And the cavalry troops who were intercepting and killing everywhere returned with a full load, and the horses were covered with heads.The two commanders sat down to discuss what to do with the prisoners.There are not many prisoners of war left.Excluding the dead, seriously injured, and those who have been shot and incapacitated, there are very few who can move.The number is 3.The number is still huge.

The two armies were out of control, especially Tu Sui's Musketeers.Ammunition was scarce.Before dark, each soldier of the Qin Army had only [-] rounds of ammunition, which was the last ammunition of the Qin Army.The situation is very tricky.In desperation, the two chose the easiest way.That is to dispose of these prisoners of war in batches.Killed.

The tragedy happened that night. 10 people disappeared out of thin air.Qin Jun thought it was a punishment for them.The bloody night didn't end until dawn.

When the tragedy happened, Qin State was vigorously launching a huge war material procurement plan.

The funds raised by selling national debt far exceeded Shang Wen's imagination.The funds raised are as high as more than 73 gold.To this end, Shangwen also specially adjusted the denomination of printed bonds.A large-denomination bond with a unit of gold printed in five colors appeared.The bonds were sold to wealthy businessmen from six countries.At the same time, it also began to produce small denomination bonds printed in two se.It is not even clear why there are small denominations.

Shang Wen immediately started to investigate, only to learn that these large denominations were mainly purchased by merchants from the six countries.Their purpose is also very clear, which is land.The main direction of Qin's land expansion this time is to the north and west.They think that foreign lands are an opportunity to make a fortune, so they buy a lot.

And the emergence of small denominations.But it is a performance of great progress.People in the state of Qin bought bonds, and many of them did so out of patriotism.Land is also their actual need.However, due to the long distance, it is impossible to move at home, and Qin State began to set up factories to recruit workers on a large scale, so they naturally entered the factory.

And the exchange can no longer be carried out. First of all, the start of Qin's factories, especially the arsenal, requires a large amount of bronze, iron and other metals.After these coins were recovered, they had already started to be turned into guns.At the same time, the number of years is added, and the number of years set by Shangwen is two years.Two years have not arrived.Exchange can't be justified either.As a result, this marketable bond becomes currency and circulates.People's trust in Qin is still very high.

But soon a problem came out.That is the denomination of the bonds. The denominations issued are all very large, and the minimum is one and a half taels.One and a half taels is a big number.Therefore, people also need a smaller currency unit to meet circulation needs.

Shangwen issued it in response to this situation.The smallest unit of bonds is divided, which is mainly to satisfy the purchase of the public.And these bonds have begun to replace the original currency in a sense.Become banknotes and circulate in the economy.

Shangwen really didn't expect it.This move can turn into paper currency circulation so quickly.Naofumi also thought about issuing paper money to recover a large amount of bonds after the war.But now it seems.Bonds have already fulfilled the function of banknotes in advance.It has to be said that this is a new innovation.It is the performance of the progress of the times.

Due to the bonds, a large number of factories have started construction.The public has begun to have a strong desire to buy.However, the richness of commodities is still relatively low.It doesn't matter.There is still a war to stimulate.

Shangwen's first job now is to draw up a huge procurement plan.This plan includes. 100 million muskets.A thousand cannons.The number of artillery pieces is likely to increase.Because, judging from the current situation of use.Especially in the study of the students, what Wang Ben taught was cannonism, especially emphasizing the importance of artillery, based on this.Shang Wen added [-] floating artillery pieces in the back, just in case of unforeseen needs.

At the same time, there are also a large number of quilts, especially winter clothes.This requires the purchase of a large amount of goose feathers, duck feathers, and other winter clothing fillers.And then there's the leather.Shangwen really didn't expect it.In ancient times, down jackets have appeared.Shang Wen also wanted to invent.However, this is obviously superfluous.

Then there is a lot of food and medicine.Already horse vehicles.These numbers have to be worked out.Then, the tender production is carried out.If it is to be equipped, it is estimated that it will take a month.At the same time, new recruits must be trained.Shangwen didn't know how to fight this month.

Li Si's factory construction speed is the slowest one.Others are rebuilt from the original house.But Li Si took his time, looking for someone to look at and choose a house.The selection of personnel is extremely slow.

