Three hundred and seventy-four times, weapons are not as good as miracles

A loud bang at the West Gate was earth-shattering, and the people of this era had never heard this level of loud noise except for thunder, coupled with the altar where Dai Gang pretended to be a ghost, it was difficult not to make people think of strange forces and chaos, and for a while the people in Qiao County were panicked. The gossip that God helped Wu Guo to send Thunder God to help spread far and wide, and for a while, even the bombed and collapsed city wall of Xicheng was forgotten.

Even a few people were stunned on the spot, although they had some insight in this era, but they had never seen such a battle, especially in the Han Dynasty, when the doctrine of Jiwei was prevalent, and the trend of mysticism was even believed in by the court. The origins of the doctrine can be traced back to the ancient Emperor Fuxi's Hetu Luoshu, but the so-called doctrine of the Han Dynasty was a complete mysticism. The prophecy is a hidden word made up by sorcerers and monks in the Qin and Han dynasties to predict good fortune and evil; The Wei is the relative of the classics (Confucian classics), which is a kind of book that explains the meaning of Confucian scriptures in the Han Dynasty with theological astrology, which preserves a lot of ancient myths and legends, and also records some knowledge about ancient astronomy, calendar, geography and other aspects. Abbreviated as weft.

The law of Han Confucianism is combined into the warp and weft, and the scriptures are heavy on the six meridians, and the weft books also have seven latitudes. In the Han Dynasty, in addition to the prevalence of the doctrine of Wei Wei, the doctrine of the end of the five virtues has become popular. This theory, which began with the famous yin-yang scholar Zou Yan, was revered by successive feudal rulers and became a benchmark for changing dynasties and establishing dynastic orthodoxy. In particular, Zhou Chenghuo came out, and the Qin Dynasty Zhou Hou claimed to be a water virtue in order to promote orthodoxy, with winter and October as the first year, the color was still black, and the degree was named after six. And the Han Dynasty overthrew the Qin Dynasty and established, it stands to reason that it should call itself Tude, in fact, the Han Dynasty also did this, but when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, cut the snake and rebelled, he declared that he was the son of the Red Emperor, and the Han Empire was still red, and he walked the road of fire and virtue. Claiming to be the successor of the Zhou Dynasty to the king of fire, so Bangu's "Book of Han? Gao Jizan will say: "The banner is still red, and it is in harmony with Huode." It is precisely because of this that the Han Empire became the only dynasty in the past dynasties that still had two virtues.

In this way, there is a sentence that the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao, if the Han Dynasty is really Tude, how can it be replaced by water virtue!? Therefore, after Cao Wei founded the country, he was still the king of black clothes and black armor with water virtue. And the Eastern Wu did not specifically restrain the five virtues of the Wei State, but turned into a self-proclaimed Mude, gray-clothed and silver-armored to honor the Qingdi Taihao Fuxi, with the spring and January as the first year. It is a natural inheritance to use the theory of Tude Shengmu Dezhi to imply that he is a successor dynasty derived from the Han Dynasty. At the same time, in order to better connect with Shu Han, after all, Shu Han prides himself on being a German person, and the two allies can't fight each other!!

However, what the full pet is thinking about now is. The Eastern Green Emperor, also known as the Cang Emperor, is in charge of the vitality of all things in addition to the corresponding spring. Return the Lord Thunder! But was that loud bang really thunderous? Of course not. This is a new type of weapon of the Wu army, which was famous in later Japan, and his Chinese name is the iron soldering cone of the Song Dynasty.

It is a grenade-like weapon that is filled with gunpowder in a clay pot-shaped container, ignited a fuse, and thrown at the enemy. The pottery has a rope on it, and it is a weapon that is thrown by centrifugal force through a circular swing and the main purpose is to kill and injure enemy soldiers. At the same time, it ignites nearby wooden structures. Japanese roasting is similar to modern burning. The explosive power and the fragments of the container are the main force of killing, and the power of fire is low. However, with the help of Ji's apprentice, the famous Ge Xian Weng, Qiao Ren developed a powerful black powder. This new type of weapon was used on the battlefield for the first time, and the results achieved were enormous. Not only was the city wall blown down. Even the city gates were shattered, and the most important point was that the Wei army's mind was completely taken away.

In just a few minutes, taking advantage of the panic of the Wei army, Liu Xun drove the Wu army, who was also palpitating, to rush into the city, and almost didn't take half a effort to disarm the Wei army in the city in a daze, the only fly in the ointment was that Wang Ling recovered at the last moment, and went out with a thousand guards full of favors, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Wu army had no time to take care of, and escaped in one fell swoop.

