"How many soldiers and horses can be taken!"

Chu Feng looked at Gan Ning and asked.

"10,000 sailors are enough!" Gan Ning pondered slightly, he was thinking about how many people he could use, after all, there were only 30,000 water divisions, although Chu Feng also began to expand the number of water divisions

But the sailors are not like infantry, and the training of the sailors will be very slow.

With 30,000 people, we still have to ensure the safety of the Yellow River Valley, and we also have to inspect the Yangtze River and Huai River, and the troops are stretched, and it should be the limit to be able to transfer 10,000 people.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chu Feng only asked to make these three places only appendaged, and use their own currency as the settlement unit, so it is not too difficult.

Surrendering to him will still allow those people to do it!

"I'll give you 15,000 people, and after Sanhan takes it, it will be changed to Hanzhou, which will be the fourteenth affiliated state and county of my Han Dynasty, and all the currencies of the Han Dynasty will be used as the settlement system."

Chu Feng immediately said loudly.

In addition to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty itself, Chu Feng was going to make a bunch of subordinate states and counties, which belonged to the subject states, depended on the Han and settled in currency.

"The last general ordered to ensure that the Han flag was planted on the palace of King Sanhanchen and made them bow down!" Gan Ning was excited, watching other generals make war exploits every day, he was also anxious!

"Prepare to set off again on the next day, remember, everything is based on my life, in the future, I will have many opportunities to sail away, and I still need to expand my territory for you!"

Chu Feng looked at Gan Ning solemnly and said.

"Don't worry, the lord will stay in this useful body to expand the territory of the Lord and establish a foundation!" Gan Ning's heart is surging, he has long wanted to expand the territory for Chu Feng!

"That's very good, by the way, in the future, I will find out more about the current situation of the Japanese Kingdom, and when I have the opportunity, I will personally go to the island of the Japanese Kingdom and destroy it."

A touch of coldness flashed in Chu Feng's eyes,

That was the anger of the Chinese people against the Wa State in their bones, the country hated the family feud, and Chu Feng wanted to kill those beasts in advance.

"No!" Gan Ning nodded, but said with curiosity: "Lord, you just said that you will control it with currency, but you also said that the Japanese country is going to be destroyed?" ”

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter if the other countries are controlled, they can all be controlled by currency, but the Wa Kingdom, not to mention killing them all, at least they must be killed, and then they will be reduced to labor with shackles,"

"They're not human, they're just brutes!"

Everyone was stunned, it was the first time they had seen Chu Feng so angry, and they were all curious about what this Wa Kingdom had done to make Chu Feng so angry.

Of course, there are some things that are hard to say directly,

Chu Feng only knew that although this country was small, the heart of the dead summer would not die, and what Chu Feng wanted to do was to make this country disappear completely and restrict their reproduction.

These people do not deserve offspring,

"No!" Gan Ning nodded, he was so rare that Chu Feng was angry, he was also very concerned about this matter, since the country of the Japanese country offended his boss, then be ready to be destroyed!

"Okay, let's not mention that unfortunate place, he will become the fifteenth state of the Han Dynasty in the future, don't think about it." Chu Feng waved his hand, and his mood was a little more relaxed.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, Chu Feng had great ambitions!

"Lu Su, keep an eye on the recruitment of the navy, although the navy is useless now, but the navy will be the main combat force of our army in the future, and we must build a navy."

Chu Feng said solemnly,

The ugly country can dominate the world, and the most important thing is that it has enough warships at all levels, and it can fight anywhere in the world if it wants to, and this is where he is awesome.

"No!" Lu Su nodded in response.

"Recently, there has been news from Cao Cao's side in Chang'an?" Chu Feng looked at Jia Xu and asked.

"Back to the lord, there has been no news yet, since Cao Cao announced in a high-profile manner that he would send troops to Luoyang, there is no news, it is estimated that he is ready to send troops to Yizhou at this moment."

Jia Xu immediately replied.

"Heh, I guess he's waiting for me, I haven't made a move, he doesn't dare to send troops for the time being, so make a move, the three armies are ready to assemble and go north, and inform Zhao Fan and Xu Shu that they are ready to enter Yizhou,"

The corners of Chu Feng's mouth hooked, this Cao Cao didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, and he didn't dare to act rashly if he didn't show up, after all, if his main force didn't go north, it would be too much of a problem!

"No!" Lu Su nodded.

Everyone also chuckled, and finally there was movement.

As far as Chu Feng is concerned, he is not in a hurry to dominate the world now, once he dominates a lot of various things, in this state, it is good to first intensively cultivate Hefei, and then radiate the Central Plains.

