For such a major event as the formation of the Liang Army, Shangguan Ke can personally do it for Li Huaihui, and he must understand every detail.

Who knew that as soon as he built the Liang Army and arranged the recruitment, he left it alone and ran to the Ordnance Division all day long.

It's also like his character.

Li Huai went to the Ordnance Division, of course, to study weapons, and he planned to study cold weapons first.

After some comical operations, eighteen weapons samples were created, and it was finally found that the most suitable for infantry combat were spears and halberds.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver were wasted in vain.

But it is not unchanged at all, Li Huai changed the spear heads of the two wings to the Mitsubishi type, and the arrows of the archers also became three-winged diamonds.

The cavalry was armed with a swordsman, which was exactly the same as the one on his waist, and if the steel was hard enough, this type of knife was most suitable for cavalry combat.

They don't lack good steel at all, but they can't make special steel, which is not a breakthrough in technology, and it takes time to improve materials.

All walks of life need to reach a certain height, which is not possible today because they do not have enough theoretical support.

It was completely Li Huai's whims, some of which came true, and some of which couldn't.

Some may not be possible in a hundred years.

They have touched the barriers of this era.

Ordinary steel can't be made into a barrel because the steel is too hard and not malleable enough.

After a few shells, the barrel will crack or even explode.

Li Huai could only use the existing cannon as much as possible to increase its power on the basis of the existing cannon.

He abandoned the traditional solid and shotgun bullets and focused on exploding grenades.

There were also grenades in the world, but they were too powerful and were generally used to hit targets that were easy to ignite.

Li Huai's research found that there are many reasons for the problem, such as the caliber is too small, such as the purity of gunpowder is not enough, and the explosion time cannot be accurately controlled...... and so on.

The most important thing is the purity of gunpowder, in order to achieve the effect of a bang and a piece of damage.

You have to have smokeless gunpowder!

However, under today's conditions, it is simply impossible to produce the raw materials needed for smokeless gunpowder, high concentrations of nitric acid...... Wait.

After proving this, Li Huai almost completely gave up, without smokeless gunpowder, that kind of big killing weapon, it would be impossible to make it, even if it made a shape, it would not be used.

The rest of the research can be stopped.

But Li Huai was still unwilling, thinking about using the current gunpowder, with the technology of the world, plus his madness.

What can be made!

In the end, Li Huai got two super cannons!

A single cannon weighs more than 20 tons, the barrel can fit a person, the barrel is nearly 20 meters long, and the gun is 10 meters high.

These two cannons are named Liangzhou No. 1 and Liangzhou No. 2 respectively.

Liangzhou has two more mascots.

Although they were equipped with six pairs of wheels, and they used a two-wheel structure, they could be pulled by twenty oxen.

However, if the road is soft, or if they encounter a small hill, they will not be able to cross.

This is also the only cannon in the world that can attack beyond visual range, and those who have seen their power are all trembling!

But it doesn't work, it's a pity.

Ultimately.

Under the threat of Princess Shangguan's broken silver, Li Huaicai stopped his madness and returned to reality, still studying solid bullets and shotguns.

Recruited for half a year.

Finally, enough troops were gathered, more than 100,000, and the Liang army was professionalized, reaching 115,000 people!

Most of them have replaced the weapons produced in Liangzhou, and the missing parts are also being produced day and night by the Ordnance Division.

It is expected that within a year, all armies can be equipped with Liangzhou's self-produced weapons, but Yan Gaoyang's Shenwei Army may take two years to produce enough artillery.

Li Huai wrote a letter to Yang Lingyun, and after obtaining her consent, he organized a group of lieutenants and military attaches to be sent to the Great Wall to study.

On the side of the Ordnance Division, Li Huai didn't go often, and the cannons used by the Liang Army had been finalized, and the next thing was to produce them continuously.

As soon as he was free, he started to operate again, every soldier in the Liang Army, in addition to the armor worn in battle, must also add another set of military uniforms!

Shangguan Keke has the heart to strangle him, how can this guy be such a loser!

The night before yesterday, she didn't agree to the death, and the next morning Li Huai sorted out her clothes and came out of her yard and got the slip she opened.

this day.

Shangguan Keke and Lou Xiaowan were discussing in Shangguan's courtyard, when a vermilion figure suddenly came in.

"Who?"

Shangguan frowned, no one in the Taishou Mansion wore vermilion clothes, who was so bold and dared to break into her courtyard?

When the figure crossed the threshold, it entered the living room.

"Lord Wang?!"

Lou Xiaowan looked surprised, and glanced Li Huai up and down, when did the prince wear clothes other than white.

