Chapter 214 Rapid Development
Maybe it is because Xiao Tianjian has received a perfect vaccination in the old time and space. Maybe it is because Xiao Tianjian has been practicing martial arts all year round, and even after becoming emperor, he has been practicing as usual. In addition, Xiao Tianjian is also quite self-controlled for women. Emperor Xiao is in good health, although he is in power. Many years later, he is in his forties, but his health is still quite good.
However, over the years, the cabinet ministers have become old one by one and have begun to replace a group of new officials, replacing these earliest cabinet ministers and starting to take charge of state affairs.
Lu Xiangsheng, the first prime minister of the cabinet, after serving as prime minister for eight years, was also in poor health day by day because of accumulated fatigue. In the 11th year of Tianyuan, he submitted his resignation to Xiao Tianjian and resigned as the position of prime minister. After officially obtaining the approval of Emperor Xiao, he stepped down. Raising in the countryside.
With the assistance of the first batch of cabinet ministers, various government affairs of the Greater China and North Korea have carried out quite smoothly. Although they have also made some wrong decisions, they have made far more achievements in general, which has made the Greater China and North Korea present a prosperous scene.
However, since there is politics, it is impossible to put an end to party strife. Because of some differences in political opinions, the formation of the party has gradually begun to appear.
This is not what Xiao Tianjian expected, because this is an inevitable thing, but in his opinion, it is better to block than to block. Instead of banning party disputes, it is better to guide this kind of party disputes to be open and take the right way.
So in the eleventh year of Tianyuan, Xiao Tianjian officially issued two party licenses in the name of the emperor. One was the Labour Party headed by the more radical new Minister of Industry, Ma Xiaotian. They represented the interests of the new national capitalism of China and North Korea, advocated the development of the market and the development of the economy. For Xiao Tianjian The overseas colonial policy is very supportive, and most of them represent the interests of the new bourgeoisie.
The other is a relatively conservative faction, which is named the Democratic Party. Headed by the new Minister of Civil Affairs, they strive to be more stable in terms of political opinions and pay more attention to mainland affairs. They are not too active in territorial expansion.
In essence, Xiao Tianjian does not like the conservative Democratic Party, but after all, they also represent a considerable number of people's political opinions, so their existence is still necessary. To a certain extent, it can limit the fact that the Labor Party is too radical.
Therefore, after the eleventh year of Tianyuan, the government and opposition began to be divided into two parties, but Xiao Tianjian only received the licenses of two parties and did not add more other political parties. He did this mainly considering that too many parties would eventually make trouble. There are two parties for the Great China and North Korea now. That's enough.
However, Xiao Tianjian did not implement any way for the ruling party to form a cabinet, but adopted a joint cabinet in the cabinet, allowing the two parties to contain each other for the time being, and he would preside over the government.
The two parties can promote their governing philosophy through newspapers. In the future, they will gradually guide the people to decide who will preside over the government affairs. But sooner or later, he will still promote the constitutional monarchy. This is just planning for the future in advance, and his health is quite good. Xiao Tianjian believes I want to work for another 20 years, so these things are just preparing for the early stage.
The openness and formalization of party struggle also avoid many of the ills of previous party struggle. There is more containment and supervision between the two parties, which is more conducive to the integrity of officials in the future. Although it is immature at the beginning, it is subtly under the deliberate guidance and supervision of Xiao Tianjian. Under the supervision, the two-party system can be determined in the future and will become the political system of China and North Korea.
With the gradual retreat of Lu Xiangsheng's generation of old ministers, a large number of new officials trained by the Dazhong Dynasty began to appear in the official system of the Dazhong Dynasty. Compared with the old generation of officials, these new officials are more energetic and have a longer-term vision.
Especially these new generation of officials, whose vision is no longer limited to mainland China. Under the guidance of early publicity and education, many officials began to pay more and more attention to the wider world and pay more attention to other parts of the world.
Coupled with successive military victories, the territory of China and North Korea continues to expand, and class contradictions have also been vented to a certain extent through such expansion, making the domestic situation more and more stable. Although due to China's unique ethnic reasons, small-scale conflicts are still ongoing in the southwest border and northwest. It happened, but this is not a bad thing for the military.
What the army is most afraid of is long-term peace. If it is too long-term peace, it is quite unfavorable to the development of the army. Therefore, when Xiao Tianjian deliberately dealt with this matter, he did not take the method of killing some tribes that did not comply with the decree of the Dazhong court.
On the contrary, he takes some relatively soft means, but at the same time, he takes measures of suppression militarily, so that this small-scale conflict is limited to a certain extent, and then the military constantly rotates. First, it is to maintain the training of troops, and second, it can be tested from these small-scale conflicts. New tactics.
With the deliberate guidance of industrial development in the Dazhong Dynasty, the development of machinery and metallurgy and various light industries in the Dazhong Dynasty for more than ten years. By the time of Tianyuan, after a long period of accumulation, the industrial development of Dazhong Dynasty began to burst out with great energy.
By the 13th year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the overall iron production of the Great Middle Ages and North Korea had already exceeded the iron production of all dynasties in Chinese history, and even doubled the iron production at the peak of history.
In addition to the soaring production of raw and cooked iron, under the guidance of Xiao Tianjian, the original steelmaking converters, which seemed very simple in the old time and space, began to be gradually put into production. Although Xiao Tianjian did not learn to smelt, at least he also know some knowledge about this.
