Song Beiyun

"I don't understand."

"Someone is instigating the grasslands and the Han people, and the Han people must have been instigated, so they are so angry." Chi Suida pursed his lips: "This matter can no longer be explained, because we can't find out who is among us. Became a traitor to the grassland, but if we do nothing, the grassland will become jerky in the Han and Khitan population."

Ya Chi didn't say a word of nonsense, he just patted his chest with his hands and went out to count the soldiers, but Chi Suida seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, he threw the arrow in his hand, his eyes were full of helplessness.

The strong and strong prairie cavalry were quickly mobilized, and the sound of horseshoes was deafeningly rushing from all directions. They held exquisite sabers in their hands, carried the best bows in the world on their backs, and came screaming all the way on the wind. .

Chi Suida got up slowly, took off his armor and weapon from the wall of the big tent, and walked out of the tent.

At the same time, Xiao Song was sitting at home, because the weather was too hot, he didn't even want to leave the door, crazy about ice making, crazy about cooling.

"You're dead at this step." Zuo Rou was smug on the opposite side: "Look, I finally won you, I'll see how you come back."

"Tell me, the prairie people will have already ordered soldiers." Xiao Song suddenly propped his chin: "How should we fight this battle?"

"Give me the Tiger Talisman, and I'll fight it. I'll make them cry!" Zuo Rou said confidently, "I'm good at dealing with cavalry."

"Machine guns are the best way to deal with cavalry." Xiao Song shook his head and said, "We don't have machine guns, but we have explosives. It's easy to defend and counterattack, so...you will be the grassland, and I will be Da Song, Have a plate."

"You will lose!"

Chapter 606: On July 7th, Four Years

No wonder it is said that external problems are always easier to solve than internal problems. Even after more than 1000 years, external conflicts are usually used to resolve internal conflicts.

The thing about fighting is really simple.After a few days, Song Beiyun and Zuo Rou had rehearsed all the tactics that could and could be used on the grassland, and found that there were indeed many ways to deal with them. Their land tactics did not change as much as imagined. The main thing was to charge in groups. The resulting strategic and tactical effects.

To deal with this kind of group charge, under the premise of leading technology, under normal circumstances, the use of a large number of explosives can disrupt the rhythm of their charge, and a large number of barbed wire and trip mines can also be placed between the infantry positions and artillery positions, so that the cavalry can not get close. will be sieved.

There is also the cement blockhouse. The firing technology of cement is now very mature. The first cement road has been verified in Jinling City for a year, and the effect is quite perfect. Moreover, the bamboo tendon quick fortress was used in the battle of Xixia. It also shows an excellent restraint effect on cavalry.

Song Beiyun is not an excellent military strategist, but he is an excellent resource dispatcher and macro battlefield analyst. Under the premise of excellent logistics support and technological suppression, he has great confidence in facing the impact of the grassland cavalry. Beat the opponent to pieces.

Today, Song Beiyun was wandering around the Chang'an workshop with nothing to do. He saw that many young people from Jinliao were also studying in the workshop. Although they could not enter the core area, their attitude was indeed admirable. It's already July, when you can't live without standing under the shade of the trees, but those people can stand next to the smelting furnace in long gowns, and use pens to record in detail the time and flame of each furnace of steel transform.

The long gowns on them are soaked, but the sweat is still pouring out, and the craftsmen have long been experienced in working in a hot environment. There is a large water tank not far from the smelting furnace, which contains The well water mixed with salt and sugar does not taste very good, but it is indeed very thirst-quenching.

It's just... These craftsmen don't pay much attention to hygiene. There is always a layer of oily stars floating on the water tank, but those young scholars don't seem to care much. I will go out and drink a large scoop of salty sugar water that tastes not so good, and then go back and continue to study after trying to cheer myself up.

Although these people are all from Jinliao and other countries, to be honest, there is no teacher who does not like such students, Song Beiyun is no exception, so when some people covet the core area, he usually turns a blind eye Eye.

Learn it, learn it all.Everyone has learned, and there is hope for the future.It’s just that even if this is the case, the probability of them being able to learn it is scary, because industry is not something that can be learned by opening one’s mouth and eyes. It is a system, and basic sciences such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc. There are also sub-disciplines such as materials, metallurgy, and structure.

Again, these things need to spend time, energy, and money to accumulate slowly, not to say that they can be learned with just a few glances.

He remembers what the lecturer said when he went to the military museum, "The gap in industry cannot be bridged by theory. Products that were born and applied in the United States in the 70s cannot be restored in many countries until 40 years later." moment, because it is all-round crushing brought about by a strong national power."

