Chapter 398 The Mausoleum of the Martyrs and the Black Powder

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of ak47!

That night, the army was mixed with joy and sorrow. It was gratifying that Qing Cang returned and temporarily repelled the coalition invasion. It was worried that a large number of coalition forces had not left, and their existence would pose a huge threat to Huaxia City.

In the main city, Qing Cang sat in the first place, and hundreds of civil and military personnel stood at the left and right.

A guard below said: "Report to the commander, the casualties of the enemy and us have been counted. The enemy has lost nearly 80,000 people, while our injuries and deaths are nearly 20,000. Our buildings have been severely damaged, especially the city of Ximen is already very dilapidated, and the other three gates have also suffered damage to the same degree."

Speaking of casualties, Guo Jia stood up and said, "Commander, our army has paid a heavy price to defend Huaxia City today. Many soldiers have dedicated their lives. One of them is the leader named Hua Feng, who won time for our South Gate. But unfortunately, he and five thousand soldiers died at the hands of the enemy. Such a loyal and courageous person should give them an explanation."

Qing Cang has never been a stingy person, especially for his own people. If a soldier dies, he will compensate their relatives with the highest standards, and will not be exceptions today. He thought for a while and he had his own ideas about Hua Feng's death.

He said, "I am very sorry for Huafeng's death. He represents the spirit of China. This spirit should be passed on. So I plan to build a tomb called the Huaxia Martyrs' Mausoleum. Everything will be carved on it. All the soldiers who died because of China are all martyrs of China, and today is set as Martyrs' Day. Every year, the entire army must go to the Martyrs' Mausoleum to worship them, and their spirit will be passed on forever. There should also be subsidies that should be obtained, and this cannot be vague."

Everyone applauded Qing Cang's decision, which reflected the highest respect for the dead.

Guo Jia said excitedly: "The commander's decision will make the loyal soul remembered, the spirit will be passed on, and future generations will remember the contributions these people have made to my China."

Not only him, but also hundreds of other civil and military personnel came out to praise Qing Cang's decision.

Qing Cang felt that this was what he should be, and these people should be treated like this.

"Then let this matter be left to Minister Yang, Minister Wu, please help."

Wu Chaojing and Yang Zizong came out and responded: "Yes, it will be no problem to hand it over to us."

Qing Cang nodded to express his satisfaction, and then said, "You two don't rush to go back first, I have something to do."

The martyr's affairs were finally handled, so he asked one more question: "Can Huafeng brothers and relatives be in Huaxia City?"

Wu Chaojing immediately picked up a notebook and quickly investigated: "Report to the commander, Hua Feng has a brother named Hua Xiong, who is leaving Shicheng at this time, and there is no more record. As for parents... there is no."

When the word Hua Xiong appeared, Qing Cang's heart moved. He immediately checked the list in "The Book of Famous Generals". It turns out that Hua Xiong was the man who should be in his thirties at this time and was in his prime.

Hua Xiong later became a military general under Dong Zhuo and was deeply loved by Dong Zhuo. His reputation began when the eighteen princes besieged Sishui Pass, because at that time, he killed Bao Zhong, Zu Mao, Yu She and Pan Feng alone, and later he was beheaded by Guan Yu because he underestimated him.

You should know that Guan Yu was unknown at that time, and he was eight years younger than him, and his physical strength was at its peak. He was nearly forty years old.

As for "Warm Wine and Kill Hua Xiong", analyze how long and how many rounds Guan Yu and Hua Xiong have played? How long does it take for a cup of hot wine to become warm? You can refer to the time when a cup of hot water becomes warm. It is estimated that it should take about ten minutes. And according to the description in the Romance, the two of them played very fiercely, with drums and shouts, which means that the two of them played for a while, but they didn't finish it in a short time. Considering that Guan Yu's habit is to start fighting without talking nonsense, the two should have had twenty or thirty rounds in this period of time.

It is not ordinary people who can persist under Guan Yu for such a long time, so it seems not surprising that he appears in "The Record of Famous Generals".

Lishicheng is where the Black Mountain Army is occupied, and Xun Yu is also trapped here. Perhaps after repelling the coalition forces this time, he can attack Lishicheng well and recruit Xun Yu and Hua Xiong under his command, which will kill two birds with one stone.

