MTL - I Built a Territory in Ancient Times-Chapter 186 Festival

Thinking that they could save it, they saved it, so they burned it with firewood. "

Ming Yu is talking about coal, because the research of the artisan workshop is inseparable from various experiments, and there are also forging and the like, which requires a fire. Ming Yu transformed the calcining furnace of the craftsman into a blast furnace, which is very convenient to use. However, the forging of many things requires high temperature, and the temperature of the firewood is still not up to the requirements.

So Ming Yu ordered the people who were sent out to look for various minerals early, and told them to pay attention to this dark stone, that is, black coal.

Fortunately, although the land in Liangzhou is barren, it is rich in minerals. They surveyed Liangzhou Quanjing and found several iron mines. Coal mines are rarely found because they are deeply buried in the ground. Fortunately, they still found a place with such black stones on the exposed surface.

Even so, due to the long distance, the collection is not very easy, and many are buried underground. The craftsmen know that it's not easy, so generally they won't use this thing unless it's really important.

Now that the prince has mentioned this issue, everyone has a clear understanding. Could it be that the failure of the cement development is due to the heat? It's not impossible. Heat is very important for forging. For example, metallurgy and iron smelting, as well as the steelmaking that Wang Ye said, all require high temperature. It seems that their initial focus was wrong, resulting in no results.

Figured this out, everyone jumped up and wanted to try.

Huang Lao couldn't wait, and stood up first, "My lord, the villain will go back and prepare for the experiment again."

When his words fell, others also stood up and said goodbye, and some even trotted out before they could say goodbye.

Watching people go to the empty meeting room for a moment, Ming Yu raised his forehead. This group of people are really workaholics, and they don't want to waste a minute and a second. If there is no bottleneck, I am afraid that they will not be able to gather in this conference room, and they are still working hard in the laboratory at this time.

However, Ming Yu is very pleased. It is the invention and creation of this group of people with a spirit of research that gives Ming Yu the confidence to truly fight against the barbarians, and to build the future Liangzhou as beautiful as he imagined.

Time flies, after half a year of working without his feet on the ground, like a spinning top, the heart that Ming Yu has always been carrying has finally let go.

The defense measures of the Xiqi Corridor went well. With the high-strength cement input, the passes, city defenses and roads were built quickly and smoothly. And its level of sturdiness is unparalleled.

The human and material resources of the entire Liangzhou are centered around the Xiqi Corridor, which has made a qualitative leap in the construction of the Xiqi Corridor. As long as the defense measures are built, Ming Yu will no longer have any worries.

At first, Ming Yu was afraid that the Suixi Kingdom would come to make trouble. As long as the Yi people sent a large army to the Xiqi Corridor, their losses would be immeasurable. It is even more impossible to successfully build a defensive pass.

Xie Yixiu's team harassment plan was also very successful. A team of more than a thousand cavalry troops ran rampant on the Suixi grassland. They only brought a small amount of dry food when they set off, and each person was equipped with a lot of combat preparations, essential crossbows, and clairvoyance, armored steel knives, and thunderbolts and improved versions of the cockroach.

It is this kind of equipment that gives the Suixi royal court a headache. It's not that they didn't have the idea of ​​destroying this team, and they also sent a large army to kill them.

But this team, for some unknown reason, always predicts that the enemy will be one step ahead. Whenever they get their whereabouts and go to chase and block them, they seem to be able to see through the deployment of their own troops, and the traps they spend time setting have never been successful.

But when the team encountered them, they did not avoid it, and they fought head-on. These people were well-equipped and had strange combat weapons in their hands. When his own men and horses met, they all failed miserably.

This left them with nowhere to go. Thinking back then, when their team invaded Dayan's borderland, burning, killing, looting, and showing off their power, they were so unhappy. Well now, the Dayan Hongpao Army will use its own way to treat its own body. A team of men and horses invaded and encountered a gathering place of herdsmen. They still had revenge and revenge, and slaughtered those that could be slaughtered by cattle, sheep and horses, and taken away.

The herdsmen who got the news had no choice, they didn't dare to take the risk. In case of encountering this group of evil spirits, without the livestock, they would not be able to survive the winter. Where they dared to stay, they migrated towards the royal court in the depths of the grassland. They could only count on the royal court to protect them.

Helian Bo's teeth were itching with anger, and the officials in the royal court were all overwhelmed. It was unimaginable to encounter such a team. A large group of people was sent out, and not even a single shadow of the group was seen. But they find weak starters, and they can harass them from time to time.

