Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

However, Liang Dechang was able to come up with the formula of explosives so quickly, Xiao Yu was very surprised. He asked Liang Dechang, "What are you going to use this for?"

Liang Dechang said: "I want to use it to blast rocks. Sometimes when I mine minerals on the mountain, it grows in the rocks and it's not easy to get out. If you have this, it should be more convenient."

Xiao Yu nodded: "This is a good way, but this thing is too unsafe. If it blows up rocks, the flying rocks can kill people. If people get too close, they are easy to get injured or even die. "

Liang Dechang said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. I still need to find a way to increase safety."

Xiao Yu reminded him: "Is there a way to light the fire from a distance and allow enough time to escape?"

"The minister will try to find a way."

Xiao Yu did not expect that explosives would be produced so quickly. Even if they are not used for war, they are still very good tools for life and production. For example, they can be used to build roads and open mines, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

After dinner, Liang Dechang went back.Xiao Yu went back to his study to continue reviewing the memorial, and Pei Rinzhi followed him: "Your Majesty, I think the one made by Mr. Liang can be used on the battlefield after a good improvement."

Xiao Yu looked at him in surprise: "For war? How could you have such an idea?"

Pei Linzhi said: "Didn't you say that Master Liang's saltpeter explosion can hurt people? If it is used to ambush the enemy, then we can wear down the enemy without a single soldier."

Xiao Yu was amazed at his sharpness, nodded and said: "It is possible in theory, but it is not good in practice." Among other things, the problem of the lead wire has not been solved, so it is impossible to use it in an ambush.

Pei Linzhi said: "Yes, it is more difficult to light a fire, but I believe Master Liang can solve this problem. If we really have this, we will not be afraid to confront Xiao Yi and Dongxirong."

Xiao Yu suddenly sighed: "Actually, I am very contradictory."

Pei Linzhi asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yu looked outside the door and said, "Xiang Yang, step back first."

Xiang Yang glanced in, then closed the door and moved a little further away.

Xiao Yu said: "Master Liang's invention today is not unfamiliar to me. We commonly call it explosives. It can be used to make firecrackers, and it can also be used to build roads and mines, but where you use it the most Know what it is? It's war. It's the most deadly weapon, and with that, the casualties multiply."

Hearing this, Pei Linzhi said, "You don't want to use it for war?"

Xiao Yu sighed: "This is exactly where I am contradictory. Using explosives can naturally reduce our casualties, but it is a massacre for the enemy. This is a massacre of unequal strength."

Pei Linzhi said: "The battlefield is not a contest of equal strength. When the barbarians massacre the city, they kill unarmed civilians. They never consider whether the strength is equal."

Xiao Yu looked up at him, and slowly said: "You're right, I'm too idealistic. War is not equal, and killing may be the best choice. Let's wait for Mr. Liang to make a lead. "

Maybe the application of explosives can speed up the end of the war, and from another level, it also reduces casualties.

After thinking this through, Xiao Yu felt much better: "When Mr. Liang makes the explosives, it's time to prepare for war."

"Well, it's time for me to hurry up and train." Pei Linzhi said.

In the spring of the third year of Taichu, there were several loud noises in Dayu Ridge, and the last section of rocks leading to Lingbei collapsed.

A spring breeze passes through Dayuling without hindrance from south to north.The people in Lingbei were frightened, thinking that some miracle had happened, they knelt down and worshiped in the direction of the loud noise.

The nearby mountain people heard the movement and came to see that they were building a road. At some point, the whole mountain had been opened up, showing a passage more than ten feet wide.

Soon, the shattered rocks and soil were removed.The mountain people in Lingbei thought: It will be convenient to go to Lingnan in the future. I heard that Lingnan has good grain seeds and cotton that can be weaved. Can I also go to Lingnan to get some back and plant them?

A few days later, the people in Lingbei discovered that a group of mighty troops had arrived from the Dayuling Passage that had just been completed. The leading young general came straight to Lingbei on a tall horse with a heroic appearance.

The people in Lingbei were shocked at first: there is going to be a war!Then he faintly looked forward to it, that is to say, the emperor of Lingnan is coming to beat their tyrant, that's great, I hope to overthrow that tyrant as soon as possible.

The scope of Jiangzhou's jurisdiction is very wide. From the east of Xiangzhou to the East China Sea, it belongs to Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou has many mountains and less land, so there are not many people, and it belongs to the hinterland of Anguo, so there are few troops stationed.

After leaving Dayu Ridge, Pei Linzhi's [-] Northern Expedition Army took almost no effort, and captured Nankang County, the most difficult border in Jiangzhou, with very little loss.

The Northern Expedition Army continued to go north, and soon after leaving Nankang County, Xiao Yao led a team of ten thousand people to march towards Xiangzhou in the northwest.

Pei Linzhi led the remaining [-] troops to continue northward, attacking Yuzhang County, where the Jiangzhou prefecture is located, and captured Xun Chang, the governor of Jiangzhou.

At the same time, Xiao Yao led his troops to Changsha County, the seat of the state capital of Xiangzhou. At first, Xiao Yao was chased and intercepted by Yang Chi, the governor of Changsha in Changsha. Now he led [-] elite soldiers and captured Changsha, which had only [-] troops , and personally shot Yang Chi to avenge his revenge for being hunted down.

