Ding! System Notification: System binding successful. Reward: Newbie Gift Pack. Do you want to activate it now?
The voice in his mind made Lin Yu slightly stunned.
However, he immediately reacted.
This was the legendary artifact that transmigrators had to have, the System Goldfinger, right?
Just now, he was still worried that he could overthrow the Qing Dynasty with his own strength.
Now that he had the help of the system, Lin Yu suddenly felt confident.
"Activate!"
Although he didn't know what was in the system's big gift bag, since it was a gift from the system, there was no reason not to accept it.
Ding! System Message: Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Mauser 1888 Rifle Design Blueprint. 1000 rifles and 100,000 bullets!
Before the system finished speaking, a huge warehouse appeared in front of Lin Yu. There were 1000 brand-new rifles neatly placed in the warehouse.
There were also dozens of ammunition boxes filled with bullets.
Apart from that, there was also a design blueprint of the Mauser 1888 rifle floating in front of him.
Lin Yu took it curiously and took a look. The contents of the blueprint immediately turned into countless pieces of information and entered his mind, allowing him to understand the principle of manufacturing this gun in an instant.
If he had production tools with him, he could start production now!
"This thing is very convenient to use!”
After putting away the blueprint, Lin Yu was quite satisfied with the system's reward.
"System, are these weapons and ammunition stored in the System Space? It won't be discovered by others, right?"
The rewards from the system can be stored in the warehouse provided by the system. If the host needs to use it, he can retrieve it at any time. The things stored in the system warehouse will not be discovered by others!
After hearing the system's explanation, Lin Yu was completely relieved.
"System, are there any conditions for obtaining the reward?”
Considering that the system had only given him a beginner's gift pack and he had not seen the other rewards yet, Lin Yu asked curiously.
If he wanted to become stronger, he definitely could not do without the support and help of the system.
Therefore, if he could not figure out how to obtain the reward from the system, the meaning of the system's existence would be greatly reduced.
The host can complete the missions issued by the system and obtain the mission rewards. You can also use cash to buy weapons, equipment, and various items from the system store!
Hmm?
There's even a system store?
Lin Yu looked at it curiously and found a system store in the system.
He clicked on it out of curiosity and found that there was a dazzling array of goods, including military, industrial, lifestyle, resource, and medical products.
Each product had a clear price tag.
For example, the Mauser 1888 rifle that the system had just rewarded him with was priced at 10 taels of silver.
Other than firearms, there were all kinds of equipment here, from rifles and bullets to cannons, planes, and warships.
However, Lin Yu realized that as the equipment became more powerful and the era got closer to the modern era, the price of the equipment became more expensive.
This was reflected in the two Mauser rifles. The earlier Mauser 1888 only cost 10 taels of silver, while the later, more advanced Mauser 98 rifle cost 20 taels of silver. It was twice as expensive!
As for equipment such as planes, tanks, and warships, the prices were even more ridiculous.
Lin Yu took a look. The Flame Dragon that he was riding was a Bismarck-class battleship. Its price in the system was as high as 20 million taels of silver.
During the First World War, the Elizabeth class battleships only cost 12 million taels of silver, while the earlier Zhenyuan and Dingyuan battleships only cost 2 million taels of silver, which was ten times cheaper.
Of course, in terms of power, even ten Zhenyuan Dingyuan were no match for a Bismarck-class battleship, so the price was worth it!
However, this wasn't the most expensive item. The most expensive item was the mid-grade weapon at the end-the atomic bomb!
Lin Yu looked at the price curiously. Good heavens, an atomic bomb actually cost 200 million taels of silver!
The price was ridiculous. Although the atomic bomb was powerful and had a strong strategic deterrence, the price was not for show.
He definitely couldn't afford it or use it for a while.
However, when he had money in the future, he might consider buying a few to plant mushrooms for his enemies, especially for the neighboring countries!
……
While Lin Yu was locked in the captain's room to study the system, in Tianjing City, dozens of kilometers away from Flame Dragon...
The leader of the Xiang Army, Zeng Guofan, led his troops into the capital of Taiping Country, Tianjing City.
Tianjing City, which had been controlled by the Taiping Country Army since 1853, finally fell under the Xiang Army's artillery fire.
In order to take down this city, the Xiang Army had gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and mobilized a large number of cannons to bombard Tianjing City for several months.
Under the Xiang Army's fierce bombardment, many parts of Tianjing City's city wall had collapsed. The entire city wall looked tattered and tattered. There was even a huge gap of more than 70 meters in the most severely damaged area!
In order to take down this city, the Xiang army and even the entire Qing court spared no expense.
After two years of fierce fighting and the tragic price of tens of thousands of casualties, they finally conquered the capital of the Taiping Country.
And this greedy achievement made the Xiang Army leader Zeng Guofan's spirit rise.
He stood on top of the dilapidated Tianjing City and looked down at the city that was burning with raging flames, billowing with thick smoke, littered with corpses, and flowing with blood.
Zeng Guofan's confidence swelled to the extreme!
In the entire Celestial Empire, the strongest and most capable army was probably the Xiang Army under his command!
Zuo Zongtang from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Li Hongzhang from Jianghuai could be said to be his disciples. Their Huai and Chu armies were still inferior to the Xiang army.
It could be said that in the war to destroy Taiping Country, more than 70% of the credit went to Zeng Guofan and his Xiang Army!
Zeng Guofan was not the only one who held this view. His capable subordinates, including his younger brother Zeng Guoquan, also held this view.
"Marshal, the bandits 'palace has been taken down by our army. Marshal, please inspect!”
Zeng Guoquan invited Zeng Guofan to inspect Hong Xiuquan's palace. It wasn't just to inspect, but to hint him to become king.
"Yes, I know!"
Zeng Guofan's reaction to Zeng Guoquan's invitation was dull. Instead, he asked,"
"During the siege, a portion of the hair bandits escaped. I heard that the head of the hair bandits, Li Xiucheng, the young king of the hair bandits, Hong Tian Guifu, and the princess of the hair bandits escaped.”
