Daqin: At the beginning, the father-in-law was invited to rebel, but the father-in-law turned out to

Earthen detonators are just one type of firearm.

The power of the earthen detonator is that great, aren't other firearms also very powerful?

Both of them looked at Song Yuan seriously.

Seeing this, Song Yuan was also somewhat unexpected.

What he said casually was actually remembered by Li Si.

He said with a smile: "The earthen detonator can be regarded as attracting jade!"

The three brothers Zheng were surprised again.

Throwing bricks and attracting jade?

It means that the earthen detonator is brick, while other firearms are jade?

The earth-made detonator is so powerful, wouldn't other firearms be stronger?

If there is such a weapon, if it is equipped to the entire Great Qin, the Great Qin will sweep the world and make the whole frontier bow its head and surrender!

Even expand a wider territory!

As the prime minister of Daqin, the stronger Daqin is, the more people will praise him in the future!

Thinking of this, Li Si said excitedly, "What kind of firearm is that? Can you make it?"

Zhengge Mengtian also stared at Song Yuan intently, even controlled his breathing, and held his breath.

Song Yuan shook his head and said: "The spears and cannons I told you before are also firearms! It's just limited by technology, and it can't be made now!"

hiss!

Brother Zheng took a deep breath.

Long guns and cannons are also firearms!

That is to say, the long spear that allows ordinary people to shoot through Yang with a hundred steps and easily kill longbowmen.

There are also cannons with a range of hundreds of miles, which can hit the city wall in an instant and smash the city.

Both are firearms?

Before, they all felt that this was a boast, something that could not exist.

But now, with the homemade detonators in front, they couldn't ignore the possibility of these things.

It's a pity that Song Yuan can't do it now.

If it can be done, Daqin will be invincible in the world!

"Okay! Don't think about it! These things can't be done for a while, let's think about the Northern Expedition!"

Song Yuan interrupted everyone's daydreams, he didn't want to have to work hard to produce these things because of throwing them out.

Brother Zheng came back to his senses and said, "That's right! It's enough to have an earthen detonator!"

After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth again: "Li Si! Meng Tian! Follow me back to the court and prepare for the battle with all my strength! Seven days later, the Northern Expedition against the Huns! Beat him to pieces!"

"The minister obeys the order!".

Chapter 146

Seven days later.

With the full support of the Qin court, Songjiazhuang produced a thousand sets of saddles, stirrups and reins.

Under the guidance of Song Jiajun's craftsmen, the Qin court worked hard and produced nearly [-] sets of horseshoes.

However, since only Song Yuan could make earthen detonators, only about a hundred of them were made.

everything's ready!

With the blessing of Xianyang City, Meng Tian led an army of 30 to march to the north!

Brother Zheng looked at the leaving army, and said with high spirits: "Now we just have to wait for Meng Tian to return in triumph!"

Li Si quickly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, with the help of Song Yuan's treasure, Meng Tian will definitely be able to take down the Xiongnu with ease!"

Brother Zheng nodded slightly.

It is precisely because of the help of Song Yuan's treasure that he dared to say "just wait for Meng Tian to return".

After a while, Brother Zheng asked, "What's the situation in Songjiazhuang now, where is Song Yuanren? Are you still making earthen detonators?"

Li Si shook his head and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, after the supplies were delivered yesterday, Song Yuan ordered Songjiazhuang to suspend work. He himself did not make detonators and went to the pigsty to inspect."

"..."

Brother Zheng was speechless, and complained: "What is this kid thinking about his pig all day long? Can't he study firearms?"

Li Si didn't answer.

Brother Zheng complained for a while, and said 27: "Forget it, wait for the news from the front line! Remember to inform me as soon as possible!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Li Si nodded quickly.

...

Songjiazhuang.

Song Yuan looked at the litter of piglets that had just been born, and immediately called Song Yunlong and others to teach them how to castrate piglets.

And explain the benefits of this castrated pig.

For example, after a pig is eunuched, it grows fast, has no smell, does not turn green, and has better meat quality, etc. It is the best meat!

After Song Yunlong and the others heard it, they suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the owner of the Shaozhuang attached the most importance to raising pigs.

It turns out that as long as the pig is castrated, all the problems will disappear.

For a while, everyone was looking forward to it, wanting to taste the grown barrow.

Song Yuan is also working on this matter with all his strength. He wants to let the whole village eat a bite of pork during the Spring Festival!

After teaching everyone the skills of castrating pigs.

Song Yuan relaxed. He looked at the cattle and sheep pens in the animal husbandry area and couldn't help but sigh.

It's a pity that there are no cows, otherwise Baby Ziyi will be able to drink milk every day when she grows up.

But don't worry.

