Chapter 348 What Do We Have?

Deadwood Ridge, the outermost border gate in the west, stands solemnly and quietly, as if looking at the capital of the motherland. This time, it was only 50 kilometers away from Shangyong City, the capital of Emperor Cai, but due to various reasons, it had to be "enough". After the war, Yan Zhengqing led the Anyang soldiers back to Kumuling.

Footsteps sounded from behind, and the soldiers came with a Lingtong treasure, "Commander, a message from Anyang."

Lingtong Baojian already has a storage function, which is a storage technology developed from jade slips; there are quite a lot of information transmitted. But it is mainly the suggestions given by Anyang and the material notification provided.

Based on the current situation, Xu Ren, Li Yuanming, Yan Ze'an, and Yuan Yong jointly concluded that 70% of Cai Guo may eventually give up the southern territory and retreat to the Sanchuan area. In this way, Cai Guo will inevitably let the three countries of Chen Guo, Zheng Guo, and Deng Guo come in to drive away the wolf.

For this reason, Li Xian ordered Yan Zhengqing to continue to guard the north and strengthen the defense.

In addition, Anyang also sent 200,000 bicycles!

Don't underestimate bicycles; when the bicycles were first exhibited last year, Xiao Liming saw the military value of bicycles; now, after a year of development and refinement, Anyang's military bicycles have finally appeared. That is - mountain bikes.

After a while, Yan Zhengqing saw a load of bicycles being delivered. This newly designed military bicycle has the characteristics of multiple gears, sensitivity, firmness and heavy load. These bikes are tall and strong, and they can even carry machine guns, small artillery pieces, etc. in the back. Completely exerted the physical strength of the cultivator to the extreme.

This kind of bicycle is simple, but it can adapt to various terrains. It is more reliable than horses. It does not need to provide food, grass and fuel. If it is broken, it can be repaired.

As an old man in Anyang, the first thing Yan Zhengqing looked at were bicycle tires. This time, Yan Zhengqing discovered that the tires of the bicycle had changed. It was no longer the kind of tire rolled with animal fur (mainly pigskin, cowskin, sheepskin, etc.), but a very elastic, black unknown material.

"This is the latest research result of the chemical department and the petroleum department. It is similar to isinglass, glue made from animal fur, gum, etc., but because it is extracted from petroleum, it is called 'stone glue'. But the name is kept secret. Yes, keep quiet for the time being." The person who drove the bicycle was an engineer from the Brilliant Star Group.

Anyang's external secrecy work starts from the most basic - not even the name and title are known to outsiders, so that others don't even know that Anyang has this kind of item or technology!

"Okay, thank you for letting me know." Yan Zhengqing was very serious.

The engineer laughed: "Hi, my name is Sun Zhifei. There are two missions this time. The first is to deliver 200,000 bicycles. The second is to teach all soldiers how to disassemble, repair and use them. "

The bicycles were counted, but before Sun Zhifei could explain, many resting soldiers were already running around on bicycles. In the end, Yan Zhengqing grabbed a few and came over to learn how to repair this new bicycle. It should be said that the structure of the bicycle is too simple, and it can be explained clearly in a few words.

After sending Sun Zhifei away, Yan Zhengqing looked at the soldiers who were enjoying themselves, and smiled slightly, "With bicycles, the marching speed can be at least doubled, the materials carried can be tripled, and the fatigue of soldiers can be reduced by 70% Good stuff, you don’t need to eat grass.”

…………

Half a day later, the soldiers of Tang State also received 200,000 bicycles, needless to mention the joy.

…………

In Guangling County, Kong Donglai and Wang Chuan sat down face to face. Regarding Kong Donglai's coming to cooperate, Wang Chuan had already expected it; Nanyang County, which was the most powerful in the past, has fallen to the current situation.

Most of the main force has been lost, financial resources have been basically exhausted, people's hearts are scattered, facing the encroachment of Anyang, and facing the north-south pincer attack of Anyang and Jin Kingdom-now looking back, it is a miracle that it has not been wiped out!

Even as long as Anyang is willing, it is estimated that Nanyang County can be taken by a single charge! With the prerequisite of Anyang's unconditional return of 200,000 prisoners of war, the state of Jin ignored Nanyang County even more.

