It has to be said that the unique firing method of the new artillery gave all the unimaginable "shock" to all the old men, including Lao Li. Looking at the sledgehammer that was waving like a ironclad, everyone had the urge to kill.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to do this. After all, he studied chemistry rather than weapon design. He didn't know the specific details of artillery, so it was naturally impossible to design a cannon that fired with a press of a button or a rope.

Fortunately, the power of the artillery is pretty good. After a loud bang, looking at the smoke rising from the mountains in the distance, a group of old guys once again shifted the topic to other places, and did not delve into the issue of sledgehammer smashing shells.

Surprisingly, the high-quality imitation 98k was unanimously praised by the big guys. Finally, under the leadership of His Majesty Li Er, several old guys personally went on stage and had a lot of fun. It was not until his shoulder was hit by the buttstock and he felt a little sore.

In this regard, Li Chengqian just wanted to summarize it in one sentence: This is such a happy day!

...

After the weapon test is completed, the next step is naturally to change clothes.

All the old-fashioned equipment in the past were replaced, and the imperial guards of the palace all replaced the legendary 98k. Li Chengqian would make mistakes about the jet lag from time to time and think that he had traveled to the Republic of China again.

There is no way, it's really like it. Looking at the big-headed soldiers wearing 42 camouflage military uniforms, wearing German-style helmets, and 98k back and forth patrolling back and forth, it really makes people think of the legendary era.

...

Outside the palace, if you are more careful, you will find many places that are very different from before.

The first is that the industrialization process has been greatly accelerated, and the investment of countless new machines has made Chang'an City, which was originally dominated by agriculture, almost become an industrial empire.

A large number of machines are put into the market, making production scale and cluster.

All the small workshops in the past were gone, and replaced by large factories.

What are spinning mills, weaving mills, bicycle factories, etc., etc., and so on.

The most common carriages and ox carriages on the streets are no longer horse and carriages, but tricycles and bicycles.

Every day, you can see a large bicycle army surging out from the city gates on the east and west sides, and at night you can see a large bicycle army surging back. Jian is a great wonder of Chang'an City.

...

With the changes in Chang'an, some surrounding cities are also undergoing changes. Chimneys rise from the ground, and factories create a lot of wealth for their owners amid the roar of machines.

The construction speed of railways is getting faster and faster. The railway to the east has already radiated to the northeast, Shandong, and Jiangjian areas, while the railway to the west has also run through the entire Western Region and entered the recently conquered Tianzhu.

The huge Western Regions Legion began to withdraw its troops little by little. In addition to leaving a part of the people to continue to guard the newly conquered country, a group of Indian soldiers were hired to garrison in various places.

These Indians are actually easy to control. They have nothing to do with who is ruling them. As long as someone collects taxes, they will pay them. As long as they can still survive, they will not resist. Some of them seem so normal.

The Cannibal once launched a tentative attack on the border, but a shell was smashed and five thousand cavalry were destroyed. Since then, the Cannibal has been honest and returned to his territory obediently. He even gave up a territory at the border, called a buffer zone.

...

The railway in Mobei is an extension of the eastern section of the railway. It was only started in the 14th year of Zhenguan. However, due to the geographical environment, the railway was built very fast. It has run through the entire Mobei in two years, from the foot of Yinshan to Yudujin Mountain.

With this railway, the aliens in Mobei finally became honest. On the day the railway was opened, they realized how stupid they had done.

Without railways, it would take at least half a month for the Tang army to reach Mobei, but now, it only takes three days to arrange all the troops in place.

This means that if they wanted to rebel again, they would probably have already been in a big way before they could catch all their troops.

...

The environment in Northeast China is relatively complex, with a large number of wealthy families crowding there, fighting for their respective interests every day.

But the northeast is only a little bit. Although the land is fertile enough and produces a lot of things, the influence of the aristocratic families has begun to weaken in the Central Plains region, and it is useless to have influence in the northeast.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian has been strongly supporting the Northeast, and his economy and policies are somewhat tilted, which has prevented the aristocratic family from jumping up and causing trouble.

There is also an industrial base in the Northeast. The Northeast has rich resources, not only various mineral resources, but also countless fishery and animal husbandry resources.

In addition to iron ore, copper ore, coal ore, gold ore, there are also a large amount of oil, as well as some non-metallic minerals, these are things that can be used now or in the future, so Li Chengqian will naturally not let it go.

So even though the Northeast can only develop iron, copper and coal at present, he still occupied this land and controlled it tightly in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

The role of Qinling is to manage the land in the northeast, that is, the north of Shencheng, and to the place named Vladivostok.

...

Japan, Hou Junji and others were no longer interested in this country that had been crippled. They chose several places with better locations to set up camps, leaving more than a thousand people everywhere to guard the country, and all the others retreated to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Li You returned to the Tang Dynasty for many years. The first thing he did when he went ashore was to order a large bowl of noodles, and he just fucked it into his stomach without anything.

Damn it is not something that people can stay in Japan. If you continue to stay, Li You thinks he will definitely be the first prince to starve to death in the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang army's troops were withdrawn, those Japanese or naturalized people also began to make small plans, thinking that their current strength should be enough. With the batch of equipment left by the Tang army after they left, they killed the remaining five or six thousand Tang troops in the country, and then...

Then there was nothing. When they saw the giant steel ship by the sea, when they saw the huge warship bombarded the distant sea and knocked off their handsome flag, everyone was scared and no longer had the idea of ​​resisting. They threw away their weapons and knelt all over the ground.

In that month, the output of silver and copper mines doubled. The Tang soldiers who stayed behind were so happy that they could smile. After all, how many mines were opened were related to their income. The more they dug out, the higher their salary would be.
