Chapter 586

Zhao Bing heard a story in his previous life, saying that in ancient times, a woman was touched by a little hooligan and then slashed her arm down because of her hand. She was called a chaste woman and a fierce woman at that time, and set up a archway for her. Pen                  W.

『BiQuGe.

CN felt that this fact was incredible at that time, and even more, feudal ethics killed individuals and turned good people into madmen.

What Zhao Bing never expected today was that he became a victim today, and because he saved her life, he had to marry her. If he had done this kind of hero to save the beauty and live the beauty he was holding, but it was natural to be in love with each other. Instead of this kind of blind marriage and dumb marriage, forced marriage and forced marriage to himself for such a few things.

However, Zhao Bing knew that he could not blame anyone and could not resist. Even if he was an emperor, he could not break out of this confinement, otherwise he would not be tolerated by this society. It was really strange that he could only blame himself for coming later. If he had been one or two hundred years earlier, he would not have had such a thing even for decades. In the Northern Song Dynasty, women's status was quite high, and the social atmosphere was open, and they were even not far from the Tang Dynasty. If they remarried, divorced, or even married three times, they would not have talked too much.

Everything changed in the late Northern Song Dynasty. The Jin soldiers went south for the second time to surround the city of Bianjing. In order to survive, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong actually exceeded 10,000 palaces, royal families and women in the capital as collateral, and clearly marked the price to the Jin army. In the Jin army's camp, they were beaten and ravaged. The Jin soldiers retreated north, and these women moved north under the escort of the Jin army. They went through hardships on the way and died in large numbers.

After arriving at the capital of Jin Kingdom, they were sent to a laundry house for the enjoyment of the king and ministers of the Jin Kingdom. The major imperial camps of the Jin Emperor were rewarded to the generals of the Jin army, and even left the people and sold into slavery and prostitution. During the "Jingkang Defeat", the history of all concubines and royal women in the Northern Song Dynasty were captured and prostituted to the north as slaves and prostitutes was not only a shame that the Southern Song people could not say, but also a driving force to inspire the Southern Song people to resist the Jin army's southward movement.

For Taoists in the Southern Song Dynasty, this disaster also sounded a wake-up call for them: During the Southern Song Dynasty, when ethnic conflicts were extremely sharp, the frequent invasions of the Jin army would cause women to suffer the bad luck of being unable to protect their chastity at any time. How to preserve women's chastity in the face of failure on the battlefield has become a concern for Taoists. They abandoned the concept of refining survival and neglecting chastity in the Northern Song Dynasty, and advocated that women sacrifice their lives to protect their chastity. This concept was gradually accepted by scholars and officials.

However, this concept of chastity in Neo-Confucianism was not acceptable to the world at first, but was only circulated within a very small range, and was even prohibited from being spread by the court. It was not until the Ningzong period that the edict of banning Neo-Confucianism was gradually abolished, and then Zhu Xi's thoughts were increasingly valued by rulers and society. From then on, the concept of chastity advocated by Zhu Xi gradually spread.

After repeated preaching by Taoists and vigorous propaganda by rulers, people's concepts and customs gradually changed. Not only did the scholars and officials value chastity, but even ordinary people in society also had this concept of chastity, and Neo-Confucianism was widely accepted. But it was this time. From the end, the husband did not marry, and the husband was humiliated and sacrificed for chastity were widely recognized and accepted by the society. Today, Zhao Bing caught up with this.

Although Zhao Bing was angry, he was not confused yet. He knew that if he firmly opposed this marriage, he would not be able to do it, but it would be equivalent to confronting the entire society and going against the current trend. He would be abandoned by the entire scholar group and even the people. Because he had violated their moral standards and code of conduct, he could not do anything to be alone at that time, but perhaps the foolish guy could still be with him.

If Zhao Bing could predict this result at that time, he believed that he would still go back and do it, after all, he was still a "good person". But if he asked him to give up everything in front of him, he admitted that he could not do it and did not dare. Because now, once he gave up the chair under his butt and the identity of the royal family, he would be nothing, and whether he could survive in this troubled world is a problem.

