Chapter 1776: The End of an Era (I)
I have to say that the unique firing method of the new artillery has given all the old men, including Lao Li, an unimaginable 'shock', looking at the sledgehammer that swings like iron, everyone has an urge to kill.
Li Chengqian did not have any way to deal with this, after all, he was studying chemistry rather than weapons design, and he was not clear at all about the specific details of artillery, so naturally it was impossible to design the kind of artillery that could be fired at the press of a button or a pull of a rope.
But fortunately, the power of the artillery was not bad, and after a loud bang, looking at the smoke rising from the mountains in the distance, a group of old guys once again shifted the topic to other places, and did not delve into the problem of sledgehammers smashing shells.
And unexpectedly, the high imitation of 98K was well received by the bigwigs, and finally under the leadership of His Majesty Li Er, a few old guys went into battle in person, and "Ping Pong" had a lot of fun, until the shoulder was hit by the butt of the gun and was a little sore.
In this regard, Li Chengqian just wants to sum it up in one sentence: This is really a happy day!
……
After the weapon test is completed, the next step is naturally to change clothes.
The old equipment in the past was all replaced, and the forbidden army in the palace was all replaced with the legendary 98K, and Li Chengqian, who watched it, would mistake the jet lag from time to time and think that he had crossed into the Republic of China again.
No way, it's too similar, looking at those big-headed soldiers wearing 42-style camouflage uniforms, wearing German-style steel helmets, and patrolling back and forth with 98K on their backs, it really makes people think of the legendary era.
……
Outside the palace, if you are careful, you will find many things that are very different from before.
First of all, the industrialization process has been greatly accelerated, and countless new machines have been invested, making Chang'an City, which was originally dominated by agriculture, almost an industrial empire.
A large number of machines have been put into the market, making production large-scale and clustered.
The small workshops of the past are all gone, replaced by large factories.
What spinning mills, weaving mills, bicycle factories...... And so on and so forth.
And the streets are no longer full of horse-drawn carts and ox carts, but tricycles and bicycles.
Every morning, you can see an army of bicycles surging out from the city gates on the east, west and south sides, and you can see the army of bicycles surging back at night, Jane is a great wonder of Chang'an City.
……
With the changes in Chang'an, some surrounding cities are also changing, chimneys are rising from the ground, and factories are creating a lot of wealth for their owners in the roar of machines.
The construction speed of the railway is getting faster and faster, and the railway to the east has radiated to the northeast, Shandong, and Jiangchuan, and the railway to the west has also run through the entire Western Regions into Tianzhu, which has just been conquered.
The huge Western Regions army began to withdraw little by little, leaving some people to continue to defend the newly conquered country, and hired a group of Tianzhu soldiers to garrison various places.
These Tianzhu people are actually very easy to control, they don't care who rules them at all, as long as someone collects taxes, they will pay, as long as they can live, they will not resist, some are so normal.
The Great Cannibal once launched a tentative attack on the border, but a cannonball smashed down, and the 5,000 cavalry were wiped out.
……
The railway of Mobei is an extension of the eastern section of the railway, Zhenguan 14 years before the construction began, but because of the geographical environment, the construction speed of the railway is very fast, two years has run through the entire Mobei, from the foot of Yin Mountain to Yudu Jin Mountain.
With this railway, the Mobei alien race was finally honest, and the day the railway was opened, they realized what a stupid thing they had done.
If there was no railway, it would take at least half a month for the Tang army to reach Mobei, but now, it only takes three days to deploy all the troops in place.
This means that if they want to rebel again, it is estimated that before they have recruited all the manpower, Datang will already be overwhelmed.
……
The environment in the Northeast is more complicated, and a large number of wealthy families are crowded there, fighting for their own interests every day.
However, the land in the Northeast is only a little bit, although the land is fertile enough and produces a lot of things, but the influence of the family has begun to weaken in the Central Plains, and it is only influential in the Northeast that has no use.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian has been vigorously supporting the Northeast, and the economy and policies are a little tilted, which made the family not jump up and do things again.
In addition, there is the industrial base of the Northeast, which is rich in products, not only various mineral resources, but also countless fishery and animal husbandry resources.
In addition to iron ore, copper ore, coal mine, gold ore, as well as a large amount of oil, as well as some non-metallic minerals, these are all things that can be used now or in the future, and Li Chengqian will naturally not let them go.
So even if the Great Northeast can only develop iron, copper and coal at the moment, he still occupies this land and controls it in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
The role of Qinling is to govern the land in the northeast, that is, the north of Shencheng, until the place named Vladivostok.
……
Wa Guo, Hou Junji and others had no interest in this country that had been crippled, so they chose a few places with better locations to set up camps, leaving more than 1,000 people everywhere to guard, and the others all withdrew to the territory of Datang.
Li You returned to Datang after many years, and the first thing he did when he went ashore was to ask for a big bowl of noodles, and he just dried it into his stomach without anything.
The place in the country is not for people to stay, and if he stays any longer, Li You thinks that he will definitely be the first prince of the Tang Dynasty to be starved to death.
And those Japanese or naturalized people also began to make small calculations after the withdrawal of the Tang army's large troops, thinking that their current strength should be enough, plus a batch of equipment left behind after the Tang army left, it was enough to kill the remaining five or six thousand Tang troops in the country, and then .......
Then there was no more, when they saw the huge steel ship on the seashore, when they saw that the huge warship was actually bombarded by a cannon on the distant sea, and knocked out their handsome flags, everyone was intimidated, and there was no longer any idea of resisting, and the weapon in his hand was thrown away, and he knelt on the ground with a hula.
In the same month, the output of silver and copper mines doubled, and the soldiers who stayed behind in the Tang Army smiled, and how many mines they opened were linked to their profits, and the more they dug up, the higher their salaries would be. ()
