Captain Gobbiato could only agree to Chen Hao's conditions. He had always been interested in artillery and had been trying to improve light artillery. During the period of his capture, if the Qing master in front of him was willing to provide conditions, Captain Gobbiato would just do what he liked.
If the cannon can be improved, Captain Gobbiato can leave with money.
It is impossible for Captain Gobbiato to build a real mortar without an arsenal, but Chen Hao can provide him with some light artillery and let Captain Gobbiato transform it according to his idea. Wait until Captain Gobbiato has it
After Chen Hao designed the blueprint and felt that a mortar could be made based on the properties of the blueprint, he would immediately set up an arsenal to produce mortars under the command of Captain Gobbiato.
The machine promised by Zeng Qi can only produce bullets and repair firearms. To produce mortars, Chen Hao needs to find more equipment. Only the Jilin Machinery Bureau in the three northeastern provinces can build cannons. After getting the arsenal blueprints, Chen Hao still needs to find more equipment.
I tried to find a way to go to the Jilin Machinery Bureau to get some machines from Qiufeng, and Captain Gobbiato modified them to produce mortars.
After the Russian prisoners of war surrendered, Chen Hao assigned a Russian military instructor to each battalion except Captain Gobiato. In the artillery battalion that he valued most, eight Russian prisoners of war were responsible for teaching missile mapping. The players under him except Zhu Ke
In addition, two other players have turned shooting into ballistic mapping, and are preparing to develop in the shooting direction in the future.
After completing the preparation of the troops, Chen Hao ordered Wu Peifu to lead the troops to Gaiping. He himself was going to Northern Hebei to see if he could fish in troubled waters. In addition to Feng Yong and other eleven guards, Chen Hao also brought Tang Qunying, Ouyang Yu,
Du Lisan, and six other horse bandits with high lurking attributes.
After the victory at Dongchang Fort, Chang Qi Babai hurriedly reported his merits to the court. When he learned that Chen Baxian had won another battle in southern Liaoning, Empress Dowager Cixi really had the idea of letting him go to northern Hebei to fight against the enemy. In August, the war in northern Hebei became more and more intense.
Adding to the corruption, the Qing army was retreating steadily, and Cixi was really panicked.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zaiyi, who had always advocated relying on the Boxer Rebellion to deal with foreigners, also advocated letting Chen Baxian enter Northern Hebei first, and even took the initiative to ask Cixi to appoint Chen Baxian as the governor of Zhili. Zaiyi was like a gambler, and he always encouraged Cixi to declare war on the foreign powers.
, if the capital falls and he is the main battler, he will not end well.
Chen Baxian has won two major victories in a row. It seems that he really has a few tricks up his sleeve. If he is allowed to lead his troops to support the pass, he might really be able to change the situation in the northern Hebei war. To say the least, it doesn't matter even if Chen Baxian has a false reputation. His subordinates
Thousands of soldiers entering the customs can always strengthen the defense of the capital, right?
The last time the Empress Dowager Cixi said that Chen Hao was promoted to the governor of Zhili, it was just a joke. This time Chen Hao won the battle again and the situation in northern Hebei was tense. She really had the idea of appointing him as the governor of Zhili. After listening to Zaiyi's suggestion
She glanced at the ministers and said, "What do you dear ladies think?"
Sun Jianai came out again and said: "Queen Mother, I think it is inappropriate."
Empress Dowager Cixi said with a cold face: "What's wrong? The Ai family has long known that Chen Baxian can fight, and they appointed him as the admiral of Zhili last time. Sun Qing's family was quite disdainful of him. Now Chen Baxian led his troops south and fought again in Fengtian
After fighting and winning the battle, could it be that the Sun Qing family still thinks that he is not capable enough?"
Sun Jianai said in a deep voice: "I did suspect that Chen Baxian was not capable before, but after two wars, I am convinced of his fighting ability. But has the Queen Mother ever thought about the fact that Tsarist Russia invaded our three eastern provinces in several ways, with more than 100,000 soldiers on the southern route?
