These simple plate armors developed from the new technology of the Ming Dynasty not only have excellent defensive properties.

It was also light and flexible, and was welcomed by many soldiers in Chen and Han's army.

The new plate armor is light, thin and breathable, and is most suitable for use in Yunnan and Nanzhong areas, and is no longer afraid of the local hot climate.

"Now Zhu Yuanzhang not only has elite soldiers and generals, but also so many skilled craftsmen. I, a big man, must not lose these weapons." Chen Youliang frowned and said.

However, in order to buy medicinal materials, they also needed to buy weapons, which led to Chen Han's regime being extremely short of money.

How to get enough money to buy weapons, armor and medicines smuggled from the Ming Dynasty?

Already a very difficult problem.

In Chen Youliang's territory, Sichuan, Yunnan and parts of northern Myanmar, although they are considered good places with good weather conditions, they have not fully recovered due to the invasion and plunder of the Mongols decades ago.

It is still very difficult to raise so much money to purchase and smuggle Ming weapons and medicines.

At this time, Zou Pusheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, not long ago, I read the official documents left by Dali and found that there are many copper mines in the local area! However, due to lack of manpower, the output of the copper mines has not increased. If we can

If the Burmese people are captured as slaves to mine copper mines, wouldn't there be inexhaustible money? At that time, our military strength will not only consolidate Sichuan and Yunnan, but also attack the Ming army's Guizhou, Hubei, etc. eastwards.

Land, capture some craftsmen and come back to make new armor and stomach weapons yourself."

Zou Pusheng's words made Chen Youliang immediately happy.

After driving away Duan Gong, Chen Youliang took complete control of Yunnan.

Moreover, the local barbarian leader Manghei and others in Myanmar have also surrendered to Chen Youliang.

He was now worried about how to deal with the surrendered Burmese people. After hearing Zou Pusheng's suggestion, he immediately felt enlightened.

If only the labor of the Burmese people could be used to mine the copper mines in Yunnan!

Then the Chen-Han regime will be able to truly enrich the country and strengthen the army!

"Great! Let's do it then!" Chen Youliang nodded and said.

"Those Burmese barbarians are useless if they remain under my command. They are useless in fighting, and they don't know how to farm. They are just a bunch of drunkards!" Chen Youren said beside him.

Soon, Chen Youliang agreed to Zou Pusheng's suggestion. He appointed Chen Youren as Pingzhang of Nanzhong Province, with overall responsibility for hunting down the indigenous savages of various tribes in Yunnan and Myanmar.

The Chen-Han army hunted Burmese people as laborers and began vigorously mining copper mines in Yunnan.

Chen Youren had no sympathy for these local aborigines.

He ordered his Chen and Han soldiers to take tough measures and captured a large number of young men and women into the mines to serve as slave labor.

In just three months, most tribes in northern Myanmar lost most of their young adults.

The Burmese native king Manghei, who originally surrendered to the Chen and Han regime, was also ordered to be executed by Chen Youliang in order to reduce the possibility of the Burmese people uniting to rebel.

This series of measures taken by Chen Youliang has greatly increased the output of copper mines in Yunnan.

However, it also caused the various tribes of Myanmar in the south-central region to rebel again.

They used the dense forest to start fighting against the troops of the Chen Han regime.

Chen Youliang, who had a strong army and strong horses, did not care about the rebellion of these Burmese indigenous people.

The entire Chen and Han army resolutely carried out Chen Youliang's tough tactics.

All Burmese tribes that have resistance have the same name.

Ming Dynasty Nanjing, Yingtian.

In a large manor outside the city, Zhu Han was watching a group of craftsmen operating a large number of transparent glass instruments.

Under the boiling water and the hot fire, some colorful liquids boiled among these glass instruments.

The entire manor exuded a strong aroma of alcohol and drugs.

This is the new drug Zhu Han is testing!

Zhu Han originally used the prescription obtained by signing in to the system to create Zhuge Xingjun Powder, which is very effective.

However, Ming army soldiers from various places reported that it was still inconvenient to carry Zhuge Marching Powder during the march.

Moreover, in a humid environment, this medicinal powder is extremely susceptible to deterioration due to the influence of humid weather.

So Zhu Han used his memory to make a brand new medicine.

In order to produce this medicine, Zhu Han not only mobilized the best craftsmen from Yingtian Mansion.

Moreover, many famous Chinese medicine practitioners from the entire Jiangnan region were also summoned.

Now this manor is Zhu Han's research and development base for testing new drugs.

