- Yang Qiu hit him directly on the head, which is all harmful. During the Xinhai period, the streets were full of Maxims and Madsen M50s. In fact, there was no such thing!
After the Russo-Japanese War, the Qing government saw the power of machine guns and indeed began to purchase machine guns for Beiyang and other new armies. However, at the end of August, in order to carry out this year's Yongping Autumn Exercise, the purchased machine guns did not arrive in time, so the Qing government borrowed machine guns from various armies. The number was so huge that almost all machine guns in the country were transferred away.
Originally, the Hubei New Army was not equipped with Maxims, but now even the few Hotchkiss have been transported away. Except for the Governor's Mansion and Zhang Biao, who still have a few cosmetic Hotchkiss in their hands, almost everyone in the army has them. There was no sign of machine guns, so much so that during the Yangxia Defense War, the civilian army used "six-barreled divine machine guns" to deal with the Beiyang New Army, which was armed to the teeth.
The same goes for the Madsen M50. Although the Guangzhou Manufacturing Bureau began to imitate it in 1908, the scale, output and technical level of the Guangzhou Manufacturing Bureau cannot even match Hanyang's arm. It can produce 2-3 models every month. It is estimated that I still can't get enough of the 100 I purchased at one time.
It's completely false that anyone in the movie can handle a machine gun smoothly. Madsen can be a bit more vocal, but the Maxim machine gunner is definitely a technical job with very high requirements. He can't even load bullets without receiving professional training. Not on the doorstep.
? 20 Maxim heavy machine guns, 100 Madsen M50 light machine guns, and 300,000 rounds of ammunition. If sold directly to Yuan Shikai, it will definitely not be less than 300,000. Is it just wasted? Yang Qiu gritted his teeth. If he had no other choice, he could only wait until the uprising started to select soldiers for assault training.
According to later records, the Yangxia Defense War lasted for more than 40 days, and there were still six or seven days of buffering after the Wuchang Uprising. How many of them should be able to be trained in the assault training, right?
After finishing the conversation, Lei Meng, who was competing with several heavy soldiers, immediately jumped up like a rabbit. This piece of hob meat was now submissive to Yang Qiu, but Yang Qiu did not dare to deal with him and him for the time being because of the important matter in his heart. Yue Peng and others said that after all, it was only half a month, and they had never experienced life and death like Xiao Anguo and Ma Kui.
After a while, Bingwen also ran over. Since Yang Qiu had already suffered an assassination, even Li Yuanhong had asked him to take a few soldiers with him wherever he went. Seeing that the two of them were still carrying long guns, it was not convenient at all. Yang Qiu smiled and said : "Let's go to the gun factory and see if I can get you some pistols."
"real!"
Lei Meng jumped up immediately. When Yang Qiu introduced two types of semi-automatic pistols to Su Hongsheng that day, his eyes were red. He wished he could just grab one and leave. Unfortunately, Yang Qiu didn't keep the pistol, and neither did the gun factory. Create a way. Although according to the regulations, he could be issued a revolver when he became a horseman, but after seeing Browning and Zilaide, who would still want to use a revolver, so he had a great time snatching Yang Qiu to clean his gun every day.
"Sir, I" Bingwen was also very happy, but deep down he felt that he had not told him that someone was going to assassinate Yang Qiu. There was a knot in his heart, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Qiu had already stopped him. He quietly asked: "Now can you tell me what happened that day?"
Bingwen thought for a while and told the whole story.
It turned out that when he went to Hankou last time, he overheard Jin Diaoliang's men saying that they wanted to kill Yang Qiu, so he rushed to protect Xiao Anguo and Yang Qiu, but he did not expect to be seen by Jin Diaoliang. Later, when he went out again, he sent more than a dozen A gangster from Hankou came to block him.
Originally, he wanted to tell Yang Qiu, but he felt that Yang Qiu had recently become less and less like the eldest brother who always talked about revolution, so he was hesitant in his heart and did not speak out. He did not expect that something would happen when he went to the Governor's Mansion for a banquet that night, so I always felt sorry for him in my heart.
