That night.
Men are affectionate, women are interested.
When Liu Hong gave Mi Zhen a quilt and left.
"Sir, Yue'er is afraid of the dark. Can you please accompany Yue'er?"
Mi Zhen's eyes were full of love. Anyway, her brother had decided to marry her to Liu Hong as his concubine, so there was no harm in giving her the body earlier or later.
Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded and stayed.
"Yue'er thanks you for your life-saving grace. I can only give you this grace in this life."
As Mi Zhen finished speaking, the candle was blown out by the wind.
Under the moonlight.
One or two figures.
Stand sometimes.
Sometimes hanging upside down.
A few days later.
The Mi family was devastated because they could not find Mi Zhen, so Mi Zhu and Mi Fang came to plead guilty.
Liu Hong was puzzled when he saw the two of them but not his sister.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were extremely surprised when they saw their little sister Mi Zhen next to Liu Hong.
Seeing the two of them looking at his concubine, Liu Hong was a little unhappy, but he also knew that the beauty was alluring.
It is understandable that I lost my mind for a moment.
"This is my new concubine. It was robbed by thieves. Both my brothers were killed by the bandits, but I saved them."
Liu Hong's voice fell.
The two Mi brothers looked at Mi Zhen with stunned expressions.
The eyes are full of sorrow and anger, okay, okay! !
You Mi Zhen, you can even tell the story of killing your brother and a bandit in order to run away from home.
Mi Zhen was ashamed by her two brothers, so she stepped forward cautiously.
"I have met two brothers."
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang sounded resentful.
"Madam, please don't call me that. We haven't killed the bandit yet."
"Brothers, please stop laughing at my little sister."
Mi Zhen blushed extremely and hid behind Liu Hong after recognizing each other.
"It turns out that Madam is the Miss Mi family."
Liu Hong looked at Mi Zhen who was hiding behind him in surprise.
"Husband, please stop laughing at me. The worst I can do is... find another way for you tonight."
Mi Zhen whispered in Liu Hong's ear.
Liu Hong smiled and nodded.
Then Mi Zhen told the whole story, leaving everyone in the Mi family with lingering fears.
However, although the process was tortuous, the results were good.
Everyone is happy and everyone gets what they need!
…
Changyi County, Yanzhou, in the governor's office.
Liu Hong looked at the letter sent by the Jin Yiwei envoy and rubbed it in his hand.
Zhang Chun rebelled against the Han, and Liu Hong sent southern Xiongnu soldiers and Liu Yu to attack him. As a result, Xiu Tu Gehu rebelled.
"Hmph, people who are not from my race must have different minds. Barbarians are barbarians. After all, they are just a bunch of white-eyed wolves who are not well-raised."
Liu Hong snorted coldly, letting out his strong energy, and the letter in his hand turned into ashes.
He has been fighting on the border for decades and has never had a good impression of these barbarians.
Looks thoughtful.
Counting the time, Gongsun Zan is about to ascend to power.
With this guy's temperament, once he comes to power, the barbarians on the border of the Han Dynasty may not have a good life.
After all, Gongsun Zan is a thoroughgoing warrior.
"Zhongde."
After Liu Hong finished speaking, Cheng Yu quickly walked in outside the door.
"grown ups."
Liu Hong nodded and looked at the other party.
"How is the research progress on gunpowder and crossbows?"
Previously, he gathered a large number of craftsmen, carpenters and alchemists, and provided them with directions to study gunpowder and repeating crossbows.
He knew the formula for making gunpowder, but he didn't know the specific proportions.
If the specific proportion of gunpowder could be researched, it would be a big killer!
In this era of feudal superstition, the emergence of gunpowder was equally important as deterrent and destructive.
The two armies are fighting, using catapults to throw gunpowder packets at the enemy camp. The sound of the explosion alone can cause the opponent's camp to blow up.
If stones, nails and other items are added to it, the opponent will suffer heavy casualties without even fighting!
Once the gunpowder technology tree is lit, guns can be developed accordingly.
In this era where cold weapons are king, the emergence of muskets is definitely a big killer!
However, with current technology, it is unrealistic to produce gunpowder and firearms on a large scale.
Fortunately, he was just planning in advance and never thought of spreading the muskets to the entire army. The current focus is still on the repeating crossbow!
Since ancient times, crossbows have been contraband, and concealing them privately is a capital crime.
As the king of cold weapons, the crossbow is extremely lethal and can penetrate armor within fifty steps.
It can be called the cavalry nemesis!
The only drawback is that reloading the crossbow is too slow.
If we really have to face a cavalry charge, I am afraid that it will take at most one or two rounds of crossbows for the cavalry to rush in front of us.
He gathered a large number of craftsmen and carpenters to study a repeating crossbow that could fire continuously.
Hearing this, Cheng Yu saluted and said.
"Your Majesty, after the restless efforts of those alchemists, the ratio of gunpowder has been researched."
"It's just that the Liannu still needs some time."
Liu Hong nodded, knowing clearly.
If Lian Nu was so easy to study, it wouldn't be his turn to study it.
He didn't expect what results he would get in a short while.
However, he was a little surprised that the ratio of gunpowder was tested so quickly.
It seems that these alchemists are of some use.
"Go and see how powerful it is."
Liu Hong said slowly.
workshop.
The alchemists, who were studying whether the power of gunpowder could be increased, saluted in panic when they saw Cheng Yu and Liu Hong.
"Greetings to the Governor!"
"Get up!"
Liu Hong waved his hand and focused his gaze on the gunpowder bag on the table.
"Sir, this is the dry weather thunder we have refined. Once it is ignited, the sound is like thunder and deafening."
One of the alchemists bent over and introduced the gunpowder on the table to Liu Hong, his words full of contentment.
"try it."
Liu Hong nodded.
"yes!"
After hearing this, several alchemists quickly installed the gunpowder bags and fuses, came to an open space, buried them, and lit the fuses.
Boom! !
A thunder sounded.
Everyone was shocked, and Cheng Yu looked surprised.
After the dust dispersed, only a crater was opened where the gunpowder package was originally buried.
The sound is loud, but the power is really average.
"How is it, my lord?"
An alchemist bravely stepped forward and asked cautiously.
"The power is average."
Liu Hong spoke calmly.
The alchemist looked downcast upon hearing this.
"It's not that the ratio of gunpowder is bad. The reason why it's not powerful enough is that the problem should be the material from the gunpowder."
Liu Hong gave some pointers, and the alchemists looked thoughtful.
A musket made with such gunpowder is not as powerful as a crossbow.
However, in this era, it is simply impossible to make gunpowder from pure raw materials.
In the final analysis, the level of technology is still insufficient.
If you want to create the powerful gunpowder of the post-modern era, you need at least the technological level after the industrial revolution.
"Sir, how can we improve this drought thunder?"
One of the alchemists asked.
Liu Hong did not hide his secrets. He told what he knew and roughly provided a few directions before leaving it to them to fiddle with.
After all, he himself doesn't know much.
Probably not as professional as these alchemists.
Back at home, Liu Hong took out a tiger charm from the study.
This is the tiger talisman of Chenliu County. After he took charge of Yanzhou, he collected the tiger talismans of all counties.
As for its use, of course I plan to farm a few more arms.
[Tiger Talisman of Chenliu County, Yanzhou]
[To command the troops: to command three thousand county soldiers. (Blue entry)]
