Great Military Division

Chapter 395: Ambush the Fire and Thunder, Surprised the Civil and Military of the Manchu Dynasty!
Have to admit.

Since the imperial court arranged part of the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" into Xiang Xu's daily teaching, their calculation ability has been greatly improved, and addition and subtraction within a hundred will not be too difficult.

But
Liu Ba is obviously too modest. The calculation of the quality of coins involves a variety of conversion issues, which is definitely not something that a doll at the Xiangxu level can do.

Changing from plant to Liang is a 24-base system, changing from Liang to Jin is a hexadecimal system, changing from Jin to Jun is a [-]-base system, and changing from Jun to Shi is a wonderful quaternary system.

Even for a modern person, it is difficult to calculate such an base system, not to mention mental calculations. For the ancients, the difficulty is definitely at the level of nuclear bombs.

But even so, Liu Ba still easily completed the calculation, and after verification, it is very accurate, which is enough to prove how amazing Liu Ba's talent in arithmetic is.

"Zi Chu, you are too modest."

Even Lu Su, who was always smart, could not reach the level of Liu Ba: "However, in the future, the bank can recruit some apprentices who are good at arithmetic."

"I heard from Lu Situ earlier that the imperial court may open a school next year. Children over ten years old can go to school, and children over fifteen years old can enter the school."

"The analysis of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" will be more in-depth. It can cultivate many talents who are proficient in arithmetic. You must pay close attention."

"Oh?"

Liu Ba was astonished, and his eyes sparkled: "The imperial court really has the idea of ​​opening a school, and also wants to add "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" to it, so as to study it in depth?"

"Of course!"

Lu Su said with great certainty: "Your Majesty has arranged for Mr. Zheng to prepare textbooks, and it's not just "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", it will also involve professional knowledge such as law, astronomy, and art of war in school."

"Great."

Liu Ba was overjoyed, and heaved a sigh of relief: "I am worried that there is no one who is proficient in arithmetic. This year, a large number of bank openings will be completed. At least one person in each bank must be proficient in arithmetic!"

Lu Su smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Zichu, you can post in the Nanyang Congregation to recruit people who are proficient in arithmetic. Now there are many caravans, all of them are recruiting people there."

"Yes."

Mi Zhu nodded affirmatively: "Our Donghai Mi family's caravan has doubled in size this year, and every team needs people who are proficient in arithmetic."

"It is very difficult to recruit such people in Xuzhou. We are recruiting in Nanyang. We have recruited more than [-] people this year. Liu Zijin can do the same."

"kindness."

Liu Ba was very clear about this point: "I know about this matter. After today is over, I will go to the meeting to post a recruitment poster. With the golden signboard of Zhongxing Bank, why worry about not being able to recruit people."

"Let's go."

Liu Ba waved his hand, motioning for Mi Zhu to follow: "Let them take care of the rest. I will issue the money ticket for you first. In about half a month, there will be a branch of Zhongxing Bank in Xuzhou."

Mi Zhu bowed, smiling all over his face: "Thank you, Liu Zi."

Liu Ba smiled lightly: "You are welcome, you are my first major client of Zhongxing Bank, and in terms of performance in the future, I will have to rely on you, otherwise the letter of responsibility cannot be completed, and it will be difficult for Your Majesty to explain."

Although Liu Ba kept his attitude very low, Mi Zhu still maintained absolute humility: "What does Liu Zizi say? It is precisely because of the money bank that our Mi family's business can be more convenient."

"kindness."

Liu Ba looked Mi Zhu up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "I finally understand why Zijing likes you so much."

You know, Liu Ba is not a good person. In history, he has rejected Liu Biao's many conquests. He even looked down on Liu Bei. He wanted to go north to join Cao Cao. After many twists and turns, he finally returned to Liu Bei.

If Mi Zhu really showed the attitude of a big client in front of Liu Ba, the Mi family would suffer a loss before long, but Mi Zhu's humility finally saved him.

Mi Zhu smiled lightly, and said softly: "Zijing is a strict man, wise and resourceful. It is really a blessing to be valued by my subordinates. From now on, I will work harder and contribute my modest strength to the revival of the great man."

Liu Ba couldn't help nodding: "Yes, very good."

******
Boom!

Deep in the Funiu Mountains.

Suddenly, a loud noise shocked the mountains and forests.

Thousands of birds flew in fright, and hundreds of beasts screamed, as if something terrible had happened.

Boom-!
Then, the sound of collapse sounded.

Somewhere in the forest, a thick cloud of smoke rose.

No.20 outside the No. [-] cave.

"Success!"

"Finally successful!"

"Hahaha!"

"I, Tai Shitong, finally succeeded in my research!"

