uprising.Although Wang Er was quickly suppressed.However, Fugu Wang Jiayin, Anzhai Gao Zhengxiang, Yichuan Wang Zuohang, Feishan Tiger, Big Red Wolf, Luochuan Wang Hu, Black Evil God, Yanchuan Wang Monk, Gansu Qingyang Han Chaozai, Wudu Zhou Dawang and other peasants also raised flags and revolted.Rebel armies were active throughout Shaanxi, eastern Gansu, and northern Sichuan.If there was no Houjin into the Kou, the peasant uprisings in Shaanxi and Gansu would have been suppressed, but at the critical moment, the governor Mei Zhilian and the governor of Shanxi Geng Ruqi led the elite troops to Qinwang, but these rebellions were revived.Jeon Wook seemed to smell the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.He needs to do a lot, for example, to complete the construction of the castle as soon as possible, to absorb the people of Liaodong as soon as possible, to expand the army, and at the same time, to strengthen military equipment.Quan Xu smiled: "Mr.
Sun, I will prepare as soon as possible, and I will go north to Beijing in a few days, or will we go together?"
”Sun Xiangrong shook his head: "Quan Gongzi, the old slave has other important things, so I won't accompany Gongzi to the north!"
”"That's it!"
Quan Xu looked at Yuan Shiqing and said, "Steward Yuan, let you prepare some souvenirs for Mr.
Sun!"
”Some of Quan Xu are three carts of sweet potatoes, three carts of potatoes, and two carts of corn, as well as some silk and the cash cow sent by Cao Ning, of course, Quan Xu took off the red sandalwood box, wrapped it in red silk, and stuffed it directly to Sun Xiangrong.Sun Xiangrong looked at the cash cow and eight carts of local products, and secretly gave a thumbs up to Quan Xu: "Go on the road!"
”Although it is said that Guozijian can donate money and spend money, the key is that Yuan Keli did not let Quan Xu pay."
Quan Gongzi, farewell!""
Have a nice trip!"
Quan Xu smiled bitterly: "Cherish the peaceful days in front of you, our good days are numbered!"
”"Quan Ye means ......"
"Nothing!"
Quan Xu turned to look at Yuan Shiqing and said, "Our grain is no longer sold to the outside world, and it is the same for anyone." ”"But, Master, our current grain wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes add up to more than one million stones!"
Yuan Shiqing smiled bitterly: "Even if the tax is removed, we won't be able to finish it!"
”"If these people can't finish eating now, it doesn't mean that they will be in the future!"
Quan Xu knew very well that once Houjin broke through the barrier, the people in the north would move south, and where there was food, they would run there.Quanxu originally planned to replace all the houses of the Zhuang households with brick houses, however, the problem is that it is too late now.Quanjiazhuang Town is developing almost every day, in addition to Quanxu's blacksmith workshop, more than a dozen blacksmith shops have been opened one after another, clanging iron all day long.Naturally, they didn't have iron, but Quan Xu had good steel in their hands, so they bought steel from Niu Jie Gong to make kitchen knives, hoes, birch plows, wood knives, forks and other agricultural tools, and some made knives, spears, hammers, axes and other blades.Just a dozen miles away from the Quanxu kiln is located in Nanle County, which does not belong to the territory of Quanxu, and opened a bricklayer workshop, and dozens of people are busy mining mud and making tiles and burning tiles.No matter how many tiles they produce, the construction site of Quanxu's side can be used up, and every kiln tile burned represents a sum of money.At this time, the town of Quanjiazhuang, driven by the construction of Quanxu Castle, also emerged many shops and small workshops.At this time, the town of Quanjiazhuang was like a huge whirlpool, frantically devouring the surrounding resources, such as wood, coal, masonry, cloth, hemp rope and other materials.Quan Xu never took it by force, he would only buy all kinds of materials according to the market price, or slightly higher than a part of the market price, because the shipment volume was very large, the original road on the ground, was also built by merchants, or built a canal.In fact, Quanjiazhuang Town is only located on the road from Daming County to Nanle County, and now there are roads leading to Quanjiazhuang Town in Kaizhou, Cizhou and Wei County.Of course, the current road is still just an ordinary dirt road, but this is a new beginning.The development of Fumin Street is getting better and better, there are more than a dozen pharmacies alone, as well as a medical center specializing in treating bruises, and a veterinarian who treats cattle and horses.In addition to Tang Qiu's Tang Kee foot clothing store, like Feng Ji's glove shop, there are several newly opened ready-to-wear stores, and even the rouge gouache shop has also opened on Fumin Street.Cao saw that Fumin Street was becoming more and more prosperous, and proposed to let the Women's Square open a branch.was directly rejected by Quan Xu.At present, Fu Man Street does not actually have the consumer group of Women's Square.However, after a new round of expansion, the store area of Quanji Bank on Fumin Street is no smaller than that of Daimyo Fucheng, and it is the most majestic building on Fumin Street.Just when the preparations for the collective wedding in Quanjiazhuang Town were almost completed, and Quan Xu was about to send invitations to Lu Xiangsheng and other officials of the Daimyo Mansion, Niu Jieshi found Quan Xu."