Li You, the eldest son of Li Si.Seeing my father act like this.Very anxious.In the past few days, Li You patrolled the market every day.got mixed messages.he asked.Wang Jian's factory has begun to take shape and was able to produce muskets yesterday.Even Zhao Gao, who was next to Wang Shang, was allowed to build a textile factory.This textile factory is entirely powered by animal power and can produce blended fabrics on a large scale.All of this was provided by the right minister of Daqin.

And his own father.But because of political differences, he refused to come and go.

Li You is so anxious.I think my father is a bit pedantic in this move.A little stubborn, no matter how much I persuaded, I just refused to speed up the construction of the factory building.

Li You was helpless.I had no choice but to do it alone without telling my father.However, technical issues require special consultation with Shangwen.So Li asked for advice from above.But Shangwen is too busy.The past few days have been busy with unordered things.However, Shang Wen made a special explanation.For technical issues, everything is transferred at a very low cost of technical patents.Meng Yi also handled it quickly.

Thus, Li's Arsenal was formally established.

243 measuring tools

On the day when Li's Arsenal was established.Shangwen immediately issued the tender.

The tender document specifies several standard weapons.

The specific requirement is that the caliber of the rifle is fixed at .[-] and .[-].The musket is reliable and easy to maintain.Parts can be used interchangeably.All kinds of bullets can be fired, and the effective distance of shooting is stipulated, with a minimum of fifty steps.

The main reason why the shooting distance is so short is that at this time, rifled guns can barely be produced, but the cost is relatively expensive.So, basically no consideration.

The musket required two models, one for infantry use.The other is a short-barreled musket used by cavalry.Wang Jian called it a carbine gun, so this gun had a fixed name before it was finalized.

According to the bidding requirements, those with high quality and low price will be given priority.The quantity is 100 million.delivery time.

The specifications of the artillery are ten times the four-inch caliber horse gun, and twelve times the five-inch caliber infantry gun.Types of shells can be produced in accordance with the above standards.

For gun mounts, there are special requirements to use iron gun mounts, especially horse guns, and iron gun mounts must be used.Infantry guns can temporarily use wood, but the overall weight must be light.details.Refer to the current equipment requirements of the Qin Army.

The invitation to tender was quickly distributed to five manufacturers.These five companies have to compete fiercely to get the final order.These orders will greatly guarantee that the weapons and equipment will be in place in the fastest time.

As for how to operate in the future, Shangwen has no time to take care of it. Shangwen still has an important job, which is to make a large number of surveying and mapping tools.This battle is all carried out in an unfamiliar area, and the map becomes extremely important.

But at present, the maps used by Qin State and even the whole of China are not standard.Not to mention latitude and longitude, there is no scale.direction indicator.etc.These are not, so to speak, these maps.It just sucks.If the army can barely use this, then it will be a disaster for the navy and air force.

If the navy wants to go out of the lake and into the ocean, the development of surveying and mapping technology has become very urgent.How to use the compass.Naofumi needs to make a special booklet to introduce it.Shangwen is planning to write a manuscript, and there are still some tools that must be made.

These tools include.Plate, theodolite, level.As for the measurement method, it needs to involve a lot of mathematical knowledge. Shang Wen thought that talents in this area would appear soon.Because of the rapid development of Qin's artillery, the particularly simple ruler uses triangular surveying and mapping technology.Calculate the distance.Such a simple calculation.Sooner or later, a large number of mathematics lovers will accumulate.These are the foundations of the development of mathematics, and there will be disciplines only if they are applied.

On the basis of the above instruments, Shangwen began to integrate telescope technology into it.But now the drawing technology has a fatal flaw especially in sea navigation.That is the clock.Some measuring instruments need time as a ruler, especially navigation.In the era of great navigation, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of navigation, many countries have successively studied the method of measuring longitude and latitude at sea to determine the position of ships.The determination of latitude and longitude, especially the method of measuring longitude, was not satisfactorily resolved until the invention of the clock in the 18th century.

But now, the problem of time is not outstanding, mainly because industrial civilization has just started.Just keep going.Sooner or later the clock will sort it out.

Flat plate is a traditional instrument for field surveying. It can simultaneously measure the plane position of ground points and the height difference between points.When measuring with a flat panel, the horizontal angle is determined by a graphic method, and the horizontal distance of a straight line can be measured directly or by sight distance.In addition, when necessary, a flat panel can be used to add supplementary station points to make up for the shortage of map root points determined by the analytical method.Because the flat panel measurement has the characteristics of graphically determining the plane position of the ground point, it is also called graphical measurement.

The tablet is further divided into a large tablet and a small tablet.

