Three years is a short period of time. In the past dynasties, at the end of a dynasty, it often took hundreds of years for the signs to appear, for chaos to begin, and for the new dynasty to be established.
And in those hundred years, there were just heroes from all walks of life. You sang and I came on stage. At dawn, the common people, human life is worth less than a dog. In a troubled time, it is normal for the world's population to be reduced by half.
Compared to a long hundred years, three years can be said to be a fleeting time.
But in these three years, the changes in the world will be greater than those in the past thirty years, three hundred years, or even thirty-three thousand years.
The Wu State, located in the southern wilderness, was engaged in construction. In the second year, the steam engine was built, which greatly liberated manpower. As for how it was built, it was naturally due to cheating in Taoism, part of which
Other Taoists could not make precision parts by hand. Zhao Cheng even went to work personally to make the relevant parts, and then used a machine to copy the machine.
In the third year, the first steam locomotive was built, and the first section of railway track was laid, even though the length of this railway track was only three hundred meters.
But the biggest change was in the army of the new country. With all the people in the army, many talented people who were hiding among the people and had very strong talents in shooting were also discovered and incorporated into the army.
The Taiping Battalion of the New Kingdom was also renamed the Taiping Army. They all used rifles with magazines and numbered 10,000. There were five battalions under the Taiping Army, with each battalion having 2,000 people. In addition, the permanent
The number of logistics personnel dedicated to serving the Taiping Army also reached 20,000.
This is equivalent to every two logisticians serving one soldier.
And this kind of system is not to raise the Taiping Army as young masters, but to prepare for emergency marches when necessary. That is, all the burdens, including firearms, bullets, howitzers, food, medicine, etc., are all carried by the logistics personnel to maximize the number of soldiers.
The combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army can be retained to a certain extent, and if someone in the Taiping Army has an accident, they can directly use logistics personnel to deal with it.
These people are said to be logistics personnel, but in fact they are the reserves of the Taiping Army.
It can be said that after three years of hard work, Zhao Cheng's sharp blade for conquering the world has been completely crafted.
Just these ten thousand people, if Liu Guangzheng's side had not cheated, would have been enough to defeat all the forces of the remaining eleven states, even if they were completely united.
As for now, some variables have been added. After three years of development, Da Cang has increased the range of the firearm to one hundred meters and also produced a magazine, although it only has a capacity of five rounds.
In addition to firearms, Da Cang's development in gunpowder is also very rapid. Although Liu Guangzheng does not know the chemical formula of nitroglycerin, the two branches of Buddhism and Taoism have begun to study thunder methods many years ago. Although because of
There are not many Taoists who have really studied this danger in depth, but over the past few hundred years, there have always been a few who were obsessed with it. Although most of these people were killed by bombs and no bones were left, some of their research notes,
But it is retained.
But after knowing the power of guns and cannons, the Taoist priests who surrendered to the imperial court started to study this together, and even seven immortals participated in it.
Human immortals have undergone a second transformation in body and spirit, and their minds are extremely agile. They can be said to be geniuses among geniuses, but they are just a little behind in terms of inspiration. However, they do not need to innovate, they only need to accumulate and spread over a long period of time.
The research notes that were written down were read and summarized.
Although this is a huge project, they are not the only ones participating in it, there are also Taoists who have undergone a spiritual and physical transformation, as well as smart people gathered from the imperial court from eleven states in the world.
This huge project involved nearly ten thousand people, and with the ideas provided by Liu Guangzheng, it progressed very quickly.
As for the consumption, the consumption here is not very big, it is just some ore. It is very easy for the imperial court to dig some ore with it sitting all over the world.
In order to obtain funds for military training, Liu Guangzheng also came up with a trick that was not available in this era, which was to auction the assets of the imperial court, such as mines, rivers, and forests. In the past, only the imperial court could mine these things, but now, they can
It is a mining qualification for ten or twenty years. It is a public auction. Whoever pays the most will win.
After taking pictures at the same time, they will be protected by the court. If anyone dares to do something dirty, they will be punished for treason.
Thinking of his father, his father's father, he was just an official with no real power, which was equivalent to an honorary professor in some famous schools in modern times.
But Liu Guangzheng directly sold the land.
It is said that green is better than blue.
When he first started doing this, there were many voices of opposition in the court, but when a lot of money flowed into the treasury, everyone shut up.
However, Liu Guangzheng's land sale was not without problems. That is, some people cheated during the bidding, relying on bribes and other means to make his opponents withdraw from the bidding directly, and he finally won it at a very low price.
Liu Guangzheng is not used to this either. Either he will share 50% of the money taken by the people below, or he will kill all nine of your clans and directly confiscate your home.
In a few years, he had developed a barely usable intelligence system. At the same time, he also had an estimate of the value of those lands. If it was too low, he would arrest them and torture them first, regardless of whether there were any problems.
In this case, although corruption still continued, it was not serious enough. The last money was directly divided by the officials below, and it was difficult for the court to get it.
And this is already the first year.
In the second year, the imperial court built dozens of iron smelting plants. After the iron and steel matter was settled, Liu Guangzheng began to make guns vigorously. The guns he made in the first year were first bought with the money from selling land.
A Canglong Guard was set up with a strength of 6,000 people, all of whom were impoverished poor people.
In addition, there is also a Cang Yu Army. This army has a total of 20,000 people, but most of them are children of the wealthy families in the divine capital and their clans.
Da Cang's national destiny has lasted for so many years. In the capital of God, all kinds of relationships emerge one after another. Walking on the road, or even beating up a random person, there is a possibility of being related to the royal family.
Liu Guangzheng was in a situation and had to rely on the strength of these people to do things. Naturally, it was impossible to eliminate these people, so he simply formed two armies, one for fighting, and another for
Soothe people's hearts.
The so-called tail is too big to fall off, which is probably the case for him. Even though he knows that these are moths and are holding him back, he can't let go of them at all.
