    In a word, the military's spiritual and material civilization construction must keep up and must be more rigorous. Only in this way can it control more territory and territory in the future and have strong cohesion.  Even if they are thousands of miles away, in their hearts, they will always regard themselves as the subjects and soldiers of the Chinese Empire. This is the most critical point.  I remember that at the end of last autumn, this group of officers did not take a boat to go out to sea from the Yellow River or the Yangtze River.  Instead, he went straight south, fully armed.  It took them twenty-one days to arrive at Jiaozhi, and they walked the whole way without anyone falling behind.  According to Wei Yunqi¡¯s words, long-distance marching is the most suitable to sharpen their spirit and body, making them stronger and more courageous.  I wholeheartedly agree with this point. In later generations, there was a team that simply walked out on the 25,000-mile Long March with just two feet, which shocked the world.  The Guards Firearms Tester is now close to being formed.  Their training is even more difficult than that of other guardsmen.  In order to get closer to actual combat, large-scale military exercises are conducted almost every ten days, and countless ammunition is consumed. It is precisely because of such training that their techniques and tactics have been greatly improved.  Two months ago, after receiving a letter asking for help from Murong Daxi, the new leader of Tuyuhun, Murong Fuyun, sent another army to conquer the Eastern Tuyuhun established by Murong Daxi.  Nearly 100,000 troops were dispatched with murderous intent. Murong Daxi led his troops to engage in the battle, and lost consecutive battles. Finally, he gathered 20,000 remaining troops and fled to the West Sea, asking for help from our Chinese Empire. After careful discussion, the court sent  He sent the Imperial Guard firearms tester to the plateau to cooperate with Pei Renji, the current governor of Longyou.  Two days ago, I received the battle report.  The first formation of the Guards Firearms Division went into battle. However, it was not the entire division that went into battle, but 3,000 cuirassiers and 2,000 Eastern Tuyuhun cavalry and 2,000 Chinese Renaissance Army cavalry.  As a result, they encountered Tuyuhun's forward army. When the 30,000 cavalry saw this small cavalry team, they immediately rushed over with murderous intent.  Qu Tuquan, who led his army to detect the enemy's situation, asked the Eastern Tuyuhun cavalry and the Chinese Renaissance Army cavalry to evacuate first, and then led his three thousand lancers to start a unique guerrilla war that lasted for more than an hour, with both sides chasing each other and fleeing.  The musketeers of Forbidden City rely on their carefully selected horses, their excellent cavalry, and more importantly, they possess weapons with a range far beyond that of bows and arrows, in the battle of retreating and attacking at the same time.  More than 5,000 Tuyuhun's forward troops were killed or wounded. In the end, the 30,000 Tuyuhun forwards were forced to give up the idea of ??continuing the pursuit in despair.  In this battle, the Cuirassiers showed off their ferocious fangs for the first time. In the future, they will surely attract the attention of the world.  After that, with the arrival of Tuyuhun's main force, Qu Tuquan returned to Xihai County to govern the city and defended the city together with Pei Yuanqing, who guarded Xihai.  Murong Fuyun's siege force can be described as unlucky. On the first day, without using artillery, the eight thousand breastplate musketeers showed the results of their long training, using muskets far better than bows.  The longer range of the crossbow caused heavy casualties to Tuyuhun's siege army. On the first day of the siege, they retreated three times in a row as soon as they reached the bottom of the city.  On the second day, Murong Fuwan, the commander of the army sent by Murong Fuyun, decided not to test but to directly attack by force. He ordered the army to move forward, intending to capture Xihai County Zhiweiding City in one fell swoop.  As a result, the artillery reinforcement regiment that had already mounted the artillery on the city wall, when the first attack just started, used a sharp bombardment to blow up the Tuyuhun army.  Nearly fifty artillery pieces were concentrated in the west of Weiding City. In the first round of bombardment, the entire Chinese army in Tuyuhun was blown to pieces. It even scared these plateau natives who had never appreciated bombardment.  Out-of-body experience.  At this time, the west gate opened wide, and 3,000 cuirassier cavalry, 20,000 Eastern Tuyuhun cavalry, and 5,000 Chinese Renaissance Army cavalry swarmed out and attacked the Tuyuhun army formations that had been panicked by the bombing.  Murong Fuwan, the coach of Tuyuhun, was blown to pieces in the first round of artillery fire. Finally, a prisoner of war identified a corpse with only the upper half of his body left and wearing iron armor. Only then did he know that the coach of Tuyuhun had become history.  The first high-ranking general to fall under gunfire.  In the subsequent pursuit battle, 4,700 Tuyuhun troops were killed and 15,000 captured.  The rest were scattered in the wilderness.  For the astonishing power of the artillery, these Tuyuhun people directly called it the thunder of the gods.  The powerful power of artillery fire is not only frightening in its destructive power, but what is even more frightening is its ultra-long range and its suddenness that you will never believe. Murong Daxi just wiped his tears and nose, hoping to  Of course, Qu Tuquan directly rejected the acquisition of such an artifact, but Pei Yuanqing was also extremely jealous.  