301 White Wave Valley
"At present, Huguan County has not been taken down. Isn't it a little early? Shang Wu said.
"Yes. There is one more problem. We need to fix it. That's defense. If you defend a city like Handan. Jia Xu said.
"You know. Having lost the city walls, we simply don't know how to solve such a thing. Defense, the problem is still very big. Jia Xu said.
"Hmm. This kind of thing is really tricky. Do they have any special ideas? Shang Wu asked Jia Xu.
"Not yet. The possibility of street fighting in the city that you raised, it doesn't seem quite appropriate there, you know, most of the buildings in the city are made of wood, and a single fire can solve the problem, provide us with cover, and flexible tactics, seems unlikely. Jia Xu said.
"Hmm." Shang Wu nodded, Shang Wu ignored a big problem, that is, although urban street fighting can be extremely attritional. Procrastination. But the problem is that Handan is still an old city, and it has not yet undergone a near-modern transformation. In other words, it was a city in the ancient sense, not a city, and the backwardness of urban facilities led to the inability of factories to develop.
"But there is good news from Wang Ming's side. This news is still very good for us, Wang Ming provided some news. The palace is willing to provide more and more investment opportunities, and in this way, our situation will become favorable. They will invest in military factories in Handan for production, so that the financial matter can be regarded as relieving a lot of pressure. Jia Xu said.
"Hmm. This is indeed good news. Shang Wu said.
"So, the next step is to give them a certain amount of factory space. We build more factories, such as cement, glass factories. There is also processing such as food and garment. Attract more people to build factories here. The land, we gave it to them for free, but their factory had to be built with cement. Heard about the construction of the road. We also give a large degree of tax exemption. Shang Wu said.
In this case, Wang Ming should be worried. You're going to kill him. Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Huh. There's no way around it. Shang Wu said.
West River, White Wave Valley.
"Big brother. Eldest brother. Yang Feng, Li Le, Hu Cai and others waited excitedly for their eldest brother.
"It's all here. Good. Well, with your support, things will turn around. Mrs. Guo said with a smile.
"Big brother, what are these big boxes you brought?" Hu Cai asked curiously.
"I said Hu Cai, why are you so confused. The eldest brother came from Jizhou, can't he give you a gift? Yang Feng said unhappily.
"Me. I'm just curious to see, what the hell this baby is. I, I don't say anything? Hu Cai said unhappily.
"Alright. Stop it. I'm looking for you. There are good things to discuss. Come and see. Saying that, Mrs. Guo took everyone's hands and came to the side of the box.
"It's a musket. Do you know the Red Turbans? Mrs. Guo said with a smile.
"What. Muskets, this. This weapon, too, is not good-looking. And it's a hollow iron pipe, this, what can this do? Hu Cai picked it up and looked at it. Information blockage, for the big war in Jizhou, they know, but let them know the musket, and the specific role of the musket in the war. None of them knew it yet, after all, the musket was a new thing to this era, and to him, this new thing was almost like a toy.
"Red Turbans, I know. Whether it was to defeat the New Army of Xiyuan, the troops of the Northern Army, it has spread on our side. Fuck. It's amazing. Li Le patted his thigh excitedly and said.
"Not really. I've heard about it too. Eldest brother. Are we going to do the same thing as the Red Turban Army? We also have a lot of brothers around us. Yang Feng said.
"Well, it looks like you know quite a bit." Mrs. Guo said with a smile.
"That's big brother, and we're people who care about these things. This Red Turban Army. It's amazing. I wonder how they did it? Before, I hadn't heard of it. Hu Cai asked. He was not interested in muskets. After looking at it, I felt that this weapon was not very heavy. And it's short, and it's not good to hold. He felt that such a weapon was a burden.
"That's what people rely on. Win the battle of the officers and the army. Mrs. Guo said with a smile.
"What? This thing can defeat the official army, big brother, don't lie to me. It's not going to work. It's just thrown away. I think. It's only scrap metal. Hu Cai kicked the box and said.
"It was these muskets that defeated the officers. These muskets are still what I asked for from the Red Turban Army. Mrs. Guo said.
"This. This defeated the official army? The crowd asked, puzzled.
