National Luck: Angry Qin Shihuang at the beginning

On the first day, the rogue soldiers and horses just dug everywhere, which made the soldiers and civilians in the city heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the rogues also understood that the high walls of Fuzhou City were not easy to attack.

The common people were also forced to go up the city wall to repair the crenels and carry wood and stones. A cauldron was also set up on the city wall. In addition to boiling water to pour the enemy, it could also be used for lighting at night to prevent thieves from attacking the city at night.

But all this was in vain. The Qin army never relied on manpower to forcefully attack the city, and waited until mid-May to launch the Fuzhou campaign, not because of anything else.

It was the river thawing. This time they brought four 1.5-jin cannons, each weighing about [-] tons. Land transportation was too troublesome.

The trench was dug on the first day, not only to protect the officers and soldiers who went out, but also to set up artillery positions, which were 400 meters away from the city wall.

Because according to the investigation, there are more than [-] large bed crossbows in the city of Fuzhou, which are the cold weapons with the longest range in Daqin.

The Fujian Legion launched a total of five regiments to attack Fuzhou this time, and there were about [-] refugee troops who fled to Fujian from various sources. They carried a total of [-] ten-jin cannons and four eighteen-jin cannons.

The entire Union is now completely free from the use of European measurements for the caliber of firearms and the weight of shells, and all adopt new measurement methods.

On the first day of arriving at the city of Fuzhou, the troops mainly carried out the construction of artillery arrays and various obstacles. After all, it took only one day for nearly 9 people to complete the preliminary work.

In the early morning of the next day, the artillery of the Fujian Army outside the southern city of Fuzhou took the lead in firing. The entire southern city wall was used as the main attack direction. All four [-]-jin cannons were placed here, and there were twelve [-]-jin cannons. .

The first to test the guns were three ten-pound guns. After the scale data was tested, the remaining eleven guns also started firing in sequence.

Since ancient times, siege warfare has always relied on troops to climb the city wall, and finally occupy the city wall or seize the city gate as an attack method to break the city.

Although Chen Hao also learned that the bandit soldiers named Heifengzhai used artillery to break the city gates in Pingyang, so he had already ordered to block some of the city gates, but now the bandits bombarded the city walls with artillery and he still couldn't figure it out. mind.

In the whole of Daqin, except for the officers and soldiers of the Qin army, the only ones who have really seen artillery attacking the city are Hou Shilu, the general soldier of Datong, and his first battalion of the Chinese army.

He had been acquainted with such methods before, and he was terrified by Qin Jun's annihilation of Jiannu in Yongping, and he would never mention it to others.

Since returning to Datong, he has been frightened by all kinds of materials flocking to Datong. The supply of salt tea, which was strictly prohibited in Daqin to the Tartars, came like a flood.

With the export of these materials, Tucheng outside the side wall has now become a bustling market, and nobles from various Chahar ministries have sent their trusted clansmen to station in Tucheng.

A large number of cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock also rushed to Tucheng in an endless stream, and even the Mongolian Khan, Tiger and Rabbit also sent envoys to Tucheng.

For the Mongols, it was urgently needed for them to have such an area that could trade with Daqin. The Mongolian ministries also sent envoys to make an alliance with the governor of Datong.

Both sides do not station troops in the fifty-mile area of ​​Tucheng, and have the obligation to maintain security in their respective areas.

Hou Shilu and all the civil officials were stunned by this kind of operation. When did the tartars become so easy to talk?
Since he returned to the town, he has received a steady stream of two dividends, the first time was slightly less, but only the second dividend was more than what he had deducted throughout the year, and only then did he start to care about merchants What kind of goods did they buy and sell?
Originally, he thought that the merchants were just buying and selling salt and tea for profit, but when he paid attention, he discovered that not only the imperial court strictly prohibited the sale of salt and tea, but also ironware. This discovery made him terrified.

Later, after the Wang family explained, he found out that the iron pot was made of iron materials that the Mongols could not melt, and he was relieved.

In addition to salt and tea iron utensils, he also found some "flour"-like things in the goods. The Wang family told him that these were grains. This discovery made him wonder what the merchants were going to do?

Because compared to salt, tea and iron utensils, selling food to the Tartars is even more excessive than those, but fortunately, the amount is not much.

The Wang family took a bowl of such "flour" and asked Hou Shilu to inspect it. As soon as the bowl was brought to him, he smelled a foul smell. After listening to the explanation, he realized that these were made from a kind of potato flour mixed with fish meal. , bone meal so there is a fishy smell.

Immediately after, the visitor ordered someone to fetch boiling water, poured the water into the bowl, and threw a small piece of suet into it. Immediately, a strange fragrance rose in the room.

The Wang family stirred it with a spoon for a while, and a bowl of fragrant batter was ready. Then they asked Hou Shilu's soldiers to try it, and seeing the appearance of the soldiers after eating, Hou Shilu couldn't help but also took a bite.

Damn, how can such delicious dry food be sold to tartars?
As a result, he was dumbfounded after hearing the explanation. It is said that this kind of "flour" should not be eaten too much, let alone often, because if you eat too much, you will become addicted, and if you don't eat it, you will be depressed and don't want to do anything.

This startled Hou Shilu, and he became scared when he saw the bowl of batter that was still emitting aroma.

When such a delicious food arrives at the Tartars, it is naturally only the elite and leaders of the nobles can enjoy it. It may be said that the nobles will also eat it, but if it becomes addictive as the Wang family said, and it is impossible not to eat, the result will be terrible. That's great.

It's normal to have nothing to do on weekdays, but if you suddenly have a "noodle addiction" after waiting for the battle, what's the big deal?

Of course, he immediately understood the meaning of it. If his mother had this kind of "noodle addiction", would he still be able to fight?This is a great thing!
In addition to these flours, Hou Shilu also found a batch of spirits. Of course, he had seen such spirits in Yongping and had tasted them. To be honest, he was born as a generation of generals. Very interested.

But he has been in the army for many years, but he knows how powerful this thing is to ordinary generals and soldiers. Drinking is just to get drunk and comfortable. For a family like his that has been rich for generations, drinking should also talk about the taste.The food, the atmosphere.

But how can ordinary soldiers care about those things, just want to get drunk quickly, isn't this kind of strong alcohol just right?
Even ordinary people in Daqin are like this, and the Tartars, who are always bitterly cold, can’t be added. Drinks can not only intoxicate people, but also keep out the cold, and more or less have some uses to satisfy hunger. favorite.

There is still less "flour", but there is more spirits, and there is a lot of tobacco in the goods of the merchants. After knowing this, Hou Shilu is even more disappointed. The methods of these merchants are to kill the roots of the Tartars!
