In a word, the building of spiritual and material civilization in the armed forces must keep up with and be more strict, so that in the future, it can control more territory and territory and have a strong cohesive force. Even if it is thousands of miles away, in their hearts, they will always regard themselves as the people and soldiers of the Chinese Empire, which is the most critical point.

I remember that at the end of last autumn, this group of officers did not take a boat from the Yellow River or the Yangtze River to the sea and take the waterway. Instead, they were fully armed and headed straight south. They walked for a total of 21 days to arrive at Cochin, and they walked the whole way, and no one was left behind.

According to Wei Yunqi's words, it is a long-distance march, which is the most suitable for sharpening their spirit and body, making them stronger and courageous. For this point, I raise my hands in favor, and there will be such a team in the future generations, with only two feet, who walked out of the 25,000-mile long march that shocked the world.

The Janissary Firearms Tester is now nearing formation. Their training was even harder than that of other Praetorian Guards. In order to get closer to actual combat, large-scale military exercises are conducted almost every ten days, and countless ammunition is consumed, and it is precisely because of this training that their skills and tactics have been greatly improved.

Two months earlier, after receiving a letter from Murong Daxi asking for help, Murong Fuyun, the new head of Tuyuhun, sent another army to pacify the Eastern Tuyuhun established by Murong Daxi.

Dispatched nearly 100,000 troops to kill, Murong Daxi led the army to engage in battle, defeated in successive battles, and finally gathered 20,000 remnants of the army and fled to the West Sea, asking for help from our Chinese Empire, after careful discussion, the court sent the Praetorian Guard Firearms Test Division to the plateau, with the current Longyou Governor Pei Renji to fight.

Two days ago, the battle report was received. The first formation of the firearms division of the Praetorian Guards was to fight, but not the whole division, but 3,000 cuirassiers and 2,000 cavalry of the East Tuyuhun and 2,000 cavalry of the Chinese Renaissance Army.

As a result, when they encountered Tuyuhun's forward army, the 30,000 cavalry saw this small cavalry team and immediately pounced murderously. Qu Tuquan, who led the army to spy on the enemy, asked the cavalry of the East Tuyuhun and the cavalry of the Chinese Revival Army to evacuate first, and then led his 3,000 lancers to start a unique guerrilla war.

It lasted for more than an hour, and the two sides chased me and fled. And the musketeers of the forbidden land Hun relied on the carefully selected horses under their command, as well as their excellent cavalry, and more importantly, they held weapons with a range far beyond the bow and arrow, in the battle of retreating and attacking.

More than 5,000 Tuyuhun forwards were killed and wounded, and in the end, the 30,000 forwards who were forced to Tuyuhun could only give up the idea of continuing the pursuit in despair. In this battle, the cuirassiers showed their hideous fangs for the first time, and in the future, the world will be stunned.

After the arrival of Tuyuhun's main force, Qu Tuquan retreated to Zhiweiding City in Xihai County, and defended the city with Pei Yuanqing, who guarded Xihai.

On the first day, without using artillery, the eight thousand cuirassier musketeers gave full play to the results of their long-term training, using muskets far longer than bows and crossbows, so that the Tuyuhun siege army suffered heavy casualties, and the siege on the first day was three times in a row, at most just came to the city, and then retreated.

On the second day, Murong Fuwan, the commander of the army sent by Murong Fuyun, decided not to test but to attack directly, and ordered the army to move forward, intending to take Xihai County Zhiweiding City in one go. As a result, the artillery reinforcement regiment, which had already carried its artillery on the city wall, blew up the Tuyuhun army with a sharp artillery bombardment that cut its head and covered its face, just at the beginning of the first attack.

Nearly 50 artillery pieces were concentrated in the west of Weiding City, and in the first round of shelling, the entire Chinese army in Tuyuhun was directly blown into a mess, and even more frightened these plateau locals who had never appreciated the shelling almost out of their bodies. At this time, the west gate was wide open, and 3,000 cuirassiform lancers, 20,000 East Tuyuhun cavalry, and 5,000 cavalry of the Chinese Revival Army surged out, directly attacking the Tuyuhun army that had been blown up and panicked.

Tuyuhun's commander Murong Fu was directly blown up in the first round of artillery fire, and finally a prisoner of war identified a corpse with only the upper half of his body left, draped in iron armor, only to know that this Tuyuhun commander became the first high-level general in history to fall under artillery fire.

In the subsequent pursuit battle, 4,070 Tuyuhun troops were killed and wounded, and 15,000 enemies were captured. The remnant were scattered in the wilderness. For the astonishing power of artillery, these Tuyuhun people directly run through the name of the thunder of the gods.

The power of the cannon fire is not only intimidating, but also its long range and suddenness that you can never believe.

