Lu Youxiong's army stationed outside the city.

The thunderous cheers in Nanzheng City drifted to Lu Youxiong's ears, provoking Lu Youxiong to be angry, but he couldn't let his younger brother see that he was angry and undignified, so people could only nest in the military tent and smash it, and the military case alone was cut by a knife seventeen or eighteen pieces.

"The people of Hanzhong despise me so much, I will take revenge on me in the future."

Lu Youxiong, who was born in the old boy, has the best face in life. In this battle of Baocheng, he was first forced out of the city by the bigwigs, and then when he stayed in Longjiang Town, he was strongly despised by Zhou Fanshou, and now he has returned to Nanzheng, and he is not allowed to enter the city.

Looking at Liu Xian, who was warmly welcomed into the city, and the thunderous cheers coming from the city, Lu Youxiong felt that his face had been lost. The big men in Hanzhong City are still in the mud and don't forget to step on it and crush it!

Lu Cheng stood in a corner silently, and all that appeared on his white face was a perverse yin owl.

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for Lu Youxiong's injustice in the future." Fiercely thrust the knife into the ground, Lu Youxiong's breath surged, and he restrained the ruthlessness little by little.

He still has a bit of brains, the current situation in Hanzhong, Lu Youxiong is unwilling, and with the strength in his hands, he can't set off a big storm. But what if the situation suddenly changes? For example, the Taiping Army, who stayed on the border between Shaanxi and Hubei for a few months, believes that he will have a chance to retaliate in the future!

At that time, he will make everyone regret what they did today!

Lu Youxiong is such a villain who will be revenged. In fact, in history, he did even more excessively, completely **, without the slightest human taste!

……

"Rich!"

Liu Xian couldn't close his mouth with joy. He didn't expect that Zhang Shoudai, a sub-patrol platform with elbows at both ends of Hanzhong, would be able to take out so much inventory in the current dilapidated situation in southern Shaanxi!

There are 20,000 taels of silver alone, Liu Xian's military salary, rewards, and pensions don't have to worry about it anymore, 500 shotguns, 30 guns, and all of them are new-style flintlock guns, which is really commendable, you must know that there are thousands of shotguns in Liu Xianam's team, none of them are flintlocked.

10,000 catties of gunpowder, saltpeter and sulfur, also alleviated the big problem of the shortage of gunpowder in Liu Xian like timely rain.

In other words, saltpeter is really not a big problem in Hanzhong, here since the pre-Qin period is a major production area of saltpeter in China, large and small saltpeter mines are distributed in the mountains, not only many but also high quality. The main reason for the shortage of gunpowder in Liu Xian is sulfur!

There are also sulfur mines in Hanzhong, but as early as the early years of the rise of the Taiping Army, they were first supervised and then supervised by the government. No matter how corrupt and incompetent the Qing government was, it knew that sulfur and saltpeter were military supplies, and compared with the number of saltpeter mines, sulfur mines were much less in Hanzhong, and they were directly caught by the government.

Since Liu Xian crossed, he has made many preparations, and only two or three thousand catties of sulfur have been raised, and the gunpowder produced has only been twenty or thirty thousand catties. The second battle of Liulin Town and the battle of rescuing Baocheng, the two battles were enough for him to choke.

A large number of shotguns were added to the army, which made Liu Xian's army grow sharply in strength, and the amount of gunpowder also increased in a straight line. Seeing that he was anxious and happy.

In addition, there are four thousand-pound general cannons, I don't know how many years old antiques they are, but Liu Xian doesn't dislike them. Plus 20,000 catties of pig iron, which Hanzhong can't find anywhere to buy now!

Iron is a very popular and sought-after commodity in Hanzhong, and Liu Xian is happier to see them than to see the four generals' cannons. With this iron, he could cast Napoleonic cannons.

A twelve-pound cannon was not needed, a six-pounder Napoleonic cannon would do. Although the material is changed from bronze to cast iron, the performance life will be greatly affected. But with them, in the future, why would Liu Xian be afraid to fight a field battle with Li Lanyi's army with heavy artillery?

