"Ice, what's that?" At this time, everyone was nervously looking at the white line that was approaching in the distance.

"Run." Just when the Qi army was watching. Serious panic first broke out in the positions of the Zhao army.

Ling Xun carries a large amount of ice because the upstream ice cannot melt, and the downstream ice is concentrated downstream. As a result, the downstream ice expands to both sides of the river without being able to channel it. And the positions of the two armies. Just within the scope of expansion.

"Run." The soldiers of the Zhao army resolutely abandoned their positions and ran far away without any problems. And the Qi soldiers just watched Zhao Jun's actions.

"Boom. Boom. "Until Ling Xun slowly approached with a huge block of ice. Only then did the soldiers of the Qi army realize the danger.

"Run." The soldiers of the Qi army and the soldiers of the Zhao army let out a loud exclamation, and everyone ran farther away from the shore in desperation. And the ice cube also quickly approached the position of the Qi army at this time.

The huge ice swept some Qi soldiers who didn't have time to escape. The bridge shelves that had just been built on the shore were suddenly washed away by the ice. Timber piled up not far from the shore was also washed away.

Many people watched this scene with pale faces. Neither soldier entered the bunker. Neither side had the option of opening fire at this time to resume the fighting. The soldiers on both sides were stunned by the sudden scene.

Human warfare is fierce, but it is in the face of the forces of nature. Human power can sometimes seem so small. The arrival of Ling Xun made all people feel the power of nature. Under these circumstances, humanity naturally stopped the war.

Such a thing is not uncommon, when there was a war in the second world. Allied and Axis forces fought fiercely under Mount Vesuvius in Italy. Just when the soldiers on both sides were desperately fighting each other. The volcano actually erupted. Soldiers on both sides immediately stopped fighting. And look at each other as a magnificent natural wonder. Equally. Such a scene. Naturally happened on the heads of soldiers on both sides. The soldiers on both sides were well aware. It would be very unwise for them to go to war at this time.

Ling Xun's arrival was very beneficial to the Zhao army, but for the Qi army, it was disastrous. The Zhao army could use Ling Xun to hinder the Qi army's plan to build a bridge to return to the other side of the river. On the Qi army's side, morale suddenly fell to an unprecedented low.

"It's God won't let us go back." A soldier said with a sad face.

And the other soldiers, although they did not show it, understood in their hearts. Their journey home is going to be delayed. Once again, their hearts were overwhelmed by despair.

The most terrible thing about people is that there is hope. With hopeful things, people will burst out with unprecedented potential, but the most frustrating thing is that the most promising things suddenly turn into despair. Then the human heart will fall to its lowest point. That's what it feels like to be dead.

"I'm afraid we have no hope of returning to the Qi country." At this time, a Qi soldier said. There was no focus in their blank eyes, and what they saw in their eyes was not the huge ice cubes, but the future of the black hole.

The situation on the front line has had a dramatic aggravating effect on the aligned countries. And in the rear of the Qi State. Qi is generating new factors that are a huge driving force for change.

"Ding, ding, ding." In an ordinary city of the Qi Kingdom. A handmade blacksmith shop is in the midst of intense busyness. The blacksmiths, bare-chested, beat a large iron plate under the blazing flames, which they had to hammer into thin iron plates, which were then made into barrels and other parts.

"How's our yield?" A Qi official asked.

"In a month, we were able to produce more than two hundred muskets." Said a leader of the artisans dressed in dirty clothes.

"More than two hundred muskets a month. Too little. The official looked back. But seeing the appearance of the filthy leader, he was reluctant to speak.

"Too little. To speed up the pace, at least more than 300 a month. The official said.

"More than three hundred. More than a dozen of them will be built in one day. The craftsman calculated.

"I don't care about that." The official said arrogantly.

"This." The craftsman said with some embarrassment. Currently, his blacksmith shop is less than ten people. These 10 people, not only young and middle-aged laborers, but also women and children, were also involved in the production and processing of weapons.

