In the deep mountains and old forests, money has no effect and cannot fill the stomach. People in Xin’an Town use food as the currency of barter.

Therefore, Lu Ming always rewards food.

It just so happens.

Xin’an Town lacks everything except food.

The discovery of the iron mine solved Lu Ming’s long-standing headache. As long as it was mined, Xin’an Town would be able to have a large amount of iron.

Lu Ming was also able to produce a large number of flintlocks, projectiles, and even artillery and shells that consumed a lot of iron, greatly increasing the combat effectiveness of the armed guards.

As long as there is enough black powder, artillery will come in handy at any time, giving this cold weapon era a heart-breaking technological punch.

It didn’t take long.

The townspeople opened a mountain road directly to the mine, and then, under the command of the old man, mined the iron ore in the mountain and transported it continuously to the stockyard outside Xin’an Town.

Lu Ming only needs to extract the iron from the ore.

Less than half a month.

There is already too much iron in Xin’an Town to use up.。

After some acceleration.

Lu Ming produced a total of 600 flintlock guns and countless iron projectiles, as well as 80 light steel cannons and 20 heavy cannons.

Including those made before, Lu Ming now has a total of 1,000 flintlock guns in his hands!

According to the current scale of the Armed Guards, so many flintlock guns cannot be used. For this reason, Lu Ming continues to expand the Armed Guards. With the population of Xin’an Town, this is not a problem.

On the artillery.

The light artillery is three feet long and has a caliber of three inches, that is, the gun body is about one meter long and the caliber is about ten centimeters. This kind of artillery is very light, even without the use of a gun carriage.

A few people can carry it.

Conducive to high-mobility combat.

The heavy artillery is one foot long and has a caliber of four inches. When converted to modern units, the gun body is about three meters and the caliber is 12 centimeters. It uses a huge amount of gunpowder and is relatively powerful.

This thing can be shot into the enemy’s formation, and a single iron bullet can pierce a group of people. The disadvantage is that it is extremely heavy and heavy. Unless it is arranged in advance, it will be difficult to move around during combat.

The amount of gunpowder used in the artillery is even more alarming. The light artillery is okay, the amount of gunpowder used at one time is only about two hundred grams, but the heavy artillery uses several kilograms.

Not to mention taking it out to fight, just one test firing was very distressing. Before having a large amount of gunpowder reserves, Lu Ming really didn’t dare to use it.

On range.

Light artillery can hit five hundred meters away, and heavy artillery can easily hit five miles away, which is far beyond the range of large crossbows.

If fighting the Beishuo people’s cavalry, they only need to deploy light artillery, and they can easily carry out several rounds of bombardment beyond the range of their bows and arrows.

Give it a heavy blow.

The Beishuo people’s cavalry relies on speed. Even if they carry large crossbows, they rely entirely on the bows and arrows in their hands to shoot distant targets. If they encounter light artillery, they will only get beaten.

After triggering the artillery-making technology, subsequent technologies will be unlocked.。

In fact, Lu Ming thought that if he could occupy a city, his development speed would be much faster. The situation in the border areas was complicated and sensitive, and it was really difficult to do it.

If there is any commotion, it is very likely that the Dacheng imperial court and Beishuo will be prov

He Songsheng thought for a moment and gave a suggestion。

“Sir, why don’t you consider succeeding the country?”

“Following the country?

Lu Ming was confused: “Where is Jiguo? “”

“Sir, please look. He

Songsheng drew a simple map on the ground and said: “Xin’an Town is located on the border of Dacheng. To the south is Dacheng and to the north is Beishuo.” ”

As he spoke,

he carved out a small piece of land at the eastern junction of Dacheng and Beishuo: “Fifty miles to the east of Xin’an Town, by the sea, is where Jiguo is.。”

“Jiguo is in a special location. It neither submits to Dacheng nor bows to Beishuo. It is also an extremely important trade place between Dacheng and Beishuo. ”

It’s called a country, but it’s actually a city.

Jiguo is a large city, covering an area of about twelve square kilometers, covering an extremely large area. It used to be the capital of the old imperial court and was once very prosperous.

The most important thing is that Jiguo has A port, whether Dacheng or Beishuo occupies this place, their warships can use it to go straight down to the south.

Or go straight up to the north. It is

of great strategic significance.

Dacheng and Beishuo have not never competed for this place, and in the end both sides will lose. There is no other outcome. Both sides know that they must never let the other party occupy this port.

The result is that both sides allow Jiguo to remain neutral. Jiguo is too small to cause trouble, let alone create any influence on Dacheng and Beishuo. Threat.

This is good for both Dacheng and Beishuo.

It is an important trading place and a strategic port. It can directly enter the age of navigation in the future, and it is a place where neither Dacheng nor Beishuo dare to send troops easily.

Lu Ming sighed: “This is so perfect that it couldn’t be more perfect.。”

“What do you mean, sir?”

“It’s Jiguo! ”

Living in Xin’an Town, Lu Ming’s development is too restricted. Even if an iron mine has just been discovered here, it still cannot change the fact that resources are scarce here. Just

relying on the raw materials traded with Zhang Heng, I don’t know when Develop Xin’an Town.

Moreover, even

if Jiguo is defeated, he can still continue to exploit the iron ore in Xin’an Town, which is only a few dozen miles away from Jiguo. A flash of sharpness flashed across

Lu Ming’s eyes.。

“Ordered that the armed guards will strengthen training starting today, send a team of spies to Jiguo to inquire about the situation, and order people to pay attention to the movements of Dacheng and Beishuo at all times.。”

“I understand the humble position! ”

He Songsheng felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Your Excellency is finally going to show his grandiose plans!

First, he broke away from the control of the Dacheng court and privately developed Xin’an Town, and then he vigorously developed new weapons. All signs indicate that His Majesty has grand plans. .

It’s not just He Songsheng.

Everyone in the Wuwei Army understands what it means.

Now it’s finally time to become a blockbuster!

Ever since Lu Ming showed his magical methods, he has established an indestructible statue in the hearts of everyone in Xin’an Town. His prestige is unparalleled.

Not even the current Holy Emperor can compare with Lu Ming’s status in their hearts.

Not to mention attacking Succession, even letting them attack Dacheng, the Wuwei Army will definitely charge into the battle without fear of death. There will be a little hesitation。

“Your Majesty’s orders cannot be violated!”

“Your Excellency is an immortal who has come to this world, and we are an army of immortals!”

“Anyone who disobeys the Lord’s orders will definitely be doomed! ”

These are all words often spoken by the Wuwei Army, which shows that their loyalty and fanatical belief in Lu Ming has reached an unbelievable level. Ten days later, the spies

sent to Jiguo to find out the news came back.
