The emperor is going to start scientific research and look for talents from all over the country, regardless of their wealth or status, as long as they understand these things.
He also ordered the Hanlin Academy to reprint the books they had brought with them several times, and ordered the Ministry of Works, the Imperial College, the Hanlin Academy, and other academic places to have them.
Anyone who is willing to study and research will be given not only money but also information by the imperial court. If one can develop one of the new products, he will be promoted immediately.
For a time, the entire Dayuan Dynasty was in an uproar. After the news spread throughout the country, some information and molds were sent to the government offices in various places.
But there are very few people who can truly understand these, especially since the documents submitted by Western countries are all in foreign languages. After seeing them, everyone exclaims that they cannot understand them.
When Liu Qiaoer received it, she was a little confused. She originally thought that she could at least understand some of it, but when she opened it, she found that foreign languages also had changes. The foreign languages she learned in her time were not unlike the characters today, but they were completely unrelated.
Except for the twenty-six letters, everything else is exactly the same.
Fortunately, she has a space with a computer in it. The computer knows how to translate. Even if it doesn’t know how to translate, the computer can still find these scientific and technological documents.
Liu Qiaoer's scientific research is in full swing.
Cui Boxiao led his men to fight against the Huns and the war was fierce.
At first, among the generals given to him by Marquis Zhenbei, Cui Boxiao had Pei Gang and Wen Cheng as his left and right deputies. Pei Gang was calm and collected, while Wen Cheng was a little impulsive.
In the incident of killing King Xiang, both of them were convinced by Cui Boxiao's wisdom and martial arts.
Therefore, this time the cooperation was even more tacit.
Cui Boxiao led only 20,000 generals in total. Border City was not far from Blue City, and they got there quickly. Border City was very large, but the population was very small, mainly because the environment was not very good.
Places suitable for living are all close to mountains and water. The people in the south of the city are all poor people who don't have the energy to make trouble. The ones who make trouble and seek independence are the gentry in the north of the city.
When Cui Boxiao and others entered the border city, they first passed through several counties.
The officials of the Dayuan Dynasty still ruled the counties in the south, but from Ak County to Daokul County and Hami County, it was already the world of the independent army.
Cui Boxiao took out the map of Frontier City and pointed at it with his finger: "We will set up camp outside the city of Kul County. After a day's rest, we will recapture the cities above one by one."
Unexpectedly, just when Cui Boxiao and others had settled the large army, the magistrate of Hami County came quietly with his men from somewhere.
"Are you General Cui, the godson of the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
Cui Boxiao nodded, and the Hami County Magistrate took out a document, which was written by the Huns to the independent legion of the frontier city.
The general meaning is that the army of Marquis Zhenbei is coming, we are leaving first, you guys hold on, and we will support you when you can't hold on, but the support will not be in vain, the three cities in the north will be given to them.
Cui Boxiao sneered: "It's ridiculous. Why should we give them our city? And those who want independence, if we really let them become independent, I'm afraid the entire border city will be occupied by the Xiongnu."
The frontier people who were vying for independence named themselves the Wusun Kingdom and occupied five cities in the northern border. Hami County was the most borderline one and the closest to Lancheng. As soon as it was occupied, the county magistrate fled with his people.
Cui Boxiao took a look at the map and found that the reason why the people in Border City were making a fuss was mainly because there was a desert between them and Blue City.
In the past, the desert was a natural barrier, but in Cui Boyao's view, it is not surprising. When traveling in the desert, besides carrying plenty of water, the important thing is not to get lost.
Ancient people already had compasses, and Cui Boxiao had also crossed the desert before and had experience.
When those who were seeking independence saw Cui Boxiao and his troops arriving so quickly, they actually became scared. That was how the magistrate of Hami County was able to escape.
Cui Boxiao found Pei Gang and Wen Cheng and worked out a set of battle formations.
In just half a month, Cui Boxiao recaptured the five cities occupied by the Independent Legion. The 20,000 soldiers led by Cui Boxiao attacked these cities with great momentum.
Those who were clamoring for independence were forced to retreat again and again.
Finally, he forced those who were seeking independence to the nearest city to the Tianshan Mountains, Beitun County. Across the Tianshan Mountains was the Xiongnu. In order to attack the Xiongnu, they had to take this county, so the army was stationed at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
Cui Boxiao glanced at the city wall of Beitun and said: "Take back this place while the weather is warm. When the weather gets cold, it will be difficult to fight."
Pei Gang was a little worried: "Beitun was originally the territory of the Frontier Governor's Office, and the city wall was built very high. Besides, the independent army led by Ali has more than 50,000 people, and almost all of them are in this city. It will be difficult for us to fight."
It is indeed difficult to fight. Cui Boyao took a look at the map and found that Beitun is an easy place to defend but difficult to attack. It is backed by the Tianshan Mountains and has a high city wall in front. Even in summer, the temperature is lower than other places.
Cui Boxiao and his companions were wearing thin clothes, so it was extremely difficult for them to go around the Tianshan Mountains.
"Don't talk about humanity when you fight them. So, tonight I will lead two hundred people and go around the Tianshan Mountains to the city. You can start challenging us tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Remember, just challenge, don't fight, delay time. We will use the smoke signals. Once I enter Beitun County, I will give you a signal. We should make peace and take Beitun."
After the plan was made, Cui Boyao asked their group to wear thicker clothes that night and they took a detour to Tianshan Mountain.
After walking for three days, Pei Gang saw smoke rising from the city.
So the challenge started again.
As a result, after three days of challenging, Ali's independent army did not come out to fight, and even hung up a sign of not wanting to fight.
In fact, Ali was pacing around the room anxiously.
"What should we do? We can't contact the Huns now, and the people who went to report the news haven't come back yet. If we go against the Zhenbei Army, it will be like an egg hitting a stone."
Ali's men advised him: "Otherwise, let's surrender. At this time, even if the Huns come, the Zhenbei Army will not necessarily lose. We are still people of the Dayuan Dynasty. They will not do anything to us."
Ali also shook his head: "Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. Even if we surrender now, our whole family will be executed if we are caught."
At this moment, he heard a noise outside. Ali was startled. Before he could react, he saw Cui Boxiao and his soldiers breaking into his mansion.
Pei Gang saw that the other side had hung up a banner of non-fighting and was about to withdraw his troops when he saw the city gate open.
Pei Gang immediately swung his sword and said, "Charge into the city."
Cui Boxiao forced Ali and other leaders of the independent regiment to come to the street. After Pei Gang led the soldiers in, they surrounded the entire army.
Cui Boxiao said, "You are from the Dayuan Dynasty. Don't believe their evil ambitions. We are the Zhenbei Army. As long as you surrender, I will forgive you for what happened."
The people of the Independent Legion were a motley crowd, and when they saw the city was broken, many of them surrendered, and suddenly only four or five thousand people were left in the barracks.
They refused to surrender.
Cui Boxiao had no choice but to let Pei Gang lead 10,000 people to stay in Beitun County. Cui Boxiao asked Wen Cheng to push these rebels back to Lancheng to see how the Zhenbei Army would deal with them.
Unexpectedly, Wen Cheng suppressed these rebels and just as they arrived at the border between Lancheng and Bianjiang City, he had people dig a mass grave, killed and buried all the rebels.
