"Ice cube, what is that?" At this time, everyone was nervously looking at the white line that was approaching in the distance.

"Run." Just when Qi Jun waited and watched. The Zhao Jun position first suffered a severe panic.

Lingxun carries a large amount of ice, because the upstream ice cannot melt, and the downstream ice squeezes toward the downstream in a concentrated manner. This has caused the downstream ice to expand across the strait without being able to dredge. And the positions of the two armies. Just within the scope of expansion.

"Run." The Zhao Jun soldiers resolutely abandon their positions, without rushing to a far place. The soldiers of the Qi Army just watched Zhao Jun's actions.

"Boom boom. Boom boom." Until Ling Xun slowly approached with a huge ice cube. The soldiers of the Qi army realized the danger.

"Run." Soldiers of Qi Jun and Zhao Jun exclaimed loudly, and everyone desperately ran to the shore farther. At this time, the ice cube also quickly approached Qi Jun's position.

The huge ice block involved some Qi army soldiers who had no time to escape. The frame of the bridge just built on the shore was swept away by ice. The timber piled up not far from the shore was also washed away.

Many people watched this scene with pale faces. Soldiers of the two armies did not enter the bunker. Both sides did not choose to shoot again at this time. Soldiers on both sides were shocked by the sudden scene.

Although human warfare is fierce, it is in the face of the power of nature. Human power sometimes seems so small. The arrival of Ling Xun made all people feel the power of nature. Under such circumstances, human beings naturally stopped the war.

Such things are not uncommon, and there were two world wars back then. The Allied and Axis forces fought fiercely under Mount Vesuvius in Italy. Just when the soldiers on both sides were fighting each other desperately. The volcano erupted unexpectedly. Soldiers on both sides immediately stopped fighting. And watched each other this magnificent natural wonder. same. Such a scene. It happened naturally on the heads of soldiers on both sides. Soldiers on both sides are very clear. It is very unwise for them to go to war at this time.

The arrival of Ling Xun was very beneficial to Zhao Jun, but to Qi Jun it was disastrous. Zhao Jun can use Lingxun to hinder Qi Jun's plan and the world to build a bridge to return to the other side. As for the Qi army, morale dropped to an unprecedented low.

"This is God's refusal to let us return." A soldier said with a sad face.

Although the other soldiers did not show it, they knew it in their hearts. Their way home will be delayed. Their mood was once again occupied by despair.

The most frightening thing about people is that they have hope. With things of hope, people will burst out unprecedented potential, but the most frustrating thing is that the most promising things suddenly turn into despair. Then the human heart will fall to its lowest point. That's how my heart feels ashamed.

"I'm afraid we have no hope of returning to Qi." A Qi soldier said at this time. The dumb look didn't have any spot of light. What they saw in their eyes was not the huge ice cubes, but the future of the black hole.

The situation on the front line has further aggravated the aligning country. And in the back of Qi State. Qi State is generating huge new factors of impetus for change.

"Ding ding ding ding ding." In an ordinary city in Qi country. A handmade blacksmith shop is busy. The blacksmiths were naked, beating a large iron plate under the hot flames. They used the method of striking to make the iron plate into a thin iron plate, and then made it into barrels and other parts.

"How about our output?" a Qi official asked.

"In one month, we can produce more than two hundred muskets." said a dirty craftsman leader.

"More than two hundred muskets a month. Too few." The official said back. But seeing the look of the dirty boss, he was reluctant to speak.

"Too little. To speed up the pace, at least more than 300 a month." The official said.

"More than three hundred. More than ten will be built within this day." The craftsman calculated.

"I don't care about these." The official said arrogantly.

"This." The craftsman said embarrassedly. Currently, his smithy has fewer than ten people. These ten people not only have young and middle-aged laborers, but also women and children. They also participated in the production and processing of weapons.

