In a word, the construction of the army's spiritual and material civilization must keep up and be more strict. In this way, they can control more territory and territory in the future and have strong cohesion. Even if they are thousands of miles away, they will always regard themselves as the people and soldiers of the Chinese Empire. This is the most critical point.

I remember that at the end of last autumn, this group of officers did not take a boat to go out from the Yellow River or the Yangtze River to take a waterway. Instead, they walked straight south with full arms. They walked 21 days in total, and they walked all the way, without any one behind.

According to Wei Yunqi's words, it is a long-distance marching, which is most suitable for tempering their spirit and body, making them stronger and more courageous. For this, I agree with it. There was a team in later generations who walked out of the 25,000-mile Long March that was shocked by the world with just his feet.

The Imperial Guards' firearms testers are now close to being formed. Their training is even more difficult than other Imperial Guards. In order to be closer to actual combat, a large-scale military exercise is carried out almost every ten days, and the ammunition is consumed. It is precisely because of this training that their skills and tactics have been greatly improved.

Two months ago, after receiving a letter of help from Murong Daxi, the new Tuyuhun king Murong Fuyun sent another army to fight against Dongtuyuhun established by Murong Daxi.

Nearly 100,000 troops were dispatched to come with murderous intent. Murong Daxi led his army to fight, lost consecutive battles, and finally gathered 20,000 remaining troops to flee to the West Sea and asked for help from our Chinese Empire. After careful discussion, the court sent the Imperial Guards' firearms tester to the plateau to cooperate with the current Longyou Governor Pei Renji.

Two days ago, I received the battle report. The Imperial Guards' Firearms Division went to fight in the first formation, but not the entire division was fighting, but the three thousand breastplate lances were cruising with two thousand East Tuyuhun cavalry and two thousand Chinese Fuxing Army cavalry.

As a result, he met the vanguard army of Tuyuhun. When the 30,000 cavalry saw this small cavalry team, they rushed over with murderous aura. Qu Tuquan, who led his army to detect the enemy situation, asked the East Tuyuhun cavalry and the Chinese Fuxing Army cavalry to evacuate first, and then led the 3,000 cavalry under his command to start a unique guerrilla war.

The lasting lasts for more than an hour, both sides chase and flee. The musket cavalry of Forbidden Dihun relies on their carefully selected horses and their excellent cavalry, and more importantly, they hold weapons with a range far exceeding bows and arrows, and are in the battle of retreating and attacking.

The attack was killed and injured Tuyuhun's vanguard army more than 5,000, and the 30,000 Tuyuhun's vanguards could only give up the idea of ​​continuing to pursue. In this battle, the breastplate muslan cavalry showed their hideous fangs for the first time. In the future, the world will be staring at them.

Afterwards, with the arrival of the main force of Tuyuhun, Qu Tuquan retreated to Weiding City, the capital of Xihai County, and guarded the city with Pei Yuanqing, who was guarding the Xihai.

Murong Fuyun's siege troops can be described as "destroying bad luck". On the first day, without using artillery, the eight thousand-breasted musketeers used their long-term training results, using muskets farther than crossbows, causing heavy casualties to the Tuyuhun army to siege. On the first day, the siege was three consecutive times, and at most they retreated as soon as they arrived at the city.

The next day, Murong Fuwan, the commander of the army sent by Murong Fuyun, decided not to test again but to attack directly, and ordered the army to move forward, intending to take down Weiding City, Xihai County, in one breath. As a result, the artillery reinforcement regiment, which had already carried the artillery on the city wall, had just begun the first attack, and the Tuyuhun army was scattered with a sharp cannon.

Nearly fifty artillery were concentrated in the west of Weiding City. In the first round of artillery bombardment, the entire central army in Tuyuhun was blown up in a mess, and even more, these plateau earthlings who had never appreciated the artillery were scared to death. At this time, the west gate was wide open, with three thousand breastplate lances, 20,000 East Tuyuhun cavalry and 5,000 Chinese Fuxing Army cavalry rushing out and attacking the Tuyuhun army formation that had been frightened to the panic.

Tuyuhun's coach Murong Fuwan directly blew away the corpse in the first round of artillery fire. In the end, a prisoner of war identified a corpse with only the upper half of his body and was wearing iron armor. Only then did he realize that Tuyuhun's coach had become the first high-level general in history to fall under artillery fire.

In the subsequent pursuit, the Tuyuhun army killed and injured 4,77, and captured 15,000 enemies. The rest were scattered in the fields. The amazing power of the artillery was directly penetrated by these Tuyuhun people in the name of the thunder of the gods.

The powerful gunfire power is not only intimidating, but also intimidating. Its ultra-long range and suddenness that you can never believe.