After the great victory, before the Imperial Guard firearms testers returned to Chang'an, pigeon letters came to Chang'an almost every day.    It's nothing more than nonsense like saying that Weiding City is extremely dangerous. I hope the court can consider the situation in Xihai County and leave dozens of artillery pieces for him to play with every day.  Pei Renji's shameless tricks made the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government dumbfounded. In the end, they ordered this guy not to obstruct the Imperial Guard's firearms tester from returning to Chang'an. However, I also made a promise to Pei Yuanqing.  In half a year, an artillery battalion will be assigned to Xihai County and will be under the rule of Pei Yuanqing. This guy directly patted his chest and said that he will definitely support this artillery battalion as his own father and guarantee that no gunner will be lost.  and artillery.  Artillery can be used as a strategic force in the future Chinese Empire army and can be equipped to the border guards in advance. However, the same cannot be said for the musketeers. The musketeers need not only training, but also strong logistics to supplement them.  Although artillery is also needed, the use of artillery is not as frequent as that of musketeers, and more importantly, musketeers must form a large scale to have sufficient lethality.  Therefore, it can only be carried out at the regiment level or the division level. However, only one battalion of artillery is enough to scare the enemy, and its intimidation power far exceeds its actual combat effectiveness.  Therefore, it is more feasible to distribute a small amount of artillery to each border army.  The copper ore exchanged from the Turks reached 200,000 kilograms per month, which is one hundred tons. Previously, carriages were used, and two hundred four-wheeled carriages or eighty six-wheeled carriages were needed.  Nowadays, you only need to use trains to haul copper ore while carrying passengers, and it only takes five days to haul it all.  Nowadays, in order to meet the demand, the original No. 4 steam locomotive has to be used for transportation.  Now that the steam locomotive manufacturing plant has been transformed and expanded, it has been finalized. Next month, the No. 6 steam locomotive will begin trial operation. If it is said that it can really achieve the expected carrying capacity.  Then the construction of ten No. 6 steam locomotives will start immediately. After three months, ten No. 6 steam locomotives can be produced every month.  The construction of the railway from Chang'an to Chengdu is accelerating.  Although crossing the Qinling Mountains will make road construction very difficult, with gunpowder, everything is not a problem.  It is expected that there will be more than 20 tunnels when traveling through the Qinling Mountains, among which there will be three tunnels with a length of 20 to 15 miles.  Is this extremely rare in the history of world railway construction?  Well, it should be called unprecedented. In this era, no barbarian country has ever built railways, okay?  The number of workers invested exceeded 30,000, 30,000. Think about it, the Pacific Railway built by the American gang was the first railway across the North American continent. It was rated by the British ECi as one of the seven industrial wonders of the world since the Industrial Revolution.  one.  The Pacific Railway made a huge contribution to the economic development of the United States. In a certain sense, it was this railway that made modern America possible.  It is more than 3,000 kilometers long and crosses the entire North American continent. It is the first transcontinental railway in the world. This railway is regarded as a miracle in the eyes of Americans. Under the conditions at the time, the construction process was extremely difficult.  .  Among them, the Sierra Nevada Mountains have steep terrain, which is the most difficult problem for building the Pacific Railway.  More than 14,000 Chinese workers participated in the construction of this railway. On the Central Pacific Railway, which is nearly 1100 kilometers long in the western section of the Pacific Railway, 95% of the work is done by Chinese workers.  It was completed within four years of joining the road construction army.  Think about it, now, we have used 30,000, which is more than double the number of Chinese laborers who built the Pacific Railway in the past. In addition, the distance from Chang'an to Chengdu is only more than 700 kilometers.  Therefore, our estimate of opening to traffic within five years is definitely not an exaggeration to surpass the United Kingdom and catch up with the United States, but is a work deadline that must be carefully considered.  Today, on the Bashu Plain, more than 5,000 workers are hard at work pounding soil and laying gravel, while more than 15,000 workers are working along the cement straight road to open up the twenty-odd people from Chang'an to Chengdu.  A tunnel and work hard.  For these tunnels, I even ordered the steam engine factory to speed up the production of Dasheng steam engines, so that they can be used in the project.  For example, it can be used in tunnel excavation work.  And the most important thing is to become a driving force for transporting materials and gravel.  The Chinese Empire has gradually deviated from its original track and embarked on the path of the glorious Industrial Revolution more than a thousand years in advance.  Nowadays, major printing houses have also changed their guns, and the efficiency of printing with steam engines has been greatly improved.  In addition, after weapons manufacturers used steam-hydraulic presses, the forging speed was also increased accordingly.  And all the copper materials obtained from the Turks were thrown into the gun production factory, where they would be turned into cannons, or yellow cannon shells.