So far, the workshops in the Song Dynasty are not able to be self-financed, and still need a lot of state financial support, and all the money earned by the workshops has been invested in education. The industrial education system with the workshops as the core has become a system. This year, industrial workers with certain culture and skills, mid-level technicians with considerable culture and skills, and engineers with advanced culture and skills will be exported on a large scale.

After it formed this circulation mode, it was far from being able to complete the inheritance of knowledge by simply relying on teacher-apprentice teaching. This is a unique condition that the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and perhaps even the whole world do not have.

And literacy education also began to gradually enter the fields with the participation of businessmen. Where the imperial power cannot go, money can.These big merchants banded together to put pressure on the gentry to allow basic cultural training for the working people at the bottom.

This chain of progress requires a strong and stable country, an executive government and a power center that is not so disgusted with new things.

That's it, what does Jin Liao use to learn?As Fo Baonu said, she knew what to do, but she was helpless.This sense of weakness and powerlessness makes her more and more like to escape from reality.

Zhao Xing is just the opposite. What he took over was a mess that was waiting to be rebuilt. There were not many things that needed to be destroyed like the Liao Kingdom. Relatively speaking, the Song Kingdom was the weakest of the three kingdoms, but it was the easiest to start innovation. place.

That's why, in just three to five years, Song Dynasty has jumped from the weakest to the most important power, and every breath and breath is earth-shattering.

"Flying!"

A sudden bluff attracted Xiao Song's attention, and he followed the crowd of spectators to the open space outside.

Opposite this vacant lot is the new Daming Palace, which is under construction. Fo Baonu said it was a gift from the courtiers, but she knew it was just a new way for Yelu nobles to make money, but she could only see it and pretend not to see it. .

On the contrary, although the area of ​​Song Kingdom looks like a barren land, it is obviously much more lively than that palace.Because this is the testing ground of the Chang'an workshop, countless people come to see the strange people in the workshop playing with novel objects every day.

And recently, it is precisely the most interesting day, because the big skin they have been tossing for a long time seems to be finally about to take off.

Xiao Song passed through the crowd, and when he looked up, he saw a hot air balloon that looked like it was sewn with rags. Its upper part was already bulging, and even the whole hot air balloon itself felt vaguely erratic. .

Below, a few people who have already sunburned like silkies are pumping air into an iron tank with something like a pump. Every time they pump air, roaring flames will be ejected from the outlet of the iron tank, and in the air Song Beiyun even smelled kerosene.

and many more!

Xiao Song's eyes suddenly widened.

kerosene? ? ?

Suddenly, his heart beat faster. Could this familiar smell really be kerosene?

He quickly separated the spectators at the front, came to the front and took a deep breath.

That's right!It's the smell of kerosene!

His breathing became short, because the appearance of kerosene obviously exceeded his expectations, because the birth of kerosene represented the advent of the pre-industrial age!

And the surge in demand can stimulate the exploration and excavation of oil fields.Of course, this is all secondary, because this is kerosene!

Xiao Song is from the Department of Chemistry, of course he knows what kerosene is, but the reason why he has not developed in this direction before is because there is no foundation is oil, he really has no way to bloom in all directions, he can only choose coke which is easier to prepare .

But he never expected that one of the jewels on the crown of industry was born without his knowledge!

He no longer watched the hot air balloon take off, but rushed all the way back to the School of Chemistry. He kicked open the door, and saw the smoky atmosphere in the School of Chemistry, a smoky atmosphere in south of the Five Ridges.

The most obvious place is that there is a huge metal still in the corner, with a fire on the bottom and glass pipes on the top, and a few people are pouring water into the tank outside the still to control the temperature, and there is a steady stream of water in the tank at the other end. Continuous dripping of brown liquid.

Song Beiyun walked up, put a little bit of his finger under his nose and smelled it.

damn it!It's kerosene!

He hurriedly called the supervisor, and when the supervisor heard that Master Song had summoned him, he thought he had made a mistake, so he came over tremblingly.

"How did you come up with this thing?"

As soon as he came over and heard Song Beiyun asking this question in a hurry, he finally let go of his hanging heart. After taking a long breath, he began to introduce, and he became more and more excited, and finally even began to beam with joy and use his hands and feet together.

In fact, it is also very interesting to say, that is, the physics team of the gang of bastards reported the plan and said that they wanted a very strong open flame.

Take a look at this demand, which is basically no less than ordering a dog at a stall selling roujiamo.What is a fierce open flame?

Since there is no such thing, let's discuss it together. The most violent fire is known to be the fire from coke, but it is not an open fire.Then it is kerosene, but kerosene is considered too heavy by the physics team.

As we all know, the physics group is the father's group, they have to give what they want, and the chemistry group is the second brother, who has to listen to the elder brother.So the guys in the chemistry team racked their brains.

