A City of Infinite Winners in One's Life

However, with Ma Teng's surrender, Ma Chao can only dispel his ambitions, and Ma Chao is not a fool. In the current situation, an idiot can see that Li Wei can unify the Central Plains. At this time, he jumped out to make trouble and die.

So far, in addition to Guangzhou and Jiaozhou being placed in PLAY in the south, unification has been completed in the true sense, and the situation in the north has gradually become clear, becoming a situation in which the three families of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and He Miao are fighting each other.Among them, Cao Cao was the most powerful, followed by He Miao, Yuan Shu belonged to the weakest side, and joined He Miao to fight against Cao Cao, but the three would join forces to fight against Li Wei.As for Gongsun Zan, who has a thin sense of existence?It has long been squeezed so that there is not much living space, and because the territory is close to the Wuhuan and Xiongnu, Gongsun Zan's territory has been in a state of war all the year round, and the economic development is quite bad, and now it has fallen out of the first echelon, if not the north The top three still have to rely on Gongsun Zan to fight against the Wuhuan and Xiongnu. Gongsun Zan has already had an accident. .

Chapter 627. Great Industrial Development

Unobstructed traffic is convenient. Li Wei agreed that it did not take much time to return to Jingzhou from Yizhou.On the train, the family is happy and happy. Even if Li Wei is not a person with a strong sense of humor, he smiles from the heart in the face of this situation. He wakes up and is drunk and lies on the knees of beautiful women. For the two, the former has the right to Li Wei doesn't value anything. In contrast, Li Wei prefers to be a little meat worm who drowned in a gentle village.

Everyone was still frolicking, while Li Wei was sitting on the side of the sofa, carefully studying the map. Now the situation is completely clear, and because of the constant internal friction, the North itself has been unable to organize an army that can fight against Li Wei.Besides, Li Wei's army has already crushed the forces in the north by a distance, both in terms of personal strength and military technology. Just when the north was still playing with cold weapons, "Nine Seven Zero" Li Wei's side immediately. Firearms are about to be popularized.

Now the technology of how to make a reciprocating line has matured, and it will be mass-produced immediately. With the existing industrial system, the factories in Yuzhou and Yangzhou can produce at least more than [-] standard magazine-type rifles every month. This is still Not counting the output of Gunzhou and Jingzhou, if calculated, it can even produce more than [-] a month.However, doing so will squeeze the construction of other industries, so if the supply is stable, it will be about [-] a month.

The long-established industrial system is finally able to see returns. At such a critical moment, being able to produce such output is not a bit stronger than the original small hand workshop. This is the power of standardization, and the industrial rioters rely on it. is yield.Guns and guns are not separated, especially the appearance of guns is earlier than guns. The breakthrough of rifling technology allows guns to shoot farther and more accurately, which also makes pointed bullets officially appear.

The earliest shells and bullets were all round bullets. The poor aerodynamic layout made the round bullet's target head very bad. The sputtering damage of the round bullet artillery belongs to the wonderful target head aiming at A, B, and C, and can only be guaranteed by firepower coverage. The kill rate is the same, and the same is true for the musket. If it exceeds 30 meters, the round bullet will not know which direction it will fly.Like a modern pistol, at least [-] meters away can guarantee the accuracy and lethality. This is the importance of the rifling and the shape of the warhead. When this technology is pointed out, the technology of the Southern Empire can be regarded as reaching the level of the First World War.

In Li Wei's mind, he recorded all kinds of classic firearms from World War I and World War II, including the Springfield-style sniper rifle with a slight modification of its stable performance. Uncle's favorite AK series, with the current technology, it is no longer a problem to make some simpler firearms, which means that even if the soldiers in the future lose their spiritual baptism, they will only be transferred from "fighters" to "hunters" and "hunters". "Mage" is nothing, it has absolutely no effect on combat power, and the overall combat system of the technology flow is more suitable for popularization.

Li Wei's industrial road went very smoothly. It is not like the industrial revolution in Europe caused so many moths. It should be said that this is caused by the difference of thinking. Europeans who emphasize the individual and Asia who emphasize the collective In many cases, people's thinking is completely out of sync, and the collective power is always greater than that of the individual, so Li Weiwan's industrial advancement is very smooth.As long as the overall interests are not violated, then industrial advancement is a matter of benefit for everyone, and who would object to more and more benefits for themselves?

Railway lines, military industry, ocean-going shipping industry, textile industry, pharmaceutical industry... The seeds sown by Li Wei have begun to take root and sprout, and they have rapidly grown into towering trees, constantly opening and hanging, allowing the technology of the southern empire The strength is changing with each passing day. Although the technology in the south still has shortcomings in some aspects, it is approaching the level of the industrial revolution of the [-]th century as a whole, and it still exceeds in some aspects.

"Husband always has a serious face, it looks like it's very hard." Seeing Li Wei constantly looking at the map and various materials, Sun Shangxiang said in a low voice, while the others unconsciously lowered their voices. Afraid to disturb Li Wei.

