Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 495 Imperial Central Army

The [-]-strong army all knelt down on the ground, uniform, well-trained, and in strict military discipline.

Lu Hao glanced around, using his internal energy, he slowly rose into the air, casually pulled out the Lu Family Army's flag, and landed on the high platform in front of him.

"Soldiers, I believe everyone has heard that I am about to ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Chinese Empire. However, this flag of the Lu family army will never fall. I will lead the soldiers to conquer the world and unify it. Mainland! Achieve eternal hegemony!"

Lu Hao waved the handsome flag of the Lu Family Army, looking domineering.

"The Prime Minister is mighty! The Prime Minister is mighty! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

All the soldiers roared in unison, the sound was like a rainbow.

"Soldiers, starting today, the Lu Family Army has officially changed its name to the Central Army of the Chinese Empire. Xuanyuan Lingyu will be the commander-in-chief of the First Army Corps of the Imperial Central Army, and Liu Ruxu will be the commander-in-chief of the Second Army Corps of the Imperial Central Army..."

"All generals, please come to the stage and accept the flag of the Imperial Central Army..."

Lu Hao issued a series of favorable personnel appointments.

After all, an empire that favors Xin must have a national flag that favors Xin. This imperial military flag is slightly modified from the national flag.

According to Lu Hao's wishes, the imperial flag did not use the previous flaming flag, but was designed as a galloping horse flag, with a bit of wild domineering, and it looked like it was going to flatten the Qianyuan Continent.

It is this horse that will sweep across the world in a long time, crushing all the major empires, dynasties, and tribes.

In the past, it could still be called the Lu Family Army, but now that Lu Hao is about to become the emperor, these armies should also be brought under the banner of the Empire's Central Army. The military power is still in the hands of Lu Hao, but it has been given a more resounding name.

Xuanyuan Lingyu and other generals came to the stage to accept the new military flag. From then on, the Lu Family Army became a legend.

The Imperial Central Army of the Chinese Empire will continue this legend, establish unparalleled feats, and sweep across the entire continent.

"Long live the Chinese Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

All the soldiers collectively knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, thinking that he was the emperor of the empire.

"All commanders, please!"

Lu Hao said loudly: "Soldiers of the empire, next month, I will lead you to march north to deal with Liu Mu, the disobedient King of Beiyuan!"

"Then, we will cross the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture and march into the Chimir Prairie outside the Great Wall, defeat Baili Tiance's hundred thousand cavalry, tear apart the five major tribal alliances outside the Great Wall, flatten the entire Chimir Prairie, and make them surrender to the empire. Under the iron heel of the Central Army..."

"Long live the Empire! Long live the Central Army!"

Lu Hao finally roared at the top of his lungs.

"Long live the Empire! Long live the Central Army!"

The blood of all the soldiers seemed to be ignited, and they roared in unison with domineering force.

The five major tribal alliances outside the Great Wall are more powerful than the Eastern Turks, and the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture in the middle area has a dangerous terrain, with only a few roads leading to the Great Wall.

If the Imperial Central Army's backward supply line is cut off, the battle ahead will become tight.

All in all, it will definitely be ten times more difficult than the East Turks to truly conquer the Chimir Grassland and completely defeat the five major tribal alliances outside the Great Wall.

Lu Hao ended the military parade and went to the arsenal to inspect the production of guns and ammunition, as well as cannons, grenades, and explosive packs.If the Northern Expedition is carried out, the only advantage is that the official road from the imperial capital to Yanjing City has been basically completed.

As for the remaining short section, it was blocked by Liu Mu. It is estimated that it will be completed after Liu Mu is killed.

These are all minor problems, and once the official roads are repaired, these cannons can be continuously transported to the front line by horse-drawn carriages.

The question now is, how to pass through the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun?

Baili Tiance outside the Great Wall would never leave a complete road there, waiting for the Imperial Central Army to enter the prairie with great swagger.

Mr. Peng Weiqiang reported on the production of steam engines, cement and rubber.

As an epoch-making product, the steam engine is also a necessary process for entering the electrical age, and its technology has become increasingly mature.

The modified steam engine solved many problems of air and water leakage, and its power was greatly increased, enough to drive a large five-story ship.

Although the ironclad ship has not yet been built, Lu Hao is planning to lay a railway from Hengyang City to the Imperial Capital to facilitate the transportation of large steam engines to the pier of the Imperial Capital.

As long as you arrive at the dock in the imperial capital, you can board the ship and transport it directly to Qiongzhou Port and Crescent Port.

Of course, it would be better if a shipyard for ironclad ships could be established in the imperial capital.

The only drawback is that during the dry season, the armored ship is likely to run aground here, making it difficult to drive out of the port.

This problem can be effectively solved if the launching period is chosen during the wet season.

The original ironclad ship was actually an empty shell with some wooden lofts stuffed inside, and coupled with powerful weapons such as cannons and rifles, it could form a very powerful combat force.

Lu Hao came over this time and brought the design drawings of the latest sniper rifle AWM and assault rifle AK47, as well as improved magazines and bullet bags, as well as the triggering method of new grenades.

Some parts of the AWM sniper rifle have been enhanced, so they can handle higher chamber pressures. The bullets used are also dedicated large-caliber bullets, which are more lethal and powerful.

A big killer like the AK47 uses a stamped receiver. However, there is no stamping machine yet, so the receiver is cast by mold casting.

Lu Hao can naturally design the drawings of the stamping machine tool, but now there is no electricity at all, how to drive it?
Therefore, bullets are still produced by using grinding tools to produce cartridge cases and warheads, and then the propellant and primer are manually packaged. The warhead closing method is generally a roller pressing type.

At the same time, in order to prevent the surface of the warhead from oxidizing and improve the sealing performance of the bullet, the surface of the warhead needs to be waxed.

In the past, the steel material used in the cartridge cases caused great harm to the rifle barrel and easily damaged the rifle. Now Lu Hao is thinking of ways to increase copper production. In the future, cartridge cases can be wrapped with copper sheets to reduce friction, thereby also improving the use of the gun. life.

Lu Hao asked Mr. Peng Weiqiang to recruit a large number of craftsmen from all over the country, hoping to develop better guns and ammunition on these basis.

Although there are drawings for a brand new sniper rifle and assault rifle, it will take a long time to actually produce them completely.

Lu Hao stayed in Hengyang City for another day and solved many practical problems for Master Peng.

What pleased him was that Master Peng had gathered a large number of craftsmen from the empire, who were enough to help Master Peng complete the manufacturing of new sniper rifles and assault rifles, as well as the improvement of cannons and grenades.

With these skilled craftsmen and Lu Hao's knowledge base, I believe that it won't be long before the empire's technological strength will reach a higher level.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Lu Hao returned to the Imperial Palace and came to Qianyuan Palace.