As long as Mengtian takes down the Xiongnu, the best cattle and sheep in the north will be from Daqin.

At that time, cows, yaks, and lambs will have whatever they want.

Species in pastoral areas will also become more and more abundant.

But right now, it is better to raise the pigs first, and wait for Meng Tian to finish beating the Xiongnu before talking about other things.

...

Seven days later.

Meng Tian led the Qin Army to Shangjun, the bridgehead of the Northern Expedition.

Meng Tian arranged the supplies for the soldiers, looked at the people coming and going in the city, and various rich supplies.

He inadvertently sighed: "Shangjun is much stronger than Taiyuan! With Shangjun, the Northern Expedition is much more convenient!"

Wang Wan, the governor of Shangjun, said, "Indeed, I made a lot of determination to come here before, and now it seems that I came here right!"

Hearing this, Meng Tian laughed and said, "Thank you very much Song Yuan!"

"Hi!"

Wang Wan smiled and said: "You may not know that the people in the city spontaneously used the cement left by Song Yuan to build a temple to commemorate what happened in the snow disaster. Song Yuan's portrait was even hung high, and the people went there every day. Pray for him!"

"..."

Meng Tian's expression froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched non-stop.

He is holding back a smile.

After the smallpox in Xianyang City was resolved, the people wanted to build a temple for Song Yuan, but Song Yuan seriously refused. He hated this kind of thing the most.

Later, the people continued to make troubles, and Song Yuan compromised and built a monument.

If Song Yuan knew that he was enshrined in the temple by the people of Shangjun, he would probably die of anger.

Seeing that Meng Tian's expression was not right, Wang Wan asked curiously, "What's wrong with the commander-in-chief? Is there any problem?"

Hearing this, Meng Tian smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the supplies are all over, I'm going to lead the army to go out, go to the border early, and try to catch the Xiongnu by surprise!"

Wang Wan also said seriously: "That's right! Hurry up, there are signs of the Huns on the frontier recently! Be careful of being ambushed!"

After Meng Tian heard it, he also became serious.

He touched the binoculars in his arms, and then he felt a little more at ease. With Song Yuan's artificial clairvoyance, all the actions of the Huns were invisible!

After a while, Meng Tian bid farewell to Wang Wan and led the army to continue marching north.

It took another three days.

The 30 troops finally passed the customs and saw the grassland!

After a heavy snowfall on the grassland, there is nothing else to be seen except the green grass.

Meng Tian was overjoyed, it seemed that the Huns had indeed suffered heavy losses!

He immediately said: "Camp on the spot! Send scouts with binoculars to find the whereabouts of the Huns!"

...

Huns stronghold.

After the baptism of heavy snow, except for some slaves, the Xiongnu left only an elite army and nobles, with a total of about 15 people, which is incomparable with the 300 million army of the Great Qin Dynasty.

But Mao Dun, the leader of the Huns, did not panic at all.

Mao Dun believed that after the heavy snow this time, Daqin was also seriously injured. This time the surprise attack can definitely make Daqin lose his way!

Looking at the clear sky outside the account, he said with great joy, "Come here! Immediately form an army, bring the last rations and horses! Let's go south to plunder! Kill the Qin people by surprise!"

Countless nobles and generals cheered up.

In this surprise attack, the north of Daqin will be taken by them in one fell swoop!

But they didn't know that their movements were clearly seen by the Daqin scouts a few miles away with binoculars!

The scouts saw the Huns getting ready for war, calculated the time and direction of departure, packed up their things and returned to the Daqin camp.

After Meng Tian heard the news, his face was overjoyed.

He held the binoculars tightly, Song Yuan is really a fetish, and he completely seized the opportunity of the big battle!

Meng Tian thought for a while, then said: "Come on! Seize the opportunity immediately and plant detonators where the Huns must pass!"

The people under him immediately took action.

Because the number of detonators is not large, it is impossible to say that they can be used as throwing explosives. Song Yuan gave Meng Tian a plan before setting off.

It is to grasp the opponent's movement, and then bury the detonator in the opponent's only way, and detonate it directly when the opponent's army passes by.

The soldiers are in a panic and lead the army to charge, and they will surely win a big victory!

Soon, the detonators were all buried.

Meng Tian immediately shouted: "The whole army is ready! Ready to fight at any time!"

After the arrangements were made, Meng Tian led the scouts to the front line. He prostrated himself in the haystack, with a telescope in one hand and a gun in the other.

As long as he saw the Huns appearing, he would light the fuse in the hands of the scouts with a torch.

I don't know how long I waited, but Meng Tian's eyes were a little sour looking at the telescope.

A dark shadow appeared in the endless grassland!

The Huns are coming! .
