The task of building a telegraph company began at the same time in each province, first connecting the main lines in the province, and then connecting the provinces to each other, and finally forming a huge telegraph network. The center www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion is naturally the capital, and all the important towns on the nine sides are connected, the southern coastal provinces are all connected, and the central and western provinces are all connected.

The appearance of the telegraph caused a great sensation in the Central Plains, and everyone was very interested in this tool that could transmit sound for thousands of miles. However, Jiyang did not open telegraph technology to the people for the time being, and all telegraph companies were jointly built by the Xingzhu Workshop and the Ministry of Industry, and only the two major chambers of commerce and the imperial court in the north and south could use it.

The people of the two major chambers of commerce and the imperial court all felt the convenience of the telegram, and with important news and decisions, thousands of miles away, the information that would have taken months to convey was now only a matter of seconds. The importance of messaging to businessmen was self-evident, and the telegraph allowed them to keep track of business information from all over the country.

The same is true for the imperial court, Jinyiwei and the Imperial Sword Pavilion have an internal telegraph system, and they have truly become Ji Yang's eyes and ears. Even in the remote western region, which tribe of the young people in the mountain lump rebelled, Ji Yang could know within an hour.

Successive dynasties have taken the western region many times, but because the young people often rebelled, the whip was beyond the reach of the whip, and the western region has not been included in the actual control range. As soon as the telegram came out, the imperial court was basically able to control the western region, and the north, south, east and west borders became much more stable.

To say that the spirit of the Han people to endure hardships and stand hard work is really not built, such a huge power grid, for other countries not to build in ten years. However, with only sufficient food and meager salaries, more than 400,000 people in all provinces across the country responded to the call and completed the main power grid in just one and a half years.

It is estimated that the previous conscription system was too hateful, but now that the conscription system has been abolished, the people can not only eat enough to help the imperial court, but also have meat to eat every day and get a certain salary, and they feel very satisfied.

After the completion of the main line, it will continue to be subdivided into counties and towns, so the telegraph network project has not yet been completed. According to Ji Yang's plan, every village should be connected to electric wires, and each town should have at least one telegraph.

The benefits of electrical circuits are also electric lights, which are easier to popularize than the telegraph and benefit the people. The Forbidden City has been fully equipped with electric lights, and at night there is no need to light tens of thousands of oil lamps, candles, and lanterns, as long as you press the switch, the entire Forbidden City will be lit up immediately.

It's worth mentioning that because infrastructure is building faster than culture, many people enjoy the benefits of technology but don't understand it at all.

As soon as the telegraph and electric light came out, many people chanted that there is the power of the gods and ghosts to call for wind and rain, manipulate thunder and lightning, and have the power of gods and ghosts. Some officials who love to pat on the back know that it is not Ji Yang's ability, and they also say that it is Ji Yang's ability.

Ji Yang did not forcibly dispel feudal rumors, but secretly accelerated the process of education popularization. It is obviously not enough to restructure the sect into a academy, the key is to build a private academy to teach astronomy, geography, biochemistry and other knowledge.

At the same time, progress has also been made in the north and south railways, the northern railway from Shuchuan to Yinchuan has been opened, and the southern railway from Shuchuan to Lingnan has been opened.

In line with the national policy of building a horse market with the Tatar Warat, Yinchuan became an important city for trade between the Central Plains and the Tatars. The cattle and sheep and other materials obtained from the trade in Yinchuan can be directly transported to Shuchuan by train, and then transferred from Shuchuan to Lingnan, which only takes a week.

The same is true for trade in Tibetan areas, which are first transported to Shuchuan and then transshipped to the Lingnan region.

As a transit station in the southwest of the northwest, Shuchuan has naturally become an economically developed area due to the vigorous development of Jiyang in Shuchuan in the past. Even if Shuchuan's industry is transferred away, agriculture and transfer stations alone can bring huge profits to Shuchuan.

When the railway was not opened, it took at least three months to travel from Yinchuan to Lingnan, and the journey was difficult, and I don't know how many cattle and sheep died when they reached Lingnan.

In addition, the railway from Beijing to Jizhou has also been opened, which is convenient for the control of the eastern Liaodong region.

"Tell Qin Shuang that after three days, send troops to Houjin, and take the entire territory within three months!" In the Beijing Telegraph Office, Ji Yang personally issued the first telegraph military order in history to the Jizhou Governor's Office through telegrams.

Toot toot, toot toot, toot toot......

The telegraph operator quickly pressed the electric key and used the code to send Ji Yang's order to the Jizhou Governor's Mansion.

Although only the Taihao Dynasty mastered the telegraph technology, Ji Yang took precautions and still set up a cipher code system. Because he knew that the telegraph, like the steam engine, must have a lot of money to be delivered.

In order to develop the economy of the Central Plains, it must trade with the South Seas and Western countries, and they can always find opportunities to steal technology. Of course, Ji Yang is not afraid that the technology will be stolen, and it is still the same sentence, to continue to develop and stay ahead.

