Chapter 542: Military Merit and Gunpowder Bureau
Song Jin's partition of Nanjing Province in Liao State stirred up the situation in the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
No one could have guessed where he was going.
Originally, Tong Guan sent troops to Yanyun, all the way like a bamboo, two or three days to conquer Yanyun and lay a down payment on Nanjing Road, at that time, people of insight in the world thought that according to Tong Guan's offensive, it was only a matter of time before Yanyun was recovered, but who would have thought that Tong Guan would be defeated in Danzhou and Shunzhou?
Not only did he fail to capture Danzhou, but he vomited Shunzhou in his stomach.
What no one thought was that the Jin people would break through Beigukou and enter Danzhou at this time, and they just picked up this cheap and ate Danzhou and Shunzhou.
Although he failed to completely eat the Nanjing Dao, the army led by Yue Fei advanced fast, and the battle was also fierce, and he was also attacking the city and seizing land all the way. With the main forces of the Liao people in Nanjing Province all in Yanjing, Shunzhou, and Danzhou all lost, and the rest of the state capitals had limited reinforcements, Yue Fei easily captured so many county seats.
The only pity is Shanhaiguan, which was occupied by the Jin people first.
Otherwise, if you take Shanhaiguan, if you hold Beigukou in your hands again, you will be able to expel the Jin people at that time, and then seal these two mouths, the Jin people can only sigh to the Great Wall outside the pass.
After the successful partition of Nanjing Dao and the good news reached Kaifeng Bianjing, it was already Chinese New Year's Eve.
In this way, under the good news of the Yanyun War, the second year of Xuanhe was sent off and the third year of Xuanhe was ushered in.
In the third year of Xuanhe, it is 1121 A.D. if the era of later generations is converted.
Although he failed to take all of Nanjing Dao, he occupied two-thirds of the territory of Nanjing Dao, and he had greatly completed the plan of making a down payment to Yanyun, and Song Huizong was also helpless about the variable of the Jin people, but fortunately, now the Great Song Dynasty still controls the enclave of Liaodong, if Liaodong is exchanged with the Jin people, maybe the entire Nanjing Dao will be able to be controlled.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Song Huizong set up a banquet for 100 officials in the imperial city and rewarded the meritorious officials, especially the main battle faction and the generals who went to Yanyun this time were each rewarded as they deserved.
Yue Fei, the young general who declared his prestige in Yanyun, was also personally received by Song Huizong, and was named a miscellaneous general of General Yanyun, and at the same time, he was also promoted to the commander of the military capital.
This time, Yue Fei jumped a few levels in a row, and entered the ranks of generals from a small fire leader.
Song Huizong set up a banquet for his ministers on this day, and Li Chu in Rufen Town was not idle.
On this day, on the military merit exchange table, there are a lot of things today.
These things are mainly some technology or some mechanical equipment.
Such as toothpaste technology, toothbrush technology, stainless steel basin technology, craft sofa technology, paint technology, mirror technology and so on.
These technologies or machinery cannot be obtained for a short period of time with the contribution value of those merchants. The technology released by Li Chu is mainly exchanged for people within the Qilin Army, although they don't have to produce it themselves, but they can be responsible for the production of relatives and friends, and they can even sell this technology directly to merchants.
In short, a lot of this new release is a benefit for soldiers or some meritorious generals, whatever they want.
No matter how you deal with it, you can get a lot of money from the rewards of these skills or the soldiers.
That's the benefit of military merit.
Li Chu can no longer have a headache for what to reward the soldiers, and he is not afraid of the embarrassing situation that the credit he has done is too great and there is nothing to seal, anyway, with military merits, when the time comes, you can spend your own military merits to redeem them, and this military merit can also be hereditary, if you can't use it up, you can pass it on to future generations.
On this day, Li Chu accompanied Ah Xiu to spend a beautiful New Year in Rufen Town.
On this day, the fireworks in Rufen Town did not stop being set off.
This is true in Rufen Town, and it is also true in the south of the Yangtze River.
Today, the city of Jiangning City is brightly lit.
The people of the city have installed electrical circuits, turned on the electric lights, and every house has turned on the lights, and now the night is no longer night, but as bright as day, even brighter than day, and everyone is amazed by the magic of this light bulb.
With the lights, it will be much more convenient at night in the future.
This circuit matter also inadvertently helped Li Chu complete another measure.
That is to merge the villages.
Today's rural branches are too scattered, and even some villages only have one or two households, and the circuit installation is given priority to some large villages, and some small villages can't bear it when they see this, and they call it unfair, why give them and not give them to us?
To this end, Shi Tianyi directly put forward the idea of merging villages.
Gathering and merging several small villages into one large village is easy to manage, and it is also a good care for the people's own economy.
At the same time, the people fled into the mountains for the mountain people, and so on.
This time, they used the matter of installing the circuit to lure them to take the initiative to obediently put on the set.
In addition to electric lights, Li Chu also transported a lot of fireworks over, and the fireworks in Jiangning City did not stop all night.
The matter of the Gunpowder Bureau is that Lei Lingzhen is in charge, and now the production effect of the Gunpowder Bureau is good, and the black powder has long been made, and even under Li Chu's suggestion, he found that the cotton was made of smokeless gunpowder, which made the power of the gunpowder even higher.
However, the matter of gunpowder is still kept secret from the entire Qilin Army for the time being.
The only people who know are the personnel of the Gunpowder Bureau and some rewards from the Kirin Army, and then the soldiers of the Kirin Army.
The soldiers of the Qilin Army refer to the soldiers of the Qilin Army under the jurisdiction of the Qilin Army, excluding the Haining Army, the Junshui Army, the Water Margin Army, and the Ying Water Army. The Kirin Army knew because the soldiers of the Kirin Army had added a course to their training, and that was this gunpowder.
The soldiers did not know the formula, but they had come into contact with gunpowder and had personally carried explosive packets and threw them out to blow them up.
At the same time, the concept of flintlock pistol proposed by Li Chu has also been studied by the Gunpowder Bureau, and a prototype has been made.
It's just that the current prototype is not as convenient as the composite crossbow.
In addition, now that the lathe has just arrived, it will take a while to get used to rifling the gun.
On the contrary, it is the artillery, but the research progress of the Gunpowder Bureau is the fastest.
Probably there are a lot of artillery here, Li Chu directly took two guns and put them in the Gunpowder Bureau, there are ready-made cannons, and the Gunpowder Bureau also made a replica according to the map.
This imitation cannot be directly called artillery at present.
It's called cannons!
ps: A book recommended by a friend, "System Version of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Mang has traveled to a parallel world where all the systems come with their own systems, where the generals have cool skills, the strategists have spells that call the wind and rain, and there are countless magical formations.
