Chapter 167: Another Three Years of Turkic Destruction

On September 23 of the third year of Xingtong, as the last Turkic general, Kang Sheli, handed over the surrender table to Li Qin, the battle of Julu that shocked the world came to an end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Then Li Qin and Dou Jiande met at the boundary bridge, declared the covenant of the boundary bridge, and Dou Jiande attached himself to Li Qin.

After that, Li Qinnan returned to Jiangning and ordered the capital to be moved to Luoyang, commanding the Quartet to sit in the Central Plains, and at the same time conducting the Enke examination, and recruiting the Quartet with the imperial examination.

With the unification of the world, the ministers under Li Qin's command have been greatly supplemented, not to mention the side, only to say that those talents in Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion who served as prime ministers in later generations Li Qin will not be under his command.

After some study, some addition, these young people who still have the idea of making contributions in their hearts, after some shy thinking, integrated into Li Qin's court, and emerged in the court with their own intelligence.

Due to the addition of a large number of talents, a series of changes originally planned by Li Qin have also been launched.

In terms of the establishment of the imperial court, Li Qin formally determined the decision that under the emperor, the three powers were separated, and the government affairs belonged to the government affairs hall, the supervision belonged to the Dali Temple, and the legislative power belonged to the senate.

There are nine departments under the Government Affairs Hall: the Department of Patrol and Arrest, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Medicine, the Ministry of Land, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Commerce, which are in charge of arrest, finance, industry, agriculture, education, science and technology, medical and health care, land and resources, diplomatic affairs, commercial and trade exchanges, etc.;

For the enforcement of the law, the trial of cases is attributed to Dali Temple, and under Dali Temple, patrol courts of different levels are set up in various states and counties to hear cases;

As for the Senate, it has the largest and greatest legislative power. Nominally, the Senate could even decide on the abolition of the emperor, and the members of the Senate consisted of great masters, nobles canonized by the emperor, elected members of the states and counties, and a union of virtuous people from all walks of life -- in the constitution, the Senate had the same rights as the emperor.

Of course, such a right is also a matter for the future, as for the current founding monarch Li Qin is still there, the Senate can only uphold the emperor's will to tremblingly implement the corresponding strategy and determine the laws and regulations of the empire.

Dawu is a country that stresses rules, and after the unification, in addition to revising the gradually improving laws and regulations to make them more adaptable and easy to pass in the world, the Senate of Dawu has formulated various laws and regulations with a certain time limit:

The Homestead Law encourages people to emigrate to the frontiers, stipulating that anyone who settles in a designated prefecture or county can buy one acre of land at a low price of ten cents.

Li Qin really knew that "there are people and land", if the number of Han people does not account for the majority in a region, then this area will inevitably be seized by foreigners.

Li Qin did not want to forcibly emigrate to Shibian, so he asked the Senate to set up the Homestead Law to attract those who wanted to be prosperous.

This is true of the Homestead Law, and later of the Fertility Encouragement Act, etc., but these laws have time provisions. The Homestead Act lasts for 10 years and the Fertility Encouragement Act lasts for 60 years.

I don't know how much it is today, but Li Qin estimates that it should not exceed 100 million.

With the vastness of the Central Plains, a population of only 100 million is too small, and Li Qin naturally needs more people if he wants to lay a big foundation and play with large-scale industrial production.

The size of the population is generally determined by the amount of food. And Li Qin is confident that with the spread of modern grain in his own space in this world, the empire he founded will inevitably usher in a bumper harvest of grain, and hundreds of millions of people will be able to raise it at that time.

The decree was formulated and publicized, and because the government was directly established on the village community, and now it is the period of the founding of the country, the implementation of the decree is still quite effective. For a time, the people of the world moved from south to north to the real border, and there were also people, and as soon as the headlights were closed, there was a crackling sound and frequent gasps, and after October, one more person was added to the world -- everything was developing in a good direction.

The laws and regulations are orderly, and the rules are gradually established. With the advent of the fourth year of Xingtong, Li Qin let the political affairs hall, the Senate, the Dali Temple and other departments jointly formulate the four-year development plan of Dawu, which clearly stipulates that Dawu has established several large industrial bases in the world, three in the north and three in the south;

At the same time, people are encouraged to invent and create, and their respective skills are disseminated to the world to collect corresponding "patent fees";

And further complete the rapid development of army weapons in small steps.

At this time, Li Qin had an account book in mind, and his idea was to develop the equipment of his army from the armed forces of the late nineteenth century to the equipment of the First World War.