"Because the husband is the soul of the entire southern empire, the burden on his shoulders is very heavy, so we must be vigilant at all times. Many times we try our best not to cause trouble to the husband, in order to allow him to work outside after a day. , it can be easier at home. Therefore, even if the husband makes some strange requests, we will try our best to satisfy him..." Diao Chan chuckled softly.

Sun Shangxiang nodded. She is the youngest in this big family. She is still learning many things, but even if she makes some small mistakes from time to time because of confusion, Li Wei will touch her head and smile. To comfort her, in Sun Shangxiang's view, Li Wei is not much older than himself, but he is very reliable.

"Then how can I make my husband relax?" Sun Shangxiang asked curiously about the baby.

"This..." Diaochan blushed and didn't know how to answer Sun Shangxiang, so she could only say perfunctorily: "This question needs to be demonstrated to you by your husband, and then you will know how to make your husband relax."

"I see, then go ask your husband later." Sun Shangxiang smiled, she didn't know the real meaning of Diaochan's words.

Li Wei felt that he had some clues, and quickly turned out the information books in the storage space. Several tomes filled the table at once. Industrialization itself is not a simple thing. Fortunately, he has a full set of data and benchmark world industrialization processes as a reference.All kinds of problems that will arise can be found in the data. In contrast, Li Wei's development sequence so far is correct, so there are no major mistakes.

Because Li Wei's ruling methods are very tyrannical, no one can stop him from 0.6 to do whatever he wants. To a certain extent, Li Wei is also a "tyrant". Will his subordinate's suggestion be? It is Li Wei's decision to adopt, and no one can control his will.Unlike those so-called "Mingjun" who do things forward and backward, they often realize that they have missed opportunities.

The advantage of a tyrant is that once he is determined to do something, the power of the entire country can be twisted into a single rope. The literati and writers in the north are still clamoring and scolding the industrial revolution in the south.The technology in the south is becoming more and more developed, and the gap between the two sides is also growing. Anyone with discernment can see that the industrial revolution is the cornerstone of the future and an important step towards the future.With the development of science and technology, standing still is tantamount to going backwards, not to mention the attitude of resisting development. .

chapter 628. foreign merchants

Back at the base camp in Jingzhou, Li Wei began to prepare for the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition was very important, so Li Wei was ready to go on a personal expedition.Although he has few front-line battles now, Li Wei's own existence is the best stability for the military.

However, the time for the "exchange" of the soldiers has also arrived. The first batch of veterans will now retire. Although they have only served for two years, Li Wei is ready to release them.Instead of keeping these people in the military, let them go out and start a business.This will not affect the Northern Expedition, the soldiers who are battered by iron, especially the mature technology of guns and artillery, so that the traditional army that relies solely on physical fitness for food has no prospects, so it is normal to exchange blood at this time.

What we have to do now is to accumulate strength, and then completely push the north in one wave.And this must also be coordinated with industrial development. For example, the production of arms and the training of new troops will take time. In ancient times, if you want to prepare for a large-scale war, it usually takes two or three years in advance. Even Li Wei, It takes half a year to prepare, which is also the influence of the objective environment.

However, the Southern Empire is indeed in need of recuperation, and so far, Li Wei has not clearly called the emperor, so the Southern Empire has no direct name, and the people in the south are also self-proclaimed Huaxia people, which is also a problem. No matter it's called Zhang San and Li Si, there must be a name.After all, the power of the Southern Empire has become so huge that it has an overwhelming advantage. If you don't make a name in this case, even the people below will start to have opinions.

Li Wei also attaches great importance to the establishment of a country. After all, although he will leave, he must at least lay a good foundation for the people behind him. In terms of system, the era he lives in will be a monarchy, but after him All people can only be a constitutional monarchy.Moreover, Li Wei left a lot of information for his successors, and coupled with the overall checks and balances brought about by the constitutional monarchy, even if the later monarchs could not reach Li Wei's level, the country would still not have problems.

For example, the modern John Bull is a constitutional monarchy. Although Europe has always had problems and John Bull itself is troubled, as far as its system is concerned, it can be used in the southern empire for at least seven or eight hundred years without any problem.Moreover, Li Wei felt that it would not take so much, at most one or two hundred years. The people who have fully opened up the wisdom of the people will find ways to check and balance the upper levels, and then enter an era of balance.

Returning to the issue of the country name, Li Wei was debating whether to continue using Han or whether to use Xia again, but thinking about the fact that the Eastern Han Dynasty just ended soon, it would be unlucky to use Han again at this time, and another point was that it would make those pedantic old-fashioned The literati felt they had a place.So "Xia" was activated again, and Huaxia's is actually an extension of Xia, so this number is quite reliable.

And there is another thing that caught Li Wei's attention recently, that is, a European businessman crossed the ocean to Yangzhou port.Europe during this period was still in the period of the Roman Empire. That ship of merchants came from the Roman Empire. The current Roman Empire is somewhat different from history. In another ten years, it is estimated that the royal court of the Gallic barbarians will be eliminated and the whole of Europe will be unified.

