Tianhao received huge support from the people, and the next step was to divide and transfer the population of the entire Black Bull Department with Black Horn City as the core.

The 300,000 people who promised to be distributed to Yuan Meng and the sect must not be missing. Politics is dirty, but it must be honest. The practice of turning one's face and denying oneself after eating will only provoke public outrage, which is two different concepts from the support of civilians. Although Tianhao has a strong army as his backing, he still has to obey certain benchmark laws of this era.

Change doesn't happen overnight, it takes time, and it takes a change in people's mindset in every way.

The division and reorganization of the Black Cattle Division was very rapid. Yuan Meng and Zongyu, plus Tianhao, who was newly promoted to the regent, joined forces to arrest the nobles of the Black Bull Department as soon as possible. In less than half a day, the Black Bull Department lost all the officials with more than 10,000 heads. While 300,000 civilians were escorted out of their homes by the Raging Bull and Bison troops, teams from Rock City and Thunderhorn City also quietly settled in under the cover of night.

Tianhao's methods of dealing with the people are actually very simple———— army, food, and thinking guidance.

Survival is the first instinct of human beings, and in the face of sharp and shiny long knives and battle axes, civilians will be afraid and obey.

Hungry people are hard to be convinced, and moral justice is far less important to them than a piece of bread. Opening the granary of Pointe-Noire and increasing the winter food ration according to the number of households is the reason why the regent is better than the previous king in the eyes of the common people, and it is commendable.

Thinking guidance is a technical job, and the core issue is propaganda. Tianhao swept away the top level of the Black Bull Department and filled the entire power space with his own people. It is not enough to just stand on it and give orders, but it is necessary to go deep among the masses, listen to their sufferings, understand their needs, and solve problems at the root.

Two weeks have passed, and the Black Bull Department has completed the reorganization, and the cities and villages remain unchanged, and the new administrative areas are divided according to their respective locations. The "Neighborhood Office" and the "Community Residents' Committee" were new to the barbarians, who soon discovered that they were closely related to their daily lives, especially when it came to land division and work, and the grassroots officials from Rock City had absolute control.

One million Black Bull tribesmen, Tianhao divided 700,000.

Since then, there is no more Black Bull Division, and the core strength of the Cattle Clan has been completely replaced by the Thunder Cattle Division.

At night, Wu He walked into Tianhao's office.

For this regent younger than himself, Wu Ji's heart has always been full of awe, and he has a strong desire to work. For government affairs, Wu He has a strong ability to deal with it. He loves his current position, where he feels the joy of being in power, and the ability to participate and build, as well as the drive to change reality.

"Your Highness, the rectification of the Black Bull Department has been completed. The situation within the community is stable, and all those who disagree have been resolved. What do we do next? He knelt on the ground and asked respectfully.

Tianhao put a corrected document on the left side of the desk, looked at Wu Ji who was full of hope, and said with a smile: "You seem to have other ideas?" ”

Wu Ji's eyes revealed an excited and eager gaze: "We are very strong, we can destroy the deer clan without much effort." ”

Tianhao smiled faintly: "I knew you would say that." But...... Now is not the time. ”

"Why?" Wu didn't quite understand.

"Lu Qingxi has become smarter." Tianhao exhaled a long breath: "Eat a trench and grow wise, he is no longer the fool who can be dismissed with a few casual words in the past." From the patriarch to the deer king, he has seen the world and more or less understands my thoughts. Don't look at the Deer Clan now there are only about 600,000 people left, and the territory is only Buck City and Red Moon City, but their army has fought against the Tiger Clan, and the number of veterans is large, and the combat effectiveness is also strong. ”

Lu Qingxi was very vigilant. According to the news from White Deer City, as soon as the autumn harvest ended, Bucks City built fortifications on a large scale, especially the towers. Lu Qingxi knew that I would attack him sooner or later, so prepare in advance. ”

Wu nodded knowingly, and then flattered: "No matter how hard you try, it's useless." He is no match for you, Your Highness. ”

