In short, the current situation is not a small good situation for Pingliang, but a great one. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Yun family is constantly squeezing resources in various vassal states, and when there is money, there are naturally people. In the past, Pingliang, a place where birds don't, would be settled by ghosts. Now, it has become fashionable to go out to Pingliang. And Yunhou doesn't pick it up, as long as people come to the house, they will divide the land. What ration field Yongye field, anyway, there are many kinds of renovation projects. If each family is not divided into ten or twenty acres, they are embarrassed to go out to greet people.

However, Pingliang is indeed not very suitable for farming. Despite the corn and potatoes, there was still only enough food to produce. There is no way, this place can only be planted once a year. And there are often droughts or something, except for potatoes and corn, wheat does not grow at all.

Most of them entered the factories in Pingliang, but because of the strict censorship system. No one could enter the factory in Jiguanshan, which was a no-go area for Chinese workers. Only the Qiang and Yueshi people could find a job there. As for the gunpowder workshop, it is even more important. Those who entered there were Qiang people who vowed never to go out again for the rest of their lives.

As compensation, his family can obtain a Pingliang household registration. No longer a slave, the child can go to school. If someone in the family is in business, they can also be exempted from taxes for three years. This is something that people can't get on the battlefield and work hard for five years. If you have a girl in your family, you can also go to nursing school. When I graduate in the future, it's a good job with a salary. Even the Huaxia people broke their heads and squeezed inside.

For the sake of the future of their families, many Qiang men gritted their teeth and signed contracts. glanced at his family, and then plunged headlong into the cockscomb mountain. In this life, I can't get out again. Pingliang is such a place, as long as you are willing to pay the price, you can get the corresponding reward. This is true of the nobles, and so is the common people. Even the most humble Yueshi slaves, as long as they have made their due contributions. You will also be rewarded!

With the continuous influx of population and resources, Yunjia's factory also began to expand on a large scale. Now along the shelterbelt, a row of factories has been built. All of them are heavily polluting enterprises such as coking and steelmaking, and the adjacent desert is covered with a layer of black ash. The sewage discharged is directly discharged into the desert. The sand layer has a filtration function, and the impurities in the water will automatically flow on the sand layer. Groundwater, on the other hand, has become a source of water for attacking coking and steelmaking. Repeat the cycle!

Strange to say, the wastewater from coking steelmaking leaves a thick layer of sediment on top of the sand. It didn't take long for grass to grow on the sediment. Now, a large meadow has grown. Although it is only a drought-tolerant sand date, it also plays a role in fixing the desert. Every time the desert takes a step back, someone plants trees to make the green space a step forward. The shelterbelts surrounding the desert have taken shape. Even the strong winds from the north can no longer go on a rampage.

The direct benefit of greening is that the sandstorms in Pingliang City have been reduced a lot, and there used to be sandstorms all year round. Now, only in the spring when there are strong winds, sandstorms will patronize Pingliang. Li Si optimistically estimates that as long as there is another ten years, maybe there will be no sandstorms in Pingliang. Thinking of the day when the green mountains and green waters were peaceful, Li Si's face was rippling with a smile. The original decision was right, to follow such a master who could even subdue the desert. I'm afraid that I can't make a contribution, as long as it takes another ten years. The population of Pingliang will grow to millions of people, and by that time, with excellent equipment. Maybe even the millions of Qin troops can't help it.

The only bad news for Yun Yue is that Wei Fang's health is getting worse and worse, and he is already in his seventies. I no longer have so much energy to manage the more and more sophisticated Yun family's army. The old man has resigned several times, but Yun Yue really can't find a candidate who can replace Wei Fang. The matter was delayed like this, but fortunately, the senior generals of the Yun family were very capable. Especially Ao Canghai, Zhang Han has been in the prime of life for so many years, they can already control the army very well, and they have faintly become the backbone of the army. The old Wei Fang, except for some things, is not too worried.

The direct consequence of the development of industry is that Pingliang's economy has once again experienced explosive growth. Batch after batch of industrial products have continuously entered Guanzhong, and even exported to six countries in Shandong. They are all consumable industrial products, and the six countries of Shandong need huge quantities every year. To do this, they have also put in more resources.

The explosive growth of the economy has brought about another increase in military products. Jiguanshan kept testing the ratio of various gunpowders all day long, and Yun Yue didn't expect Yu Lao and Master Geng to research nitroglycerin. But their research results still made Yun Yue eat it, and these guys creatively added soybean oil to the oil to improve the stickiness of the oil.

Thanks to the arid climate, the oil yield of soybeans is very high. After the oil is mixed in a certain proportion, it not only burns more durably. It can even attach to the armor and burn, and even if it can't flow through the cracks in the armor, it can cause great damage to the people inside. Looking at the burning armor on the target, Yun Yue suddenly remembered the teppanyaki.

No one can survive that kind of fire, and the first generation of old ****** can retire with honor. Last year, it was something that had a longer shelf life and was more powerful.

The fisherman also imaginatively mixed oil and gunpowder together, a large pottery urn half a man high, and a small urn filled with gunpowder was covered. The large urn is filled with oil, and the small urn will burst when it is fried.

Yun Yue had observed the power of that thing, which was similar to the cloud burst bombs of later generations. The burning was so fierce that no one could survive the heat that could melt even sand.

