After a few days, Qing Cang was not only listening to the news, but also focusing on the manufacturing of cannons.

At this time, Xun Yu and Guo Jia were with him. They had telegrams and other items in their hands, and were reporting what had happened during this period.

Guo Jia first said, "Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo were punished after returning to Luoyang for their unfavorable attack on our city. In my opinion, they will not come to kick our iron plate in a short time, and they will rest for a while."

Qing Cang said, "But I heard that Emperor Ling ordered Zhu Jun to be the general of the right chariot, so I had to guard against it."

It was not without reason that he said this. It was a while ago that Emperor Ling of Han must have been prepared to do so. Zhu Jun also returned to the funeral.

Xun Yu said, "Don't worry, commander."

Xun Yu's opinion is very important. Now Qing Cang has to ask the two people about some major issues. If they make sense and convince him, then do what they say. If there is any difference, they have to discuss it again until the discussion is concluded. Therefore, the vitality of the entire Huaxia City has reached a new level.

Qing Cang asked, "Oh? What is the point of General Xun?"

Xun Yu said slowly: "Boyu and Qiangqu rebelled against the Han Dynasty and no longer became alliances with the Han Dynasty. From this point of view, the status of the Han court is in danger. You must know that the entire Huns occupied most of Liangzhou. Now Liangzhou is the main transportation route in the world and has the important task of protecting the western gateway of the Han Dynasty. Compared to us, that piece of land is even larger. If even Liangzhou is lost, then he, the emperor, is over. Moreover, compared with us, Liangzhou is better and weak, it is obvious at a glance."

It turned out that Xun Yu had the latest news in his hand and made a judgment from it. He was very clear.

Guo Jia also said: "I agree with Xun Yu's view. It's like a gate. Once the door opens, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Qing Cang said straight: "Well, in this way, our Huaxia City will develop well for at least a long time until the Liangzhou Rebellion was lifted."

Guo Jia said: "Yes, in addition, we have not occupied the city recently and have not done any extreme behavior. This has temporarily paralyzed Emperor Ling of Han."

It can be said that Huaxia City has really begun to develop in a dead state. It has not occupied other cities anymore and can indeed confuse the enemy.

Xun Yu joined in and said, "Yes, now the Central General Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong persuaded Emperor Ling to increase the tax on land in the country, ten coins per mu, to build palaces and cast bronze men. Then it can be judged that the other emperors are not interested in fighting and will send troops mostly from the opinions of those ministers."

Xun Yu's basis was that Emperor Ling of Han was all about renovating and building palaces and casting bronze men, and he would definitely not take the major troubles of Huaxia City in mind. Moreover, Dong Zhuo came to attack Huaxia City. Not only did they not get any advantage, they were killed or injured. They could not even raise all their troops, and one hundred thousand people died. How many soldiers would they have to die? Therefore, it is not that simple to attack Huaxia City.

As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, a telegram came up. Guo Jia took it and looked at it with a happy look on his face.

He said: "As Xun Yu said, Beigong Boyu, Qiangqu and others attacked the Sanfu area. Emperor Ling issued an edict and ordered the left cavalry general Huangfu Song to guard Chang'an and command the army to attack."

Why did Qiangqu Shanyu dare to fight against the Ling Emperor? It started with the catapult and the chasing car. They mastered two technologies. They could create a large number of siege weapons. Due to their previous cooperation with the Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, which caused their economy to be severely hit. Only by occupying the territory of the Han court can it be used as a supplement.

After the analysis of the two, Qing Cang was relieved.

"In this way, we really don't have to worry about the attack in Huaxia City."

The three of them chatted for another day until a guard entered the meeting hall.

"Report"

"explain"

"Minister Wang and Minister Yang asked for a meeting."

"Let them come in."

"yes!"

At this time, Wang Zongwei and Yang Zizong entered the meeting hall, and they said, "Report to the commander, we have a phased report."

"Well, Minister Wang, please tell me first."

Wang Zongwei said: "After this period of improvement, the cannon range has been qualitatively improved, from one hundred feet to two miles away, but the range is sometimes very unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad. I am still looking for the reason for this."

"If you do well, you can try the length and width of the barrel and test the cannon with both power and distance. Also, you can transform the rifle and you will definitely have better results. My psychological range is ten miles."

"Yes, Commander, I will definitely study the relationship."

"Very good, you can take this drawing and study it."

Qing Cang picked up a drawing from the table with ten spears drawn on it. Wang Zongwei took the drawing and took a look. "Flintlock rifle? What is this?"

The flintlock rifle was invented by Ma Han, a Frenchman born in 1547 in a family of gun artisans, locksmiths and watchmakers. It was improved on the basis of a rotary musket. The steel wheel of the clockwork was removed and a piece of flint was clamped on the jaw of the hammer. A strike anvil was installed beside the fire transmission hole. When shooting, the trigger was pulled. Under the action of a spring, the flint was heavily hit by the fire door, Mars appeared, and the gunpowder was ignited. The shooting process was greatly simplified, the firing rate and shooting accuracy were improved, and it was easy to use, and the cost was low, making it easy to mass production. In the mid-17th century, many European armies generally equipped flintlock rifles, which were in 1848, and were equipped for more than 200 years.

"You can understand it as a small cannon, called a gun. This kind of gun is transformed with cannons as the prototype. After your cannon is tested, I also want you to produce a flintlock gun and then directly equip it to the Chinese Legion. This gun is powerful, and at that time, we will definitely be invincible in the world."

"yes"

Wang Zongwei retreated and Yang Zizong stepped forward and said, "Commander, the expanded city wall has built eight huge corner towers, and a hundred cannons are reserved on it, which can achieve 270-degree attacks. Then all foundations will be laid. In less than a month, the entire city wall will be built."

The speed of building a city wall with 100,000 people must be astonishingly fast.

"Has the phone line been installed?"

Just a few days ago, Qing Cang spent ten days of health to exchange for a total of nine telephone lines and solar telephones, including one in the main city and one in each of the eight gates. In this way, he could directly command the attacks of the eight gates in the main city.

"Return to the commander, I have asked someone to set up the telephone poles and they will be able to install them in three days."

"Okay, you did a good job. If you need anything, just ask, the entire Huaxia City, including me, will help you."
