Otherworldly Castle Era

　　 If it hadn't been for the large-scale marine steam power system that had not been developed, Yang Song would have wanted to build an iron-clad ship directly.

　　 Of course, iron armored ships are not only power, but also ship structures, new naval guns, and many other technologies, so Yang Song can only imagine in this regard.

The various artillery rewarded by the 　　 system are quite different from the original artillery in his impression, the most obvious of which is the artillery material and effective range.

　　Accordingly, this type of artillery that uses black powder as the propellant uses bronze, but Xia Guo’s artillery turned out to be special steel!

　　 And the range is completely inconsistent with the name of black powder, more like a more advanced special propellant. After all, an effective range of at least 900 meters is not easy to achieve, and the precision involved is not more commensurate with this era-the muzzle accuracy is measured in zero and one millimeter!

The amount of gunpowder fired is also very large. The standard propellant of a field gun of only 90 mm has a weight of five kilograms, which means that there is a long section in the barrel that is filled with gunpowder-this is why there is The reason for such high material requirements and precision requirements.

　　 If it were not for the advent of the steam age, Xia Guo's artillery production speed had been significantly improved, Yang Song could only drastically reduce the proportion of artillery equipment. In fact, compared to the infantry brigade that the system originally rewarded, the proportion of artillery in the army has dropped a lot.

　　 In the past, Di Qing’s infantry brigade had only three thousand five hundred men, but the artillery had 81 field artillery and 36 siege artillery. Even the current standard brigade of 11,200 men has only 150 field artillery pieces and 30 siege artillery pieces.

The number of 　　 was three and two times the previous number, but the number of field artillery was only less than doubled, and the number of siege artillery was even reduced. For this reason, apart from the fact that the entire brigade is equipped with muskets, the bigger reason is that this number of artillery is sufficient.

The 　　 field artillery was set up to strike at local soldiers. The siege artillery was used to siege the city as it was named. Too much artillery sometimes may not be able to function, on the contrary, it will delay the mobility of the army.

　　After testing and confirming by Li Jing and others during this period, it was found that the new army establishment is more practical and flexible, and it is more conducive to offensive.

At this time, Yang Song thought back and found an important problem. The system rewards at the beginning were more defensive. It was like an infantry brigade at the beginning. The whole army was a defensive army, otherwise an army of three thousand and five hundred people. There are more than a hundred artillery pieces. If you attack hundreds of kilometers away, don't be exhausted.

　　 Nowadays, the army that has just been reorganized is a completely offensive army, with a large organization and a moderate number of artillery. This is not what a defensive army looks like.

　　 Isn't this telling him that Xia Guo has passed the defensive stage and can start to expand?

　　 Yang Song gathered these divergent thoughts and returned to the matter before him, an application for him to decide whether to relocate the military factory.

　　 This application was submitted by the Department of Administration. The book stated that the military factory was built in the inner city of Apocalypse City. The noise and soot were very loud, and the surrounding areas were filled with shops, which had seriously affected the surrounding residents.

Yang Song saw that this application was not annoying whether or not to relocate the military factory, but was feeling that time flies so quickly, thinking that a small Apocalypse city was dissatisfied with the residence at the beginning, and there was a large vacant lot. This is just the past. In 14 years, the Tianqi City has been expanded by a large circle, and these originally planned buildings have also begun to not adapt to the new layout, especially within the one-kilometer-long city wall.

　　 If it weren’t for the minister’s suggestion that all the one-kilometer-long inner city should be used as a royal palace, it is estimated that the current Apocalypse City would have demolished the original wall for the convenience of transportation.

　　 The one-kilometer long and wide palace is already very big, and it has a complete city defense system. The moat is also readily available. It is very good to serve as the future palace wall, but Yang Song did not agree and could only give up.

　　 But Yang Song did not completely veto it, so when Xun Yu developed the Apocalypse City, he relocated the various buildings in the inner city to the outside, and gradually emptied the inner city, so that it can be done immediately when the time comes.

　　It is like building a new official street in the outer city, planning the area around the city wall, dividing functional areas, where is the commercial area, where is the residential area... These are all going on at the same time, waiting for the future.

　　 One square kilometer, which is one million square meters, is used as the palace of 1,500 acres, which is larger than the area of ​​720,000 square meters in the Forbidden City.

　　 But Yang Song's plan is that even if the inner city becomes a palace, most of it will only be built into various functional buildings, such as a science and technology institute, a library building, and even Yang Song wants to build a top university in the palace.

　　 There is no wall built outside the expansion of Tianqi City. Basically, except for the first few small towns and the Guihua City outside Shanhaiguan, there are walls in the entire Xia Country, and the rest of the towns have no walls.

　　 After all, in the face of Xia Guo's current military strength, it doesn't matter whether there is an ordinary city wall, of course, except for the two passes, which is the focus of defense.

　　……

　　 Yang Song used a red pen to endorse the word "agree" on the application form. As for the specific relocation of the military factory, it depends on the arrangement of the Military Department.

He then opened the next text book and read it. This is a book written by Li Bao on the construction of ocean-going fleets. The middle shows that the two fleets in the plan have been built. It should be an ocean-going offensive with a total of 50 warships. It's time for the fleet.

　　 Yang Song did not immediately approve this application. Instead, he put it in the area marked "Pending", and planned to discuss with Zhang Juzheng, Li Jing, and Liu Ji before making a decision.

　　 In Yang Song's view, Xia Guo's current navy is already strong enough, and there is no need to build a stronger fleet. In fact, Yang Song doesn't want to, but can't.

　　 Because even Xia Guo’s current navy, the annual maintenance cost is equivalent to the army’s three new standard brigades ~www.novelmtl.com~, and the construction cost of that price has not yet been calculated.

　　 You must know that the entire navy, including various clerks, is no more than 10,000 people, 42 large and small warships, and 29 of them are medium and small warships below the cruise ship.

　　 If large-scale battleships account for half of the ocean-going fleet, then I don’t know what an astronomical amount of maintenance costs will be!

　　 Originally, Yang Song wanted to directly dismiss the zucchini, but he wanted to see what additional insights Li Jing, Liu Ji and others had, and then put it in the pending area.

　　 Next, Yang Song dealt with the official affairs of Xia Guo's development, such as the expansion of the steel plant, the addition of indigenous labor for mining, and the addition of new villages and towns.

　　 After he finished dealing with today's affairs, he looked up and realized that the sky was already near dusk, and the time of this day had passed unconsciously.

　　 Yang Song stepped out of the study, stood in the corridor and saw what his two children were doing in the pavilion in the lower garden. He went downstairs and walked into the pavilion curiously, and found out that they were practicing calligraphy at a close range.

　　 The two elementary school, who is now ten years old, is already in the second year of starting school. It is a good age to study.

　　 "Xian'er, you write the character'yi' well." Yang Song suddenly said, making the two children who were practicing the calligraphy look at him.