So one day they went to drink a few glasses of wine because the meeting was too late, and suddenly the leader of the chemistry team slapped his thigh: "Let's go and steam the kerosene! "

Steaming fire oil, this is a new topic, but it is not that difficult. They first reported the demand from the smelting team, and customized special-shaped glass tubes. For these odd-shaped glass tubes, the smelting team blow The master of the glass blew out the mumps before he got what they wanted.

Afterwards, they posed a problem to the physics group, saying that it is no problem if you want light and strong oil, and that you should change the distiller to the grandpas.

So the physics group also worked overtime to improve the distiller according to the needs of the chemistry group.

As for whether it can be successful, no one knows, anyway, just try.Finally, they began to distill the black, smelly and viscous kerosene.

At the very beginning, they encountered many problems, such as furnace explosion, chamber explosion, and broken glass tubes. Anyway, they encountered all the problems they could think of.

However, as the number of failures increased, they gradually summed up their experience, that is, temperature control.

So they tried a little bit, how to reduce the temperature of the furnace, and even invited many kiln masters to offer delicious food and drink.

Eventually they began to produce finished products, but they also encountered new problems. The first foreseeable problem was that there seemed to be a lot of things in the kerosene, which made the products impure or particularly flammable and explosive.

Obviously, this can't be used as fuel for flying balls, right? Otherwise, the physics team will be killed a few, and they will come over and try their best.

But this distillation is like this. If the temperature is high, the furnace will explode, and if the temperature is low, nothing will come out.

But the difficulty is the difficulty, and these fun-loving people can't stop them from looking for fun here, so they designed the copper tube distillation method and the graded cooling method, step by step to control the beast of the fire in the furnace.

Soon, they discovered that it was not possible to go from high to low, but it was completely fine from low to high, and the first thing distilled out of this fire oil was this light oil.

Things came out later, but they were too flammable and explosive to be handed over to the flyball team, so the chemistry team was left to figure it out.

"This light oil is good. It can't be extinguished by the wind, the fire is fierce, and it still burns when it touches water. A little bit of it can burn for a long time."

When Xiao Song heard this, his face flushed with excitement. If last year's Song Beiyun Science and Technology Award was awarded to the Tongling Forging Team who made the bolt-action rifle, then this year if there is no accident, the [-] guns will be given Changan Chemical Group of petrochemical industry!

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Song Beiyun was a little stumped when he spoke, then he thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Don't be impatient, I'll find some people to come and make a big change here. By the way, how did you make this light oil so pure? "

"Wrap bamboo charcoal in gauze and put it in, seal it and let it sit for three days to take the upper layer of light liquid."

Xiao Song couldn't help applauding, so excited that he couldn't even make a sound, but kept clapping towards the sky.

Manpower is sometimes exhausted, but there is more than one person in the world.

He didn't say any more nonsense, just patted his thighs and walked out, and looked back at the School of Chemistry, his heart was still surging.

The petrochemical industry finally appeared, and it was not born under the guidance of the traversers, but was born out of some weird needs, born out of a group of people racking their brains, and born out of countless people taking pleasure in it.

When he realized this, Song Beiyun's eyes turned red, not because of a cup of kerosene, but because he understood that this era has finally begun to change, and the seeds he planted almost by himself have finally sprouted and bloomed. flowers.

Fighting against the times with one person's power, why is this kind of thing not worth crying with excitement.

He doesn't want to do anything now, he just wants to sit there quietly and be alone.

The world finally began to move in the direction he wanted. Although he cheated because he was a time traveler, it was precisely because he was a time traveler that he realized how difficult it is to reverse an era and how faltering it is. .

Compressing hundreds of years of development into a lifetime is a miracle in itself, and Song Beiyun is the one who believes in miracles.In a sense, he was already as great as Miracle.

Xiao Song finally couldn't help covering his face and crying bitterly. What he hopes most now is to run all the way to Liao Kingdom, and sit in front of Miaoyan and tell her a whole night.

Chapter 607: Preparations for War on July 7th, Four Years, Song Beiyun

The Emperor Song was furious!We are going to send troops to fight against the prairie bandits!The Golden Horde is not human!They are all a group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!

The market was filled with such voices, and the residents and common people from all over the place gathered together after work to chat about the war.

Hit, you can hit.It is a good thing for the Song Dynasty to shed its shame and clear away the discrimination and humiliation it has suffered in the past century.In the past, the common people didn't care about the disparity in military power. They didn't even care whether they could fight or not. All their focus was on whether they could win or not.

But now they don't seem to care so much about whether they can win or not. They are excited to listen to the passionate emperor of Song Dynasty preaching there. This has never happened before. The emperor should be solemn, calm and elegant. , but today's Emperor Song's eloquent and emotional speech is like a heavy physical battle. He will sweat profusely during the speech, so tired that even his hands are constantly shaking.

