"Young Master, news comes from the military industry manor, the dragon power cannon has been created!"

In the court, he still had a dispute over whether to reduce the vassal states, and Zhu Chenhao also heard a good news, which made him very happy.

The Dragon Power Cannon, like the Thunder and Fire Rifle, was improved by Zhu Chenhao based on the manufacturing technology of foreign guns and cannons in Yan Zhendong's hand. Although it cannot be compared with the real foreign artillery in the late Qing Dynasty, it is much more advanced than the most advanced Fran machine cannons in the current era.

The biggest change is to change the original solid bomb into an explosion bomb and a flowering bomb, which increases the power of the original shell by geometric times.

It can be said that with the Dragon Power Cannon and the Thunder and Fire Rifle, the Eight Banners Cavalry, which the Qing court was proud of, could completely withdraw from the stage of history. Once the army under his command was fully equipped with these two types of firearms and conquering the city and land, it would be like taking objects out of his bag.

In this world of Deer and Cauldron, it is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack, and it can be pushed and crushed when it encounters any military city.

"Okay, let's go to the military industry manor now!"

When Zhu Chenhao heard Ping'er's report, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately decided to go to the military industry manor to inspect. He wanted to see with his own eyes the power of the dragon power cannon and see if this cannon can afford the name "Dragon Power".

The military manor is known for what it is for by name. It is located in Ning County, a remote county 150 miles away from the west of the capital. It is also one of the many fiefs of the Borjigit family, the Empress Dowager's family. Because it is remote and has a small population, even if Longer asks for it, the Borjigit family didn't care.

Of course, now the officials and guards of Ningxian County have long been replaced by Cao Gang personnel, and the local snakes and wealthy landlords in the county have all been incorporated by Cao Gang, either joining the Cao Gang or disappearing directly.

It can be said that except for the Black Dragon Banner at the top of the city, the entire county town has not changed its surname, Cao, and has nothing to do with the original Borjigit family, and has become the base camp of the Cao Gang.

In order to ensure the safety and secrets of the military industry manor, Zhu Chenhao also arranged two battalions of nearly a thousand troops in Ning County, all of which were drawn from the Cao Gang. He usually trained completely in military standard and was equipped with the latest firearms developed by the military industry manor. He had ammunition and was not short of food and grass, which completely turned Ning County into an iron barrel that could not be poured into oil.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the court sends an army of ten thousand people to attack, it will still be bloody.

Don’t blame Zhu Chenhao for being so cautious. In fact, this military industry manor is too important. It is his biggest reliance on launching a coup to sweep the world. Once the military industry manor fails, if it wants to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and complete the alliance tasks, the difficulty will be increased by more than a hundred times. The original blitzkrieg will also become a protracted war.

In addition, in order to build this military manor, Zhu Chenhao's pocket was almost empty. It was a real spending money. If it weren't for the formation of the Cao Gang and the continuous blood transfusions of the Cao Gang, his military dream would have long died.

However, after spending a lot of money, the work progress of the military industrial manor increased significantly.

It is precisely because of this that the manufacturing of muskets and cannons cannons can be supported.

When Zhu Chenhao heard Ping'er report that the development of the Longwei Pao was successfully carried out, he immediately took a few confidants from the Huangzhuang and came to Ning County, where the military industry manor was located.

Unlike what I saw when I first came to Ning County half a year ago, Ning County is no longer what it used to be.

Although the original Ning County was also a county town outside the capital, it was so poor that it was so poor that it could not bear to look at it. Even rats were disgusted, so no official was willing to come.

The low earth city has a dilapidated gate and the earthen walls are covered with moss and various grass vines.

The hundred soldiers guarding the city were all scattered, holding tattered and broken spears in their hands, without any protection, and only wearing patched uniforms, drooping their heads, crooked and twisted, without any standing posture, and could withstand a small group of bandits. If they really encountered a large group of bandits of hundreds of people, these soldiers would probably have been abandoned long ago.

So, the original Ning County was really poor. It was a poor county with a household registration of 3,000, and even the soldiers guarding the city were too lazy to earn the city expenses.

It’s not that I don’t want to collect it, but I really can’t collect it. I only collect hundreds of copper coins in a day, which is not enough to divide it from above. I can’t even drink some rotten soup. Why do I need that effort?

And now?

Although the wall of Ning County is still a mud wall, it is more than twice as high as before. The gate of the county town has been replaced with a new big copper gate. On the city wall, at the entrance of the city gate, there were a row of soldiers guarding the city, staring at the person entering and leaving the county town of Ning County with fierce eyes.

Nowadays, almost all the soldiers in the county towns of the Qing Dynasty were making up for the numbers, not much better than the yamen runners. Most of them were crooked and scattered. After all, as today, the Tartars of the Qing court occupied the world and were really unfriendly to the Han people. Those who were a little bit ambitious would not be in the army anymore.

But these soldiers in Ning County were completely different. They were all big and round, strong, with iron golems on their heads and brand new iron armor, protecting them from head to toe, holding treasure knives, stabbing shields, long spears, and tung oil was applied to the swords and guns, and the cold light was shining.

Ordinary soldiers fight, they do not rely on martial arts, nor do they do not rely on martial arts, they do rely on weapons and armor.

It is no exaggeration to say that just a dozen Ning County soldiers were able to cut dozens of armorless soldiers as melons. Hundreds of bandits would be shy when facing them, and turned around and fled.

Zhu Chenhao hasn't come to Ning County for a long time. When he saw the soldiers guarding the city, he couldn't help but lit up and praised: "Yes, it seems that Ning County has developed well under Xiao Wangshu's governance!"

Xiao Wangshu was originally a gang accountant in the capital. Later, after joining the Cao Gang, he showed a certain governance ability. Therefore, after passing the political review, he was operated by Zhu Chenhao and became the magistrate of Ning County and managed the Cao Gang base camp.

"It's all planned by the young master!"

Ping'er, who was beside him, said with admiration when she heard Zhu Chenhao's words.

She is a person who knows the inside story. It is entirely due to Zhu Chenhao's contribution to Ning County's development to the present. All the plans were made by him, so Ping'er admired him so much.

Zhu Chenhao shook his head and said, "It's different. Planning is planning, and actual construction is actual construction. Xiao Wangshu can do this, which is also a great talent!"

Planning does not mean development. No matter how good the planning is, if it cannot be implemented, it will be in vain.

Xiao Wangshu could develop Ning County to its current level based on Zhu Chenhao’s tips and plans. Not to mention the others, just talking about management and coordination and execution capabilities, he would be optimistic.

This also made Zhu Chenhao very pleased. After all, it is easy to conquer the country and difficult to defend it. If he wants to use Long'er's hands to open up a prosperous era, he must have enough talents so that he can sweep all the corrupt bureaucrats in the court into the garbage dump of history and let the future China beg for the top of the world.
