Win the Ding 1617

() What do you think about Hou's soda production method in the previous chapter?Some children's shoes said that hybrid rice can be considered. The author believes that if there is a suitable description, it is not impossible to consider

"My lord, please get on board..."

Chen Tianhua, who was in charge of the battalion office, reported loudly with a command knife in hand.

This was Li Shouhan's first formal review of his new army.The purpose is to demonstrate one's own military strength, frighten the Zheng family in the north, and prevent them from stabbing in the back. <The chariot equipment of the Autumn and Warring States period was pulled by four beautiful big food horses. Looking from the chariot, the four horses were all white in color, and the skeleton and fur of the horses were almost identical.Standing on the bronze four-wheeled chariot, Li Shouhan looked even more graceful and luxurious.The horses were bought from Peres of Luzon, there were eight horses in total, and the four horses were given to Yanmeier and Cui Xiuxiu as their rides.Compared with those ancient chariots, the position of the driver of this chariot has been adjusted a bit, shifted from the center to the left. The armrest allows him to maintain his body balance during the movement of the vehicle.At the rear of the car, a pedal across the body is set up, which can allow two soldiers to stand on the pedal and perform protection tasks.

Originally, reviewing the troops seemed to be done on horseback, but Shou Han, considering his riding skills with the two sabers, did not want to fall off his horse while reviewing the troops like Commander-in-Chief Jiang, and turn himself into a laughing stock of others Needless to say, it also gave confidence to the careerists; in the end, the safest way was to take a car inspection.

A few days ago, after discussing with his staff and subordinates for a period of time, Shou Han finally made such a decision: first solve the south and then the north, first solve the south, and separate the control area of ​​the Ruan family from his southern immigration area. Join together to obtain a vast strategic rear, and then turn around and solve the Zheng family in the north.Regarding the exploration in the direction of Guangxi, Li Peilin was asked to reply to an official letter in the name of He Jing Shouyu Qianhusuo. The general content of the official letter is as follows.

Back then, Master Mao set up Hejing to defend the Thousand Households, just to transfer to the capital and supervise the tributes paid by Annan, without specifying the relationship of affiliation.For decades, they have been handed down from father to son.Today, another document suddenly arrived, saying that it was necessary to receive the official document in front of the seat of the lord. I don't know why.Although the land of Hejing is small and the people are poor, and there is a mixture of barbarians, Han, Miao, and Yao, the people in the world have received the kindness of the Li family, and they cannot bear to abandon each other.The meaning is very clear. If you want to forcefully change the Li family, there are a bunch of barbarians here, and they only have the Li family in their eyes. You have to consider the consequences. Once a war breaks out, it will not do you any good .

The soft and hard documents were handed over to the courier from Guangxi to bring them back.Accompanying the letter to Guangxi were two personal letters in the name of Li Shouhan.One is for the Governor, and the other is for the Chief Soldier.

Different from the official document, the general content of these two letters is that you are welcome to send your confidants to Ha Tinh for business.Shou Han Ding should support it with all his strength, and make a fortune together, so he deliberately wrote the words in a crude and straightforward manner.Let those adults and gentlemen rest assured that Li Shouhan is just a rude warrior.

They dealt with those officials in Guangxi who were only thinking about how to gain some benefits from Li Shouhan. After all, their hands could not reach He Jing for the time being.Right now, it is necessary to devote energy to how to deal with the forces of the North and the South.

In Annan right now, Ruan's family, Li Shouhan's family, and Zheng's family lined up in a long snake formation from south to north.Among them, the Zheng family controls the Li family's court, just like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, while the Ruan family in the south, how to say, relies on Lingjiang to confront the regime in the north.

Ten years after Li Shouhan's crossing, a war broke out between the north and the south.It is the so-called first Civil War in history. This war ended with the defeat of the North.

From the intelligence data collected by Li Shouhan, it seems that the military and economic strength of the north is far superior to that of the south, so in the decades of civil war, the north always attacked, while the south only took the initiative to attack once. The rest belong to the defensive side.

There are few soldiers in the south, and there is insufficient money and food. Moreover, the south is also in the state of development and immigration at this time.Hue and Quang Nam, the home of the Ruan family, are narrow and sparsely populated.The same idea is to lure farmers from the north to the south to cultivate land. On this point, he and Li Shouhan are colleagues.

Today, the territory controlled by Li Shouhan is mainly Ha Tinh and Quang Binh on the north bank of the Lingjiang River and part of Laos. If calculated by square kilometers, it is about [-] square kilometers, with a population of nearly one million.

Moreover, in addition to the fine salt manufacturing process, sugar purification process, ductile iron, and crucible steelmaking, Shou Han has another natural killer in his hands.

That is Stony Brook Iron Mine!

After repeated exploration and confirmation, Li Shouhan finally thanked God with tears of tears for allowing him to have this iron ore that theoretically allowed him to unify the world and never run out.Just near He Fuqianhu's Laochao Tie Shanzhai is the largest iron mine in Annan!