Murong Daxi, who was directly wiped with tears and snot, hoped that such a magic weapon could be obtained. Of course, Qu Tuquan rejected it directly, but Pei Yuanqing was also very jealous. After the victory, the Imperial Guards' firearms tester had not yet returned to Chang'an, and almost a day came to Chang'an with a pigeon letter.

It's nothing more than nonsense about Weiding City that is extremely dangerous. I hope the court can take into account the situation in Xihai County and leave dozens of cannons so that he can play with it every day.

The court officials were amused and crying about Pei Renji's shameless tricks. In the end, this guy was ordered not to obstruct the return of the Imperial Guards' firearms tester to Chang'an. However, this young master also made a promise to Pei Yuanqing.

Half a year later, an artillery battalion will be assigned to Xihai County, which will be under Pei Yuanqing's rule. The guy directly slapped his chest and said that he would definitely treat this artillery battalion as his own father, and would ensure that no gunner or artillery would be lost.

Artillery can be used as a strategic force in the future Chinese Empire army and can be equipped to the border guards first, but the musket troops are different. Musket soldiers need not only training, but also strong logistics to supplement them.

Although artillery is also needed, the use of artillery is not as frequent as that of musketeers. More importantly, musketeers must form a scale to have sufficient lethality. Therefore, they can only be replaced at the regiment level or division level.

However, only one battalion of artillery is enough for the enemy to be terrified, and its power is far beyond its actual combat power. Therefore, it is more feasible to allocate artillery small amounts to each side army.

The copper mines exchanged from the Turks reached 200,000 kilograms per month, or 100 tons. The carriages used before were used, and two hundred four-wheeled carriages or eighty six-wheeled carriages were used.

Nowadays, you only need to use a train to pull the copper mine while carrying passengers. It only takes five days to pull all of it. Now, in order to meet the needs, you have to use the original No. 4 steam locomotive for transportation.

Now, after the steam locomotive manufacturing plant has been transformed and expanded, it has been finalized. Next month, the No. 6 steam locomotive will begin trial operation. If it can really achieve the expected carrying capacity, then it will start construction of ten vehicles at the same time. After three months, ten No. 6 steam locomotives can be shipped out of the factory every month.

The railway from Chang'an to Chengdu is being accelerated. Although it will make road construction difficult to cross the Qinling Mountains, with gunpowder, nothing is a problem. It is expected that when you pass through the Qinling Mountains, there will be more than twenty tunnels, of which three will be between twenty and fifteen miles.

This is extremely rare in the history of world railway construction? Well, it should be called unprecedented. There is no rustic country in this era that can build railways?

The number of workers invested exceeded 30,000, 30,000. Think about it, the Pacific Railway built by the American thing was the first railway that ran across the North American continent and was rated as one of the seven major industrial miracles in the world since the Industrial Revolution by the British ECi.

The Pacific Railway has made great contributions to the economic development of the United States. In a sense, it was this railway that made modern America. It was more than 3,000 kilometers long and crossed the entire North American continent. It was the first intercontinental railway in the world. This railway, which was regarded as a miracle in the minds of Americans, was extremely difficult under the conditions at that time. Among them, the construction process was steep. The terrain of Mount Silla Nevada was the most difficult to build the Pacific Railway.

More than 14,000 Chinese workers joined the construction of this railway. On the Central Pacific Railway, which is nearly 1,100 kilometers long in the western section of the Pacific Railway, 95% of the work was completed in the four years when Chinese workers joined the road construction army.

Think about it, now we have used 30,000, which is more than twice the number of Chinese workers who built the Pacific Railway in the past. In addition, the distance from Chang'an to Chengdu is only more than 700 kilometers.

Therefore, the expected opening of traffic within five years is definitely not a boastful style of playing the UK and catching up with the US, but a working period that is absolutely carefully considered.

Nowadays, on the Bashu Plain, more than 5,000 workers are struggling with soil and stone ballast, while more than 15,000 workers are working hard to open up more than 20 tunnels from Chang'an to Chengdu along the cement straight road.

For these tunnels, I even ordered the steam engine factory to speed up the production of large-scale steam engines, which can be used in engineering at that time. For example, it can be used in tunnel excavation work. The most important thing is to become the power for transporting materials and gravel.

The Chinese Empire has gradually left its original track and embarked on the glorious industrial revolution more than a thousand years ahead of schedule. Nowadays, major printing factories have replaced their cannons, and the efficiency of printing using steam engines has been greatly improved.

In addition, after the weapon manufacturer used a steam water press, the forging speed was also improved accordingly.

All the copper materials obtained from the Turks were thrown into the gun production factory, where they would turn into cannons, or shell shells of yellow Negne.
