Chapter 2185: The cigarette friendship brought out by the lighter
After accepting the task, Dou Mingwang was the main general and Ma Bao was the lieutenant general. The price was still to be discussed. Dou Mingwang asked, "Your Highness, what kind of army do we give us?"
Yan Yu generously said: "It's up to you, you have the right to make decisions on the battlefield!"
Dou Mingwang and Ma Bao are overjoyed!
Returning to the old subordinates is naturally better than the newcomers. Having the right to make decisions on the battlefield means that the military will not interfere with the commander's operations. Everything is based on winning!
Ten thousand troops were sent as a partial division without the help of the main force, but Dou Mingwang and Ma Bao were full of confidence.
After leaving the palace, the two generals took the king’s hand edict without stopping, and immediately rushed to Syria by boat, mobilized the army from the Fifth Army, and formed the independent eighth division of the Western Expedition Army. Commander Zuo Menggeng happily let them go. With the help of 3,000 soldiers and horses in this unit, it was supported by 2,000 artillery units and engineers.
Dou Mingwang is the old horse who knows the way. He mobilized half of the 201st division of the Imperial Army, namely 5,000 people, to participate in the war.
This 201 division is all Japanese, and the commander is Takahashi Taro. Its fighting will is tenacious, well-trained, and cruel in nature. The choice is right!
Dou Mingwang appointed Takahashi Taro as the second deputy commander, and at the same time formed a staff to break down the work, so that he can relax a lot.
In less than five days, tens of thousands of people lifted their buttocks. Together with their equipment and supplies, they boarded the seagoing ship and set off, demonstrating the South China Empire’s powerful shipping capabilities and extremely high efficiency!
When they sent their troops out of the Bosphorus Strait into the Black Sea, a long line of transport ships waited for them. A quartermaster took a small boat to the command ship of Dou Fame. He said that the transport ship contained ammunition and fire bombs, and it was specially strengthened. Their!
...
With battleships and cruise ships escorted, the transport fleet travels on the Black Sea.
Although the coastal countries and tribes have little naval power that can threaten them, the South China Army still dare not take it lightly after tens of thousands of troops have been transported.
Accompanied by battleships, cruise ships went forward for reconnaissance, and the sea was calm and there were no enemies.
In front of the huge fleet, there is a cutting-edge cruise ship called "Kaohsiung 136" with two pilots from the Crimean Khanate on it. They are responsible for piloting and guiding the fleet into the correct course.
The two pilots were conscientious and did not dare to be too late.
Because they found that the Chinese crews are skilled in business and know the waterway very well, and they can actually reach the destination without them even leading.
They also noticed that even merchant ships carrying the Chinese flag were driven aside for safety.
This is not that the cruiser is idle and doing nothing, but the combat regulations stipulate that it must be implemented.
Since the establishment of the South China Army, strict operational regulations have been formed. They will not change with the changes of the main generals. They will only proceed step by step. Even the emperor cannot easily change it!
So the fleet arrived in the coastal city of Taganrot in Crimea without hindrance, and landed there, and the Great Khan Muhammad Gly IV welcomed him!
He offered salt and bread to Dou Mingwang, Ma Bao, and the officers and soldiers of the South China Army, and said emotionally: "In our grassland, you are the most distinguished guests!"
"For our friendship!" Dou Mingwang was serious and authentic. As an old smoker, he smelled the scent of smoke from King Gley IV and immediately offered a cigar, saying: "This is given to me by our emperor, you Have a taste!"
King Grey IV took the cigarette without hesitation, making the waiter beside him anxious, because no upper person should eat food from unknown sources.
Dou Mingwang took the opportunity to light his cigarette personally, and the small golden thing he used to light the cigarette suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
lighter!
Press and hold it to light the fire, use it to light a cigarette, and slap it back to extinguish the fire, very cool.
In ancient times, it was troublesome to start a fire. First it was to drill wood to make fire, and then flint was used to make fire. In many cases, a large fire was lit. The fire was constantly put in new fuel to last for a long time, and then a small fire was used to do something. Such as lighting up cigarettes and setting off rockets.
