The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Compared to the days when other people ruled South Vietnam, the people of South Vietnam today are stable and prosperous under the governance of Luo Yunxian. Everyone wants to live like this.

After staying in South Vietnam for more than four months, Jiang Fan returned to Dayan. He originally wanted to go to the Northern Mongolian grassland to meet Dora Yue'er.

Unfortunately, he was too late. When he returned to Dayan, the refinery had just started production and the first batch of crude oil had been successfully refined.

Jiang Fan experimented with the manufactured internal combustion engine, and the results were excellent. Watching the internal combustion engine working, all the people participating in the experiment widened their eyes with disbelief in their eyes.

Although they had witnessed the power of the steam engine, they did not expect that in addition to such epoch-making products as the steam engine, there was also a more advanced product such as the internal combustion engine.

Compared to steam engines that rely on coal as fuel, internal combustion engines only burn oil, which saves a lot of coal. There are new developments in the energy sector.

After having the internal combustion engine, Jiang Fan specially set up an internal combustion engine research and development department. In addition to researching better internal combustion engines, he also prepared to put the internal combustion engine into use.

The first thing he thought of was making cars, for example, small cars, and then heavy trucks. There were also internal combustion engine lathes, engines, and so on.

He drew a lot of blueprints and strengthened the reward system. If anyone could research more inventions, he would reward them with a large bonus.

Those who can join the research group have all learned physics and chemistry, or advanced physics and chemistry knowledge.

With the popularization of schools, more and more talents are being cultivated in various places. After several years of development, it can be said that initial results have been achieved.

At the same time, Dayan's naval development also entered a period of rapid development. In addition to large warships, it was also equipped with relatively smaller warships.

The fleet was also divided into three, with Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui leading one fleet each, and Lu Wentian also leading one fleet. Jiang Fan had decided to send two of the three fleets to Japan to destroy it.

After finishing the internal combustion engine, Jiang Fan went to the Northern Mongolian grassland, met Duo La Yue Er, and named the two children.

The development of the northern Mongolian grassland has also entered a period of rapid development. Cities have been built in many places, and people no longer live in tents. The quality of life has also been greatly improved.

The quality of life was stable, no one wanted to fight anymore, and the relationship between Beimeng and Dayan entered a honeymoon period. Not to mention the tribal leaders who hoped to merge Beimeng and Dayan.

They wanted Dayan's advanced technology, but also because they could live a good life without having to fight, so who would be willing to fight?

The two children born to Duo La Yue Er, after seeing Jiang Fan, pestered Jiang Fan every day, and they are already over two years old, almost three years old! Looking at this pair of children, Jiang Fan felt a little emotional.

It has been almost four years since I came to this world. It is not easy to develop to this point in four years.

During the time that Jiang Fan was in the Bingmeng grassland, the Northern Barbarians were ready to make a move. They gathered an army of 300,000 and stationed them on the border, ready to attack at any time.

Jiang Fan's side has been developing in the past few years, and the Northern Barbarians have also been developing rapidly. After the Northern Barbarians unified the peninsula, their ambitions began to expand. If they had not been unable to take over Dashi at the beginning, they would have sent troops long ago.

Now, their total military strength reached one million, and their territory had nearly doubled. They defeated the Jurchen tribe and seized most of their territory. The Jurchen tribe also retreated to the more bitter and cold north, and their national strength was several times stronger.

Therefore, they felt that they were capable again, so they immediately sent 300,000 troops to attack Youdu Prefecture. The Silla general who led the army this time was called Li Shunchen, who was said to be unparalleled in combat power.

The Japanese pirates once sent troops to Silla, hoping to occupy it, but were eventually beaten and forced to flee. The Jurchen tribe was also defeated by Li Shunchen.

Li Shunchen's status in Silla has reached an unprecedented level, and he is honored as the Silla God of War by the people of Silla. When he sent troops to Youdu, the whole Silla people thought that he could destroy Daxi and Dayan in a short time.

At this time, Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng were stationed in Youdu, and the total number of troops stationed in Youdu was only 50,000. With the popularization of rifles and various new weapons in the army.

The 50,000 people stationed in Youdu were all equipped with new equipment, and even the Mark IV was equipped with 100 assault rifles, submachine guns, and even mountain cannons and large-caliber artillery.

After several years of development, Jiang Fan had more than one arsenal under his command in Huainan Prefecture. He had built more than a dozen arsenals in various places.

There is one near Youdu Prefecture, which is more than enough to provide equipment for the garrison of Youdu.

After Jiang Fan knew about this, he rushed to Youdu immediately. He was not worried that Youdu would be defeated. His purpose of rushing to Youdu was to destroy Silla.

If this arrogant country is not eliminated and incorporated into the territory of Dayan, it will only cause trouble to people day and night.

Even one day in the future, he will say that they are the ancestors of Dayan people. He will say that Dayan's Chinese culture is theirs! It is better to let such a disgusting nation slowly disappear in the dust of history.

The best way is to seize Silla and turn it into a province of Dayan. Finally, gradually merge them with Dayan.

Just after Jiang Fan arrived in Youdu, he saw the newly built asphalt road and some large horse-drawn carriages equipped with internal combustion engines.

The wheels of the carriage were no longer wooden wheels, but rubber tires, which were many times better than wooden wheels.

Unfortunately, there are still some technical difficulties in the production of heavy-duty trucks that cannot be overcome, so they cannot be manufactured for the time being. However, I believe that in one to two years, heavy-duty trucks can be put into production.

When Jiang Fan arrived at Youdu Mansion, Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng came to meet Jiang Fan and informed him of the current situation.

When the Silla army was approaching the border, Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng withdrew the troops from several small watchtowers nearly a hundred miles ahead of Youdu.

It's not that they can't beat the other side, but Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng have their own ideas. Niu Wu's idea is very simple, that is to lure the enemy into a trap and wipe them out in one fell swoop!

“Your Highness, Li Shunchen of Silla is indeed quite capable. Although he led an army of 300,000, the army was divided into ten groups, heading towards Youdu in ten directions.”

"I don't want to alert the enemy, for fear that they will escape, so I want to lure them to Youdu Mansion and then annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Niu Wu said respectfully to Jiang Fan.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan nodded, expressing his approval of Niu Wu's approach.

The last time Silla invaded, they fled after one battle. If the fighting power displayed by their side was horrible, even Li Shunchen, who was called the God of War by the Silla people, would be in trouble.
