Lord of Ming Dynasty

It takes thirty steam engines to put together such a steam engine spinning machine room, and the spinning machine workshop next to it is also huge, not as exquisite as the pictures that Zhang Qiang searched from Baidu in later generations, but it is really rough and durable.

Compared with the spinning jenny machine invented by Zhang Qiang of the Chinese Empire, it is even larger. It can weave coarse linen cloth one meter wide and tens of meters long on one side at a time, and it can also expand the width to weave several meters wide. It is really a great project to weave coarse linen cloth ten meters long, and even a large coarse linen canvas with a length of 50 meters and a width of more than 29 meters when necessary.

The steam engine was turned on, and as the coiled twine rollers were placed on the loom, nearly a thousand rollers could be linked together in a factory building at the same time. The skillful women of the Indian tribe who had just been summoned, as well as the Han people The slaves, sons and daughters, women, and even highly skilled old women of the prisoners who worked in the textile factory stood under the steam loom and worked with their heads bowed.

Some Han youths are also doing the same work as the women inside, but within a few hours, the cloth accumulation area on the side of the factory building has been piled up to the roof, and then shut down for maintenance. It used to be a steam engine on a navy ship. The maintenance sailors and the spinning machine technicians from the Huaxia Empire stepped forward to check and adjust. A small team of Han soldiers patrolled and took care of the tens of acres of factory buildings.

Groups of five captives wearing slave uniforms quickly loaded the cloth onto carts and transported it to the factory, and then piled up the cloth in dozens of factories covering an area of ​​tens of acres on the other side.

The official from the Chinese Empire who used to manage spinning mills bowed his head and walked beside Li Ya and Wu Kejing, and introduced in a low voice, "Our factory can accommodate five machines like this, and we have built a total of such factories now. Three, according to Mr. Wu's plan, a total of fifteen such factories will be built, and we will build five in total here, and two more are under construction, waiting for the imitation of the Chinese Empire's steam engine purchased from France to arrive.

And the steam engine on the ship that we built and modified ourselves, when these are in place, we will build five on the Avalan Peninsula, then build one in the swamp forest, Indian area, one in Great Falls, and two in Gander City , and build one in the town of Leclerc, which is now fighting.

Now the three buildings that have been built produce tens of thousands of pieces of cloth every day, but the officials think that the coarse linen may not be very competitive, and we need to select finer linen to make better linen, otherwise, these cloths can only It can be used by the slaves of our empire, or by the common people, if the army wants to use it, but it can only be used as an outer cloak, cloak, or outer smock, not as personal clothing. If you want to export, you can only make these cloths Clothes for French slaves or American slaves won't fetch a good price.

As a canvas, it can barely be used as a replacement, but it cannot be used as the canvas of the main mast, or it will be torn to pieces and not very strong. We will continue to strengthen the transformation of the craft, but it will not be feasible for a while. This needs to be improved. Many craftsmen, or highly skilled craftsmen. "

Wu Kejing couldn't help being annoyed when he saw him repeatedly saying that he wanted highly skilled craftsmen, and the abilities of these prisoners were just like that, so he waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, let's do it for now, you go down, let's do it for the time being, Take care of yourself, make all kinds of linen, don't fool us and merchants with defective products, the reputation of our new Qin Empire is more important, understand?"

The prisoner knew about the current second leader of the New Qin Empire, so he quickly responded and retreated carefully.

Li Ya shook his head and smiled without saying a word. As the leader of civil affairs, Wu Kejing had to establish some prestige.

The two walked out of the factory building, wandered around the steam engine textile factory several times, and Wu Kejing said, "That's it for the time being. Although it can't be more refined, it's okay to make it into canvas, and there are outer blouses for the people on the island. Yes, we have temporarily solved the problem of cloth availability. Looking at the products produced this time, one month is enough for more than 10 people on our island to wear for half a year. Two months is almost two clothes a year. Also made it.