After about an hour, a doctor excitedly walked up to Zhu Han holding a small transparent glass bowl in his hand.

"Your Royal Highness! It's done! It's done!"

The medicine in this small glass bowl is like a piece of crystal clear jelly, exuding a tangy aroma, very refreshing!

"Taiwan Balm! It's finally made. Your Highness, please take a look!"

This imperial physician is called Hu Wenhu, he said excitedly.

This Hu Wenhu was from a famous family of traditional Chinese medicine in Fujian. Because of his superb medical skills, he was recruited as an imperial physician by the Ming Dynasty.

Just in time to join Zhu Han's new drug research and development base, Zhu Han took the glass cup, put the ointment inside to his nose and smelled it carefully. A refreshing breath instantly penetrated into the nasal cavity, making Zhu Han

Han's mood suddenly improved.

Zhu Han smiled and said, "Not bad! Not bad! This is exactly the cooling oil I want."

This kind of medicine is not a rarity for modern people. It is the cooling oil that people in later generations are very familiar with. It is a paste-like cooling oil in a small iron box the size of a finger.

It is also known as tiger balm, a paste made from menthol, camphor, cinnamon oil, eucalyptus oil and other drugs, plus paraffin.

Its inventor was a Fujianese in the late Qing Dynasty. Because many people went to Southeast Asia at that time and encountered hot weather and infestation by mosquitoes and poisonous ants, this Chinese herbal medicine came into being.

It was a great success among the people in Southeast Asia and was quickly sold back to China.

Nowadays, the Ming army is fighting in hot and humid areas in Guizhou, Guangxi and other places, and is in great need of cooling oil, a medicine that is effective and easy to carry.

So after making this snake oil.

Zhu Han knew that Ming soldiers would suffer fewer unnecessary injuries in the future.

"Great! This ten thousand gold oil level is ready for large-scale production. One hundred thousand pieces will be made immediately and sent to Lingnan and Guizhou for the soldiers to try it out. It is already May and June, and in two or three months, the southern region will

The weather is still very hot and humid, so the cooling oil will definitely be very popular among the soldiers," Zhu Han said.

At this time, the imperial doctor Hu Wenhu looked troubled. He said to Zhu Han: "Your Highness, although the preparation of this cooling oil is not very complicated, many of the medicinal materials required were paid tribute by the vassal states of Nanyang. We here have these

We don’t have much medicine in stock, so if we equip the army on a large scale, it would not only be a huge expense, but the raw materials would also be insufficient.”

Hu Wenhu's words immediately reminded Zhu Han.

Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's God's will, but Hu Wenhu, the imperial physician of the Ming Dynasty, has the same name as the man who invented cooling oil in history.

Zhu Han also paid special attention to his words.

There are really many types of Nanyang medicinal materials that need to be used here.

If this is the case, it may not be enough to rely solely on tribute from small Southeast Asian countries.

Zhu Han thought for a while and said: "Let's see. I plan to set up a special business and go to Nanyang to purchase the needed medicinal materials. All the finished Tiger Balm oil will be supplied to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at the cost price."

Cooling oil is a universal medicine that can cure diseases and strengthen the body in hot and humid places. Zhuge Xingjun, which Zhu Han made before, has been widely promoted in Lingnan, Guizhou and other places, and is regarded as a miracle medicine by the locals.

Moreover, Zhu Han had long heard that many of Zhuge's troops had entered Chen Han's army through smuggling channels.

However, these are all situations that Zhu Han acquiesced to.

The price difference earned can reach dozens of times!

Let Zhu Han take this opportunity to make a lot of money from Chen Youliang.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is now united. If it really wants to crack down on smuggling, there is no way that a bunch of scattered Zhuge troops will be transferred to Chen Youliang's army.

All this is within Zhu Han's plan.

With the cooling oil, Ming Dynasty will completely replace the previous Zhuge Xingjun Powder.

Nowadays, cooling oil requires a lot of Nanyang medicinal materials, and the supply will definitely not be sufficient, so priority must be given to supplying it to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

So Zhu Han has decided to strictly control this cooling oil!

Prevent them from flowing into Chen Youliang's hands through private channels.

After making arrangements for Qingliang Oil Production, Zhu Han originally planned to return to the city, but there was still a lot of official business that needed to be handled by himself.

Hu Wenhu, who was standing next to him, said to Zhu Han: "His Highness came just in time. Yesterday, Xiaguan and others happened to experiment and made the toilet water that His Highness mentioned before! I wonder if Your Highness is free to test the results of Xiaguan and others?

"

"What? You made toilet water so quickly?"
