When Zhang Hongfan was sent to Hangzhou, he was in a state of ignorance. The medical staff of the Song Dynasty tried hard to keep Zhang Hongfan in such a state of survival. The Song Dynasty did not need any confession or repentance. The distant Hangzhou had already begun to make quick preparations for the execution of Zhang Hongfan.

It was a little later than Zhang Hongfan, and Zhang Jun also took a steamer boat to the south. He was arranged by his father Zhang Shijie to study in Hangzhou. Leaving his hometown made Zhang Jun feel uneasy, and what made him even more uneasy was something else. He felt that something seemed to have been destroyed forever.

When he learned that Zhang Hongfan was arrested, Qin Mohuan and Li Fangfang had just wiped out the Shi Tianze family. Qin Mohuan already knew Li Fangfang's experience. The coalition formed by the Han army, the Marquis of Shi Jun, killed Li Yan, and the general was Shi Tianze. Now the feng shui changes, and the ending of Shi Tianze's family being slaughtered by Li Fangfang seems less surprising to Qin Mohuan.

Zhang Shijie handed over the iron-core Zhang Hongfan's tribes to the military region for disposal, and he himself set out to disband the Red Turban Army. The Song Dynasty did not need an armed force with different origins.

Hebei was so quiet that the dust settled. Hangzhou, as the source of the Song Dynasty's changes, gathered a new storm center. Yang Tiexin arrived in Hangzhou at this time and joined the temporary teaching camp with senior commanders gathered from all over the country. The teaching camp organized these old soldiers to participate in live-fire target shooting.

The test shooters fired ten bullets in a row at 50 meters. After the design was completed, the senior commanders went to inspect and were confused. Each target, which was the same size as the life-sized one, had at least nine bullet holes. The carefully selected shooters showed their level, some put the shooting targets on their heads and some placed on their chests. If the target was a real person, as long as they ate a bullet, they would either die or be seriously injured.

"Tsk tsk! How effective range is the musket now?"

“20, not 15 meters.”

"It's within 15 meters. It's said that only three shots are in the battle. In fact, if you can really defeat the enemy in a row, you have to be at a distance of 10 meters. The ones before will depend on luck."

"If a battalion can fight like this at a distance of 50 meters, it would not be enough to have ten thousand enemies on the other side."

"This is still the shooter's level."

"We'll know whether it's high or not."

"Okay, go now."

These veterans who used guns immediately asked to learn how to use new weapons. To their surprise, the instructor followed the rules of training recruits completely, and the first thing was to make these people familiar with the weapons. Seeing the Type 22 rifle, it seemed that there was no difference from the previous smoothbore rifle. When they got it, these old soldiers who were proficient in muskets felt that the density of this slender weapon was different from the previous iron gun. The Type 22 rifle was a steel rifle, which was a world of difference from the previous iron rifle. There were more differences in other internal details, which made the senior commanders stunned.

After finally finishing the structure of the rifle, after taking the bullet, these people didn't know the evaluation for a while. The bullets were no longer the gray-black lead bullets of the past, but the bright-colored paper-shell conical copper bullets. There was a small piece of round cork under the copper bullets. The instructor took out the cut bullets, and it turned out that there was a copper shell on the outside and the inside was filled with lead. At this time, the senior commanders finally confirmed that the new rifle was really not a new bottle of wine, but a real brand new rifle. Such exquisite weapons made Yang Tiexin, who had been depressed, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

According to the new shooting mode, the old soldiers can quickly hit 50 shots at a distance of 50 meters. The special shooters responsible for the test shooting can hit 7 shots of ten bullets at a distance of 100 meters. The old soldiers immediately sang hymns to Zhao Guanjia enthusiastically.

Zhao Jiaren knew that these guys were quite sincere in singing praises, but he didn't particularly need such praises. Not long after the Minie rifle came out, the rifle changed from front to rear, which was a problem that Zhao Jiaren didn't understand. Now he understood a little. A cylindrical pass bar can easily push a round bullet into the bottom. This shape pass bar often damages the head of the bullet when pushing a conical bullet. Therefore, the pass bar of the new rifle is a specially customized head fork, pushed below the point of the bullet. However, the head of this pass bar is easy to be damaged and has to be used in various spares. In addition, after the Minie rifle came out, because the accuracy increased greatly, the dense array required by the smoothbore gun seemed to be wasted and not conducive to the shooter's precise shooting. As the queue became sparse, the old tactics also changed.

Another problem is that the cork that is loaded at the tail of the bullet is imported from Portugal. Although Spain's King Dinis I was very excited about being able to trade with the Song Dynasty, the Maritime Bureau of the Song Dynasty was very dissatisfied with the operation of transporting corks tens of thousands of miles. It was too wasteful! If it was a rifle after the installation, this problem could be solved.

