Chapter 514 Black Gunpowder
"Create French..."
Chu Tian took over the imperial treasure that Li Jie had brought with him.
【Name】: Create French style (Northern Song Dynasty)
[Grade]: Imperial Treasure
[Effect 1]: All-power civil buildings construction speed +5%, construction cost -5%, building durability cap +5%
[Effect 2]: Military building construction speed +20%, construction cost -10%, building durability cap +10%
[Description]: The book is 36 volumes, 357 articles, 3555 articles, the official architectural design and construction specification book of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Two very simple effects, but their effects are quite Mohist, without many fancy ingredients, and they are extremely practical.
If the construction expenditure of Chutian's forces (including the private sector) is 100 million taels of silver every year, then the construction cost will be -5%, which is equivalent to saving 5 million taels of silver every year.
Finance comes from increasing income and reducing expenditure, saving expenses, and it is also a way to increase fiscal revenue.
"Building French" increases the construction speed and durability limit of military fortifications, which is more practical in war. The fortress that originally took ten days to build can now be built in eight days, making it more sturdy.
The Mohist school should be regarded as the technology school in the world of "Lord". Science and technology are primary productive forces!
Among the hundreds of schools of thought, Chutian had a high degree of favorability towards the Mo family and the peasant family.
They are doers.
After Chutian accepted the "Building French Style" rudely, he looked at Li Jie's ability again.
According to Huaxia's classification of hundreds of schools of thought, Li Jie can be classified as a representative of Mohism.
Li Jie, a general in the Northern Song Dynasty, was in charge of the maintenance of palaces, castles, bridges, and boats, and he was also the author of "Building French Style".
【Name】: Li Jie
[Talent]: Special Talent (Legendary Civil Architect)
[Identity]: The Northern Song Dynasty will be the supervisor
[Commander]: 50 [Force]: 50 [Intelligence]: 80 [Politics]: 85 [Charm]: 80
[Characteristic 1]: Civil Expert (SS-level feature,
When personally presiding over the construction of a building, the construction time of the building is -20%, the construction cost is -20%, and the maximum durability of the building is +20%)
[Feature 2]: Will be a supervisor (S-level characteristic, craftsmen who follow Li Jie to build buildings can gain more experience, and it is easier to obtain the characteristics of civil engineering)
...
Li Jie's ability also shines in Chu Tian's eyes. To sum up briefly, this person builds buildings very fast, and secondly, the apprentices who follow him can grow up quickly.
As long as Li Jie is there, within three or five years, the Chutian forces can add a group of capable senior craftsmen.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian felt that Li Jie was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.
The Mo family boss is terrible.
I don't know what the bonus of the Mo family's patriarch will reach.
The arrival of Li Jie made up for the lack of Mojia talents in Jixia Academy.
Each additional Mohist representative can trigger the effect of the tenth-level construction of Jixia Academy, "Hundred Schools contend - Mohist" - the efficiency and cost of building cities, buildings, and siege equipment, weapons, and armor will increase.
"You go to work as a workman, and after you are familiar with the workman's situation, you will lead civil engineering."
Chutian intends to guide Li Jie to the Ministry of Industry.
If you are called king or emperor in the future, then you must consider turning the workers’ cadres into the ministries of labor, and the household cadres into the ministries of households…
These talents are all paving the way for the future.
"Here."
Li Jie looked like an honest man. Civil architects who work wholeheartedly are mostly low-key.
"Now there are people from Mohism, farmers, Legalists, Confucians, and soldiers..."
Chutian will look at the final feature reward next.
This is an SS-level feature "Four Great Inventions - Black Powder".
Chutian originally thought that this was a production feature, but he did not expect it to be a military feature...
Four great inventions of ancient China, papermaking, compass, gunpowder and printing.
Gunpowder mainly refers to black powder, the frequent use is military, and firecrackers...
【Name】: Black Powder (Four Inventions)
[Grade]: SS grade
【Origin】: It is said that the study of gunpowder began in ancient Taoist alchemy
[Effect]: The quality of black gunpowder increases, and the lethality of firearms of firearms is +30%.
A very simple feature, specially used to add firearms troops.
The firearms arms are very rare arms, the Chutian forces, only the "Yongle Shenji Camp" in the summer cool.
Chutian directly gave his eldest wife this feature to strengthen the ability of the Shenji Camp. After all, apart from her, there are no other firearms and arms, so they cannot play the corresponding role.
At present, Xia Liang has the firearm feature "three-stage attack" - the fire rate of firearm guns and arquebuses +25%, and the firearm feature "black gunpowder", firearm lethality +30%, then the Shenji Camp will become very terrifying 's troops.
The Shenji battalion is between the seventh and ninth ranks. The Shenji battalion equipped with arquebuses is the eighth-rank special unit.
Firearms have two advantages, one is armor piercing, lead bullets can penetrate most armors, and the other will cause the opponent's personnel and horses to be frightened, and then cause confusion.