However, Nanyang County is not having a good time, and Guangling County is not having a good time either. Now Guangling County is facing the two big countries of Jin and Qi, and the pressure is huge. Xiao Liming in the north is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Previously, Guangling County joined forces with Songzhou County to attack Nanyang County. The main reason was that they were forced by the pressure of Xiao Liming and Baofeng County. They had no choice but to annex Nanyang County to strengthen themselves.

Now that Nanyang County took the initiative to ask for cooperation, it is of course very good. But there is a problem, a very serious problem, that is - who calls the shots?

Nanyang County and Kong Donglai mean that everyone is on an equal footing and will overcome the current difficulties together; when they become stronger, they will each go their own way. Anyway, it's adversity and blessings... Each side walks.

But Wang Chuan really wanted to say, this is bullshit! At this juncture, if you can't work together and gather all your strength into one fist, there is almost no possibility of success.

After a long dispute, another report was sent, about the battle situation of Xiao Guo/Xiao Liming, Tang Guo/Li Yulong, Anyang/Li Xian in Cai Guo in the north.

After seeing this information, Wang Chuan suddenly stood up, "Wang Ping, Shangguan Yong, open the map!"

Wang Ping and Shangguan Yong who were standing beside them immediately opened a geographical map of mountains and rivers. This geographical map of mountains and rivers is one meter square, with different colors, different symbols, and different lines marking terrain, countries, administrative regions, etc. on it.

This map is so exquisite, but the fly in the ointment is that there is such a line in the center of the top: "Anyang topographic map with a radius of ten thousand miles - the fourth printing of the third edition, priced at 1588 yuan."

Anyang currency, one tael of silver is one yuan, one yuan is one thousand cents, and one cent is one copper plate. One tael of gold is worth ten yuan.

Opening the map, Wang Chuan pointed to the line above, "This is Anyang. I used an airplane to take photos of all the terrain in a radius of ten thousand miles, and then proofread and printed it. There are even scales around it. This ability alone is beyond our ability to compare.

This map includes the terrain of Great Xia, Cai, most of Jin, part of Chen and Qi, and a small part of Zheng, which is enough for us to use. "

Kong Donglai was silent.

Wang Chuan picked up a charcoal pencil and drew the map according to the information, very carefully. After finishing the painting, he sighed, "The form of the north is like this, we have become the sandwich in the sandwich cake.

Anyang now has four counties, the east is close to the sea, and there are no enemies.

Tang State also owns four counties and wears the same trousers as Anyang.

Xiao Guo owns the land of six counties, and already has the qualifications to truly establish a country.

Only us, Guangling County and the current Nanyang County combined, have the size of three average counties; even if Songzhou County is included, it is only four counties in size. This is only a difference in area.

Let's talk about something else.

Needless to say, the situation of Anyang's industrial, commercial, and spiritual masters. We don't even have to think about Anyang being able to force Jin to surrender under continuous combat conditions.

Tang State, the current Tang State might not be strong yet, but we don't know how many tricks Li Yulong has hidden and how much support Anyang has given Tang State.

Xiao Guo, Xiao Liming has been in business for so many years and has a profound foundation. Xiao Liming was the first to imitate Anyang's industrial development model, and now Xiao Guo is able to produce its own munitions.

Look at us again, what do we have? "

what do we have what do we have what's... what's...

This voice echoed in Kong Donglai's heart over and over again. Thinking of Nanyang County where people's hearts are beginning to slacken, Nanyang County where soldiers' pensions cannot be paid, and Nanyang County where soldiers' weapons are rusted, Kong Donglai feels bitter.

Wang Chuan raised his voice slightly: "Now, among Guangling County, Nanyang County, and Songzhou County, our Guangling County is still relatively strong. Brother Kong, it's not that I have a thick skin, it's forced by the form. If possible, I would like to request that Nanyang County be merged into Guangling County and accept unified political and military deployment.

Of course, I will not treat the Kong family badly. "

Kong Donglai gritted his teeth... clenched his fist... the veins on his neck bulged, but finally he sat down on the chair in a slump, "I'll give Nanyang County to my brother."

After finishing speaking, Kong Dong looked at Wang Chuan and said nothing, the meaning was already obvious, I have already expressed it, and you should also express it.
