"These are all damaged by the pirates when they were fighting, and our people seized the opportunity to pick them up, to see why they fought so fast."

"Then give it a try."

After a burst of smoke, Rao was also dumbfounded, compared with the soldiers who were clumsy enough to reload ammunition and the soldiers who were skilled in operating bird guns, the former fired three shots, and the latter could only fire one shot? If the former is more proficient...... Moreover, the flints will not ignite each other, and you can put them in a dense formation without worrying about the fire ropes on your body igniting each other.

After such a storm and being beaten, which soldier's soldiers can stand it? This is not a war, this is a one-sided slaughter!

Even though he knew that this was a "non-war crime", Ao Bai still jumped to his feet angrily: I said that it was based on mounted shooting, but this shooting included carbine shooting, and at the same time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also attached great importance to the use of firearms---- as a result, firearm technology was overtaken? Angry at the mess that day, Ao Bai raised his voice, crossed his hands on his waist and asked, "How many of these self-generated fire guns can be produced in a month?" ”

"If there is enough iron and manpower, we can have 600 to 800 pieces a month," said the craftsman with trepidation. The implication is that there are not enough manpower and iron materials now.

Ao Bai thought in his heart that if he launched another campaign, prepared food and grass, drew up a plan, and replenished the time to replenish the troops, he would also replenish 2,000 self-made firearms, and the southerners would have more iron and materials, and they would definitely be able to make more, and he still couldn't bargain.

After thinking about it, Ao Bai asked the craftsman to draw the drawings of the self-made firecracker, and sent a competent rider and the sample flintlock pistol to Beijing, asking Beijing to quickly start copying--- which is the only large-scale handicraft city in the north that can be counted on! In this way, with the cooperation of this new firebolt... The Eight Banners of Manchuria will be able to mobilize more and stronger troops, for example, equipping people who are not very good at drawing bows with a few more carbines or something... Another example is equipping elite troops with better self-generated firearms... The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which owned most of the country, had enough manpower and material resources to scale up the technological advantage.

It is not only Aobai who understands this, but also Zhu Youlang, who "lives in the southwest of China"; But as a liberal arts student, Zhu Youlang decided to find another way.

Weiyuan Yuyizhou.

As a transitional zone between the Yunnan and Burmese political envoys, it is one of the many local official areas in Yunnan and Burma. In these areas, the imperial court could not rule them directly. If Liu Jing hadn't been unlucky enough to cross to Mopan Mountain when she crossed over, the problem of Southwest Tusi was just a minor problem. But who allowed himself to have only two provinces? Kunming and other four prefectures are the traditional sphere of influence of the liuguan stationed at this time, and the Irrawaddy River is the zone where Zhu Youlang engaged in commercialization and planted the seeds ---of industrialization.

As a result, a group of people of all colors - people who know how to read and write, and who have a skill; The dismissed boys, the children who thought they needed to be honed for a while, were crammed into one team after another to drill into the mountains. As long as you are educated, you don't have to do the lowest-paid physical work with the laborers.

Due to the backwardness of the productive forces, the peoples living in the mountains need to exchange many things with the mountains. However, due to the lack of transportation and the general misunderstanding of them by the outside world, they often have to buy what they want at a very high price, and there is even a situation where a sewing needle is exchanged for a chicken. As a result, Zhu Youlang sent one caravan after another, carrying the supplies needed by the locals to rush to one dam after another. Of course, in order to prevent someone from wanting to make a hammer deal and directly grab and kill later, the materials carried are limited. This kind of caravan is called "mobile supply and marketing cooperatives", and if you want to do a hammer deal, don't do it in the future!

(Bandits in this era often work part-time in production, or produce part-time bandits, for no more than one word: poor)

On a rainy afternoon, a "supply and marketing cooperative" led by Ah Qiang rested on the dam. When they see a guest coming, the villagers come out to greet them - the custom of hospitality is actually mostly due to the fact that they rarely see outsiders, so they naturally want to see something new.

As a professional supply and marketing team in charge of this area, Ah Qiang can speak some Dai language and can communicate with the villagers. When they heard that a chicken could be exchanged for a small jar of salt, the whole village boiled, and everyone treated them as VIPs, and they sent their own daughters to them.

Smoke rises from the dam, several chicks are cooked in clay pots to serve guests--- and iron tools are rare.

"Alas, why is this soup so salty?" An old boy almost threw up, but he swallowed it when he thought of the kindness of others.

"It's understandable, they don't usually have much salt to eat, so they naturally think that the more salt the better."

"That's right, I'm the same with dried sweet potatoes, if only they could be as sweet as maltose."

Hearing the two chatting, a villager interjected, "What is that sell-tooth?" ”

There was no dictionary available these days, so Cuong searched the poor vocabulary in his head, so he had to use sugar cane as an analogy, and after a comparison, the villagers nodded to show that they understood the meaning of maltose. After eating a few buckets of bamboo rice, everyone got off the dam and continued on the road in the mountains. The old boy looked around, drew the traces and markers along the way on the paper with charcoal, and made a few marks.

You know, according to the cost and freight, the goods sold to the people under the jurisdiction of Tusi are not only the cost price, but even the loss in some places, the reason why the imperial court is willing to invest so much money is to buy people's hearts, and secondly, to thoroughly touch the road traffic network from Yunnan to Myanmar.

"Wangshan runs a dead horse!"

Walking through the winding valley in the narrow mountain road, watching the dams that seemed to be close at hand to walk past but it took almost a day to go around, the boy in charge of recording in the team sighed.

"If only there was a horse!" Someone muttered.

"If there were really so many goods, it is estimated that we would have been attacked a long time ago, the mountains are not as good as the outside, and a large pot of salt can make people die!"

"Doesn't I just want to ride a horse..."

"What do you think?" Ah Qiang snorted, "A horse eats at least a dozen catties of various grains and grass a day, and drinks thirty catties of water, you have to serve him for a few hours a day, and you will be tired to death if you give it two days!" ”

"There is probably one more day, we will be able to go out and make errands, where we should run, we are done."

"Yes, but today, we have to rush to the next dam, otherwise, if we fall asleep in the valley tonight, we may be hit by miasma tomorrow and won't be able to get up!"

"Miasma?" All the people turned their heads to look at him.
