Daming Military Empire

Chapter 275

In Miyun County to the north of the capital, there is a place called Wuzhi Mountain. Of course, this Wuzhi Mountain is not transformed by the palm of the Buddha, and there is no monkey in it. It is just that the five peaks are arranged in a staggered manner, which is a bit like a human. Just fingers.

Wuzhi Mountain is just an ordinary place in the Yanshan Mountains, and there is nothing special about it. The special place is on the opposite side of it. There is a goblin practicing there, so it is often struck by lightning. As for whether it is a fox spirit, a tiger spirit, or a monkey spirit, it is unknown. In short, the nearby villagers dare not enter the mountainous area.

On this day, Song Yingxing, the official of the Ministry of Industry, came to Miyun County with a team of Jinyi guards and horses. The Miyun county magistrate was so frightened that he ran out of the city to meet him. He is tall, but he is a big celebrity in front of the emperor. If he hadn't just been born as a juren, he would have been promoted to the third rank or even the second rank by the emperor.

However, although he is only a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Industry, when the third-rank officials see him, they will bow their hands and call Mr. Song politely. Naturally, the little seventh-rank Zhima official of Miyun County dare not neglect this one. A monster in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty, so he not only went out of the city to greet him, but also ran to Song Yingxing on his own initiative, bowed his head and said: "My minister Shen Yuanlong, the magistrate of Miyun County, sees Mr. Song."

Song Yingxing was so bluffed that he almost fell off his horse, why is that!He hurriedly got off his horse, helped Shen Yuanlong up, and said politely: "Master Shen, please get up quickly, I'm going to kill Song."

Shen Yuanlong took advantage of the situation and stood up, continuing to say respectfully: "I don't know what the Master Song is doing here?"

What else can Song Yingxing do here? Look for iron mines. The emperor said that people often see lightning splitting trees near the capital. Although he has never heard of it, he can ask someone. In the end, he really asked about such a place. , so he hastily reported to the emperor, wanting to come and see in person.

Zhu Cijiong originally wanted to come here in person, but it was too troublesome for him to go out of the capital. The accompanying guards and Jin Yiwei did not exceed [-]. His fifth uncle and the two empress dowagers would try their best to stop him, but in the end, he could only send a team of elite guards to accompany Song Yingxing.

However, this team of Jinyiwei masters is a bit strange. The weapons they carry are neither Xiuchun knives nor revolvers, but hoes and shovels!
Well, probably when Zhu Cijiong was experimenting with cement, he discovered that people with high martial arts skills were particularly good at physical work, so he sent this team of Jinyiwei masters directly as coolies.

Song Yingxing was a busy person, he didn't have time to greet Shen Yuanlong, so he asked directly: "I heard that there is a place in Miyun called Wuzhi Mountain, do you know?"

Shen Yuanlong quickly replied: "I know, it's in Yanshan Mountain, thirty miles east of the city."

Song Yingxing then asked: "Have you been there?"

Shen Yuanlong really went there, he replied without hesitation: "Wei Chen has been there."

Just go there, Song Yingxing cupped his hands directly and said: "Then please trouble Mr. Shen, you hurry up and find a horse and take us there to have a look."

Shen Yuanlong hurriedly replied: "No trouble, no trouble, Mr. Song, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran to the city gate guard, asked for a horse, and then led Song Yingxing and others to gallop eastward.

Thirty miles of fast horses took about two quarters of an hour, and they arrived near Wuzhi Mountain in less than half an hour, but the horses in the mountains couldn't run in, so Shen Yuanlong went directly to the local Lizheng, deposited the horses, and asked him to find some horses. A strong man opened the way ahead, and the group walked up the mountain just like that.

Fortunately, Wuzhishan is not very far from the official road, so they quickly came to the foot of Wuzhishan. When they reached the ground, Song Yingxing didn't say a word, just took out a pocket telescope from his arms, and looked across the river. Toumu, Song Yingxing excitedly pointed to the opposite side and said, "That's right there, let's go."

