Chapter 808: Declare War
Spring ploughing is extremely busy, and it can be said that the entire Xinghan Dynasty is spent in a busy situation.
And at such times, one after another new ships began sea trials.
These ships were loaded with steam engines and were very fast.
On the canal, you can immediately see ships emitting black smoke and roaring, running fast ahead.
Some people have never seen such a ship before, and when they do, they are standing on the bow of the ship and watching with curiosity.
It wasn't until they arrived in Star Han City that they learned that these ships had been loaded with steam engines.
The steam engine, now in the Xinghan Dynasty, there are not many people who don't know.
This thing is so powerful that the big one can break boulders, or it can turn rice into rice, which is extremely useful!
To this day, it can still be loaded on a ship, which is really eye-opening!
Star Hancheng is really a magical object at the moment!
The people are also very fond of discussing these new things.
These things are also relevant to their lives.
I heard that when there are more of these ships, some can be put into use on merchant ships.
When the time comes, wherever they want to go, the speed will be much faster.
Also, new crop seeds are being sown in some places, just wait and see, when it's time for the harvest.
If there is such a large production, there will be no shortage of food in the future.
This is indeed a great joy for the people.
At present, when it comes to spring ploughing, it is even more hard.
In the palace, Lu Chensheng looked at the music presented to him, and raised his eyebrows.
"The latest batch of guns, already starting to be equipped?"
"Yes, it's already equipped, and now it's already starting to be used by the soldiers."
Shangshu Chengxue of the Ministry of War immediately responded, thinking that she saw the rows and rows of neat volleys today, her face fluctuated a little.
After seeing today's test launch, she knew that the battle in the future would change.
In the past, she never imagined that this battle would become like this.
Just use those things, and I'm afraid that any knives and guns will be eliminated in the future!
According to the previous words of the Holy Lord, this thing is still a first-stage weapon, and the weapons in the future will be even more powerful!
If that's the case, think about it to know how terrifying it is!
"What about artillery, have you started to get started?"
Lu Chensheng then asked.
When Cheng Xue heard this, he immediately responded, "Huisheng Shanghua has already begun to be put into use, and the soldiers are still gradually mastering it." ”
"Are there any reckoning soldiers?"
Count soldiers?
Hearing this, Cheng Xue was immediately stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant, but still shook her head.
"You can't do it without counting soldiers, I have issued an edict, you can go to the academy to find a few people who are proficient in this field later, go to the army for some time, and teach you how to calculate."
According to the velocity of the shell, after adding calculations such as the elevation angle, it is possible to calculate the landing point of the shell.
Calculating soldiers is a requirement in itself, and this landing point can be calculated.
If you let them go, it's still necessary.
At the same time, I am practicing a lot with artillery, and when the time comes, I will be able to shoot wherever I want.
Cheng Xue nodded immediately when she heard this, and then her heart moved.
She suddenly remembered that in the past, the students brought by the saint were all like monsters.
Take those bows and arrows and start calculating, and shoot them out when the bows and arrows are full, how far they will land, where they will land, and whatever.
Then change the angle in case of a change in the landing point.
At that time, she could see clearly that these students were not wrong at all, and they were all accurate!
When the other party calculated, there were a lot of writing, drawing, and painting, and some strange symbols on them, which made people look at their heads big.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xue hurriedly spoke, "Saint, that kind of calculation is difficult for soldiers to learn, after all, they haven't learned that knowledge..."
Cheng Xue felt that if he learned those strange symbols or something, and arithmetic or something, he was afraid that those soldiers would collapse.
It's a rough person, how can you understand these things?
Lu Chensheng waved his hand when he heard this, "Don't worry, although it is a little difficult, it is not too difficult to cooperate with some auxiliary tools." ”
Cheng Xue saw that Lu Chensheng said this, so he didn't continue to speak.
"Let the soldiers practice more, don't be afraid of the loss of those ammunition, this Grand Duchy of Kyiv seems to have moved a little recently, and has begun to transfer troops frequently."
