The use of gunpowder originated from the Dinghai Navy, gunpowder has been discovered in the Northern Song Dynasty, in the Ordnance Division, there are many uses of gunpowder, but the power is not great, whether it is gunpowder arrows, or gunpowder doped with poison, these do not directly point to the core of gunpowder.

The power of gunpowder alone is enough, so why add poison and other things, and the navy has increased the power of gunpowder on the basis of gunpowder in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Northern Song Dynasty gunpowder, I'm afraid not even a salute flowers, a large number of together, may not be able to hear much noise, but after the modification of the Ding Navy, the power of this gunpowder began to be huge, showing a huge power, when countless gunpowder gathered together, can blow up the city wall, this is also the most basic application of gunpowder, but also the Northern Song Dynasty to kill the Quartet.

In this battle to destroy Liao, it was not used at all, but instead it was artillery, and there were some long-range attack weapons, mainly muskets, the former was in the description, some were described, but the latter was used in street fighting, and it was not seen clearly.

Zhao Xin's description of gunpowder and muskets is very detailed, but it mainly introduces their appearance and power, as for the function, it is only briefly mentioned, it is a special power, a metal weapon that pushes.

The gunpowder of the Northern Song Dynasty, under the command of the Dinghai Navy, was already quite strong, basically, it had reached the perfect black powder, and such a level of gunpowder, in fact, could already start to make muskets.

Hundreds of years later, the muskets of the Ming Dynasty were not perfect black powder, but in the process of continuous improvement, some powerful gunpowder was improved, so that muskets could be made and the Mongolian cavalry was defeated.

In the future, with the improvement of technology, some backward weapons will definitely be provided to the Northern Song Dynasty, but not now.

After reading it, Han Qi had some understanding of artillery and muskets, but he was even more confused, what was that mysterious power.

Putting the letter down, Han Qi faced Xue Yu, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Why, the Dinghai Navy will develop so fast!" ”

"Han Xiang, it's all on it, it's in front, you didn't look carefully!" Xue Yu hurriedly said, it was not that he was unwilling to tell Han Qi, it was because he, as a senior member of the Ding Navy, knew very well about some secrets of the Ding Navy.

But because of the depth, he didn't know what to say to Han Qi and what not to say, in case he missed something, or accidentally said it, it would be very troublesome for him.

Han Qi was shocked in his heart, before, the previous part, because it was not the focus of his view, he just looked at it briefly, and even looked directly at it in order to find those two weapons, of course he would miss some things, but he didn't expect that it was the most important thing.

He took a deep breath, what was wrong now, why did he make such the simplest mistake, unstable.

Calm down Han Qi, sit down again, start from the beginning, and read the letter given by Zhao Xin.

The letter given by Zhao Xin has a strong style of Dingjun, in short, there is something, during this time, the Northern Song Dynasty also tried to make similar changes in official documents, but this change is not complete, and the habits over the years are not so easy to improve.

First of all, Zhao Xin introduced the entire process of attacking the Liao State in front of the letter, the 600,000 troops in the north and the 300,000 troops in the south, the purpose and time were written very clearly, Han Qi could even see the attack footsteps of the Ding Navy in it, and the horizontal sword was immediately swordsmanlike, so that the invincible Liao State was completely terminated in 20 days.

However, another question put on Han Qi's mind, why is it the north, 600,000 troops were put in the north, how did they get there, did they rely on transportation.

When attacking Youyun, the Ding Navy also sent the support of the transport fleet, to a certain extent, this support made it much easier for the Northern Song Dynasty to recover Youyun, and the army of the Liao State was transferred until they occupied most of Youyun, and then turned back, which gave them a huge opportunity.

However, a few thousand people, and hundreds of thousands of people, are completely two conceptual things, hundreds of thousands of people, I am afraid that it will not take months to transport, and the distance is even longer.