"So, when I saw you on the school field that morning, you were just being chased by those gangsters?"
Seeing Bingwen nodding, Yang Qiu's eyes turned cold. He hugged the baby-faced man's shoulders and said, "Bingwen, believe me, I will never be a lackey of the Tatars. Many things like this today are It was caused by a strange combination of circumstances. As for what I am going to do, you will know soon."
"Brother Yang, don't worry. Brother Xiao has told me what you are thinking." Bingwen told him everything about Xiao Anguo looking for him. Yang Qiu did not expect that Xiao Anguo, who looked dark, skinny and dry like an old farmer, would defend himself so much. , turned his head and looked at the barracks behind him, feeling warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "Bingwen, do you want Browning or Mauser?"
"Sir, I don't want to pick, just Mauser." Before Bingwen could say anything, Lei Meng next to him jumped up unceremoniously.
Yang Qiu immediately laughed and cursed: "Idiot!"
"Idiot?" Lei Meng quickly grabbed Bingwen and asked, "Bingwen, why do you call me an idiot?" After spending a few days together, Bingwen gradually became familiar with this big man and said with a smile, "If you meet If the power of your two guns exceeds those of yourselves, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t choose Mauser.¡±
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??As he spoke, there was admiration and envy on his face. Lei Meng understood, look at this person? No wonder the baby's face is so white and he can still be a horse! As expected, I am not good at flattering myself! He turned around and immediately chased after him, shouting: "Sir, I understand, Browning is better"
"Have you really thought about it?"
"Think about it, as Ma Bian, you must always be consistent with the adults."
¡°¡¡.¡±

In front of the machine tool, a gun barrel rotates slowly with the gears. The annular knife combined in the center of the barrel is carving precise rifling. This is an extremely delicate job and the most demanding of skills, so it must be operated by the most experienced masters. .
But today, Su Hongsheng stood in front of the machine tool but showed no interest at all. Even the inquiries from several apprentices were perfunctory. All he could think about were the two semi-automatic pistols. He had never seen semi-automatic weapons before. There are still a few light machine guns in the factory that were imitated when they went to Guangzhou to support them. However, machine guns are different from pistols. It is rare to see them being so sophisticated.
He couldn't let go of anything, so he simply walked out of the factory and came to his narrow office. He took out the paper and began to write and draw on it. After a few moments, the general appearance and structure of the two guns he saw that day came out, but this After all, it¡¯s not a precise design, so it¡¯s still smoke and mirrors.
"Hey, if I had stayed I would have." Su Hongsheng thought of the words Yang Qiu left when he left that day, and remembered that the skills he had always been proud of were actually running behind others, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Twenty years Ah, my hair is all white.¡±
"If there are another twenty years, what will Mr. Su do?"
Su Hongsheng had just kneaded the drawing paper in his hand when he heard a sudden voice. He raised his head and saw that his son and Yang Qiu had arrived at the door. His eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly saluted and said, "I don't know. Sir, if you come here, you will be far away"
"Mr. Su was so polite that I was so scared that I didn't dare to come in." Yang Qiu laughed and walked into the house.
"Little bastard, why don't you come and report it first?" Su Hongsheng cursed, glared at Su Xiaohu and asked Su Xiaohu to fetch his treasured Longjing tea. He glanced at Yang Qiu's pistol and asked: "Sir, what are you doing? Come to get the bullets?"
Seeing Yang Qiu nodding with a smile, Su Hongsheng's smiling face suddenly froze. He walked to the back and took out a small cloth bag from the cabinet: "Browning and Mauser are each 500, please order."
Yang Qiu knew that the Qing government had strict control over bullets. Gun factories strictly registered everything from raw materials to finished products. Even ordinary soldiers did not have bullets in their guns at all. They would only be issued before performing tasks, so he asked: "Su Sir, I¡¯m a newbie here and don¡¯t know the rules. Do I need to register?¡±
"Don't worry, sir. I've already registered it for you at the manufacturing office. You can use it with confidence."
