Chapter 225: Dafeng Treasure Banknote
It turned out that after a long journey of more than 20 days, the musket battalion led by Yang Jiajun and Yue Tianyou finally arrived at the northwest frontier.
The Mongol army, which was attacking the border fortress with high morale, was also like the Jurchen iron cavalry, under the crush of cannons, machine guns, and submachine rifles, and was directly crushed, and was almost wiped out by the Yang family army and the musket battalion.
There was no way, nearly eighty percent of the tribal leaders were killed, and the Mongolian king Balezhur, who fled with the remnants of the defeated army, had no choice but to surrender and negotiate peace, just like Xuanye's father and son;
After all, even if he fled to Ulaanbaatar, as long as Yang Yunzhao wanted to chase him, he could attack the city all the way and kill it.
In this battle, more than 70,000 Mongolian troops were annihilated, hundreds of bloody horses and more than 60,000 Mongolian horses were captured, but less than 1,000 were killed.
Under such a disparity in strength, if Liu Huayun didn't take the opportunity to slaughter those Mongolian Tatars, he would not be the No. 1 profiteer in Dafeng.
From the Alxa League to the Xilin Gol League, it almost included the original Western Regions countries and the entire region of Inner Mongolia in his previous life, and having these lands was enough for Liu Huayun, who did not like to work hard and waste money.
Moreover, in this way, it does not hurt the foundation of Mongolia, and Baljur can easily accept it.
Sure enough, ten days later, in the good news from the northwest again, the Mongol king Baljur personally signed a letter of surrender, gave up a large area of land in the northwest, and returned to Ulaanbaatar with the remnants of the defeated army.
"Lord, you came just in time, Your Majesty is about to give birth to ......"
Just when Liu Huayun put down the folds and was about to go to the harem to see He Jin, the little palace maid who ran away came forward to report with a happy face.
"Really, that's great."
Hearing this, Liu Huayun, who was overjoyed, hurriedly ran to the palace.
Her Majesty the Empress is about to give birth, like a stable woman, a nurse and the like, she began to be on call in the harem more than half a month ago, and when Liu Huayun came over, the inner hall was already full of busy figures.
"Jin'er, don't be afraid, it's okay......"
With the experience of Liu Ruoping and Lei Tingting, he was not too anxious, and comforted He Jin in the outer hall like that.
Wow~~~, half an hour later, with a loud cry, He Xuan, the prince of Dafeng, was finally born, and five days later, there was also a newborn cry in the Horse Mansion, which was Liu Mengya, the fourth daughter born to him by Duan Yaoying.
Foreign people surrendered to the country and the people, and they were full of children, and in the following days, although Liu Huayun was still very busy, he was extremely fulfilling.
Time is still like a shuttle, in a blink of an eye, another eight or nine months have passed in a hurry, the harsh winter is about to pass, and the spring of recovery is about to come.
During this time, most of the land occupied by the Mongols, as well as the two percent of the Jurchen lands in the northeast, had been governed by special garrisons and officials.
The private merchants of the three parties have also changed from trembling in and out of the country at the beginning, to now they are accustomed to being checked and smoothly going back and forth, trafficking and trading horses, silk cloth, and grain and wheat ginseng...... Wait;
What's more, with the encouragement of the Dafeng court, many people have intermarried and married women from the grasslands and northeast, while some down-and-out literati have stayed in Mongolia to teach the Jurchens and spread Dafeng's Confucian thoughts.
Rich in nickel-iron, copper, cobalt, gold, silver, platinum....... More than a dozen precious metal veins in Gansu Jinchang Longshou Mountain have also been developed and utilized.
With this nickel ore resource, which accounts for more than 90% of the entire Dafeng, Liu Huayun does not need to go overseas to trade laterite ore, and the stainless steel produced by the factory is enough to build various machinery.
Because after this period of time, Dafeng, which has 3,000 cannons, 10,000 machine guns, and 100,000 imitation AKs, has stopped building firearms, after all, these are enough to crush any country in the world today.
What he needs is all kinds of machinery to drive Dafeng's economic take-off, such as generators, gasoline engines, diesel engines, and other power machinery that can be put on ships.
According to Liu Huayun's request, the center of the huge Shenji Camp was transformed into an arsenal with shells, guns, and bullets...... They were all stored inside, and at twenty hours there were many musket battalions with loaded guns and ammunition guarding them in shifts.
At the same time, the number of craftsmen was reduced to less than 500 people, and these skilled craftsmen, who continued to make reserve ammunition, also developed more elaborate and easy-to-use firearm parts under his guidance;
For example, magnification mirrors, large-capacity magazines, etc., and those thousands of craftsmen, some of them were selected into the machinery factory, and some went to various parts of Dafeng to guide the local people to prepare for the construction of power generation equipment, install electric machinery, etc., and lay the foundation for the next step of the use of communication equipment.
Since Jinchang is still hundreds of miles away from the Yellow River, it is very inconvenient to transport the smelted metal;
During this time, two coal-fired trains built by the Shenji Battalion and the railroad tracks that ran had also been built by the engineering battalion to the banks of the Yellow River.
In addition, with the extensive use of generators and electric machinery, cement plants, stone factories, steel plants, ...... and so on, with the protection of the patent system, whether it is public or private, it has sprung up like mushrooms in Dafeng Zhudi;
Therefore, as long as the cross-river bridge under construction is successful, one day the railroad tracks will be laid in Beijing, Hangzhou and other places, truly connecting the whole world.
And Dafeng Bao banknotes and Liu's toothbrushes, toothpaste, and shampoo..... A few months ago, the factory for daily necessities began operation.
Due to the abundant supply of raw materials and the increasing sophistication of craftsmanship, the small and medium-sized cargo ship factories built on the canal wharf are now mass-produced at a rate of three ships per month, after the number of skilled craftsmen has increased several times.
The first, second, and third batches...... The Dafeng treasure banknotes were transported to branches in various places through the more than 20 cargo ships;
Of course, with heavily armed assault battalions and security guards equipped with old-fashioned muskets in various branches, there has not been a single vicious incident of treasure money being robbed to this day.
If this momentum continues, it will not take five years, but at most another year, and Liu Huayun promised that the waterway passenger and freight transportation outside Qian Yuan will be opened ahead of schedule.
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, although there are not many in the store, but in two days at most, the next batch of masks will be delivered, and everyone will have a share."
A variety of beautifully packaged Yanagi toothbrushes, toothpastes, facial cleansers, shampoos, whitening creams, ...... These daily necessities, which set off a buying boom in Dafeng, have long become the necessities of wealthy people in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places;
No, in the Liu family's daily necessities store, Qin Yushuang, who had already returned from taking care of his daughter's confinement in the capital, looked at the crowd swarming outside the door, and was busy explaining.
Milk whitening mask, only breeding cows, and with advanced machinery and technology can be made, this is the second batch of Jinling market, due to the early reputation, there have been countless people looking forward to it.
"Uncle, give me those two boxes, please, otherwise the little nephew won't be able to go back to pay the errand."
Just as Qin Yushuang was explaining with a few maid rings, Chang Lang, who struggled to squeeze in from the crowd, stuffed a few banknotes with He Jin's portrait and 1000 labeled to Liu Qingfu......