If you are timid, you have to pay the price, but this price is just a wife, which Zhao Bing can bear, but he is as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. This resentment made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't spit it out, and he had to swallow it and digest it. Although it was very painful and annoying, Zhao Bing understood that this might be the price for the king. God will give you a piece of candy first, and then he will definitely give you another bitter melon to eat, anyway, it won't make you feel comfortable...

Zhao Bing also figured it out. Since the reality cannot be changed, he can only adapt. The current trend seems to be stable and the situation is very good, but he is also facing a huge crisis. Now it is the end of July, and the rainy season will gradually end in three months. At that time, the Mongols will definitely attack Qiong in large numbers. No one can be sure whether they can survive this level.

If Qiongzhou is lost, he will become a homeless man again, and even his life is in danger, who can guarantee that Li will be loyal to the Song Dynasty and insist on marrying his daughter to him? So Zhao Bing felt that he did not need to worry about future events, and it is the most important thing to do what is in front of him. He sat up and looked at the huge room. On one side was his design drawings, and on the other side were various models that were completed one by one or not completed.

Zhao Bing got up and touched the models that were soaking his hard work one by one. Most of these were weapons he "designed", but most of them were difficult to create under current conditions. For example, a cannon was designed, and this thing was not difficult for him to design. The current technology could be created after trial production, but he gave up temporarily.

Because it is necessary to make a body gun, and it is metal of good quality, otherwise it will be difficult to withstand the pressure caused by gunpowder explosion. The best material at present is copper, which has a certain strength and toughness. However, Zhao Bing cannot afford it. Qiongzhou is lacking in copper and has no mineral deposits, so it can only be traded or smuggled at high prices. If you build a few pieces and play games, it is okay to replace the current crossbow on a large scale, and it will be difficult to complete the entire journey.

Another is to cast cannons with iron, which is a trend and a condition for large-scale equipment. Because of the large amount of iron, the price is cheap, and the technical indicators can also be achieved. Although Qiongzhou has begun to establish mines and smelting, Zhao Bing is really not worthy of the quality. If you want to get available steel, you still need to reprocess it. The loss and labor costs are not something that Xingchao can afford.

Besides, the production of weapons, shells, shipbuilding, and agricultural tools currently requires a lot of steel, and the output of the iron yard is far from meeting the demand. However, Zhao Bing did not give up. While increasing the output, he was also trying to improve the process. Although he was involved in this, he was not a professional after all, and he still needed to explore and experiment before he could put into large-scale production. Fortunately, some progress has been made after experiments.

The crossbow cannons are different. The wood it uses is inexhaustible in Qiongzhou, which is densely covered with primeval forests, and the processing technology is relatively simple. It has a group of skilled craftsmen, which can meet large-scale production in various conditions. The power and range of crossbow cannons are not inferior to the current body-barrel cannons, and they even have advantages in firing, range and portability. In addition, each unit has been equipped in large quantities and has skilled gunners. Therefore, Zhao Bing temporarily gave up the idea of ​​opening the body-barrel cannon.

However, this does not mean that Zhao Bing has given up the research and installation of new weapons. In previous battles, the crossbows and rockets have played a decisive role. Now there is little room for improvement for the crossbows. All they have to do is to improve the output and quality. The rockets still have room for improvement. During the use, their unscheduled hit rate and the balance rod that takes up space and affects the long movement have been criticized.

Zhao Bing thought about this for a long time, and thought that to solve these two problems at the same time, the best way is to replace the balance rod with a tail wing or install a tail nozzle. After experiments and comprehensive considerations, he decided to install a tail nozzle, which was to change the original direct nozzle to six nozzles, and each nozzle and the center line of the rocket were deflected by a small angle. After the rocket was ignited, the gas pushed the rocket forward while pushing the rocket forward, and at the same time pushed the rocket to rotate like an ordinary rifled gun shell to ensure the stability of the rocket during flight.