After using this reward, Chutian has 308,000 points left.
When it comes to the Shenji Battalion of the firearms and arms, the arquebuses and black powder of the Chutian forces come from overseas trade.
If you can't be self-reliant, it will be a hidden danger sooner or later.
Chu Tian looked at the list of items that could be exchanged for points, and found that the items exchanged this time actually included the construction drawings of the arquebus workshop and the black powder workshop, which were only level 6 buildings.
However, these two blueprints are very rare. Chutian saw these two construction blueprints for the first time in the list of previous exchanges.
【Name】: Matchlock Workshop
[Effect]: Can produce arquebuses (the grade is platinum), only firearms can be used
[Basic output]: 100 pcs/month
[Building Reward]: Intermediate Arquebusier Craftsman × 2, Low-level Arquebusier Craftsman × 8
【Points required】: 100,000
The black powder workshop is similar to the arquebus workshop, which can produce a batch of black powder every month.
As a cold weapon-based game, “Lord” has strict control over firearms. In addition to balancing a few civilizations that lack heroes (such as the United States), other civilizations have a limited number of firearms available.
The arquebus workshop requires 100,000 points, and the black powder requires 100,000 points, a total of 200,000 points.
"It's really expensive..."
The points required for Chutian to see two Level 6 buildings are really expensive.
If you miss this opportunity, the next time you exchange items, I don't know if there will be these two blueprints. Moreover, the points required for each exchanged item may not be the same. The points required for the next redemption may be higher.
Among the servants of Chutian, there are actually a small group of Turkish musketeers and U.S. militiamen who can be equipped with arquebuses.
In order to be self-reliant, Chu Tian changed two drawings.
For the remaining points, Chu Tian exchanged a blueprint for the Songbu Human Armor (Platinum level) (which can recruit the seventh-order Song Chongbu for Mu Guiying) and a blueprint for the eighth-order infantry battalion (which can recruit the eighth-order heavy infantry Tiger Guard for Dian Wei). ).
"There are a lot of items that can be exchanged this time, and the points are really not enough..."
Chutian thought that 300,000 points were already a lot, but when they were actually redeemed, it was always not enough. After all, people were greedy, and Chutian was no exception.
Chutian gave the four blueprints to the craftsman or the armor workshop.
Li Jie, a civil engineer in the Northern Song Dynasty, can come in handy and let him supervise the construction of the arquebus workshop, the black powder workshop, and the eighth-level infantry battalion.
It takes a year or two to accumulate the inventory of firearms, and during this time it is necessary to purchase arquebuses from Tanegashima in Dongying.
"We're going to the Hebei battlefield."
After Chutian had dealt with all the rewards, he took a short rest and headed to Yecheng with a few generals who had returned from the battlefield of the National War.
At the same time, there were also generals Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, and the heavy cavalry of the 800 Beiwei Army who went to Yecheng at the same time.
This time, Chu Tian directly consumed tens of thousands of taels of silver, and sent the 800 heavy cavalry of the Beiwei Army, as well as the main force that survived the Battle of Jingkang, to Puyang, and then headed north.
In the barracks, 800 Beiwei sergeants stood, with an average level of 60, with a chilling air!
The chilling air shows that this Beiwei Army is an elite division!
[Army]: Back Wei Army
[Rank]: Eighth-order heavy cavalry
[Basic Attack Power]: 35 [Basic Defense Power]: 30 [Comprehensive Speed]: 13
[Skills]: Super heavy cavalry charge, advanced mounted archery, bloody battle (in melee combat, attack power +15%, morale +15%, block ability +15%)
[Characteristics]: All attacks are invincible (when Yue Fei/Yue Yun/Yang Zaixing is the main general, attack power +3, melee melee damage +10%)
【Military pay】: 18 taels/month
[Recruitment conditions]: At least one platinum-level heavy cavalry warhorse, at least two pack horses, platinum-level long knife, gold-level horn bow, gold-level cavalry crossbow...
The Beiwei Army's hand-to-hand combat ability is extremely strong.
With such a new force joining the Hebei battlefield, the results are unpredictable.
...
When Chutian was transferring troops, Zhao Long returned to Taiyuan. At this time, Yang Su, the first commander-in-chief of the Sui Dynasty, had arbitrarily commanded the combined forces of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Montenegro to move south.
"Yang Su really understood me, and let the infantry go south ahead of time. I just need to go on horseback to chase. This way, I can catch Chu Zimou by surprise."
After Zhao Long used the recruitment order, he immediately led the cavalry of Taiyuan County to chase Yang Su.
...
When Liu Bei returned to Handan, Wang Meng and Su Qin met.
"Unfortunately, Sun Bin and Tian Ji are not owned by me."
When Liu Bei saw Wang Meng and Su Qin and mentioned the loss of Sun Bin and Tian Ji, he couldn't help but regret.
Wang Meng said, "Don't worry about it, lord, we have a measure of progress and retreat. At this time, we should raise 100,000 troops to join Zhao Long and relieve the siege of Ye City."