After a while, the Jizhou Governor's Office replied, and the telegraph operator converted the code into text and wrote it on a piece of paper.

"Back to the emperor, this is a reply from the governor of Qin." A telegraph operator's assistant delivered a reply from the Jizhou Governor's Mansion to Ji Yang.

Ji Yang opened it and saw that there were four words written on the paper - the last general received the order.

"It worked." Zeng Zongcheng said happily.

"Yes, it worked." Ji Yang also showed joy.

The Later Jin, that is, the later Qing Empire, took advantage of the civil war at the end of the Ming Dynasty to break into the Central Plains and rob the Han people. The subsequent Manchu Massacre, the ease of shaving hair, and the regression of science and technology all brought historic humiliation to the Central Plains.

Although in the Fengyun World, the Later Jin has not yet evolved into the Qing Empire, Ji Yang still hates this country very much. After this attack, Jin was firstly to seize that fertile land, and secondly, to satisfy his personal bad tastes.

History: "Jinan Massacre", "Zhoushan Massacre", "Suzhou Massacre", "Yuanjiang Massacre", "Xiamen Massacre", "Haining Massacre" and so on.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty fought and burned for 37 years before initially occupying the Central Plains; In just over 30 years, the Chinese population has decreased from more than 200 million in the late Ming Dynasty to 19 million in the 17th year of Shunzhi, a net decrease of more than nine-tenths!

In the whole Central Plains County, there is no complete village, no complete family, no perfect family, and no perfect woman.

The loyal and brave men who had ideas and dared to resist in the Ming Dynasty were almost killed, leaving behind mostly obedient "slaves". Mr. Lu Xun said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty killed the backbone of the Han people. ”

In fact, the backwardness of the East behind the West began with the establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

I believe that anyone who knows this period of history will not have any good feelings about the Manchus. It's just that after the founding of New China, satisfaction has also become Chinese, so it is inconvenient to promote this kind of thing.

The population of the Central Plains decreased so much, although it cannot be blamed entirely on the Manchus, but also caused by civil war and resistance to the Qing Dynasty. Not counting the people who died in the war, only counting the massacre carried out by the Manchu Qing in order to rule the Han people, at least more than 7 million innocent people died tragically.

After beating Jin, Ji Yang has no psychological pressure.

――

"General Qin, our 200,000 cavalry is ready." Wutai Khan rode a black horse half a head behind Qin Shuang's white horse and said respectfully.

"Our 100,000 cavalry is also ready." After the previous leader hung up, Dolan was the new leader of the Uliangha supported by the Taihao Dynasty.

Since being defeated by the Taihao Dynasty, both Utai Khan and Dolan have been very submissive. Every time they saw the musketeers of the Jizhou army and a door tiger cannon, the two of them would have a trace of palpitation and awe.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait for the artillery bombardment to pass, and then you will charge." Qin Shuang's martial arts skills are extremely high, and he can see the scene more than ten miles away without a telescope.

In front of them was a medium-sized city, defended by more than 100,000 Manchu soldiers. If the Tatars and Uliangha were allowed to charge directly, they would have been able to break through the city, but they would have suffered heavy losses.

Qin Shuang saw that more than a dozen old artillery pieces used to be produced by the Star Constellation Workshop had been erected on top of the enemy city, probably from North Korea and Dongying. When Joseon and Dongying were not yet part of the territory of the Taehao Dynasty, the Star Workshop sold them a lot of old artillery.

"The seventh team of the artillery battalion is ready." Qin Shuang shouted.

The 7th Artillery Battalion, with a total of 54 Tiger guns, quickly stepped forward and arrived at the predetermined position, 10 kilometers away from the enemy city. Why use Swift Forward? Because with the militarization of training taking shape, the artillery battalion specially trained a group of gunners.

The gunner is at least a six-fold realm, and he specializes in refining his body, so he has a lot of strength. They can directly carry the Tiger God Cannon for short-distance operations, and when they need to set up artillery, the gunners will be able to get it in battle for a while.

"Aim!" Qin Shuang shouted.

The commander immediately calibrated the Tiger Cannons, with forty Tiger Cannons aimed at the fortresses of the enemy city, and fourteen Tiger Cannons aimed at the gates of the enemy city.

The whole process was smooth and took less than three minutes.

The commander waved the flag to Qin Shuang, indicating that the seventh team of the artillery battalion was ready.

After Qin Shuang saw it, he paused for a breathing time, raised his hand and waved it heavily: Launch! The next moment, a barrage of artillery rang out, shells whistled, and a single shot destroyed half of the fortresses of the enemy city. Qin Shuang did not shout to stop, and the artillerymen skillfully loaded and fired, constantly bombarding the enemy city.

