Chen Xuan's expression was blank, and Chen Jiong was also a little surprised when he saw it, could it be that he was stupid?

Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't make any moves, Chen Jiong only thought that he was disobedient, and commanded the hidden dragon guards and said: "Come on, take down the rebel Chen Xuan for me!" ”

The imaginary capture didn't take place, and the dragon guards stood still.

"Did you hear it, take Chen Xuan down for me!"

Chen Jiong was dumbfounded, and then thought of an impossible thing!

Could it be that Chen Xuan is already in charge of the Hidden Dragon Guard......

It turned out that he had premeditated......

Chen Jiong, who had stood up slightly because of excitement, collapsed on the dragon chair with a snort, leaning on the back of the chair dejectedly, like a weak old man.

Chen Xuan succeeded in seizing power, but he was not very happy, and said lightly: "Father, I told you a long time ago that Zhao Rui is the progress of the times and the inevitability of history, but you always don't believe it......"

"Bastard!"

Chen Jiong struggled to stand up again, pointed at Chen Xuan, and said to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military: "Don't listen to him, he must have been bewitched by Zhao Rui!" He's confused, why are you also confused! ”

Chen Jiong looked distressed, but none of the ministers in the audience came out accordingly.

Chen Jiong felt powerless to return to the sky, and his heart gradually cooled.

"You'll see why I did it! Qianlong guards, take my father to the palace to take care of it, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the palace! ”

"Yes!"

The Qianlong guards stepped forward together, lifted Chen Jiong up without saying anything, and went to the harem.

"It's over! Finished...... Our Chen Dynasty is finished......"

Chen Jiong was still wailing when he left, but there was no point in doing so.

Chen Xuan closed his eyes with a complicated expression, and then when he opened them, his eyes revealed an incomparably determined light.

"Come on, I wrote a letter asking for help and brought it to Zhao Rui ......"

The Chen Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, Chen Hui replaced Chen Jiong and became the person in power, and at the same time, it is strange that the custom of Emperor Taishang taking power has not been passed down, and Chen Xuan did not make his son the emperor, he himself is the emperor, but some titles are the same.

Zhao Rui didn't know anything about this, and was conducting experiments in the smelting workshop.

Now the converter has been successful after many experiments, and the difficulty is the material used to manufacture the converter, which is really difficult to choose because of the heat resistance and load-bearing.

In the end, according to the introduction in the book, I found a suitable fire-resistant sand and covered the inner wall of the converter with high-quality iron.

Now it's time to start steelmaking, and Zhao Rui is excited.

There were a lot of people around him, all of them were the blacksmith team of Velu and them, and it could be said that the production of the converter now was inseparable from their efforts day and night.

In addition, many students of Zhao Rui came to visit to see the perfect combination of books and reality.

The blast furnace is burning hot, even in a semi-open-air production environment, which still makes everyone sweat.

Velu looked at the sun and shouted, "Okay, it's time, release the molten iron!" ”

At the end of the channel is a converter with a converter arranged under the channel, and there is a conveyor under the channel, which can completely catch the flowing molten iron.

The first furnace is full, then the second furnace, and the third furnace......

As the track turned, all three converters were filled with molten iron.

"Infuse gas!"

With the shouting of Wei Lu, the three large wind boxes next to him operated at the same time, snorting and snorting.

With the addition of limestone, impurity compounds appear on the surface of the molten iron.

It is then converted into molten iron and molten steel, which is injected into the sand mold.

There is no hot rolling equipment, so this is the only way to do it.

After cooling, Zhao Rui found a hammer and slammed the steel hard, it was very good, there was no big depression, and the steel of this furnace was successfully refined!

"Whew!"

"It worked!"

"Great! It's done! It's done! ”

Behind Zhao Rui was already cheering, and after a long period of hard work, they finally practiced hard carbon steel. Such steel can be used in industrial parts, is strong and durable, and there is no need to worry about cracking of pig iron castings.