Murong Daxi directly wiped his tears and snot in the hope that he could obtain such an artifact, of course, he was directly rejected by Qu Tuquan, but Pei Yuanqing was also very red-eyed. After the great victory, the period when the Janissary firearms testers had not yet returned to Chang'an came to Chang'an almost one by one a day.

It's nothing more than about Weiding City being extremely dangerous, and I hope that the court can take into account the situation in Xihai County and leave dozens of artillery pieces so that he can play with Yunyun every day.

For Pei Renji's shameless tricks, the ministers of the DPRK and China couldn't cry and laugh, and finally ordered this guy not to obstruct the return of the Praetorian Guard firearms test division to Chang'an, but this son also made a promise to Pei Yuanqing.

In half a year, an artillery battalion will be assigned to Xihai County, which will belong to Pei Yuanqing, and this guy directly clapped his chest and said that he would definitely treat this artillery battalion as his own father and guarantee that he would not lose any gunners and artillery.

Artillery can be used as a strategic force in the future Chinese Imperial Army, which can be equipped with border guards in advance, but the musket troops are not the same, and the musketeers need not only training, but also strong logistics as a supplement.

Although artillery is also needed, it is not used as often as musketeers, and more importantly, musketeers must be built in size to be lethal enough. Therefore, it can only be redressed and trained at the regimental or division level.

But artillery only needs one battalion, which is enough to terrify the enemy, and its deterrent power far exceeds its actual combat effectiveness. Therefore, it is more feasible to distribute artillery to the armies of each side in small quantities.

The copper ore exchanged from the Turks amounted to 200,000 catties, or 100 tons, every month, and before that carriages were used, using 200 four-wheeled carriages or 80 six-wheeled carriages.

Nowadays, it only takes five days to pull the copper ore by the way by using the train to carry passengers. Now, in order to meet the demand, the original No. 4 steam locomotive has to be used for transportation.

Now that the steam locomotive factory has been renovated and expanded, it has been finalized, and by next month, the No. 6 steam locomotive will start trial operation, if it is true, to reach the expected carrying capacity. Then the construction of ten cars will start at the same time, and after three months, ten steam locomotives will leave the factory every month.

The construction of the railway from Chang'an to Chengdu is being accelerated. Although it will be very difficult to cross the Qinling Mountains, it will be very difficult to construct the road, but with gunpowder, not a single qiē is not a problem. It is expected that there will be more than 20 tunnels when passing through the Qinling Mountains, of which three will be between 20 and 15 li long.

Is this extremely rare in the history of railway construction in the world? Well, it should be called unprecedented, in this era, there is no barbarian country that is good at building railways?

The number of workers put in is more than 30,000, 30,000, think back then, the Pacific Railroad built by the American gang was the first railroad to cross the North American continent, and was named one of the seven industrial wonders of the world since the Industrial Revolution by the BBC.

The Pacific Railroad has made a huge contribution to the economic development of the United States, and in a sense, it is this railroad that has made modern America possible. With a total length of more than 3,000 kilometers and a journey through the entire North American continent, it was the world's first transcontinental railway, which was regarded as a miracle in the minds of Americans, and the construction process was extremely difficult under the conditions of the time. Among them, the steep terrain of the Sierra Nevada Mountains is the most difficult to build the Pacific Railroad.

More than 14,000 Chinese laborers joined in the construction of the railway, and 95 percent of the work on the Central Pacific Railway, which is nearly 1,100 kilometers long, was completed in the four years that Chinese laborers joined the road construction army.

Think about it, now, we have used 30,000 yuan, which is more than double the Chinese laborers who built the Pacific Railway in the past, and the distance from Chang'an to Chengdu is only more than 700 kilometers.

Therefore, the opening of traffic within five years is definitely not a flashy style to play beyond Britain to catch up with the United States, but a work deadline that is absolutely carefully considered.

Today, on the Bashu Plain, more than 5,000 laborers are struggling to ram the earth and pave stone ballast, while more than 15,000 laborers, along the cement straight, are working hard to open up more than 20 tunnels from Chang'an to Chengdu.

And for the sake of these tunnels, I even ordered the steam engine factory to speed up the production of large steam engines, and when the time comes, they can be used in the project. For example, it can be used in tunnelling work. And most importantly, it is the driving force for the transportation of materials and gravel.

The Chinese Empire has gradually detached itself from its original track, and has embarked on the glorious road of industrial revolution more than a thousand years ahead of schedule. Nowadays, the major printing houses have also changed their guns, and the efficiency of printing with steam engines has been greatly improved.

In addition, after the use of steam hydraulic presses in weapons manufacturers, the speed of forging has also been increased accordingly.

All the copper obtained from the Turks was thrown into the gun factory, where it would be turned into a venerable cannon, or a yellow shell.