Continue to look down, below, there is an answer, Zhao Xin in his heart, simply told the development of the Dinghai Navy, in the middle, there are only more than 2 pages in total, but the talk is very exhaustive, with a few simple paragraphs, plus some accurate figures, just like a picture scroll, the development of the Dinghai Navy over the years is simply described.

In the first year, how much population, how much output value, what was built, and what results were obtained, it was simple, just a definite data, but it represented the step-by-step development of the Dinghai Navy.

For example, the gross domestic product, this point, in the first year, Dingjun has achieved an income of 80 million guan, which is the income is not the total value, and the total value in the first year has exceeded 300 million.

In the second year, it doubled several times, reaching more than 250 million, these are just simple data, but they are like a mountain on Han Qi's body, Han Qi thinks that the strength is to improve the financial situation of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, so that the finances of the Northern Song Dynasty, from about 20 million, gradually increased to the current hundreds of millions, but compared with the Ding Navy, it is nothing.

By last year, Dinghai even achieved a net income of 800 million yuan, and the output value of various products exceeded 4 billion, which was much higher than that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Money can't solve all problems, but it can solve most of them, no wonder the Dinghai Navy is always so generous to the Northern Song Dynasty, it turns out that this is only an insignificant part of them.

Seeing this, Han Qi was once again jealous of the power of the Dinghai Navy, such a huge economy, such a huge population, there is no problem at all to arm the entire Dinghai Navy.

Later, the expansion territory of the Dinghai Navy was not written into it at that time, and the Ryukyus are good to say, in history, even in the south, there are similar records, but Jeju Island, Hokkaido, how to say it, the territory thousands of miles away from the Dinghai Navy, not to mention the difficulty of taking it down, how to control it.

With these simple descriptions, Han Qi has a preliminary feeling about the strength of the Dinghai Navy, this is an economy with huge financial resources and extremely strong productivity, not to mention anything else, the steel output of a Daimyo Mansion before has already moved Han Qi, and now the Dinghai Navy, ten times the output of the Daimyo Mansion, it is no wonder that it is so powerful.

Regarding the relationship between the troops sent to the north, Zhao Xin also mentioned in the letter, and the statement was very clear, as early as the year before last, it had already begun, when hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people were mobilized to enter the north, land in the far north, and then sweep the nomads in the north, take root, establish a base, and it took more than a year to stabilize, and then the war to destroy Liao began.

Han Qi was surprised to find that the Ding Navy had been premeditated, not because the navy appeared in Guangzhou, so he chose to destroy Liao, but before that, a decision was made, and the warship's trip to Guangzhou to rescue was just a gesture.

When, in a place he didn't pay attention to, Ding Haijun had developed into such a terrifying situation now, and Han Qi even had a sense of powerlessness.

Although the Liao State is not very good, it is also the biggest enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it is Han Qi, he has set a timetable for the destruction of the Liao State in his heart, but this timetable is not achieved overnight, it will take at least a few decades, and in a few decades, the Liao State that is likely to perish, in such a short period of time, was destroyed by the Ding Navy, how powerful the Ding Navy is, and now Zhao Xin has become the master of the Liao State, in the future, how will it treat the Northern Song Dynasty, if it is hostile, then where should the Northern Song Dynasty go.

Faintly, the current Dinghai Sea gives Han Qi the feeling that it is very powerful, and even if he destroys the Northern Song Dynasty, there will be no problem, what should I do when that time comes.

This letter is to relieve Han Qi, as long as he sends this letter to Renzong, the father and son, they can say whatever they want, compared to outsiders, but it is much stronger, saving him from thinking and analyzing. The latter letter, which was an invitation letter, was sent directly to Han Qi, inviting him to a place to watch a military exercise ten days later.

This was all kinds of frightening for Han Qi, and he was also very curious about what happened to the military strength of the Dinghai Navy.

Hearing Han Qi's positive reply, Xue Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and came to Youyun's side, the biggest goal had been achieved, and after repeatedly confirming the time with Han Qi, Xue Yu said goodbye.

