2031 The Mutiny of the Linghu Family(1/2)
At present, the Cao Family Trading Company has a large reserve of weapons and equipment. Things like artillery and shells cannot be produced on this planet. The productivity on the planet can be said to be very powerful, even if it supports no matter how large-scale it is.
The war can be sustained. It can be said that the production of the arms groups on the earth is not very good now? Because the other side of the earth is in peace and is replacing some electric weapons. What about this primitive weapon that produces gunpowder?
Yes, it is not used very much, but those production equipment can still be used if they are started. The only thing missing is people. Under Li Er's strong advocacy, a large number of people went back to reproduce these, and some labor force was also dissolved for the society.
Yes, these laborers usually have nothing to do. Now they are very satisfied to be able to help the empire and the royal family. Being recognized by the royal family is an honor in their own lives, an honor that they can show off to others.
.
What Li Cong needs to replenish here are the bows and arrows. These bows and arrows are not very easy to replenish. Li Cong has already started to replenish them on a large scale within the three empires, but the production of this thing still cannot keep up with the consumption.
Come on, hundreds of millions of bows and arrows were used in the last battle in the northern battlefield. This is simply unimaginable. But for Li Cong, this is a fact. The quartermaster on the northern front also couldn't believe this number.
But when they saw a large number of carriages pulling bows and arrows one by one on the front line, they really understood that this is indeed what it should be like. The serial crossbow is really powerful. It can shoot ten arrows in one minute.
To pick up a bow and arrow, this speed is not considered fast for most soldiers. When they see the enemy rushing up like a tide, all they have to do is to put their hand on the trigger, and the bow and arrow will continue to shoot out like a submachine gun.
When killing enemies, some people even have more than a dozen bows and arrows on them.
It is not possible to blindly increase production on a large scale. Li Cong asked some veterans to hand over some recruits. You will find a big difference when the veterans and recruits kill people. The veterans usually shoot a bow and arrow at one person.
Even if he is not dead, he will still be injured if he continues. It will not have a great impact on the course of the entire war. But the recruits are different. The first time they kill someone, they are always afraid that the person they kill is not dead yet.
People usually have two or three bows and arrows inserted into their bodies. According to this number, the number of bows and arrows used by a recruit is definitely more than three times that of a veteran. This can be said to be a very strong pressure on Li Cong's supply. And the Cao Family Trading Company's army
The number of internal recruits is much greater than the number of veterans. Although they were trained to fire bursts in the training camp instead of this kind of continuous fire, when they actually went to the battlefield and saw millions of troops in front of them,
When they rushed up, they must have forgotten the knowledge they learned in the military camp, and their hands began to pull on the trigger involuntarily and would not let go.
Although this matter has been said many times, veterans also understand that all veterans came from the era of recruits. They were also like this when they were recruits. They often carried bows and arrows to fight in a war.
Now, a veteran can play two or even three games. The veterans' hands are very steady, but sometimes the recruits are not so steady. They are all trembling and scared because they have never seen anything like this.
If such a scene really occurs, they will feel very scared, and they will be afraid that they will not be able to control their hands. It can be said that this kind of thing has happened many times, and it is the same as taught above. What now?
It's okay to do it. It also requires a long period of training. Li Cong can't expect to train all the recruits into veterans now. It can only increase the supply of bows and arrows in the hope that these recruits will not gain some experience.
That’s it, and it’s all measured in money.
At present, a crossbow arrow used in a serial crossbow would cost fifteen cents from cost to processing fee, which is a little more than a pound of grain. This is nothing to Li Cong. He is completely
It can supply a lot, but if it is less, it will be OK, but if it is more, it will not work. If a person works hard, he can produce six in an hour. In this way, if he works only eight hours a day, he can produce fifty.
Come on, there are now about tens of millions of people helping the Cao family to produce these things. Once they are produced, they will be put into the space ring, and then quickly transported to the front line by airship. This kind of strategic transportation can only be done by Li Cong.
Got it, if the other three empires also have such bows and arrows, it is estimated that the other empires have lost the war by this time, and they simply do not have such strong transportation capabilities.
This was the first time that the common people of the three empires knew about the cooperation method of the Cao family business. They had never thought that they could do the work in their own homes without going out. Every morning, he left a certain amount of money.
Amount of raw materials, and then start making it at home. If it is broken, they will not let you compensate. They will give you an extra set of materials and you will make another one for them, and the crafting fee will be charged. If you are old
If you make something bad, I'm sorry. If it exceeds ten, you will have to pay a certain amount of compensation. When making this thing, you also need to pay a deposit. The amount is not very large, it is the money for the raw materials that day, although ordinary people don't have much at home.
Money, but they still have dozens of pennies. It is not easy to get such a job opportunity. It is much better to farm in the fields. Li never thought that his way of doing things is slowly changing.
The natural brokerage model of the three empires will begin to disintegrate the feudal economies of the three empires.
