Currently, there are two types of standard artillery in the New Army, namely the 6-pounder gun and the 8-pounder gun.
After practice, the new army also needs a lighter 12-pounder gun to facilitate long-range fire strikes.
If a 12-pound gun is cast out of bronze, its weight will definitely exceed the standard. As a big thing weighing more than 4,000 kilograms, it can be imagined that it will be difficult to maneuver.
Currently, the French 12-pounder gun weighs less than 3,000 kilograms.
Compared with the loess officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, it was still too heavy.
Therefore, how to reduce the weight of the cannon while casting the mold has become a crucial issue.
The gunsmith from England clearly told Yuzhu that he only knew the casting technology of 32-pound cannon and did not know how to make a 64-pound heavy cannon.
Of course, Yuzhu knew in his heart that British people like to play little tricks that are reserved for others.
However, Yuzhu was not anxious at all. No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't eat hot tofu.
British bureaucrats are also very traditional in engaging in corruption.
However, in the UK, with close supervision by the opposition and an independent judicial system, the level of corruption is far from the level of corruption in the Qing Dynasty.
However, you have to do as the locals do!
As long as the British miners, steelworkers, gunsmiths and gunsmiths were all working at Dagukou, Yuzhu would be able to completely corrode them.
Hum hum, otherwise, wouldn’t being the person in charge of the Capital Office be in vain?
However, this moment is the same as that moment!
How could the dignified auxiliary king, the de facto ruler of the Qing Dynasty, spend all day eating, drinking, and gambling with the humble craftsmen?
In the Jade Party clique, if you want to ask about food, drink, fun, and how corrupt and decadent life is, you are right to turn to Sun Chengyun.
After Yuzhu returned to Beijing, he immediately found Sun Chengyun and shared his thoughts on corrupting British craftsmen.
Sun Chengyun was happy when he heard this and said with a smile: "Good brother, you really asked the right person. Among the few friends I have made, there are two who are more suitable to come forward to win over foreign craftsmen. One is
Beizi Hai'an, one is Ma Ying, the young prince of Shunqin Hou Mansion.
"Marquis Shunqin?" Yuzhu thought for a long time, but he still didn't understand. Is there such a marquis in the Qing Dynasty?
Sun Chengyun saw Yuzhu's doubts and explained with a smile: "In the second year of Shunzhi, Prince Duduo of Yu led the Eight Banners Army southward. The former Ming Dynasty commander-in-chief successfully designed a plan to capture Emperor Hongguang and offered him to Duduo.
He was awarded the post of Zhenjiang Commander-in-Chief for his merit. Later, when he attacked the Zheng Navy of the Ming Dynasty, he unfortunately died in battle and was awarded the title of first-class Shunqin Marquis by Dorgon. The contemporary Shunqin Marquis Ma Sanqi is the son of Ma Degong, but he
He had no children, so he adopted his younger brother's son as his heir. This heir is the Marquis Ma I mentioned."
Oh, that’s it, Yuzhu understood.
Yuzhu glanced at Sun Chengyun, but said nothing.
Those who are traitors or not are already a thing of the past. What should we do if we mention them?
If you really want to dig deep, Yuzhu’s ancestor Tong Yang is really not clean either!
This is just like the ancestors of the emperors and Han people. For dozens of generations, all of them have been shaven-headed Tatars.
The dirty things in the past can only be recounted in an understatement, and there is no way to delve into them!
Heroes don’t ask where they come from!
History books are written by the victors!
"Good brother, this Hai'an has a special skill of observing people's emotions. When I raised my eyebrows, he knew that the food was too salty."
"This Mr. Ma Xiaohou is an amazing monkey spirit. Not only can he sing Kun Opera well, but he also has a good drinking capacity. This guy can tell which woman I like just by looking at him."
When Yuzhu heard this, he said, "Good guy, isn't this a top receptionist?"
In the eighteenth century, what the Qing Dynasty lacked most was talent?
In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, talents who were proficient in reception were rare resources that could be encountered but not sought.
"Okay, it's just the two of them. Each of them will be given 10,000 taels of silver per month, no, official entertainment expenses. You tell them that the money is not enough, and they can just ask you to get it. But, I'm telling the ugly story up front.
, all the money has been spent, but there is no gain at all, then you have fooled me for a fool." Yuzhu made the decision on the spot, and his move was unusually generous.
However, compared with the five hundred thousand taels of silver for a set of cannon-making equipment, spending a little corrosion fee is definitely worth it as long as there are results.
It is no exaggeration to say that compared with the stinginess of the royal families of the European powers, Yuzhu's generosity is simply jaw-dropping.
There is no other way. We must quickly surpass the stage of a purely agricultural country and actively catch up with the huge wave of the first industrial revolution. No matter how much money we spend, Yuzhu is willing to do it.
As long as it's about stealing technology, Yuzhu's efficiency is very high.
On the third day after he and Sun Chengyun had discussed it, Beizi Hai'an and Ma Xiaohou Ye ran to Dagukou, Tianjin and took office.
Among them, Beizi Hai'an's errand was supervised by the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. As for Ma Xiaohou, he was supervised by the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Hehe, the title seems quite deceptive, but in fact, apart from the fact that the identity is real, he is no different from a liar who runs a handbag company.
The two of them are just commanders for the time being, and for the specific entertainment business, they still need to go to Dagukou and recruit more troops as needed.
However, what is absolutely unexpected is that these two low-class second-generation ancestors would later become super bosses who made the European royal family look down upon them.
The historical records are very clear: Ma Ying, the director of the 9th Bureau of Military Intelligence, was a degenerate man. After Taizu's careful training, he turned into a great weapon and made the European powers frightened. Alas, there is no difference in education, no matter what!
