Huang Han needs talents and strong labor, he should be promoted again immediately, and with the capital in his hands and industrial workers, it is imperative to make steel.

On the basis of the world's leading steelmaking level, we will continue to improve the open ironmaking furnace in this era to improve thermal efficiency.

As long as the temperature of the closed steelmaking furnace can exceed 1,500 degrees, the molten steel will be transformed from semi-crystalline to liquid, and the quality of the steel will definitely go to a higher level.

With reliable steel, the weight of the cannon will be reduced by much, the ornith will greatly reduce the risk of exploding and extend the service life, and the all-steel plate armor will reduce the weight of the soldiers and strengthen the defense.

All in all, the quality and yield of steel can turn the fortunes of a country around.

The common people in Zunhua City saw that General Huang took in the craftsmen, and many craftsmen came to Mao Sui to recommend themselves, and Huang Han politely talked to the craftsmen who took the initiative to talk about their areas of expertise.

In the end, five craftsmen who used ancestral craftsmanship to polish jade pendants and process jewelry, several craftsmen who fired brick kilns and lime kilns, and more than a dozen craftsmen who made ceramics and glass were accepted.

The main reason for this confidence and bold recruitment of many talents is to make a fortune, not only can afford to raise hundreds of people without output, but also has the capital to invest in steelmaking small blast furnaces and lime kilns, brick kilns, glaze, and porcelain kilns.

In fact, Daming's kiln technology has reached its peak, and the beautiful porcelain is famous all over the world, but the ceramic kiln has not further extended out of the glass kiln.

If the glass is made, it is only a matter of time before the jade craftsmen polish it, and it is only a matter of time before the optical glass is made, and then it will not be far from having a telescope.

How important is it for the two armies to fight against the enemy in advance?

Huang Han's troops can have a telescope at eight times the distance, and the field of vision will be expanded by more than ten miles, and the enemy will be discovered by scouts ten miles away.

Huang Han estimated that the main force of the Houjin army should leave Yongping Mansion and go east to attack Funing County.

Because it is recorded in history that the red gangster personally went out to besiege Funing for four days and did not succeed, since then it is like being cursed, losing the aura of invincibility since entering the customs, and then touching a nose of ash under the small Changli County.

With two small cities successfully withstanding the attack of the Houjin army and holding on, too many prefectures and counties were encouraged, and no city surrendered without a fight, and the clan forces that connected the village to protect themselves dared to confront the Jiannu wall.

The good days of the Houjin army seem to be gone, at this time, the Qinwang army in various places is also gathering more and more, Sun Chengzong has rushed to Shanhaiguan, and Zu Dashou, who fled back to Ningyuan, is dispatched by the old leader, and will enter the customs in a few days to participate in the reconquest of lost territory.

Since I don't want to mix too much with Liu Zhilun's department, it is the first choice to accept it when I see it, and it is the right time to leave at this time, because I am afraid that I will not be able to leave if I want to leave three or four days later.

In a few days, Daishan will take the men and horses to Zunhua, although it will not be offensive and defensive, but if you want to go out of the city, I am afraid that you will be surrounded and intercepted by the Houjin army.

Huang Han not only fished a lot of people, but also a lot of good things, he led 200 horses and 100 carts, loaded with goods out of the east gate of Zunhua.

A hundred handlebars are also the preparatory Aha in Zunhua City, of course those who have relatives will follow, as long as these people go to Jiulitai, Huang Han will not let them leave.

People who have lost their homes can get a job and a place to stand, and they will be grateful to the gods and Buddhas, and they will not be able to leave easily.

Huang Han unscrupulously took the advantage, and the commanders of the other eight battalion leaders inevitably had some slander, and found that this kid left Zunhua and returned to Yongping Mansion on the same day, and all the officers above the hundred general level came to see him off, and there were also thousands of soldiers who took the initiative to send them.

Huang Han's departure also means that he will never share in the many benefits of Zunhua City again, and at this time, those generals and military attaches are happy to form a good fate.

The departing team not only had a hundred carts pulled by two horses, but also more than 500 spare horses loaded with supplies.

The war horses ridden by one hundred and seven ironclad men were all healthy horses from one out of ten, and the blacksmiths, strong men, and handlebars who rode in the carriage each had a Qi knife, a spear with a wooden pole, and a leather shield.

Even the two eighteen or nineteen-year-old apprentices Guo Xiao and Liu Dashou of Li Mulin in Langzhong picked up their swords and guns and rode on their war horses, and they threatened that they could no longer be caught by Jiannu, and they must fight to the death with the enemy, lest they end up with people inside and out.

Huang Han intends to train the apprentices of these two doctors, because Huang Han's team lacks professional medical soldiers, Guo Xiao and Liu Dashou will ride horses and follow the Jin army desperately, and it seems that the potential to become a military medical officer in the future is huge.

These people who followed Huang Han had already been harmed by Jiannu once, and now that they were armed, if they were raided by the Houjin army again, they would surely have the ability to resist.

Huang Han is not worried about security, more than 100 ironclad family soldiers will not be frightened when they are attacked by a Niu Lu Jiannu.

Besides, such a possibility should not exist, because Huang Han knew that at this time, Jiannu was either besieging Funing County, or attacking Changli, anyway, the main force should not be near Zunhua, as long as he avoided the men and horses who came to Zunhua's aid on behalf of Shanchi, there were not too many chances to meet Jiannu's large army on the way home.

Moreover, Huang Han will take every step of the way, Song Pengfei, Yuan Siming, Yang Danian and others will take the best cavalry warriors out of the team for twenty miles to investigate, and if they find that they may encounter a large force, the Houjin army will hide in advance, or simply use the cavalry to flee after a surprise attack to lure the Houjin army away.

Zunhua is about 400 miles away from Yongping Mansion, although everyone has horses and carriages to travel and walk for five full days to reach Jiulitai Village.

Huang Han led the team not only to return safely, but also brought back too many supplies and hundreds of people, which made Huang Yizhou and the villagers who stayed in the shelter stunned and inexplicable.

At this time, it was already the twenty-second day of the first month, and Huang Han did not meet the Zhenghongqi people led by Dai Shan on the road, so it should be that Huang Han's homecoming route was completely different from Zhenghongqi's marching route.

On this day in history, Dai Shan defeated the Ming army on Niangniangmiao Mountain outside Zunhua City, and shot Liu Zhilun, who led the troops, to death on the mountain.

At this time, Liu Zhilun was completely different from the bitter persecution in history who ran into walls everywhere, was demoralized, could not get money and food, and was confused in the wind and snow.

He has a strong city in hand, sufficient money and food, has the pride and ambition to fight for the country, and has 9,000 morale-boosting wealthy troops under his command, and more than 50,000 ordinary people can mobilize to participate in the defense of the city.
