Su Lu didn't pay much attention to the manufacture of new birds.
Now the Han army is at a stalemate with the West Thai coalition army, and the Han Army has suffered losses repeatedly. If it loses its array card, the current Han army is not the opponent of the West Thai coalition army at all.
The only thing we can rely on is the catapult, all kinds of catapults.
At Su Lu's request, the Ordnance Department has manufactured various types of crossbows, including multi port rapid fire type, larger caliber long-range type and portable single soldier portable type. Now with these large and small crossbows, the Han army can block coalition birds without array card support.
After shooting down more than a dozen birds several times, the number of birds appeared less and less.
However, the Han Army did not dare to rush out of the city to attack. After the catapult left the city, it lost the cover of Jiancheng and was easy to be destroyed by the coalition army.
The last time Hua Xun set up a military order to leave the city, twenty crossbows were damaged in World War I, putting the guards at the head of the city in danger. It was su Lu who spent the crisis with a crossbow artillery card.
Since then, no one in the Han Army has proposed to go out of the city to kill the enemy.
The forbidden guard camp in front has laid a foundation and established a secret stronghold in Gangcha county. With Fubo and a group of Qin soldiers, they quickly won the help of the local people, became active everywhere, destroyed the Tibetans' minerals and secretly transported them back to build the minerals for flying birds.
The first flying bird with new parts has been built by the Ordnance Department, but the effect is not satisfactory. The flying speed of the flying bird is not fast enough, not to mention, even the altitude is limited.
Su Yun was so angry about this that he wudani was severely reprimanded by a group of officials.
Su Lu is also very helpless about this. After all, birds are epoch-making products containing a lot of technology. It is good for individuals in the Han country to draw gourds and ladles. If they want to completely imitate the same birds, they need to know more technology.
"Since the lecture hall, we have mobilized more talents to the Ordnance Department for the imitation of new birds."
Su Lu wrote to Li Qing and asked him to send more talents to participate in the improvement of birds. After all, this is a big project.
With more and more students graduating from the lecture hall, a group of young generals have sprung up in the South and North, and the reputation of the lecture hall has become more and more famous. All departments and guards have begun to pay attention to the students of the lecture hall. Every year, they reach out to the lecture hall and ask for the students who are about to graduate in advance.
If Su Lu doesn't write to Li Qing, he won't be able to come to the martial arts school to learn soldiers unless he comes to the martial arts school himself.
With Li Qing's reply, there is also a thick volume.
"What is the situation with this volume?"
Su Lu asked Lao Chang, who was in charge of delivering the letter. He hadn't seen him for more than a year. Lao Chang became much older and lived up to the Yingwu of Xuanfu in the north.
Lao Chang said with a smile, "this is a treaty signed between Qi and the British allied forces. Qi fought on many fronts, was defeated by the British, and the port city was broken in several places. Not to mention, even the important town of infantry, Mashan, was also captured. The court of Qi surrendered and signed such a treaty with the Allied forces gathered by the British."
Lao Chang's face is full of disdain. The emperor of the state of Qi is young. The Empress Dowager in power is an old demon woman. She always looks like an old mother for the state of Qi according to her own heart. Well, she was taught by the English people.
Su Lu understood that this was the tribute of defeat.
After opening the treaty, Su Lu looked at it again and frowned.
"After the defeat of the state of Qi, how can the Liangjiang area be assigned to the British as the territory of the British?"
The Liangjiang area is now under the control of the Han state, and the Qi people have admitted that the Han state's control of the Liangjiang area has also withdrawn government and county officials and troops north of Luojiang. Now they want to deny it.
Lao Chang also said positively: "this is the reason why your majesty sent me here. The Qi people tore up the Luojiang treaty, which is a naked provocation to China's Han Dynasty. Your majesty intends to let the Luojiang Navy go south and attack the Qi barracks on the South Bank of Luojiang, so as to teach the Qi people a lesson."
Su Lu shook his head and thought about the Qi intelligence sent by Dingxiang Wei.
Under the chairmanship of pingqi, the state of Qi was infiltrated into a sieve by the Ding Wei. From top to bottom, the people in power only knew about corruption FUB à I, the political situation of local governments and counties was corrupted, and the discipline of the garrison was relaxed. If they could pull out and collapse in a war, they could be called a strong army in the state of Qi.
Although the Empress Dowager of the state of Qi is a bastard, she is not stupid. Since she signed the Luojiang treaty, she is absolutely unwilling to provoke the strong enemy of the north, the Han state, when she is newly defeated by the British.
"These two rivers are not necessarily added by the people of Qi. What do you say about pingqi? The Mashan treaty has been signed. There should be news from him."
Lao Chang nodded, accepted a secret letter from the waiter, handed it to Su Lu and said.
"This is the information sent back by the spies of Dingwei and Fu in the state of Qi. For Liangjiang area, Qi people mentioned the problem of ownership, but the British insisted on adding it. Qi people had no choice but to add it here."
"But I often don't believe that Qi people are not fools. It's not a bad thing for them to provoke a war between the British and us with the help of the ownership of Liangjiang region."
Su Lu couldn't help laughing. Sometimes, for those backward authorities blindfolded by lard, they were really afraid to make trouble. They would rather sell their own national interests than annoy the enemy.
It's better to be friends than domestic slaves. The old witch of Qi is not something with a brain.
"I'm not sure. You often have short knowledge and don't know the shameless degree of people. Those people in the state of Qi really don't have to be able to do such a thing."
"Send a letter to pingqi, asking him to inform the Luojiang Navy and the Liangjiang governor's office, strictly guard against threats from the open sea, deploy new crossbows at all ports of Luojiang, stockpile ordnance, reorganize and train the troops, and strictly prevent the attacks of the British on the ports along Luojiang."
Old Chang sat up straight when he heard the speech: "Lord, how dare the British attack us?"
Su Lu looked at the treaty in his hand and said without raising his head: "since the British dare to want the Liangjiang region, they are naturally mentally prepared. It's not the first time we have fought with the British. They must have a spectrum in mind about our military strength. We can't take it lightly."
Lao Chang nodded. If the British really want the Liangjiang area, they must be careful of the threat from the sea. After all, most of the country of Qi has Ding Wei spies. Attacks from the road are easy to be detected. Only this sea is completely blind.
"Then I'll go back to Beijing and report back to your majesty. Please send important officials to preside over the defense of the two rivers."
Su Lu nodded. "We should consider the affairs of the two rivers with the worst plan. All ports must do a good job in defense, especially the camp of the Luojiang Navy. We must deploy more new catapults to prevent the sneak attack of the British."
Old Chang smelled that his face became more cautious, hugged Su Lu, turned around and stepped out of the nave.
Dong Ling asked: "Lord, how dare the British attack our Liangjiang area?"
Su Lu glanced at Dong Ling, pointed to the book in her hand and said, "the Taixi people have new birds, and the British are not sure what new weapons they will have, so that they have the confidence to fight with us."