Step by step, steady and steady!

"Yizhou Fazheng, have they ever spread the news?" Chu Feng asked again, Fa Zheng is a great talent, if he sacrifices because he seeks to benefit the state, it will be too cost-effective.

"Back to the lord, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song are mediating as much as possible, but Liu Zhang obviously also saw the intentions of the two, if it weren't for Cao Cao looking around, I'm afraid Liu Zhang would have killed the two of them a long time ago!"

Jia Xu stroked his beard, with a somewhat difficult expression.

"Tell them that if they can't do anything, they can always leave." Chu Feng immediately said.

"No!" Jia Xu nodded.

"Lord, it's done, it's done!" Just as everyone was talking, Zhuge Liang rushed over, without the demeanor of a scribe, but with a bit of madness.

"What has it become?" Chu Feng got up and asked urgently.

"Gunpowder, gunpowder has become, according to the ratio you gave me, plus this period of pondering, it is already possible to ignite the explosive device with gunpowder."

Zhuge Liang was excited, that kind of joy no one could understand,

It was so shocking, he really didn't know how to describe it in words.

"Let's go, let's go over and have a look!" Chu Feng was instantly interested, he didn't do a good job of this thing anyway, although it was not difficult, but Zhuge Liang's victory was indeed good news.

Immediately, Chu Feng took Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Zhang Zhao, Jia Xu, Lu Su and others to the courtyard where Zhuge Liang used for research and development.

After a while, in the courtyard.

The courtyard was full of wreaks, including many potholes caused by explosions, some large and some small, and it was obvious that Zhuge Liang had tested it I don't know how many times before it succeeded.

"Lord, look!"

Zhuge Liang was very excited to take out an iron can provided for him by the artisan battalion, which had already been filled with explosives, and only one lead was exposed.

"How do you use this thing?" Chu Feng asked.

"My lord, this thing is like a fierce fire oil, ignited first, and then sent into the opponent's city wall with a catapult, etc., so that an explosion occurs, and the explosion of this iron can will bring out countless pieces of iron to kill the enemy."

Zhuge Liang hurriedly explained.

"It's a good idea, but it's a rather outdated way to light the fuse and throw it, and now there are many lathes in the factory, which can be used to produce some high-precision things,"

"You can completely dispense with a catapult, and use a convenient and easy-to-carry barrel, also called a mortar, where you need to slide the shell into the barrel and then hit the primer with a firing pin to form a propulsion force and shoot the shell out,"

"It's the same as the bullet I told you before, pull the trigger and hit the primer with the firing pin to form propulsion, but the bullet uses penetrating force, and the cannonball is the amount of gunpowder to kill the enemy."

"Do you think so?" Chu Feng looked at Zhuge Liang and said what he knew, he really hoped that Zhuge Liang could study it quickly.

"Lord, but you don't need to start the fire, how can the shell be detonated after it is fired?" Zhuge Liang looked at Chu Feng curiously, with a little puzzlement.

"There is a barrel firing pin in the tail, and the head can also be set with a trigger fuse, as long as the warhead hits the ground, it can also be detonated, so isn't it?"

Chu Feng explained.

To put it bluntly, thermal weapons are not difficult to put it bluntly, what can be fought is the degree of industrialization,

In the case of mortars, a barrel, a base, a gun carriage, and then two leads of the shell, the primer touches and fires but the ground explodes.

Of course, there is an additional insurance step in between.

Otherwise, it is estimated that the shells will kill a bunch just in the process of transportation.

Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought, digesting what Chu Feng said, he understood more and more what this thing meant, it was nothing more than using the characteristics of gunpowder to form a blow.

"Lord, I probably understand!"

"But this thing can be complicated, not only does it take time, but I also need the latest lathe to be fully available for me to use and try to figure it out!"

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice, with confidence.

"Yes, time is not a problem, not only the lathe, but even the entire artisan battalion you can call at will, what I want is the result, the principle is very simple!"

Chu Feng looked at Zhuge Liang solemnly, in fact, it was quite difficult for Zhuge Liang, firearms are fighting for industrialization, although he has a lathe at the moment, but whether he can build a mortar is not a matter of words.

"Hmm!" Zhuge Liang nodded,

"Now that you're here, let me take a brief look at it!" Zhuge Liang said, also let the tiger guard grab the iron ball, and then ignited the outer lead.

Everyone watched with anticipation,

They've never seen this thing before,

This was developed by Zhuge Liang, and it is indeed awesome.

The tiger guard threw the iron ball and threw it in an open space, and everyone also bowed their heads in amusement, all hiding behind sandbags, showing some anticipation.

Just listen!