This innocuous flattery is just a gesture of kindness. Tianhao smiled and shook his head, "Having said that, the casualties that can be reduced are still avoided as much as possible. For a long time, we have been accustomed to sending troops in winter, because this time of year has no effect on farm work. Lu Qingxi is waiting for him in Bucks City, and we just bumped into it, it's not worth it! ”

Wu Ji agreed, "The situation in Pointe-Noire must be stable, and more time should be spent on this. ”

"Yes! Therefore, after all things considered, the matter of sending troops should wait and talk about it first. Tianhao set the tone for this matter: "Now I am fully preparing for spring ploughing, and I don't panic when I have food in my hands." As for the deer clan...... Bucks City is right there, and it won't run away on its own. It is difficult for the Tiger Clan to capture Red Moon City in a short period of time, and the Deer Clan is the fat meat that is placed in our mouths, and we can eat it whenever we want. ”

……

Cattle Territory, Rock City, Fishing Village, "Zoo".

Perias had a rifle in his hand and scrutinized it.

In the southern continent, the Church is not alienated from the worldly because of the divine detachment of the Holy Lord. On the contrary, the top of the Holy See attaches great importance to research projects of all kinds. However, all research must be based on the premise of "the guidance of the Holy Lord", in short, the research project must be prefixed with "Holy Lord XXX". Taking Migaal Potion No. 44, which Perias led before, as an example, from the establishment of the research project of the potion to the different types of branches in the later period, there is strict supervision from the high-level of the Holy See.

The Holy See is aware of the role of science in advancing the civilization of society as a whole, but this advancement is not entirely acceptable in the eyes of the Pope. The Holy See needed all the conveniences that science brings, such as advanced weapons, a better way of life, increased productivity, and thus increased wealth...... The improvement and evolution of civilization in these parts benefited the papal rule. However, there are also many negative factors caused by scientific research, and they can be a headache. The most typical of these is the natural sciences, which are absolutely forbidden. If everyone knew that the four seasons were clear because the earth revolves around the sun, and that the floods, droughts, and locusts were not caused by the anger of the Holy Lord due to the fact that there were too many sinners in this world, there would be no fear of the Holy See.

According to ancient texts, the original form of firearms was successfully developed by the Holy See, and after continuous improvement, it was finally shaped into today's arquebus. The principle of this weapon is simple, it is nothing more than using the impact force generated by the explosion of gunpowder to push a metal warhead forward inside the closed barrel to kill and injure the target.

Perias has always considered the arquebus to be an epoch-making weapon, especially in terms of power and convenience, far exceeding that of any cold weapon known today. At present, the armies of the southern countries have fully popularized arquebuses, but this has not completely abandoned cold weapons. Swords, sabers, spears, and hatchets were spare weapons for infantry, especially in large-scale engagements, where heavy shieldmen and spearmen had to form a defensive array in the front row to protect the arquebusiers behind.

Too many secrets fade with time.

People of this era have long forgotten history. They would never have known that as early as the 16th century, the German watchmaker and gunsmith Kifoss had invented a new firing device. To put it bluntly, it's just the process of flint rubbing to produce sparkling sparks, which in turn fire bullets. He combined the serrated rotary steel wheel of a clock with flint to develop the world's first revolving rifle.

With Perias's understanding and attainments in firearms, it is not difficult to see the various advantages of this flintlock pistol in his hand.

Compared with traditional arquebuses, the biggest advantage of flintlock is that it is not afraid of the weather and can shoot in any environment. Especially in rainy days, arquebuses cannot be used in the field, and flintlock pistols can overcome the troubles caused by rain. It is conceivable that two armies armed with different guns met in such a situation, and the results of the battle speak for themselves.

The appearance of the fixed ammunition shocked Perias. He never dreamed that there was such a terrible thing in the world———— soaked in tung oil with special strong and tough paper, dried to make a cylindrical shell, filled with gunpowder and metal bullets, and added a primer to the tail.

Tong Biao was instructed by Guo Tianhao that the Weapons Research Department opened the door to Perias. White clergy from the southern continent witnessed the production of bullets on a mechanical device called a lathe. From a series of processes such as oil-paper shell rolling, cutting, gunpowder packaging, sealing, etc., to the final finished product, the whole process is supervised by special personnel, and all kinds of technical personnel are meticulous and strictly follow the production process.

