Chapter 55: Recruiting Talents

Li Mulin was arrested by the Ming army and was about to be beheaded, but this Lang Zhong was speechless, and the two apprentices cried so much that they cried and grabbed the ground.

Huang Han deliberately shouted at the moment before the executioner swung the knife to keep people, and now Huang Han is famous, and he is particularly good at speaking in the Zunhua Ming army.

Even when Huang Han saw what war preparation materials to start, the Ming army in charge not only did not stop but also helped to resist, but also helped to pick the fat and pick the thin.

Of course, no one disagreed that Huang Han wanted to leave the lives of the three traitors, and Huang Han was not prepared to spare the traitors easily, so he expressed his stance that he would sentence the three masters and apprentices to serve hard labor to offset the death penalty, and then pretended to be public and private to keep these three people in his own camp.

The three masters and apprentices who escaped death were grateful, and Huang Han generously asked them to bring their families and children, and promised to treat their relatives well.

Li Mulin is a doctor, his family was broken by Jiannu, and the family was coerced to Zunhua, but fortunately he has good medical skills, and he did not suffer much by treating and healing Jiannu.

After being identified as a traitor, Li Mulin was ashamed and unspeakable, in fact, he had healed more injured Han people in the past few days, but when he was liquidated and was about to be beheaded, no one came forward.

Everyone thought that during the occupation of Jiannu, except for the traitors, everyone else was bullied, beaten, and insulted, and life was worse than death, and Li Mulin's life was worthy of death.

Li Mulin didn't know that Jiannu was extremely vicious, how could he be willing to rescue those robbers, but his old mother, wife, four minor children and two beloved disciples were all held hostage, how could he dare to resist?

Li Mulin, who had been waiting for the sword and axe to be added, escaped, and Huang Han took his family in, so he would naturally get this Lang Zhong's lethal force.

Besides, this is not up to him, Huang Han is the existence of the representative government, and Li Lianglin is about the same as a prisoner who has been sent to the army, and it is natural that he has to serve the national army.

Liu Zhilun, who was proud of the spring breeze, was busy arranging defense and instructing the gunners to train, so as not to eat the fruits of victory in his stomach and be beaten by the Houjin army and vomited.

There are 70,000 or 80,000 people in Zunhua City, the old, weak, sick and disabled are basically none, most of them are Han people who are going to be brought back to Liaodong to be Aha, and now these people are able to eat enough after being rescued, and one by one is like a world away.

Jiannu stored the stolen grain in Zunhua, the original hundreds of thousands of stones, although some of them have been transported to the outside of the customs, there are still no less than 300,000 stones, there are money, grain and materials, and there are people, Liu Zhilun is arrogant, and he has the heroism of guiding the country.

The traitors were killed, the property was divided, and now the city of Zunhua is full of victims who were looted by Jiannu, in the case of Liu Zhilun giving a full meal and some labor remuneration, everyone worked hard, and the city defense of Zunhua was consolidated every day.

Liu Zhilun not only had more than 40 wooden cannons in his hands, but also captured more than 20 cast iron cannons of different sizes in Zunhua, including eight Hongyi cannons.

With a strong city, with real artillery, with money and food that can support a year or two, with 80,000 or 90,000 soldiers and civilians.

There are also 10,000 victorious divisions who are determined to fight to the death with the Houjin army to defend their vested interests, and I believe that all the Houjin troops will come here to besiege it, and Zunhua City will not fall easily.

Seven days after taking Zunhua City, Huang Han resigned and returned to Yongping Mansion for a very good reason.

He sincerely told Liu Shilang that his father Huang Yizhou was also a military attaché, and now he was still holding a mountain pass more than ten miles north of Yongping Mansion with less than 100 men and horses.

Jiannu is ravaging the territory of Yongping Mansion, and I don't know if he will attack there, and he is restless every day as a son, and now that Zunhua City is solid, it is time for him to go with the Centaur Club.

Liu Zhilun is actually a real person, he really likes Huang Han, holding Huang Han's hand and can't bear to let him go, Liu Xuande is reluctant to send Xu Shu.

He told Huang Han to try to contact him, and he would definitely try to find a guerrilla general for Huang Han.

Huang Han left, taking with him four or five hundred people, six hundred dozens of war horses, and a hundred fully loaded carriages.

There were not so many warriors, more than 200 were the families of thirty blacksmiths and twenty craftsmen, and forty strong men were coolies assigned by Jiannu to follow the sledgehammer.

These people were basically survivors of the disaster of Jiannu, and Fan Wencheng thought that these able-bodied people were unstable factors, and specially singled out them to work as coolies on the blacksmith stove managed by Qiding.

Huang Han also ate steel rice in his previous life, and in the past few days, he has watched three or four hundred blacksmiths work, and asked them many expert questions, so he has some understanding of the general level of blacksmiths here.

A few months later, no matter how unbearable the Ming army was, the Houjin army that entered the customs would retreat to Liaodong one after another, because they were accustomed to fighting wars and engaging in side jobs after the autumn harvest, and they would take Aha to busy farming when spring came.

The reduction in production brought about by the bad weather in Xiaoice, coupled with the deliberate blockade by Daming, caused a shortage of grain in Houjin for many years, and a bucket of wheat was worth one or two silver when the grain price in Liaodong was the most expensive in the year of the Apocalypse, so the half-grazing and half-agricultural Jiannu also had to grab the agricultural time.

After the Jin army withdrew from Guannai, the land of Gyeonggi would usher in a few years of relative peace.

Huang Han has his own armament and has a certain strength, and it is imperative to open the furnace to make steel, and to make armor and birds.

How many blacksmiths are needed to make steel and make iron? There are ready-made talents here, and most of them are homeless people who have a blood feud with Jiannu, so of course Huang Han has to offer a good price to get some people to take away.

Huang Han selected thirty people from hundreds of blacksmiths, all of whom were thirty to forty years old with exquisite craftsmanship, and their families were not too small.

They all have one thing in common, they have participated in the use of pig iron pouring method to make steel, and can roughly judge whether the semi-crystalline steel baked has been scrapped.

After the steel is completely crystallized, the mechanical properties of the steel can be easily identified by forging, stretching, bending and other soil methods, so as to judge the type of steel.

The Ming Dynasty had the world's most advanced steel smelting process in the 17th century, and the production and quality of steel were the highest in the world at this time.

Daming's iron-smelting technology is also ahead of this era, the widespread use of coke leads to the content of sulfur in steel in a controllable range, the famous Suzhou steel, Fujian iron, nickel cupronickel is the fist product on behalf of Daming's metallurgical level.

Because the quality of Daming steel is better than that of the West, the quality of Daming cottage Franc cannon and Hongyi cannon is better than blue, and the output even far exceeds that of R&D countries.

Most of the forty strong men with sledgehammers are bachelors who have a deep enmity with Jiannu, and the reason why they have become alone is naturally the evil done by Jiannu and Tartar.

When they saw that Lord Huang, who talked to blacksmiths and coolies on an equal footing every day, wanted to take in the family, they all took the initiative to ask to follow, saying that they would have no regrets about becoming soldiers, farming, or continuing to pick up sledgehammers in the future.
