But. Before providing firearms, Shangwu had to make a series of upgrades to the firearms, such as the lightness of the guns. Maneuverability. Although the weight of the cannon is reduced, the power is reduced. For example, the reduction in caliber was rapidly reduced from the initial four-and-a-half-inch to one-and-a-half-caliber artillery. The power of the artillery is reduced. But increased the mobility of the artillery. Such artillery can only be considered horse artillery. Because the main highlight of artillery is mobility. The consequence of their mobility is that their power is rapidly diminished.

But such artillery is suitable for cavalry operations with strong mobility. The Youzhou region borders the nomadic tribes of the north. It is very suitable for such a battle, such a battle for them. It's not the most worrying thing. Because these guns are suitable for northern warfare, and they are also very suitable for export trade. This is not the most terrible thing for Shang Wu. Because they can raise the shells of their artillery to find another new way to solve the problem.

Luoyang, Beijing. Firefox's hot pot restaurant.

"Hey. This. It's only been a few days. Person. Where did the people go? Firefox entered the store and looked at the hot pot restaurant, where there were not many people. Then he went out and looked again. Although the cold weather is a factor, but because of the cold weather. It's a good opportunity to eat the best hot pot. Can. Available currently. Why is there no one left?

"People. Where did the people go? Firefox asked the shopkeeper he had hired. The shopkeeper is settling accounts.

"Waiter. You degassed. I've got you covered. This is mainly: Food prices have risen. The shopkeeper said.

"What does this rising food price have to do with me, oh. Prices have gone up. People have less money. So, there are fewer people eating? Firefox asked. Didn't think of it. In ancient times, there was also a CPI index. This index, also, is really accurate. Firefox doesn't know the relationship between this CPI and the sharp drop in food prices, but what he does know. Her hot pot restaurant would have closed down if there was no one.

The price of grain in Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, has indeed risen. Because Zhang Rang took away more than half of the grain in Luoyang, the capital division, at once. And that's not all. Because the Republican Bureau massively raised the price of food. Grain from the vicinity of Luoyang, the capital division, was transferred there. In such a situation, food prices naturally rise. The increase was twice as large as during the previous war. This naturally squeezed the purchasing power of the people of Luoyang, the capital division. Under such influence. Restaurants are the first places to be hit because their situation is not the best place.

"Waiter. Actually, there are some things that we need to be aware of as well. The shopkeeper's helpless report arrived.

"What's the matter?" Firefox is still counting on this to make a fortune. Didn't think of it. It's still hard to do in the service industry. In the case of rising prices, opening a restaurant is a big loss. It's for him. Not good news.

"There are also a lot of hot pot restaurants around, and their dishes are almost the same as ours. The price is also cheap. So, they went there. The shopkeeper said.

"What? What are you kidding, who gave them the hot pot bottom, I am an authentic hot pot bottom. There is no such pot bottom, what do they know. There are also fish balls and crab sticks. Lamb rolls. This. I don't know how they stole it. Firefox was annoyed. In ancient times, there was no such thing as intellectual property. Or rather. Stolen. It's stealing. For them, too, there is nothing. Anyway, such things often come up, and they don't care.

"These bastards. They're committing a crime. Crime. Bastards, they deserve to go to jail. Firefox said angrily. There are indeed a large number of hot pot restaurants around, and the hot pot restaurants have attracted the attention of Luoyang people at once. It is indeed good to eat hot pot in the cold winter. It's a very good choice. Not only that, but the hot pot restaurant business has attracted the attention of others all at once. After eating it a few times, they thought the hot pot was simple, even though they didn't know each other's ingredients. But they can be imitated. So there was a missing version of the hot pot. They don't know what a hot pot base is in the true sense of the word. But the taste is pretty much fine. And most importantly, the price. The price positioning of Firefox is still very high. And they only need to reduce the price and eat the legendary hot pot. It's for them. It's also a treat. So all kinds of hot pot restaurants appeared.

"I'm." Firefox scolded. She now hates these hot pot imitation guys, they are stealing. In the true sense of the word, they should be punished very severely. But alas, it seems that they did not suffer so many sanctions.

"Common sense, you'd better be discouraged. I've inquired about all those hot pot restaurants. All have backgrounds. Such a business is easy to make money. This. There is no way. The shopkeeper said.

