Be the emperor from the postman

After He Jinzhao finished dealing with government affairs, he went to the artillery factory to take a look around.

Shanxi has coal and iron, and after organizing technical personnel and casting artillery, the output is quite amazing.

He Jinzhao held a newly imitated flintlock gun in his hand, which was still being improved.

This kind of flintlock gun has been around for almost 100 years. The letters and miscellaneous items sent by Zhao Xiaowu and others include this loot.

The original was snatched by the Portuguese from the Spaniards, and eventually fell into the hands of He Jinzhao. It is still an old item.

It is said that it was originally invented by a man named Mahan in France, but 30 years ago, because King Henry IV of France was assassinated and died, the army was forced to stagnate with flintlock guns, and the Spaniards made improvements to this.

This is a flintlock pistol, very much in line with He Jinzhao's imagination of pirates like Captain Jack.

Compared with the matchlock gun, the advantage is not small.

First of all, the operation is much more convenient, and there is no need to worry about the risk of exposure after entering an ambush due to early ignition.

The most important thing is that it is not afraid of wind and rain.

Of course, in the past two years, some capable people in Ming Dynasty also produced and modified the flintlock gun, which was also the same period as the European transformation.

Of course, it was called self-generated fire gun in Ming Dynasty.

But this kind of talent is loyal to Chongzhen, and it is not something that He Jinzhao can get by reaching out. The most important thing is that Chongzhen did not promote it.

At best, it is internal and external troubles, and the treasury is empty. How can Chongzhen have the money to do this!
Instead of upgrading weapons and equipment, it is better to recruit a few more people to fight.

Anyway, human life is worthless!

Especially the soldiers in the north didn't trust the imperial court's firecrackers very much, and they would be blind if they survived a little explosion.

Of course, there is also a reason that the northern anti-Qing mostly used artillery, and they didn't like to use firecrackers very much.

In the past, even if He Jinzhao wanted to make some samples of self-generated firecrackers to imitate, he never had a chance.

It wasn't until Yang Wenyue and others went to Guangzhou to fight pirates that they came into contact with them.

Snapped.

After He Jinzhao fired, he reloaded, which was still a bit slow, but compared to the previous arquebus, it was already very good.

The brother-in-law and the others all looked at He Jinzhao eagerly. They had tried several times to ensure safety and were waiting for mass production.

He Jinzhao poured out the lead: "The filling speed of the lead is a bit slow, and the friction is a bit strong, get the lead in quickly, and try putting some lubricating oil on it."

"Is the lubricating oil that the commander-in-chief mentioned grease?" the brother-in-law asked.

"Well, almost, just let the barrel lubricate, and it's better to be able to hold your breath or something."

As a "eunuch" of firearms, He Jinzhao can only play with latches for fun, and vaguely remembers how to prevent air leaks and the like.

The brother-in-law took the flintlock pistol and poked it with his finger: "Try wrapping lead in an oilcloth and stuffing it in."

Then he called Niu Youcai to pull the commander away to avoid accidents such as gun explosions.

Compared with the mature matchlock gun technology, the flintlock gun is still a new technology, and there are still many areas for improvement. It is also excellent to be careful.

Even the current Western armies have not installed flintlock guns on a large scale.

He Jinzhao attaches great importance to the research and development department, and these craftsmen work hard.

The commander-in-chief occupied the three provinces with strong strength, and the commander-in-chief occupied Sichuan, and promoted craftsmen headed by Wang Ying to become officials.

Who wouldn't be envious of such a thing?

Although the commander-in-chief is still training officials and various talents, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are large enough, so there must be gaps in talents. Old people like them all have a chance to be promoted.

So everyone is very motivated.

When developing flintlock guns, not only pistols, but also long guns were produced.

In the future, the Hammer bandits will fight in the southeast, where the terrain is bad and the transportation of artillery is not easy. The flintlock guns that are light and not easily disturbed by wind and rain will be the first choice.

He Jinzhao listened to the sound of bang bang bang, and was looking at the target. His brother-in-law and others said that after adding lubricating oil, the reload time was faster, and the shot was also farther than before, which was a good improvement.

These are the directions that can continue to study refinement.

He Jinzhao inspired many craftsmen, and hoped that they would continue their efforts and have the opportunity to go out with the army in the future.

Many craftsmen all laughed.

After all, who doesn't like being an official!
Power is an aphrodisiac.

After He Jinzhao inspected the arsenal, he took people to the slopes to look at the new crops.

Such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., were all Zhao Xiaowu was ordered to search for and sent back.

The current output of this kind of thing is not high at all.

