Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 464 Shocked!

Chapter 464 Shocked!

"Nearly a hundred captives have been captured, and it seems that we will send people to pick them up!" Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard and said, "Send two doctors too, didn't you say that many people were injured? It happened that Xin San There is still a shortage of people here in the district, and these captives are all small soldiers, Lao Cheng, I hope they can come more, so as to fill the labor force in the new third district!"

Working as captives of foreign races is naturally more willing to order them than their own people!
Their own people are reluctant to be handled like cattle and horses, but some jobs do require some people to work hard and some people to take risks.

If this kind of work is done by the people of Datang, they need to be paid well!

Use heavy profits to attract people to actively participate!
But if these captives are used, even if there are a few casualties, they don't have to feel bad.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin reminded again: "Send two doctors from the New Third District. We must save their lives. This is all hard work!"

Seeing his father's reaction silently, Cheng Chumo couldn't bear to look directly at him.

But who let them be like this!
It's just a lack of people!
Cheng Chumo hesitated for a moment between wanting face or wanting people, and then quickly compromised.

He also said: "Send two doctors over there. If there is an ox cart, pull it over and bring the wounded back. Even if the leg is gone, as long as they have hands, they can weave things! I know, let's Youzhou's knitted fabrics are very profitable now!"

Of course, if they can't be saved, it's their fate, and it's not a problem on Youzhou's side.

At this time, the Cheng family and his son could not imagine what kind of injuries the wounded would suffer after being bombed by landmines.

When they saw the wounded being pulled back by the bullock cart that afternoon, the two of them fell silent for a moment.

Good guy!
Is this the legendary gunpowder that can blow people up like this?
Dynamite pack?
No, as far as they know, dynamite packs are better for sieges!

Instead of lying in ambush on the road and attacking the superior troops!

"It's not explosives." Hearing their incomprehensible inquiries, Qin Yang stood not far away and looked at the rows of wounded being carried down, screaming, he sighed, but his heart was still hardened .

He then answered the Cheng family father and son: "They were injured because of landmines."

"Mine?"

They had heard about grenades before, but they didn't expect that they would also need land mines?
What kind of thing is this?
Cheng Chumo imitated his father's thick skin, put his arm on Qin Yang's shoulder, and couldn't help asking: "What the hell is that? Is it like a grenade? A mine? Could it be activated by the ground?"

The previous grenade was thrown by hand.

What about mines?buried in the ground?
He expressed his guess and earned an admiring glance from Qin Yang.

"That's right, it's buried underground, and it happens directly underground."

Cheng Chumo couldn't imagine what the scene was like, so he asked, "Could it be that someone passing over the mine would cause an explosion immediately?"

He already knew the word "explosion" and had heard of the power of "mines" in suppressing bandits. He also had some respect for landmines.

Qin Yang nodded: "Yes."

"But if this is the case, how can we guarantee that we won't hurt people by mistake?" Cheng Chumo asked again.

"I know that if there is a real fight, someone who gets into it by mistake can only be regarded as unlucky. Things on the battlefield have always been like this."

This kind of incident of entering the battlefield by mistake is actually not so uncommon.

It's like someone or an animal strayed into the battlefield.

The people on the battlefield are all jealous, who would stop at this time to avoid ordinary people or livestock who strayed into it?
Totally impossible!
When the two armies go to war, the result of the war is far more important than one or two lives. At least in the eyes of the generals, the result of the war is naturally more important.

They all tied their heads to their belts, so naturally they didn't want to lose the battle where they and their comrades gave their lives.

win!This is their greatest hope!

But if there is a chance to avoid it, they naturally hope to avoid it.

Don't want to accidentally injure one's own people, this is what most Tang generals hope for.

Qin Yang smiled mysteriously, and said: "Of course it can be done, because, this mine can be pulled by oneself. If it is one of our own, it will not pull the mechanism. If it is the enemy, as long as they enter the minefield, they can pull it." The thread detonates! Don't worry, after many experiments, although I can't guarantee that it will be perfect, most of the time, I can still guarantee that I will not accidentally hurt my own people."

Although Qin Yang didn't make a 100% guarantee, it was enough to satisfy Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo said: "Great kindness! It really is a good thing if it doesn't hurt your own people! I don't know if this thing can be popularized among the Tang army?"

Cheng Yaojin also had bright eyes, a tall man, looking at Qin Yang eagerly.

Qin Yang was a little amused by their attitudes and said hurriedly: "Of course it's okay."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said: "If it can be popularized in the army, the combat effectiveness of our Tang army can be greatly improved! This explosive is really a great tool to deal with those barbarians when it is used in this kind of place!"

After all, most of the foreigners who came to harass the border of Tang Dynasty came on horseback!

Come on horseback, come fast, run faster.

Sometimes, because of the fast riding speed, even if archers are arranged, there is no way to cause great damage to them.

Although for the current Tang Dynasty, the level and strength already possessed are enough to make those grassland tribes give up their delusions of invading the Central Plains.But there is no problem in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the borders of various places are still harassed by "neighbors" from time to time!
When they wanted to wipe out these neighbors, the other party went into the grassland, leaving the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty helpless!

This is just like a fly that comes to harass people!

Now that there is an extra "fly killer", it is naturally a good thing for generals like Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo!
In fact, Qin Yang had secretly sent the drawings and usage of the musket to Li Shimin.

Not that he is impartial.

It's really because, for Qin Yang, who has no ambition to rebel, this thing is really not something that must be hidden.

Moreover, the system provided him with this thing in order to promote it in Datang.

By the way, he also dug some good things from Li Shimin's hands again.

Including the authority of Youzhou locals to arm themselves with firearms openly and aboveboard!
Self-made weapons, if the specifications of the manufactured weapons exceed the specifications restricted by the imperial court, it is easy to label them as rebellious!

But if it was Li Shimin's will to develop Youzhou's military power, that would be another matter.

Now Qin Yang has obtained a "permit" from Li Shimin.