In the words of Tong Biao: "The production of bullets must not be sloppy, the caliber of the musket and the ammunition must match, once there is an error, everyone in the entire production line will be punished." ”

"Production line", this is the new word invented by the young king. Perias has never been accustomed to the whole title of "Patriarch", and he stubbornly believes that "King" is more in line with Tianhao's identity. In fact, his status is now more noble than before, and he has surpassed ordinary kings, and is the regent of the entire Niu clan.

With emotion and awe, Perias put down the rifle in his hand and picked up another gun on his desk.

It was more than a third longer than the previous one.

It's a magical repeating rifle. The infrastructure doesn't make much difference, it's all about the bullets. It was a practice of five rounds being loaded in advance, with the front and back of the cartridges spaced out from each other, and the powder wires connected to each other in the middle. When firing, the first bullet is fired, and the medicine rope automatically ignites to trigger the second bullet to be fired, and the sequence is backwards, and so on, and the fire is automatically continuous.

Five-bullet burst at one time...... Perias's scalp tingles just thinking about it. When the number of soldiers using this firearm reaches a certain size, it is completely possible to form a terrible metal storm on the battlefield.

Of course, the flaws of this rifle are also obvious, once fired, all the filled bullets are uncontrollable, and they are fired at once. The time to reload is much longer than that of a normal rifle, and the chamber of the gun is opened to bury the powder line...... In short, as an ingenious weapon, its advantages and disadvantages are outstanding, depending on how it is used.

The problem is that these two terrible weapons are from the hands of barbarians. Regardless of whether it was invented or manufactured, Perias was not involved, acting as a bystander throughout the whole process.

For him, the size of these guns was too large, and it was more appropriate to call them "cannons" regardless of length or caliber.

If it weren't for the fact that he had undergone a spore transplant, Perias would not have known about their existence at all.

Perias tried to shove his finger into the muzzle of the gun. Index, middle, ring...... Three fingers were juxtaposed, barely filling the gap. Looking at the metal muzzle that bound his fingers, Perias couldn't help but shudder, a full thirty-five millimeter caliber, this weapon fired a bullet with incredible power, no matter what part of the human body hit, it would cause terrible damage.

This is, of course, referring to white Southerners.

As for the barbarians...... Perias shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, put down the gun in his hand, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the ground covered with thin snow outside the window, slightly distracted.

They are the masters of the northern continent, and they are evolving towards a highly civilized state. It is not appropriate to call them "savages", and if it were not for the long time they were imprisoned in the "zoo" after being captured, Perias would not have known the many secrets of the giants.

They seem to be a race of killers by nature, always being ingenious when it comes to inventing and making weapons. Perias had seen a weapon the size of a giant's fist, which the giants called a "grenade". The regular metal casing is made in stamping mode, and the surface is covered with large and small square-shaped prisms, which form a spherical shape. The inside of the grenade was filled with gunpowder, which was fired by pulling the ring and firing pin, and the explosion was quite powerful, with a radius of at least thirty meters.

These descriptions are barely accurate. Perias had seen giant soldiers throw grenades at the proving ground, but had never tried it himself. It was too big and too heavy for him, but the results of the experiment shocked Perias.

It is to insert dozens of wooden stakes into the ground, with the first one as the core, with a side length of one meter, to form equilateral triangles along different directions, and then expand to form a regular hexagon, and then continue to expand, and finally become an irregular circle with a diameter of about 100 meters.

A white man would be tied to each stake. They wore armor and helmets, and were slightly stronger than the regular armies of the Five Kingdoms in terms of style and protection.

Once the grenade detonates in the middle of these stationary crowds, casualties are instantaneous. Before the smoke cleared, the researchers, dressed in white uniforms and wearing masks, immediately entered the test site to collect data such as the radius of the explosion, the number of dead and wounded, and the condition of wounds, and then analyzed.

Perias knew that these researchers were witch practitioners.

He also knew that all the whites used for experimental consumption were from the southern part of the continent.
