Chapter 206 Final preparations

 "Your Highness, you even know how to treat people?" Zhang Yaoer was surprised and almost blurted out, but she was worried that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly looked at Liu Xiang nervously.

Liu Heng smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has traveled overseas for a long time and has seen a lot. The various wonderful methods he has learned are indeed shocking."

It is a common problem of modern people to know a little bit about everything. But in ancient times, it was indeed not something that people with limited information could understand.

Under Zhang Yao'er's surprised gaze, Liu Xiang continued: "His Royal Highness also intends to establish a women's medical team in the army, but due to limited conditions, it has not been possible to implement it, so we have to let the soldiers learn some simple methods."

Zhang Yao'er's eyes lit up and she said with great anticipation: "It means that it will definitely be implemented in the future. Women can also serve as soldiers and go to the battlefield?"

"I don't know if they are female soldiers." Liu Xiang shook his head and said: "But accompanying the army for treatment and treatment on the battlefield will definitely be used, as long as you are brave enough."

Zhang Yao'er nodded, turned her eyes, and looked at the veteran's movements seriously. She pursed her lips slightly as she watched the big, thick hands handling the wound awkwardly, applying medicine to bandage it to stop the bleeding.

There are many gold-creating medicines in ancient times, but the lowest cost, or the life-saving medicine for the poor, is Baicao Shuang.

The black soot attached to the bottom of pots or chimneys after burning straw, wheat straw, and weeds is Baicao Shuang. It has the effects of stopping bleeding, eliminating accumulation, detoxifying and dissipating fire, and can be taken internally or externally.

Baicao cream can also be added with other drugs, such as camphor for reducing swelling and pain, detoxification, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, yellow wax for reducing sores and promoting muscle growth, rosin, etc., for better results.

Huang Li didn't understand the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine, but his innovation was that every soldier should try to carry a first-aid kit and know some simple treatment methods.

It doesn't cost much resources, and it doesn't take long. If you study hard, it only takes a day or two. But it can reduce a lot of unnecessary deaths and extend a lot of lives.

Liu Xiang turned his head and looked at An Kun, Pi Xiong and others walking over, with a faint smile on his face.

Strength is respected, and it is a hundred times more effective than empty words. After this battle, Liu Xiang and Pi Xiong should be able to get more respect from An Kun and get a greater say.

…………………

Jinling has been an imperial continent since ancient times. Why did the imperial legacy not last long?

Huang Li didn't know that Wu Sangui was looking down on him. His thoughts were completely different from Wu Sangui's. He was young, but with thousands of years of historical knowledge, how could he not know that Wenwen Township was a tomb of heroes?

Even if he could capture Nanjing, Huang Li did not expect to hold on to it for a long time. His foundation is in eastern Sichuan, and this fact cannot be changed in a short time.

For him, once his foundation is solid and his strength is sufficient, wouldn't it be easy to level Jiangnan?

First capture Bashu and Jingchu, and then go down the river. The Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and even the Hunan Army destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it was the same routine.

The Ming army has occupied Bashu and has met the first condition. Jingchu was severely harmed and basically lost its capital to resist the Ming army.

"It's not that we can't fight, it's just that the time hasn't come yet." Huang Li soaked comfortably in the bathtub, thinking about his upcoming confrontation with the big boss Wu Sangui.

At this time, he had returned to Nan'an District and began to make final pre-war preparations.

The production data report submitted by the arsenal made him quite satisfied, and he was more confident about the upcoming expedition.

The casting process of carrying guns has long been mature, and as long as the materials are sufficient, the daily production can reach fifty or sixty. According to the current inventory, the troops attacking Guizhou can be equipped with more than a thousand guns.

Of course, Huang Li did not plan to take them all with him. He wanted to leave 200 sticks for the troops returning to the division for training, and then gradually increase their equipment to increase their combat effectiveness.

There are more than a thousand guns, more than 3,000 rocket launchers, a dozen spray trains, thirty wrought iron cannons, and more than a dozen bronze ten-pound cannons.

Huang Li didn't leave much behind for the troops returning to the division, and almost emptied all the weapons and ammunition in stock. Anyway, the arsenal had been producing, so it was just a matter of replenishing it for other troops.

"Wu Sangui, you wouldn't have thought that our army would be able to send troops to assist Shuixi before the attack on Huguang was completely over, would you?"

Huang Li stood up from the bucket with a clatter, put on his slippers, took the long cloth from the side of the bucket and wrapped it around his waist, walked around the screen, and returned to the room.

After he was fully dressed, he called Yun Shu and Yu Mo to come in and tidy up.

Someone is combing their hair again, what a joy! Huang Li slightly closed his eyes, feeling the touch of the gentle hands and the faint fragrance that penetrated his nose.

It's a pity that we have to leave this gentle hometown again the day after tomorrow. Fighting with warriors and horses is the main theme, and it is not the time to enjoy comfort.

Yumo carefully and gently combed His Highness's hair, her eyes falling on the clear-cut profile from time to time.

She secretly put her little face close to her and smelled the faint fragrance of His Highness's body and hair, which made her face flush.

Not far away, Yun Shu covered her mouth and snickered, then gently shaved her face at Yumo, which made Yumo so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to raise her head.

Huang Li opened his eyes, and Yumo quickly took a step back, bowed and said, "Your Highness, your comb is done."