For Xue Yu, Han Qi did not stop him, in his heart, there were still many questions about the matter of the Dinghai Navy's destruction of Liao, but these questions would only be answered when he saw Zhao Xin and that exercise, and before that, if he asked Xue Yu, Xue Yu would not tell him.

asked Xue Yu to send him away, and then he was thinking about the upward report, Han Qi was very bland, and explained all this on a case-by-case basis, mainly the report he received before, and then put his own recital, together with Zhao Xin's handwritten letter, in his special box, stamped the letter, and sent it to the transmission system.

Almost watching this box leave his sight, from here to Tokyo, there is a distance of more than 1,000 miles, with the current traffic situation, it will take at least a day to pass it in the fastest way, he knows very well that this letter is definitely like a big bomb, once it arrives in Bianliang, it will blow people up, but this is also the process that the Northern Song Dynasty must go through.

At this point, it is inappropriate to say anything, but Han Qi is even more curious, what is it that has made Zhao Xin credit for 5 years, and made a border military state become the object of the Northern Song Dynasty's sideways, is it possible that this is born to know, and the gods teach each other, is it really exist?

The development of Ding Haijun is not fast, it is really like a flying arrow, and it is moving forward like a bamboo, one step a year, although in the later period, the growth rate has slowed down, but last year compared with the year before, it still increased by more than 70%, which is the growth of the total amount of more than 100 million.

It is expected that the revenue in the next few years will be further slowed down, to 60%, but the net income will increase, increasing by more than 200 million.

With an annual income of 100 million guan, Han Qi doesn't know how to do it, hundreds of millions of guan, he is confused, but in Dingjun, more money is not a problem, the investment is greater, and the projects invested are all places where high profits can be obtained, which is what Han Qi can't understand the most.

The transmission system relies on the railway, along with the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of railways through, the distance is constantly shortening, from Bianliang to Youyun, that is, more than 1,000 kilometers, fast letters, at most 2 days, can reach Bianliang,.

Han Qi's channels are much higher than others, he sent the music to the past in advance, and later, he also mobilized some channels to send some family leaders to Bianliang.

This matter is too big, before, because of the large number of people collected by the Dinghai Navy, by now, there are tens of millions of people, this is doubtful, but Zhao Xin's practice all along, there is no such tendency, and there is not even an obvious expansion of the army.

This attitude, to a certain extent, confused Renzong and Han Qi, they both thought that Zhao Xin just needed so many people to do business, but they didn't expect that there was no expansion of the army, the army had been expanded by millions, and even the Liao State had been destroyed, this force could no longer be said to be strong, it was so strong that there was no boundary.

Even if he took back Youyun, in Han Qi's heart, although the idea of attacking the Liao State and unifying the original Chinese region arose, in the end, he still did not move.

Although the Liao State said that it had declined, the 400,000 heavy cavalry army could still be taken out, really, the Liao State was in a hurry, and the use of the Western Xia move, even if the Northern Song Dynasty greatly increased its defense power because of the appearance of the fortress, it did not dare to say that it was not damaged at all.

In this case, continue to accumulate strength, wait for the moment when the strength is exceeded, and then the time to start, this time, for the Northern Song Dynasty, will not be very long, about 10 years is almost.

But I didn't expect that the Northern Song Dynasty was optimistic about destroying Liao, and the Dinghai Navy was also optimistic, seizing this opportunity to destroy the Liao State all of a sudden, and it was so fast.

The Dinghai Navy replaced the Liao State and became the object of the Northern Song Dynasty, which had a more powerful military force than the Liao State, and at the same time, there was no problem with the money, the income of the Dinghai Navy alone exceeded hundreds of millions, such a huge financial resource, how many troops could be used, how much power could be mobilized, and when this force became the neighbor of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Northern Song Dynasty was treated as an equal, how should the Northern Song Dynasty choose.

A series of questions, in Han Qi's heart, kept lingering, Han Qi actually had insomnia, and he didn't sleep for a long time, and with the loss of time, this thing that was destined to break the earth was on the railway line, moving forward rapidly, and the goal was Bianliang.