The cavalry of the Tatars and Uliangha were not specially trained, and the horses were frightened by the sound of cannons, which caused some riots. Fortunately, the Mongols had good technology and quickly suppressed it, and they all watched with wide eyes as the enemy city was bombed.

They had also enjoyed such intensive bombardment in the past, like a thunderbolt, and they still have lingering palpitations. This time, seeing others enjoying the bombardment of the Tiger God Cannon, the Tatars and Uliangha were scared and a little excited at the same time.

The Manchus are the Jurchens, you must know that the original Jurchens are very fierce, the Manchus have completely inherited the fierceness of the Jurchens, and their cavalry is by no means weaker than the Tatars and Uliangha.

However, such a fierce Manchurian, but under the Tiger God cannon, there is no resistance power, their cavalry did not even have a chance to go out of the city, was bombed by the fourteen Tiger God cannons aimed at the city gate, the chaotic cavalry blocked the city gate, and could not enter or exit.

The successive bombardments blew up the Manchurian cavalry with screams and screams, without any former majesty. The old guns they had purchased also fired a few shots, but they were quickly discarded by the Focus.

The enemy fortress and artillery, as well as the cavalry, were scattered, and after the thirtieth round of bombardment, Qin Shuang announced the end of the shelling, and then said to Utai Khan and Dolan on the left and right: "Which of you is going to attack the city." ”

"General Qin, I, Wutai Khan, am willing to attack the city." Utai Khan reacted faster.

"I'll leave it up to you, remember, you must not kill the people of the city." Qin Shuang said.

"General Qin, don't worry, you just wait to collect the city." Wutai Khan laughed loudly, raised his horse whip and greeted: "The White Wolf Department will come with me and enter Hazhou City!" ”

The 30,000 elite cavalry of the White Wolf Department immediately let out a wolf howl, and the horses galloped with Wutai Khan and rushed towards the enemy city.

After the shelling stopped, the Manchurian defenders in the city of Hazhou hurriedly set up defenses, trying to re-set up the blown up artillery and reorganize the chaotic archers and cavalry.

But it was too late, even if they had not suffered an artillery bombardment, the 50,000 cavalry in the city of Hazhou were no match for Utai Khan, not to mention that they suffered heavy losses in the shelling, and the horses and soldiers were afraid.

The cavalry of the two sides collided at high speed, and the Manchu cavalry collapsed after only one shot. They had not yet reacted from the shelling, and in a hurry to resist the enemy, how to hold back the elite Tatar cavalry.

"Kill!" Utai Khan had a scimitar in his hand, and the knife was full of momentum, and he hacked people and horses to death with a knife.

The Manchu cavalry collapsed, and Utai Khan barely felt resistance and fought all the way. The city gate has been blasted open by the Tiger God Cannon, and Wutai Khan led the White Wolf Department directly into the city of Hazhou, and the enemy soldiers turned on their backs wherever they passed.

"Hahaha, happy!" Wutai Khan was very vigorous, and he couldn't help but recall the scene of fighting Qin Shuang last year. But the Jizhou border fortresses are heavy, and each fort has deep trenches and barbed wire, as well as a defense of mines, tiger cannons, and musketeers.

Every time Utai Khan broke through a fortress, he had to sacrifice a large number of cavalry, which was literally piled up with human lives.

That kind of high barbed wire can hook horses, rush into the minefield and explode everywhere, finally rush through the minefield, and the on-demand is the intensive bombardment of the Tiger God artillery, and finally rush to the artillery barracks, and the on-demand is a row of muskets.

To this day, Utai Khan has a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

Finally, in the Manchus, Utai Khan regained the pleasure of galloping on the battlefield and being invincible in the past. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh, the Tiger God Cannon is really a good thing, if he blew up a few rounds before each charge, who else could stop the Tatar Iron Horse.

What kind of war is the pleasure of war? It's definitely not evenly matched, or outmatched.

Only a war that has the upper hand and sweeps away the enemy army can be thrilled.

The Mongol cavalry was very strong, but they also did not like to gnaw hard bones, and if they were forced to do so, or if there was a huge advantage, the Mongol cavalry preferred to bully some small countries and tribes around them. Trampling on each other's countries and plundering each other's supplies and women has always been a favorite of the Mongol cavalry.

In less than two hours, Utai Khan successfully captured the city of Hazhou.

"General Qin, after these people entered the city, they did not obey orders and killed the people without authorization, please punish them." After the capture of the city of Hazhou, the joy of Utai Khan did not last long, and he was frightened by a group of foolish men.

The White Wolf Department is a cavalry team that is more obedient and has strict military discipline, but there are also many rampant people. They did not obey Qin Shuang's orders, and when they saw women after entering the city, they couldn't help but practice the Mongol customs.

When Wutai Khan found out, he immediately escorted more than a hundred soldiers who had bullied the people to Qin Shuang.

"Whoever does not listen to the order shall be beheaded on the spot." Qin Shuang naturally wouldn't be polite to him.
