DAY 151 The Bannerman Jade Ultima
Section 151 The Jade Letter of the Banner
The emperor summoned these people to come for two things. The first is treasure. The breech quick gun brought back from Zhejiang was handed over to the Ministry of Works. Under the guidance of Mr. Wenders to the capital of China, and at the same time, Wall and others who were engaged in trade with the Chinese, they disassembled them one by one. The parts inside the musket were made into iron samples as the original objects for delivery to the construction department to do it according to the picture.
After disassembly, the objects next to them, including handguards, buttstocks, triggers, retracting springs, etc., are nothing more than the barrel, and the barrel of this fast gun has already shown the original design of the line-and this technology is not mastered by the Chinese.
Lei Jingxiu pointed the barrel at the sun and scanned it carefully. He circled and circled inside. The dense rifles made him, a veteran in the Construction Department of the Works Department, couldn't help but amazed: "I don't know how such lines are formed and what role do they play?"
After listening to Ronglu's translation, Wall said a few words. Ronglu said to Lei Jingxiu: "Sir, this line is called rifling. The biggest function is to make the medicine spiral after leaving the gun chamber, and the design is more accurate."
Lei Jingxiu thought for a while, "I understand. Making the spiral of the medicine spiral is indeed a way to make the accuracy higher and the range longer. I think the cannons made by the British must have adopted the mystery of this, so that they can beat the old cannons of our Celestial Empire. Is that true?"
After hearing Ronglu say this, Wall smiled and nodded, "You are right, Chinese lord."
Lei Jingxiu burst into laughter. The United States and the barbarians were not in the Chinese officialdom. When they saw the Chinese officials they had interacted with, they called him "Chinese Lord", which made him feel a little happy. "I told you many times, and I understand. But I don't understand, how did this kind of rifle be created?"
This time, even Wall was stunned. He was just a soldier, a weapon user, and not an expert in a formal arsenal. He really knew nothing about this professional skill.
The emperor received a meeting from the Ministry of Works and the General Administration. After a while, he was almost aware of the production of rifles, but it was not detailed. Whether it could be produced was still uncertain. The most important thing is that the use of seamless steel pipes used in the manufacture of quick guns is completely incomparable to the welded steel pipes used in muskets in the Qing Dynasty. It is better to wait until the steel pipes are cast and then consider the issue of rifles.
Now, it is better to import fast guns from the United States for the time being. The left and right sides have not used local troops to equip local troops, and they are only distributed and used in the Shenji Camp and the Tianjin Green Camp where Zeng Guofan cleans up military discipline. The quantity is not used too much. "What Mr. Wenders, what do you think about what we want to buy fast guns through his business and American gun companies?"
Speaking of this matter, Bao? The great man came to his spirit, "Reply to the emperor's words, the American and the barbarians are just like British people, and their greed for profit is obvious. I heard that the court intended to do business with their own people through his business. Mr. Wenders said that he was willing to serve the Celestial Empire, hoping to hand over all such business to him. He told the slave that he promised that within half a year, all the two thousand quick guns needed by the Celestial Empire would be transported to Jiangning Wharf, and only the minimum price, such as water feet, labor, food and accommodation costs, would be paid by him."
"How much does it cost to buy such a fast gun in the United States?"
"When I replied to the emperor, I asked the soldiers who came to our dynasty with Mr. Wall, and the quick gun was sold in the United States for $130 each, which would make up about two dollars of silver from our dynasty."
"If you listen to both sides, you will be clear. You can think of asking from multiple sources instead of listening to one person's words. It can be seen that you have indeed made progress in the General Administration's yamen."
Bao? Xi turned his head over and said, "I dare not. But I think that the people of the dynasty are not as kind as the people of our dynasty. People who come and go to the dynasty have always been greedy for profit. If they rely solely on what one person says, they will easily believe the money they have paid, and spend a few taels of silver to make a small deal. They will know that the dynasty has no knowledge of people and are wise to do things, and make fun of the emperor behind their backs, and lose the face of the emperor, and the slave cannot afford it."
"I won't talk about him," the emperor said, "The merchants are the last of the four people. Even if they are greedy for profit, they still have a king and a father in their hearts, it is difficult to resist temptation. I don't believe this. The Celestial Empire can't use him to repay what he should do. How much should he be? How much should he be? Wait for you to go back and tell him that the money he should earn will be made by the Celestial Empire. If you dare to take the opportunity to cause trouble and exploit it randomly, is it the only business in my Qing Dynasty?"
"Yes. I have all the slaves recorded it." Bao Dongdong touched the head of the video, and then said, "After I went down, I will explain the emperor's holy intentions to Wendez. I think he will not do such things that are ignorant when I see my heavenly dynasty so kind."
