Chapter 133 How Steel is Made

"You want all three? Fengxiao, this is not a brothel, as many as you want." Liu Qing joked.

Guo Jiazhi said that Liu Qing couldn't help being a little curious. His own side only had 5000 people, while the opponent's army had [-] people from the Xianbei and Hun coalition forces, and another [-] people from the Qiang and Hu coalition forces.

Such foreign tribes mostly live as nomads. Although the equipment is average, their horsemanship and riding skills are not bad. They are not composed of peasants like the Yellow Turbans who have no combat experience.

"My lord, since Wang Zhi colluded with Xianbei, he must have a close relationship with him. My lord can ask Qian Ying's troops to capture him in the city, and kill his party members on the spot. The main reason is that Wang Zhi was originally going to be killed, but now Wang Zhi betrayed the Han and betrayed the country, and brought about his own destruction, this is one thing.” Guo Jia explained.

"The Southern Huns raised their troops to rebel against the Han, and went south to attack Hedong, thinking that they had no worries about the future. My lord took down Wuyuan, and then took the Southern Huns' royal court, as if walking on flat ground. Hanging in the West River, it is like a rootless duckweed, how can it last long? The Xianbei army is even worse. They went deep into the Han land from the desert, but they don't know that among the tribes, the king's court has been changed, and now they have lost Wuyuan. , the Xianbei army is like a lonely ghost, if Princess Qianying comes forward to surrender again, wouldn't it collapse on the spot?"

Hearing what Guo Jia said, everyone turned their heads to see the sun. The game between the Southern Huns and Xianbei was a dangerous game. If you accidentally make a move, you will lose the whole game. However, the Kui Tou brothers knew that the Kui Tou was dead and still chose to attack the big man. It can be seen that it is not easy to save fuel. lamp.

"What about the Qianghu rebels?" Liu Qing continued to ask.

"If the Battle of Hedong is progressing smoothly, the Qianghu is no longer a concern. The elites of the Han Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty will gather here. If the Qianghu rebels cannot be defeated, then this Han..." Guo Jia hesitated to speak, very measured Leave room for imagination.

"How about the big man?" Dian Wei asked without thinking.

"With the lord around, nothing will happen to the big man." Guo Jia laughed, implying that with Liu Qing around, the Qiang Hu would not be able to make a fortune. It would be a pity that the good pastures in Yanmen would be empty if the Southern Huns had to shed some blood."

Liu Qing looked at him and smiled.

After the order was issued, the various ministries began to prepare troops and horses, and Xun Yu also began to handle the food and grass matters. Dian Wei took the order to gather strong troops, and Liu Qing left Gan Lai alone.

"My lord called me from Changshan, I don't know what it is?"

"Come and see this thing!" Liu Qing said, took out a large picture, and slowly unfolded it, "I checked the local ironmaking method, first built the furnace and then calcined it, and then dismantled the furnace to take out the iron block. New construction, so inefficient.”

"Isn't this the case for all iron smelting?" Gan Lai said as a matter of course.

"Ordinary small earthen furnaces are smelted, one is because charcoal is hard to find, and the other is because this method is easy to operate, but if you look at this picture, the structure is almost the same as that of a small earthen furnace, but it is more than ten times larger. The outer wall is iron, and clay For the inner wall, some grass powder needs to be mixed in the clay to leave air holes, iron ore and coal are placed from above, and then blasted to support combustion, iron slurry and waste slag come out from below, and this cycle is repeated. This furnace is called a blast furnace.”

Liu Qing briefly introduced the structure of the blast furnace. This knowledge is already a relatively long-term middle school knowledge. Today Liu Qing can't even write out the equation, but he believes that the wisdom of the masses is infinite. They point out the right direction, and other problems can be solved by groping and summarizing in practice.

Gan Lai stared at Liu Qing's picture in a daze, as if he was still understanding Liu Qing's words, it took him a long time before he opened his mouth.

"The lord is really a god!" Gan Lai sighed sincerely, "If this method is successful, Yanmen will become the largest iron-producing place in the Han Dynasty!"

"One more thing, you need to know that charcoal can replace charcoal as fuel, but it still needs to be processed. The charcoal can be heated and dried over a fire. This method of coking has been known by people in Yanmen, and you can spread it. "

It is made of coke, but it is steel!

"My lord is aware of the people's sentiments, and I am willing to worship you!"

