It is easy to occupy the iron mines of the tribal alliance, but the tribal alliance will not give away the iron mines!

So if you want to fight, you have to fight a big one, and beat the tribal alliance into submission in one battle!

In this battle, Mo Lin used 40,000 cavalry, each carrying half a month’s supplies, to attack the leader of the tribal alliance.

After defeating the leader, support other tribes to become new leaders.

Because the cavalry moved too fast, it was difficult to transport supplies, so they had to fight to support fighting.

For this reason, Morin transferred Ron back from Carno Fortress and asked him to lead the troops to fight this battle.

With 40,000 cavalry, only 5,000 can occupy the iron mines, then coerce the people to continue mining and transport the iron ore back to the territory.

The iron ore problem has been solved, and the coke problem must be solved next.

To Molin’s surprise, there are coal mines in the south. Although the reserves are a little small, based on the current demand, it is completely enough!

Coal is heated to a thousand degrees without air, and coke can be obtained.

The problem of raw materials and fuel is solved, and nothing else is a problem.

It would be better if Bruno could make a converter, but if he couldn’t, just stir things up slowly.

Anyway, the demand for steel is not big now, so Mo Lin is not in a hurry.

With the steel problem solved, Morin began to think about what kind of thermal weapon to make.

After much deliberation, I finally chose the mortar.

Nothing else but simplicity!

In the current stage of human military technology, it may be difficult to find a thermal weapon with such a simple structure, such easy manufacturing, and such low cost as a mortar.

The gun barrel only needs a steel pipe, seal one end, add a firing pin, and add a base bracket.

Even the base bracket can be omitted!

Today, the mortar has not changed much, except for the addition of some auxiliary sights.

The difficulty in manufacturing mortars is almost all in the shells.

But in fact, cannonballs are not difficult to make. They are made of pig iron and can basically be rubbed by hand.

It is in the shape of a water drop, heavy on the head and light on the tail. Several air-locking rings are engraved on the gun body, and a tail fin is installed on the tail to maintain stability.

For the fuze, you can choose the simplest one that explodes when it hits the ground.

Mercury fulminate can be used for both fuzes and primers. Although it is not as good as lead azide, it is still the same reason, simple!

Mercury fulminate can be obtained by placing mercury in nitric acid and reacting with ethanol.

Nitric acid can be obtained by distillation of saltpeter.

These are all things that Maureen can come up with now.

However, mercury fulminate is toxic and extremely unstable, so you need to be careful when making it!

Therefore, Mo Lin built the factory outside the city so that even if it exploded, it would not affect other people.

After everything was planned, Maureen began to make gunpowder and mercury fulminate.

This kind of thing must be left to the most trusted people, so it can only be made secretly by some soldiers.

When Molin started mass production, the cavalry sent out sent back news that they had captured the iron ore from the tribal alliance and were organizing the tribesmen to mine it.

Not long after, the large group of people also sent back the news that the leader of the tribal alliance had been defeated by them, but the leader ran away with his people.

Ron has supported a puppet to control the tribal alliance.

Mo Lin made a surprise attack this time, and everyone was equipped with compound bows. In addition, there were weapons such as explosive packs that they had never seen before. For the backward tribal alliance, it was a complete dimensionality reduction blow.

It is also expected that such results can be achieved.

Everything went according to plan and the iron ore arrived soon.

After more than a month of experiments, the first qualified mortar was finally produced!

It was rough and ugly, but in Maureen’s eyes very charming!

If she hadn’t doubted its safety, Maureen would have cummed herself.

In a wasteland far away from human habitation outside the city, Molin led the soldiers to experiment with mortars.

Find the gun position and set it up, install the fuze, check the shells, remove the safety device, and adjust the shooting angle.

Boom~

A cannon popped out of the chamber, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then hit the

ground.

Flying sand and rocks destroy everything.

Mo Lin nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad!”

Although the range and accuracy were a bit off, it would be fine if it could be shot.

The range can be controlled by the amount of charge, and can reach up to ten kilometers!

Of course, this is a modern mortar. This Morin can hit four or five kilometers, which is enough.

If accuracy is not enough, then use quantity to make up for it!

If one cannon can’t hit accurately, what about ten, one hundred, or one thousand cannons?

May I ask how you should respond to my mortar attack?

With the experience of making mortars, it will be much easier to make other weapons in the future.

Molin was satisfied and went back home, ordered Bruno to mass-produce, and at the same time began to form an artillery regiment.

Give birth and train at the same time.

Breakthrough progress has been made in the military, and people’s livelihood is also developing rapidly.

Refugees are still pouring in, and the number has exceeded 100,000!

There are also many talents among them, and there are even a few teachers who used to teach children from noble families.

Even this kind of people are reduced to the point of fleeing, which shows how chaotic the situation in the north is.

But the more chaotic the north becomes, the happier Mo will be! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Now that Mo Lin has enough manpower, the previously suspended projects are starting to start one after another.

The school has been built, but it has not been put into use because the teachers still need to be trained.

You need to figure out what should be taught and what should not be taught!

Cement roads have covered the entire city, including roads in the fields. They will no longer be muddy when it rains.

Large tracts of wasteland are being reclaimed. Molin’s principle is that whoever reclaims the land belongs to whoever reclaims it, but a person can reclaim up to ten acres, and he must also obtain Nomis City citizenship.

Some of the refugees who performed well became citizens of Nomis City in advance.

Lu Weisi publicly announced that he would be allocated land and exempted from taxes for one year, which greatly stimulated others.

After the beginning of spring, almost all the refugees obtained land and started sowing seeds after buying grain from Morin or locals.

Just when the city of Nomis was prosperous, the envoy of the noble coalition arrived!

As Molin expected, the situation of the noble coalition became increasingly difficult.

Tuvier knew their weakness and began to clear the field and focus on their granaries!

It is already difficult to see civilians around the territory of the noble alliance.

We can’t even get food, let alone salt.。[]

If people do not eat salt for a long time, various problems will occur in the body.

If this continues, they will be killed by Tuvier sooner or later!

There is no other way, Occam can only send an envoy to ask Morin for help!

Molin agreed to their request to buy grain and salt without hesitation, and the price was negotiable!

After purchasing a large amount of grain and salt, the envoy tentatively asked about weapons and armor.

Salt is tightly controlled by Tuvier, let alone iron.

The weapons of the soldiers of the noble alliance have long been in tatters. If they fight a few more battles, they will probably have to use fire sticks to fight.

Mo Lin also needs steel now, but the noble coalition is almost unable to hold on, so they can only squeeze out some of it for them to use.

Moreover, Mo Lin is now starting to play with hot weapons, so there is no harm in selling cold weapons to them.

The two discussed it again and finally reached a cooperation.

Mo Lin helped them forge armor, swords, spears, shields, and arrows. A set of armor cost one gold coin, and each weapon cost fifty silver coins.

Since they bought more, the arrows were cheaper, one copper coin each.

The steelmaking plant also has more manpower. There are more than 500 experienced craftsmen, each with ten apprentices, which is enough to meet their needs.

After all, this kind of business does not require one-time delivery, and there is plenty of time. It only takes three months to give them a total of 40,000 sets of equipment.

They have as many arrows as they need, but this thing is easy to make. Just make the arrows and leave the other steps to the civilians.

The refugees are eagerly waiting for jobs. There are definitely enough manpower for three people. .