The large flat panel is the main instrument for flat panel measurement. It is composed of a flat panel, an alidade, a base, and accessories such as a frame compass, a pointing device, and a li level. The small flat panel is mainly used for fragmentary mapping. It is composed of a small plate, an inclinometer, a base, a frame compass, a plummet and an li level, and other accessories. It can be used alone, but it is usually used in conjunction with the theodolite for aiming and drawing direction lines. It can also be used alone. Need to be equipped with benchmarks, target boards, tape or steel rulers, etc.

These instruments have various uses. If they are introduced to the soldiers of the Qin Army, I am afraid that it will take a long lesson. Even if they are willing to listen, Shangwen has no time to talk about them. All these are distributed in the new form of booklets. go down.

Theodolite, an instrument for measuring horizontal and vertical angles.It is designed according to the principle of angle measurement.The main components are: telescope braking screw, telescope, telescope micro-moving screw, horizontal brake, horizontal micro-moving screw, foot screw, optical sight, objective lens focusing, eyepiece focusing, dial reading microscope focusing, vertical plate index Tube vial micro-movement screw, optical plummet, base circular level, instrument base, vertical dial, vertical dial illumination mirror, collimating tube vial, horizontal dial position change handwheel, etc.

Just from the quantity of this instrument and the production process, we can see its precision.But now these things cannot be used even if they are available, because it will take at least two years to complete a map of a large area.Now that war is at hand, this is impossible.But its significance lies in the long-term, not the present.

With an accurate map, artillery can shoot more accurately, and navigation can develop on a large scale.There will be rapid progress in the field of aviation.

Do it all.Shangwen requires a large number of printed drafts.Make some booklets.These booklets are the textbooks for the career of surveying and mapping.

Just when Shangwen was printing the textbook, an unexpected thing happened.

There were extremely serious fights at the three newly established military academies.The reason is the military competition system advocated by Shang Wen.In order to maintain vitality, competition among the services is the most effective way.But it is also the most extreme way.Because, for some battles, it is inevitable that the services will tear each other down.Or overlapping competition, resulting in waste.

The reason for the fight this time was only for the military uniform.

The Celestial Army is led by Shang Wen.Under the leadership of Shang Wen, the Tianjun inevitably felt a little arrogant. First of all, the Tianjun had its own military band.Next is having your own hair.The navy that just came out was still wearing the traditional Qin army costumes raised by its stepmother, and the army that came out was also dressed in the same way.Thus.After a few skydives, the Tianjun began to feel that they were very great, and their neat military uniforms made them feel superior in front of their companions.

The army is the big brother, so of course he was not convinced, and he took the newly established navy to beat up the Tianjun.The heavenly army is the favored son of heaven, so the number is small, and the number of land fights is not dominant at all, even though they were all from the ground troops of the Qin army in the past.Fights are unambiguous.

244 meat grinder

Just when Shangwen sent the manuscript to the printing factory.A strange invention captivates Naofumi.

meat grinder.When working, use the shearing action formed by the rotating cutting blade and the hole blade on the orifice plate to chop the raw meat, and under the action of the screw extrusion force, the raw material will be continuously discharged out of the machine.

With the meat grinder, the processing speed and quality of meat products have been greatly improved.

"What's your name?" Shang Wen asked the young man who invented the meat grinder.

"My name is Zhang Zhuan."said the young man.

"Why did you invent this?" Shang Wen pointed to the meat grinder and said.

"I'm sorry, my whole family is from South Korea. They were invited by Qin." Zhang Zhuan said.This invitation was obtained by Feng Quji with money*.Many craftsmen in Shangwen's factory came in this way. At first they wanted to steal the technology, but the production equipment that had begun to take shape was protected by technology patents, and their attitude towards craftsmen changed drastically.They soon settled down in Qin State.In particular, all kinds of machines opened their eyes.Craftsmen have a natural sense of curiosity.This sense of curiosity deeply moved them.They stayed without even thinking about it.

"My father used to be a carpenter, making bows and crossbows, but he didn't want to serve Qin, so he sold meat for a living. However, he is old and old. Especially the minced meat is very tiring. I It’s machining. That’s where the gun barrels are produced. I saw that you can use a drill to produce the barrel. So, I spent my own money and made this.” Zhang Zhuan said.

"You are a good boy, a good boy who is filial." Shang Wen praised.Filial piety is also one of the driving forces of invention.