The Chinese use fire-folding paper, the principle is to use very rough earthen paper to roll into a tight paper roll, insert it into a bamboo tube, then light it, and cover the ventilated lid. In this way, there is no flame, but a red dot can be left, like a smoking spark, which faintly burns and can remain unextinguished for a long time. When you need it, pull off the lid and blow gently on the fire folder to reignite it.
After the flintlock was widely used, by pulling the trigger, hitting the flint, hitting sparks, and igniting the gunpowder. As a result, in the middle of the seventeenth century, Baipi invented the first tinder pistol inspired by the military flintlock. The lighter became the first mechanical device used to make fire in human history, and many historians and collectors believed that it was the earliest lighter.
The influence of tinder pistol lighters has continued into modern society. The most obvious evidence is re-modernization. There are still manufacturers producing lighters that resemble pistols, the so-called fire with guns.
So it can be said that the "tinder pistol lighter" is the first generation of lighters and the origin of the lighters.
Early flintlock lighters were in very bad condition. They often failed to ignite, had poor fuel, had poor safety, and were easily blown out by the wind.
Yan Changwu has nothing to do when he is full. If he is not fighting, he will make some small inventions. The improved flintlock lighter is one of them.
Because he has gasoline and kerosene, he has so many oils anyway. If one doesn't work, he can change it. There are also whale oil and palm oil, mixed to use, and the experiment will be successful!
The ignition device has been improved, the ignition rate has been increased, and it has become a lighter composed of a metal shell and a top cover fireproof structure.
In fact, he provided the ideas and the invention made by his scientific and technical personnel, but he brazenly attributed the invention of the lighter to his name...
Seeing that Da Khan was very interested in his lighter, Dou Mingwang gave his lighter to King Gley IV and taught how to use it, telling him: "This is a golden shell given to me by our emperor, with the emperor on it. Dragon seal logo!"
The lighter is very exquisite, and Gree IV can't put it down, hitting and hitting, his courtiers are quite helpless!
Not doing business in front of foreign VIPs~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Shame!
However, Dou Mingwang had a gentle complexion, and he never looked down upon King Grameen IV. On the contrary, he enthusiastically admired and played with a lighter, lit a big cigar and smoked with him, and let King Grame IV taste the cigar bestowed by the emperor!
Smokers are the same, one is a good smoke, and the other is a lighter!
Yan Changwu knows how to buy people’s hearts. Gold lighters like this dragon pattern are rare and limited editions. Only his important ministers can bestow them. Of course, those important ministers have a lot of face. You don’t have to make yourself like a nouveau riche with all ten fingers. For the ring, take out an imperial lighter, slap it on fire, and spray out a smoke ring, it's so windy!
The other ministers said, "We also want to smoke, and we also want dragon-patterned lighters!"
Mr. David said with a smile: "Your Majesty's move has pushed up the pig's P by several percentage points!"
In the past, the salt industry made a lot of money. After the two Chinas promoted the reform of salt affairs, salt became a necessity for the people. It was sold at a fair price and the salt tax was becoming less and less.
But the court is not at all worried about the absence of taxes, because the three luxury goods of sugar, tobacco, and alcohol have suddenly emerged, and the tax collection is soft!
They are not necessities of life, but the people are living well and are consuming sugar, tobacco and alcohol. This is the reason why the taxation of the two countries is increasing!
Nowadays, a lighter instantly draws closer the relationship between the smoker Gladys IV and the smoker Dou Mingwang. When Dou Mingwang and Gladys IV are in the same city, they invite each other, please smoke, and Dou Mingwang invites Glen IV Smoking cigars, King Glen IV asked Dou Mingwang to smoke a shisha. The two suddenly became good friends and enjoyed themselves well.
When the second prince Yan Yu heard about Dou Fame and Grameen IV in Xiping, he admiredly said to Chief of Staff Zhang Jiayu: "Zhang Qing's house, did you think about it from the beginning?"
