From Propulsion City To Multiverse

Lingnan, Panyu.

After Song Que finished reading the reports from Zhongyuan and Jiangnan, he showed a thoughtful expression.

The current situation in various places tends to repeat the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. After watching the several battles of the Human Revolutionary League last year, he was completely disappointed with the princes in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Zitong fled without a fight, Le Botong was smashed to pieces in Jinling City, and Yang Guang hid in Yangzhou City as a coward.

Moreover, information from the Song Clan showed that Yang Guang's 40,000 imperial guards were somewhat unstable at this time, and many Sui soldiers from Guanzhong didn't want to stay in Jiangnan at all, but wanted to return to Guanzhong.

In fact, this is not to blame for these Guanzhong soldiers. Even the Jiangdong Han people who have migrated to the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years cannot resist diseases such as malaria, schistosomiasis, cholera, and typhoid, let alone the Guanzhong people.

That is to say, the Human Revolutionary Union has a strong health system, coupled with the gradual mass production of new drugs such as Pozhang Dan, Tartar, Allicin, and Berberine, which can suppress infectious diseases in places such as Jiangnan and Daliuqiu.

At present, there are a large number of immigrants from the Human Revolutionary Union and immigrants from southeast states, and the case fatality rate within one year is less than 1.3%.

The reason why there is still a 1.3% fatality rate is mainly because of many old, weak, sick and disabled people, as well as long-term malnourished people.

This is also why, in the immigration work, it is necessary to rest and recuperate in Hudouzhou and other places, mainly to take care of the refugees' bodies.

As long as the body is strong, the resistance to disease is relatively high, and it will not die of illness all at once. Maybe it can be overcome by virtue of physical fitness.

If the previous immigration method is adopted, acclimatization to the soil and water, subtropical and tropical infectious diseases can kill 50-80% of the immigrants from the Central Plains.

The so-called crossing south in clothes is a road of blood, a road paved with the bones of our ancestors. .

Song Que is well aware of the harsh environment in the south. Lingnan can maintain relative independence. On the one hand, it relies on the mountainous terrain of Nanling, and on the other hand, it is the disease and climate in the south. Plague of scale.

He picked up another letter, which was written to him by Song Shidao. The letter was very long, with hundreds of pages in it, and it was almost as long as a book.

The above described what Song Shidao had seen and heard in the territory of the Human Revolutionary Union, and the part with the most ink and ink was all kinds of health knowledge and new medicines owned by the Human Revolutionary Union.

After reading it, even Song Que was shocked.

"This south, it seems, is the world of the Human Revolutionary League.

"

Song Zhi, who was at the side, asked impatiently, "Brother! Why do you build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"

"See for yourself!"

After receiving the letter from Song Que, Song Zhi quickly browsed through it. At first, he didn't believe how a letter could make his proud elder brother admit defeat.

After he finished reading, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

The People's Revolutionary League, where all the people are soldiers, immigrants with an extremely low death rate, huge warships, and extremely sharp artillery...

The clever Song Zhi, after combining these things, found that the Human Revolutionary League is indeed very scary, especially in the southern region.

If the leader of the Human Revolutionary Federation was more ruthless, he could use those hygienic knowledge to reverse operations, such as deliberately throwing the excrement of blood-sucking worm patients near the opponent's water source, or deliberately selling the clothes of smallpox patients to the enemy's sphere of influence within.

When a large-scale infectious disease breaks out in the enemy's territory, the army of the Human Revolutionary Alliance can take down these enemies without bloodshed.

The climate and diseases in the south have instead become the advantages of the Human Revolutionary League.

Song Zhi finally understood why Song Que would admit defeat.

This battle cannot be fought.

If the northern army cannot solve the problems of acclimatization and disease, these two major problems alone can turn the south into an impenetrable natural line of defense.

Only the People's Revolutionary League can fight against others. As soon as others enter the south of the Yangtze River, they will be weakened by more than half of their combat effectiveness. Facing the Human Revolutionary League with strong ships and guns, Song Zhi thinks with his toes that he knows who is in the south. .

It's just that Song Zhi still has doubts about joining the People's Revolutionary Union: "But big brother, even if we want to join, the other party may not accept it. According to their policy..."

"The trend of the times, before the Northern Expedition of the Human Revolutionary Federation, our Lingnan will become the opponent's next target." Song Que seemed to have seen the future.

Song Zhi was startled: "The Human Revolutionary Federation will attack us first?..."

After thinking about it, Song Zhi also figured it out immediately.

To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the interior. The south is the basic territory of the Human Revolutionary League. Once the full-scale Northern Expedition is launched, if the Song Dynasty launches an attack from the south of Lingnan and attacks the southeastern and Liuqiu states of the Human Revolutionary League, then the Human Revolutionary League will suffer from the enemy.

Putting himself in his shoes, Song Zhi knew that Lingnan would become the next target of the NRRA, because the NRRA needs a solid rear, not a heavy burden for defense.