This official was the official of the local administration of weapons, and the large-scale use of coal and iron ore, especially after the coal was raised in furnace temperatures, there was a completely new development in the iron smelting industry. In terms of weapons. The state of Qi itself copied the flintlock pistol of the state of Qin. But this old-fashioned rifle is of no use. Because, in terms of range and power, yo ah is far less than the mainstream of current equipment. The firing range of a trap rifle. Trap rifles use custom-loaded cartridges. This type of ammunition requires specialized instrumentation and equipment to produce. This kind of bullet can also be made by hand, but the cost is very huge, and the most important thing is that the Qi people cannot solve an important problem in the development of gunpowder, that is, the problem of the amount of fire cap charge, they do not know what kind of gunpowder the Qin people are loading. They tried a variety of gunpowders but to no avail, so the problem of fixed ammunition remained unsolved.

However, Qi soon found a new buyer for this backward weapon. This is the state of Korea, to which they sold weapons that were relatively backward but advanced to the countries of Korea and Goryeo. In order to increase production, there is a great demand in North Korea. And they take a lot of local products in exchange, so that. This further stimulated the weapons manufacturing industry in Qi, especially the weapons handicraft workshops based on this kind of handicraft workshop. They mass-produced weapon accessories, which were then assembled to form a flintlock pistol. Then, in the form of acquisitions, the government buys weapons in the hands of handicraft workshops, which are acquired. Pooled and sold to the Korean state of Goryeo. Then exchange those souvenirs back. Then sell these local products together with various sea salts produced in Qi to other countries to earn high profits. And buy back the necessary iron ore, or coal. Or other strategic goods. These materials include a variety of grains, as well as gunpowder, steel, and so on. These materials have become the main material support for whether the Qi State can carry out such a huge war. Arguably. Without these, the entire cycle of Qi's war would have collapsed early.

Stimulated by the war, a large number of handicraft workshops were born, and these handicraft workshops were the germ of capitalism in the country of Qi. Although there is no data to show it, there is sufficient evidence that the cities of Qi are much larger.

"Every day, there is a large concentration of landless peasants who have come to the city from nearby villages to work, who have no arable land and can only sell their labor. They are lucky enough to find a place to work in the city. They no longer farm, but participate in Taoist workshops. This happened in many parts of the Qi country. One taxi wrote.

"Cities naturally supply what they want. For example, food, enough flour from the Qin state, and rice from the Chu state. Coupled with the various simple diets of the Qin State and the exquisite cooking techniques of the Chu State, the city began to become prosperous. But the bad thing is that our land is more and more concentrated in the hands of the nobility. More and more people are losing their land. Large numbers of civilians had to sell their labor. More and more people are concentrating in the cities. And there are fewer and fewer people in the cultivated areas. I am very concerned about this. The gentleman wrote in his diary. This also reflects the changes that have taken place in the country of Qi from the side.

There are many changes that have taken place in the country of Qi. Cities are best reflected. There is a huge demand from the military industry. It stimulated the development of military weapons production and related industries in Qi. This is mainly reflected in the handicraft workshops. Since there was no industrial machinery and industrial machine tools, they could not get these things, and they could only rely on manual methods to build handicraft workshops to complete the huge military production.

There you have these. The military production of Qi was initially established. It is precisely by relying on these military productions that Qi has completed the normal operation of their country. Taxes are no longer enough to compensate for the enormous cost of the war.

There are other workshops for military craftsmen, such as bayonets, metallurgy, and butts. Woodworking fabrication. All kinds of mechanical parts. The earliest fitter of Qi was born. They will produce the most difficult parts of flintlock pistols to make. These parts gave birth to the earliest fitters and assembly parts in the Qi Kingdom. In the process of long-term labor, these craftsmen began to pursue continuously, they began to develop some of their own ideas, and then put these ideas into practice. This gave birth to early engineering talent, a lot of the time. That's how talent is built.

Not only the military industrial enterprises of Qi State, but also the shipbuilding industry and maritime transportation industry of Qi State have also begun to develop rapidly. Since Qi and Korea are directly separated by a wide ocean, this greatly facilitates the sea transportation between the two countries. As a result, they quickly developed the maritime transportation industry, and although they still used wooden boats, the rate of their increase was increasing rapidly. The number of sailors in Qi increased rapidly, from less than 20,000 to 50,000, and in the coastal areas, about a million people were involved in shipbuilding, transportation, and fishing. Qi's maritime undertakings are also developing rapidly, and Qi is relying on maritime resources to support this war. Without these, it is very likely that the Qi State would have been dragged down by the Qin State long ago.