This official is the local official who manages weapons. The large-scale use of coal and iron ore, especially after the increase of the furnace temperature by coal, has given a brand new development to the iron smelting industry. In terms of weapons. Qi Guo himself imitated Qin's flintlock. But this old rifle is of no use. Because, in terms of range and power, it is far smaller than the current mainstream equipment. The shooting range of the trap rifle. The valve rifle uses fixed-load bullets. This kind of bullet requires specialized equipment to produce. The same kind of bullets can also be made by hand, but the cost is very huge. The most important thing is that the Qi people cannot solve an important problem in the development of gunpowder, which is the problem of the charge of the flash cap. They don’t know what kind of stuff the people of Qin load Kind of gunpowder. After they tried a variety of gunpowder, they still had no results. As a result, the problem of fixed-loading bullets still remained unsolved.

However, Qi soon found a new buyer for this backward weapon. This is the North Korean country. They sold this relatively backward, but advanced weapon to countries such as North Korea and Korea. In order to increase production, North Korea is in great demand. And they traded a lot of local specialties, this way. This has stimulated Qi's weapons manufacturing industry, especially weapons workshops based on such workshops. They mass-produced weapon parts, and then assembled them together into a flintlock gun. Then, the government purchased the weapons in the hands of the hand-crafted workshops through acquisitions, and these weapons were purchased. Collected and sold to Korea, Korea. Then exchange those souvenirs back. Then sell these local products together with the various sea salt produced in Qi to other countries, earning high profits. Buy back the necessary iron ore, or coal. Or other strategic materials. These materials include all kinds of grain, gunpowder, steel and so on. These materials have become the main material support for whether Qi can carry out such a huge war. It can be said. Without these, the entire cycle of Qi's war would have collapsed early.

Stimulated by the war, a large number of handicraft workshops were born, and these handicraft workshops were the seeds of capitalism in Qi. Although there is no data to show, there is enough other evidence that Qi's cities are much too large.

"Every day, there will be a large number of landless farmers in the city who come from nearby villages to work in the city. They do not have any arable land and can only sell their labor. They are fortunate to find a place to work in the city. They no longer Farming, but to participate in Taoist workshops. This kind of situation happened in many places in Qi State." A scholar wrote.

"The city naturally supplies what they want. For example, food, enough flour from the State of Qin, and rice shipped from the State of Chu. Plus Qin’s various simple food and Chu State’s exquisite cooking Technology has made cities prosperous. But what’s worse is that our land is more and more concentrated in the hands of nobles. More and more people lose their land. A large number of civilians have to sell their labor. More and more people Concentrated in the city. There are fewer and fewer people in the farming area. I am very worried about this." The celebrity wrote in his diary. This also reflects the changes that have taken place in Qi from the side.

There are many changes in Qi. The city can best reflect it. The huge demand for military industry. It stimulated the development of Qi's military weapons production and related industries. This is mainly reflected in the handcraft workshop. Since they do not have industrial machinery and industrial machine tools, they can't get these things. They can only rely on manual methods to build hand-crafted workshops to complete huge military production.

With these. Qi State’s military production was initially established. It is precisely by relying on these military productions that Qi State has completed the normal operation of their country. Taxes can no longer make up for the huge consumption of this war.

The military workshop also has other workshops, such as bayonet, metallurgy, and buttstock. Woodworking manufacturing. Various mechanical parts. The earliest fitter in Qi was born. They will produce the most difficult firearm parts among flintlock guns. These parts gave birth to the earliest fitters and assembly parts in Qi. In the long-term work process, these craftsmen began to pursue constantly. They began to develop some of their own ideas, and then put these ideas into practice. This gave birth to early engineering talents, many times. This is how talent is built.

Not only Qi's military enterprises, but also Qi's shipbuilding and maritime transportation industries have also begun to develop rapidly. Because Qi and Korea are directly separated by a wide ocean, this greatly facilitates maritime transportation between the two countries. As a result, they quickly developed the maritime transport industry. Although they still use wooden ships, their rate of increase is rapidly increasing. The number of sailors in Qi State has grown rapidly, from the original size of less than 20,000 to 50,000. In the coastal areas, approximately one million people are involved in shipbuilding, transportation, and fishing industries. go with. Qi's maritime industry is also developing rapidly, and Qi is relying on maritime resources to support this war. Without these, it is very likely that Qi State would have been dragged down by Qin State early.