The senior commander raised another question, "Officials, when will these equipment be sent to the troops?"

"This depends on the factory that produces the barrel." Zhao Jiaren answered. The iron gun turned into a steel gun, requiring the Song Dynasty metal processing industry to have corresponding processing capabilities. This is a very expensive investment. "Now, one thousand qualified barrels can be produced in a month."

"One thousand? Only one division's troops can be equipped in this year!" The senior commanders were excited.

"This calculation is correct. If the factory can expand, it can solve this problem."

When they learned that the problem could be solved, the crowd asked anxiously: "How to expand it?"

"There are two ways. First, let the operators and masters of the mixing furnaces perform at their level, so that the steel in each furnace can reach the same level. Second, ensure that the quality of coal mines and iron ore is as consistent as possible, adopt exactly the same equipment and technology, and try to make the quality of steel the same." Zhao Jiaren gave everyone the model of early industrial construction standards.

"It's all mines, will it be different?"

Looking at the insincere expression, Zhao Guanjia said with a difficult expression: "Do you want me to tell you about the history of the earth?"

"No need!" The senior commanders shook their heads like rattles. The official organized armed forces with the attitude of running a school more than 20 years ago, so any lecture was required. For this group of guys who do not love natural science, listening to the official lecture was like being punished.

I also immediately changed the topic, "I think the official must know the location of this mineral!"

"Well, it is said to be in Liaodong." Zhao Jiaren didn't want to make things difficult for his men. The mineral products of Anshan Iron Ore are very average and cannot be compared with those of Australia's iron ore. However, the advantage of Anshan Iron Ore is that the mining area is large and the grade is equal. As long as the smelting process is determined, the steel with stable quality can be produced relatively stable. Zhao Jiaren thought about it and felt that Anshan Iron Ore is more suitable in this era.

Although there is a lack of natural science knowledge, the senior members do not lack the ability to be basic obedient. Someone immediately expressed his loyalty, "The government wants Liaodong, so we will take Liaodong for the government!"

"What does it mean to take it down? Liaodong is my hometown of China, which is called recovery! Recover!"

"Recover Liaodong! Recover Liaodong!" senior members shouted.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaren was in such an mood at this time, he waved to the interim secretary Zhao Ruoshui, "Get the entire map of China!"

Zhao Ruoshui ran to push the blackboard with the sign, which was a 'full map of China', from the north to the Arctic Ocean, from the east to the northern part of Fusangzhou, from the south to the entire Indochina Peninsula and all large and large islands and lands in the Pacific Ocean, and from the west to the 'Persian Protectorate' in the Pamir Mountains. Targeting this map, Zhao Jiaren said: "My Song Dynasty is the main theme of China, and a lot of these lands will be recovered. The first step is Liaodong."

After the meeting, when he returned home, Zhao Ruoshui asked his father, "Dad, you seem to declare war, but not as if you are declaring war. You always feel so strange."

"Military is the continuation of politics, politics is the appearance of the economy. It is wrong to be a military force, because a military force is to ignore the economy and only care about face. I can leave a complete map of China, but until I die, I will probably not issue an order to regain Tubo. Why? Because without urgency, the economic benefits of regaining Tubo are too low. With this energy, I will directly regain Fangzhou in the south."

After hearing this, Zhao Ruoshui nodded repeatedly, "Is this what my father said about how big a pot of rice is cooked?"

Zhao Jiaren was very satisfied with his response to his daughter. He smiled and said, "It's almost the same. But the claim right was taken out early. Now I can't eat it, which does not mean that I give up. I have to leave this foreshadowing early."

"I understand! I understand!" Zhao Ruoshui nodded repeatedly.

Judging from his daughter's attitude, Zhao Jiaren said solemnly: "Auntie, we must love the country. If politics only becomes a means, it will definitely backfire itself. Because the standard of patriotism is a standard that is the same for everyone. In the face of such a standard, anyone may be judged. Even the government is the same."

Zhao Ruoshui was shocked and asked quickly: "Even father can't be extra patriotism?"

"I can take up the position of the Guan family because I tell others that I am the standard of patriotism. For the Song Dynasty, I will give out all my own land and land to promote the state of land. For the Song Dynasty, I will bear the expenditure of the imperial army and do not return it. For the Song Dynasty, I will wear a strong and hold a sharp hand in front of the formation, and for the Song Dynasty to fight and restore the old land. It is precisely because everyone admits that I am the most patriotism and have made the greatest contribution to the establishment of the Song Dynasty. That is why I can take up this supreme position. This is where my legal system is. Once this system is completed, all the officials in the Song Dynasty must be patriots in the future. This is the legal system of the Song Dynasty."

After hearing this, Zhao Ruoshui lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Dad, I understand. I originally thought patriotism was a means of progress, but now I know that patriotism is the bottom line of the royal family. I will never use this as a means again."