"That's good." Yang Qiu took the bullet, suddenly walked to the table, unfolded Su Hongsheng's balled up drawing paper, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Su to have such a good memory, not bad, not bad."
"I'm old. I haven't made any progress in twenty years." Su Hongsheng thought Yang Qiu was laughing at him, and angrily pointed at Su Xiaohu who just came in and said, "If it weren't for this scoundrel, I would have wanted to go back to my hometown to enjoy a happy life."
Su Xiaohu flinched, knowing that the old man was in a bad mood these days, how could he dare to talk back? He immediately put down the tea and ran to the yard to brag with Lei Meng and Bingwen. Yang Qiu laughed when he saw this and said: "Haha. I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Su to still be angry about my nonsense, Yang Qiu deserves to die.¡±
"Bingwen."
Without waiting for Su Hongsheng to speak, he waved to Bingwen who was waiting outside. The latter immediately brought in the bag he had been asked to pick up when passing by the military camp. After taking the bag, Yang Qiu did not open it and asked first: " Mr. Su, if I order a few pistols, what procedures should I go through?"
When Su Hongsheng saw Bao, he had already guessed it, and excitedly told the procedures to be completed.
The gun factory has the rules of the gun factory, especially since the Revolutionary Party has been busy in the city recently, so the management of guns is very strict. Although Yang Qiu is already a standard official, he still needs to go through various layers of registration and report to the Admiral's Office for filing. Hearing how complicated the procedure was, Yang Qiu immediately raised his eyebrows, glanced at Su Hongsheng and said, "Mr. Su should have heard about what happened to me. If it weren't for these guns, I'm afraid"
The news of Yang Qiu's assassination on the street had already spread throughout the three towns. Su Hongsheng thought he was afraid of exposing the details of his gun skills. Seeing that he still didn't open the bag, he was really anxious because he had been obsessed with guns all his life. He knew that Yang Qiu had just taken office. He didn't know the rules yet, so after thinking about it, he lowered his voice and said quickly: "I won't hide it from you, sir. If you believe me, you might as well make it privately."
"Privately made?"
Su Hongsheng immediately locked him upDoor, explain.
It turns out that since the gun factory opened, court officials and military officers have often come to customize firearms. Most of these firearms are not registered, and over time, private manufacturing rules have been formed. Private manufacturing does not mean finding a small workshop to make privately, and it is done in an honest way. However, the number of private manufacturing cannot be too large, with a maximum of ten or twenty. Secondly, the cost is more, because management at all levels has to be taken care of. Thirdly, No long gun is made without bullets, and special marks will be left on each gun so that if anything happens, it can be found out whose hand the gun came from.
Yang Qiu didn¡¯t expect that there were so many rules here. It¡¯s no wonder that guns were rampant during the Republic of China. In the later period, there were many independent gunsmiths. Now it seems that the source probably started from this kind of private manufacturing.
It will be a matter of the future to sort it out. Now this private manufacturing is quite convenient, so Yang Qiu opened the bag and took out a thick stack of drawings: "The detailed drawings of the two pistols are here. How many can Mr. Su make in half a month?" How about counting a few?"
Excitedly, Su Hongsheng took the drawings and regardless of whether Yang Qiu was still there, he spread them out on the table and started looking at them. Although there were only two types of pistols, the drawings were extremely detailed. It took Yang Qiu three nights to copy them. The corners of his mouth turned bitter when he thought of this. Firearms were so troublesome, and the big guy in the data machine would probably drive him crazy! Do I have to stay in the house and trace drawings every day for the rest of my life?
Su Hongsheng didn't realize that these drawings seemed too thick for a simple pistol. He just stared at them with eyes shining, especially when he saw that the sizes, models and even material requirements were written on the various accessories on the drawings. There was no need at all. If we then carry out physical surveying and mapping, we will definitely be able to produce several of them within ten days, so I rub my hands together excitedly and wish I could sleep in the factory with the drawings in my arms right away.
