Now, Zhao Yuyang's status and I have improved extremely quickly.

Why? Because our arrival changed everything. Without us, there is no hope for the Inner Court; With us, there is no hope for the Outer Dynasties.

Not only the inner court and the forbidden army are grateful to us, but also the 20 million people in the Great Chang'an District are grateful to us. Half a year before us, they lived like hell!

They lived in heaven before this year, with privileges, wealth and taxes, free electricity, but all of a sudden, they had nothing, no electricity, no fuel, no food, no security, no status......

They are like dogs domesticated from wolves, and when they are kicked out of their homes by their owners, they are left with nothing but death. There are 20 million dogs in the Greater Chang'an area, since you have the benefits of being a dog, you must accept the price of being a dog - there is a beginning and an end, and there is a cause and effect.

The people in the Greater Chang'an area are used to being comfortable, and they always wear single clothes in winter, and there is not even a quilt in the house. Because heating is so simple, plugging a ball of wire into the electric door is an electric heater. No matter how poor you are, you can still afford a ball of wire, right?

They also never light a fire to cook, and all use their "electric heaters" to cook - here's an interesting plot: the rich people in Chang'an only eat wood-fired steamed buns, never eat electrically baked steamed buns, and the rich people in Luoyang are completely opposite, they only eat electrically roasted steamed buns, not wood-fired steamed buns: because "only eat expensive ones and don't eat the right ones".

Chang'an people never burn soybean oil lamps, and every household lights up the bulbs every day. The workers heat the sand at high temperature to make glass, and then blow the glass into a vacuum bottle, and insert bamboo charcoal wire into the bottle to make a light bulb. When this kind of bulb is lit, it is bright, red and hot, which can not only illuminate, but also heat, how great!

However, their good days came to an abrupt end on January 10 of the fifth year of Honghua in the Ming Dynasty, because on this day Liu Xingchao and Li Feiyu fled back to Chang'an from the Central Plains with 50,000 remnants of the forbidden army.

After a short confrontation, Zheng Xuangong, the highest commander of the forbidden army left behind in Chang'an and the third person in the forbidden army, the deputy supervisor of the forbidden army, took 300,000 forbidden troops to Liu Xingchao. When they were booing together, Lin Anfu, the commander of the First Army, betrayed them, and he ordered the Royal Arsenal and the Royal Power Plant to be blown up, and then took 20,000 men of the First Army to hide in the palace.

Winters in Gyeonggi are as cold as hell. The people of Chang'an were so hot that they were bare-chested the first night, and the room temperature dropped directly to minus 20 degrees the next morning! I don't know how many people froze to death overnight, and almost all the livestock died. Chang'an City, Chang'an County, and Xi'an County froze to death. Because there were a lot of people there, and people were not like the people of other poor counties who could burn wood, straw and other things.

Many people also froze to death in the palace. The palace maids originally wore silk underwear every day all year round, how could they stand this kind of formation of minus 20 degrees! In the first few days, the palace maids died a lot, and their bodies could not be transported (because Liu Xingchao was leading people to fight up), so they had to be thrown down from the palace floor. The Jiulong Lake below also froze into thick ice, and the body of the palace maid fell directly on the ice, crumbling into a pulp, mixed with a layer of royal carp on the lake. There are also electric heaters at the bottom of Jiulong Lake, which can ensure that the temperature of the lake is above 26 degrees all year round, but now there is no electricity, and the lake water is all frozen into ice mounds, and the royal carp naturally freeze to death.

Speaking of the Imperial Palace, I have to say that the Daming Imperial Palace is really a miracle place.

Liu Xingchao ordered tens of thousands of forbidden troops to storm the palace, which took half a year, sacrificed the lives of thousands of forbidden soldiers, and consumed countless bullets and grenades, but only laid down 70 floors, which was far from the 200-story headquarters of the Senate.

Later, the Praetorian Army was demoralized, low on ammunition, and the pace of the offensive became slower and slower, and even repeatedly fought.

Lin Anfu was not in a hurry at all, so he slowly consumed it with Liu Xingchao. The food and water sources in the palace are not a problem, and there are enough reserves for 100,000 people for decades. Although there is no electricity, it is colder in winter, so it is better to wear more clothes.

Liu Xingchao hit it with a tank, bombarded it with a cannon, and blew it up with explosives, but the main body of the palace did not move at all, except for blowing up the decoration such as wallpaper, lamps, ceilings, etc., not even a glass wall could be blown up.

Liu Xingchao even thought of using thick smoke, and even used the poison gas in stock, but the palace was very well sealed, and it was useless except to smoke and poison his own people.

Lin Anfu also threw down feces, urine and garbage from time to time to insult Liu Xingchao, and sometimes threw down a live chicken to provoke, telling him that the people above could afford it.

Liu Xingchao and Li Feiyu were so angry that they jumped to their feet, but there was no way at all.

This time the power plant was repaired, and electricity came from the palace.

