Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The advance troops of the Tiger Roar Guard arrived quickly, and the scouts returned to Xiao Tianzhu immediately.

"What unit is in the lead?"

"General, the ones leading the charge are the musketry troops!"

"The second echelon is artillery, the rear is anti-aircraft guns, and we suspect the front middle is equipped with mines."

Xiao Tianzhu felt relieved when he heard the military deployment.

"Send two groups of horses over to clear the mines, and the rest of the troops will board the hot air balloons to coordinate with the ground forces in the attack."

"Push the crossbow carts up there as well, and test their firepower first."

After so many contacts, Xiao Tianzhu already knew what level of weapons and equipment Qin Ming left in Yan Dynasty.

Xiao Tianzhu can handle these familiar equipment.

When he saw it today, he found that the opponent's deployment was almost the same as he expected.

The only thing left to do next was to test the enemy's ammunition reserves.

After one round of fighting, Xiao Tianzhu was able to easily understand his opponent and gradually eroded him.

In the wilderness, before the volleys of musketry began, both sides launched more than a dozen rounds of intensive bombardment with artillery.

The soil flew, the artillery fire exploded, and deep pits appeared on the ground one after another.

"General Zhao, we were unable to inflict any effective casualties. The enemy also destroyed all the mines we had laid in advance."

"So fast……"

Zhao San looked solemn.

Whether it is Wanyan Tielu or Xiao Tianzhu, they are both top generals who have experienced many battles and are knowledgeable.

It is easy to imagine how much pressure Zhao San would be under to command the army, as he has not experienced many wars.

However, Zhao San has one advantage, which is that he is steady and cautious and never rash.

Especially this time, with Yan Ziqiong's order, he didn't need to defeat Xiao Tianzhu, he just needed to delay him for enough time, and his burden would be much lighter.

"Send out three transport teams to the rear to transport gunpowder to the front line."

Zhao San is ready to compete with them for inventory.

When the Daqian army retreated, they left sufficient ammunition for the troops stationed here.

Just use firepower to suppress the opponent.

"General!!"

Soon, the Tiger Roar Guards who were fighting on the front line returned to Xiao Tianzhu.

"Their firepower was uninterrupted, and the frontline troops couldn't get through."

"Um?!"

Xiao Tianzhu frowned.

The situation he was most worried about finally happened.

"Substitute someone and disperse the attack."

Fire suppression is possible, attacking from all directions. As long as there is one more place, their gunpowder will be consumed exponentially.

Xiao Tianzhu reacted quickly and immediately re-commanded his troops to fight.

……

On the other side, the capital port of Daqian.

Several huge ships have already sailed in here.

Looking at these things, Wu Shizhong was full of emotion.

"Your Majesty, these ships appear to be the same size as our previous giant ships, but after being equipped with your internal combustion engines, they are much faster than before."

"It can carry so much cargo and still reach such a high speed. Our technology is constantly advancing."

"Yes, we just need to improve the thermal efficiency a little bit later."

Qin Ming and his colleagues have been researching internal combustion engines for a long time, and have been trying to improve thermal efficiency during this period, but they have always been limited by materials.

Fortunately, in addition to this kind of research, they have also studied many applications of internal combustion engines, which have now achieved good results.

"The next thing is electricity."

Qin Ming took a deep breath and slowly turned to look at Wu Shizhong.

Wu Shizhong scratched his head and whispered:

"Your Majesty, we have already made the light bulb, and the problem of electricity has been solved. Why don't we connect the palace first?"

Qin Ming had told them before that electricity could be generated by cutting the magnetic field, and that wind power and water power could also be used to generate electricity.

These clever craftsmen quickly developed electricity under the leadership of Wu Shizhong.

But in addition to electricity, they also need some electrical devices, such as electric lights.

With Qin Ming's assistance, they finally made some electric lights, but Qin Ming still had to decide how to use them and where to put them.

"There's no need to put it in the palace. Take it out and put it on the streets on both sides of the capital."

"You've started laying the wires in the past few days."

Qin Ming spoke slowly.

Under his arrangement, water pipes have been laid in the capital.

The water problems of many people have been solved, and they no longer have to fetch water from wells every day.

In addition to these, sewer pipes allow them to have toilets at home and improve hygiene standards.

After the infrastructure is laid, it is electricity.

This kind of thing has never appeared in the entire dynasty.

Originally, many people thought that the technology Qin Ming had developed would have reached its limit.

But this is not the case.

"Then let's go to the street outside the imperial city and light a lamp first."

Hearing Qin Ming's words, Wu Shizhong was also a little excited. They had already arranged the troops and warships to go to sea.

All that remains is to go back and carry out Qin Ming's orders.

Qin Ming also felt as if he was in another world at this time.

Since he came into this world, he has never seen an electric light.

Soon a group of people came to the street outside the imperial city, making a lot of noise.

They pulled a wire.

I also got a hand-cranked generator.

After hanging the round light bulb on the thick wooden stake.

Many people around came over to check it out out of curiosity.

"what is this?"

"This is called an electric light. It's very bright and can replace candles."

Qin Ming blended in with the crowd without revealing his identity.

Instead, he explained to them with a smile.

"It's just a glass cover, how can it light up?"

"Could it be that the people in the workshop have come up with something interesting again?"

As the light bulbs were connected to the wires, the people below began to use the hand-cranked generator.

There was a crackling sound of sparks.

The next moment, the round light bulb suddenly flashed a bright yellow light.

This scene made everyone around open their eyes wide, and they looked up in disbelief.

“It actually lights up.”

"Did you take the sun down from the sky?"

"Amazing."

Wu Shizhong walked up to the crowd and announced to them:

"This is something His Majesty and the workshop have recently developed. When the entire capital is connected to electricity, we can prevent the sun from setting at night!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

Everyone knelt on the ground, looking at the shining lamp with pious expressions.

Since the birth of mankind, there has been a desire for light. Daqian’s new invention is absolutely epoch-making for them.

Soon, newspapers began to hype the electric light.

Throughout the capital, a vigorous campaign to renovate and electrify the city began.

Streets were dug up and rubber-wrapped copper and aluminum wires buried.

When all countries were still researching firearms and thinking about how to catch up with Daqian.

Little did they know that Qin Ming had quietly led Daqian into a new era.