To this end, the research and manufacture of steam engines, steam turbines, and internal combustion engines must be put on the agenda. "Although there is a suspicion of pulling out the seedlings, I have to fight hard for the team battle in four years." Li Qin muttered to himself.

To this end, he completely entrusted the general situation of the military state to Kou Zhong, Song Que, Li Jing and others, and he pulled Cai Yan, Xu Ziling, Shi Zhixuan, Lu Miaozi, Chen Laomou and others into the specially planned base for carrying out research and development tasks, and cooperated with the further training of 30,000 young students who have reached the level of modern high school students to study various projects.

Relying on the wisdom of all the people, and with the help of various later generations of data technology and modern scientific research auxiliary equipment brought by Li Qin, Dawu completed the ignition of the first 500-horsepower steam turbine in June 18 of the fourth year of Xingtong, and mastered the manufacturing technology of steam turbines.

After that, the twenty-horsepower internal combustion engine was also overcome.

After that, high-quality cannon steel technology, Harvey steel armor technology, and TNT explosive formula were copied one by one.

At Li Qin's strong request, these people from the Dawu Ministry of Science and Technology mastered the manufacture of weapons before and after World War I in two years. Once the technology is mastered, the next step is production.

With the two-year construction, the six major industrial zones in the world have gradually completed the basic commissioning. After the completion of the first phase of the plan, production began, and the production of new equipment began according to Li Qin's plan.

WHEN THE TIME CAME TO THE FIFTH YEAR OF THE GREAT WU XINGTONG, LI QIN HAD ALREADY COMPLETED THE REORGANIZATION AND REARMAMENT OF 100,000 SOLDIERS AND HORSES IN THE NORTH, AND EQUIPPED THE TROOPS ONE BY ONE WITH BOLT-ACTION RIFLES, A LARGE NUMBER OF MAKQIN MACHINE GUNS, 75MM CALIBER FIELD GUNS, AND LIGHT MORTARS, AND COMPLETED THE CORRESPONDING ADAPTABILITY TRAINING.

After the training was completed, Li Qin's plan was naturally made public -- attacking the Turks in the north and completely taking the steppes was Li Qin's most important task at the moment.

On August 23 of the fifth year of the reign of Great Wu Xingtong, Li Qin led 50,000 troops into the grassland.

By that time, the Turks were in decline. The tragedy of the giant deer was still two years ago, with the backward productivity of the grassland, where was it so easy to recover?

When they heard the news of Li Qin's northward journey, the Turks were blinded. The Wu army did not make a move for two years, and they all thought that the Wu army and the previous dynasties in the Central Plains were almost stable and defensive, and they would not attack them without attacking them in advance. Therefore, they all fought for power and profit on the prairie with peace of mind.

But, as it turned out, they were wrong.

It was not that Li Qin did not want to go north to crusade against the Turks and cut off this great disaster in the steppe, but that he did not want to have a long, fruitless war of attrition with the Turks without being prepared.

Firearms are the focus of Li Qin's attention. In Li Chin's vision, the attack on the Turks should have been after he himself was equipped with decisive weapons. For this reason, Li Qin has endured until now.

When the twenty-horsepower internal combustion engine was developed, Li Qin asked them to continue research, and at the same time prompted them to combine muskets, machine guns, and artillery with the drive of the internal combustion engine.

In November of the fourth year of Dawu's reunification, under the prompting and guidance of Li Qin, the first chariot designed, developed and manufactured by Dawu himself was completed. This tank, which was inferior to an iron coffin in the eyes of later generations, had a weight of six tons, riveted armor of five millimeters on the sides and ten millimeters on the front, a single-rotating turret of 36 degrees, a rapid-fire gun of 25 mm caliber as the main vitality, and an internal combustion engine of 30 horsepower provided the vehicle with an off-road speed of more than 15 kilometers.

Li Qin was very satisfied with such a mighty weapon. Although it looks very simple, it actually opens it, and it shocks everyone a lot.

"It's a monster!" Song Que and Shi Zhixuan both said so.

Although they are already great grandmasters, and their strength is not afraid of such monsters, but their lack of fear does not mean that they are not as afraid as their soldiers. And they also heard from Li Qin that such a monster is just the beginning, and as the power of the internal combustion engine continues to increase, the armor and speed and firepower equipped with this monster will become more and more powerful.

