Chapter 986

Qingzhou.

After the high price purchase of Siberian fur in the newspaper caused a sensation, "great, we've been waiting for this day for a long time. How arrogant the Golden Horde was and how it bullied us, now it's time to revenge."

In the restaurant, a middle-aged man with a short coat on his upper body and trousers on his lower body cheered loudly after reading the newspaper.

There were three people at the same table with him. They were all wearing the same gray clothes and of different ages.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, one of the other three young men snatched the newspaper quickly. After reading the article written by the Emperor himself, he immediately got excited.

"Well, if it wasn't for my poor eyesight, I would be able to fight barbarians as a soldier now."

The young man helped his eyes. When he was 16 years old, he suddenly found that he was seeing things in the distance vaguely, so his family took him to seek medical advice for several years, but there was no way.

It was not until the great development of glass industry in Qingzhou and the emergence of glasses that he understood what myopia was. At this time, he was rescued. Although it was not very comfortable to wear his eyes, he could always see things clearly.

But the only regret is that I can't join the army because of my eyesight.

"It's a pity that we can't be a soldier, but we can't be loyal to the emperor only by being a soldier. We work hard in the machinery factory, too. The sledge and the steam engine locomotive all have our credit, don't we? "The middle-aged man said in a loud voice.

The other two laughed. One of them touched his clothes and said, "no, I'm not. Now I'm going out in the clothes issued by the machinery factory, and many matchmakers are going to tell me! It can be seen that our machinery factory is the first. "

after that, the four burst into laughter.

"Your machinery factory is powerful, and our rubber factory is not bad. Without our tires, can you make bicycles and tricycles?"

"That's true. Didn't our iron and steel plant assemble machinery with wood for you?"

"Our chemical plant doesn't agree! “

“……”

In the tavern, there are workers from other factories in twos and threes. Now with the normalization of factories, workers in each factory are wearing special work clothes. It's easy to distinguish which factory they come from.

The shopkeeper on the counter looks at these workers with a smile. His restaurant is relatively close to the industrial area because of its large quantity and cheap food and its distance from the workshop area.

There are always a large number of workers coming here to eat at noon every day.

The salary of these workers is not low every month, and there are at least 30 silver dragons every month. They live a very nourishing life. It's normal to drink some wine and eat some vegetables.

It is precisely because of these rich workers that his tavern can bring him 20 Golden Dragon's income every month.

He is also used to the competition among these workers. After all, there are many factories here, and the workers in each factory are very proud.

When the crowd was making a lot of noise, suddenly the sound of horse's hooves came from the road outside the tavern. When they looked out, they saw a large number of cavalry in silver breastplates passing by. One of the leading generals was wearing a red cape and a fierce breath.

”This is Qi Guangyi, commander of the cavalry corps, right? "A worker recognized the leading general.

"It seems that there will be a war this time. We have to rely on cavalry to deal with the barbarians. These infantry have short legs and can't catch up with four legged horses."

Another worker said.

Outside the restaurant, Qi Guangyi is also looking at the industrial zone and the workers along the road. Since he was stationed in Raozhou, he hasn't come back for a year. This time, there are more changes in Qingzhou.

On his way back, he basically walked on the wide cement road. In recent years, the imperial court has not stopped building roads, and the road network of Qingzhou Prefecture is basically formed.

With the improvement of the road, there are more and more carriages on the road. They are all merchants who transport goods to the destination through carriages. Occasionally, he can see some people riding bicycles.

In addition, the most obvious is the clothes of the people. Although many people are still wearing patched clothes, more people are wearing clean and beautiful clothes.

While enjoying the prosperity, Qi Guangyi urged his horses to go to Qingzhou City. This time, he was ordered to return to Korea.

Starting from Raozhou, he took a steam locomotive to Cangzhou. However, the steam locomotive broke down and needed to be repaired. In order to be in a hurry, he rode directly along the post station to Qingzhou.

After entering the city, Qi Guangyi's eyes contracted again. Compared with a year ago, there are more and more cyclists in Qingzhou, almost all over the streets.

Once again, feeling the prosperity of Qingzhou industry, he did not dare to delay any longer and went directly to the palace.

In the imperial library, Xiao Ming is already waiting for Qi Guangyi.

The northern crusade against the barbarians is coming. Niu Zhen and Luo Quan have gathered 80000 infantry, and Qi Guangyi's 60000 cavalry will attack the Golden Horde with 140000 troops.

However, in this battle, he believed that cavalry still had to play an important role. Although his Chinese rifle and close guard artillery were excellent enough, without the mobile advantage of cavalry in the grassland, these two legged infantry could not catch up with the barbarian cavalry.Because of this, he specially called Qi Guangyi over this time.

In fact, the northern expedition was not because of the wishes of the barbarians Niu Zhen and Luo Quan, but because of a war he had planned for a long time. Otherwise, he would be too playful about the war.

In order to weaken the threat from the north, he needs to take the initiative to attack. A tsarist Russia is enough for him to have a headache. Now, coupled with a Golden Horde, the north of Dayu can not be stable. The most important point is that these threats are close at hand, not as far away as Britain and France.

"Long live my emperor. I will see Qi Guangyi at the end."

See Xiao Ming, Qi Guangyi said.

Standing up from his chair, Xiao Ming walked up to Qi Guangyi and gave him a free hand. "This time I called you from thousands of miles away to Qingzhou for the next northern expedition. But before the northern expedition, I have a weapon that belongs to cavalry. I think you will like it very much."

"Weapons! "Qi Guangyi's eyes narrowed when he heard the speech. Now his people are calling for Chinese style rifles.

This time, he just wanted to mention it to the court.

"Exactly." At this time, Xiao Ming picked up a rifle with a shorter barrel from the table and said, "this is the horse gun made by the military factory based on Han style rifles!" www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
