Chapter 245: The Big Deal


Chapter 245 Big Deal This is another true statement.

As an engineering geek with practical experience, Zhu Bayi received enough scientific knowledge from the memory of another time and space.

Therefore, he could relatively easily guide the craftsmen to enlarge the original firecrackers into artillery through repeated experiments.

And he firmly believes that firearms will replace cold weapons, and equips his army with as many artillery pieces as possible.

However, he knew nothing about the long evolution process of specific firearms replacing cold weapons, as well as the strategies and tactics of firearms troops.

This has led to the fact that all the Huai'an Army's current tactics were figured out in the dark.

Since there is no object to imitate from the military books of the predecessors, no one can tell clearly which method is more reasonable.

And although firearms played a very important role in the previous field battles, they were not as devastating as everyone had imagined.

Especially the artillery, the power of the four-pound cannon is astonishing.

If it hits the target, both men and horses will be smashed.

If it forms a ricochet, it can smash a bloody alley in the enemy's formation.

However, not every cannonball can jump up again after landing.

Most of them can only cause one-time damage to the enemy, or even fall into the air and have no effect.

Especially when the enemy adopts a dispersed array and approaches quickly, the kill rate of solid bullets will instantly drop to an unacceptable level.

On the other hand, shotguns wrapped in silk often bring unexpected surprises to everyone.

In addition, since the maximum range of the four-pound cannon was only 350 or 60 steps, and the airborne time was too short, the explosive shells that relied on powder wire to detonate became very useless.

The powder line often falls to the ground before it has finished burning.

A huge impact causes the powder line to be thrown out.

The probability of misfiring is surprisingly high.

In most cases, the lethality is not as good as ordinary solid bullets.

From the perspective of future generations, the power of the artillery used by the Huai'an Army at this time is far from comparable to that of the Fo Lang machine cannon and the red cannon in another world's history.

After going through the test of these battles, there is an urgent need for improvement and improvement.

As for the tactics of new artillery and gunmen, as well as the coordination of firearms and cold weapon troops, it will also take some time to digest the experience accumulated recently, and do everything possible to make up for the problems discovered in the battle.

Therefore, for the Huai'an army, the best choice at the moment is definitely not to cross the Yangtze River and plunder food.

Instead, they took advantage of the geographical conditions of the occupied area surrounded by water and the fact that the enemy had not found an effective way to deal with firearms to improve their combat effectiveness and always be one step ahead of the court.

Otherwise, once the imperial court makes up for its shortcomings in firearms, or finds out experience in dealing with artillery and muskets, no matter how much territory it currently occupies, it will be taken away piece by piece.

"I know everything you said."

After being discouraged by three people one after another, Zhu Bayi's face looked a little embarrassed.

"We are also trying to find a solution.

But the victims of the disaster in Yangzhou City cannot wait."

In the Huai'an system he built with his own hands, he was a god for a long time.

He is capable of almost anything and always creates miracles at the most critical moments.

Everyone is also used to worshiping him as a god, and when they encounter problems, they come to him for the final answer.

However, as the Huai'an army becomes stronger and stronger, everyone themselves are also constantly growing.

The "god" he once was became less and less effective.

It is increasingly unable to live up to everyone’s expectations.

For example, he didn't want to solve the problem of the range and power of the four-pound cannon, but he didn't know how to solve it with the current technical conditions.

The six-pound cannon, which is more powerful and has a range of up to a thousand steps, has already been built.

When combined with explosive shells, the effect is significantly improved compared to the four-pound cannon.

However, the six-pound cannon weighs more than 2,000 kilograms and can only be mounted on ships.

For land warfare, it is necessary to develop special horse-drawn artillery carts, wheels that can handle muddy and soft roads, and a series of supporting products that can quickly reset the artillery.

However, he had no time to wait any longer.

After fighting for such a long time, his soul is no longer the former engineering geek plus aboriginal geek.

But he is not so cruel that he can watch more than 600,000 people starve to death.

If the regime he established with his own hands was still cruel to the people of Meng Yuan, he couldn't see the meaning of such a regime's existence.

"Actually, it's not necessarily that you can't wait.

It seems to me that you are still too soft-hearted and can't bear to take the knife.

You always think that everyone is one of your own, but you don't think carefully about those landlords and rich people.

Who is willing to sincerely follow you?

You're all the way."

Mengcheng's chief manager, Mao Gui, saw Zhu Bayi was in trouble and sneered but interrupted.

He had just returned after attending the public trial.

The old men on the jury were so angry that they were so angry that when they found the opportunity, they wanted to deal with them, "Do you think those old men really stayed in the city just for two bowls of gruel?

Although their family business in the city was ruined.

There are those who have no property of their own outside the city and in the surrounding villages.

They stay in the city just to join forces and get a share of your Yangzhou city government.

You are so good, but you still do this.

He actually invited them into the Yamen."

"Aren't they those old bastards?

They didn't want to show any shame at all.

In front of Luo Canjun, they wanted to collude and bend the law for personal gain.

After being exposed, they actually dared to threaten Luo Canjun not to make enemies for the general manager, as if they were the only ones who wanted to do it.

He is like the master of Yangzhou City."

Ye Dexin, who joined the army, walked in, put the trial record on the table, and added angrily.

"General Manager, our good intentions were really taken advantage of this time."

"That person who is not old enough should be killed, except Zhang Mingjian."