The following people presented the information of European businessmen, and Li Weilai decided how to deal with this matter.The following people are also helpless to the Roman merchants who do not understand the language, so they can only stay temporarily, but they are sent to follow and strictly guard them. Once these merchants do something illegal, they will be arrested and punished, because the cultures of the two sides are different and they are connected to each other. The language is not fluent, but there are many jokes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Forches was a businessman from Rome. He had always heard that there was a huge and prosperous empire in the east. He took a boatload of people out to sea. the legendary Eastern Empire.

"It's a beautiful building... It's completely different from Rome, but it can be seen that the residents here are very wealthy, and everyone has a smile on their face." Although Forches cannot speak Chinese, he is a human being. Sometimes he can communicate with gestures and expressions, so even if he stumbles, he can barely complete some simple communication.

Huaxia-style architecture and Rome can’t be said to be better or worse. After all, both sides have developed a splendid civilization. Both sides have their own advantages. If the group is temple buildings and special buildings in the city, it is fine, but the residential buildings look relatively messy.

"This is not a stone road? But it seems to be more comfortable than a stone road..." Forches tapped the ground with his toes.

What Forches saw was the road, and just when he was stunned, a merchant on a horse ran past him not far from him. Forches was not surprised by such a scene, what he was surprised was that it was mounted on an iron shelf. With two wheels, a man rode on the iron frame and walked away, and the speed was no slower than that of a horse.What he saw was the mass-produced bicycle. Forches opened his mouth in surprise, and then started talking to the sergeant who was taking care of him casually, but to the sergeant, Forches just murmured and couldn’t hear it. understand bird language.

The sergeant was also a little helpless. He couldn't understand it. The other party was still very happy, but he didn't need to endure the torture for long. It seemed that 303 had already sent scholars who were proficient in Western languages.And because it was by train, it didn't take long to get here. For the first time, the sergeant thanked the smoothness of the railway line for preventing him from being bombarded by such a magic sound.

On the fourth day that the sergeant waited, a scholar from Yuzhou arrived. This was a young man who was not as old as the sergeant, but the sergeant still did not dare to look down on him, because this scholar came from the official school and was not only proficient in many kinds of things. Language, and its own force will definitely not be much worse than that of a big-headed soldier like them.

After the handover, the sergeant took his own people to the second line, and was responsible for taking care of the Roman sailors in the settlement. Only one person could go out at a time on the Forches ship. Just wait for the person in front to come back.There are only three linguistic scholars from Yuzhou in total, so only three people can be allowed out of the surveillance area at one time.

Forches looked at the young man wearing a brocade robe in front of him, and muttered, "How can he be a child? Is it reliable?"

"A friend from a foreign country, age doesn't tell the whole story, it's like I'm standing here talking to you. It means I know Latin and I'm familiar with it."

The young man skillfully answered Forches' question in Latin, and Forches had a ghostly expression on his face. .

chapter 629. strong navy

"For the first time, you can call me Zhang directly. Then what should I call you, Mr. Merchant?" Zhang Ping, who was too young, said with a smile. He was only 15 years old, but a person in the official school, 14 Many people have entered the university at the age of [-], and he took an extra linguistics course in the university out of hobby, so in this case, it is the students who have studied foreign languages ​​proficiently come forward.

However, there are not many students who are willing to learn foreign languages ​​in this era, so he is the size of three people. prepare.

Forches was astonished. After all, in this Far Eastern empire, it was unbelievable that such orthodox Latin could still be heard.Zhang Ping's Latin is orthodox, not like Forches' Latin but also with various non-standard colloquialisms, which makes Forches a little ashamed that he is not as good as a foreign child.

Forches pointed directly at the bicycle he didn't know, and quickly asked, "What is that, that it can run on its own? It's amazing!"

This question stumped Zhang Ping, because there is no word for bicycle in Latin, so he had to explain the general meaning of bicycle to Faurches, but this also made Faurches stunned for a while. of.Only today did Forches realize that there are such miraculous things in the world, and to hear what Zhang Ping meant, this was just a trifle.

In fact, what impressed Forches the most was the navy here. Dozens of steel warships surrounded their ships when he approached the territorial waters, and even boarded the ship for inspection before they were released.That kind of steel warship has no sails, and it runs quite fast. His ship is already the best clipper, and it is the pinnacle of Roman shipbuilding craftsmanship, but no matter how he escapes, the opponent will easily catch up.

Moreover, the artillery equipped on ironclad ships is also the only part of this period. It should be said that the whole era is still in the development stage of cold weapons, that is, Li Wei's family has ordered hot weapons, and they have also reached a very high level. It has achieved a crushing advantage over the surrounding areas.The reason why Forches was willing to stop the ship obediently for inspection was also because their merchant ship was smashed by the ironclad ship, and the mast was smashed, and the bow of the ship was smashed to pieces. Under the threat of death, anyone with a good mind would choose to use it. Safety first.
