Chapter 683: Finding Oil
"So miscellaneous!" Huo Quzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
With such a mixed army, it is extremely difficult to communicate with the unit.
Wei Qing threw a big problem to him.
Huo Quai's personal guard said:
"General, I'll go to the governor to ask for 800 people again, how can such a force go out to fight!"
"Wait!" Huo Quzhi shouted to the guards with his hand, and then shook his head lightly and said:
"No, if we go to him like this, won't we let others look down on us and say that we are picky."
"But general, this is too ......" The guards were extremely unwilling, Huo Qu was also a five-grade general, and he was also one of the best masters in the empire.
The generals are all in the pre-pull sequence.
Forget it for 800 soldiers, and give it back to a group of miscellaneous troops.
"Hahaha, in fact, it's not, it's good, mixed with miscellaneous advantages, if it's in the hands of others, they are waste, in the hands of my Huo Quai, then they are treasures!" Suddenly, Huo Quzhi laughed, and everyone was very puzzled.
Huo Qubing did not explain, but asked people to gather eight hundred soldiers, because he had something important to announce.
…………
"Yes, this Huo Qubing still has a backbone, he didn't come to me for a theory, it seems to be a manufacturable material!" Wei Qing didn't come to make trouble when he saw Huo Quai, but accepted the eight hundred soldiers and started his own training.
Recognized as a person who does practical things.
Nie Gai on the side hugged his sword in his chest and said: "Dudu, Your Majesty has a saying, Huo Quzhi is a genius, self-taught, and in the future, he is a person who can shock the West or the grassland." ”
"Oh! Your Majesty, with such a high opinion of this kid, it seems that the Pontus Governor still underestimated him. Wei Qing knew that there were not many people who could be praised like this by Ye Qing.
This Huo Qu is so sick that it is worth looking forward to.
I just don't know what kind of surprise he can bring with these 800 people.
Time passed day by day.
The front-line probe returned and sent back the latest situation of the central dog Rong.
Wei Qing immediately summoned the generals.
"The information I just obtained, the Central Dog Rong King has contacted the Eastern and Western Dog Rong, and the three are ready to unite to confront the alliance army of my Great Zhou.
Moreover, Tuyuhun, the westernmost part of the Hexi Corridor, is also ready to move, and may make some moves, so we must eliminate the central dog Rong as soon as possible and disintegrate the three parts of the dog Rong. ”
This time, the task is heavy, the time is tight, the combat radius will increase, and other countries and tribes may hesitate, we need to fight quickly, and then I will arrange the route of the troops of each department, you just do what the governor of Pontus said!; ”
Wei Qing then explained the new emergency battle plan in the sand table.
Until the generals left, Huo Quzhi stood in front of the sand table and said, "Dudu, why don't you have me on this mission." ”
Huo Quzhi was a little dissatisfied.
Give me 800 horsemen and a bunch of miscellaneous husks.
If you don't give me a combat mission now, am I going to stay for the New Year?
Wei Qing said with a smile: "Young man, don't be impatient, I heard Your Majesty say that you are a genius, and geniuses don't need others to assign tasks to you, even if I arrange them, you may not be able to listen."
In this way, as long as you don't affect the overall advance plan of our army and don't disrupt my deployment, you and your elite cavalry can go out and march at will.
The only one is not to be destroyed and captured by the enemy, after all, I can't afford to lose this person in Da Zhou! ”
When Huo Quzhi heard this, he was first overjoyed, he didn't like to be constrained, and if he was fighting, he just didn't have to follow the rules.
Play how you can win.
Then he said: "Don't worry, the governor can rest assured, there are only generals who died in battle, and there are no captured generals in Da Zhou, waiting for my good news!" ”
After saying that, Huo Qu went out sick, and then prepared to go with eight hundred cavalry.
…………
Changan!
A few days after the news of Bu Xiaofan's great joy.
Dianhua received good news from the Ministry of Industry from Shangjun.
"Your Majesty! We, the people from the Ministry of Works, found the kind of oil you mentioned near Gaonu City in Shanggun. "The Ministry of Industry is responsible for iron mining, and now it is Yida, as an old man from Xiaoyao Mansion, Yida is still quite capable.
In a short period of time, he sent a capable man to find the oil that Ye Qing wanted.
Ye Qingdao: "How much, how difficult is mining?" ”
Yi Da smiled: "Your Majesty, this oil flows out naturally, just as it is written in the information you gave, it can be directly drained out."
Accompanied by a combustible gas, the oil is black and viscous, like oil, flowing out of the cracks.
We found a crack fifty miles southeast of Gaonu City, and it should be no less than a million stone reserves except for the estimation. ”
"We also found a rift in the valley a hundred miles west of Nannu City, with an estimated reserve of no less than five million stones, but this place is difficult to mine, and there is a limit to the amount that can be obtained every day!"
A million stones, it's not too much, but it's a lot.
This is inland mining, and Shangjun is a high slope of loess.
It doesn't look like there's a big oil field.
"No, it's enough for the empire for a long time." Ye Qing was quite happy.
Now industrialization is not in full swing, so the use of oil is more of a war.
Refine it and make incendiary bombs.
Gold and stone are combustible, and the raging fire burns everything.
"By the way, Your Majesty, we have received news that there seems to be this kind of oil flowing out of the rock wall of Yizhou Mou Mountain, I don't know if it's true or not, I ordered someone to check it, and I believe that there will be news back soon." Yida thought about it, and reported the news he had just obtained.
"Yizhou too? On the stone wall? Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
How can oil be ...... It seems that some of the oil is in the rocks.
What is shale oil called.
However, the extraction of that oil in later generations is extremely difficult and requires strong technical skills.
So he didn't expect anything from that.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is very divine over there, it should be true." Yida nodded and said.
Ye Qingdao: "Since this is the case, then check it, if it is confirmed, then absorb and save it, it is in Yizhou, and there is no need to ship it back to Guanzhong."
When the time comes, a chemical refinery will be established and digested on the spot, and you will be staring at the oil business, and I will not worry about handing it over to others! ”
"It's Your Majesty, the minister will do a good job, arrange it clearly, and definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." Yida was very moved to reply.
Ye Qing is still the lord and his son.
I still value him and still use him.
This made him, a courtier from the grassroots, extremely moved.
He has not fallen out of favor yet, and he is still remembered by His Majesty.
After Yida went down, it immediately arranged manpower to set up a mining plant in Shangjun, build a new chemical city, and refine oil.
In order to facilitate the transportation of this strategic material, Dianhua had to ask people to quickly build a straight road to Jiuyuan.
Especially this section from Gaonu City to Chang'an.
This section is the most difficult to construct and the most urgent need at present.