You must know that the 6,000 jin and 8,000 jin heavy guns made by the Qing army, with the ** that has not progressed for hundreds of years, the range is not necessarily as strong as Napoleon's small cannon.

Great Napoleon gun, M1857 12-pounder field gun, barrel length 66 inches (1.676 m), 14.3 times caliber, caliber 117 mm, gun body weight 1227 lb (556.57 kg), left and right wheel diameter 57 inches (1.45 m), full weight (gun body, gun carriage plus wheels) weight 2445 lb (1109 kg). The full gun combination (all guns plus the front trailer and the attached ammunition box) weighed 3,865 pounds (about 1,750 kg).

Little Napoleon gun, M1841 6-pounder (2.54 kg) field gun, caliber 93mm, barrel length 1.52 meters, 16.3 times caliber, gun weight 389 kg.

The Napoleon cannon, like most guns of the period, fired solid, explosive, shotgun, and shrapnel shells!

Liu Xian could draw any detail of the Napoleonic cannon with his eyes closed, because this Napoleonic cannon recorded an unprecedented humiliation for him, and it can be said that it is one of the important components of the history of bullying in his previous life.

-- That is, Liu Xian, who was still a pure and innocent at that time, mixed up and spoke in the book review area of a certain historical novel, but he confused Napoleon's cannon with the beautiful girl that Napoleon praised and threw him home. caused an unknown number of onlookers, and the account at that point was invalidated.

Whenever he recalled this scene, Liu Xian was embarrassed with a red face and a thick neck, and while he felt sorry for the idiocy he was back then, he also felt a great shame in his life.

Shameful and courageous, he touched the size of the Napoleon cannon in detail, so now he has the confidence to cast the Napoleon cannon. Of course, it is also because the Napoleonic twelve-pounder gun, which was finalized and produced in 1857, still belongs to the category of smoothbore guns, and the overall technical content does not exceed the scope of the words "iron molded guns". The cast iron Napoleon cannon is at most a cut worse in performance and life, and compared with the cast cannon of the Qing army in the same period, Liu Xian dares to boast of Haikou - still absolutely ahead.

October 17 of the first year of Tongzhi, Yunyang, Hubei.

For Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Xing'an, Nanyang and other prefectures and counties, Yunyang is a young city and geographical term, in December of the twelfth year of Ming Chenghua (1476), Yunxian County was carved out from the capital state of Xiangyang Prefecture, upgraded to a prefecture, named "Yunyang", and Yunyang Mansion was officially opened. It has only been 385 years since then.

In 385, for a person, even the bones have long been turned to ashes. For a family, the ups and downs may not be able to remember who the ancestors were, and for a dynasty, it can go through the creation to the fall! But for history, this is just a trend.

The 385-year-old Yunyang Mansion is very young!

However, the young Yunyang Mansion is by no means fragile, how many revolts of displaced people broke out from here in the Ming and Qing dynasties?

The Qing court was stationed in Yunyang Town, Yunyang, Shaanxi Shaanxi Town, and Nanyang Town, Henan Province, which were separated by heavy troops. The Green Camp of the Three Towns and the heavy troops of Jingzhou and Xiangfan not far away are like a stretching mountain, suppressing the resistance of the people below.

The Qing court thought that it would be able to sit back and relax, but it did not know that once the accumulated anger erupted, it would be even more terrifying.

Previously, Chen Decai entered southern Shaanxi from this, and when he came, there were only 30,000 or 40,000 people, and when he went out, there were as many as 100,000 people. Now the Taiping army and the Xi'an general Duolonga [former Jingzhou general] have been fighting on the Shaanxi-Hubei border for many months, and the number of people has not decreased at all, but has increased by another 100,000.

At the head of Yunyang City, Duolonga looked at the Taiping Army joint camp outside the city, and couldn't see the head at a glance. He let out a long sigh.

"It's a big bandit."