When the good news came, Xiao Yu quickly arranged for officials promoted from various places to go north to take over Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou, and brought cotton seeds and hybrid rice seeds.This time coincides with the spring sowing. If you go fast, you can still catch up with the spring sowing in these two places.

There is a large lake in Jiangzhou and the northern part of Xiangzhou, and the alluvial plain is fertile and wild. If it is managed well, it will become the granary of the world.

Xiao Yi has always been wary of the southern army coming from Jin'an County, so he stationed heavy troops in Yongjia County in Yangzhou, north of Jin'an County. hinterland.

He was a little flustered for a while, but he calmed down quickly. After finding out the military situation, he quickly mobilized the troops from East Yangzhou and Jingzhou to gather in Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou.

At the same time, he also mobilized [-] sailors, set off from Jianye, headed south against the wind, and went straight to Panyu, preparing to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

In Panyu City, Xiao Yu sat in his study, read a secret report, and said to Min Chong: "Xiao Yi really sent a navy to kill us."

Min Chong raised his eyebrows: "It's just in time, I'm waiting for him. When they enter the Pearl River, we will close the door and beat the dogs."

This time it was Min Chong and Guan Shan who stayed behind in Panyu. Except for the soldiers who stayed behind to guard the prisoners, Yazhou sent all the troops.Jiaozhou also left [-] soldiers to guard South Vietnam, and the rest were dispatched.

I don't worry that Ningzhou in the north of Jiaozhou will take the opportunity to make trouble, because Ningzhou is located in a remote place, and Jianye's control over Ningzhou is almost zero, and it will take more than a month to spread the news quickly.Moreover, Ningzhou has a high mountain and few people, and is extremely poor, so it is impossible to have the ability to send troops to Jiaozhou.

The soldiers in Yazhou and Jiaozhou were commanded by Guan Shan, more than [-], and they were preparing to fight at sea. Since these two places were near the sea or were on the sea, they both conducted land and water training at the same time.

Fifteen thousand soldiers were stationed in Panyu City, led by Min Chong, preparing to fight against the Anguo navy.

Xiao Yu said: "According to the secret report, there should be a lot of navy in Anguo, probably more than us."

"It doesn't matter, more people are not more beneficial. The Pearl River is only so wide, and the upper river channel is also blocked by my boats, and the pier is also blocked by our small boats. It is not convenient to go ashore, and the retreat is blocked by Guanshan. We may be able to concoct the Battle of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms period. Maybe the great battle of Panyu will remain in history." Min Chong was still in the mood to joke.

Xiao Yu said, "Then I'll leave it up to all my dear ones."

Min Chong sighed: "If we have enough troops, we can start from Jin'an County, go directly to Yongjia, and go straight to Jianye City, scaring Xiao Yi out of his shit."

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "There are only about 200 million people in our jurisdiction, and we already have more than [-] troops. This is already a heavy burden for the common people."

"That's right. The population is still insufficient. We need to grow more food and cotton so that the people can have more children. Only in this way can we solve the shortage of troops." Min Chong said.

Xiao Yu laughed again: "That's too far away to quench thirst. It takes more than ten years for a child to grow up to be able to go to the battlefield."

"It will be used in the future, such as Dongrong and Xirong in the north." Min Chong is very optimistic.

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu couldn't laugh again: "Rinzhi is still waiting in Jiangzhou to make peace with Xiao Yao, how many people does Teng Yun think Xiao Yi will send here?"

Min Chong frowned: "I'm not sure about this. The governor of Yongzhou is Xue Zhao. His [-] troops should not respond to Xiao Yi's call. Liangzhou has [-] troops. It needs to defend Xirong. Mobilize [-]. Jingzhou has nothing to worry about. The [-] troops stationed there should all come. Yuzhou also needs to beware of Dong Rong. I don’t know if they will be transferred. Yanzhou will definitely not move. It is to block the Dongrong people going north for Jianye City, plus the [-] troops drawn from Dongyangzhou. I don’t know if the soldiers from Yizhou will be transferred. It is conservatively estimated that there will be [-] to [-] troops to attack Jiang state."

Listening to Min Chong's analysis, Xiao Yu couldn't help sighing: "I feel that it's too difficult. Can their [-] troops withstand a force that exceeds multiples?"

Min Chong said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is what General Pei had already expected before he set off on the expedition. Besides, we still have a trump card."

Xiao Yu thought of their trump cards, and said, "I really don't want to use them on my fellow countrymen. The iron cavalry used to deal with barbarians in the future will be similar."

Min Chong said: "There is no way. It's a very important moment. You don't have to think about it so much. Victory is the most important thing."

The war was about to break out, Xiao Yu knew that he couldn't think about that anymore, they couldn't lose this battle.If he loses, Xiao Yi will take the opportunity to wipe them all out, his hard work will be wiped out, all his partners and like-minded people will become Xiao Yi's ghosts, and the people in the three prefectures of Guangjiaoya will also be exploited. .

This lunatic can do such a thing, he will not consider any compatriots.
