The 2047th chapter is just a prelude
Since the war started, the morale of the Tang army has been lowered every day. Not to mention the local winning or losing, there is no good news anyway.
No one expected that the first time Tang Dynasty morale rose was because Han Yi was in charge.
After Wu Meiniang announced that Han Yi was in charge, the morale of the whole people was rising, and Chang'an was filled with cheers.
Although Han Yi has never fought any war, everyone just believes in him. The last crisis was his turn. Everyone has a blind trust in him, thinking that Han Yi is coming, and that victory is in sight.
The commanders from all walks of life had no objection. After all, Han Yi was in charge of logistics and all the food and weapons were dispatched by him. If you were unhappy with him, you might not have any food.
In addition, he is just in charge and may not necessarily let him command the war.
After Han Yi took command, he set out immediately and headed to the front line. He did not mobilize the army from Guanzhong anymore because he believed that logistics was the key. If the army was increased, it would reduce the power of logistics and increase the pressure of logistics. Even the students from the Military Academy were all arranged in logistics. These students were very precious. Han Yi did not go to war, but to experience it. However, he did not go with these students, but to the junction of Shanzhou and Lanzhou with Yuanjiu.
Yuanjiu was very excited because he knew that Han Yi was finally going to take out his secret weapon. In fact, the three thousand soldiers and horses he had trained had long been taken away by Han Yi.
"The Gobi desert is everywhere in front of us. Are we going the wrong way?"
Yuanjiu felt very nervous when he saw the endless Gobi wilderness in front of him. He was afraid of Han Yi now. This kid was so scared that he was so scared that he was so fucked.
Han Yi smiled and said, "I will not go wrong with this road to victory."
The two of them walked for a long time, and saw a small group of people walking towards us. The leader was a woman in black armor, who was so heroic.
"You are here!"
When the woman saw Han Yi, she smiled slightly, suddenly became stunned, and said, "Your hair?"
It was Chen Shuozhen who looked even more heroic when wearing armor, which made Han Yi want to get a similar sexy uniform.
Han Yi was ready to go, touched his little hair, and then showed off his coat and leather boots, showing off: "Is it handsome?"
Chen Shuozhen just smiled but said nothing. If she focused on being handsome or not, she should choose handsome men like Dugu Wuyue and Wang Xuandao instead of Han Yi.
But let alone, Han Yi's outfit highlights his alternative temperament. If Wang Xuandao dressed like this, he would definitely not be as handsome as him, because Wang Xuandao does not have his temperament.
Therefore, Han Yi also believed that her appearance was delayed by this hairstyle. She walked forward and gently hugged her without any scruples. She said to Yuanjiu: "You may have heard from Youya, but you may not know her true identity."
Yuanjiu waved his hand and said, "What is your real identity? Isn't it your woman? I don't want to know this. I just want to see your secret weapon as soon as possible."
He really doesn't care about how many women Han Yi has, because he is not a good bird himself.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud bang in front of him.
Yuanjiu was shocked and said, "What's the sound?"
Han Yi said: "I think it should be thunder."
Chen Shuozhen immediately laughed when she heard this.
Yuanjiu wanted to glar at Han Yi, but he didn't dare to go up and ran away in search of the sound.
Han Yi smiled bitterly, and saw Ono also ready to move, so he said, "You go too, I'm very safe here."
Ono nodded excitedly and immediately rode away.
Han Yi didn't want to keep these light bulbs, so he gently held Chen Shuozhen's hand and said, "Are you tired?"
Chen Shuozhen gave him shyly and said, "I have just arrived, so why are you tired?"
Han Yi nodded and smiled and said, "Let's go and take a look."
After a while, they came to a depression and saw Yuanjiu and Ono riding on his horse, staring blankly below.
Han Yi came to them and looked down. It turned out that there was a very large training base inside the depression, and this training base was another world for Yuanjiu.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
There was a loud noise, looking at the sound, I saw a row of copper tubes flashing with metallic light, and thick white smoke was still emitted from the mouth of the tube. In a moment, a loud noise came from afar, and another thick dust rolled, covering the sky and the sun.
Then I heard a crackling sound. When I turned my eyes and saw a row of soldiers, holding strange weapons, neatly stepped forward and shooting the scarecrow inside.
"How about it?"
Han Yi asked with a smile.
Before Yuanjiu could come back to his senses, Ono said excitedly: "Brother Han, what are some weapons do these?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "There are artillery over there, and the firearms over here."
"Architecture? Musket?" Yuan Jiu said: "What is it?"
Han Yi said: "Simply put, it is a weapon. Let's go down and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew past him.
Han Yi rolled his eyes and went downstairs with Chen Shuozhen and Ono.
