"Sir, I, I didn't hear wrongly, right? You said that tens of millions of people would die in the Ming Dynasty?”
"How, how is this possible? Sir, are you joking?”
"This must be a joke. Zhen doesn't believe it. This is impossible!”
Chong Zhen's emotions became a little agitated!
This was the first time he had lost his composure.
Even when he heard that he would hang himself in Mei Mountain and that Great Ming would be exterminated, he had never been so agitated. At this moment, he actually subconsciously dared to question Ji Han.
Tens of millions of people!
These were all living human lives!
How could tens of millions die?
The Great Ming Dynasty only had a population of about 100 million, and half of them were going to die?
Wasn't this a little too exaggerated?
Even Ying Zheng and Wang Ben were shocked.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Ji Han sighed and smiled bitterly." That's the truth. The Little Ice River disaster over the years has led to a decrease in food production in various places. There are constant disasters and all kinds of rebels are burning, killing, and looting everywhere. Slave Jian often causes trouble!”
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, other than Jiangnan and a few other places, most of the other places were empty, and less than one in ten people survived!”
"After Slave Jian entered the pass, he massacred the Great Ming Dynasty. Dozens of cities were massacred because they resisted Slave Jian.”
"After that, they even proposed the cruel order of leaving their heads and hair behind. Who knows how many people they killed!”
"After so many battles, by the time Slave Jian completely destroyed Nanming, the population had dropped to less than 50 million. Tens of millions of people died in the disasters and wars, and corpses were everywhere!”
The more Ji Han spoke, the more indignant he became!
The eyes of Ying Zheng, Chong Zhen, and Wang Ben also turned red.
Everyone seemed to have seen this tragic scene.
"This, this is all my fault, all my fault!”Chong Zhen's face was covered in tears as he said painfully,""I've let down the people of the Nine Provinces, and I've let down my ancestors!”
"It's okay. You still have a chance to change in this life!”" So, not only do you have to develop firearms to fight against the crippled Slaves Jian, you also have to work hard to save food to fight against natural disasters. The lives of tens of millions of people are waiting for you to save them!" Ji Han said seriously.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Mister!"
"I will never let you down!"
Chongzhen bowed solemnly!
He felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.
For the sake of the millions of citizens of the Ming Dynasty, he had to walk down the path to the end. He had to kill anyone who stood in his way!
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had met Ji Han!
With the help of this immortal master, he had the possibility of turning the tables.
"Brother Shi Huang, please prepare more food for me!”"I want as many as you have. I can exchange them with firearms."”
"Good!"
Ying Zheng laughed out loud, and the contract between the two of them was finally set.
"Old Zhao, when are you going to fight the Xiongnu?”Ji Han asked in surprise.
"Soon!" " My army is almost ready," Ying Zheng said domineeringly." Hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers have already arrived in the north. Once all the cavalrymen are fully equipped with the three-piece set, we can start the war. About seven or eight days later!"”
"So fast?" Ji Han frowned secretly.
Even though Great Qin now had so many groundbreaking weapons…
However, the Xiongnu were not to be trifled with. If they really fought, it was easy to cause casualties and a large number of wounded soldiers.
Originally, he had wanted to get a bunch of Yunnan Baiyao and impart some medical knowledge to Old Zhao so that he could train some doctors to reduce the casualty rate!
But now it seemed that it was too late!
"Looks like I can only get some alcohol to disinfect it. I'll slowly do the other things in the future.”
"Fortunately, we have a huge advantage in this battle. There shouldn't be many casualties!”
"Old Zhao, just you wait. I'll prepare some good things for you tomorrow. I guarantee that your battle will be smooth sailing!”
"Oh right, after Old Zhu gives you the first batch of wooden hand grenades, get everyone to bring them with you. If you have nothing to do, just blow them up. We don't lack grenades!”
"Isn't there a saying? If you're poor, you can use tactics, if you're rich, you can use grenades on ballistae!”
Ji Han reminded her patiently!
Ying Zheng was exceptionally moved. He knew that Ji Han was afraid that his casualties would affect the strength of Great Qin.
"Sir, you worry too much!" " If I still can't deal with the Xiongnu people even with so many good things, what use do I have for this million strong army?" Ying Zheng said domineeringly.”
"We will definitely win. Wouldn't it be good to have fewer casualties?”"Grenades are non-living objects, so it's better than fighting with your life!" Ji Han said angrily.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Teacher's lesson is right. Zhen will remember it!”"But what does it mean to tie grenades to ballistae and use them as cannons?" asked Ying Zheng curiously.”
"You don't even understand this?" Ji Han rolled his eyes and said," The grenades aren't far enough to fight on the grasslands. They're too weak to deter the enemy. You have to have a cannon!"”
"But what if you don't have a cannon? This thing could easily shoot a few hundred steps, and the crossbow was thicker than a baby's arm. It was extremely powerful!”
"You only need to tie the grenade to the crossbow and fire it, then you can hit anywhere you want within a few hundred steps. Isn't this like a cannon?"
Ji Han explained and described!
Ying Zheng, a country bumpkin who had never seen a cannon before, finally understood what it meant.
"Cai, this method is very good. It can also be used in a siege!”Ying Zheng clapped his hands excitedly, while Wang Ben's eyes were glowing.
Because this move easily solved the problem of not having enough grenades!
The two couldn't help but be overjoyed when they imagined a row of ballistae firing in unison, followed by an explosion a few hundred paces away.
Even Chong Zhen couldn't help but be moved.
"Sir, this method is wonderful!" "Simple and practical, good!" Chong Zhen said in surprise.”
"What a chicken!" Ji Han said unhappily," Great Qin doesn't have cannons for now, so we can only make do with it. How many cannons have you made?"”