"What are you wearing here?" Shangguan was also a little surprised.

Li Huai smiled and opened his arms, turned around, and said, "This is the Liangjun military dress, is it good-looking?" ”

Military uniforms?

Shangguan Keke was stunned for a moment, remembering that Li Huai really wanted to do such a thing, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

The Liangjun military dress is designed based on the Chinese dress, but it is not as loose as the Chinese dress, but it looks very slim.

Black boots, white trousers, a scarlet dress, a white undergarment, a wide armed belt around the waist, and various buckles, which can hang swords and daggers, as well as maps.

There is also a red cape, which is not hung directly on the shoulders, but is propped up on the shoulders with leather.

Of course, the ribbon on the chest is indispensable.

It's really good-looking.

However, they are with Li Huai every day, no matter how good-looking he is, he is used to it, and clothes are at most embellishments for him.

So I don't feel very amazing, but I can be a little amazing, which is enough to prove that the Liangjun military dress has succeeded.

Li Huai found that they seemed to have something on their minds at this time, so he went over and hugged one of them with one hand, "What are you whispering?" ”

Shangguan Keke didn't hide it from him, raised the account book, and said resentfully: "This quarter's account is already beyond my means. ”

Li Huai was stunned, "This is impossible." ”

How can he believe in the business empire he has built and the society he has created, how can he make ends meet?

Shangguan Keke pointed with his hand, "Look at it yourself, buying iron and timber, building roads and cities, building and supplying military camps, which is a small amount." ”

was originally expected to be a maximum of 10 million taels, but Li Huai smashed in more than 20 million taels, spending almost all the money for a year.

Li Huai looked at it carefully, smiled easily, and said unconcernedly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and if you get through this while, the cost will be much smaller." ”

"Think about the worst in everything, if there is a war with the Western Regions one day, if one day it is restricted by the imperial court, and the economy is not reversed before this, then it really can't be reversed." Shangguan Keke rolled his eyes and said.

Li Huai didn't think about these things, she thought about them all for him, is it easy to take care of such a big Liangzhou.

He still looks like he doesn't care about himself.

How did you marry such a villain!

She felt that the peasant women were much happier than herself, and at the same time, those peasant women also envied her.

War with the Western Regions is unpredictable and inevitable.

But.

"What do you mean by imperial court restrictions?" Li Huai asked.

"The imperial court will not let us make all the money, for more than a year, we have made a lot of silver while the imperial court is not alert, and if we make a lot of money, some people will naturally be red-eyed." Shangguan Coco explained.

Li Huai didn't have any power in the imperial court, and naturally no one would speak to him in the imperial court, all thinking about how to suppress him.

It's a shame that Li Qian didn't get old and dizzy, and he didn't easily listen to slander, otherwise, the goods from Liangzhou would not have been able to leave Liangzhou at all.

But there are also various restrictions, such as the price at which some goods must be sold, such as certain goods, which must be sold in designated areas.

Especially in the market south of the Yangtze River, Shangguan Coco has made countless attempts by the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, but it has never been able to do business south of the Yangtze River.

With such a restriction in the Central Plains, you can imagine how difficult the future will be.

If you want to break the game, Li Huai can't be too arrogant, don't look at people with your nostrils, and go out to make some friends.

Gather some connections.

Shangguan Keke touched Lou's small bowl with his elbow at this time.

Lou Xiaowan reacted, and pretended to say unintentionally: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Yan said some good things, otherwise we would really have a hard time." ”

King Yan?

"Fourth uncle? He said good things to me? "Li Huai didn't believe it so much, his four princes didn't know much.

Among all the princes, the presence of the four princes is the lowest.

How low is it?

The fourth prince was named King of Yan several years ago, and he should have gone to Yan Land to be sealed, but he stayed in the capital.

For so many years, almost no one has mentioned it.

Li Huai was crowned king when he arrived, and in just one night, he couldn't drag it out for even a day, but King Yan dragged it out for several years.

"Regardless of whether people have false intentions or good intentions, they have always spoken for you, and if you owe them a favor, you can also express it a little."

"If it doesn't work, then it's okay if you don't contact you in the future."

Shangguan didn't wait for Li Huai to find an excuse to prevaricate, so he arranged everything, and he just had to carry it out.

Li Huai really didn't want to deal with his uncles, all of them were one hundred and eighty hearts, and it was too tiring to play with them.

But I was afraid that Shangguan would be angry, saying that she was idle and didn't care about anything, so she would bully her, and she would be like a maid.

Li Huai decided to give it a try, just to try, if the fourth uncle wanted to let himself support him as the emperor, he would definitely not do it!