“…… You can easily break through 10 millimeters of armor, but one day you can increase the armor to 100 millimeters, use a 1,000-horsepower internal combustion engine, and equip a 75-millimeter gun...... When such monsters, hundreds or thousands of them charge at you, will you be afraid? Just like the current battleships! Li Qin asked Song Que and Shi Zhixuan bluntly.

"Well, this one!" Song Que and Shi Zhixuan were silent.

They knew what was going on with the battleship that Li Qin was talking about, and in fact that the battleship was also a monster. It's just different from the one in front of you, it's a monster on the sea.

Compared to the monsters on land, the monsters on the sea basically don't need to think about what weight. After some relatively balanced considerations, the completely steel battleship was also built on March 8 of the fifth year of Dawu Xingtong, which was a conceptual battleship, with a displacement of 3,400 tons, a drive of 5,000 horsepower, a homogeneous armor 180 mm thick, equipped with six guns of 120 mm caliber and 30 times, distributed in a diamond shape on the deck (one in the bow and stern, two on the left and right sides), and ten electrically driven Grimm machine guns, which had quite strong combat effectiveness.

Such a sea monster, Song Que and Shi Zhixuan can't deal with it, their sword qi, no matter how fierce the knife strength is, they can continue to cut through the armor steel 180 mm thick.

"If this continues, the need for force on the part of the individual will drop to a very low level in the army. The end of the martial arts! Song Que could see it.

"The end of martial arts...... Perhaps! But this is our advantage over the grasslands...... Isn't it? Li Qin asked indifferently.

"This too!" Both agreed.

The monster was thus stereotyped, and Li Qin gave it a number according to the custom of later generations - "Battle One Style".

The battle style is powerful, but such a powerful monster also needs a certain number to form a considerable combat power. To this end, Li Qin did his best and mobilized the greatest resources, and finally completed the manufacture of the first batch of 20 chariots on the 10th day of August in the fifth year of the reign of Xingtong of Great Wu.

After hastily undergoing the most basic tests, the twenty tanks were incorporated into the expeditionary force against the Turks and became part of the Guards Firearms Town.

On August 23, Li Qin led his army on an expedition.

On August 29, the Wu army penetrated deep into the steppe and approached the royal court of the Turks.

In this expedition, the main force of the Wu army was only 50,000 people, and after these 50,000 people, Great Wu mobilized 100,000 militiamen and 300,000 people to ensure supply lines and transport corresponding supplies.

Li Qin's troops were very cautious, and the troops under his command clearly advanced at a speed of 50 miles a day. The militia and the people behind him also followed behind Li Qin at a considerable speed, disintegrating the grassland one by one and occupying the grassland.

With the support of quick-drying cement, castles suitable for defense were built one after another, and gradually connected into a line from Yanmen to the outside of the fortress, and this line was like the demon's blood-sucking fangs continuously absorbing the nutrients of the grassland to supply the merchants, families and gate valves of the Central Plains who were coming in the third wave. These people who came to the grassland to make a fortune brought more materials, greater vitality, and more rules to the grassland.

The steppe people have no freedom. Although they were still able to live in pursuit of water and grass, they truly understood that these abundant places of water and grass had gradually fallen into the hands of the Han people, and the castles standing on the grassland were the key to the Han people's control of the grassland.

The Han people came, and the living space of the Turkic people decreased. Despite the increase in supplies, the Han Chinese were not accustomed to the rules of the Turks. In the rockery Turks, who have always been high-minded, the Turks are very disgusted by the northward movement of the Han people.

The large and small Turkic tribes on the steppe could not take Li Qin's army, but they were unwilling to surrender to Li Qin casually. So they gathered at the Turkic royal court and tried to resist Li Qin's attack with the power of the royal court.

Weak and weak united, huddle for warmth!

Their ideas are good, but times are different.

They thought that if you concentrated on you, you would be able to resist Li Qin's attack, but it turned out that such a thing was a delusion at the moment.

On September 20, the fifth year of Xingtong, on the steppe less than fifty miles from the Turkic royal court, Li Qin's Northern Expeditionary Army and the Turkic garrison encountered each other.

The decisive battle broke out directly.

Li Qin's new rifle, the new machine gun, once again showed his fierceness in this war. And in the land of hell, where artillery and guns are intertwined, the neat appearance of twenty chariots brings deep despair to those who have fallen into hell. The last resistance of the Turks was extinguished, and the red banner was then raised in the royal court of the Turks.

The raising of this red flag represents Li Qin's de jure inclusion of the entire steppe under his rule.