"I have accumulated talents from Jizhou and Youzhou, and I should do something."
Liu Bei was in exile in Hebei for a few years, and he moved from Zhongshan to Youzhou, and then to Bohai County.
"Brother, this time we will not fail!"
Zhang Fei was carefree and had high fighting spirit.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others are gearing up for it. Next may be the decisive battle to decide the ownership of Hebei.
Wang Meng, Hu Luguang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals went south with troops recruited from Jizhou and Youzhou.
...
In Liaodong City, Mingguan ordered Sun Bin to be summoned, intending to make Sun Bin surrender. He traded with Jijie Lao Qin in private. In the end, in order to maintain the unbreakable alliance with Mingguan, Jijie Lao Qin gave Sun Bin to Mingguan, and Jijiu Lao Qin wanted to leave Tian Ji and three Qi Guomang generals.
Chang Yuchun came in with a strange look on his face: "My lord, Sun Bin is missing..."
Mingguan stood up, and his 1.9-meter body was even more burly than Chang Yuchun: "Didn't Sun Bin be brought to Liaodong by us?"
"The soldiers guarding Sun Bin said that Sun Bin managed to escape..."
"What is Sun Bin thinking? Where is he now?"
Mingguan's face was gloomy.
Sun Bin apparently managed to deceive the soldiers guarding him and disappeared.
On the outskirts of Ye City, this city is within easy reach, but the legion from the Central Plains has never intended to capture Ye City.
The defenders in the city were about to run out of food and grass, and Gao Jiong, Shen Pei, and Han Zhanhu stood on the city wall and looked at the army outside the city.
There were more and more troops outside the city, and the end could not be seen at a glance. Gao Jiong and Shen Pei found that the enemy troops surrounding Ye City were being mobilized.
"The lord and Yang Su led the troops south to support us. In this battle, Hebei will be settled in one battle. Only Liu Bei can't save us."
Gao Jiong put his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of Fukouxing.
Only Zhao Long has the ability to unravel the siege of Ye City.
"Call Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun to come and obey."
Xia Xian Liang followed Li Xiuning and Hua Mulan.
Zhao Yun and Chen Qingzhi in white robes got off their horses and asked Xia Xia Liang for their orders.
If Chutian is the lord, then Xia Tianliang can be called the mistress, and has the temporary command of the 400,000 troops (additionally added midway) that Chutian assembled in Hebei.
"The two of you, like this... The lord has agreed to deploy, but this battle may die."
Xia Xia Liang handed over important tasks to Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun.
Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun looked at each other and put their life and death aside: "I'm willing to go!"
Xia Xia Liang nodded: "If this battle is won, both of you can be promoted to generals of miscellaneous numbers."
"As ordered!"
Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun went down to make arrangements.
Xia Xia Liang summoned Cao Cao, Zhou Yafu, Dian Wei, Yu Chi Gong, and the flying general Li Guang, who had been transferred back from the south.
Xia Xia Liang said: "We will fight against Zhao Long's army in Fukouxing, and take the lead in defeating Zhao Long's army. As for Liu Bei, it will be intercepted by the lord."
Cao Cao was surprised: "Zhao Long and Yang Su are aggressive..."
Cao Cao thought that Zhao Long should be handed over to Chu Tian to deal with.
Xia Xia Liang replied: "The lord returned in a hurry, and you may not be familiar with our deployment. South of Zhanghe, you only need to defend, and Fukouxing needs to attack."
Cao Cao asked again, "Where is Wei Qing?"
"General Wei Qing, he is elsewhere at this time."
"..."
Cao Cao doubted whether he could block the army of Zhao Long and Yang Su.
If the generals led by Chu Tian are on the defensive and relying on Zhangshui, it is indeed easier to defend.
"Go down and prepare. The next day, we will go to Fukouxing to set up an array and confront Zhao Long head-on."
"Ding! You have obtained the SS-level characteristic - black powder."
After Xia Liang was ready to deploy, I suddenly received a notification from the system.
"Three combos plus black powder, two characteristics, this time I'm even more confident."
Xia Xia Liang led his own special army, the Shenji Battalion, and went to Fukouxing with an army of 200,000 to intercept Zhao Long.
An army of 100,000 guarded the Zhang River to block Liu Bei, and an army of 100,000 besieged Yecheng and guarded Liyang.

Comments may not be read, but you can make suggestions in the group calmly, most of them will consider it, and the group friends will understand.
A single chapter explains. But people who hate the author don't care at all, they just hate the author even more, which is interesting.
For the experience of most readers, no special explanation will be given in the future, because it is useless to explain after being preconceived.
Anyway, the author takes the blame, and the supporting roles not only have a little IQ, but also recruit talents and expand, must be suppressing the protagonist, right, right, must be right? (dog head saves life)
Save the manuscript to more than 100,000 and then break out.
After careful calculation, if this paragraph is less than 200, it will not be included in the charge.