But the more this is the case, the more excited the people are, they don't care what the emperor should do, they only know that the current emperor is so energetic!awesome!Cool!

In the speech, Zhao Xing put himself very low, which instead made the people regard him as the savior of the Song Dynasty, and at the same time used various means to convince everyone that these were true.Since the Song Dynasty suffered repeated battles and defeats for nearly 20 years, the people have completely lost confidence in the court's ability.Now with the help and planning of Song Beiyun, a genius on the propaganda front, Zhao Xing worked very hard to promote nationalism and fanaticism, and then strategically softened some radical ideologies.In addition, his promise to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty implicated the people's fury against the government and the court all the time. In short, everything he said was what the people wanted to hear.

People waited for Zhao Xing to speak, full of hope, shouted long live my emperor.However, Zhao Xing never starts right away, but spends a minute waiting for the audience to enter the state with silence and eyes.After he speaks, he speaks in a heavy and slow pace at first.Once he agrees emotionally with his audience, he raises his voice, intensifies his emotions, and makes his point decisively, with gradual fits of outbursts and body language.Even he himself ended up sweating and spitting.A lot of impassioned vernacular content came out of his mouth, and finally brought the atmosphere of the whole situation to its climax.

But just after the cheers like landslides and ground cracks came from outside, Xiao Song squatted in the yard, carefully identifying and classifying the samples taken from the School of Chemistry.As if the frenzy and restlessness outside had nothing to do with him, on the contrary, Fo Baonu became a little restless with his naturally keen political sense, scurrying back and forth like a ghost shadow in front of Xiao Song.

"Okay."

Xiao Song took off his mask, resealed the glass jar, walked to the mouth of the well and washed his hands with alcohol: "I know you are worried."

"Ah."

Fo Baonu is obviously restless. She sees the fanaticism of Chang'an, and it is much more terrifying than the fanaticism of Liao Kingdom. She knows that if such power bursts out, the flames of war will be unstoppable, and will definitely spread to everyone. Liao.

The Liao Kingdom is obviously also in a very critical and dangerous transition period. At this time, they not only need to recuperate, but also carry out internal affairs rectification. Can't live.

The finances will collapse immediately, followed by people's livelihood, and finally the entire court will be in chaos. The originally relatively harmonious areas will undergo independence and rebellion one after another. This is something Fo Baonu can't see.

So her panic now is justified, after all, she didn't know that Zhao Xing was such a lunatic before.

"Okay, okay." Xiao Song wiped his hands and stepped forward, holding Fo Baonu in his arms: "Song and Liao are not following the same route. Don't worry, the risk of war is very low. What Liao needs now is land reform. What the Song Dynasty needs is the innovation of the underlying concepts. And this just needs a mythical emperor, an emperor who can make the people enter a fanatical posture."

"I've figured it out these days." Fo Baonu sat on the stone bench and let out a breath. Her back is so sore these days that she can't stand for a long time: "It's the literacy at the town and village level in your town. How is this possible? accomplish?"

"Of course it's possible." Sitting next to him, Xiao Song took a long gulp of cold well water and wiped his mouth happily: "What's the difference between Song and Liao? It's because Song was driven away by Liao. Losing the time for the rise of the great aristocracy, the aristocratic class has relatively little control over Song, but the power of clans and villages is more deeply rooted."

"I have discussed this issue carefully with people. If you want to send culture to the countryside, what is the biggest obstacle, do you know?"

Fo Baonu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Naturally, reading takes a lot of time, and the common people don't have much spare money to study."

"Then let me ask you, what if all the money is paid for?"

"how is this possible!"

Fo Baonu shouted excitedly: "This is not a small sum."

Xiao Song rubbed her face, of course he knew that this was not a small amount, but in fact, someone would share the money.In fact, there are still fundamental differences between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. The commercial system of the Song people is actually very developed, but now driven by workshops, the overall development direction of industrialization is obvious.

Industrialization requires a large number of workers. Under the premise of a constant population, workers are generally converted from farmers.In order to save costs, merchants will most likely set up corresponding supporting workshops in towns at all levels, which seems like an unsolvable problem.

But it is not, because it is profitable, so in the blending between merchants and landlords, their identities can be freely changed, landlords can be transformed into merchants, and merchants can also become landlords.

In addition, the Jiangnan Xidao farm model has been implemented for almost ten years, and the employment system has become the mainstream. For the newly emerging industries in these years, workers who are completely illiterate are doomed to be eliminated. In the future, literacy will definitely become mainstream.

It is not required to be highly educated, but it must be able to understand the operation manual. This is the requirement for industrial workers in the future.

Under this major premise, merchants and landlords will inevitably train some people.