The iron ore contained in this iron mine has reached 5.4 million tons!What is even more surprising is that its iron ore has an average iron content of more than 61%. This is the average iron content, which means that its iron core content is much higher than this value. You must know that it is the only iron-rich ore in China. The average iron content of Shilu Iron Ore is only 51.2%!

However, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. He Jing has crazy iron ore resources, but there is a lack of another mineral for iron making, especially large-scale iron and steel making—coal!

And the main producing area of ​​coal is precisely on the land of the Zheng family!

Therefore, for the sake of coal, it is not possible to turn against the Zheng family for the time being. It is not because they are afraid of the Zheng family. In addition to coal, the Zheng family needs to be used as a wall to keep out the wind and rain in the north. As long as the Zheng family is in the north, Li Shouhan will There is no land connection with Guangxi, and the adults in Guangxi can only fight against the autumn wind. Before Shouhan has not controlled Annan, he doesn't want a group of mothers-in-law who are dictating.

Therefore, for the sake of coal, and in order for the Zheng family to continue to shelter from the wind and rain in the north, it is necessary to have a fight with the Zheng family.Therefore, Lin Huofeng, the shopkeeper of the Han Yuan Company, and Jiang Yili, the shopkeeper of the Yuhetai Salt Company, accompanied by Hu Zhongkang, the second young master of the Hu family, went to Shenglong to negotiate with several important members of the Zheng family and Zheng Bing's favorite ministers, with the intention of reaching a deal. agreement.Use fine salt, fish floss, white sugar, and dyed cloth from Hejing to start trade with the Zheng family.Of course, those pitch-black charcoal (coal) piled up everywhere can also be used to offset the payment if it is not enough.

However, the cost of getting through the joints is indispensable. According to the news from Shenglong, several nephews and favorites of the Zheng family opened their mouths and asked for bribes that were almost sky-high in the eyes of Lin and Jiang. : No matter how much each catty of salt is sold in the Zheng family's control area, they must be charged [-] Wen!

At the same time, they are allowed to mix fifty stones of coal gangue into each shipment of coal!

Your father's brother's!

After hearing the messenger's report, Shou Han's first reaction was this.

The coal gangue is nothing more than that!Anyway, I have a lot of use, so why don't you just ship it to me one by one, but why do you charge such a high fee for my salt? !

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Shou Han and Li Peilin conspired for two days, and then proposed to the group of guys in the north to use the treasured sword and spear produced by He Jing to offset this part of the benefit fee.

After the Juehu Knife and the Sangmen Spear were installed, there were also a small amount of loss and export. They were found in both the North and the South, and they were regarded as military treasures by their respective monarchs.After thinking hard, but now Li Shouhan finally reluctantly gave up his love and allowed these two things to enter the northern army. How could this not make Zheng Bing and his family inexplicably excited? !

After another round of intense bargaining, the two parties finally signed a trade agreement valid for three years in Thang Long.According to the agreement, the Hanyuan firm in Ha Tinh must provide Thang Long with one thousand treasured swords and two thousand long spears every year. Do business duty-free and buy what they think they need.Three months before the agreement expires, the two parties will discuss whether to renew the conditions.

"After the first batch of swords and guns arrive, I will equip the old guards first and make them sharp blades in my hands. Then I will change the weapons of the soldiers and soldiers in other provinces." Although the Zheng family is only the king, Zheng Bing It is already called myself.Most of his guards were soldiers from his hometown Qinghua and Ngee An.I don't know why, but many people believe in people from their hometown. The famous Saddam's Republican Guard is mostly composed of people from his hometown.As for Yan Xishan, let alone, "If you can speak Wutai dialect, you can carry a foreign knife."

With the threat from the north and northeast temporarily lifted, Shou Han turned all his eyes to the south.

Regarding the south, he didn't hesitate at all, one word, hit!Two words, destroy!

It has always been that those who have civil affairs must have armed forces. If you want to destroy another political force and military strength, you must first have your own military strength and economic strength stronger than the other party.

Therefore, Shou Han took the opportunity of forming an army of more than 1 people who had just completed the training of strong men to review his military strength, and at the same time, increase the cohesion of the people under his rule.

The military parade organized in Ha Tinh is naturally not comparable to the National Day military parade. Moreover, the troops stationed at various key points cannot be transferred back. The chief officer can only bring individual troops to participate in the parade under the designation of his own troops.

The review area for the troops is on the concrete road from Ha Tinh to Hon Gai Port.In the past, on the concrete road where three horse-drawn carriages could run side by side, the troops here were assembled in battalions and columns, and the troops all faced south.At the same time, the common people and guests were allowed to watch. In order to let the guests watch more clearly, Shou Han also specially set up a viewing stand for the distinguished guests of the Zheng family.

