Chapter 338: Sadomasochistic love for your sister (forty-three)
In addition to improving iron smelting, forging and other technologies, Gu Qingcheng is also particularly interested in reclamation and farming.
Although Gu Qingcheng did not obtain specific and detailed modern farming techniques, he would always have some "common sense" after staying in the small world for so long.
For example, raising seedlings.
Another example is fertilizing.
As for how to do it specifically, experienced farmers have to experiment again and again.
All Gu Qingcheng had to do was provide an "inspiration" and provide sufficient conditions.
Improve the status of craftsmen (farmers) and give them enough respect. Gu Qingcheng will reward them every time they make any technological inventions.
Another point is that Gu Qingcheng even set up official positions for craftsmen (farmers) and had related promotion channels!
In Gu Qingcheng's Beicheng, he really achieved "recruiting talents in an eclectic way".
Regardless of gender, the general who leads the troops in battle is a woman;
There is no age limit, whether you are old or young, as long as you have the ability, you can be reused;
Regardless of status, even if you are just a blacksmith, as long as you are good enough and innovative, you can become an official.
... Gu Qingcheng's measures made Beicheng prosperous quickly.
Originally there were only a few young people left here, but with room for survival and even development, the surrounding people began to gather here.
With more people, Beicheng has vitality and can provide more and better opportunities.
And with people, Gu Qingcheng would have sufficient sources of soldiers, so he could continue to protect the city and expand his territory.
Beicheng's territory is expanding outward little by little, which increases living space and jobs...
Beicheng has entered a very virtuous cycle.
In less than half a year, Gu Qingcheng already had 10,000 elite soldiers under his command.
As for Beicheng, it has transformed from a dilapidated and desolate border town into an important and prosperous town with a high city and a deep pool, strong soldiers and horses.
Standing on the city gate tower, you can see the fields cultivated by the common people, and you can also see the military camps scattered around the periphery.
The border lines with Xirong and Yu Dynasty were also gradually advancing towards each other under Gu Qingcheng's secret expansion.
Gu Qingcheng's territory, if simply calculated in terms of area, has already exceeded Xizhou!
The small group of cavalry that Xirong was best at had already been eaten by Gu Qingcheng one by one.
Unless they want to engage in a large-scale battle, the Xirong cavalry will no longer dare to dispatch easily.
It cannot be said that Xirong was afraid of being beaten, but they did not dare to plunder the border towns of Qing Dynasty at will.
The "middle zone" between Xirong and Qing Dynasty was also compressed little by little under Gu Qingcheng's advancement, and began to push deeper into the desert and grassland.
Xirong;... Ma Dan, stop pushing in, the space for us to guerrilla is getting smaller and smaller.
If you dare to act again, labor and management will dispatch an army!
However, General Huo has already been watching with eager eyes:... dispatch the army? OK! I am worried that I can't find your main force.
If you dare to send out a large army, I will directly kill you and maim you.
In fact, General Huo had already been inspired by Gu Qingcheng's "Sparrow War".
He also asked the nephews of the Huo family to lead small groups of cavalry along the northwest line to find small groups of cavalry and annihilate them.
Xirong was beaten so "painfully" because of General Huo's all-out attack.
Otherwise, just Beicheng and Gu Qingcheng's first few hundred people would not be enough.
Many branches of Xirong have been chopped off, leaving only the trunk.
Both the Xirong leader and General Huo knew that a war between the two sides was imminent.
Gu Qingcheng, who started all this, clapped his hands and ignored it.
Ahem, such a war is not something she, a prince with only 10,000 troops, can take part in.
She began to turn her head and repeated her old tricks on the border with the Yu Dynasty.
It was still a small group of cavalry, harassing by sparrows, swallowing up the small forces scattered on the border of Yu Chao little by little.
Gu Qingcheng's timing was very good (Gu Qingcheng: Thank you for the 'intelligence' provided by Huoshui). The Qing Dynasty began to use troops against the Feng Dynasty, and the Yu Dynasty was attracted by the battle between Qing and Feng.
The capital of Yu Dynasty did not pay too much attention to Gu Qingcheng's small actions on the border.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I was not humiliated by being ignored, but was extremely excited.
It's better not to be noticed, so that she can develop as obscenely as she can.
Another half year passed, and Gu Qingcheng advanced northward little by little.
The number of men under her command reached 20,000.
The key is that her workshop in Beicheng actually developed black powder.
There was also a bumper harvest of grain in Beicheng.
Gu Qingcheng had sharp weapons in his hands, sufficient food and pay, and his soldiers had already been trained.
They no longer feared or flinched like before when facing the superior's strong cavalry of the Yu Dynasty.
"Hmph! They all carry one head on two shoulders. These northern barbarians don't have an extra head than us, so they're afraid of a ball!"
"That's right! The labor and management swung it with a knife, and their heads were still rolling."
"...There is also a small porcelain bottle issued by the Ordnance Department. It is really useful. If you throw it out, you can restrain the fierce cavalry of the Yu Dynasty."
The soldiers were talking a lot, and their confidence was even stronger.
The most powerful thing about the Yu Dynasty, and what was most feared by the surrounding countries and tribes, was his iron cavalry.