Regarding the original economies of the three empires, their economic models were like this. Most of the people still had their own land. Although not a lot, their own land could support them every year. They could only
It is to eat well rather than eat well. There is a small number of people who do not have their own land, so they have to rent land from landlords. In this case, in addition to the taxes they pay to the empire every year, they also
Part of the tax revenue is given to the landlords, and their lives are the most miserable. Some of the grain is replaced by coarse grains, because only in this way they will not starve to death. This is basically how the people of these major empires live.
, and after Li Tong adopted this processing model, most of the landless people saw a glimmer of hope. Why don't they do this? The money they make is better than those who have their own land, and they are called landlords.
There will be no one to cultivate the land. The landowners cannot afford to recruit so many people and cannot let the land lie abandoned like this.
Then these landowners began to change. These landowners began to lower the part of the money they should charge, hoping to attract more farmers to do this work. But no matter how you lower it, it is not as good as those farmers going to Li Cong to help work.
They earn a lot of money. If they work eight hours a day, they can earn several hundred pennies. The grain for these few hundred pennies is more than 100 kilograms. In the past, they would not buy so much grain every day and earn so much.
How can they not do it now that they have such an opportunity? It is better to work in Licong than to farm. Most people in Licong have begun to understand this matter, and almost all the family now makes it at home.
What is their daily income? Well, the processing fee given by Li Cong is about five cents. If it is fifty, it is 250 cents. A family of four can earn one or two cents a day. Just in the past
It is absolutely impossible for me to achieve it, but now this is a fact. Who is unwilling to do it?
Most of the people have seen such business opportunities and have begun to throw away the land in their hands. It may not be possible to earn much money by working on this land for a long time? But this matter is different. This money belongs to the Cao family business.
It will be given to you on the spot, and they will not default on you or deduct money from you. Moreover, if you do better, your things will satisfy the people of Cao's Commercial Bank, and they will give you more bonuses, of course.
Well, this is mainly for the people around us to watch and let them all know that our Cao Family Firm will never treat people who help us badly. Everyone has their own needs. This kind of thing is also very good. With a large number of people joining in,
, the land in the hands of landlords is more vacant. When they originally purchased these lands, they hoped to be able to eat rent every day and get fixed income every year. In this way, their family property will become bigger and bigger, and their strength will also become stronger.
They are getting stronger and stronger, but now there is no one to farm the land for them. The cost of the land is depreciating every year. When the grass grows up, they still have to spend money to hire people to weed it.
This made things a bit messy for these bosses. The landowners were not stupid. They began to sell off their land in large quantities. Of course, they would not sell all of it. For example,
If a person's family has one hundred hectares of land, he will definitely sell twenty hectares, because there are still people farming in the eighty hectares. For the other three empires, the total population reaches 600 billion people. Their populations
It is impossible for all of them to work for Li Cong. Li Cong does not need so many people to work. He only needs a small number of them to help him work. It is this small number of people that attracts other people.
Everyone, they all saw that I was the best working for the Cao Family Trading Company, the one with the most income. Although I was a little tired, I was able to earn a lot of money. Such a thing had never been thought of before.
They also want to do this. At this time, the Cao Family Trading Company is not just asking people to help. They are going to take an exam. Only skilled workers can come. I'm sorry for those who are unskilled.
In addition to these, there are other things. The war is about war, horses, money and food. If these things can be supplied in sufficient quantities, it is entirely possible that Li Cong will provoke this war. At present, she is already going to provoke a war. This
In a few days, Li Cong has already looked at the surrounding cities. Basically, the defenses are all the same, built according to the form of the northern battlefield. It can be said that the current trend is very important.
Yes, a total of tens of millions of workers were hired in more than a dozen cities to build these obstacles. If the people of the Eastern Empire went to war with Li Cong, they would definitely lose a lot. It can be said that Li Cong is now inside the Eastern Empire base camp.
This nail has been driven very firmly. If the Eastern Empire wants to pull it out, it will not be easy. At this time, what Li Cong has to do is to use the navy to provoke a war. He has to go to the eastern part of the Eastern Empire.
Go along the coast and get close to the heart of the Eastern Empire.
It had been a few days now, and the guy who had decided to rebel had already written down everything he knew before he was summoned by Li Cong. And Li Cong had already notified the Linghu family to arrest this guy.
All the family members were sent over. It can be said that the transaction between the two parties was quite good. Li Cong knew some coordinates on the sea through this person. Of course, he cannot be allowed to live in seclusion now. The icons that are still on the
He said it himself. He didn't verify it and didn't know whether it was really a few islands in the Eastern Empire or some traps. If there were traps there, he would have suffered a big loss. He had to take this guy to
Go there personally and let your people capture the island directly. Islands on the sea are different from the land on the mainland. The people on the islands on the sea are also very easy to manage. According to what he said, there are only a few people on each island.
If there are millions of people, it will be even easier. This matter is still very promising.
Looking at the Linghu family, their current life is already very difficult. It has been a month since the Linghu family sent the message to Li Cong. Twenty officials from the Linghu family have been killed by His Majesty the Emperor.