So, whatever I was born with must be useful, it just depends on where I use it.
While we were having dinner, the porter hurried over to report that the old lady was here and had already arrived at the door of the house.
Yuzhu and Xiuyun quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, wiped their mouths, and came out to greet Li Si'er.
At first, after Long Keduo loved the new and disliked the old, he doted on the thin horse Liu of Yangzhou. Yuzhu was worried that there would be a family dispute, so he arranged for Li Si'er to live in his imperial Beizi Mansion in order to retreat.
Anyway, out of sight is less troublesome, because it is far away, and there are far fewer conflicts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Who would have thought that Longkodo was actually killed by Dai Duo, the confidant of the fourth child.
This greatly facilitates Yuzhu's control of the Nine Gate Infantry.
Originally, Yuzhu had made a series of plans to secretly seize the military power of the capital with Longkodo, but unexpectedly, they were all unnecessary.
"Meet Mother." Xiuyun was very smart. After the man became the actual master of the Qing Dynasty, she became more respectful to Li Si'er.
Even the greeting salute of bannermen was changed to the squat salute of Han Chinese daughter-in-law when greeting her mother-in-law.
A truly smart woman takes one step at a time and sees ten steps ahead, and Xiuyun is like that.
Regardless of whether Yuzhu wants to wear a yellow robe or not in the future, the 100,000 new troops who have become the climate will definitely push Yuzhu upward.
The truth is obvious. When the water rises, can the boat be higher?
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and seek higher ground. This is determined by human nature and does not depend on anyone's will.
If Yuzhu ascends the throne and becomes emperor, Xiaoxuanyu, as the eldest son, will have to compete with many younger brothers for the position of prince.
Although Xiuyun is a serious Manchu banner man, she is not a woman from the Aixinjueluo family, but a woman from the Fucha family outside Guanwai.
To give a more appropriate example, the Aixinjueluo family is similar to the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, which is incomprehensible to the Xianbei people. They are both royal families.
In this sense, Xiuyun is equivalent to the origin of one of the Xianbei nobles in Guanlong.
No matter how much the emperors and Han people boasted, they said that Li Hu was a Han and Li Bing was also a Han. However, Li Shimin's grandmother, the Dugu family, was the daughter of a powerful Xianbei tribe.
Therefore, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and Tang Taizong Li Shimin must have Xianbei blood flowing in their bodies. It is just a matter of more or less.
Xiuyun secretly speculated on the man's thoughts. He didn't seem to care much about issues of ethnicity and blood.
Because, if Yuzhu really cared, how could he have stuffed Xiao Xuanyu into the new army's recruit camp.
Haha, of course Yuzhu doesn't care much about bloodline issues.
Because the inheritance rights of the Celestial Dynasty for three thousand years have always been based on the paternal bloodline.
Unless Xiuyun's surname is Aixinjueluo, then Xiaoxuanyu and Xiaoxuanjing will definitely lose their inheritance rights.
This is exactly the same logic as Li Laoer's refusal to make Yang Fei's son the prince.
Yuzhu tried his best to overthrow the Aixinjueluo family, but returned the empire to his son with Aixinjueluo blood. Not to mention the objections of others, a hundred thousand new troops composed of pure Han people
You can't pass that level.
Because, if there is another change of dynasty, there will definitely be a lot of killings.
According to the logic of the emperors and Han Dynasties, Kang Mazi, who had Han blood flowing through his veins, had actually succeeded in usurping the Qing Dynasty for them.
Isn't it ridiculous?
Li Si'er ignored Xiuyun, but took Yuzhu's hand and said, "I think it's eighty-nine."
When Yuzhu heard this, when did her own mother become so smart?
Li Si'er obviously came back to show off his prestige, but he said he missed Eighty-Nine.
It is natural that a mother wants to kiss her son, and no one can say anything about it.
Yuzhu quickly explained with a smile: "Mom, Eighty-nine is in Dagukou, participating in training."
"I just miss him." Li Si'er acted unreasonably.
When Yuzhu saw it, his mother must have been suffocating in her heart. She quickly bent down and said, "Okay, tomorrow, my son will personally take you to Dagokou to visit Eighty-Nine."
"Hmph, stop trying to fool me." Li Si'er also knew that he couldn't make trouble in front of his servants.
It was really a big deal, and it was my precious son's face that was damaged.
For the first half of Li Si'er's life, he was lucky to be with the right man.
At that time, Longko loved her dearly, he could be said to be obedient, he could be beaten or scolded, and she was very prosperous.
In the second half of his life, Li Si'er did not suffer at all, enjoying the blessing of his own son and enjoying peace of mind!
Hehe, there are rumors outside that Yuzhu is a living Cao Cao, and he will usurp the Qing Dynasty sooner or later.
After Li Si'er heard the news, he couldn't help but feel happy!
If her biological son becomes the emperor, wouldn't she become the empress dowager?
The Empress Dowager Cikang also looked down on Li Si'er, and Li Si'er was also filled with anger.
Humph, Aunt Zhuer, sooner or later you will have to kneel before my mother's seat, just wait and see!
It’s really gratifying to finally reach 1000 chapters!
Thanks to the brothers for their love and help, Xiaozhuzhu has returned to 4/5 of his peak subscriptions. Xiaozhuzha Qian wishes everyone to be in peace, and I wish the whole family peace.
Due to force majeure, the small pillars were not updated for more than ten days during the Spring Festival.
Really, Xiaozhu thought this book would be sold out from now on.
I never expected that my brothers would come back to subscribe one after another. I am so grateful!
