Chapter 848:

"The emperor, I have to say that this kind of military can is a great invention for the army, because it will greatly reduce the logistics pressure, and it can support soldiers to fight far away, but the only drawback is that glass bottles are not transportable. Convenient and easy to break."
Luo Quan in the General Staff raised his doubts.
Xiao Ming was looking at the topography of the sand table in the country of Dayu. He was quite helpless when he heard that he was not aware of the shortcomings of glass cans, but at present, the fastest way to get canned food is to produce glass cans, because the attack on Chu is imminent. , Something is better than nothing.
While producing glass cans, he did not give up the idea of ​​manufacturing metal cans, but it was more complicated to build a metal can production line than glass cans production line.
That's why he chose to establish a glass canning workshop first. Even if the army no longer purchases glass cans, this workshop can still produce canned fruit as a commodity and sell it to the people.
As for the process of iron cans, it involves the manufacture of tinned sheet metal cans, which includes two processes, one is tinning and the other is metal cans.
To achieve this combination of processes requires a combination of chemical and mechanical. Because of this, the production of metal cans may take more than half a year at night than glass cans, and he can't wait so long.
Fortunately, this process is not too complicated. There are many tin plating methods, and the simplest method is immersion tin plating.
This method is to immerse the iron sheet in a solution containing tin salt, and deposit a tin plating layer on the surface of the iron sheet according to the principle of chemical displacement. Tin is non-toxic, so it can be used as an important task for storing food. After all, food will directly contact our iron. Corroded, and this tinning process was invented in the early nineteenth century.
In addition to the tinning process, it is the canning process. This is much more complicated than tinning. The reason why it was handed over to Lin Wentao was to produce a round machine.
When producing cans, the iron pieces are cut out according to the size of the can. The part of the can body will be rolled in a rounding machine, and then it will be curled into a can, and then the bottom and lid of the can are formed and sealed by crimping.
"I understand what you mean, but this is the fastest method right now. You can try it first. When the metal cans appear, you will feel comfortable." Xiao Ming said.
This time he came to the staff not specifically for canned food, but to formulate a combat plan against Chu State.
Luo Quan's eyes are full of expectation. He values ​​this kind of canned food that can be easily carried. After so many years of marching in the war, he deeply understands what changes this kind of canned food will bring to the army.
"In this case, the old minister is relieved." Luo Quan stroked his beard and laughed.
Then he walked to Xiao Ming's side and said, "The emperor, the minister thinks that there is one thing that needs to be done before attacking Chu Kingdom."
"what's up?"
Luo Quan walked to the map in the staff department. He pointed to the barbarians in the north and the country on the Korean peninsula and said: "As far as the old minister knows, the king of Chu has been secretly dealing with the barbarians, and the Cao family has business dealings with the country. If When the army goes south, maybe the barbarians and the Japanese government took the opportunity to attack. Therefore, the old official thought that before attacking the Chu State, he must stabilize his side. This barbarian has Qi Guangyi watching and can't make the big waves, but what if this Japanese State took the opportunity to come?"
Xiao Ming nodded, "If I were to attack King Chu, the two hungry wolves would not come up and take a bite, but if I beat the wolves first, the Chu country would definitely not dare to send troops, because it would be rebellious."
"Exactly, this is what the old minister thought." Luo Quan said.
In fact, Xiao Ming had already thought of cleaning up the Japanese kingdom, but the battle had to be fought one by one. Now that the barbarians have fallen, the Japanese kingdom has become a worry in the north.
After pondering for a while, he said: "I will give Yue Yun an order to block the waters between the Japanese kingdom and Goryeo, cut off the connection between the Japanese pirate army in Goryeo and the mainland, and let Ye Qingyun kill him. After all, there is no food. With supplies, they will surely lose heart."
"At this time, using the navy is more appropriate." Luo Quan felt relieved.
Xiao Ming looked to the south of Goryeo. He would no longer give the Wa country the opportunity to initiate war. In his time, the initiative of war was in his hands.
After deciding on this matter, Xiao Ming and Luo Quan and a group of staff members discussed a specific combat plan. Then, the plan was sent from the staff in the name of Xiao Ming to Dengzhou and Hai Ancient City respectively. After the war in the north was over, They each returned to their station.
Three days later, the news arrived at the Dengzhou Naval Base, and Yue Yun was ordered by Xiao Ming to immediately gather his fleet to prepare to go to the waters of the country.
"It's great, now we can finally let the Japanese navy master taste the power of our new type of shells." Yue Yun was full of spirits.
Since the navy fleet was fully equipped with new artillery shells, he was gearing up and ready to fight. The power of the artillery shells made him very confident now, because they had used them in the pursuit of pirates.
It only takes a few shots to sink the pirate's battleship, which is amazing.
In his opinion, the navy and pirates of the Japanese kingdom are no different. They are no longer afraid of the wolf tactics of the pirates, nor are they afraid of the wolf tactics of the Japanese kingdom.
At the same time, Xiao Ming's order also arrived at Haigucheng Daying.
After reading the order, Ye Qingyun stretched out and said, "Assemble eight thousand people, we are going to work."
"Working?" The teachers looked at each other.
Ye Qingyun said: "The emperor let us take the initiative to provoke a war against the Japanese country, drive the Japanese pirates from the land of Goryeo back to China, and completely control Goryeo."
Everyone immediately became happy when they heard this, and a division commander said: "Commander, are these eight thousand people enough?"
"With the tattered firearms used by the Japanese country~EbookFREE.me~ If 8,000 people can't even find trouble, you and I can go home to grow sweet potatoes." Ye Qingyun cursed.
Another person asked, "How do you provoke?"
"What reason is needed for the provocation, directly hitting the Japanese pirates to death, and then occupying the dead wood bridge, which is the only way to the south of Goryeo."
Everyone nodded, and now this stone bridge across the river is occupied by Japanese pirates, who often invade the boundaries of Korea through this bridge.
In the ancient city of Hai, they often heard incidents of Japanese pirates sneaking over from across the river to looting.
Therefore, Ye Qingyun had already suffocated his stomach, and now this imperial decree officially gave him a chance to vent his anger.
Thinking of this, he shouted: "What are you still doing? Now take your best soldiers and best weapons. This time we want the Japanese pirates to understand what kind of powerful country they have provoke."
All the war mads suddenly burst into laughter, they quickly mobilized the elite of the army and prepared to seize the bridge.