Yang Qiu did not bother Su Hongsheng, who had bright eyes. He saw him lying on the table with his eyes closed and his fingers moving along the drawings. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, especially when he saw his fingers almost turning to the next few pages. At this time, he even narrowed his eyes.
Su Hongsheng, who was so focused that he didn't notice the strange thing next to him, subconsciously flipped through the pages. But when he turned to the next page after reading Mauser's design drawings, his eyes suddenly froze, and he quickly read through the following pages. Browsed through it quickly.
The blueprint was no longer a pistol, but a light machine gun that looked very familiar to him. He quickly asked: "Isn't this a light machine gun made in Guangdong (the name of the domestic Madsen M50)? Sir, why do you have the blueprint?"
Madsen m50? Why do you want to make something so complicated? Moreover, it is extremely troublesome to replace the barrel, which is why I bought the top cylinder for emergency use now that I have no choice! So Yang Qiu immediately laughed: "Mr. Su, take a closer look."
The bipod, the magazine inserted high on it, and the deconstruction of the gun look very familiar, but Su Hongsheng's fingers crossed over the drawing bit by bit, and he quickly saw the difference in appearance. Yang Qiu was happy in his heart and scratched his head secretly. If it weren't for Hanyang's poor technical conditions and substandard stamping technology, the materials Especially since the barrel cannot withstand a high rate of fire, he can just use the simple and easy-to-make mg42. Even if he has twenty or thirty guns, he doesn't have to worry about Beiyang. It's a pity
"Hey, look at my memory, I got this wrong." Seeing that Su Hongsheng was almost finished reading, Yang Qiu pretended to slap his forehead and put away these design drawings of the Czech-made ZB-26 light machine gun with no famous model, but Su Hongsheng had been attracted to it for a long time. How could he let him take it away so easily? He quickly held it down and said: "This is not the Guangdong light machine gun. It looks a bit like it, but it has many fewer parts"
"Haha I usually design and play with it. Mainly because I feel that the light machine gun has many shortcomings. There are 127 large and small parts, and the barrel needs to be rested when it gets hot after firing for a while, so I thought if I could modify it. A machine gun that is more convenient to build and easy to change the barrel. I didn't expect it to be stuffed here." Yang Qiu deliberately laughed and pretended to put away the blueprint of the ZB-26 light machine gun. Now Su Hongsheng was anxious. The machine gun is simpler and can quickly change the barrel on the battlefield, allowing continuous firepower! Oh my god, this thing is an artifact!
"You designed this?" Su Hongsheng's eyes widened.
"Haha just for fun, for fun." Yang Qiu immediately put away the drawings and smiled deliberately: "I haven't seen the light machine and fast artillery yet, so I just played for fun, and the light machine and fast artillery are here in Hanyang I haven¡¯t made it yet, and I can¡¯t make it even if I give it to you.¡±
"Make it, it can be made! I still have a few good light machine guns that we in Hanyang imitated! Don't talk about this little pimple, we have already surveyed and mapped Maxim!" What a joke! Seeing Yang Qiu rolled up, Su Hongsheng was really anxious! Although he spent the first half of his life following others, it doesn't mean he has no vision. This drawing is basically designed, and based on years of experience, it will definitely work! No, you have to study it!
"What did you say? Have you ever built a light machine gun? OrHave you painted Maxim? ! "Hearing this, Yang Qiu's heart beat faster. If Su Hongsheng hadn't lied, this would mean
Seeing that Yang Qiu didn't believe it, Su Hongsheng quickly explained that it turned out that Guangzhou encountered technical difficulties when he imitated the light machine gun, and he led more than a dozen old Hanyang technicians to help solve the problem. He secretly drew the drawings during the imitation and came back. Later, I imitated a few of them myself, and even wrote to the court to ask Hanyang to join in the imitation. However, the price of the light machine guns was too expensive. Each gun cost almost 600 taels of silver. In addition, Hanyang was working hard on 57mm at that time. The renovation work of Shanpao and Hanyang was rejected. Later, due to neglect of management, several machine guns were rusted and damaged due to prolonged exposure to floods. This matter has still been his heartache for many years.
