"Your Majesty, I have to say that this kind of military canned food is a great invention for the army, because it will greatly reduce the pressure on logistics, and it will be able to support soldiers to fight far away, but the only drawback is that the glass bottles are very inconvenient to transport and easy to break. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Luo Quan in the General Staff raised his doubts.

Xiao Ming was looking at the sand table terrain of the Great Yu Kingdom, and he was a little helpless when he heard it, in fact, he didn't know the disadvantages of glass cans, but at present, the fastest way to get canned food was to produce glass cans, because the attack on Chu was imminent, and it was better than nothing.

While producing glass cans, he did not give up the idea of manufacturing metal cans, but it was much more complicated to establish a metal can production line than a glass can production line.

That's why he chose to set up a glass canning workshop first, even if the army no longer purchased glass cans, this workshop could produce canned fruit and sell it as a commodity to the people.

As for the process of iron cans, it involves the manufacture of tinned sheet metal cans, which includes two processes, one is tin plating and the other is metal cans.

To achieve this combination of technology requires a combination of chemistry and mechanics, and because of this, the production of metal cans is probably more than half a year later than that of glass cans, and he can't wait that long.

However, fortunately, this process is not too complicated, and there are many tin plating methods, the simplest of which is dip tin plating.

This method is to immerse the iron sheet in a solution containing tin salts, and deposit a tin plating layer on the surface of the iron sheet according to the principle of chemical replacement, and tin is non-toxic, so it can serve as the important task of storing food, after all, food will rust if it comes into direct contact with my iron, and this tin plating process was invented in the early nineteenth century.

In addition to the tin plating process, it is the process of canning, which is much more complicated than tin plating, and the reason why it was handed over to Lin Wentao is that he will produce a kind of machine for forming a circular machine.

When producing cans, the iron sheet will be cut out according to the size of the can, and the part of the can body will be rolled through the rounding machine, and it will be curled into a can, and then the bottom and lid of the can will be sealed by curling.

"I understand what you mean, it's just that this is the fastest way at the moment, you try to use it first, and when the metal cans appear, you will be comfortable." Xiao Ming said.

He did not come to the General Staff this time specifically for canned food, but to formulate a battle plan against the Chu State.

Luo Quan's eyes were full of expectation, he valued this kind of canned food that could be carried easily, and after so many years of marching and fighting, he deeply understood what changes this kind of canned food would bring to the army.

"In this case, the old minister is relieved." Luo Quan stroked his beard and laughed.

Then he walked up to Xiao Ming and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is one thing that needs to be done before attacking the Chu State. ”

"What's the matter?"

Luo Quan walked to the map in the general staff, he pointed to the barbarians in the north and the Wa State on the Goryeo Peninsula and said: "As far as the old minister knows, the King of Chu has been secretly dealing with the barbarians, and the Cao family has business dealings with the Wa State, if the army goes south, maybe the barbarians and the Wa State will take the opportunity to make trouble, so the old minister thinks that he must stabilize the border trouble before attacking the Chu State, this barbarian has Qi Guangyi to watch, and he can't turn over the big waves, but what if this Wa State takes the opportunity to come?" ”

Xiao Ming nodded, "If I attack the King of Chu, these two hungry wolves will not be able to come up and take a bite, but if they attack the wolves first, this Chu State will definitely not dare to send troops, because it will be rebellious." ”

"Exactly, that's what the old minister thinks." Luo Quan said.

In fact, Xiao Ming had long had the idea of cleaning up the Wa Kingdom, but the battles had to be fought one by one, and now that the barbarians had fallen, the Wa Kingdom had become a worry in the north.

After pondering for a while, he said: "I will give Yue Yun an order, asking him to block the sea area between the Japanese Kingdom and Goryeo, cut off the connection between the Japanese army in Goryeo and the mainland, and then let Ye Qingyun destroy it in one fell swoop, after all, without food and grass supplies, they will definitely be disheartened." ”

"It's only fitting to use the Navy at this time." Luo Quan was reassured.

Xiao Ming looked at the southern part of Goryeo, he would not give the Wa State the opportunity to take the initiative to provoke a war, in his time, the initiative of the war was in his hands.

After deciding on this matter, Xiao Ming, Luo Quan and a group of staff officers discussed a specific battle plan, and then, this plan was sent from the staff headquarters in the name of Xiao Ming, and went to Dengzhou and Haigu City respectively, and after the war in the north was over, they each returned to their stations.

Three days later, the news arrived at the Dengzhou Naval Base, and after receiving Xiao Ming's order, Yue Yun immediately gathered a fleet and prepared to go to the waters of the Wa Kingdom.

"Great, this time we can finally let the Japanese Navy Master taste the power of our new cannonballs." Yue Yun is high-spirited.

He was ready to fight since the Navy fleet was fully equipped with new shells, and the power of the shells made him confident that they had used them in the pursuit of pirates.

It only takes a few rounds to sink a pirate ship, and it's powerful.

In his opinion, the sailors of the Wa Kingdom are no different from pirates, they are no longer afraid of the wolf tactics of the pirates, and they are not afraid of the wolf tactics of the Wa Kingdom.

At the same time, Xiao Ming's order also arrived at the camp of Haigu City.

After reading the order, Ye Qingyun stretched his waist, and he said, "Gather eight thousand people, we have to work." ”

"Work?" The division commanders looked at each other.

Ye Qingyun said: "The emperor asked us to take the initiative to provoke a war against the Japanese state, drive the Japanese in the land of Goryeo back to the mainland, and completely control Goryeo. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became happy, and a division commander said: "Commander, is these 8,000 people enough?" ”

"With the tattered firearms used by the Japanese country, if 8,000 people can't even find trouble, you and I can go home and plant sweet potatoes." Ye Qingyun scolded.

Another asked, "How can I provoke that?"

"What other reason is needed for the provocation, just beat the Japanese to death, and then occupy the deadwood bridge, which is the only nearby access to the south of Goryeo."

The crowd nodded, and now the stone bridge across the river was occupied by the Japanese invaders, who often used the bridge to invade the borders of Goryeo.

In Haigu City, they often heard of the Japanese robbers secretly coming from across the river to loot.

Therefore, Ye Qingyun had long held back the fire in his belly, and now this holy decree officially gave him a chance to vent his anger.

Thinking of this, he roared: "What are you still doing in a daze, now immediately bring your best soldiers and best weapons, this time we want the Japanese to understand what kind of powerful country they have provoked." ”

The war maniacs burst out laughing, and they quickly drew the elite of the army and prepared to seize the bridge.