In order to save costs and consider the manufacturing process, Zhao Bing used ceramic firing of the rocket charging chamber and tail nozzle, which was no problem in the Song Dynasty when the porcelain making process was extremely mature. The porcelain was resistant to high temperatures and would not be burned by gunpowder. The warhead was still made of cast iron, and it was combined together after completion. After several tests, the entire rocket was four feet and three inches long, three inches in diameter, and five kilograms of medicine in the warhead, with a maximum range of 1,200 steps.

After improvement, the stability of rocket flight has been improved, and the hit rate is still not satisfactory, but there will be no such thing as deviating from the bull's eye for hundreds of steps, especially when it is not born in the air. Zhao Bing is very satisfied with this level, because rockets are still the most suitable targets with large attack areas and less precise positioning in modern times. It uses the characteristics of large coverage areas to attack multiple aiming points. However, it cannot be used to attack targets that are too close to their own troops, nor can it be used in areas that their own troops want to occupy or pass.

After the transformation, the rocket has another disadvantage - it is not easy to carry. If it shakes a lot, or falls from a high place, the ceramic bullet body will easily break. Zhao Bing's solution is very simple. The warhead and medicine room are respectively stored in wooden boxes, and straw is laid inside. Anyway, these things are everywhere in the fields and the cost is almost zero. However, there are also benefits. If the rocket fails and fails to explode, it will fall and break down, and it is difficult to imitate it.

Because the appearance of the rocket body has changed, the original fire frame can no longer be used, so Zhao Bing redesigned the fire frame. He originally wanted to make a modern multi-tube rocket, which can be fired volleys or shot alone, but it was not very good after experiments. Because of the current direct-ignition ignition method, ignite one, and the tail flame ignites all other rockets, and it is impossible to fire volleys without wanting it.

In the end, it was impossible to transform into six tubes, divided into two upper and lower layers, one layer and three. The distance between layers was increased, and a flame blocker was installed, so that three volleys could be made. I really thought that it was necessary to fight one by one, just load one at a time. Now the new rocket has begun to be produced, and gunners have been organized to train and explore how to use them so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

In addition, Zhao Bing also increased the production of landmines. Of course, this kind of landmines is no longer the only primary product that "the enemy comes and ignites the enemy." Thanks to the successful trial production of spring steel, he used this to make a bar. Once the mechanism is touched, the bar drives the steel wheel to strike the flint fire, thereby igniting gunpowder, and explodes. In this way, the mines can be pre-placed on the road that the enemy must pass and block the road.

If the sealing is strengthened, the mines can be transformed into mines and placed in fixed waters with anchors. Once a ship collides and drags, it will touch the mechanism. However, due to the simplicity of the mechanism, it cannot be guaranteed to be automatically identified, and huge waves can also detonate it. However, Zhao Bing knew that the function of mines is more of a deterrent. A lucky ship will never touch it in his lifetime, but an unlucky guy will touch it when he goes out. But as long as he blows up one or two ships, no one dares to move, because his courage is often not as good as luck...

The development and manufacturing of so many new weapons has also produced inevitable side effects, which is to invest huge amounts of money in research and production, but it cannot produce economic benefits. Because whether it is shells or rockets, they are consumables, and it is impossible to recycle them no matter whether they are bombed or not. It is like throwing money. Zhao Bing spares no effort and spends huge amounts of money to open new weapons, which is also a helpless move.

Zhao Bing also calculated the calculations. If it was to use soldiers as a cost, the population would be limited to hundreds of thousands of people in Qiongzhou, and at most, the young and strong people could join the army. The Mongols controlled thousands of miles of land, and even after the bloody massacre, the population was still tens of millions. Compared with this aspect, he was a difference between heaven and earth, and he could not compare with human resources.

If you want to form a even-match force with the enemy and reduce the consumption of soldiers, you can only increase the cost in other aspects and increase the consumption of the enemy in order to achieve balance. Then you can only take the path of elite troops and make large investments in weapons and equipment, which has achieved the goal of improving the overall combat effectiveness of the army, and fight against ten, or even one against a hundred, so that you can win.