As for Maxim, he actually did surveying and mapping. During the Russo-Japanese War, Beiyang got the damaged Maxim from nowhere, so he summoned the best workers in the country to survey and map. Unfortunately, Maxim was too complex and difficult to manufacture, and the machine gun was damaged, so he just Instead of continuing, I purchased directly from Germany.
Seeing that Yang Qiu had almost put away the drawings, Su Hongsheng felt as if seven or eight cats were scratching him. He quickly held it down and said, "Sir, how about you let me take a look at it again?"
"Let's see again?" Yang Qiu's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he said with a smile: "Even if I ask you to build a light machine and fast cannon, you can build it two or three times a month At this speed, I think I'd better sell it to foreigners for money!"
"What are you talking about?" Thinking that he didn't believe in his own skills, Su Hongsheng jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on: "Sir, although you don't like Hanyang, but in any case, Army Ordnance Hanyang is the first ! Even Jiangnan dare not say it is better than me! As for Guangdong? Huh! I beat it ten times!"
Su Hongsheng's words are true. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the army in Hanyang and the navy in Jiangnan were very famous. If not for poor management and unsustainable closure of the artillery factory, it would not be Hanyang's turn to prevent the withdrawal of the 75mm Krupp tube. So Both the equipment and technology here are better than other manufacturing bureaus in the country. Most of the decline of Hanyang in the early Republic of China was attributed to the destruction of the Yangxia War. In addition, Yuan Shikai later moved nearly half of the machines and took away the old skilled workers. Gradually lost its top position in army ordnance manufacturing.
"But didn't you say that private manufacturers don't make long guns?"
"ThisI won't make it, I won't make it, just take a look, have a look." Su Hongsheng blushed and said quickly.
"Mr. Su, I'm not exaggerating. This gun seems to be easier to make than a light machine and a fast cannon, but in fact it is not simple at all, and the technical requirements are very high. I'm afraid" Yang Qiu has not finished speaking. Su Hongsheng had already patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Biaotong. I said it can be made, and it can definitely be made. At most, it should be slower at the beginning, but I am just doing research. This gun cannot be made without the order of the imperial court!"
Su Hongsheng paused deliberately. Yang Qiu heard the voice-over and deliberately pretended to be worried: "Mr. Su, it's not that I don't believe you. This thing is my treasure. You are an expert with guns. You should know about this gun." Ifit was lost, what a big deal it would cause."
"Don't worry, sir. I guarantee with my life that the drawings will never be seen by a third person." Su Hongsheng swore quickly, but when he saw Yang Qiu, he still didn't believe him. He pointed at Su Xiaohu outside through the glass and said excitedly: "Sir, What do you think of Xiaohu? This kid is naturally bold and has also studied at Wugao Academy. If I hadn¡¯t had only one son and didn¡¯t let him continue to serve in the army, I¡¯m afraid he would have become a disciplinarian! Just take him back and train him for a few days. It¡¯s like helping me.¡±
This time it was Yang Qiu¡¯s turn to be dumbfounded. He had seen obsessed people, but he had never seen anyone so obsessed that he took the initiative to ¡°mortgage¡± his son. What a big deal! He waved his hand quickly: "What does Mr. Su think of me? I am just a blueprint. I will leave it here for half a month. I will ask Xiaohu to send it back to me after half a month. What do you think? But make it clear! You are not allowed to make any rubbings." ! Secondly, it cannot be imitated. If something happens to this, my head"
"No, absolutely not!" Su Hongsheng's eyes narrowed with a smile. He quickly grabbed the drawings and carefully put them into his arms. He said with a smile: "In half a month, I will bring these drawings with my pistol and hand them to you in person. "
Seeing that Su Hongsheng was satisfied, Yang Qiu raised the corners of his eyes slightly: "Mr. Su, I want to borrow two light machine guns. What procedures do I need to go through?"
"It's easy, as long as youwait, you want to borrow a machine gun?!"