When Lu Chensheng said this, his face turned cold.
According to the spies, the Grand Duchy of Kiev does not seem to be very peaceful in recent times.
The two sides, which were originally a bit of friction, have gradually begun to smell of gunpowder.
Lu Chensheng wasn't too worried, but the soldiers still had to speed up their training.
"Yes, the minister will personally supervise it."
When Chengxue heard this, she immediately responded.
The latest legion equipped with this equipment is the Houtu Army, and it is also a soldier under Bai Yi.
When the time comes, it is also scheduled to be this thick soil army.
"Soldiers, let's recruit more these days."
Recently, the treasury has become much richer, and in addition to the number of soldiers, it is indeed a little too little.
After thinking about it, Lu Chensheng was ready to let Cheng Xue recruit some soldiers.
Cheng Xue immediately responded when she heard this, she had been thinking about this for a long time, but she didn't know how to speak.
As the secretary of the military department, especially with a legion in her hand, she is the most difficult to talk about it.
But now that the saint has spoken, all this is much easier to say.
Cheng Xue retreated directly after Lu Chensheng finished telling the matter.
Lu Chensheng still sat above to review the recital.
After the spring ploughing, things gradually increased.
On the side of the Grand Duchy of Kyiv, there have been constant movements recently, especially the large forest in that area, which is more than 100,000 square kilometers, and now there are soldiers from the other side in it.
For safety reasons, Lu Chensheng has already issued an order for the people not to enter in the short term.
However, this matter made Lu Chensheng more and more annoyed, in his opinion, the Grand Duchy of Kiev is also ready to learn from the Northern Fanguo, otherwise how could there be such a move?
The new ships should have allowed for more production over there.
At this moment, Lu Chensheng had already thought of some of the next series of plans, and his face gradually turned cold.
Time flies.
After the spring ploughing, the weather gradually became hotter, the rice in the fields began to grow taller, and the people began to continue to fertilize according to the previous practice.
Wang Tianxun of the Ministry of Industry was not idle.
Recently, I've been busy with him.
After the beginning of spring, some places have begun to cultivate, and where there is a shortage of water, they directly found Wang Tianxun, and asked the people of the Ministry of Industry to help control water conservancy.
Wang Tianxun has always been concerned about this kind of thing.
The terrain on the Pingyun Mountains is too high, and the drop is so large that it is natural to accumulate a huge water pressure, and then use this water pressure to send water to some places where water is scarce.
For this, Wang Tianxun built several dams under the Pingyun Mountain Range, and used this dam to start transporting water everywhere.
When there is cement, he directly erects all the water pipes, and sometimes directly builds high bridges for water transportation.
And these places are all thought out, and there will be no troubles caused by road construction in the future.
I have to say that this method is still very good.
Several states with extreme water shortages have also directly used this method to continuously transfer water to the past.
However, this is also thanks to the emergence of the steam engine, which has directly increased the output of cement.
At present, cement is available in many places, and roads are gradually covered with cement.
When I travel, I am now able to feel a lot more stable.
It's getting better and better.
Let the people be quite happy.
It's easy to get around, but no one will be unhappy!
And time, in a blink of an eye, has also come to early summer.
In the early summer, the previous equipment has gradually equipped many soldiers, and according to what Chengxue said, now it is time to start the war!
In recent times, the Grand Duchy of Kiev has become more and more presumptuous, and the soldiers of the other side have invaded their dynasty several times!
Because of this matter, the ministers quarreled several times in the early dynasty.
It's probably because in the past, under the influence of foreign wars, the ministers all felt that it would be considered your luck if I didn't fight you.
Now, when he heard that the other party had come to his own territory, he was naturally a minister who was a lot angry.
Everyone thinks that they must give each other a good look, otherwise, if it is to make the previous things happen again, then what is it?
Especially at this time, the people are even more noisy.
This matter is not so easy to hide, the scholars all know about this matter, and they are immediately very excited.
In their opinion, it's also like this, it's good if their dynasty doesn't touch you, but you still dare to provoke, isn't this looking for death!