"I have already decided that on the first day of the next month, I will go to Liuqiu Danshui and the Human Revolutionary League to plan a good way out for the children of the Song family. As for the Lingnan family, the world belongs to the people of the world after all, so let them make their own choices. !"

Song Que was very decisive. As the head of the family, he was a one-of-a-kind existence. Among the tens of thousands of children of the Song Clan, there were only a few hundred people in their family. If they were properly arranged, there was still something that could be done.

In the future, even if they compete fairly with ordinary people, many family elites will not be too far behind, and he, Song Que, has no intention of worrying about his clan members for the rest of his life.

How to survive under the rule of the Human Revolutionary League depends on each person's ability and circumstances.

When Song Que made a decision, Song Zhi naturally did not dare to disobey, and he began to make suggestions for this matter: "Brother, I am worried that those Yue people and Qiong people will make trouble secretly."

"Return the 20,000 troops of the Longchuan County Defense Human Revolutionary League back to Panyu. The Qiong people don't have to worry. Qiongzhou Island is surrounded by the sea. In addition to our suppression for so many years, they can't make any waves."

Song Que continued: "As far as the Yue people are concerned, after I left, you immediately called the leaders of the various ministries and lords to Yulin County under the name of Lin Shihong for the Northern Expedition, and asked them to bring troops over, and then act according to circumstances."

Hearing playing by ear, Song Zhi already heard the implication.

If these leaders are unwilling to hand over their soldiers, they will kill the opponents directly, and those leaders who agree to hand over their soldiers will be escorted to Panyu for house arrest.

As for how to recover those soldiers, the RULE method is very useful. Song Zhi is planning to join the RUU, so he simply promises to divide the land and pay a mu catty tax.

As long as these chieftain soldiers are under control, there will be no major disturbances in the whole of Lingnan.

Sung Ji is quick to get into character.

And when he brought into the perspective of the Human Revolutionary Union, he found that many of the previous problems were not difficult at all.

In the past, it was necessary to make a fuss with the chieftain, but now there is no need for it.

He finally understood why the People's Revolutionary League didn't care about the powerful landlords, because it was completely unnecessary, and the Human Revolutionary League didn't need the powerful landlords to manage the place, nor did they need them to pay taxes.

Song Zhi has studied the internal operation mode of the Human Revolutionary Union, that is, government-run factories control industrial products, and farmers can only simply farm.

At this time, it is necessary to ensure that farmers have land, so that farmers can obtain food and agricultural products, and then farmers will have consumption power.

Otherwise, the land is owned by the landlords, and the peasants can’t even eat enough. How to realize the economic cycle of the industrial, agricultural and service industries?

1,000 farmers and 1 landlord, the consumption demand generated by the two is very different.

Take glass mirrors as an example, how many glass mirrors will the landlord's family buy? How many glass mirrors will 1000 farmers buy?

Consumption demand determines the food security of the Human Revolutionary Federation.

Suppose the consumption demand of a landlord is 100, and the consumption demand of 1000 farmers is 10,000.

In order to meet their consumption needs, the landlord needs to sell grain worth 100, and the peasants need to sell grain worth 10,000.

Can you see the difference.

If you zoom in, this situation is even more obvious.

This is also the core idea of ​​Zheng Sen's design of this system. As long as the local population and industrial product consumption demand are looked at, the agricultural situation of the area can be judged.

Assume that there are 100,000 agricultural population in a region, who consume 2 million crystal coins of glass products all the year round, and suddenly in a certain year, the consumption of glass products in this region is only 500,000.

valley

Then there must be problems in this area, either because of large-scale natural disasters, poor agricultural harvests, or a cliff-like decline in farmers' income.

The consumption of industrial products and grain purchases in various regions can reflect many problems.

As long as the Human Revolutionary Federation does not purchase enough grain in a certain place, there must be a problem in that place, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

The more Song Zhi understands the system of the Human Revolutionary Union, the more he understands that under this model, the aristocratic family has no way to grow and develop.

Because the core of the development of the aristocratic family is the heirloom of farming and reading.

If they want to grow and develop, they need to exploit the peasants. This is not a question of whether the landlords have morality, but the attributes of the entire class. It is destined that they can only develop and maintain by sucking the blood of the peasants.

Until the land was annexed to the limit, the population reached the limit, and finally the redistribution of population and land had to be completed by changing dynasties.

This is similar to the economic crisis in the capital era.

Perhaps individual capitalists still have a little conscience, but the general trend of the entire class cannot be changed by individual people.

Don't they know that doing so will make the bottom layer unable to survive?

The answer is yes.

But they have fallen into the prisoner's dilemma. If they don't suck the blood of the bottom, they will not survive, and then they will be squeezed to death by other landlords.

The prisoner's dilemma and the general environment of the society, as well as the selfishness of human nature, prompted the landlords to merge.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the annexation of land was almost out of control. In order to annex the land, the literati deliberately misinterpreted Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral precepts so that the literati could obtain tax-free power. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral precepts never said to Scholar-bureaucrats are exempt from tax.