Master Quan, the sword you asked me to build, we made it!""
Great!"
The bumpy road in the initial development of the musket was actually because one thing was not invented, and that was the bayonet.Although the muskets are very powerful, they do not fire quickly, especially when they are close to each other, and the musketeers are almost powerless to fight back.Of course, it's not that the ancients weren't smart enough to think of a solution to the problem, the main thing is that there was no standardization in this era, just like the caliber of the barrel of the gun, which ranged from nine millimeters to more than twenty millimeters, and the barrel was different in thickness due to the lack of mass.It's like the kind of bayonet that came later, and it can't be loaded at all.If you equip a firecracker with a waist knife, it will affect the activities of the firecracker, after all, the firecracker's firecracker, plus lead bullet and gunpowder, the armor is already very heavy.Quan Xu thought of the triangular military thorn of the later generations, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty could not standardize the fire gun, but Quan Xu could, and the seamless steel pipes he purchased from the later generations were all unified systems.Then to build a bayonet, there are innate conditions.Otherwise, how can one fire gun with a caliber of fifteen millimeters, and another twenty millimeters, be equipped with bayonets?
Not to mention a difference of five millimeters, even if it is a millimeter, the bayonet is easy to fall off.When Quan Xu followed Niu Jiejian to the army training ground, he looked at the three-sided military thorn in front of him.It is about one foot eight inches (about fifty-six centimeters) long, and the entire saber and handle are all cast, which is slightly different from the three-sided military thorn of later generations, this three-edged structure is made of high-carbon steel, and after heat treatment, it looks murderous.This is a modified version of Quan Xu's five-six three-edged military stab and delta tactical dagger, which not only designs a twisted three-sided blade, but also has three sides in the center of the knife body, with nine bloodletting holes on each side.In addition, these excretomy holes are connected to the guide hole in the center of the knife body and lead directly to the hollow shank.According to the nature of human blood adsorption, it is often difficult to stab it and pull it out."
How's it going!""
Very good!"
Liu Xingzuo was very excited: "The most disgusting thing about the guns is that the self-protection ability is too weak, after shooting a bullet, the enemy rushed to the front without waiting for the second shot, only the part that was cut, and it would be different if there was such a sharp weapon, at least the guns could protect themselves......"
Quan Xu's fire gun for the soldiers of the family is made of seamless steel pipes unified with the Dongjiang Army, except for the difficulty of building the barrel, for any craftsman, making a gun is as simple as drinking water and eating.Luo Shiming said with some palpitations: "Master, this sword is a bit evil!"
”"Evil Gate!""
Yes!""
It's not sharp, but it's so sharp that it can be worn through even the skull!
Once stabbed by it, the wound is not big, but it cannot heal, and the blood will keep gushing, even if it is stabbed in the arm or thigh, the blood will drain in the effort of a meal, and it cannot be cured!