You can also make a lot of sails. Although we sold a lot of sailboats and small steam engine ships, there are still steam engine experimental warships in the fleet, and there are many large sailboats. Although the sails are not as good as the British and French The sails made are good, refined and durable, but prepare more on board, enough for them to use. "

Li Ya responded as he walked, "Well, for the time being, we can get the materials purchased by the Chinese Empire every six months. The Chinese Empire now treats us as a country like the Qing Dynasty and Russia, so they want to invest in us and make us change. It has become a dumping ground for their goods, but now we have to accept it, and we have to accept it. After all, we were all members of the Chinese Empire, and it is our duty to contribute to the Chinese Empire.

The telegram that has been sent back, we have applied to the Huaxia Empire to let the Huaxia Empire send trading ships to us, and the goods they brought must be high-quality goods in the life of the Huaxia Empire, such as ceramics, tea, silk, and Huaxia coins. Scarcely scarce commodities, with these, we can be more like a Han Chinese Empire and maintain our traditional advantages. "

"Nowadays, we have a large amount of flax, hemp rope, canvas, and linen, as well as giant logs from the main island. For the time being, we can make some money by exporting commodities. With our current trade scale, we can still make some money for the time being. It can handle it, but over time it could empty out our money stocks because we always buy more than we sell, creating a trade surplus that flows downstream, which is bad for our economy.”

Wu Kejing said as he walked, "I think we will gradually reverse this situation. Isn't there still a business of charcoal? We don't have anything else here, but there is a lot of wood. We can use wood to make charcoal and sell it Europeans also like charcoal very much. The last time a Spanish sailboat transported nearly [-] tons of charcoal reserves from a warehouse we stored, we earned at least [-] Spanish gold coins and [-] silver coins. It's good to say."

The first thousand and 320 chapters and five commodities, more commodities

"Yes, I remember, we seem to have fired some exquisite ceramics, we might as well continue to work on ceramic products. There is more clay on the Avalan Peninsula. Where can we set up a ceramic workshop and burn some ceramics? Where the Europeans have made a lot of profit, next time they can sell a small amount to the French and Spaniards, and let them go back to China to try the market.”

Wu Kejing and Li Ya came out to the arsenal.

The arsenal is full of heat, and there are steam engines everywhere. The pig iron is smashed, and the steam engine is used to forge the hammer. Then it is transported by the steam engine belt to the top of the furnace, and poured into the furnace. The molten iron below the furnace passes through a short refractory stove. Then it is transported to the casting workshop with a belt. The rough blanks of various model iron blocks in the casting workshop are poured into molten iron, cooled slightly, and immediately sent to the forging workshop with a belt. The forging workshop forges each rough blank according to the drawings, and then puts them in On the belt of the steam engine, it is transferred to the precision forging workshop again.

In the precision forging workshop, all kinds of forging steam engine hammers are used for forging and fine processing. After processing, the mold blanks are sent to various workbenches to be processed by young craftsmen who have learned well among the captives, and then sent to the old Han people. Where the technician is, make it into the final product.

The finished product is placed on the large conveyor belt of the steam engine, sent to another warehouse, oiled, sorted, cooled, then wrapped in burlap, put into a wooden box that has already been manufactured, and finally sent to the slave working area. They nail the boxes and send them to a large conveyor belt on a flatbed truck to another storage warehouse.

In the storage warehouse, a large number of slaves were assigned by Han officials and overseers to send these products to various classification areas, and then stack them neatly.

Look at the forged weapons, there are broadswords, heavy swords, spears, armors, cannon gates, stirrups, spears, and heavy cannons. With the improvement of refining skills, these craftsmen have been able to forge 128 The barrel of the millimeter cannon, as well as the gun port and the gun mount, and because of many tests, such a heavy cannon has changed from a cannon composed of several large pieces of about ten tons to a few large cannons of only seven or eight tons. The giant cannon made up of two large pieces is lighter in weight, but the performance of the artillery has been improved.