If you don't clean up well, how can you show your heavenly might?
And because of the delay in the imperial court, many people feel a little dissatisfied.
They have always felt that the immediate saint is extremely tough, and they have never been accustomed to these people.
It's okay now, the other party is bullying to the door, so what's going on with no movement?
It's just that Lu Chensheng is just waiting for equipment, and the people's anger towards the Grand Duchy of Kyiv, and now the anger has accumulated.
Now that war is being declared, it is also famous.
At the behest of Lu Chensheng, the Minister of Rites wrote an edict declaring war.
According to his travels over the past few days, he finally wrote down one thing after another.
There is the fact that the Grand Duchy of Kiev killed the people of the Xinghan Dynasty, each with a name, a place of residence and age, and even an introduction to the situation at home.
In this way, what you see in everyone's eyes is not a cold number, this is completely a living life, all of them are their compatriots, and they have been so humiliated!
At this moment, everyone was angry, and they were even more excited about this declaration of war.
The imperial court really never let them down!
Even now, it is a direct declaration of war, a declaration of war against this Grand Duchy of Kyiv!
And at this moment, Lu Chensheng behind the palace looked at Bai Yi, and Bai Yi was already trying her latest armor at this moment.
A silver-white armor, with a yellow dragon entrenched in the armor, looked extremely powerful, and with the red cloak behind the other party, it looked even more heroic.
Lu Chensheng looked at the silver armor and couldn't help touching his nose.
"Lady, isn't this silver-white armor too arrogant?"
When this kind of armor is worn on the body, it is almost like shouting at the other party, you have the ability to come and kill me!
This kind of armor, it can be known at a glance that this person's status is definitely not ordinary, it is likely to be the boss, and it is even more rampant than the boss.
No matter how you think about it, it feels like you want to die.
"Didn't the husband say that the latest soldier weapons are extremely powerful? In this case, what is the concubine not worried about? ”
When Bai Yi heard this, she suddenly smiled and said, she was not very worried about her safety, but was thinking about how to quickly take the Grand Duchy of Kiev.
Now it seems that it would be a good thing to take down the Grand Duchy of Kiev quickly.
You must know that when Qi Shizhong destroyed the Northern Fan Kingdom, it didn't take much time, and she Bai Yi was no worse than the other party, so naturally she couldn't be too slow.
Hearing this, Lu Chensheng shook his head helplessly, "Let Shouyue accompany you." ”
After several years of hard practice, Shouyue is now a grandmaster realm, and if Shouyue is there, people who are waiting for leisure will not be able to get close to Bai Yi at all.
"Why are you so tired Sister Shouyue?"
When Bai Yi heard this, he immediately shook his head.
Nowadays, several people are called sisters, and they are used to each other.
"Hey, she's been very idle lately anyway, and she used to say that she liked to command the Jinyi Guard, but now that there are a lot of things, she is already annoyed, and now she is starting to do things again, so let her follow."
Lu Chensheng shook his head and said, Bai Yi went on an expedition this time, and the other party was the Grand Duchy of Kiev, and he still had the strength.
Lu Chensheng was a little uneasy.
Shouyue didn't know where it came from, her eyes narrowed slightly, "What did you say?" Am I too idle? ”
Lu Chensheng really didn't notice when Shouyue appeared, when the other party appeared in the past, Lu Chensheng could still detect it a little.
But now that the other party has reached the realm of the grandmaster, it is really difficult for people to notice.
After coughing dryly, Lu Chensheng said with a straight face, "Didn't you say before that it was too stuffy in the palace, it's okay to go out for a walk, Bai Yi is going to go on an expedition, you can also go and have a look." ”
Shouyue glanced at Lu Chensheng, looked at Bai Yi on the side, and then nodded.
"It's okay, otherwise my sister will be worried."
She said that Qiong Yue, let Bai Yi go out on her own, she would still be a little worried, if Shouyue followed, then basically she didn't have to worry too much.
