Chapter 640: Ancient People Were Not Stupid Songzhou Newspaper (Fifth Update)

"What is a steam engine?" Li Chengqi asked along with the question. He knew that when Li Yi made something, it would be a good thing.

"Steam engine actually involves the problem of sealing. It doesn't have to be rubber. Steam is the gas that steams things. The pressure is very high."

Li Yi didn't explain in detail. It's hard to explain physical things.

"Brother Yi, do you mean to use air to drive the windmill like the wind?" Li Chengqi understood it instead.

Li Yi: "..."

He didn't know what to say. It turned out that the ancient people were not stupid. They could think of it at once?

"Yes, use air to blow, but this air..."

"Brother, I understand. When blowing a trumpet, the breath must be concentrated. There is also a hole in the flute and the flute. A lot of air rushes through, and the sound is loud."

Li Chengqi understood again and gave Li Yi an example.

"Yes." Li Yi found that he couldn't say anything.

"Then you can slowly build it, and you can use it to replace manpower after it is built. Steam, just burn fire, control the water and air, and blow."

Li Chengqi nodded seriously.

"That's right, it's always been boiling water." Li Yi admitted.

Is the aircraft carrier powerful? Its power is to boil water.

Even if it is a nuclear-powered submarine, it is still powered by electricity, otherwise where does the electricity come from?

When it was time for lunch, both of them didn't eat and drank.

Li Chengqi muttered and went to make canned seafood soaked in oil and left, and Li Yi went back to the study to copy books.

For a few days, the people with fields began to plant cotton and took cotton seedlings back from Li's farm.

Before the harvest, those who did not participate in tea picking went to dig ditches and repair water networks.

The captives also went to the battlefield. They only needed to be fed and did not need to be paid.

The entire Jingzhao Prefecture became a large construction site, and people from other places also came to earn wages.

This is not the usual salary, it is three times.

The Ministry of Revenue has money, and what it pursues is speed.

There has been nothing going on in the court recently, so Yao Chong breathed a sigh of relief.

Yao Chong came out to talk about the situation during a small court meeting in the morning.

"In the area east of Taihang Mountain, as soon as locusts appeared, local people drove chickens and ducks to eat them. Some merchants bought locusts at the price of rice, and children went to catch them."

He talked about the places where there was no large-scale locust plague last year.

As soon as the little locusts appeared, the people were anxious to bring out chickens and ducks to eat.

Merchants raise pigs and buy them at the price of grain. One catty of locusts is one catty of rice.

Children go to catch locusts, and they can catch a lot in a day, and then they come back to exchange for the same weight of rice.

There is absolutely no difference between a pig eating a catty of locusts and a catty of rice.

Locusts are high in protein. If you raise pigs, it is cost-effective to feed locusts with pig grass.

"Do the people fear the locust god?" Li Longji asked again.

"The people burn incense to the locust god and thank the locust god for sending locusts." Yao Chong said with a smile.

The people knew that it was best to catch locusts now, and not wait for them to cover the sky.

Then they had to pretend to thank the locust god, but what were the people thinking?

"Report, urgent report from Songzhou, Your Majesty, urgent report from Songzhou." Before Yao Chong could figure out what the people were thinking, a voice came from outside.

The palace maids and eunuchs immediately went to find water and oxygen bags. Now it has become a habit. If there is an urgent report, they will do this, and there is also sugar.

Because in the past, some people who reported urgent reports ran over with their last breath, and then fell to the ground and never got up again.

Now everything is supplied. When they arrive at the place, they will breathe oxygen first, and they will get on the cart from the moment they arrive at the imperial city.

On the way over, they sprinkled water to cool down, and someone prepared to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"I'm fine. I drank sugar water when I came back. I am a Yulin flying cavalry." The cart came, six carts, and it was obvious that this group of urgent reports was six people.

The leader was explaining to the others, and he was poured with water.

"Take a few breaths of oxygen first." Li Longji ordered.

So the six people each held an oxygen bag and breathed there with a depressed look on their faces.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine." The leader took a few puffs and couldn't help it.