The emperor smiled and waved his hand to let the treasure. After retreating, he summoned Sushun in again, "Sushun, how are the military affairs of Shenji Camp reclamation?"
"Reply to the emperor, the recruitment of soldiers from Shenji Camp has been completed. A total of 13,068 Manchu and Han soldiers were recruited, namely: 2,400 Gunsmen from the Eight Banners, the Mongol Guns of the Eight Banners; 800 Guns of the Han Army; 400 Guns of the Han Army; 1,200 Guns of the Han Army; 1,400 Guns of the Han Army guards of the Eight Banners; 1,400 Acrobatic soldiers selected from each banner; 200 Guns of the Sword and Spears of the Sword and Skills of the Sword and Spears of the Sword and Seven hundred Jumps of the Three Banners of the Interior..., "Su Shun was really good at memorizing. Such complex personnel reported to him one by one as a treasure, and it was not bad at all.
The emperor counted silently in his heart and asked when he heard this: "There are only more than 7,000 people, where are the others?"
"Yes, the other 6,000 people were recruited from Zhili Province and various provinces in the world, or registered in Beijing by themselves. After searching carefully, the slaves confirmed that the person who came was healthy and good-natured, they would be registered and recorded."
"Whether Manchus or Han people are practicing in a military camp, there is no longer any difference between Manchus and Han people. In the future, these people will be fraternal and fraternal when they go to the battlefield. The first step is to make them have the concept of colleagues and be calm and upright. This matter must be preached to these people. If someone in the military camp has any quarrels due to the differences in the region and ethnicity, I will hold you accountable."
"Yes, I understand."
"You get up."
Su Shun met and stood up, and looked at the emperor's listless look, and his expression was also very depressed. He couldn't help but say, "Master, you are responsible for the heavy burden of the world. Even if you are working hard in state affairs, you must also work hard."
The emperor suddenly looked up, "Why did you think of such a sentence?"
"I dare not. I just see that my master's face is unhappy, and I feel so distressed for my master."
Su Shun's words were sincere and affectionate. The emperor was very moved, but his temperament was like this. He obviously valued him very much, but on the surface he pretended to be very indifferent, "I feel sorry for my master, so I will do your job well and let me worry less."
"Yes, the slave will do his best to share the worries of the master."
The emperor nodded without comment and asked as if he was gossiping, "What are Duanhua doing now?"
"The slave brother, the emperor, was kind to the emperor, and returned home. He was grateful to the emperor's holy virtue, and regretted the past even more. Now he studied in the mansion every day and even rarely even went out of the gate."
"I dealt with him last year, firstly because of his inability to educate his children, which led to such a great disaster for the false family; secondly, if I cause such a great disaster, even if I destroy his entire family, he will blame him for it. I will lock him in the clan's mansion and let him think about it carefully, and he will learn from his lessons in the future and no longer be absurd."
"What the emperor taught is that the slave dare not deceive the emperor. The slave once went to the clan's mansion to see King Zheng. He was very worried about the slave, which was caused by his inability to teach his children. The emperor locked him up into a high wall, which was caused by his lack of virtue and lack of nature."
"I remember Duanhua only has such a son?"
"Yes. Duanhua only has one son, so he will inevitably be extra spoiled. After years of decline, he will become even more lawless."
"What about you? How many descendants do you have?"
Su Shun was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words, but pretended not to understand and replied: "Reply to the emperor's words, I have two little dogs."
“How old are they?”
"One is five years old, the other is three years old."
"I think it must be Yiyike, a cute and silly person?"
Su Shun nodded and smiled, "I asked in the heavenly words of the emperor, the two little dogs of the slave are so useless."
"Why is it really useful to say that a child who is just three or five years old is just embarrassed?" The emperor thought for a while and said, "You and Duanhua are brothers of blood. He has no children. Once he dies in the future, he will not even have a person to die. So, I will make the decision for you and adopt your old 2 to Duanhua. What do you think?"
Sushun was shocked, and then he was overjoyed and knelt down and met: "The emperor is so kind to the slave, how can he repay him? The slave's brother will thank the emperor for his family's family."
"Another day, well, tomorrow, I will issue an edict to get rid of this matter. Don't delay it for too long, and it's better to give him a surprise before Duanhua's birthday." After talking to Sushun for a while, the emperor's mood improved a lot, and he said with a smile: "Also, go and tell Duanhua that the child has arrived in his mansion and ask him to find someone to train carefully since childhood, and then have to do something like that. He is not the only one who is embarrassed about such a thing. Do you know?"
Sushun understood that the child was adopted by the emperor. If there was a mistake in the future because of poor discipline, everyone would say: "Is the child chosen by the emperor not necessarily so smart? Isn't it possible that if you don't believe the bastard son who was adopted by King Zheng?" If such a voice came out, it would be a huge disaster.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly answered: "I understand. This child is not only a slave, but also a brother, but also a face of the emperor. The slave and the King of Zheng must be carefully educated, and instilled with the way of a saint from a young age, asking him to follow the rules and never dare to be careless again."