However, Qiao County was finally captured, and most of the 20,000 Wei troops in the city surrendered to the Wu army, except for a very small resistance. In this battle, the Wu army not only captured Qiao County, which was heavily defended by the Wei army, and reduced the number of soldiers of the Wei army, but also gained 20,000 prisoners, and its own losses were almost negligible, and the city could not be described as a great victory.

And this is the result of Dai Gang's pretending to be weird, and Dai Gang's performance played a very important role. First, to protect this new type of weapon, although the iron cone was used by the Wu army, the Wei army did not treat him as a weapon, but blamed it on miracles, which was in Qiao Ren's arms, an unnamed weapon was obviously more lethal than other famous ones. Second, the miracle of Tianzhu Dawu was promoted, a weapon and a miracle are two completely different concepts, the weapon is just a manpower, and the left and right and the sword are just the same thing, but the miracle is very different, since Dai Gang can invite thunder to help this time, he can already do it next time, so that the rumors of Tianzhu of Wu in the Wei State will become more and more intense, and people will probably always be unable to compete with the sky.

After taking the entire county, Sun Shao's army could not only flank Runan with Lu Xun's western front. Moreover, Cao Wei's Yuzhou and Yanzhou defense lines were opened, and the entire south of the Yellow River was like a beautiful woman in her clothes, allowing others to take what she wanted. However, the capture of the Central Plains was not in the interests of Eastern Wu, so on the fifth day of Sun Shao's seizure of Qiao County, Qiao Ren of Shouchun sent a military order, ordering Sun Shao and Dai Gang's Eastern Front Army to return to the division, concentrate all their efforts to deal with Cao Hong, and then seize Qingzhou.

Wu's maritime superiority is obvious, although Gan Ning's miscellaneous troops are a little difficult to capture Bohai County, but it is still possible to harass it, so the coastal line of Qingzhou and Jizhou can be poured blood mold, and Gan Ning, who comes and goes without a shadow, is like the pirates of later generations, and sometimes goes ashore to attack the county from time to time, and sometimes attacks the hinterland to scare the county guards of Cao Wei, in addition to Gan Ning also destroyed the Wei State's countless salt works along the coast.

You must know that since the salt and iron official camp, the salt and iron tax has always been the focus of the government's revenue, and now the most important Qingzhou salt farm has been destroyed by Gan Ning, not to mention the sharp decline in tax revenue, and the supply of salt is also sharply insufficient. You must know that there are no more than four kinds of salt eaten by the Chinese people. Sea salt, pond salt (lake salt), well salt, rock salt (mineral salt), rock today does not have this technology. Therefore, in the late Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, the first three methods of real salt production were the first three, the most important of which was sea salt. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Taigong Yu Qi "as far as the north is Wudi", according to the "Guanzi": "At the beginning of late spring, the people of Beihai boiled the sea for salt". "Historical Records" contains: "Taigong to the country...... Through the industrial and commercial industry, it will benefit from fish and salt, and the people will be united and become a big country. As a result, the salt industry of Wudi is flourishing, and Bohai County is a salt official in the Western Han Dynasty. The sea salt production accounts for seven percent of the world, and the remaining two parts are the well salt of Yizhou and the pond salt of Bingzhou. The origin of pond salt in Bingzhou is Guan Yu's hometown of Xie County, Hedong, but in this era of immature technology, the output of pond salt and well salt is limited, and it mainly depends on sea salt.

However, the well salt belongs to Shu Han, and the sea salt in the south is the benefit of the fish salt of the Wu State, and there is a problem with the sea salt of Bohai County today, and the salt of the whole country of Wei is not possible to be supplied only by Xie County, so what kind of battle is there to fight! This is also the result of Qiao Ren's insight beyond a thousand years, in this era there is only the saying of cutting off the grain road, and there has never been a practice of cutting off its salt source, so even if Gan Ning destroyed the salt works in the Bohai Sea, the Wei State is still unknown.

But by the time they really understand, it's too late. Salt was a hard currency in all dynasties in China, and the salt quotation of the Song and Ming dynasties was almost circulated as a silver ticket, and in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu adopted the advice of the great salt merchant Dongguo Weiyang, and implemented the official salt sales system throughout the country from the fourth year of Yuanzhan (118 BC). At that time, there was only one way for the government to source the salt for the people, but if Cao Wei couldn't get the salt now, it would be a lot of fun. Although Cao Wei is definitely not the only salt-producing place in the Bohai Sea, the self-sufficiency of other counties is not enough, let alone dealing with places that do not produce salt, so Qiao Ren's trick cannot be said to be ruthless.