Breeding and the like are needed, but there are experienced farmers who serve these new things.

He Jinzhao knew nothing about this kind of thing.

Even though he had been to the fields when he was a child, he never went again because of his allergies to wheat leaves.

"Marshal, can these things really fill everyone up?"

In fact, Yang Yuxiu felt that it was a bit wasteful for his lord to send an expedition to Guangzhou.

Because the talent reserve was insufficient, Zhao Xiaowu, Yang Wenyue and others took away a group of them, and the lord always asked him to transfer talents, which really made him lose a lot of worrying hair.

At first, I thought that there were quite a lot of talents in reserve, and they were a bit redundant, but the territory of Shaanxi is really too big.

When people sprinkle it in, it is like rainwater falling into the sea, and the splashes are completely gone.

Fortunately, the lord has not drawn out Ningxia and Gansu, which is included in Shaanxi Province, otherwise Yang Yuxiu would have even more headaches.

There are many positions, but not so many people.

"I can't die of hunger."

He Jinzhao is not sure that he can feed everyone with these things.

At that time, we have to rotate the crops and let the land cultivate.

In short, as long as the water conservancy facilities should be guaranteed, organize people to fight drought and disaster relief.

These people who are good at farming will come up with their own ideas to make the crops live better.

Some of them sleep in the fields every day, and tending the crops is what they are used to doing in this life.

It didn't exist before, it was all planted by the landlord, but now it is divided [-]-[-], and half of it is regarded as my own field, and I can buy it under my own name in the future.

Not to mention that the Hammer bandits already had their own fields.

Although the land of Shanshan and Shaanxi is still suffering severe drought, under He Jinzhao's policy of recuperating, no tragedy has occurred so far.

At least let this group of people who have lived under the rule of the Ming Dynasty understand that their life now is many times better than before.

Things like eating bark, Guanyin soil, and eating each other never appeared in the land of Shanshan.

People who fled into the Qinling Mountains also occasionally traded abroad. After investigating the situation, they found that it was very different from the period when the Ming Dynasty was in power.

After all, there are hammer bandits everywhere, and bandits don't look like real bandits.

It's not at all like the old days under the Ming rule.

These people also have rebels who have failed to escape, and they have also heard of He Jinzhao, the head of the 80 rebels in Shaanxi, and the head of He Zong.

I never thought that Mr. He's career would be so big and he would become the real Northwest Hammer King.

All these things gave them a hint of the idea of ​​wanting to run out of the mountains and come to live under the hammer bandits.

After all, living in the mountains, it is too difficult to eat.

It's not easy just to eat salt and fight against the beasts, plus it's not necessarily orange melons after several years of land reclamation.

If it is not forced by the environment, no one is willing to go to the deep mountains to live.

After inspecting the flintlock guns and new crops, He Jinzhao returned home with a group of people.

He Shengming has already been enlightened, quite proudly showing off to his father that he knows how to count.

He Jinzhao praised his son a few words, telling him not to work too hard.

At this age, you should have fun and learn. In the future, you will study so much that you want to skip school, so he took his daughter to the table for dinner.

Gao Guiying and Princess Jin began to feast. I don't know how long this kind of stable life will last.

After all, the world is in chaos, and if you don't know your husband, you have to lead the army in person, and it will take a long time to go out.

"By the way, husband, do you still want to take a concubine?"

He Jinzhao, who was feeding his daughter, was taken aback for a moment, looked at Gao Guiying and said:

"Why do you want to take a concubine? I have three daughters-in-law now, which is pretty good."

"Others say that I'm jealous, not to mention that babies are prone to die young. My husband still needs to have more children to keep the family business."

Gao Guiying smiled helplessly, and brought food to He Jinzhao.

"Before a person is full, he only has one thought, but after he is full, he will have countless thoughts."

He Jinzhao thought that he was still showing mercy in Mongolia and Sichuan, but could this kind of thing be said to the outside world?

Concubine Jin felt that He Jinzhao treated her very well, unlike the previous King Jin who took so many women and didn't touch her at all.

She didn't want this to happen right away.

Although being an emperor is not very lustful, it is abnormal, but Princess Jin thinks it will be later if she can, at least wait until she gives birth to a son.

"That's the truth." Gao Guiying added some food to her son:
"In the past few months, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve my husband at night."

He Jinzhao's act of picking up vegetables was a pause.

After all, in this day and age, things like contraception are not like wearing a condom in later generations.

Moreover, with the current medical situation, it is indeed a big problem for women to give birth to children and the growth of infants and young children.

We need to train more doctors in gynecology and pediatrics.