Tai Shitong raised his hands high, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Your Majesty is really a man of gods. If it weren't for His Majesty's on-demand broadcast, how could I, Tai Shitong, master such magical arts, and I can actually control the power of thunder and fire."

Previously, although Tai Shitong could make a noise, he still couldn't reach the level required by His Majesty the Emperor to open mountains and crack rocks, and he couldn't really control the power of thunder and fire.

but now
Staring at the cloud of smoke and dust rising in front of him, Tai Shitong was so excited that he wanted to jump up. For the first time, he really felt the terrifying power of the fire and thunder.

"quick!"

Immediately, Tai Shitong ordered his assistant: "Quickly bring over the formula of No. 20 No. [-] and all the test data, and I will organize it into a book and report it to His Majesty the Emperor."

The little assistant nodded kindly: "Here, Taishi Lingcheng can rest assured, the next official has already prepared it, and it is in the carriage now, and I will bring it here for you."

Tai Shitong waved his hand: "Okay, you need to be fast. This step is completed. The next step is to make the Fuhuo Thunder Bag and the Fuhuo Thunder Bomb. This is also an arduous task."

The little assistant nodded: "Here."

Immediately.

Turn around and leave in a hurry, heading straight for the carriage.

However.
At the moment in Wancheng.

The Emperor's Palace.

Liu Bian, who was studying, obviously felt a violent shaking, and thought to himself: "Fuck! Could this be an earthquake? But there is no record of the earthquake in the history books!"

After all, things like earthquakes were very taboo in ancient times, especially in the Han Dynasty. According to the normal rhythm, this is a warning from God to the emperor. Can.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, history books will record this "strange" phenomenon, and also record who was dismissed, but experts have long interpreted the historical 191 years, and there is no record of earthquakes at all.

but
If not an earthquake, what would it be?

Liu Bian frowned, lost in thought.

"Defense Lord."

At the same time, the voice of the Military Division Alliance sounded: "If it is not an earthquake, it is very likely that Tai Shitong successfully tested the explosives, and basically reached the level of high explosives."

"You know, the test base he is in is not too far from Nanyang Wancheng. Once the real test is successful, we will feel a little bit here, which is extremely normal."

hiss-!
Surprised, Liu Bian took a deep breath: "This guy Tai Shitong has finally experimented with explosives from the stage of firecrackers? Damn, it's not easy, is it?"

"Give him the correct answer, and it took him so long to finally match it. This kid's IQ is simply worrying. Fortunately, I didn't delay my big event, otherwise he would have to look good."

The Alliance of Military Advisors immediately explained: "Master Bian, you can't really blame Tai Shitong for this. After all, you are from two eras, and the conditions here are relatively simple. It can be done in half a year, which is already very good."

"The most important thing is that Tai Shitong has mastered the experiment through this process, which will be more helpful for our next work."

Liu Bian let out a long breath: "I hope so."

Military division alliance: "Definitely."

After a moment of daze.

Squeak-!
The palace door opened, Zhu Tong and other guards rushed in, General Dian Wei ran directly to Liu Bian's side, holding two iron halberds tightly in his hands, his tiger eyes wide open, always vigilant up and down.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Zhu Tong gave the order, full of worries.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Bian, on the other hand, was extremely calm, waved his hand, and signaled them to leave.

"His Majesty."

Zhu Tong hastily cupped his hands and explained: "This is an earthquake, and it will usually be accompanied by the collapse of walls and houses. The last general and others must protect the safety of His Majesty. You should come out with us and go to an open place, just in case .”

"No need."

Liu Bian waved his hand and immediately interrupted: "This is not an earthquake."

Zhu Tong was stunned: "Your Majesty, this is an earthquake, the general will know about it."

Liu Bian shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "I said, this is not an earthquake, so don't make a fuss."

Tiehanhan Dianwei also said: "Your Majesty, this is really an earthquake. I have experienced it before. It is indeed as General Zhu said. It is always accompanied by the collapse of walls and houses. It is very terrifying."

"Ha ha!"

Liu Bian could only laugh.

With these guys, it's really hard to explain.

Liu Bian didn't bother to explain, after all, he would definitely have to explain again later.

as predicted.

"His Majesty-!"

At this moment, a long call sounded outside the hall.

It's Tang Ji.

Liu Bian heard it all at once.

He looked up.

But seeing, Tang Ji rushed into the Wende Hall in a hurry, completely ignoring any etiquette.

But before Tang Ji could speak, she was interrupted by Liu Bian with a direct wave of her hand: "Queen, there is no need to say more, this is not an earthquake, I will never leave, don't ask the reason, I will explain when everyone arrives."

Tang Ji frowned slightly, not knowing why, although she was in a hurry, she could only follow orders, since the ground really didn't move anymore, so she was not in a hurry.

"Come here now."