The army. Although Jinchang and Chen Baxian claimed a great victory, Tsarist Russia still had nearly 100,000 troops on the southern route. It would be a great credit to Chen Baxian and Jinchang to stop the Tsarist Russian army from occupying Fengtian. If the Queen Mother had ordered Chen Baxian to lead troops into the pass
, once Liaonan is defeated and Tsarist Russia's 100,000-strong army marches into the pass, the situation in northern Hebei will be even more dangerous. I hope the Queen Mother will think twice."
The Empress Dowager Cixi remained silent, picked up Ci Qi's memorial and read it over. She was too happy to see the battle report just now and had not had time to read Ci Qi's memorial. The statement in Ci Qi's memorial coincided with that of Sun Jianai, which also means that southern Liaoning is now
The war was tense, and a slight mistake could lead to defeat. Fortunately, Chen Baxian and Jinchang strategized the war in Northeast China without spoiling it."
After reading the memorial from Zeng Qi, the Empress Dowager Cixi sighed and said: "If there were more ministers like Chen Baxian and Jinchang, the Ai family would feel relieved about the Qing Dynasty. Xiao Lizi, if there is a memorial to Chen Baxian and Jinchang, please give it to
Let’s take a look at Aijia.”
Li Lianying quickly pulled out two discounts and handed them to Cixi. Chen Hao persuaded Jinchang to share the profit credit with Zongqi, but after a big victory, it was necessary to increase the discounts to increase impression points. Jinchang's discounts mainly wanted to expand the army, but also wanted to expand the army.
Six more battalions were added to defeat Tsarist Russia's Southern Route Army in one fell swoop to reinforce Jilin. Chen Hao's excerpt was related to the Jilin Manufacturing Bureau. In the excerpt, he lamented that he lacked ammunition, saying that if there was sufficient ammunition supply, he would surely be able to achieve greater results.
We hope to get more support from Jilin Machinery Bureau.
Jilin Machinery Bureau was founded in 1881. When completed, it covered an area of 290,000 square meters, including a construction area of 15,300 square meters. It has 275 machines and equipment of various types, most of which were purchased from Germany and some from the United States and the United Kingdom. Only
The start-up cost of the mechanical processing part is 250,000 taels of silver, and the overall annual funding is about 100,000 taels.
Jilin Machinery Bureau has a main machine factory, an east factory, a west factory, a steel rolling department, a sand foundry, a wrought iron factory, a wood factory, a sawmill, a fire-drawing factory, an electrical factory, a drawing room, and a gunpowder bureau. The main products of the Machinery Bureau are
There are firearms, bullets, cannons, gunpowder, etc. Later, a mint was attached to produce silver coins and copper coins.
Jilin Machinery Bureau produces a wide variety of ammunition, including Hachikis bullets, Mauser bullets, and can also produce 2-pound, 4-pound, 6-pound, and 12-pound Krupp explosive bullets. At the same time, the Machinery Bureau also produces 10-pound
, 20-pound, 30-pound mines, mines, and sub-cannons.
Jilin Machinery Bureau has a complete gun-making system, producing Hudun guns, Yangzhi guns, rifles, Mauser guns, 2-pound Krupp guns, Xilin guns, etc. Such a complete arsenal was historically completely destroyed during the invasion of Tsarist Russia
, due to the great changes in the Northeast plot in the game, the Jilin Machinery Bureau is still there. Chen Hao was very coveted after hearing the news.
Even if the Jilin Machinery Bureau is not occupied by Lao Maozi, it is impossible for Chen Hao to take possession of such a large official factory before the fall of the Qing Dynasty. What he cares about are the technicians and workers in the Jilin Machinery Bureau. There are members of the Machinery Bureau
, 50 officials such as sextons and scribes, and 398 workers. Among the workers, there are 93 craftsmen and craftsmen, 158 apprentices, and the rest are ordinary laborers.