"How is the situation?" Li Longji asked with a smile.

"Sixty-seven brothers of my Yulin Flying Cavalry died, and they were not brought back. They were pickled with salt." The leader talked about the sad things first.

"Yeah!" Li Longji closed his eyes.

"The Tubo attacked Songzhou City, and we attacked in time, killing more than 2,000 enemies and capturing more than 10,000 prisoners. Another 2,000 Tubo cavalry went to attack Ningyuan Town.

My Yulin Flying Cavalry released two hot air balloons to find out the enemy's situation.

The main force directly entered Tubo, killed more than 4,000, captured more than 6,000, and rescued 3,111 people of the Tang Dynasty.

We are currently negotiating with Tubo to exchange prisoners. Our army won a great victory, and the Tubo army cooperated in attacking Ningyuan Town and retreated urgently."

The six leaders of the Yulin Flying Cavalry who came back told the results of the battle.

They fought a Wei-rescue-Zhao strategy, rescued many of their own people, and forced the enemy to return to defense.

"How many soldiers died in Songzhou?" As the Minister of War, Yao Chong thought that Songzhou's soldiers were in the front and the Yulin Flying Cavalry were behind.

If the Yulin Flying Cavalry died 67 people, what about the casualties in Songzhou?

The Yulin Flying Cavalry did not say anything and looked up at Li Longji.

"How many?" Li Longji asked.

"Two hundred and ninety people." The leader of the Yulin Flying Cavalry gave the answer.

"How did they fight? Your Majesty." Yao Chong asked.

Li Longji nodded.

"Guo Changshi always focused on the Tubo generals and fought. At a distance of more than a thousand steps, he could shoot at most four times, and the enemy generals were guaranteed to be killed."

The Yulin Flying Cavalry man gave an answer, and it was so simple.

"Isn't the death rate of Yulin Flying Cavalry too high?" Yao Chong found the problem again.

When this man looked at Yao Chong, he showed contempt in his eyes: "Yulin Flying Cavalry is called Yulin Flying Cavalry, ride, attack the formation, cavalry charge the formation."

"Yulin Flying Cavalry personally charge the formation?" Zhang Shuo muttered beside him.

"Yulin Flying Cavalry can still form a formation after dismounting. There is no type of army that our Yulin Flying Cavalry cannot do. The strength of Yulin Flying Cavalry is not because of flying cavalry, combat effectiveness, and military soul."

The Yulin Flying Cavalry man said with his neck straight, his eyes full of pride.

"Okay, this can bring back many people of my Tang Dynasty, spread it all over the world!" Li Longji was even more proud.

His private army is not a gorgeous army bought with money, and it will still charge in front when it is time to charge.

After the small court meeting, the urgent report ran to various prefectures with the news to spread this matter.

Everyone in the court, no matter who they represented behind the scenes, is now silent.

Another victory was won. More importantly, the soldiers raised with money were not weaklings. They could fight deep into the enemy's territory.

The most terrifying thing about an army is that it has a military soul. Yulin Flying Cavalry has done it.

From now on, ＵU Reading www. uukanshu.net Yulin Flying Cavalry is invincible.

"Brother Yi has trained good soldiers for me." Li Longji brought the memorial to Queen Wang's palace. He was not in a hurry to revise the memorial, but said to Queen Wang first.

"I knew it earlier. The training method of Yulin Flying Cavalry is different from that of other armies. Sanlang, is there any news from Songzhou?"

Queen Wang thought of it all at once. It must be a victory, and a great victory.

"The casualties are about one hundred and one. I believe that more people will die in Tubo later. They don't have the medical technology provided by Brother Yi."

Li Longji came over and said to Queen Wang's shoulders.

He knew that after the battle of Songzhou, Tubo would be afraid when facing Yulin Flying Cavalry.

The killing was too brutal. If Yidi had not been soft-hearted, he would not have exchanged personnel with the other side. The people of the Tang Dynasty who were captured would not necessarily die.

Letting the Tibetan captives go back would still be a fighting force.