Yuanjiu's arrival directly led to a suspension of training, because this guy wanted to stretch his head into the cannon barrel and was deeply curious about all this.
I ran to the stone wall in front again, saw craters one by one, and ran to the target area again, holding the so-called musket, and couldn't wait to take it over and fire it a few shots. I felt full of pleasure, and I felt that everything was like a dream, so unreal.
Han Yi was not as excited as him. He was inspecting these weapons with Chen Shuozhen and asking about the training situation.
In fact, the entire training plan was planned by Han Yi. He first asked Yuanjiu to train these people into well-trained soldiers, brave and disciplined, and then arranged them to industrial production to learn all aspects of industrialization. Finally, he dispatched them here to train them with new weapons.
"Han Yi!"
Suddenly, Yuanjiu shouted.
Han Yi looked back and saw Yuanjiu holding a gun at him.
Before he could come to his senses, Chen Shuozhen immediately raised his right hand.
With a bang, Yuanjiu's gun fell to the ground immediately. He quickly raised his hands and shouted, "I'm just kidding, there is no ammunition inside."
Why was he so scared? Because the several cannons behind Han Yi were aiming at him. Not to mention whether they were accurate or not, it looked quite scary.
Han Yi rolled his eyes and waved at Chen Shuozhen again, and those muzzles turned around.
Han Yi walked up and smiled and said, "Master Yuan Castle, how about it?"
"Awesome! This weapon is so amazing!"
Yuanjiu was excited and picked up the gun again, playing with it with it in love, and asked again: "When did you do this?"
Han Yi wrinkled and thought for a while, and said a little tired: "To be honest, I think it must have been a long time ago."
Regarding gunpowder, Han Yi had actually taken it out for a long time, and had been secretly improving, producing, and reserved it. However, he had been hiding it, at most he used it as a smoke bomb and did not offer it to the court, because this was his bottom line, and he didn't need to take this thing to flatter Li Zhi. After all, the Tang army is so powerful, how could he care about this thing?
You should know that when this gun didn't even have a wheel, the raw materials for the gunpowder he produced were already piled up, but no one knew what these things were used for?
The earlier than gunpowder were iron ore, copper ore, coal mine, and all the raw materials for producing guns and artillery were already reserved. After that crisis, his wealth was increasing rapidly. If he didn't do arms, he really didn't know how to spend the money. And when he initially reserved raw materials, the cost was not high at all, because the Tang Dynasty was too large and the materials were abundant. He knew that there were coal mines and iron ore in those places, but he had to go find them. He sent people to search for them very early and early, and then secretly excavated them. How could the court know about this?
Later, he bought Indian slaves, Tubo slaves, and Kunlun slaves to help him dig, and mined in large quantities.
Just waiting for technological breakthroughs.
In fact, after the hydraulic boring machine came out, he was already developing the gun barrel. In the two years after the crisis ended, bronze smoothbore guns were developed and were already being produced, but they were not taken out. Now the first batch of steel cannons have also been produced, because in the past few years, steel smelting also made very major breakthroughs.
With the advancement of lathe technology, spring and screw technology is becoming increasingly mature, especially after the maturity of watch technology, flintlock guns were naturally developed and flint fired directly.
Han Yi is very familiar with guns and loves them very much. After all, guns were used to save lives for him, but he only knew the structure and principles, and did not know the production process of these parts, and had to be mass-produced. This requires the wisdom of the people in the world. He could not complete it alone. The technological development he inspired over the years is more or less related to the production process of these hot weapons.
Chen Shuozhen, who arrived first, had already passed the excitement and said worriedly: "But I see that your weapons are difficult to help our army win. Although the cannons are powerful, they are too small, and the muskets are troublesome to load, so they are not as convenient as bows and arrows."
Yuanjiu blinked and said, "There are very few? How many are there?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "Not counting the guns and cannons I practice here, I currently only have one hundred guns and twenty cannons, which are being transported to the front line quietly."
Yuanjiu's face turned pale and said depressedly: "You can't satisfy me if you are only a little bit like this. Then Tubo is a army of hundreds of thousands, which is useless."
Han Yi smiled strangely again and said, "These muskets and cannons are just one of my secret arsenals. I never thought of using these guns and cannons to eliminate Tubo. It would be too hard, not my style. In fact, I had already hung a sharp sword on Qin Ling's chest a long time ago. It depends on what day I was in a bad mood and inserted it for him so that he would never be reborn."
Chen Shuozhen lowered her eyebrows and pondered. She knew that Han Yi was not thinking about the mood, but interests, but she couldn't guess how Han Yi would squeeze out the benefits.
Yuanjiu said excitedly: "I knew, I knew that your kid's conspiracy was all set and it was hard to guard against. Then I wonder what the 'sword' refers to?"