After all, he took the lead and walked across the river, and the accompanying Jin Yiwei naturally followed without hesitation, but Shen Yuanlong shouted in horror from behind: "Master Song, you can't go, you can't go, there are goblins on the opposite side!"

Song Yingxing joked without turning his head: "I'm here to catch goblins, didn't you see that I brought so many Jinyiwei masters with me!"

Shen Yuanlong was taken aback when he heard the words, but he immediately followed. It wasn't that he was not afraid of goblins all of a sudden, but that Lord Song's status was too special. If something happened to him, the emperor would never forgive him. Why not? Just accompany him to die!

The river in the mountain is not very wide, and there are many rocks protruding from the water in the middle. With the support of Jin Yiwei's masters, Song Yingxing jumped over after a few jumps. Sometimes I was even more terrified, so I didn't fall into the water.

After Song Yingxing came to the other side, he directly found a place where there were many dead trees, pointed to a dead tree that was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and said: "That's it, dig down along the roots."

The accompanying Jinyiwei masters were also unambiguous, and directly pulled out the shovel and hoe stuck on their backs, and dug around the place Song Yingxing was pointing at, but Shen Yuanlong stood behind Song Yingxing and asked tremblingly: "Sir Song, what do you want to do?" What kind of elf are you catching?"

Seeing that the iron ore was about to be found, Song Yingxing was in a good mood, and couldn't help joking after hearing the words: "The soil produces gold, and the gold produces wood. Under this dead-headed tree, there are naturally iron-headed spirits!"

Ironhead?Is there such a fairy?Shen Yuanlong was taken aback by the intimidation, but he forgot to be afraid for a while, and just stood evasively behind Song Yingxing, watching Jin Yiwei's movements curiously.

The digging by a group of Jinyiwei masters was really fast, and they dug down almost five feet in less than a quarter of an hour. However, they soon encountered resistance, and saw a Jinyiwei master go down with a hoe, "ding" , The place where the hoe was lowered sparked, and it seemed that something hard was dug.

A group of Jinyiwei masters naturally knew what they were here for. After the Jinyiwei master dug something hard, two colleagues with shovels surrounded him immediately, and with three or two strokes, he dug out a stone, which was exactly the size of a human head. Baihu hurriedly held it up to Song Yingxing, and asked respectfully: "Master Song, do you think this is it?"

Song Yingxing wiped off the dirt on it with his hands, took a closer look, weighed it in his hand, and immediately concluded that it was iron ore, and it was of high quality. He couldn't help but excitedly said: If you find it, dig a few more times to see if there is anything below."

A group of guards in Jinyi hurriedly continued to dig down after hearing the words, and naturally more and more iron ore was dug up. For a while, sparks splattered, and it really looked like they were fighting monsters.

Seeing this scene, Song Yingxing quickly raised his hand to stop. They are not here to mine, just make sure there is iron ore below, and there is no need to dig it out.

He personally ran to the façade of the excavated pits and looked through them carefully, and it turned out that they were all high-quality iron ore!
There are broken logs everywhere here, I am afraid that the whole mountain is full of iron ore, this is good, so close to the capital, so much iron ore, directly repairing a railway and even solving the problem of transportation, he said to Shen Yuanlong Blinking his eyes, he murmured, "The goblins are finished, let's go, hahahaha."

After saying that, he turned around and left, those Jinyi guards quickly threw their hoes and shovels into the pit, and followed, leaving only Shen Yuanlong standing there stupidly and muttering: "What iron head, it is obviously an ordinary iron mine Shi, why don’t you pretend I don’t know you? Is Mr. Song crazy!”

When he came back to his senses, Song Yingxing and the others were almost crossing the river, and he was so scared that he chased after him like his butt was smoking, and shouted while chasing: "Master Song, wait for me, wait for me. .”
