Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 86
Guo Kang has been worried that Theodora will come, but she really showed up so quickly, which surprised Guo Kang.

"What's your reaction?" Another black-haired girl with long braids and a narrow-sleeved gown stepped forward and said with a smile, "Why is it the same as the last spring search exercise, when Tuo Huan was smashed into the nest. "

"Why are you here too?!" Guo Kang was taken aback.

"I brought Huizhen here, what's the matter?" Theodora asked strangely.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Guo Kang said, while quickly turning his head to look at Zhu Wenkui.

It may be too crowed, in short, the worst situation has happened now: not only Theodora suddenly appeared, but Shi Huizhen was also brought along.

Before the details of Xintianxiong's plan were launched, he was facing a severe challenge from the Greek woman!
Fortunately, the Zhu brothers and sisters have already made an agreement with him, and there is a tacit understanding.So Zhu Wenkui stood up and said, "Young Master Guo invited us to come here to watch the demonstration of firearms and chariots."

"Then why are you dragging him around?" Theodora said to Guo Kang with doubts.

"Oh, I want to use this barrel." Guo Kang was quick to think, pointing to the wooden barrel sitting under Jeanna's buttocks, and said: "We have to practice artillery, but the little princess is not willing to let go. I was too rude, I'll pay more attention next time."

"That's right, it's nothing, my sister is too noisy, you see, there's nothing I can do about it." Zhu Wenkui also said hastily.

Jeanna glared at them both, but Guo Kang immediately winked at her, and Zhu Wenkui also showed a requesting look.She had no choice but to pretend to be obedient, raised her head and smiled sweetly at Theodora, agreeing with his statement.

She was not tall, and Guo Kang took advantage of the situation to pick her up and put her on the saddle behind Nurhachi.

"Look, it's this thing." He pointed to the barrel again and said.

Seeing that the three of them had nothing else to say, Theodora didn't know if she believed it. In short, she didn't continue to ask questions, which made Guo Kang heave a sigh of relief.

"What is this?" Shi Huizhen walked over, looked at the bucket, and asked curiously.

"It's 'China Snow'." Guo Kang said, opening the barrel.

Shi Huizhen stretched out her hand and rubbed it together.

——Chinese snow is saltpeter.This thing is the raw material for making gunpowder.

At first, the Arabs learned the method of using saltpeter from the East. Because they thought the shape of the crystals was the same as snow, they gave it an alias of "Chinese Snow".

"There is a problem with our gunpowder granules. We are going to exchange the formula with them to see if there is a better process plan." Guo Kang said.

He was telling the truth.

Gunpowder technology, everyone is now groping.These days, things like the purity of the raw material, the craft of making it, and even the type of weapon used all have an impact on the performance of gunpowder.Therefore, the "best solution" is often an empirical result obtained after many experiments.Even if he remembered the best craftsmanship and ratio, he had to make appropriate tests and adjustments according to the situation here.

Shi Huizhen is also very familiar with this thing.She nodded to Theodora, who jumped off the horse and gave Guo Kang a hug when he came up.

Such a hug from her made Guo Kang feel a little guilty.But after thinking about it carefully, he and Jeanna really didn't do anything.The few of them discussed for a long time, and it was nothing more than Brother Steam and Saint Cannon, and it seemed that there was nothing to be ashamed of.

As for the establishment of a sect... Theodora probably wouldn't like to believe in such a heretical sect.But this so-called sect, to put it bluntly, is just a cover for the study of various machines, and has nothing to do with the belief itself, and it is not true to believe in some steam god religion.It's not a big deal to go back and explain to her.

If you think about it that way, it's okay.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Theodora whisper in his ear, "What are you worried about? Tell me alone after you go back."

After finishing speaking, she let go of Guo Kang, took half a step back, straightened his robe, smiled gently, and stepped aside.

"..."

Guo Kang was speechless for a moment.

Shi Huizhen was still just laughing from the sidelines, but Zhu Wenkui didn't seem to be used to these etiquettes so far, so he turned his head slightly, with a "see no evil" expression on his face.As for Jeanne, she is still on the boar's back, so I don't know if she saw it or not.

But now, there is no time to take care of it.Although Theodora was a bit scary today, it wasn't her who was in the most trouble.Guo Kang has to keep an eye on Shi Huizhen, who is the most threatening among this group of people.

This person's past experience can be said to be very special.

There are only Shi Ke and Shi Dan among the males of this generation of historians.And Shi Ke has been more interested in sailing since he was a child.

At that time, the princes of the Nanya government complained about the long-term monopoly of the Italians and Greeks on the navy, so they supported his own choice and sent him to the Dadu Fleet to start as an intern military officer to cultivate skills and contacts.

But on the other hand, after decades of reorganization, expansion, and civil war, the military government that historians can currently control is mainly in the North Romanian Province and Dnieper Province in the northwest of the Khanate, facing Poland directly, and the military pressure is very high.

The military system of the Khanate is to set up legion farms in various places and distribute the fields to legion soldiers for management.From the periphery of the Black Sea to the southern part of the Oros region, the land is vast and fertile, the climate is good, and there are even many minerals.However, the farming and production techniques of the local people are very backward, and they have not even had decent water conservancy for a long time.Therefore, through the centralized development and management of the legion organization, the output can often be improved a lot and good benefits can be obtained.

Over the past few decades, residents from all over the country have been recruited and the land has been reclaimed, forming many large and small farms connected together.The residents in the farm are the legionnaires and citizens of the Khanate.

The Khanate allocated these farms into several military mansions, which were responsible for intensive training of citizens.The soldiers of a government are also habitually called a "battle group" according to the Greek tradition.In the event of a large-scale battle, the Khanate would draw some soldiers from these battle groups to form a legion and carry out the war.

In normal times, the military government and the battle group also have many military responsibilities.Especially in the position of the historian, the pressure is actually very high, and there is an urgent need for a strong and capable person to manage the affairs.

You must know that the position of the Purple Horde Khanate is not peaceful, and it can even be said that there are enemies in all directions.Countries such as Poland and Shinra, which they faced directly, were extremely hostile to the Khanate, and even colluded with the Ottomans and even the Turkmen Black Sheep Dynasty many times, and joined forces with pagans to attack church members.

In the early years, the Khanate also tried to seek peace and compromise, but it was never successful.

After summarizing the analysis, Khanting believes that this can only show that some barbarians are extremely hostile to orthodox Rome, obviously wanting to maintain their barbaric characteristics, fearing that they will be conquered and assimilated by Rome.This is an irreconcilable contradiction at the level of civilization, even surpassing the identity brought about by religion.