The barrel continued to extend, reaching 16 times the diameter, with a longer range and greater power, and the speed changed from one shot every three minutes to one and a half shots every three minutes.During the decisive battle with the British main fleet, the New Qin Empire relied on shore artillery to drag the enemy back with difficulty, but the shore artillery did not become an important weight that ultimately determined the balance of victory, but was only one of the weights, which was an important early stage. weights.

The reason why the enemy was able to defeat the enemy was that the main fleet was hiding in the harbor, while the second and third battalions had exhausted almost everything, and the personnel had been changed five times. More than 5000 foreign soldiers and captured slaves had been sacrificed. The warships that seized the enemy's auxiliary fleet and patrol fleet were delayed for more than half a month and consumed a large number of enemy small sail warships and steam engine warships, which greatly reduced the strength of the enemy's auxiliary fleet and could not participate in the final battle.

Wu Nan seized the St. Pierre Island occupied by the enemy outside, wiped out his own fleet three times, captured the enemy's warships, and finally wiped out the enemy's auxiliary fleet, and finally took the captured warships to help the main fleet, and finally put the enemy into the hands of the enemy. The exhausted main fleet defeated, routed, and finally won the decisive battle.

After the war, almost all of the enemy's warships were seriously injured. Almost all of the warships here sank, losing 2 Chinese sailors, 3000 foreign sailors, and [-] slaves. In the end, the New Qin Empire The population has dropped from more than [-] to just over [-].

So did the cannon work?

played, but not decisively.

But the role of heavy artillery cannot be ignored, that is, it can inflict heavy damage on the enemy. If some shortcomings can be corrected, then it would be great.

One shot every 3 minutes gave the enemy [-] minutes to attack and evade. This time almost killed the new Qin Empire. Therefore, everyone from Li Ya down demanded that the heavy artillery be improved as soon as possible so that the heavy artillery could play a greater role.

That's why it was later mobilized to focus on the development of heavy artillery.

Now the weight of the heavy artillery is reduced, the barrel is extended, and the foaming time is shortened. It takes less than one shot in 2 minutes, two shots in three and a half minutes, and a little more than three shots in 5 minutes. Finally, the heavy artillery can be used.

The heavy artillery was almost completely destroyed in the last battle. It was developed this time. Since the entire Newfoundland was occupied, nearly a thousand heavy artillery pieces were needed to deploy coastal defense. Therefore, the arsenal spent most of the time manufacturing heavy artillery this time, and it has already been produced. More than 200 doors have met the requirements after sampling inspection.

About fifteen heavy artillery have been deployed on the cliff fort of Xianju Town, which can block the sea from eight nautical miles, which is three to four nautical miles longer than the previous four to five nautical miles, and block the waterways in and out of the port.

Fifteen heavy artillery were deployed on the city wall fort of Xinxianju Town, which can block the sea surface two to three nautical miles from the city wall to the port breakwater, forming a cross-overlapping fire network. The other 75mm artillery has been redeployed, and nearly sixty artillery Deployed in port water villages, cliff forts, beach forts, forts above the city wall, forts behind the fort, and forts facing the inner land of the island.

In addition, fifteen artillery pieces were deployed to St. Lawrence Port, four were deployed to adjacent ports, six were in Marin Port, ten were in Grand Bank Port, and six were in Winter Town. The central area of ​​the empire was built into a fortified area lined with forts.

Thirty guns were also stationed at St. Johns Harbor, twenty at Fort Swift Current, and ten at Fort Goubies.There are still ten deployed in the swamp town, other artillery is being transported to some important ports, and the remaining artillery is still being manufactured.

According to the news from the Huaxia Empire, the Huaxia Empire did not have such an advanced coastal artillery. They may have a larger caliber, but they did not have such a light artillery that fired so far.

The Huaxia Empire has already ordered the transport of 80 exiles and goods from more than [-] ships, but [-] such cannons are needed to be transported to the Huaxia Empire. After the Huaxia Empire conducts experiments and inspections, it will continue to order [-] such cannons.