"I understand. We will deal with the matter between Huafeng's relatives after we retreat to the enemy. I ask you, how long can the food in Huaxia City last?"

Wu Chaojing replied:

"The city's grain can last for about two years"

Now the military strength has soared, not the population at that time, and the consumption of food has also increased. Of course, this is just the consumption of the military, and the people also have food reserves, but their food reserves will not exceed one year.

"It's very good. Pay close attention to food, especially to eliminate rats and insects, and do not lose a lot of food."

When fighting in front, logistics is very important. Once the food is cut off, it will be fatal to them.

Wu Chaojing was aware that during this period he explained some things, which were very important.

Then he faced Yang Zizong and said, "The city wall is now seriously damaged. You will take people to repair tomorrow. If you encounter an enemy, retreat to the city immediately. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

He believed that the coalition forces would probably have to rest for a short period of time because they caused the enemy's siege weapons to suffer serious losses. If they want to launch another attack, they must repair these weapons, otherwise many people will die.

"Minister Wang."

"exist"

"From the evening, you are responsible for repairing all weapons and increasing production, which is urgent!"

"yes"

"Also, I want you to arrange harvesters outside the four city gates overnight, divided into five floors, and this time you must severely damage the enemy!"

Wang Zongwei has a long way to go, and his responsibilities are even greater.

"Also, I have a piece of information in my hand. If you have time, you can take a look. When the coalition forces pass by, I hope you can see your research results. This piece of information must be kept in the safe and should not be circulated outside the box, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Wang Zongwei took the booklet from Qing Cang in confusion, with a few big words written on it: "The General Outline of Modern Cannons"

"There are structures recorded on it, and the more advanced the later it is, I don't ask you to build advanced cannons in a short time, but you can start from the primary and equip the entire Huaxia City as fast as possible. As for advanced ones, you can upgrade them later. With this weapon, you can run rampant in the world and be invincible."

He mentioned black gunpowder, which itself is just a medium-sized explosive. Europeans did not know how to use it until 1250, but in China it might have been earlier. At that time, it took people 50 to 75 years to find that black gunpowder was put into a pipe with an opening at one end and ignited, which was lethal. However, it took nearly 400 years for black gunpowder weapons to be officially used as a standard equipment for the troops. By the mid-15th century, black gunpowder weapons clearly showed great potential in improving lethality.

With this book, it can be used at least in a short time, because the book contains explanations on the ratio of black gunpowder, saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal are allocated at a ratio of 75:10:15, which is the most powerful. Understanding this ratio can save a lot of time to study, which is equivalent to getting a powerful weapon.

Why start from the primary level? The main reason is that the technological level cannot keep up with it, and some technologies cannot be realized, but only the primary level can be domineering. In the future, when the industrial level is improved, then upgrade and develop. With this thing, you basically don’t need to carry a rushing car or a siege machine to complete the siege.

Again, this book took his twenty days of health, but it was all worth it.

Wang Zongwei was probably confused when he heard Qing Cang say this. "There are such powerful weapons in the world? How powerful are they?"

"It's more damage, it can be ten times more than a catapult, or even more."

Qing Cang didn't know how to describe it, so he had to compare it with a trench machine. Everyone had seen the power of this trench machine, so when he talked about it, everyone present felt incredible.

Someone said: "That means that with this divine thing, the whole world belongs to us."

"Just don't know how much time is needed?"

"Xu Dezhi."

"exist"

"I want you to cooperate with Minister Wang's research and then integrate your blacksmith shops together. I want to increase the scale, because the raw materials needed for iron will increase dozens of times in the next step."

Finally, he set up a steel mill, but this is not urgent. He takes it step by step. After sorting out all the processes, it is not a problem. He also wants to gradually replace manual labor. In terms of power, the steam engine can be used as power, so he puts his hopes on Bai Ye, hoping that he can improve the development of the steam engine.

"Yes, I will definitely be able to cooperate with everyone's work."

Qing Cang then said: "The cannon I just mentioned is the highest secret and must not be circulated!"

"yes!"

Afterwards, he arranged some things, including allowing the cities he occupied to prepare for weapons and personnel drills in advance to prevent sudden attacks by the enemy... After that, he asked the entire army to rest and fight for a day, and everyone was tired.