"I heard that there is also a part of the general's participation. We. Can't afford to mess with. The shopkeeper said. Firefox hears this. Even more angry. But there is no way. The great general He Jin was actually involved in such a thing. This is simply one thing that is difficult for her to accept. Firefox quickly took a few deep breaths. Calm yourself down. There is no way. Such a business can easily be snatched up by these ancient big families. What they're doing is going too far. But Firefox also felt that he had made a mistake. She originally thought that something like that. At the very least, it will take a long, long time to accept. Therefore, the price is naturally higher. But what I didn't expect was. The price went down all of a sudden. Her marketing was also wrong, and she didn't quickly open the market to saturate the market. Something like that, for him. It's the worst thing that ever happens. In such a situation, a lot of things turned him against him. He didn't take the market down quickly. In this way, she has the right to speak. It's a pity that it's useless to regret it now.

Second Regiment Headquarters.

"Sir. What does it mean? The number of our second regiment. Retracted? The little fart asked, crying.

"yes. Sir. What does this mean, our second regiment is not fighting a little harder. But we still have seeds, how can we compress the establishment and become an infantry battalion. This. This was a chill to the brothers. Many people said excitedly. They were all the remnants of the Second Regiment. At its peak, there were more than 3,500 people in the regiment. But now, there is only one reinforced battalion. Many of the barracks were empty. When the company commanders gathered, they were very distressed when they saw people who were not there.

"Brethren. That's an order. That's an order. It's a command. We have to obey it. The acting head of the regiment said. Their regimental commander went to study at the military academy. This is an opportunity, if there is no such opportunity. It's not good to leave in the future.

"Acting Chief. The Commander would not give such an order. This. This must be a good thing done by his mother's division commander. Brothers, let's go to the teacher and ask him. Our second regiment is the main regiment. How can I say no, there will be no more. If the old chief comes back, what face will we have to meet the old chief. Walk. The angry soldiers said.

"Damn it. What do you want to do? Is this a rebellion? Tell you. All for Lao Tzu to come back. Come back. The acting captain shouted. But alas, no one listened to him. It was very embarrassing for him.

"Damn it. Come back. Come back. The acting captain shouted. The soldiers, however, still had to go to the division commander.

"No need to go. I am here. Zhang Qing came over with a few staff officers and shouted loudly.

"Sir." The soldiers looked back and saw their division commander appear. They all gathered around.

"Sir. Our second regiment reduced the number and canceled the number. Is it true? One soldier asked first.

"That's right. Sir. This, this is certainly not true. Isn't it sir? One soldier asked.

"It's true." Zhang Qing replied truthfully. There's no need to hide it. In this case, the soldiers will feel disgusted.

"This. This. Why, sir? It can't be like this. Sir, our second regiment can still be established. I can't undo it. Many people said excitedly.

"yes. Sir. Our second regiment was finally established. Although this time the fight was not good? But the old foundation of our second regiment is still there. Brothers, you say, 'Are you right?' Our old foundation is still there, and the second regiment can't be withdrawn. They all said.

"Brethren, be quiet, be quiet. Listen to me. Zhang Qing waved his arm and said.

"I know. You're not in a good situation. I don't want to see that. But here's the thing. That's all we can do. Zhang Qing said.

"A second regiment, not a strong second division. I know. The combat effectiveness of the 2nd Regiment was very strong. But look at your brothers. How are they fighting? Zhang Qing asked.

"Our Red Turban Army has just been reorganized, with a total of five combat units, four infantry divisions, and one infantry brigade. Our infantry division is compared to other infantry divisions. It's not enough to see. Why. Just because we can come up with only one second regiment. Other regiments. Combat effectiveness could not be formed. It's like five fingers. One finger. You can't break five fingers at all. Zhang Qing said.

The soldiers were silent. They understand that.

"Yes. The number of the second regiment is gone. Can be the spirit of the second regiment, the soul. Still, he became the second division. Only the self-sacrifice of the second regiment. Disrupt such a set-up. in order to bring the entire second division back to life. Zhang Qing said.

"That's the only way. Our second division. in order to become a second division. The strongest infantry division. Zhang Qing said.

"Sir. Us. We get it. The soldiers said.