"Yes. Defeated the officers and soldiers, and there are bigger guys. It weighs more than 1,000 catties. It's too big, and there aren't many Red Turban Army, they won't give it to us. They gave us some muskets. Wait and see, let's see how powerful the muskets of the Red Turbans are. As he spoke, Mrs. Guo picked up a musket and began to load ammunition and aim. His target was the iron piece of his armor. This kind of armor is very sophisticated for them.
"Bang." After a musket rang out, the gun hit the armor in one fell swoop. Everyone stepped forward one after another, and the sound was quite scary. And when I was shooting, I saw fire. And maybe that's where the musket comes from.
"This. Pierced. Yang Feng exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my God. This thing is really that powerful, I thought it was. Talking and playing. Hu Cai stupidly looked at the pierced armor and said this.
"I didn't lie to you. The Red Turban Army relied on such weapons to defeat the official army. Mrs. Guo said.
"Big brother, this is really the case. Want me to say. This, this is really a treasure. Hu Cai said excitedly. The armor of the officers and soldiers is a difficult weapon for them to deal with. The Yellow Turbans were very poorly equipped. A hundred men did not have a single piece of armor. This thing is very expensive. Ordinary people simply can't equip it. In the face of the attack of the officers and troops. The advantage of the Yellow Turban Army is not very large, but it is mainly concentrated in numbers. Of course. If they innovate tactically, they will have a big advantage.
"No, if it weren't for this thing, I would have given you such a little bit, and I gave you too much. This is absolutely impossible. Mrs. Guo said.
"Big brother. This thing is so good. How much did it bring? Yang Feng asked after seeing the power of firearms.
"Not much. They gave me less than fifty. Mrs. Guo said. This was sent by the Red Turban Army later, otherwise, he would only have fifteen muskets to carry out such a thing. But the problem is that their ammunition replenishment is also a big problem. This is what worries Mrs. Guo the most.
"This. Too little. Hu Cai said with a two-bar musket. Now he is in love with muskets, he likes such weapons very much, and only a general like him can completely pick up such weapons and equipment. Or rather, wield his weapon to knock out the opponent's armor defenses. For ordinary soldiers, their equipment is still too backward. Now suddenly there is a weapon like a musket, which can easily knock off the opponent's armor. They naturally liked it.
"Yes. Too little. It would be nice to have more. Yang Fang said.
"I want to, too. But there is no way. You know. The Red Turban Army is not very rich, but we have to sum it up this time. Bring people together. Let's take the lead with firearms. Open up a big picture. Mrs. Guo said.
"Hmm. Fuck it. Hu Cai said excitedly.
"Big brother makes sense, let's have a fight with them." Yang Feng said one after another. Now that they have such weapons, they are naturally not afraid of the situation of the officers and soldiers.
Jingshi, Luoyang. Zhang Rang's mansion.
"Invest in the construction of an arsenal? Is this possible? Zhang Rang looked at Zuo Feng and asked.
"It's feasible, it's feasible, everything that has been produced in this arsenal has been sent to us. If the new army in West Park doesn't want it, we can sell it to other people. And then just say. That's what the IRA does. Zuo Feng said with a smile.
"Huh. Yes, yes, will do things. Zhang Rang said.
"Where is this factory built?" Zhang Rang asked at this time.
"Handan." Zuo Feng immediately replied.
"What?" Zhang Rang exclaimed in surprise.
"Handan, isn't the city wall there demolished? Where to build the factory? You know Your Majesty. Zhang Rang said anxiously.
"It's demolished. But on the Republican side, they will do everything they can to keep us safe. There are no problems with the construction of the plant. Zuo Feng said with a smile.
"Oh, if you call it, it's all gone." Zhang Rang said anxiously.
"Chang Shi, the only way to do it now is this." Zuo Feng said.
"Oops. Headache. This thing. Zhang Rang touched his head and said.
"Waiter. This matter, in fact, is very simple. As long as "Your Majesty does not have the idea of the Red Turban Army, it will be fine." It's okay to fight without fighting. We can be a part of it. Then pull out. Zuo Feng suggested that he go to Ao.
"Can you still do this?" Zhang Rang asked.
"You can really do that. And you can get even more benefits. I heard that there are still some stocks over there. As long as the stock is purchased. It's the shareholders. With a certain status of shareholder, it is possible to produce arms. And then you can solve a whole bunch of other things. Zuo Feng said.
"It doesn't sound like it's coming out yet." Zhang Rang thought about it.
"That thing can be disguised in time. As long as there is something to buy, we can sell it. Zuo Feng said.
