When a passerby becomes a princess

Let's not talk about these things in the capital for the time being, just say that the Guan war over there has been going on for half a year, and there is a possibility of continuing the fighting.

Since Lin Qiu designed many weapons for defending the city, Hu State's attack on the city failed many times, but Prince Huval could not easily retreat in order not to damage his reputation.After the secret discussion between Hu Zan and Huval, the national teacher, he went back to the grassland to lobby the tribes who had not participated in the war, and he brought more than 30 troops. Now there are 70 troops gathered in the border area, and the war is imminent.

Huval stood in front of the big tent, looking at the densely packed tents and soldiers, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, but bitterness in his mouth.In the battle between Hu State and Daliang State more than ten years ago, Hu State dispatched nearly 80 troops, and most of them returned home with casualties. It took a lot of effort to recover some vitality in these years. This is almost all the soldiers and horses of Hu State. If he loses, not only will he not be able to sit on the throne, but Hu Guo will also be finished.

It's just that a large part of the reason for the defeat back then was that the leading general at the time was self-willed and at odds with the tribal leaders below. Killing, the morale of the army lost, and finally the army was defeated.

And now...

Huval glanced at Haqihai next to him. If the current number one master dies, then he can take over Habu, including Habu's large and fertile grassland...

Returning to the big tent, Huval began to fight the pros and cons of winning and losing. Of course, no matter what happened in the end, he still had to win a few games at the beginning, otherwise the morale was gone, and other tribes might withdraw their troops immediately.

At the same time, the prince of Daliang Kingdom was cheering.

"Wow, amazing! It's amazing!" Liang Xi shouted while holding Lin Qiu's hand.

He definitely didn't yell at Lin Qiu on purpose, it's because his ears are buzzing when he hears everything now, so yelling is just an instinctive reaction.

Ten days ago, Chen Fan went to the border to get materials for making gunpowder. When he came back, he brought not only the materials, but also a few craftsmen.

Lin Lian once personally tested the power of gunpowder. A piece of dynamite the size of a bamboo knot blew up and collapsed a cave. A few mountains away, one could feel the vibration of the ground beneath his feet, and he could also hear the thunderous sound. .

Lin Lian didn't dare to hide it privately, and gave Liang Honglie the secret performance early on, but he never heard back.

This time, if Lin Qiu hadn't personally written the letter, Lin Lian would have absolutely opposed the explosion of the mountain, not to mention whether it was dangerous or not, even the secrecy measures must be strict.If Beard finds out, all future plans will be aborted.It's just because of a letter from Lin Qiu that General Kinu not only gave all the materials, but also sent craftsmen.

Under the guidance of Lin Qiu, several craftsmen made more than a dozen pieces of explosives, carefully calculated the mountain to be exploded, and specially chose a sunny and dry weather, and evacuated everyone nearby before burying the ground. Put down the explosives, use a long incense to make a delayed ignition device, and blast the rocks.

Liang Xi took Lin Qiu and stood a mile away to watch, but his ears were still deafened by the shock. Seeing the flying rocks, Liang Xi was so excited that he jumped up and down.

Lin Qiu once described to Liang Xi the appearance of the explosion, so after the initial surprise, Liang Xi was only excited.But the people next to him were all pale, trembling all over, and could hardly stand up.

After a long time, Taifu Li murmured from behind: "There are such fetishes in the world, it is really...God bless Daliang."

There are two biggest reasons for the poverty of Daliang Country. One is that there are too many mountains and the rivers are not dense enough. It is extremely inconvenient for transportation and irrigation.

But now with this explosive, road construction and canal digging will become more convenient.With roads, timber, herbs, leather goods, ores from the north...can be quickly transported to the south, and salt, grain, cloth from the south...can also be easily transported to the north.With the construction of canals, many areas that were originally lacking in water resources can become fertile fields.This is not just an increase in business tax and food tax, but also the tax revenue generated by various consumptions extending from here will greatly increase.

Just like the saying in modern society, "If you want to get rich, build roads first", everyone understands this truth, but it was too difficult to build a smooth road before, and this explosive finally gave hope to Daliang.

The second reason for Daliang’s poverty is foreign enemies. Hu State in the north, Zangu State in the west, Yue State and Wo State in the south, the continuous wars almost emptied the treasury every year.

But now, with such a fetish, how could he be afraid of those foreign enemies, who would be killed no matter how many came.

Of course, Liang Xi also knew this, he arranged the follow-up work of removing the gravel to build the canal, and on the way back to the county government, it was rare that he didn't ride a horse, and squeezed into Lin Qiu's carriage.