"Okay." Huang Li complimented with a smile without even looking at it, then stood up, dressed neatly, and strode out of the house.

R&D, finalization, production and manufacturing, the operation of the arsenal is getting smoother and smoother. With the increase of personnel, skilled craftsmanship and orderly management, production efficiency has been greatly improved.

The large number of pig iron cannons and copper cannons captured provided quite a wealth of materials.

Military production is Huang Li's most important industry, and raw materials are shifting from seizure and purchase to self-production. The Pujiang area of ​​Qiongzhou in Western Sichuan is rich in pyrite, and mining records have been recorded since the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, an iron smelting plant was set up in Pujiang.

.

Since there are such ready-made conditions, even if the Shuixi War is delayed, when the army returns to rest and recuperate, and the navy is expanded, it will march into Chengdu within half a year.

With both iron and sulfur, plus the collection of soil saltpeter, self-reliance in military production has been almost completely solved.

During this expedition to Huguang, Huang Li's unexpected harvest was graphite. It is said that in ancient times, it was also known as Shidai. "Pink and Dai in the Sixth Palace have no color", and the Dai among them is Shidai, which is used by women to draw their eyebrows.

Since it is a pigment, it is naturally a supplies for art and painting. Many natural minerals were used in ancient traditional paintings.

For example, there are more than a dozen pigments such as cinnabar, hematite, limonite, atamanite, azurite, lapis lazuli, graphite, pyrolusite, kaolinite, etc.

With the physical object of graphite and some materials, Huang Li was able to purchase large quantities and start making graphite clay crucibles, which greatly improved the technology of smelting steel.

You should know that there are more than 20 countries in the world that produce natural graphite, and China’s total graphite reserves rank first in the world, and it is widely distributed and there is no shortage.

It's a pity that Huang Li's time is limited, so he can only give guidance to the craftsmen and assign development tasks, but he can't do it himself.

"It may be the best way to let the craftsmen explore and move forward. However, pushing back the seedlings and creating a loose foundation is detrimental to long-term development."

After the attack on Huguang, the strength of the Ming army increased greatly, and the situation also improved greatly. The pressure on Huang Li was suddenly relieved a lot. Some technological advancements are no longer so urgent.

Even if the crucible steelmaking is successful, due to insufficient quantity, it can only be used as tool steel for the time being. Such as hard steel drill bits, molds, etc., but it can greatly speed up the speed of gun making.

You know, the most time-consuming part of making a gun at that time was the barrel. If you use an iron rod to drill holes, the safety of the manufactured gun can be guaranteed.

Similarly, the crucible can also produce elastic steel, thus enabling the manufacture of flintlock guns to meet the conditions for large-scale mass production.

………………

The fields had already been plowed, and Huang Li also ordered people to apply plant ash and manure to create the best conditions for transplanting potatoes and peppers.

Without chemical fertilizers, the yield per mu of agricultural crops grown at that time was really unsatisfactory. Potatoes were the best crop to solve this problem and ensure that soldiers and civilians could eat without fear.

Chili is a very good condiment, and it is the best seasoning for ordinary people who usually don’t have clear soup.

Ying Ying did not know the significance of these two overseas wonders, but His Highness the Crown Prince's instructions and entrustment made her work conscientiously and not dare to slack off.

Carrying about twenty kilograms of potatoes and several kilograms of peppers, she and her sister came to Chongqing. Soon after, they were solemnly arranged to stay in Nan'an District. This was personally ordered by His Highness, and no one dared to neglect it.

In addition to the ready-made houses, several farmers nearby also learned how to grow potatoes and peppers under Ying Ying's command. Agricultural experts were trained for future large-scale promotion.

"Have you remembered everything my sister taught you? This is an overseas mutant brought back by His Highness, and he personally taught my sister step-by-step how to breed it. Well, there is also mine."

Ying Weier was wearing a little straw hat, with her little face raised, she was very proud, even a little arrogant, and said to a few honest farmers: "It turns out that it is less than one kilogram, and the harvest is nearly twenty kilograms. Do you think it's awesome?"



The farmers nodded repeatedly, looking at the potato fields and pepper fields that had been planted, and then looking at the two sisters, their eyes were full of respect.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince's apprentice is a master of cultivating exotic species overseas. Even though she is a woman, this master is really powerful!"

"No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally confessed that the cultivated land was originally used to grow potatoes and peppers, and was prepared for the two female apprentices."

Everyone was thinking in their hearts, and they didn't dare to look down on these two women. The younger one was even more impressive, while the older one seemed more reserved.

Ying Ying really didn't expect that her sister was going crazy all by herself. Seeing how she frightened these honest farmers, she wanted to cover her face, but she was too embarrassed to expose her in public.

"Uncles, have you heard clearly?" Ying Ying said politely: "Actually, it's very easy, not difficult at all. Fertilize it diligently and take care of it diligently. As for this potato, His Highness said the yield per mu can reach two to three thousand kilograms!



There was a commotion among the crowd, and they couldn't help but look surprised and suspicious, and whispered.

There were no chemical fertilizers at that time. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, rice was most commonly grown in the south. Although the yield per mu was constantly rising, it was basically between 200 and 300 jins. A particularly good harvest did not exceed 400 jins.<