The upper 130 floors were well preserved and brightly lit, while the 70 floors below were in ruins and pitch black, as the Forbidden Army was beating up layer by layer, and bullet grenades had blown every light bulb to pieces.

After the power was restored, Liu Xingchao ordered the power to be cut off from the palace. But the forbidden army couldn't find the cable! The cables are all wrapped in the walls and no amount of explosives can be exploded. Zhao Yuyang wanted to cut off the power supply of the palace from the root, but the Chang'an power grid was too complicated, and he couldn't understand which cable belonged to the palace after watching it for a long time. He tried to cut other cables many times, and the power in other areas was gone, but the palace was still lit.

In the end, Zhao Yuyang scratched his head and said: "This seems to be a balanced mesh system, and any electricity will be supplied to the palace first, and it will be cut constantly!" Unless we turn off the power plant, then we won't have any power. ”

When the palace called, Lin Anfu became more and more arrogant, illuminating the entire Chang'an with a searchlight all day long, and insulting Liu Xingchao with an electric horn.

According to the people in the secret department, they even used telegraphs to contact the imperial court in Qicheng.

Liu Xingchao was furious and ordered all factories to step up arms production.

As long as the forbidden army returns to its former strength, no one can resist. The explosives in the arsenal are infinite, and the palace is only two hundred floors, so I don't believe the palace can stop it.

Many people came to learn techniques from me, although everyone was ordered by Liu Xingchao, but I guess some of them wanted to be for themselves, some were instructed by the above, and some might be spies from other dynasties, who knows!

Of course, I don't want to pass on the skills to them, and teach the apprentices to starve the master to death. I think that even if I teach them, I must leave a few points that I cannot teach.

But I thought too much, because even if I tried so hard to teach them, this crap wouldn't have learned—they were all idiots.

Their minds are full of wrong thoughts, and their minds are full of Heavenly Dao, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, the Five Elements, True Qi, the Five Elements, Miracles, Imperial Power, Perpetual Motion, Morality, Justice, Truth, and so on.

They could hear every word of everything I said, but they couldn't understand it at all, and it was as if we were people from two worlds, and we saw completely different worlds.

I am the human world, and they are the insect world.

For example, if I put a cannonball on the ground, I know its force, its material composition, its manufacture, its launch, its landing.

But when they see a cannonball on the ground, they will say that the cannonball is made by a god, and the warhead is cold, and it is made of gold, and it absorbs the yin energy of the ground; The explosives inside the cannonballs are thermal, made of the earth element, and absorb the yang energy of the heavens; The warhead and explosives are mixed together to form a cannonball, which illustrates the correctness of the way of yin and yang, the way of men and women, the way of heaven, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism; The manufacture, launch, and landing of cannonballs are all controlled by the gods and the emperor, as long as the heart is loyal, kowtow more, pray more, sacrifice more, and make more offerings, cannonballs can kill people.

I angrily told them that I had made this shell, and they immediately turned around and reported me for rebellion! This bunch of rubbish! These people are all from Wenju, and they are the smartest and most knowledgeable of the 4 billion people in the Ming Dynasty! Even they are like this, so you can see who the others are!

Therefore, if I teach this knowledge to Zhao Yuyang, I will only need three days—and these three days are still the ones I procrastinate; If I had taught that bunch of waste, it would probably have taken me hundreds of years.

I had to spend 200 years purging them of all their pseudo-knowledge, and then they would be ignorant people, like newborn babies; Then I teach them for another 20 years, and they have the basics; In the end, I spent three more days teaching them.

So what am I doing with this? I might as well just teach the children directly, the children are more knowledgeable than this group of Wenju people! Because no knowledge is better than being full of pseudo-knowledge.

But I also think that it is useless, every innocent and lovely baby will become a layman with a brain full of feces after twenty years.

This is destiny, and I can't resist it.

Therefore, although Liu Xingchao found many people to learn from me, I also taught them seriously, and after teaching, they also claimed to have learned it, but none of them learned it. One can only learn what he can learn. They can make explosives in my dynamite factory, but if one day the dynamite factory blows up, they won't be able to make a gram of dynamite.

In short, although there is a lot of waste in Chang'an, there is more waste outside the border, so now the situation has slowly tilted towards the forbidden army.

With electricity, the fuel plant has increased its production efficiency countless times, and large quantities of soybeans have been turned directly into gasoline and diesel.

The explosives factory, iron factory, and copper factory were all running at full capacity, and although the barrels and other barrels could not be produced, bullets, shells, and grenades had already piled up.

Liu Xingchao frantically expanded the army, and all men between the ages of 16 and 60 near Chang'an were incorporated into the Chang'an army.

There are millions of these people, and they haven't even killed chickens before, how can they kill people? And they were all forcibly pulled, and the forbidden army was all voluntary, so the difference in combat effectiveness between them was a world of difference.

But it doesn't matter, if you can't fight, you can pull the baggage, if you can't pull the baggage, you can work in the rear, and if you can't work, you can be a human shield.

Isn't this how this world fights?