On the far right is the military flag of Li Shouhan's army, the iron blood eighteen star flag.And Shou Han's own Li character banner with gold border and gold thread, yellow flame and red background with white moonlight is flying on his review car at this moment.

The color of the military flag is based on red. According to Li Peilin, it is based on the theory of the five elements, which means that it is located in the south, obeys the virtue of fire, and respects red.Secondly, it is the red banner of the Han family, so that people will not forget the Han family's descendants.On the left side of the Jagged Eighteen Stars flag is the flag of the Guards Battalion.The guard battalion, as the guard's personal soldiers, and the first unit in his army that is fully armed with firearms, has reason and qualifications to stand at the forefront to accept his inspection.In the front row of the column of the Guards Battalion, there are four six-pound guns prepared by the artillery team in the battalion, and eight Franc machine guns, that is, the guns of the mother and child guns. problem, and it is lighter in weight and has a longer range. The effective range of shotgun shooting is also 300 meters to 400 meters.The newly forged nine-turn steel cannon was polished like a bronze mirror by the gunners.The gunners holding push rods and wool brushes stood straight behind the guns with their chests upright.Dozens of drivers were very aggrieved in the last row of the battalion column, comforting the Yunnan horses responsible for pulling artillery and ammunition carts.

Eight steps to the left of the Guards Battalion's column is the banner of the Qilin Battalion. The Qilin Battalion is now divided into eight battalions, front, rear, left, right, center, vanguard, assault, and artillery, almost a brigade-level unit.On the left side of the Qilin flag is the flag of the artillery team. Mai Tianen, the battalion officer of the artillery team, has a recognition flag on his back and leads his own troops to stand behind his own artillery. Twelve six-pound guns form a Overwhelmed the long-range firepower of the Qilin Battalion.Looking to the left from the Artillery Battalion, you can see the flags of Qilin Battalion's front, rear, left, right, center, vanguard, and assault battalions. The flags of each battalion are also a fire unicorn roaring in the clouds. On the left are the artillery units of the battalions.Another four six-pounders gleamed in the sun.Then came the Phoenix Battalion, the marines of the Xuanwu Battalion, the eight-pound guns of the gunners, and the twelve-pound guns, in this order, and the last one was the rocket launcher, a long steel launcher, standing in the sun. Send out bursts of dazzling light.

Six-pound guns, eight-pound guns, 12-pound guns, and rockets represent short-range, medium-range, long-range and ultra-long-range fire coverage strikes.Li Shouhan believed that cannons were the god of war, so the number of cannons in his troops was unprecedented, and the artillery was lined up all the way to Hongji port.

The first troops of each battalion to be inspected were all battalion-affiliated artillery teams. In front of the queue was the Francine Cannon. Its current name was the Whirlwind Cannon. Next to the Whirlwind Cannon was a blue-and-yellow six-pound bronze cannon.After the six-pounders came the various infantry units.

Viewed from the side, the flags in the first row, no matter the military flag of the Iron Blood Eighteen Stars or the banners of the battalions, battalion flags, and team flags, are all neatly arranged in a line, and the positions of all the artillery and people are also arranged in the slightest. Not messy.

The battalion officers below Chen Tianhua and Xu Huanshan were all wearing helmets and crowns, and outside the breastplates were brand-new Shu brocade battle robes, and the four black feathers on the top of their heads were also arranged to make them look more energetic.The officers of each team below the battalion officer were dressed almost the same as the battalion officers, except that they lacked their shirts, while the soldiers held their own weapons and stared intently at the guard's slowly approaching car. Inspection car.

When the reviewing carriage was about to enter within ten steps to the right of the battalion flag, a loud swan sound sounded in the queue, and all the people saluted with guns.Suddenly, a forest of guns appeared above the sea of ​​people!The long gun tip is shining with the sun's rays!

The guards in the car waved back to the soldiers of the battalions, and the crowd uttered a voice, "Who distributed the land to us?!" Thousands of people answered loudly: "It's the general!"

"Who paid us a generous military salary?!"

"It's the general!"

"Whose meal do we eat?!"

"Eat the general's meal!"

"Whose gun are we carrying?!"

"Carry the general's gun!"

"Whose orders do we listen to?!"

"We only listen to the general!"

In the distance, Li Peilin accompanied several guests of Zheng's family on the viewing platform, watching Li Shouhan reviewing the team, feeling quite complacent, "If you want to make merit with this, why not take it? If you defeat the enemy with this, how can the enemy be invincible?" ?! If the general has the heart of the army and the hearts of the people, why worry about the failure of major events?"

But the guests of the Zheng family were not in such a good mood. Looking at the forest of knives and guns and the neat square formation, the pressure on people was like mountains. In addition to the galloping ships on the pier, The members of the Zheng family told themselves very firmly in their hearts: "We must establish a good relationship with the army of the Celestial Dynasty. If we are not sure of victory, we must never meet each other easily!"
