Chapter 472 The necessary procedures for forging ahead and innovating are not actually foreign patents.If any country or nation loses its keen innovation and enterprising, it will be eliminated by history.Historically, China has always been at the forefront of the world, but it is only backward in the Inuqing era.However, military reform has relied on powerful industry, agriculture, economy, military, education, culture, science and technology, and so on.Just like Germany during World War II, Germany's military development, especially the military development of the army, achieved world-famous achievements, however, Germany's agriculture and economy did not develop accordingly, and finally the root cause of Germany's demise was laid.However, the development of Liaodong is not based on military science and technology, but on the contrary, it is based on the economy, and the economy is used to promote the progress of military science and technology.In particular, the victory in the Battle of Quang Ninh made the General Staff of the whole army see the huge role of the four-wheeled carriage in the war, even in a field situation, it is realistic for the musketeers to want to fight the cavalry alone.Many people will say that the emergence of muskets, the cavalry should withdraw from the historical development stage, in fact, far from it, even during World War II, the German army's firepower was intensive, which is universally recognized, that is, at the end of World War II, the US military can compete.Of course, the Polish cavalry staged the tragic grandeur of the cavalry stabbing the tank with a spear, which just shows a problem, if you charge with your life regardless of casualties, the cavalry has a chance to assault in front of the infantry.Unless, with the machine guns and tanks of later generations, so that the cavalry can be completely driven out of the stage of history, Quan Xu did not guide the whole army to carry out a comprehensive redress.However, taking advantage of the victory in the Battle of Quang Ninh, the General Staff after analysis believed that the combination of the carriage and the musketeers was an effective way to deal with the cavalry.Take the four-wheeled carriage of the whole family army as an example, a carriage can carry twelve to fifteen firecrackers, and the four-wheeled carriage can be equipped with a partial shield, so that the firearms on the carriage have the protection of the shield, which can kill and injure the cavalry of Jiannu and better protect themselves.Therefore, the General Staff of the Whole Family Army modified the four-wheeled carriages of the Fourth Brigade on the basis of 1,050 vehicles, and in order to enhance the suitability of the carriages on the battlefield, this kind of carriages were replaced with wheels made of steel.However, the wheels made of pure steel were too bulky to affect the mobility of the carriage, and these staff officers led craftsmen to reduce the weight of the wheels and carriages.As a result, a scene that made Quan Xu unbelievable appeared, the wheel was actually made into the situation of later generations, and the hollow design was adopted.The bottom panel of the car is also designed with a grid to reduce weight as much as possible.In this way, the four-wheeled carriage will accompany the whole family army in battle.It can not only undertake the task of transportation, but also use the tall body of the four-wheeled carriage to quickly form a car formation at a critical moment.There are some things that Quan Xu can't stop, that is, the love for armor, with the increase in the population of Liaodong, the base of the whole family army selection has become larger, and the whole family army teaching brigade directly under the General Staff has increased a small force of 500 people.The soldiers of this army are composed of tower-like northern men, with an average height of six feet, equivalent to one meter and eight or nine, and a man is tall and a horse, and his body is as strong as an ox.These sturdy soldiers were dressed in the newly created stamping plate armor of the whole family army, which after heat treatment, could basically ignore the shooting of bows and arrows, and their weapons, although not Mo Dao, were similar to Mo Dao.If you don't have an impression of the Pu knife, then you can compare Guan Erye's Qinglong Yanyue knife, so that since then, this hoplite has held a nineteen-pound Pu knife and carried more than forty pounds of heavy armor.If it weren't for the overflow of steel in Liaodong, the general staff of the whole family army would not have armed a soldier with sixty or seventy pounds of steel.In addition to four-wheeled chariots and hoplites, the changes reported to Quan Xu by the General Staff of the Whole Family Army also include a chariot weighing more than 3,000 catties and driven by a two-headed vehicle.The biggest difference between this kind of chariot and the four-wheeled carriage is that the cab is added, no, it should be said that the power room, that is, the ox that pulls the cart, has a protective shell.At the front is a steel knife with 16 knives on one side that can be moved left and right, just like a Semen knife cart.Using the wheels of the ox cart as the driving force, the sixteen steel knives move left and right to kill and injure the enemy, and the front and rear of the ox cart are equipped with shields, once they rush to the battlefield, they will ignore the opponent's bows and arrows, as well as swords and spears.It's simply a tank in the era of cold weapons.Quan Xu looked at these reports and was a little speechless.He thought that only Ah San's brain was big enough, and in the Indian movie "Baahubali King", Bharadiva drove a chariot with a spinning knife and rushed towards the enemy.However, this is only a movie, and as a result, the craftsmen actually got one such chariot.If Quan Xu was just a reform in the direction of cold weapons, Quan Xu felt that he was going crazy, and finally let him see a reform, that is, mortar.These craftsmen were inspired by the principle of condensation in the tree wells