"Don't rush to praise, this picture is just a sketch, whether it works or not, you need to keep trying, please remember, you don't need to be afraid of making mistakes, you can make thousands of mistakes, and you only need to be right once, it will be a hundred years The leap." Liu Qing had to look at Gan Lai seriously, and with Gan Lai's intelligence above 90, Liu Qing believed that he was the most suitable person for this matter.

Gan Lai looked at Liu Qing, his eyes suddenly became moist.

System: [Luo Ku] Loyalty has increased by 10%, and the current loyalty is 100%.

Liu Qing shook his head with a smile, "From now on, you will be the Miner Cao of Yanmen County. All coal mining and iron ore mining and smelting affairs will be taken over by you. If you need manpower or money, you can ask Wen Ruo to withdraw it."

"Gan Lai will live up to my lord's high expectations!" Gan Lai hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

"Okay, take this picture and go to Yuanping County, the county magistrate. I have already told him that he will fully cooperate with you!"

"Gan come to leave!"

Looking at Gan's back and forth figure, Liu Qing couldn't help thinking, who were the inventors in the Eastern Han Dynasty?If they can be recruited and coupled with their own "vision and insight", they will surely boost productivity.

It's a pity that all he knows is Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji in medicine, and there is no trace of these two people.

After making arrangements for Gan Lai, I can finally do that thing. As the number of things increases, some things are easy to ignore, especially things that cannot be told to others.

Not long after, Dian Wei called more than 130 people to the open space of the county mansion. Liu Qing stepped forward and scanned the whole thing first.

Not surprisingly, these people are all tall and strong, and they can see that they eat well and train a lot, and they all have red faces.

"My lord, everyone has been brought here, a total of 130 seven people."

Liu Qing stepped forward and saw that the leaders were none other than Wu Ju, Qi An and Xu Lun who had been selected from Yu County.

Liu Qing began to check one by one, and checked more than 30 people all the time, none of them were correct!After Liu Qing saw a few prominent faces, he suddenly realized.

Depend on!Isn't this the group of people from Yu County!

Next person.

Congratulations to the lord for subduing 【Zhao Mian】

Grade: Unknown

Reward: Stamina +0.51, current stamina 63.4.

The next one.

Congratulations to the lord for subduing 【Zong Yu】

Grade: Unknown

Reward: Stamina +0.62, current stamina 64.02.

Two in a row!Liu Qing was overjoyed, and checked down again, the more he checked, the more excited he became.

In the end, after questioning, among the 62 people from Yingchuan selected by Xi Zhicai, there were twelve low-attribute people, who contributed +4.36 stamina and +0.81 force bonuses to Liu Qing, while the remaining Among the forty strong soldiers selected from other places, there are only two of them, with only endurance +0.98.

With such a large gap, Yingchuan's outstanding ratio should be due to Xi Zhicai's [recognition of talent] characteristic, and the strong ones selected through daily training, without exception, have the most outstanding endurance.

Thanks to these low-attribute strong soldiers, Liu Qing's stamina reached 69.36, and his strength reached 92.59.

"Dian Wei, these 130 seven people will be handed over to you for training, and all equipment will be in accordance with imperial guard standards, first-class horses, fully armored, and the two hundred sets of stirrups and horse irons brought by Jun Yi, priority will be assembled!"

When Dian Wei heard this, his dark eyes immediately brightened, and he smiled innocently, one of them followed the lord closely, and only assisted the lord in the guards. Even Chu Yan, who was subdued by him, received five hundred bows and cavalry, but he didn't have his own. The first part, now, finally has it, and it is still such an outstanding fighter.

Dianwei's leadership is not outstanding, but Liu Qing knows that he has very outstanding characteristics. He leads a small group of elites, rushes to resist insults, and is invincible in assault. This battle is against the Xianbei Huns, so let them see——

What a real armored ride!
……

Liu Yan was restless in the mansion. Ever since he heard the news of Zhang Yi's death, he knew that the opportunity to speak up had come.

Liu Hong did not give his clan real power, and he had no room to display it. After being promoted by Liu Hong to Taichang, Liu Yan sought advice from Taixue Dong Fu, and told him his idea of ​​avoiding disaster. Dong Fu said that Yizhou has the spirit of the emperor. , Liu Yan changed his mind.

At this time, Liu Hong should have understood that the assassination system can no longer cope with the current situation of internal and external troubles. Only the unification of local powers can calm the chaos inside and defend against the enemy outside.

Liu Yan looked to the west and shouted: "Come on, prepare the car!"