However, Gu Qingcheng first adopted the tactics of using the large to swallow up the small and using the strong to attack the weak, so that his soldiers could gradually reduce their fear and increase their confidence.
Then there was a simple version of the grenade, which was used to break the mighty momentum of the Yu Chao cavalry.
Thermal weapons are definitely a surefire weapon against cavalry.
Perhaps the black gunpowder developed by Gu Qingcheng's craftsmen had too many weaknesses, but in the age of cold weapons, it could still work wonders.
When the news reached the capital of the Yu Dynasty and Emperor Yu finally knew that there was such a terrifying force on his border, Gu Qingcheng already had 30,000 elite soldiers.
Craftsmen have also perfected the small porcelain vase.
As for Emperor Qing, although he did not march straight into the capital of Feng Dynasty, he captured several cities in Feng Dynasty one after another.
Yu Chao: ...I feel like I have been deceived!
Qing Dynasty unknowingly not only ate up part of Feng Dynasty's territory, but also stabbed Labor and Capital in the back!
Can't bear it!
The cliff is unbearable!
Gu Qingcheng: ...If you don’t want to tolerate it, then fight!
After growing up for so long, Gu Qingcheng is no longer the weak prince he was when he first left the capital.
Ahem, okay, the Ninth Prince himself is still unable to mount the horse, so the battle will be a big deal.
But people know people well, use them well, and are good at strategies.
With her strategizing at the rear, the male and female generals under her were expanding wildly outside.
Even ordinary soldiers are not afraid of death.
Even if they were facing the cavalry of the Yu Dynasty, they were not afraid of the cavalry myth of this era.
From the generals to the soldiers, Gu Qingcheng's army was extremely convinced of the Ninth Prince.
She has become the soul of this army.
As long as Gu Qingcheng gives an order, even if the enemy is facing the terrifying Yu Chao cavalry, the army will roar and charge upward.
In addition to strong military morale and self-confidence, Gu Qingcheng also provided the best logistical support——
If you want armor, have the best armor;
We need weapons and the sharpest swords and arrows;
If you need food and salary, it is extremely abundant.
If you are injured, you will be rescued by emergency personnel and will receive follow-up treatment.
If he is unfortunately killed in battle, there will be enough pension for his family to live safely for a lifetime.
It can be said that no matter whether you are alive or dead, as long as you are loyal to the Ninth Prince, you will get the best treatment.
Ordinary soldiers cannot say the words "A soldier will die for his confidant", but the principle is the same.
"A cheap life, sold to the Ninth Prince, it's worth it!"
As for those N generations who have become leading commanders, they have personally witnessed the rise of Beicheng, and they increasingly feel that they have made the right bet.
The Ninth Prince is not a mortal!
One day he will -
For a bright future and for the title that can be passed down to our descendants, we fight hard!
An army, from generals to ordinary soldiers, are all fierce and fearless.
How terrifying is its combat power?
Not to mention, their equipment is also top-notch.
He was almost armed to the teeth, with an "illegal" small porcelain bottle in his hand!
Therefore, when Emperor Yu sent a regular army of 30,000 men to conquer Gu Qingcheng, the usually invincible cavalry of the Yu Dynasty were defeated by Gu Qingcheng.
Emperor Yu & Emperor Qing;…
The former is full of shit and panic;
The latter is full of surprises.
"Haha! Okay! Okay!"
Emperor Qing laughed heartily in Concubine Dong's palace.
He was full of pride, "As expected of my son! Haha, even if I can't go to the battlefield, I can still find a good daughter-in-law who is good at fighting!"
have to!
Emperor Qing misunderstood.
He thought that the success Gu Qingcheng's army could achieve was all due to Huo Wuniang.
Concubine Dong Guifei "coughed every day", pressed her mouth with a handkerchief, and said timidly: "It's His Majesty's grace that Dong Lang is able to marry Huo!"
"You have a keen eye and know that Mr. Huo is a good person. You also feel sorry for Dong Lang, so you betrothed the best Mr. Huo to Dong Lang!"
The words were spoken with sincerity and sincerity.
Emperor Qing felt quite comfortable being flattered by such flattery.
"Jiaojiao, you really understand me best."
Emperor Qing looked at Concubine Dong Gui affectionately.
This is the woman he loves most.
Love the house and the bird, Donglang is his favorite son.
In the past, Aiko was just a cover.
However, if you tell too many lies, you will start to believe them.
Emperor Qing was a little more sincere towards the Ninth Prince.
Now, the Ninth Prince has made great achievements and has become a great son who makes Emperor Qing proud.
Emperor Qing seemed to approve of it more.
Concubine Dong Guifei was in poor health and was sick all year round.
But she is also the most reasonable and never takes pride in being favored.
Unlike the domineering Empress Yuan, and unlike those low-level palace maids who just gave birth to a prince, each and every one of them forgot their identity.
And his biological mother, Queen Mother Yuan, also kept forcing him to appoint a crown prince.
Set up a leg!
How could Emperor Qing make a baby who had not yet been weaned and whose biological mother was so humble, allow him to be his heir?
But he wanted to conquer the south, and the rear area in the north needed to be stabilized.
Emperor Qing was already ready to bow to the Yuan family again.
At this time, my great son became successful and actually defeated the Yu Chao cavalry!