used to make iron nails.The so-called Shujing condensation casting method, because there was no wire drawing machine in this era, it was very difficult to obtain iron wire or steel wire, this kind of thing, Quanxu can buy in later generations.However, the problem is that during this time, Quan Xu did not return to the future generations at all, and the craftsmen accidentally discovered that they could condense from the tree well, relying on the principle of gravitational force, and put the molten steel into a chute, and when condensing, the mold was like a mold for casting an iron pot, but this kind of abrasive tool was a thin hole.In this way, it is possible to obtain steel wire or iron wire.The source of inspiration for discovering the craftsman was actually obtained from the briquette mold, which is also invincible.Since you can get a steel wire, then you can also get a hollow steel pipe, which can avoid hollows and bubbles due to the effect of water cooling, and at the same time, you can also get a barrel with a caliber of about two hundred millimeters.Thus, the 200-millimeter mortar cannon of the whole family army appeared in this way, and the 200-millimeter mortar cannon of the whole family army weighed 2,200 catties, and the barrel length was 2.6 meters, which could fire more than 30 kilograms of shells into a range of up to 2,000 steps, and the shells of more than 30 kilograms could charge nearly 40 kilograms, and the power was quite good.The problem is that this stupid mortar is not an ideal weapon, it is too heavy, it is difficult to operate, and if you want to maneuver with the whole army, it will be a disaster for the whole army.Of course, on the cement road, you can rely on war horses to drag, but given Huang Taiji three guts, he didn't dare to go to southern Liaoning to cause trouble.In any case, the 200-millimeter mortar cannon can be regarded as an improvement, and in the original history, it was similar to the Weiyuan General Cannon, but the power was too different.However, Jeon Wook was in no mood to care about these things.Because, he was forced to take a wife.No one can resist the emperor's will, unless Quan Xu is willing to pull the flag and rebel now, the key is that he knows that if he pulls the flag and rebels, the happiest person will definitely be Huang Taiji.So, to put it bluntly, Quan Xu reluctantly endured it for the sake of the overall situation.The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette come to teach Quanxu etiquette every day, and the process of learning anything is painful, especially in the compulsive learning without interest.But fortunately, Quan Xu is used to being "domineering", and he dares to beat more than a dozen officials in the court, and these officials of the Ministry of Rites do not dare to embarrass Quan Xu.Until the night of July 19th.Wang Chengen took four palace ladies to Quan Xu's mansion, originally Quan Xu bought a house by himself in the capital, but he was about to become Quan Xu's brother-in-law, and Chongzhen gave Quan Xu another house.This house is in the Dongzhi Gate of the inner city, close to the location of Guozijian, the mansion is not too big, covering an area of more than ten acres, but the decoration is extremely luxurious.It is said that this mansion was originally the residence of Zheng Guotai, the younger brother of Emperor Zheng's concubine, and when he was powerful and powerful, he served as the governor of the military position.However, Emperor Zheng died two years ago, and Zheng Guotai was more than ten years ago.This mansion is Queen Zhou's father Zhou Kui fell in love with this mansion, he begged Queen Zhou to ask for it, and he was rolling around, it happened that Chongzhen had no good impression of Emperor Zheng's concubine, so he found a reason to collect the Zheng family's mansion and confiscate the family property.Zhou Kui worked hard for more than a year, and as a result, he made a wedding dress for Quan Xu, and this house was picked up by the Zheng family and directly replaced with a plaque in the Wuwei Hou Mansion."
Hey, Princess, what kind of wind blew you here today?"
Quan Xu drank tea and looked at Wang Chengen with a smile.Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Master Ma, our family is the slave in front of the emperor, father-in-law, I don't dare to be it!"
”"Humble isn't it!"
Although Wang Chengen is very loyal to Chongzhen, however, there are some problems with his ability, otherwise he would not have accompanied Chongzhen to the coal mountain at a critical moment.Wang Chengen smiled."
Come here tonight, what's the matter?"
Only then did Quan Xu find out that Wang Chengen was followed by four women in palace clothes: "These are the ......"
Quan Xu stared at Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen did not smile with a smile, which made Quan Xu's heart a little hairy.Quan Xu looked at Wang Chengen and said, "What does this mean today?"
”Wang Chengen whispered in Quan Xu's ear.As the saying goes, the emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married.This is an eternal truth.Due to the noble blood of the imperial family, the emperor's daughter will become the coveted goddess in the hearts of men, no matter what she looks like.And thousands of men, once they can climb to the princess, they will become relatives of the emperor.Although there is no real power, it can be said that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking Lazar for the rest of your life.However, in ancient times, even if you were favored by the princess, if you wanted to be a concubine, you had to go through a strict test before you could get your wish.And the work of this test is completed by the closest and most heartfelt maid around the princess, that is to say, the princess's maid is the examiner of whether you can be a colt or not.Quan Xu's situation is a bit special, he is a marriage, not to mention that he has no physical problems, even if there is a problem, it is not the turn of Princess Anqing to oppose or refuse to marry.However, the necessary procedures still have to be followed.
