Chapter 269 Unlocked Technology
"Has you already got involved with Li Zicheng?" Chu Yun, who was far away in Liaodong, learned about the information from the Intelligence Department, was quite surprised by the Intelligence Department's ability.
Supporting Li Zicheng to attract the firepower of the Ming army was a step he expected. If Li Zicheng could get smoothly, especially conquering the Ming Dynasty's capital, it might be a better thing for Chu Yun. In this way, Chu Yun would not have to bear the blame for destroying the Ming Dynasty, and could reshuffle it, causing the mainland order to collapse, and completely eliminate the influence of old bureaucrats and landlords in the Central Plains.
However, the idea is good. If Li Zicheng still couldn't get up with Chu Yun's support, Chu Yun would have to lead his troops south personally.
"Yes. After more than a month of arrangements from our Intelligence Department, Li Zicheng has set up a bureau to get to know our people. According to the scheduled plan, they will provide them with 500 old-style muskets for a fee this winter. Whether they will continue to provide firearms in the future depends on their performance." Ella of the Intelligence Department reported to Chu Yun.
"This matter was jointly collaborated by the Daming Intelligence Group and the Mongolian Intelligence Department? Is it a merit for them and give them more bonuses during the assessment at the end of the year." Chu Yun said, "What's the progress in the Nanyang Intelligence Group?"
"The Nanyang side is working hard to obtain the terrain, navigation charts of many islands, and bribe some important pirate leaders to prepare for dispatching an expeditionary force to control the maritime trade line next year." Ella said, "Sir, next year we really have to fight the East China Sea and the Nanyang Sea first, instead of advancing to the Ming Dynasty on land?"
"This is a good question. I dreamed of taking over the Ming Dynasty and taking the Ming Dynasty as our main body. But that was a population of hundreds of millions, and it might be very fast to conquer it, but I don't know how many years it will be painful. It took us two or three years to support three million people, and it took at least ten years to quell the wars and droughts of millions of square kilometers." Chu Yun said, "What's even more terrible is not the weak army of the Ming Dynasty, but some deep-rooted drought ideas. It's not that we have no ability to go south, but that I don't want to take over this broken jar."
"So is the adults who sponsor the peasant army and the court to fight against each other to break the jar?" Ella asked.
"You can say this, you won't be destroyed or established." Chu Yun said.
If Emperor Chongzhen knew Chu Yun’s thoughts, he would definitely be depressed. The billions of people he regarded as treasures became a bottomless pit burden in Chu Yun’s eyes. Moreover, Chu Yun also secretly supported the Shaanxi-North Korean Rebel Army and opposed him.
Now, on the East Asian continent, except for the Ming, Goryeo and Mobei region that have not been pacified, there is no object that can pose a threat to the Resurrection Liao army. The three tribes in Mobei were defeated, and even Chechen Khan were captured. They were afraid of the front of the Resurrection Liao army. Thank God, they could defend Mobei and were unable to organize cavalry to attack again. What's more, so many Mongolian tribes in Mobei that depended on the Resurrection Liao army were eyeing each other.
Goryeo and the Fu Liao army have a friendly relationship for the time being, and with Goryeo's military strength, it really cannot pose a real threat to the Fu Liao army. Ningyuan's Ming army is also weak. The Japanese shogunate at the sea is closed to the country and will not hinder the progress of the Fu Liao army.
"I guess I can only rest and recuperate this winter. The mainland has almost settled down. By controlling the maritime routes, we can cut off the obstacles of other forces to our unification of the Ming Dynasty."
Chu Yun thought about the next strategy and always felt that there was something missing.
What is it?
"Host, after half a year of evaluation, the population under your rule has reached 3 million, and the living standards have improved, and the humanitarian restrictions have been successfully unlocked. From now on, you can turn on military technology that is higher than the existing technology." Suddenly, a system prompt sound rang in Chu Yun's mind.
The humanitarian restrictions were unlocked?! Chu Yun, who had almost forgotten this incident, was surprised to hear the news. He was still unlocking the new generation of military technology at such a critical moment!
"Aila, you go down first. I want to think about what I will do next." Chu Yun was eager to see which new technologies could be unlocked, but he couldn't let Ella go, so he said.
When Ella left, Chu Yun couldn't wait to open the tech tree view. In the military technology item, the advanced weapon of destruction technology that had been restricted by humanity was unlocked.
"Dresses M1841 type firing needle rifle technology, a reliable breech rifle commonly equipped by the Prussian army in the Prussian war, has a faster firing rate than the front-mounted rifle, and soldiers can crawl and shoot, reducing casualties. It requires 30,000 civilization points."
"Armstrong breech gun technology, a field artillery used by the British infantry in the Second Crow War, can also be used as a naval gun. The Armstrong gun range is twice that of the old gun, and can reach two kilometers, and it is powerful. However, this generation of breech gun technology is not yet mature, lacks armor-breaking ability, is expensive, and has high requirements for gunners and shells. It requires 100,000 civilization points."
"Armstrong improved breech gun technology, and the modified Armstrong gun at the end of the 19th century can be quickly loaded, with stronger power and longer range. It requires a civilization point of 500,000."
"Krupp's breech cannon technology, a breech cannon technology that was loved by the Qing Dynasty at the end of the 19th century. It requires 750,000 civilization points."
In addition to the muskets and artillery that Chu Yun was concerned about, Chu Yun discovered that he had also activated the machine gun series technology. Among them, Gatlin's hand-cranked machine gun requires 200,000 civilization points and 1 million civilization points of Maxim's heavy machine gun.
When Chu Yun felt pain when he saw the dense civilization points, he felt a pain. General Electric's tungsten wire incandescent lamp needed 200,000 civilization points, which means that an early Gatlin could replace a more practical tungsten wire incandescent lamp. The early Gatlin was a technology in the mid-19th century, while the tungsten wire incandescent lamp was a technology in the early 20th century. It can be seen that military technical requirements have been improved by the system.
But what is interesting is that some of the pre-technology of these military technologies are the same, that is, if one military technology is turned on, its pre-technology, such as steel, mold, lathe and other improved technologies will be turned on, and another military technology does not need to restart the pre-technology, thereby reducing the need for civilization points.
