Chapter 425: The Red-Coated Cannon
> Fukangan, 50,000 heavy armored cavalry, garrison Ao Bingcheng, (Fukangan has 50,000 people, and the Ministry of War allows the selection of the most elite soldiers among the 300,000 elites, 30 to choose 5), in this regard, everyone is envious, 50,000 cavalry is unbearable, and it is still heavy armor, and the elite of the elite must be selected.

> Zheng Feng, 80,000 infantry, garrisoned Ao Bingcheng. > Zhengli, 50,000 infantry, garrisoned Ao Bingcheng. > Zheng Feng and Zheng Li joined the Western Capital together, and now one has 80,000 people, and the other can only have 50,000 people, which seems a bit unfair, but according to the merits of the war, this is the case.
> Zheng Feng made a lot of meritorious contributions in the battle to eliminate Ao Yuntian, and the troops were all finished, and this time the troops were divided, and the military department directly gave 80,000 elites.
The > Military Department still continued the previous line of thought, and the soldiers trained by Zheng Feng and Zheng Li were all elite siege elites, mainly training siege cities.
> Liao Yun, 80,000 infantry, garrison Ao Bingcheng, (Liao Yun has meritorious service in guarding Languan, and he is an old man, he has been allocated by 80,000 troops, and no one is dissatisfied.)
> Qin Shuang, 80,000 infantry, garrisoned Ao Bingcheng. > dogs, 30,000 infantry, garrison imperial capital. > Zhang Meng, the Yulin army increased to 20,000, and the garrison was located in the imperial capital.
> Shuntianfu, increase to 50,000, (the imperial capital is too big, far from being comparable to the Western Capital, and it is necessary to increase the number of troops!)
And the candidate of Shuntianfu, after the recommendation of the Ministry of War, Wang Xu and Ye Xiong, this time it was directly given to Miansheng, and Miansheng was appointed.
According to statistics, Wang Xu's regular strength now has reached 1.06 million, and as for the county soldiers, there are 121,000.>
Under Wang Xu's rule, there were a total of 116 counties, except for the 5,000 garrisons in Languan, and 1,000 in each of the other counties. >............> April, something big happened in North County.
> the lord of Beijun, King Xiao Ming is three years old this year, and he officially ascended the throne as the emperor, known as Emperor Ming. The founding name of the country is 'Ming', the Great Ming Kingdom.
> Renran took the royal city of Beijun as the capital. The year name was changed to 1 year of enlightenment. >Until now, the world has temporarily entered a state of calm, and there is no war.
> Hu State, under the leadership of Gao Quan, he made a large number of secret weapons and attached importance to the commercial development of the paper industry, but due to the shortage of food in Hu State, Cai Wenzhuo cut many soldiers.
Only 600,000 elites were left, stationed in three counties. > Mingguo, under the leadership of Cai Wenzhuode, produced a large number of Wenwang immortal brews, and sold them to the whole country, and the business was very good; Cai Wenzhuo attaches great importance to agriculture and is preparing to develop the prairie; At the same time as Wang Xu expanded his army.
Cai Wenzhuo also expanded his troops, from more than 300,000 to 800,000! > imperial capital, using the Yangtze River as a barrier, recruiting and guarding the eastern county.
As soon as the > court arrived in Dongjun, the people of the sea to the east of Dongjun immediately surrendered and depended. Help the imperial court to raise and defend the Yangtze River, and now there are 200,000 more water troops in Dongjun alone, which is really like an iron pass, but there are not many army left; Yang Mingyue also followed Hu Guo's high power and cut the number of personnel, from more than one million to 600,000.
And of these 600,000, 200,000 are trolls! > Dongjun's territory is actually quite large, but the water area is mostly unsuitable for the development of agriculture, so it is not easy to feed these 600,000 elite soldiers.
>Fortunately, there were 200,000 elite sailors blocking the Yangtze River, and there was strong support from the people in the snowy region, so Yang Mingyue was a little relieved.
>...........> imperial capital. > the Imperial Study. > Jia Hui came with a happy face: "Your Majesty, good news." ”>
"Master Jia, what makes you happy like this?" Wang Xu said while reviewing the recital. > Jia Hui held a box in his hand, opened it on his desk, and said excitedly: "The manufacturing method of saltpeter has been studied by the Academy of Science and Technology, and it is now being manufactured in large quantities!" Hearing this, > Wang Xu suddenly got up, which is indeed good news.
>
"I'll just say, the dignified Wenyuan Pavilion of the Academy of Science and Technology, a large number of first-class scholars, if even the pharmacy owners in Nandu are not as good, then how is it possible." > saltpeter in Wang Xuzi, laughed.
> Jia Hui said: "Your Majesty, you should call yourself me now, and you can no longer call yourself 'me'. ”>
"Does it make a difference?" > Jia Hui said: "Of course there is a difference, this is a title that only the Son of Heaven can use, so it can also show the majesty of my holy dynasty, and these rituals cannot be abolished." > Wang Xu pursed his mouth: "Okay, I'll talk about me in the future." "> Wang Xu is now wearing a newly made dragon robe, quite majestic, as for the color, it is still used in ancient China, using the yellow color, now in the imperial capital, only Yulin Army and Wang Xu, can use the yellow color, others, without this qualification, even the rising soldiers and horses of Shuntianfu, the soldiers are only tied with a yellow scarf around their necks to distinguish them from other soldiers and horses.

"Tell me how this saltpeter is made, then?" > Jia Hui said: "In fact, it is very simple, take the dry clods, crush them, put them in a container, soak them in water and mix them thoroughly, filter them many times, take the filtrate to clarify, heat and evaporate them in the evaporation pot to remove the water, take them out and cool them, that is, they precipitate saltpeter crystals." Store in a cool, dry place. ”>
"The Academy of Science and Technology also succeeded in experiments after hundreds of researches." > Wang Xu nodded: "Okay, with this method of making saltpeter, then we don't have to be afraid of Hu Guo anymore, we must make it in large quantities." ”>
"Oh yes, I... Is the red-coated cannon science and technology institute that I painted ready? > Jia Hui said: "Weichen is here to report this matter, it has been all made, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to go and review it." ”>
"The 'red-coated cannon' made this time is two meters long, one meter wide, weighs five hundred catties, and has a firing range of four hundred meters, which can not only be used for defending the city, but also for field warfare, and is very powerful, even stronger than the previous secret weapon." > Wang Xu said: "Okay, there is no need to review, let the Academy of Science and Technology hurry up to make a hundred red-coated cannons, and after three months, we will conduct a military parade in the field, and also show our strength to other countries!" ”>
"I believe that after showing our strength, no country will dare to go to war against us for ten years, and we can take advantage of this to recuperate, and when we have enough strength, we will send troops and dominate the world!" > waited until Wang Xu finished speaking, Jia Hui had an excited look on his face, if they can really dominate the world, then they are all the founding heroes, and from now on, they can glorify their ancestors.
> think about it six years ago, he was just the master of the small Jingliao County, but now, he has become the military minister of the Holy Dynasty, under one person, above ten thousand, it is really a time has passed, and people can't help but sigh.
