The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 305
Qu Pianxian is a person who watches the excitement and is not afraid of big troubles. Seeing that everyone is anxious, he prescribes prescriptions indiscriminately.

Although these words of hers are suspected of changing concepts secretly and bewitching and instigating, they are not without reason.

In this context, the so-called talk about marriage refers to the marriage between a man and a woman, which refers specifically to the behavior of a man marrying his wife.This kind of behavior is called marriage on the man's side and marriage on the woman's side.This is an official marriage.A married woman is a wife.

There is a big difference between marrying a wife and taking a concubine.

Marrying a wife is an act between two families, while taking a concubine is just a personal act of the husband, and has nothing to do with the family.

A wife cannot be reduced to a concubine, if it is too late, she can divorce.However, the concubine can indeed be righted, and there is room for improvement.

Just like the emperor, he can die or be overthrown.However, he can no longer be a courtier.However, former courtiers can be emperors.

The courtiers can empty the emperor, and they can rebel and destroy the emperor.Why can't the concubine take away the main wife, why can't she rebel and get rid of the main wife?

This is the logic of Qu Pianxian's behavior.

The so-called concern leads to chaos, even Baochai, who is usually calm, can't figure it out at this time, and the others are even more so.

On the contrary, Qu Pianxian, an outsider, can see things more openly when he encounters such a thing.

Seeing that a few people were still puzzled, I continued to enlighten them.

"Whether it's a wife or a concubine, it's just a name. If you don't talk about it, let's talk about the wintersweet flower that we all know. people, the division is so clear."

"Lameihua always likes as many men as possible. No one on the grassland laughs at her because of this. On the contrary, everyone envies her. If it is seen by us Han people, it means that one person can be as good as one's husband." of?"

"So, you don't have to care about wives and concubines at all. We Chinese people, the reason why we care about these, after all, is it because it will be cheaper to be the main wife? At home, she has the final say , if there is any family business, her children will inherit it first. After all, isn't it a word of money?"

On this point, Qu Pianxian really talked about the essence.

"Speaking of money, which one of you is short of money? Based on your abilities, even if you don't have any money, you can earn it now. As long as you have money, even the wife will want to curry favor with you?"

"Again, I know a little about the affairs of your mansion. For example, Chief Min, he is a concubine, and the second master Bao in your family is considered a concubine, but how is it now? Not yet Chief Min What is the final say in the mansion?"

"Aren't you all following Chief Min for thousands of miles? Why haven't you been following that son-in-law, Second Master Bao, at home? Isn't it because Chief Min is capable?"

The words of a branch of flower sound logical.Makes sense and has evidence.Even if it is evidence, there are positives and negatives.There are wintersweet flowers far away, Baoyu in his own mansion and Jia Min beside him are near.

Sometimes everyone thought she was talking nonsense, and sometimes they thought what she said was very reasonable, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.

However, asking her to say this made her feel a lot more relaxed, and she suddenly felt that this didn't seem to be a big deal anymore.

"Sister Qu's words made me feel much happier. Besides, Fourth Brother Min is in charge of us. It's useless for us to just worry."

After Baochai said this, they didn't bother with the matter deliberately, and felt that Jia Min would make arrangements for them in due time.

In the evening, give the imperial envoy a cleansing.Before drinking, Jia Min came to see a few people. Seeing that they didn't seem to have any anxiety, he was secretly surprised.I wonder if a few people are a little heartless.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, and the atmosphere in the barracks is very relaxed.Soldiers are queuing up to receive mooncakes.

There are also several carriages loading mooncakes at the food and payment office of Bukui Yamen in front of the barracks.These mooncakes are distributed to the exiles of Zhuangzi.

During the day, most of Zhuangzi's mooncakes have been delivered, and these carts belong to Zhuangzi who is relatively close.After these trucks are delivered, all the mooncakes for this year will be distributed.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, moon cakes were not given out.This year, because of the food reform for migrants, five mooncakes were distributed to each migrant.At the same time, it is necessary to improve the food for three days during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The reception banquet for the imperial envoy began at four o'clock in the afternoon.It lasted two hours before dissipating.

On the way back to the post house, Jiang Mingqian saw the "Mid-Autumn Festival Food Improvement Recipe" posted on the bulletin board in front of the yamen.

At first glance, it turned out that the food was improved for three consecutive days.Look at the dish again, there are meat and fish.

He has been in charge of exile affairs for so many years, and he has never heard of improving food for exiles during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he didn't believe it.

Jia Min, although you have improved the food for exiles, you still can't reach this level.I'm afraid it's just to see me coming and make these things to fool me.

Let me go down tomorrow to make an open and unannounced visit, and then I will see through your tricks, how will you explain to me?
At this time, Jia Min was in the firearms factory west of Bukui.

Dai Zhi, Jiao Li, Liu Cheng, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan, Jia Lian, Chen Yeqing, Feng Zijing, Zhao Dahai and other senior officers surrounded him.

In front of Jia Min was a strange firearm, which was the chain gun that Dai Zhi trial-produced.It is similar to the machine gun in Jia Min's previous life.