The emergence of this tax-free scholar-bureaucrat has caused terrible consequences, that is, in order to avoid taxation, a large number of self-cultivating farmers, on the one hand, desperately sharpen their heads to gain fame, and on the other hand, "bring their fields to the famous scholar-bureaucrats."

Whether they are landlords, scholar-bureaucrats, or capitalists, their class attributes determine their behavior, and they can only continue to merge and privatize.

The existence of the Human Revolutionary Federation is to smash this process and lead mankind to a brand new path.

...

Daye 14th, February 1st.

Song Que, who secretly left Lingnan a few days ago, came to Tamsui City with only a dozen followers.

Since Tang Feilin is in charge of the work in Southeast State, Qiao Sancai is in charge of Liuqiu State's work now, but there is still a veteran in Liuqiu State, that is Long Sha who is experimenting with steamships.

In the Danshui Iron and Steel Plant.

Song Que saw one of the founders of the Human Revolutionary League.

So strong! The moment he saw Long Sha, he felt the sea-like oppression on this seemingly weak woman.

It turned out to be a great master!

He cupped his fists in greeting with a serious expression, "Song Que has met Minister Long!"

Long Sha asked with a half-smile: "Lord Song, are you really willing to part with the gold and silver in your hands?"

Song Que replied indifferently: "Money and wealth are foreign things, if you can save all people in the world, so what if I offer Lingnan with both hands?"

"Then let me take Lord Song to visit various places in Liuqiu!"

"There is Minister Lauron."

Long Sha waved her hand: "I'm just the person in charge of the Ministry of Industry. If you want to visit villages and cities, you can ask Sancai to take you."

Song Que pointed to the huge steel factory in front of him and said, "It's better to hit the sun than choose the day. I want to see this steel factory."

"Can."

The two walked into the steel plant and entered the blast furnace ironmaking area.

Hot! It is everyone's first feeling.

Many engineers and soldiers wore fire cloth (asbestos cloth), and when operating the blast furnace, everyone was engrossed.

That hot molten iron is extremely dangerous.

One of the blast furnaces just arrived at the stage where the molten iron was cast.

The baffle of the blast furnace was pulled open, and the hot and red molten iron immediately flowed down from the kaolin channel and poured into the prepared steel mold below. There was also a layer of kaolin inside the mold to prevent the molten iron from fused with the steel mold.

Soon a 100 kg pig iron ingot was cast.

"This furnace of iron probably weighs no less than tens of thousands of catties!"

Long Sha casually explained: "A batch of 50 tons is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Sui Jin."

Song Que looked around and saw that the entire factory was emitting heat from more than a dozen blast furnaces. The output of these steels really surprised him.

The cast iron ingot is quickly taken off the mold before cooling, and then pulled into the pure oxygen decarburization chamber.

The temperature of the entire decarburization chamber was very high. When a large amount of pure oxygen was injected, the dark red iron ingots shone brightly, sparks flew everywhere, and the temperature also rose rapidly.

"This step is to smelt wrought iron, and then facilitate the next step of processing." Long Sha said to herself.

Rather than smelting alloy steel from pig iron with a complex composition, it is better to completely decarburize pig iron and turn it into pure wrought iron.

Then by adding carbon or other elements, the required carbon steel and alloy steel are prepared.

Walking through the factory areas of the iron and steel factory, Song Que had a better understanding of the strength of the Human Revolutionary Union.

Based on the Danshui Iron and Steel Plant alone, the steel produced by it is dozens of times that of the entire Central Plains Dynasty. With such a huge output, it is no wonder that the soldiers of the Human Revolutionary League are equipped with a large number of armors.

Among them, the factory area that shocked him the most was the steel processing area.

All kinds of processing equipment can flatten the hot steel like dough into a circle and grind it together. There is no need for a lot of blacksmiths to forge the iron with a hammer.

In the thermal power plant next door, Song Que saw a huge steam engine, which transformed thermal energy into mechanical energy, and the mechanical energy drove the generator to generate electricity.

Then go to the north of the steel plant, and there is a newly built Danshui Arsenal four kilometers away.

Here he saw the production process of artillery, rifles and machine guns.

Picking up a very fine rifle, under Long Sha's guidance, Song Que fired more than a dozen bullets.

"Huh! Many princes want to imitate your firearms, and now it seems that they are delusional." Song Que sighed.

Just now, after carefully watching the processing process, he realized how difficult it is to manufacture this firearm.

Just the 6 rifling lines inside the barrel, and the fine steel, are difficult enough.

Not to mention the confusing propellant and primer inside the small bullet.

Although Song Que was very confident that he could avoid firearm attacks and even defeat dozens of ordinary soldiers with guns.

But how many warriors in the world can match Song Que's martial arts?

I'm afraid it's less than one hand.