Liu Bian beckoned, signaling Tang Ji to come forward.

Have to admit.

Tang Ji has true feelings for herself.

There was an earthquake, and they came to look for themselves at the first time, how could ordinary people do this?

Tang Ji raised her neck, looked at the beams of Wende Hall, and slowly walked forward: "Your Majesty, this house may have been around for decades, are you sure it's all right?"

"Queen, don't worry."

Liu Bian's words were very certain: "When did I lie to you, it was definitely not an earthquake, you must believe me."

Tang Ji nodded: "Well, I naturally believe in Your Majesty."

At this moment, netizens in the live broadcast room exploded here:

"Oh, love makes people blind, sister Tang Ji."

"A man's mouth, a deceiving ghost, can't be trusted, girl."

"Master Bian is so handsome, he looks like a good guy."

"Women are always so superficial!"

"Appearance is the truth!"

"."

Just when the sand sculpture netizens in the live broadcast room were joking.

"His Majesty-!"

Outside the hall, a hurried call sounded here.

It's Xun Yu and Tang Xiang.

The two had originally worked at Shangshutai.

It is relatively close to Wende Hall, so you can come here quickly.

As usual, Liu Bian interrupted with a wave of his hand, and casually said a few perfunctory words, signaling the two to stand aside and wait.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhi, Yang Biao, Zheng Xuan, Guo Jia, Man Chong and others followed one after another.

Liu Bian saw that the people were almost there, and then he said loudly: "My dear friends, don't worry, this is definitely not an earthquake, but the fire and thunder that is being tested in the Taoism Hall."

"Didn't Chang'an reinforce Wuguan and Hangu Pass? It made our ballistas useless. If so, then I will invent another thing and break its gate."

"This movement today"

Liu Bian nodded, and praised: "It seems that Tai Shitong should have met my requirements. It won't be long before we can launch a general attack on Chang'an."

"Fuhuo Thunder?"

Xun Yu frowned, curious.

Even it does not know the existence of this thing: "Your Majesty can actually control the power of fire and thunder?"

Liu Bian did not refuse, and said loudly: "It can be barely controlled, it's not worth mentioning."

Situ Luzhi's eyes widened immediately: "How is this possible? Manpower can't control the power of flames and thunder. It's only the gods who can do it. Your Majesty must be assisted by heaven to have this power."

"That's right!"

Lieutenant Yang Biao was equally astonished, and kept nodding his head: "For hundreds of thousands of years, how can anyone control the power of flames and thunder? I have searched through ancient books, but I have never found them."

"If your Majesty can really control this technique, it will shake the earth and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. Little Chang'an will be peaceful overnight."

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded and smiled calmly: "To tell the truth, when the Fuhuo Leideng bag and Fuhuo Leideng bomb are built, I will prepare to storm Chang'an and eliminate the puppet Han regime."

Xun Yu was overjoyed: "If this is the case, that would be great."

Tang Xiang was even more excited: "That's right! The Han Dynasty is rejuvenating, so what's the harm in passing it on for thousands of generations!"

Just when everyone was jumping for joy.

"Report—!"

Just at this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.

Liu Bian looked up.

But seeing, Shi A pushed the door and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I ask Tai Shitong to see you."

Liu Bian smiled lightly, and swept his eyes across the crowd: "See, Taishi Lingcheng has indeed come, let him come in and explain to you."

Shi A understood what the emperor meant: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave.

Not long after, Tai Shitong came to Wende Hall, stepped forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "My minister, Tai Shitong, see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand, signaling Tai Shitong to get up: "Get up."

Tai Shitong nodded: "Here."

"Taishi Lingcheng."

Liu Bian didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said loudly: "But Fuhuo Leiting, has it been built?"

Tai Shitong nodded and nodded: "That's right, according to His Majesty's request, I have created a fire and thunderbolt that can open mountains and crack rocks. It is so powerful that it can blow down half a hill."

"This is the specific data, please read it Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, Tai Shitong hurriedly presented the cloth bag hands to His Majesty the Emperor.

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded, took the bag, and said softly, "Very good."

While Liu Bian was looking at the specific data, the civil servants and generals beside him couldn't bear it anymore.

Xun Yu hastily asked earlier: "Taishi Lingcheng, the movement of Wancheng just now was really caused by the fire and thunder?"

Situ Luzhi asked again: "That's right, just now the whole city of Wan shook violently, I thought it was an earthquake, but His Majesty said it was a thunderbolt."

"This thing."

Lu Zhi couldn't believe it: "Really so powerful?"

Taiwei Yang Biao frowned: "You boy, you can't lie, yes, yes, no, no, understand?"

Facing everyone's inquiries, Tai Shitong also looked confused and frowned: "Ah? I only know that the fire and thunder blasted down the No. 26 cave, and the whole mountain was stunned. Did the city shake as well?"