Of course, compared with the machine gun in his previous life, this serial gun is still far behind in terms of performance, efficiency, and reliability, but in this era, it is enough to shock the world.

"A serial blunderbuss weighs 28 catties, plus five medicine bags, one medicine bag is two catties, five bullet bags, one pack of 28 projectiles, each bag is two catties. In this way, the medicine bags and bullets for a round of shooting, Add up to twenty catties."

One serial gun, five ammunition bags, and five projectile bags are a base number.

"If you want to shoot again, you have to put the serial barrel in water to cool down before you can shoot."

At this time, it is still impossible to make bullets that combine gunpowder and projectiles, so the gunpowder and projectiles are still separated.

The five bullet bags add up to 140 bullets, plus gunpowder and serial guns, a total of about [-] catties.This weight is a bit heavy for a single soldier.Fortunately, it can be separated and carried by two people.

Due to the backward material processing technology, the components of the serial guns can only be thicker.Even so, after every five shots, the gun barrel is heated and deformed, which is likely to cause jamming. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for the barrel to cool down before firing again.

"Come on, you all take turns to experiment. Each of you takes a medicine bag."

Starting with Feng Ziying, five people came out, and each of them made a medicine bag and a bullet bag.

Every time one is hit, the wooden boards thirty feet away in front are replaced.

After finishing the five medicine packs, everyone came to the wooden board.Start seeing results.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked except Jia Min, Dai Zhi, Jiao Li and Liu Cheng.

The wooden board half an inch behind has been penetrated by bullets, and it is densely packed with bullet holes.

"If this is a confrontation between the two armies, why not sweep a large area?"

Jia Lian couldn't hide his surprise.

"It's right to scan a large area. This serial gun is aimed at hitting collective targets."

Dai Zhi said, showing a proud look.

When looking at the board Zhao Dahai shot, it was different from others.There is only one relatively large bullet hole on the four-foot-square wooden board.

"What's the matter with me, is it different from others?"

"Powder and bullet are the same. When you shot just now, the muzzle didn't swing sideways, so the bullet went through this eye."

Thirty feet is equivalent to ninety to 100 meters away. If it exceeds this distance, the effect of shooting will be greatly reduced.

This distance is okay for infantry, but if it is for cavalry, at the cavalry's assault speed, this range is too short.

Therefore, in order to make the serial gun a sharp weapon against cavalry, it is necessary to explore new tactics.Or increase the number of serial guns, which is enough to resist the cavalry's group charge, or it can also be used by the cavalry, with speed versus speed, or advance or retreat.

Another weakness of the serial gun is that after every fifth shot, the barrel has to be cooled with water.

It is very inconvenient to carry water on the battlefield.Therefore, this problem still needs to be solved.

"Mr. Dai, can you see if you can separate the gun barrel from the gun barrel, the second half of the gun barrel remains the same, and the gun barrel is movable and can be disassembled. After five gun packs, replace it with a gun barrel , so that the cycle. In this way, there is no need for water to cool."

"At that time, prepare a few more gun barrels, so we can fire continuously?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of this trick? After all, it's Chief Min's opinion."

"Actually, you can also prepare some thinner gun barrels, as long as they can fire five charges. After shooting, you can throw away this gun barrel. This is called a disposable gun barrel. Try it a bit."

After discussing for a while, everyone came to the finished product warehouse.

On the ground and on the shelves, there are rows of firearms.

The big ones are mainly horse-backed Flang machine guns, then long guns, and finally short guns.There are also twenty vehicle-mounted Franc machine guns.

This is the weapon prepared for the Fubingtuan.

Each soldier has a long gun and a short gun.Plus their previous bow and arrow, a quick crossbow, a saber, and a dagger.

The heavy weapons are the vehicle-mounted Flang machine and the horse-backed Flang machine.

The original three battalions of the Laofu Corps and the newly reorganized four battalions made a total of twelve companies.Each company has six horse-carrying Frang machines and three door-carrying Frang machines.

As for the serial blunderbuss, the military leaders are also looking forward to it, but Dai Zhi has only made three samples so far, and it is not yet possible to equip them on a large scale.

However, just the long blunderbuss, short blunderbuss and Frangji have completely changed their view of the army.

The next house is filled with gunpowder, projectiles and mines, which fill up three houses.

"Trainer Chen, the weapons and ammunition will be distributed tomorrow, and the secret synthesis training will start. Within three days, master the basic tactics. After three days, prepare to go to war."

Previously, the soldiers had already conducted training on the operation of long and short blunderbusses and Francophones, and what they needed to do now was collective synthetic tactical training.

Hearing what Jia Min said, all the military leaders cheered up.They knew that in a few days, they would have a decisive battle with the [-] cavalry in the South Wendura Grassland.

Previously, although they had repeatedly harassed and harassed the grassland tribes, neither the four tribes nor Bu Kui believed that the Fubingtuan would be their opponents.

Despite these weapons now, military leaders are still a little worried.

The difference in troop strength is too great. Is it really possible to win?