However, this thing is too bulky and can only be thrown by a lever trebuchet. And the distance is amazing, only two hundred steps away, Yun Yue is very worried that this thing will hurt her own people if she doesn't get it right. If, in wartime, such a thing explodes behind you, it is strange that the army does not collapse.

What satisfies Yun Yue the most is that after several years of huge investment. The Beast Garden has finally been produced, and the rhinoceros is easy to train. Just tie them together with bronze chains and let them charge in one place.

The formation of the war elephant army made Yun Yue overjoyed. Miao Long and Miao Yan have now domesticated more than 200 elephants, all of which are equipped with improved small ballistas. Fires flowering shells filled with gunpowder, capable of striking targets at a distance of 600 paces. At close range, the elephant's iron-clad nose and thighs would be a nightmare for all cavalrymen.

What made Yun Yue even happier was that the two brothers actually succeeded in artificially breeding elephants. Elephants have a long lifespan, and Yun Yue no longer has to worry about the origin of elephants.

Not only elephants have been successfully artificially bred, but even takins have also been successfully artificially bred. Pingliang has now basically abandoned horse-drawn carts and ox carts, and replaced them with takin carts. It has the capacity of four four-wheeled carriages, but only two takins need to pull it. The distance traveled each day is slightly inferior to that of a horse-drawn cart and far exceeds that of an ox-cart. It is an indispensable means of transportation for home travel.

Chu Dayong welcomed this kind of carriage the most, because it was this kind of carriage that his hoplites cared. After continuous improvement, the armor of the hoplite battalion was further improved. Now the Qin crossbow cannot shoot through the armor of the heavy infantry at any distance. Armed with Damascus steel knives and dressed in Yun's heavy armor, these guys became the ultimate killing machines in foot combat. However, due to the strict physical requirements, only the fiercest guys can become members of the hoplite battalion. So for five years, the hoplites were expanded by only one division. The total number is only about 10,000 people, which is the elite of the elite. Regardless of whether they encounter infantry or cavalry, they are invincible with the cooperation of ordinary infantry.

Of course, being undefeated is also relative, if he encounters the takin cavalry under Zhang Han. That's just a natural misfortune!

The takin cavalry chooses male takins who are about three meters tall and are all over two years old. At this time, the takin is not only fierce, but also at the peak of its physical strength. These takins not only have more than 30 catties of heavy armor on their bodies, but even takin also have heavy armor. In order to protect the eyes of the takin, high-purity crystals are specially used in the eye area. This is, so to speak, a tank with an all-metal shell.

Like the heavy infantry, the takin cavalry could also protect against the Qin crossbow fire at any distance. Because of the strong body of the takin, the hoplites could carry more weapons. Moreover, you can also wear armor when marching, which is many times better than the first generation of heavy cavalry who used war horses. After all, the physical strength of a war horse is limited. At that time, the armor was heavy, and it was impossible to ride it for a long time. If you ride for too long, not only will the horse be unbearable, but even the human will be overwhelmed by the armor.

However, because the takin cavalry was very strict with the takin, it only formed two divisions, with a total of only about 5,000 people. However, this kind of heavy cavalry charge, not everyone can resist. Even the cavalry formation of the Yun family infantry could not withstand the impact of the takin cavalry.

Of course, both of these units belong to special forces. What really stood up the backbone of the Yun family's army were tens of thousands of ordinary infantry and cavalry.

The Yun family infantry rode in takin carts, and each vehicle could fit an infantry squad. It includes crossbowmen and archers. The training of archers is time-consuming, so only one is assigned to each class. However, the high rate of fire somewhat made up for the lack of archers.

After occupying the Western Regions, all the cavalry of the Yun family switched to the faster and more endurance Western Regions war horses. Moreover, it also guarantees the tradition of the Yun family. Each had two war horses, and these ordinary cavalrymen in addition to riding spears. Everyone is armed with a Damascus scimitar, which is not only sharp, but also has a rounded design that can inflict more serious damage on the enemy during the charge.

Of course, the traditional advantage cavalry compound bow with eccentric wheels is also a must-have for everyone. In addition to this, Yun Yue also equipped each cavalryman with a crossbow.

After the hand crossbow has been improved, the effective range can effectively shoot through the ordinary infantry armor produced by the Yun family at a distance of 100 paces. As for the leather armor equipped by the Shandong princes or the Qin army, that is even more of a problem. In Charge, the Hand Crossbow will be the first strike weapon. And then the riding spear, the saber.

In short, after five years of unremitting efforts. Yun Yue already has a regular army of up to 80,000 people, and he is the strongest in the Warring States in terms of equipment and training. The current Pingliang Army, even in the face of a million Qin troops, has the power to fight. It's just that when it comes to war potential, it is natural to lose to the Qin army, which has a large land and a large population.

ps: In the third year of Chongzhen, Houjin entered the customs for the first time in a big way, tearing off the last fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty; At the same time, the peasants in northern Shaanxi revolted, and Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng rose successively, opening the prelude to the demise of this dynasty. Internal and external troubles, the rulers are in a state of disarray, barbarism is about to defeat civilization, and darkness is about to envelop the land of China for hundreds of years.

Xia Nan happened to travel to this troubled time, and he was unwilling to sink with the Doomsday Dynasty and tried to change all this.

Build guns, cast cannons, build sail warships...... From scratch, from weak to strong, a strong army came out of a remote island, which made the world look sideways and the opponent frightened.

Promote the Chinese civilization and re-establish itself on the top of the world, can he?