"They can't be considered refugees at all.

As soon as the public trial ended, they were carried away in a sedan chair by servants."

Other civil and military officials came in one after another, all filled with indignation.

"This" Zhu Bayi was slightly startled, and the expression on his face became more and more embarrassed.

Although Mr.

Su who was on the jury was not recruited by him personally, when he asked his subordinates to carry out the execution, he did say that he wanted to find those who were well-known in the local area.

I thought that through the influence of these famous Su Lao, the Huai'an Army's governance system could be more deeply embedded among the people.

But I didn't expect that someone would take advantage of such a big loophole, and it almost backfired.

"If you don't believe me, go and send someone secretly to see where the old people live and what they eat."

Thinking that Zhu Ba11 didn't believe what everyone said, Mao Gui continued to sneer and finish the attack.

"Your two bowls of porridge, the servants don't even bother to eat them.

The only reason to fight back is to recruit more losers.

If we arrest them all one by one, and then take people to search outside the city, plus the ones on Yangzhou Road Those Wubao, let alone 600,000 mouths, can easily provide enough food for millions of people for a year. " "The textile workshops in the city have been burned down.

But the porcelain kilns and pottery workshops outside the city are all doing well.

In the past two days, some people have announced that they will provide one meal a day and recruit people to work for them.

There are also nearby Some forts, a few bowls of white rice, just buy half-grown children Become a domestic slave.

If you sign a life-and-death contract, even the children born to the slave belong to the master and can be disposed of as he pleases.

If you make a mistake, you deserve to be beaten to death."

Zhang Shicheng and Wang Kerou have been staying in Yangzhou.

They are not aware of the local situation.

The more careful you understand, the more shocking the truth you tell.

"Kill them all.

Kill them all, and there will be food.

Anyway, they will never be of the same mind as us."

Zhu Chongba walked in last and encouraged loudly.

This sentence made many people’s eyes light up.

They all turned their heads to Zhu Bayi, and as soon as the chief manager gave the order, they all rushed out.

Fight against the local tyrants, divide the land, fight against the capitalists.

In an instant, such words popped into Zhu Bayi's mind.

Because he had too many official duties to deal with, he did not attend the trial in person during the day.

But just now I learned some details through people’s mouths.

The performance of the old men really disappointed him.

But because of this, he regarded these people as enemies, and he was a little bit unable to be cruel.

"Don't think that they will sincerely help you if they get on the pole.

They don't want to interfere too much and snatch the meat from their bowl.

They have been riding on the heads of the people for many years, and they have already figured out a way A whole set of methods to bully people.

No matter how you change the jury, most of them will still be theirs, and they have never changed themselves.

As ordinary people, if something happens, they will speak for their own people first, regardless of the circumstances.

Even if they really burn down all their property, they are still the masters, and they will still force us to obey them.

Rules, let them continue to ride on the heads of the common people."

Really annoyed by Zhu Bayi's slowness, Mao Gui, the chief manager of Mengcheng, continued to add loudly.

Based on the facts he observed during the day, the gentry and the common people were almost natural enemies.

Unless it's a young man like Robben who has nothing to do with the local government, you can't expect any official to make decisions for the people.

After all, most educated officials came from gentry families.

If everything goes toward ordinary people, it will betray the interest groups they belong to and make them intolerable to the entire local "upper class."

On the contrary, even if they bend the law for personal gain, as long as they are towards the gentry, they are still virtuous people with perfect moral character and role models for everyone to learn and admire.

Class Struggle Zhu Bayi was stunned again, eyes wide open.

Thanks to the extra six hundred years of accumulated knowledge, what Mao Gui said was effortless to understand, and he could sum up more abstract and incisive principles.

The problem is, understanding is one thing, being able to solve the problem is another.

In later generations, there was a Soviet empire in the north.

It spent decades wiping out the landlords and capitalists.

Then overnight, those who claimed to serve the people wholeheartedly became the targets of their own annihilation in the past.

And he did even worse than those who had been eliminated.

The whole country is also in pieces Zhu Bayi was in another branch of time and space, and basically failed in political science.

I don’t understand, and I can’t understand whether the so-called labor pain is necessary.

All he knew was that those who screamed and endured labor pains every day never felt any pain.

Everyone made a lot of money, and their figures waving banknotes were left all over the world.

In contrast, there is a cold house in winter because they can't afford the heating bill, and a pair of desperate eyes in the house.

He didn't have the courage to try this kind of reincarnation.

Nor do I want it to happen to the regime I created with my own hands.

He is an engineering geek combined with an aboriginal geek, and what beats in his chest is the heart of a commoner.

No matter what, you can't be too good and forget your feelings.

I can't stop talking nonsense and stand on the corpses and shout, "This is the price we have to pay for the future."

Those were the people he despised in his previous life, and he couldn't let himself despise himself after waking up in the middle of the night.

While he was confused, he heard Zhu Chongba say, "In fact, it's okay not to kill people.

Take all the ownerless porcelain kilns, workshops and apprentices outside the city into our hands.

We will recruit our own craftsmen and open porcelain kilns and workshops in large areas.

The goods produced will then be sold by the government and transported to the south to be exchanged for grain.

Then the docks will be controlled and everything not produced by the government will be heavily taxed."

Zhu Bayi, a large state-owned enterprise, had a buzzing sound in his head and his eyes were dull:
