For example, Ran Min's beggar army at the time of the Wuhu Chaos can still fight to the death without retreating if more than half of the casualties are lost!

For example, Yue Fei's Beiwei army, with infantry to resist the heavy cavalry charge of the Jin people, can also launch a counter-charge and achieve a big victory!

Another example is Qi Jiguang's Qi family army, in the last battle of the Qi family army, the battle of the Hun River in Liaodong, facing several times the siege of the Eight Banners led by Nurhachi himself in the peak period.

In the absence of foreign aid, the last person in the battle was fought, and no one surrendered, causing more serious casualties to the Eight Banners than the Qi family's army.

Another example is the Anti-Japanese War period, the national/army guarding the Sixing warehouse in Shanghai, 800 people resisted the crazy attack of 300,000 Japanese soldiers without equipment as good as the enemy, no logistics and no reinforcement.

What sustains these armies in a fight to the death?

It's faith, it's loyalty, it's discipline!

The opera "The White-Haired Girl" ended, and many of the soldiers of the Dang Capture Army were crying, and their eyes were red.

The troupe stepped off the high stage, Chen Yan climbed up, waved his hand and sang with an extremely passionate expression.

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon flag rolls, the horse grows, and the sword qi is like frost!"

"The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, who can resist ...... in 20 years"

“……”

"I want to let the Quartet come to congratulate!"

Chen Yan got up, and the soldiers of the Dang Capture Army sang along, and the singing voices of more than 700 people gathered together, sounding extremely shocking.

The majestic singing voice spread to Anping City, and the Song army on Anping City was frightened, thinking that the Dang Capture Army finally couldn't help but capture Anping City.

……

Chen Yan returned to his Dadu Governor's Mansion and leaned on Liu Yueying, who gently kneaded Chen Yan's head with a pair of white and tender hands.

"Xianggong, you seem to be in a good mood today?"

Liu Yueying asked tentatively.

"It's fine."

Chen Yan nodded slightly, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, he had drunk a lot of wine today, and his head was still a little drowsy.

"I miss my father."

Liu Yueying said suddenly, Chen Yan felt a drop of water drop on his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Yueying's eyes slightly red, and large tears gushed out.

Chen Yan took Liu Yueying into his arms, caressed her back with his palm, and comforted her softly.

"My father-in-law is gone, you still have me, don't worry, I will definitely avenge my father-in-law."

Chen Yan's originally excited mood was also depressed, and he remembered his parents.

They died tragically under the sword of the Qiang people, and Chen Yan swore that he would avenge them!

The two hugged each other and fell asleep, and the next morning, Chen Yan had just walked out of the room and came to the lobby to prepare for official business.

Guo Jiangtou came to find him in a hurry, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, full of joy that could not be concealed.

"Governor, we have made the cement you said, we have tested it, and it is as hard as a rock after it is really dry."

"Really?"

Chen Yan was also shocked by this news, and the traversal artifact he had been waiting for for a long time was finally made.

"The Metropolitan Governor and the Little Old Man take this head as a guarantee."

Guo Jiangtou swore and said.

Chen Yan followed Guo Craftsman to their workshop, which was guarded by a small team of soldiers outside the workshop, and in order to prevent the leakage of Chen Yan's technology, everyone was forbidden to enter and leave at will.

Seeing Chen Yan, the sergeant saluted him with reverence, Chen Yan returned the salute very warmly, and then followed Guo Jiangtou into the workshop.

When I entered the workshop, I saw that many people were busy inside and out, making a furnace of cement.

Craftsmen grind limestone into powder, mix it with a certain proportion of clay, calcine, and after burning the mature material, mix it with a certain amount of iron-smelting slag, and then calcine it......

The off-white cement is made!

Chen Yan took a deep breath, his face full of excitement that could not be concealed.

Although in Chen Yan's view, the production efficiency is still very low, the production mode is also very backward, and the output is also very low, but at least it has been made.

Chen Yan turned around, looked at Guo Craftsman and said.

"Take me to see the finished product after solidification."

Craftsman Guo nodded and took Chen Yan to the backyard of the workshop, where in the center of the backyard was a gray-white cement block.

Chen Yan picked up the hammer next to him and threw it towards the cement block.

With a muffled sound, Chen Yan staggered under his feet, his palms were still a little numb, but there were only a little white marks on the cement block.

Chen Yan had a look of surprise on his face, took a deep breath, and said loudly.

"On the first day of the new year in the fourth year of Xuanhe, everyone gave me such a surprise, and everyone came to work on the first day of the new year."

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

"I'm not a stingy person, those who are here today will be rewarded with three hundred each!"

As soon as Chen Yan's words fell, a series of cheers rang out from the workshop.

Many craftsmen and apprentices were pleasantly surprised, they were very dissatisfied with letting them work on the first day of the new year, if it weren't for the fact that the wages given by the Dang Capture Army were really high.

Or pay according to efficiency, but they say that they will not come!

But as soon as Chen Yan said this, they became excited, this is three hundred dollars, if this is left on the usual ones that they may not be able to save in a year.

How can they not be excited, and the efficiency of their work is obviously much faster!

Chen Yan left the workshop with Guo Jiangtou.

"Guo Jiangtou, although the cement has been made, the production efficiency is still a bit low, you have to find a way to improve the production efficiency."

"Maybe you can use animal power to save manpower."

Chen Yan said that he found that the most labor-intensive part of cement production is the limestone crushing process.

If you use animal power, the efficiency will definitely increase a lot!

Guo Jiangtou nodded again and again, he was now completely convinced of Chen Yan, not just because Chen Yan was in charge of the Dangling Army, but because of Chen Yan's whimsical ideas.

Originally, the production efficiency of many workshops was very low, but since the use of the assembly line mentioned by Chen Yan and the standardized production, the efficiency has not only doubled.

Since then, Guo Jiangtou has obeyed Chen Yanyan!

"Also, isn't the workshop by the river, wait for the spring to see if we can use the water power."

"I'll give you a sketch, a machine that can use the power of water, and it will be absolutely effortless to use it to crush limestone."

"Okay, I'm tired of most of the governors."

Guo Craftsman said.

Chen Yan waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and then said.

"How's the Green Snake Iron Ore mined? Now that cement has been made, it's time for steelmaking to be put on the agenda. ”

"Yes, the Metropolitan Governor will urge them to do it immediately when I get back."

"The glass can also start experiments, this thing is out, and we will no longer be short of funds in the future."