"It's not just shaking!"

Man Chong took up the conversation without hesitation, and said loudly: "Some houses in the city are about to be shaken and collapsed. I guess later, I will go around to see if there are any damaged houses. Let's fix the house."

Jia Xu had a look of disbelief: "Although Wendaoguan is not too far from Wancheng, it can cause such a terrifying earthquake. If it is really placed under Wuguan and Hanguguan, the city walls will definitely collapse."

"Yes!"

Even Guo Jia himself sighed sincerely: "I have lived for more than [-] years, and I have never seen such a powerful thing. It is really appropriate to call it Fuhuo Leiting."

Listening to everyone's descriptions, even Tai Shitong himself couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How is this possible? I'm in the mountains, and it actually spread to Wancheng?"

All the civil and military officials nodded one after another: "Well, that's right, it has indeed spread to Wancheng."

Liu Bian, who was at the top, flipped through the specific data, and the voice of the Military Division Alliance also sounded: "The power of explosives depends on the purity of the nitrate, and the ratio of it."

"Judging from the materials submitted by Tai Shitong, he has solved most of the problems in making explosives. Next, we can reduce the dimension and develop some civilian products, such as fireworks, to make money."

"Both civilian and military use are required, so as to maximize the benefits. Perhaps this year's winter festival ceremony, we can watch a grand fireworks show through video."

Liu Bian fantasized about that scene, with a smile on his face: "To be honest, I only let off fireworks when I was young, but I haven't seen them since I grew up. Fireworks have been banned in many places."

"It's ok."

The Military Division Alliance said softly: "Let's watch enough this year, so that the netizens in the live broadcast room will also be happy and happy. It's a good year, isn't that good?"

"After the next year, the north will basically be pacified. We must start the construction of roads, bridges, and railways. At that time, it will be necessary to use explosives to open mountains."

"If the road can't be repaired in advance, Lord Bian will not even mention going out of the Western Regions, going to Guishuang, and resting in peace. Experts have said it before. At the beginning, weapons may limit your combat effectiveness, but in the later stage, it will be infrastructure that restricts you. Combat power."

"So, starting next year, we plan to start from the north and build railways, bridges and other things. When the steam locomotive is invented, it will be easier to fight the Western Regions."

Liu Bian looked forward to this very much: "Okay, my goal this year is to take Guanzhong down, eliminate Yuan Wei, and if possible, give Yuan Shao a fatal blow until he can't take care of himself."

"Anyway, the current food and grass are enough. After the winter is over, we will start farming and fighting. We will strive to dominate the north and start to develop south. Within three years, we will unify the whole country."

The military division alliance smiled: "Master Bian, be bold, the so-called irreversible trend, if the north is settled, the princes in the south may not be able to last for three years."

"Even if the aristocratic family will oppose their surrender, it is impossible for them alone to stop our soldiers, horses and warships. As long as Jingzhou is captured, it is equivalent to opening the west gate of Jiangdong."

Liu Bian is indeed relatively conservative, and never dared to think wildly: "If this is the case, it is indeed the best. Unify the Han within five years, upgrade technology within ten years, and maybe unify the world within 50 years."

"so."

Liu Bian couldn't hide the joy on his face: "Before I die, maybe I can become the first emperor to unify the world, haha, as long as I imagine it, I feel very happy."

There was a trace of decline in the voice of the Military Division Alliance: "I just don't know if I can persist until then. I am already 42 years old, and in another 50 years, I will be in my 90s."

"It is estimated that you, Lord Bian, can wipe out more than half of the experts in the Military Division Alliance, but fortunately, there will always be new ones to make up, and everyone will always witness your miracles."

As for this, the netizens in the live broadcast room are boiling here:
"The programmer who is already 35 this year is drifting away. In 50 years, he will be 85. I just don't know if I can survive until then. Now I am working overtime until twelve o'clock every day. It is really exhausting."

"This is really a drama that can be followed for a lifetime. Even if I die of old age and don't see the finale, I still have to ask my children and grandchildren to burn a CD for me."

"The capacity of one card is limited. It is estimated that at least hundreds of cards will be burned, maybe even thousands of cards. Haha, whoops, this may be a business opportunity. I seem to have discovered something, brothers, take action."

"Hahaha, I'm going to burst out laughing, and what about CDs, things that reveal their age, can you tell? Who still uses that now, all of them are mobile hard drives, buy a bigger one, 1T should be able to store more point."

"My dear, why are you still using a 50T hard drive after 1 years? It's really poverty that limits your imagination. The times are developing. Brother, you can grow up."

"."

"Who can tell me what happened just now? Dog head.jpg"

"I don't know. This is what happened when I came here. I'm still wondering."