For European countries, the New Qin Empire would not and would not dare to give such a huge military order, but for its own mother country, the Huaxia Empire, this is nothing, because they will not give it, as long as they need Huaxia The research department of the empire will come up with a plan soon, but it will be available in a year or two, so this is obviously a business that takes care of the new Qin empire.

What followed was a loan of nearly 1000 million Chinese yuan.

The Huaxia Yuan is also basically usable in Europe, at least some European merchants in China will use it, so a loan of 1000 million Huaxia Yuan can be used at least 600 million francs, 700 million pounds, 500 million Spanish gold coins, and 670 million Mexican eagles. huge financial impact.

For the New Qin Empire, which had no money, it was a timely help. This made the officials and military officers of the New Qin Empire feel more grateful and closer to the Huaxia Empire.

This can be said to be a relatively special product of the New Qin Empire and the Huaxia Empire.

The first thousand and 320 chapters six more commodities 2

As for the weapons and armor made, long spears, broadswords, shields, etc., the Spaniards like these. Before getting this loan from the Huaxia Empire, this is a relatively quick transaction. Spanish merchants or Spanish pirates are still Those who like this kind of weapons and equipment very much, as long as they bring in pig iron, copper, saltpeter, waste weapons and equipment, sulfur, and some food and daily necessities, gunpowder, etc., they can exchange them for equivalent value from here.

The first thousand and 320 chapters seven horses, good horses!

"This is a war horse imported from Central Asia. It is tall, good at long-distance sprints, and can travel thousands of miles a day. This is the kind of war horse. This is another kind of horse we brought from the Western Regions. It is a Tibetan horse. It is strong and medium-sized. Short-distance [-]-meter sprint is fine, but long-distance marching is not fast, but it is cold-resistant, has a large load capacity, and has good long-distance endurance. This is a pack horse brought from our south. It is small and not very good as a war horse. It is not good for short-distance sprints or long-distance sprints. , Long-distance marching is not good, it can only be used as a pack horse, of course, sometimes it can also be used as a war horse, but two horses need to be used together and used in rotation.

This is a Mongolian horse. It is good for long-distance marching and short-distance sprinting. It is of medium size and slightly slender. It is good as a war horse and has good cold resistance. It is good at handling desert and grassland terrain, and it is even inferior to southern horses in complex terrain.

This is a Liao horse, which is a combination of Mongolian horse and Liaodong war horse. It is good at marching, consigning goods, short-distance sprinting and long-distance running. When the enemy fights, their endurance and running speed on the battlefield, as well as skill development are not as good as Mongolian war horses.

This is a northern warhorse. It is of medium to low size. It is not resistant to the humidity and heat in the south, but it can tolerate the dryness and cold in the north. The horse and the southern horse, can only be used as a general draft horse and meat horse, but it is good for hilly areas and mountains.

There are also European war horses, British war horses, tall, slender and beautiful, they can be used as racing horses and war horses, but they are not as strong as heavy war horses, not as good as Russian war horses and Prussian war horses. We also have those two kinds of war horses. There, France War horses are suitable for heavy war horses, but they are not suitable for long-distance combat. Their endurance is not enough, and the sprint distance is longer than that of short-distance sprints. "

Li Ya was very satisfied after seeing it, and said to Wu Kejing: "Very good, raising horses in the future is also one of our income and profit growth points. We also captured about [-] Newfoundland war horses on the main island. These are used as war horses." It may not be possible in other places, but as a pack horse, it is still possible, we domesticate a large number of these pack horses, and then raise some European war horses, at least they can be sold to Russians or Turks.”

Wu Kejing was also very happy, "Yes, the French businessmen also bought some Newfoundland war horses a few days ago. They thought that maybe they could not be used as heavy war horses, but they could still be used as pack horses and light cavalry war horses for temporary battles. We can at least make money. They paid [-] francs, although they used the food and some goods from the French to pay off, but it is still a business that can be developed."
