Huang Yuan was defeated.

The defeat was so abrupt, and Pu Yuan, who was so abrupt that he was depressed, couldn't use this battle example to evaluate those battlefield "gadgets" at all.

Before they could even use all the test equipment, they were defeated.

But it was also completely unexpected by Wu Yi.

These soldiers who were coerced into rebellion had no fighting spirit, and all they needed was an excuse, an excuse that would not be liquidated against them even if there was really a mess in the DPRK and China.

Many low-level soldiers may be numb and thoughtless, but they also have their own cunning.

"The general has an order, and those who surrender will not be killed! Only the first evil will be punished, and the rest will not be investigated! ”

When Wu Yi gave the order to shout this deadly slogan, the little remaining will of the rebels to resist also collapsed, and they fell to their knees and asked for surrender.

When the army escorted the captives back to the city, the Linqiong County Order immediately opened the city gate and led the crowd to greet them.

"Congratulations to the general, with such a loss, a great chaos will be eliminated invisibly, and Your Majesty will be happy after his victory." Ren Xianling smiled.

The tactics can achieve the expected results, Wu Yi is also very pleased, and recently his cold and serious face has returned to the previous smile: "Thanks to Captain Pudu's new weapon, I have to be very strong!" ”

Pu Yuan, who was still frustrated that he had not been able to fully test the new gadgets, immediately waved his hand when he heard this: "Don't dare, don't dare, this 'flying musket' still has many shortcomings, and this big victory depends on the soldiers' lives." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yi looked at Pu Yuan's regretful expression and said curiously: "This is flying...... Flying muskets? It is already wonderful to suddenly breathe fire and scare the enemy army in the middle of a battle, but this is not enough? ”

Pu Yuan sighed and shook his head silently.

For this strange person picked up by the prince, Wu Yi has also heard of it, and it is not strange.

Wu Yi and Yang Hong did not stay here for long, and after sending people to Chengdu to report the news, they led their troops to continue to Hanjia County......

Since you dare to rebel, you must bear the consequences of the failure of the rebellion, and someone will always shed blood and lose their heads in this matter.

By the way, I took advantage of this opportunity to reorganize and reshuffle Hanjia County.

How to do it and who should be promoted later, Liu Ba and other Shangshutai officials have already had a plan.

Wu Yi still has a lot to do.

As for these gadgets of Pu Yuan, it is also a by-product of the task left by the prince.

The prince always seems to have wild ideas, and before the Northern Expedition, the prince mentioned the shortcomings of coal in his letter - there are many impurities.

As a result, the subsequent filling needs to be repeated many times to remove impurities.

And some of the coal that can withstand further refining can be refined into something called "coke".

The coke itself removes most of the impurities, resulting in fewer impurities in the steel, which can significantly reduce the number of steps required to fill the steel and further improve production efficiency.

The coal mine found in the south is huge, and the coal that meets the coking standard has been explored by Pu Yuan and named it "bubble charcoal".

But the blast furnace for iron-making and steel-making did not seem to be very suitable for coking, and Puyuan needed to redesign a furnace specifically for cokemaking.

He had already designed a synopsis, and he handed over the subsequent refinement work to a group of blacksmiths under his command to study it.

And this is not the only project of Pu Yuan's "launch", the prince also said that "saltpeter, charcoal, stone flow yellow (sulfur)" is ground into powder, mixed in a certain proportion can be made into something called gunpowder.

According to the prince, the gunpowder ignited immediately when it caught fire, and the fireworks were so fierce that they could be used for a long time.

This can stump Pu Yuan, but it is not a matter of raw materials, between Mianzhu and Jiange, and on the bank of the adjacent Fushui, saltpeter is abundant.

Nanzhong has a large amount of stone flow yellow production, and now iron-making and steel-making have been changed to coal-burning, which has also saved a lot of charcoal.

You can say how much you want to use raw materials.

But the question is...... This sounds like a Taoist alchemy? How could he, Pu Yuan, understand this, and suddenly heard this request, he didn't know where to start.

But since it was a matter entrusted by the prince, he naturally would not slack off, and as soon as he combined with Wang Xianling, he simply let out the wind and recruited a large number of Taoist priests and warlocks who were good at alchemy in the name of the prince.

The unknown wild Taoist priests and Jianghu warlocks thought that the prince also asked for immortality and refined the elixir, and suddenly gathered with the dream of becoming a national teacher.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in Linqiong, he was thrown by Pu Yuan and Wang Xianling to study the best ratio of gunpowder.

The unlucky people who used to be idle clouds and wild cranes began to carry the dream of a national teacher day and night, and began to shine continuously for the cause of the revival of the Han Dynasty (physics).

In fact, gunpowder is not very difficult for Taoist priests who are good at alchemy, and they sometimes use it when they play tricks to deceive the villagers.

But it will take some time to achieve the desired effect in the prince's letter.

However, these semi-finished gunpowder, bamboo paper, which gradually became popular, were gradually developed by craftsmen who were enthusiastic about research.

There is no shortage of smart people in this land, only attention, benefits, and a platform to exert this ingenuity.

During his stay in Linqiong, Liu Chan not only paid great attention to the development of new smelting technology, but also attached great importance to the treatment and rewards of these craftsmen.

He is not a big scholar from an engineering background, and the characteristics brought by Pu Yuan are only limited to the way of forging, and if you want to obtain continuous improvement of the technology tree, you must rely on the establishment of a reward and punishment mechanism.

In addition to the original food and lodging of the craftsmen, Liu Chan also paid out of his own pocket and set up various awards such as "piece rate award" and "innovation award".

The rewards for these awards are only a drop in the bucket for Liu Chan, but they are quite attractive to craftsmen with low social status.

Flying muskets, thunder rockets, bamboo barrels and other objects were released one after another under the background of gunpowder beginning to take shape.

However, the power is still very low, and it is difficult to cause effective damage to people, and this time the flying musket equipped with Wu Yi's army is already the most powerful among them.

Pu Yuan was not satisfied with these things, but in the end, considering the prince's temperament, he decided to include them one by one.

……

At the same time, the court wiped out the three hidden families, and at the same time released the news of the assassination of the crown prince.

As the news gradually spread, the whole country was shaken, and the crown prince Liu Chan has now become an indispensable symbolic figure in the Liu Han court, just like Emperor Liu Bei, Guan Zhang, Zhao Zhuge and others.

The crown prince was assassinated in Chengdu in broad daylight, and at the same time, it was unbelievable that those forces who had deeply bound the interests of the family to the royal family and the imperial court were furious.

At the same time, there are many grassroots officials who are angry, and it is the salary reform proposed by the crown prince Liu Chan that has made their lives worryless.

Officials have come up to the stage, demanding a thorough investigation of the matter and digging deep for silverfish.

When the imperial court took advantage of the situation to announce the seditions of the family, all of which were Cao Wei's forces buried in the southwest, the crowd was angry for a while, and the cohesion of all walks of life was unprecedented.

It not only diluted the worries about the uncertain victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition, but also made some conservative forces who hoped to hold on to the southwest recognize the situation, but it was an unexpected joy of a blessing in disguise.

Liu Chan, who was far away in Longyou, didn't know that a rebellion in the rear had been eliminated.

It was also through this rebellion that was extinguished before it was launched that the internal opinions on the Northern Expedition were further integrated.

Of course, he didn't know that Liu Han's firearms development was advancing in a direction he didn't expect at a speed far beyond his imagination......

At this time, Liu Chan had already led the army to the end of the trip, the street pavilion.