He was thrown into jail. Even the reason is a bit ridiculous. In the past, these things were not taken care of at all, but now they are. It can be said that there are two standards for officials in the court. For other things in the court,
Officials are one standard, but the Linghu family or those officials supported by the Linghu family are another standard. One of the officials was actually punished by the imperial censor because he surpassed the gentleman in front of him when he retired from the court because of this etiquette issue.
After impeachment, she was immediately pulled down, removed from office and became a civilian, and this official position was a very important one. He controlled the surrounding city walls and defensive circles. This was also the beginning of letting the Linghu family know about the danger.
The meeting of the Linghu family has been held for two consecutive days. Most of the people in the Linghu family have already understood the current reality. They must protect themselves, and one way to protect themselves is to engage in armed confrontation. If
If this kind of peace continues, the Linghu family will sooner or later be weakened by the imperial court and have no ability to resist. Now there is bad news almost every day. Either this official has been impeached, or some industries there have been closed down.
Otherwise, one of their own people would disappear for no reason, which would be unacceptable to the Linghu family. However, the court did not give any explanation for these things at all. It seems that according to their meaning, this matter is very serious.
It's normal. Don't think too much about your Linghu family's affairs. You are still the same family as before. It sounds nice. Some of the elders in the Linghu family would believe this when I said this before, but now those elders also don't.
They don't quite believe this, they feel like the court is lying to them, and they all have their own judgment in their minds.
At this moment, in the hall of the Linghu family, more than a dozen members of the Linghu family are making final inspections in preparation for the armed riot. Now that most of the senior officials of the Linghu family have returned to the capital, a coup can be carried out in the capital.
It is said to be very dangerous, but it is too difficult to escape back to the Linghu family's fiefdom. Even with Li Cong's airship, it is more difficult. There are many masters in the palace, and ninth-level warriors can easily defeat the airship.
Come down, unless the airship has enough time to fly into the sky, it is fine at a very high altitude. If it is not that high, it can be easily brought down. The Linghu family has already abandoned the retreat.
I mean, if they retreat, there is simply no need. The forces all over the country will suffer a major blow. This is absolutely intolerable to the Linghu family, so what they have to do now is to resist.
The people of the Eastern Empire's royal family are not fools. Of course they have observed the behavior of the Linghu family for a period of time. They bullied the Linghu family like this. It would be really strange if the Linghu family had no reaction. What did this tiger do?
Tigers all the time? It can’t be the same as a sick cat. The people of the Linghu family are now ready. A large number of soldiers of the Linghu family have begun to enter the city, although the city gates controlled by the royal family will not be opened.
Yes, only two city gates were opened by the Linghu family. This shocked the royal family. Didn't they already control the defense of the entire capital? How could such a thing happen? But now they did not dare to take action.
The Linghu family said that they must take action now. They are different from the royal family. The longer the time goes by, the more people from the royal family will come back. Therefore, the Linghu family must occupy the entire capital in the shortest possible time. Their
The capital is not much. But they have their own trump card, which is what Li Cong sent.
This batch of serial crossbows given to us by the Cao Family Trading Company this time can be said to be very powerful. Although the quantity is not large, it will be used at the most critical moment. Our five thousand elites do not have to do anything. I will directly attack the back of the palace.
Follow the reserve force of 10,000 people. As long as someone dies, I will immediately pick up the weapons in their hands and continue to charge forward. These 5,000 people can definitely bring down the palace. By the way, there are also those kinds of grenades, the number
It’s also not allowed to be used when I’m around. All of them are in the palace for me to use. But don’t damage the buildings in the palace. Young Master Linghu stood at his gate and gave orders. At present, there are more than 100 people in the entire capital.
The 800,000-strong army has begun to move. These are all troops controlled by the Linghu family personally. There are also other troops that are pouring into the capital in a steady stream. The royal family has also responded. They are in
A large number of heavy troops have been deployed at the entrance of the imperial city. As long as the Linghu family's troops want to pass through, they will definitely pay a huge price.
This matter is really too big. You are so brave. You did such a thing without consulting the older generation of the family. If we really fail, the Linghu family's hundreds of years of foundation may be destroyed.
There is nothing left. There is no longer our Linghu family in this empire. Although there are still many of our children in the fiefdom, if the entire imperial court mobilizes the power of the empire, how can we have the ability to fight back?
Behind Young Master Linghu, several old men of the Linghu family were still chattering. In their opinion, such a thing cannot be carried out. It is too terrible and too rebellious. If you are not careful, you will be a traitor and a traitor.
His fate, have any of these rebellious ministers and traitors had a good life since ancient times? But young master Linghu would not listen to him at all. He looked back at a few rotten old people. They should all be put into coffins. What will happen in the future?
Society is not yours, and the future Linghu family is not yours either. It would be better for you to be more honest.
Young Master Linghu mounted his horse and drew his sword. Behind him were the five thousand men with serial crossbows. He would personally lead these men into the imperial city and drive the emperor down.
To be continued...