Boom!

The voice frightened the people,

Good fellow, how lethal something is so small? And around the clearing in the distance, Zhuge Liang also tied a lot of leather armor, and everyone stepped forward, filled with gunsmoke,

There are many shrapnel sticks on the leather armor around them.

Zhang Zhao: "??? ”

Lu Su: "??? ”

Tian Feng Jia Xu and others: "??? ”

Looking at the deep pit in the distance, and the place where the smoke was rising, everyone was horrified, this thing was made by Zhuge Liang? I was shocked in my heart, there was this thing in Cao Cao Yuan Shao still counting on his face to win?

Good guy, if this thing is mass-produced, it is estimated that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will be directly confused, right?

What the hell is this, it's too strong, this explosion, just make some catapults, even if Cao Cao is cowering in Guanzhong, it is estimated that it will not work!

Zhang Zhao wiped his cold sweat even more,

Chu Feng really couldn't be offended, this person was too rebellious, he knew too many things, Zhuge Liang was just a hairy boy, and it only took a long time to get these things under Chu Feng's guidance, which was outrageous.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything stupid at the beginning,

If you go against Chu Feng, you will definitely die a miserable death.

Everyone also thought of some of the things Chu Feng said earlier, missiles that can strike for hundreds of miles, flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, running on the ground, etc.

The more they thought about it, the more wrong it was for everyone to look at Chu Feng,

What Chu Feng knew obviously didn't belong to this world, could it be that he was really sent down by heaven to save the Great Han? Where else did he know about it?

You know, these things have never been in a big man's hands,

There have been no places in Rome and other places, and Chu Feng knows a lot of things as if he knows them out of thin air.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other, but they all chose to be silent, they didn't dare to inquire about this kind of thing, after all, this must be Chu Feng's secret.

"The power is not bad, with the help of manpower projection, the idea is also very good, Kong Ming, you can also think about a portable grenade thrown by hand later."

"This is somewhat big, the portable grenade can be oval, so as to increase the force point, as for the shell, it can be sharp in front and elliptical in the back, reducing wind resistance!"

Chu Feng looked at the smoke in the distance, nodded, his expression was a little excited, and immediately taught Zhuge Liang a few words,

The only regret is that it can't be mass-produced at the moment, but Chu Feng has to get the standard out first, and it may be better to get it out and then mass production.

But in any case, the development of gunpowder is imminent, and he must get out of firearms, and only enough military force can stabilize his position.

As for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao,

Even if there was no gunpowder, Chu Feng was confident that he would kill the two of them, and now that this aspect was developed, it could only be said that the pace of unification would be accelerated, and Chu Feng was also curious about Cao Cao's reaction when they saw this thing.

"Well, that's what my subordinates mean!"

Zhuge Liang nodded, somewhat understanding.

Listening to Chu Feng's light tone, everyone couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths, what does it mean that the power is not bad? It's a fucking bunker, okay!

Sure enough, Chu Feng has seen the world!

"Kong Ming, this thing is a secret among secrets, all data must be strictly guarded, and you yourself must always pay attention, gunpowder is extremely dangerous, and the test can be handed over to the people below to do!"

Chu Feng said earnestly.

"Lord, with this thing, maybe the army under Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will be defeated." Jia Xu stroked his beard, looked at the piercings on the armor around him, and said in shock.

"Yes, my lord, this thing is far more powerful than fierce fire oil and other things, I'm afraid Cao Cao will be dumbfounded when he sees it, he has never seen this thing!"

Zhang Zhao pursed the corners of his lips and immediately responded.

He could think of Cao Cao's expression after seeing this thing.

Everyone is also eager to try, if this thing can be mass-produced, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will rule the whole world just around the corner, and the power is really amazing.

"Cao Cao Yuan Shaoer, don't worry, it's just a dying struggle, how can I ever take them to heart, the big man is destined to go further in my hands."

"Where the sun and the moon shine, the rivers are all Han soil, and the banner of the Han Dynasty will surely fly throughout the world, and all nations will come to court." Chu Feng said loudly, with a bit of heroism!

Everyone is also looking forward to it,

"Lu Su, the research and development of firearms is the top priority, we must ensure all the expenses of Kong Ming's daily research, and increase the training of craftsmen in great powers,"

"And Kong Ming, too, train more craftsmen, they will all be the pillars of the country in the future and contribute to the Han Dynasty's ascent to the top of the world."

Chu Feng looked at Zhuge Liang and solemnly explained.

Although the principle of the artillery shell is simple, the internal mechanism is very complex, and the requirements for industrialization are particularly high, and it is too difficult to quickly mass produce.