He Jinzhao served Gao Guiying something to eat: "I've been too busy these days."

"Father, am I going to have a younger brother?"

"Who knows." He Jinzhao also served him some food: "Maybe she's also my sister."

"No matter who it is, I will follow him." He Shengming muttered.

Then Princess Jin on the side looked at He Jinzhao and her sister very sadly, how could she conceive so easily.

Looking at herself again, she obviously spends more time with her, but her stomach hasn't bulged yet.

He Jinzhao received Jin Wangfei's eyes, it seems that there will be another fierce battle tonight!
After a night.

He Jinzhao woke up from the bed and saw that Princess Jin was sleeping soundly, so he got up gently and went to the next room to wash up.

A woman with better physical fitness is easier to conceive than a woman with poor physical fitness. He Jinzhao also told Princess Jin about this. Although she is in good shape, she is weak and has not yet reached the age of strong ability.

As the saying goes, Gao Guiying's physical fitness is like hanging her.

If he were to deal with Gao Guiying between the beds, He Jinzhao would still need to use [-] percent of his strength, but he would be much less worried when dealing with Princess Jin.

"My husband got up so early?"

Gao Guiying peeled a salted duck egg for him.

"You don't know her yet. She yells loudly, but when it comes to reality, she begs for mercy even more. She is addicted to vegetables."

He Jinzhao took the salted duck egg and smiled.

After breakfast, He Jinzhao did a set of gymnastics taught by a family of genius doctors in the yard, so as not to hurt his body due to alcoholism.

For today's sake, He Jinzhao is actually very concerned about his health.

Gao Yigong reported in Gansu that he had contact with the Zhungeer Ministry, and the two parties were not very happy.

These people are not Lin Danhan's allies, but enemies.

He Jinzhao also asked Qiu Zhitao to check the news of Mongolia. Gushi Khan went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to develop, and gave up the position of leader of the Utla Alliance to his nephew Oqiertu Khan.

Eqier Tuhan sent people to form an alliance with Tian Khan He Jinchao, and at the same time secretly communicated with the Qing court Huang Taiji about the song.

Because Oqiertu Khan has considerable resistance to being assimilated by the Han people, so he chose to collude with the Manchu Huang Taiji, who is similar to the customs.

Most of them are not descendants of Genghis Khan, but belong to the Mongols in a broad sense.

Gushri Khan's lineage is from Genghis Khan's younger brother, and there is a big gap between the two sides.

Zhang Fuzhen reached an agreement with Gushi Khan, and the two sides would not invade each other, maintaining the dependence of Lin Dan Khan's former allies on He Jinzhao.

However, as Gushi Khan took a large number of people to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to develop, it indirectly weakened the strength of Oqiertu Khan.

In comparison, the Zhungeer Ministry's power has increased and it has begun to expand abroad. Even though Ozier Tuhan was on guard, he did not tear his face in public.

He Jinzhao thought for a while, and then said:

"Zunger's current strength is on the rise. Tsarist Russia, who fought against Tsarist Russia, took the initiative to recognize his khanate. Since Gushi Khan didn't want to get involved and left his nephew to deal with it, he tried to provoke a fight between them. Anyway, their fight It is also inevitable.

This kind of thing being held back by the Mongols, I can't let me fall into it alone, it also makes Huang Taiji a headache.

This person is preparing to attack the Ningjin defense line with all his strength, and he will not support Oziertu Khan at all. It is also extremely beneficial to us to sever the friendship between them. "

"Understood." Qiu Zhitao responded: "My lord, how should I reply to General Gao?"

"Seize the opportunity and fight, don't expand the dispute, don't let people underestimate us for nothing."

"Ok."

Qiu Zhitao asked the officials around him to write a reply to Gao Yigong.

Although many places in the Western Regions have become deserts due to lack of water, the trade with the Yarkand Khanate still needs to be carried out well.

Now the Yarkand Khanate is also facing each other, fighting each other.

According to the current Little Ice Age, it is too difficult for human beings to survive, social conflicts are extremely intensified, and there are rebels everywhere or want to annex neighboring countries to strengthen themselves.

Even in the borders of Europe, wars have been breaking out.

"Have all the family letters of the soldiers stationed on the frontier been delivered to the family members?"

Compared with Chongzhen's abandoned postmen, He Jinzhao still pays more attention to the communication of information.

The family letters of these soldiers also used military channels.

"Returning to my lord, when the letter arrives, it will be checked against the list, and nothing has been lost yet."

He Jinzhao nodded: "Well, it's best not to make any mistakes in this kind of news transmission."

"Yes."