"Qiu'er, although this explosive is sharp, it's too inconvenient to ignite. And Huzi is not stupid, he doesn't stay in place like Shanshi and wait for us to ignite the explosives, unless he leads Huzi to the place where the explosives are buried in advance... But you also said , In an open place, the power of this explosive explosion is not great..." Liang Xi said as he took off his hat and put it on the small table next to him, the weather was getting warmer, and he began to sweat a little.

"En." Lin Qiu nodded, but did not interrupt him.

Liang Xi went on to say: "If there is a valley, lead the beard into it, and put explosives on both sides of the valley, the rocks that explode will definitely kill many beards. But there are very few mountains near northern Xinjiang. Even if there are mountains, most of them It’s the kind of mound just now. So I thought... can you make something similar to that kind of 'incendiary bomb', but put gunpowder in it, so that when it explodes, will it be more powerful?"

The light in the carriage was not good, but Lin Qiu could still see Liang Xi's eyes shining brightly.

On the grassland, Liang Xi saw with his own eyes the kidnapped slaves of the Daliang Kingdom. The three slaves they rescued died in Hu Zi's hands when the stockade was destroyed.

Liang Xi remembered that one of the slaves was named An, the safe An. He was still young when he was taken away, and he could no longer remember his last name, only the word "An" remained. He wished him a safe life, but he was captured by Hu Zi and made a slave for many years, and finally died a miserable death.

What he saw on the grassland became a thorn in Liang Xi's heart.After he came back, he heard that the bearded army had sent slaves to attack the city, and intentionally let the slaves be burned alive to damage the morale of the frontier army. This thorn has become a sharp knife. Whenever I think of it, I feel Distressed beyond measure.

He is a prince, and one day he will ascend the throne and become the emperor of this country. Everyone in Daliang Kingdom is his subject, how could he see his subjects suffer such harm.

Recently, he has been studying hard, especially in the field of military affairs. Although he admires Lin Qiu's "36 Strategies", he is not the kind of person who has nine bends and eighteen bends in his mind, so he still advocates the "Three Six Strategies" in his heart. Convincing people".

"It's possible." Lin Qiu said, putting his hand into Liang Xi's.

Liang Xi held Lin Qiu's hand, his eyes became brighter.Lin Qiu seldom took the initiative to touch him, only when he did something right, or when he performed particularly well, would he take the initiative to put his hand on his hand.Whenever this happens, Liang Xi will be very excited.

"Then what about ignition? Can it be done without such trouble?" Liang Xi asked again.

Today's explosives must be ignited manually, which is dangerous and troublesome. Do you have to hold a torch, light a piece of explosives and throw it out on the battlefield?

There is a kind of soil mine in the game. Although there is a pull wire ignition device, it is an antique game after all. The ignition device is very primitive, and the chance of stink bombs is very high.Lin Qiu knows how to make the ignition device, but he doesn't know how to increase the success rate. He can easily copy things, but he is not an inventor himself.

But... Lin Qiu looked at the person beside him and frowned.

People who like to play games are mostly quick-witted, and they are particularly focused on things that can attract them. Have you seen how many gamers use their brains to find a faster way to level up, and stay up all night to fight a dungeon boss.

Liang Xi has never played computer games, but his essence is the same as many game players.

After returning to the county government office, Lin Qiu drew a very primitive pull wire ignition device for him, which really attracted his attention completely, and made a few experiments with several craftsmen sent by Lin Lian, and it really did. What Lin Qiu said is easy to fail, violent shaking, and even wet weather will affect the success rate.

Now he is even busier, besides studying and political affairs, he also has to invent and create now... If Lin Qiu hadn't made Chen Fan stare at him, he wished he wouldn't even sleep.

At this moment, Hu State's troops were assembled and launched another attack on Daliang State. This time, Lin Lian did not continue to passively defend, but went out to face the battle.

Huval... No, it's not just Huval, almost all the Hu people thought they were dreaming, and the border gate of Daliang Kingdom was actually opened?

It's not that they haven't opened it before. Every time they retreat in defeat, that big black man Lin Yue will rush out and kill a few more times, but that's what happens when they retreat after all. This time they haven't opened it yet. , the border gate opened?

Before they could figure it out, [-] cavalry had already left the city under the escort of the archers on the city wall. After they were assembled, [-] strangely shaped carriages left the city one after another.

"What is that old fellow Lin Lian going to do?" Hu Val frowned deeply as he looked at the strength of Daliang Kingdom's troops.

Compared with Hu's military force of more than 70, Daliang, which has only [-] cavalry and [-] carriages, is almost like a mosquito, and it will die if you slap it, but Huval feels strong anxiety from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Highness." Hu Zan was also uneasy, but now is definitely not the time to back down.

Huval glanced at him, got on his horse, drew his waist knife, and shouted: "Attack!"
