Everyone knows that aliens are the biggest hidden danger restricting the development of Fengzhou. If the issue of aliens could be solved so easily, Fengzhou would have been occupied by someone long ago. Naturally, it would not be Ye Mingsheng or Ye... ········
In a feudal society with cold weapons, nomads can be said to be the biggest enemies of farming peoples. Many splendid farming civilizations have been destroyed by nomads.
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng, who comes from the earth, decided to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks from a higher dimension as much as possible, so that the nomads can become hospitable and good at singing and dancing...
Simply put, the solution given by Ye Mingsheng is-firearms!
Firearms have been greatly developed in the Zhou Dynasty. The army is equipped with many three-eyed blunderbuss, bird blunderbuss, tiger crouching cannon and other firearms. These firearms have also been fully used in wars, showing that It has stronger power.
However, due to limitations in the development of science and technology, current firearms cannot change this era. The warfare method based on cold weapons can only play a supporting role.
The knowledge in Ye Mingsheng's mind will change this situation and lead the trend of the times!
The ingredients of black gunpowder are coal, saltpeter, and sulfur.
The first two are produced in Toyosu, only sulfur needs to be purchased. In addition, Toyosu is also rich in iron ore resources. Therefore, from the perspective of raw materials, Toyosu has the basic conditions for the use of firearms.
The only thing Ye Mingsheng lacks now is a large number of experienced craftsmen to turn his ideas into reality.
However, Ye Mingsheng has already considered everything. Although he does not have the resources of craftsmen, An Zhirong, who has such a huge business empire, does!
The only thing Ye Mingsheng needs to do now is to integrate his own resources and combine it with his own memory to produce several firearms suitable for his own troops...
When the time comes, with the blessing of these firearms, even if it cannot be said that gods can block gods, Buddhas can block Buddhas, and crush opponents, it can also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of Ye Mingsheng's soldiers and horses, ensuring that Ye Mingsheng can survive in this world of great contention. Competitiveness in the world!
In addition to asking his men to collect these open-pit coals, Ye Mingsheng also ordered his men to conduct a simple excavation of the land. It must be said that Ye Mingsheng was quite lucky. They only dug nearly one and a half meters, and they found the coal seam. , judging from the distribution of coal seams, the reserves of coal mines are still very huge.
This makes Ye Mingsheng undoubtedly very satisfied. Fengzhou's rich coal and iron resources will be an important part of his economic plan!
With these coal and iron resources, combined with Ye Mingsheng's mind, the "steel frying method" that adapts to the development of productivity in this era, but is decades ahead of the technological level of this era, Ye Mingsheng can obtain a large amount of steel!
The importance of steel in both feudal society and industrial society is self-evident and needs no further elaboration...
After inspecting the Shuangdongxiang Coal Mine, Ye Mingsheng spent several days in Shiquan County and the adjacent Maolin County, conducting field research on more than ten mineral deposits in these two counties.
Five days later, Ye Mingsheng returned to Fengzhou Prefecture with a satisfied mood. This investigation and research on minerals made Ye Mingsheng more clearly aware of the status of the mineral resources in the land under his rule. It also made Ye Mingsheng more aware of the situation. The economic plan is more in line with reality.
After returning to Fengzhou, Ye Mingsheng, who had worked hard for several days, originally wanted to take a good rest and relax, study and study together with Pei Zhixiu and Jinyu, and have a more in-depth discussion on life, ideals and other issues.
Regarding Ye Mingsheng's proposal, Jinyu, who had always been very bold and open-minded, was just a little more reserved and acquiesced to Ye Mingsheng's idea with a silky brow.
Pei Zhixiu was the only one who was very resistant to Ye Mingsheng's idea. Ye Mingsheng tried hard to get it together, and then Ye Mingsheng refused no matter what.
Just when Ye Mingsheng was enjoying his short rest, a difficult matter quietly found him...
General Military Mansion, in the study.
Ye Mingsheng, who was enjoying Jinyu's careful massage, got the letter sent to him by Lin Huaiwu from Ye Dong's hand.
After opening the letter and looking at the contents, Ye Mingsheng, who was originally looking relaxed, suddenly became serious.
"You go down first!" Ye Mingsheng thought for a moment and whispered to Jinyu:
"Young Master..."
After finally getting the chance to be alone with Ye Mingsheng, Jinyu naturally didn't want to give up like this, and immediately hugged Ye Mingsheng's arm and started to cry.
"Be obedient!" Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly and said:
Although this girl Jinyu is very good at pleasing herself and making herself happy, she is indeed not as smart as Pei Zhixiu, and she cannot tell the difference between her eyebrows and her eyes.
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's resolute attitude, Jinyu pouted her lips. Although she felt a little resentful, she still reluctantly walked towards the study door. Before leaving, she did not forget to say:
"Master, I will prepare your favorite hot pot in the room tonight. You must remember to come..."
"If you don't come, I will wait for you all night!"
"I know!" Ye Mingsheng shook his head helplessly.
After sending Jinyu away, Ye Mingsheng immediately called for Ye Dong. Ye Dong, who was familiar with Ye Mingsheng's style of conduct, whispered without Ye Mingsheng asking:
"Master, the people sent by Master Lin are waiting outside at any time to be summoned!"
Ye Mingsheng nodded and said: "Let him come in!"
"As you command!"
Under Ye Mingsheng's order, a very capable young man came to Ye Mingsheng's study and greeted him:
"Second Battalion General Ma Zhongjun has met the Commander-in-Chief!"
"How is the situation in Xinfa County now?" Ye Mingsheng asked directly:
"The situation is currently stable. The attacker was only a small Khitan force, numbering a hundred or ten people. Commander Lin has taken control of the situation and killed more than thirty people. The remaining people were all captured. Commander Lin asked Sir, what should I do with the captured Khitan people?" Ma Zhongjun reported to Ye Mingsheng:
Hearing Ma Zhongjun's answer, Ye Mingsheng's expression softened a lot. He had two main enemies in Fengzhou. The first one was Zhen Sanshan who attacked the caravan. The second one, and the most troublesome one, was that in recent years The Khitan people are ready to make a move.
In order to ensure his own financial resources, Ye Mingsheng sent Yuan Song to protect the caravan. In response to the threat from the Khitans, Ye Mingsheng sent Lin Huaiwu to Xinfa County to defend the city.
If Fengzhou is the frontier for Liaoyang to deal with the Khitan threat, then Xinfa County is the frontier for Fengzhou, acting as a barrier for Fengzhou!