The development of many technologies is actually a layer of window paper, which can be broken as soon as it is poked. There is Xiao Tianjian, a super-era cheater. In fact, he only needs to put forward a general idea, and then he can give it to the people below to explore. As long as he maintains the investment in its funds, let it continue to experiment and refine The problem of steel furnace can still be solved.
And this process of exploration is also indispensable. It is necessary to let the personnel in this field explore from the most basics, and then constantly improve it. For the principle, we can't just know it but not know why, but to thoroughly understand why. Therefore, although the steelmaking furnace is very primitive, for the future, once After mastering the principle of steelmaking, improvement is a matter of course.
With the commissioning of steelmaking converters, the industrial development of China and North Korea has also had a more solid foundation. In addition to the higher and higher quality of military products, the quality of various mechanical products is also getting better and better.
Under the guarantee of these premises, the weapon manufacturing level of Dazhong Dynasty is also developing by leaps and bounds. By the thirteenth year of Tianyuan, the first tizhao front-mounted rifle of Dazhong Dynasty was finally developed.
Moreover, Xiao Tianjian designed and produced the first generation of Mines rifles before the establishment of the chemical industry and was temporarily unable to produce fire caps, using Mines to replace the old round bullets.
As soon as this Minet gun was tested, it immediately caused a shock to the military. After the testers showed the new rifle to the generals of the army, the officers were immediately shocked.
They personally test-fired this new Minee rifle, and immediately began to submit documents, asking the military to replace this new tinu rifle.
So after that, Xiao Tianjian personally named this new type of rifle as a large, medium-sized Type 13 rifle, and issued a decree to start mass production. The first batch of production-type Minee rifles were first replaced in the navy according to Xiao Tianjian's intention, and then began to chase the army division of the Dazhong Army from the outside to the inside. Step by step change.
Considering the killing distance and accuracy of this new rifle, Xiao Tianjian ordered to block the production process of this new rifle on the one hand, and on the other hand, strictly order the people not to imitate the rifle, so that this thing will not be in the hands of some lawless people and become a sharp weapon against China and the government of the Great China and North Korea.
The people are only allowed to produce and use the old-fashioned smoothbore lancer as hunting and militia equipment. Only the military can replace this new-style rifle.
In addition, with the continuous improvement of steel production and quality, the production of artillery in China and North Korea has become much more powerful. A new type of steel cannon has begun to be produced. This new type of steel cannon has some characteristics of the old time and space artillery.
First of all, this kind of steel gun began to be manufactured into a recylinder. Although it is still triggered by the fire gate and flile device, the tangle of the end of the gun has been designed. The ammunition can be directly loaded into the barrel from the end of the gun, and the tail of the gun is closed with a barrel. The most important thing is in the turret, because of the application of various machinery, It was also pulled out of the river, and the shell was replaced by a conical columnar pointed bullet, replacing the original round shell.
Although this new sharp-headed bullet cannot make explosive bombs filled with gunpowder because of the seal, its range and power have been greatly improved.
After testing the new gun, the military was even more happy and once again asked to replace it with this new gun.
However, Xiao Tianjian is a little sorry after personally testing this new rear-loaded line gun. Although the range, power and accuracy of this gun have improved a lot, it is not very practical for Lu Shi. Especially before the grenade is successfully developed, this kind of gun can only use solid shells. On the contrary, After its launch, the stability is very good when flying in the air, and the landing is directly inserted into the soil layer. On the contrary, it is not necessarily better than the old-fashioned round shell bounces to kill people after landing.
Therefore, after discussing with the military officers, he decided that this new type of rear-mounted line-bore gun will not be equipped with the land division for the time being until the grenade is successfully developed. The land division continues to use the old front-mounted smoothbore gun, but in the future, the barrel will be replaced by steel to strengthen the barrel strength. To reduce the weight of the gun body.
However, this new rear-loaded line-fire gun is very practical for the navy as a carrier-borne gun, especially when it is used to fight against enemy ships. Even if there are no grenades, only solid shells are used, and the armor-piercing ability is greatly improved by more than ten times. The accuracy and range are far more than the front-mounted smooth-fire guns, and the speed of fire is also Faster.
This thing is really a naval weapon. Once a large number of ships are equipped with the navy, those warships of Western countries can only be regarded as scum under the bombardment of this kind of cannon. Outside the distance they fire, the naval guns of the large and medium-sized army can easily and accurately hit their ships, and can easily break them through them. Even if the ships of the Great China and North Korea are smaller than the enemy ships, the ships of the Great China and North Korea can easily win the naval battle.
Originally, Xiao Tianjian also wanted to design and develop the tube annealing gun. Unfortunately, the steel quality and mechanical manufacturing process in this era did not meet the requirements. Even with the simplest spring tube retreat device, the spring is not easy to meet the requirements for the time being, so I can only give up for the time being and continue to use the defator, but even if In this way, for the development of artillery, the Great China Dynasty is still far at the forefront of the world, which also makes the navy of the Great China Dynasty invincible at sea for a long time to come.
So with the finalized of this kind of rear-loaded liner gun, the navy began to gradually change its equipment on the ship. At this point, the officers of the army division were a little dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do! Who makes this kind of new guy more suitable for the navy, but for the army division, it is still a kind of chicken rib for the time being.
(Today, I would like to thank you for the reward of two intoxicating friends! Thank you very much!)