"Well, I always believe in you in this." The emperor slowly walked around the room for a few steps, and said, "It's almost the ten-year period for the Yuzi Certificate. I think, this time I will pick you up as the vice president of the Yuzi Certificate. I will make it clear with Lao Wu. Don't make such a big mess like Huangkao did in the past. If you don't make such a big mess, it will spread it. It won't make people laugh at the Tian family's clan, some people don't cultivate virtue."
The emperor was talking about a ridiculous thing in the 25th year of Daoguang, when Zai Quan was the protagonist -.
In the Qing Dynasty, the jade certificate was repaired every ten years, which was very evil. Every time the jade certificate was repaired, there was never a smooth journey. There was always a dispute that caused a sensation in the four or nine cities. I don’t know where the woman came out of the fight. She cried and brought a child, big or small, to the sect’s house to complain about which clan member or which Jueluo was born outside. She asked the master and nine out of ten refused to admit it. This made it even more trouble.
That was the case back then. The chief president of the Yudian Pavilion was Mu Zhanga. He was afraid that such a thing would happen in advance. He specifically told the Zong Ling, Zong Zheng, Bi Tieshi and others of the Zong Ren Mansion, and then went to the Zong Ren Mansion to cause trouble. No matter the reason, they would be handed over to the Nine Gate Admiral Office for inquiries. If they had to understand clearly, they would then pass it to the Zong Ren Mansion. Then they would decide whether to ask the two people to come to the Mansion to ask questions.
Mu Zhanga had a good calculation and did not want to misunderstand one thing, so he forgot one thing. The staff used by the clan people's government ranged from the clan order, from the right and left to the pen style, either the clan or the Jueluo or the Manchus. The only exception is the prefecture chief, which is customized by the Ministry of Personnel. This is a "Han Queu".
The Minister of the Prefecture is a job that connects the past and the future and is in charge of common affairs. It can be said that the list, promotion and transcription under the jurisdiction of the Zongren Mansion is the most important job.
When the period for the jade pendant was reached, there was a palace chief with a surname named Zhou and a juren. I wonder if he had not received the instructions from the president or had deliberately made trouble. Zhou Zongcheng actually led a woman who was crying so sadly and entered the lobby of the clan mansion with a baby in his arms.
Mu Zhanga was shocked and angry, and he was intent. It was too late. He could only comfort him a few words and ask for his purpose. The woman said that she was Zaiquan's outer room, a Han man, with the surname Bu, and the baby in his arms was Zaiquan's blood. He came to the hall today just to ask the adults to be fair and take the opportunity of cultivating the jade certificate so that the child can recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown.
Mu Zhanga originally wanted to make a few perfunctory words and send the woman out, but unexpectedly, this woman was very smart. Seeing that he was impatient, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said in public: "If the adults refuse to preside over justice for the little girl, I will die of poison on the spot."
Everyone didn't know whether she was true or not, so they hurriedly stopped her. At the same time, Mu Zhang'a ordered to send someone to pass on Zai Quan, who was still a third-class auxiliary general, to the hall.
Zai Quan arrived at the Zongren Mansion without saying anything. Mu Zhanga just saw his face changing face when he looked at the woman's eyes and his face changed. After asking, Zai Quan still refused to admit it. He only said that the woman's crazy woman went to the Zongren Mansion to pretend to be a relative and asked the president to punish him according to the rules.
Mu Zhanga thought about it and already knew about it: Zai Quan's original wife's cousin was the cousin of Emperor Daoguang's successor Tong Jia's family.
Because of this kind of relationship, Zai Quan is afraid of his wife like a tiger. How dare he admit that he set up a golden house outside to save his beautiful concubine?
The two people who were originally as loving as honey were quarreling in the lobby of the clan mansion. The man shouted, the woman cried, and the sound of the baby in the woman's arms made Mu Zhang's head bigger. However, Zai Quan refused to admit it, and let Mu Zhang'a and others persuade him was completely useless. In the end, there was no way, so he had to report the matter to Emperor Chen.
Emperor Daoguang also knew that in the royal family, there was always such a thing as a person showing off his ugly appearance, and it was generally true - it was a false guilt, and not everyone dared to take such a risk.
Seeing that the city was full of storms, the people all took a joke. Zai Quan, the initiator, was so scared that his family didn't dare to return. The emperor had to find Mu Zhanga and asked him to record the woman and the child's name into the jade letter one by one, and finally comforted the matter. As for whether Zai Quan had to face the concubine's jealousy after returning home, it was not something the emperor could do.