How does this make them deal with it? Everyone discussed it for a few days and couldn't come up with a clue. When were they so frustrated? Come to think of it, since Helianbo became the general king of the left, he was useless, and he couldn't even deal with such a small number of troops. When King Hunle was on the left, where did such a scene occur?

Everyone remembered how good Tuoba Ren was. Although they didn't dare to question Helian Bo in front of him, they couldn't help complaining in private. When it reached Helianbo's ears, he was so angry that he wanted to slash these wastes with his hands. What else would these people do besides chew their tongues? A bug that only knows pleasure.

Tuoba Ren frowned. It's not that he hasn't heard of these things, but that he is not in his position and does not seek political affairs. He lived a secluded life, seemingly living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and the purpose was just to paralyze Helianbo.

Song Lian had already contacted Wang Rongsang, the general of the right department, several times before. Although there was some progress, how could it be easy for Rong Sang to sit in the position of the general king? He just hung him tepidly, neither refusing nor agreeing.

This made Tuoba Ren a little anxious. He also knew that this old fox was fighting for the best interests, so he had no choice but to follow. Just dragging it on like this, he was afraid that Xiqi Corridor would be built and perfected day by day, and then he would miss the best opportunity. In the future, if you want to attack the Xiqi Corridor, you will have to spend a lot of time and lose your troops.

He also mentioned this to his eldest brother Tuoba Hongze. Obviously, this matter did not attract too much attention in the royal court. It was discussed in the imperial court, but in the minds of most people, that part of Xiqi Mountain is a place they have abandoned. Even if Dayan occupied that place, what use would it be?

With this energy, it is better to think about how to exterminate the team on the territory of Suixi Kingdom. The people of Suixi were full of grievances, and it was business to appease them first.

Tuoba Ren hated these short-sighted people, who only cared about the present, but did not know that the real threat in the future was the Xiqi Corridor occupied by Dayan.

However, others are weak and idle, and no one will pay attention to their opinions. We can only hope that the construction speed of Dayan Frontier will be slower, and it will not be possible to form a scale within a year and a half.

"Rongsang still refuses to let go?" Tuoba Ren turned to ask Song Lian.

He handed over this matter to Song Lian to hand over, and when Song Lian came over today, Tuoba Ren asked.

Song Lian handed over, "The conditions have already been given, but he also has a condition..."

"What conditions?" Tuoba Ren asked.

Song Lian pondered for a while, then said cautiously, "One, cultivate and teach Cha Cha Qi and the children of the clan with your heart. Two, obey his orders, you can give a position of commander of a thousand, otherwise you won't talk about it."

"How unreasonable!" Tuoba Ren squeezed his fists tightly, and he couldn't help coughing a few times in anger.

Think of him as a dignified king of Suixi Hunle, a former general of the left, who led an army. When was he so ridiculed? A commander of a thousand, that is, can only lead a thousand troops, what is the use of his calculations? There is nothing wrong with teaching and training the children of other clans.

But to a centurion, isn't it a slap in the face? Sending beggars is more than that, right?

"My lord, the conditions are a bit harsh. No matter how hard you try to fight for him, it is impossible to hand over all the power. After all, he still has to fight for the interests of the family, and he has to keep the military power to restrain the lord." Song Lian said very objectively.

This is also impossible, who said that the prince is begging others now? Without military power, he is nothing. Since Rong Sang can put forward conditions, it shows that he still values ​​Tuoba Ren's ability.

Tuoba Ren also thought of this, and finally calmed down, closed his eyes and said: "Forget it, you go and tell him that the minimum number of troops should not be less than 5,000. If there is merit in the future, all the credit will be attributed to the right army. ."

"My lord, it's too unfair to you." Song Lian couldn't help but feel pity. In this way, wouldn't she be making wedding clothes for others?

"There is nothing fair or unfair in this world." Tuoba Ren sneered, "If he agrees, even this king can compete with Helianbo even with these five thousand soldiers. He is incompetent against Dayan. The people and horses are driven out, this king can."

Song Lian's heart froze, "Your Highness means that you want to take the invading team on your body?" Seeing Tuoba Ren nod, he thought: "I heard that there are many strange things about this team, not only can you guess it The movements of our soldiers and horses, they still have the kind of thunder-like things in their hands that we encountered last time."

"That's why this king wants to meet them. There is a saying in our grasslands that where we suffer, we must find it back. Last time they were unexpected, and we were unprepared for it.