Among the 93 craftsmen and craftsmen, there are more than 50 who can master arms manufacturing technology or machining technology. What Chen Hao cares about most are these 50 NPCs who have mastered arms manufacturing technology. He needs at least two such technicians to build a small arsenal.
If you don't try your luck and do special tasks to conquer such talents, you can only take the idea of Jilin Machinery Bureau.
Chen Hao's goal is to have more than five technicians who are proficient in mechanical processing and arms manufacturing. These technicians have two special skills and can cultivate more military talents. In addition, Chen Hao also wants to obtain machinery for manufacturing cannons and artillery shells.
, if you get the machinery and have technicians who are skilled in manufacturing the Krupp 2-pounder gun, and Captain Gobbiato invents the mortar, you can let him command the modification and produce a real mortar.
Chen Hao is now well-known in the game. It is very promising to find a few technicians from the Jilin Machinery Bureau, but making cannons and shells is the foundation of the Machinery Bureau, and it is difficult to get them. After the battle of Dongchang Fort, Chen Hao
Hao began to figure out that because he believed in the constitutional monarchy, he was not prepared to continue to be promoted and make money in the Qing court, so he wanted to use this military exploit to achieve his goal through Cixi.
After reading Chen Hao's memorial, Cixi sneered and said: "Fengtian and Heilongjiang won the battle without the Machinery Bureau providing guns and ammunition. Jilin had the Machinery Bureau providing a large amount of arms, but Changshun was defeated by the Russians. Xiao Lizi, for
The Ai family proposed that the Jilin Machinery Bureau be responsible for allocating the firearms and ammunition to Chen Baxian's command without any shirk."
Li Lianying said with a smile on her face: "Thanks to the Queen Mother's kindness, Chen Baxian will have plenty of bullets. But after a few days, the news has passed, I'm afraid that Chen Baxian wants bullets and the Jilin Machinery Bureau will shirk the blame again. As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach a man to fish.
, why doesn’t the Queen Mother order the Jilin Machinery Bureau to split some of its machinery and manpower and hand them over to Chen Baxian, and let him establish a smaller Machinery Bureau on his own to maintain the needs?”
After Chen Hao and Jinchang submitted the memorial, they immediately sent Bai Huhu to the capital, found Li Lianying and gave him 10,000 yuan. Chen Hao's request was only for a few people and a few machines, plus he was in the limelight during this period.
, Li Lianying agreed to help. After hearing that Cixi asked the Jilin Machinery Bureau to allocate Chen Hao's firearms and ammunition, Li Lianying directly proposed to split the Machinery Bureau.
The Empress Dowager Cixi was not so easy to fool. She pondered for a moment and said: "Establishing a machine bureau is not a trivial matter. Chen Ba's establishment of a machine bureau in a short period of time will not provide him with the bullets he needs. Now that the war is urgent, there is no need to add more details. But Xiao Lizi, you
What you say makes sense. Those minions below are likely to embarrass Chen Baxian, so be it! I will appoint Chen Baxian to concurrently serve as the assistant office of Jilin Machinery Bureau, so that no one will dare to embarrass him."
Chen Hao held an official position in Fengtian, but he also served as the assistant director of the Jilin Machinery Bureau, which is evident from the favor of the Empress Dowager Cixi. His ten thousand yuan was not spent in vain. Although Cixi did not agree to Li Lianying's suggestion of splitting up the Machinery Bureau, after becoming the assistant director of the Machinery Bureau, he could
If you catch a lot of munitions, you can easily make back ten thousand oceans.
The Empress Dowager Cixi quickly issued the decree. Chen Hao, who had completed the preparations in Yingkou and was preparing to enter the capital, suddenly said to the eunuch who passed the decree after hearing Cixi's decree: "Eunuch Zheng, I heard that the war in northern Hebei is not going well. The capital is related to the safety of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."
, The official is very anxious, can you trouble your father-in-law to bring a memorial to the official and give it to the Queen Mother?" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