At the same time, Zhao Rui also made parts molds for the Makqin machine gun, and in order to improve the success rate, many molds were used for each one.

Moreover, there are also parts required for the steam engine, which are also poured in the steelmaking process this time, and can be used perfectly after the later grinding and adjustment.

Velu and the others were also excited about the steam engine, and when it cooled down, they smashed the clay mold and went to the assembly experiment.

Zhao Rui was more interested in the Makqin machine gun, and told the students to go back with a large push of parts.

These parts can only be used after their own polishing, but Zhao Rui's mood is almost as successful as the production, the steel has been refined, and the rest of the things are a matter of course.

Before Zhao Rui could calm down and study, someone outside reported that the messenger of Jiaozhi had come.

Could it be that Chen Xuan had made progress, and Zhao Rui walked into the courtyard with a smile.

The person who came was a little familiar, but Zhao Rui couldn't call his name, this person saw Zhao Rui come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, this is the letter that our emperor brought to you!"

Zhao Rui took the letter and read it carefully, and as expected, Chen Xuan took over the seat of power. And the main meaning of the letter is to let Zhao Rui send troops to resist the attack of Angkor and Champa.

After Zhao Rui received the letter, he returned directly to Dabaocheng and took Zhao Gong, Xiaoyi, and Arjuna to Shenglong together. He was accompanied by five thousand mixed musketeers.

There are some things that are not clear on the letterhead, and you may have to talk about them in person.

Zhao Rui led his troops straight to Thang Long, because the road was far away, and he rested overnight in Hulang and Bac Giang Mansion, and did not arrive at Thang Long until the third day.

Chen Xuan should have gotten the news and appeared at the city gate early to greet him.

The ministers below and the onlookers were all surprised, thinking that the emperor was too grand to welcome an outsider and go out of the city?

When Chen Xuan saw Zhao Rui coming, he was excited, and he was about to kneel and bow in front of everyone.

Zhao Rui was guarding against this, and hurriedly held him up when he saw his body sinking.

The main reason is that Zhao Rui still doesn't want to be the emperor of Jiaozhi, and Zhao Rui still doesn't have the heart to take care of some political affairs.

received Zhao Rui, Chen Xuan welcomed Zhao Rui to the palace.

After sending the people around him, Chen Xuan knelt down again, Zhao Rui didn't stop him this time, for Jiaozhi, this kneeling is worth it.

"Fortunately, I finally got the imperial power, and I asked the prince to take charge of the country!" Chen Xuan knelt on the ground and said solemnly.

"Hurry up! That's too serious! Zhao Rui helped him up again.

"Originally, I didn't plan to be an emperor, and you are responsible for the daily government affairs, I just wait for a large number of steam engines to be ready, and then come to Jiaozhi to arrange factories, after all, this is the Red River Delta, food is not worried, and there is also a large population, which is just suitable for the development of industry, and the current situation is still to vigorously develop agriculture to ensure that industry can be supported under the condition of food abundance." Zhao Rui told Chen Xuan about the future development.

Chen Xuan is now obedient to Zhao Rui, and said: "Yes, everything is arranged by the prince!" But now the west and south are under attack by the enemy, the situation is precarious, and the help of the prince is needed! ”

"Well, I'm here to solve this matter, but I still need some arrangements......"

At Zhao Rui's suggestion, Chen Xuan made Zhao Rui the imperial master.

Then he used Zhao Rui's status as a prince to issue a truce to Angkor and Champa, to the effect that Jiaozhi is now under Zhao Rui's management, so that both countries will cease fighting, otherwise they will be counterattacked or something.

The truce book is mediocre, but the information that Zhao Rui joined Jiaozhi is as lively as hot oil with water droplets added to it.

Angkor and Champa were a little stunned, they thought that Zhao Rui might conquer Jiaozhi and establish himself as king, but they never thought that Zhao Rui would drive people down, although Taishi is a position above 10,000 people under one person, but it is also under the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, judging from their understanding of Zhao Rui, how can it be!

By the way, it is also possible that Zhao Rui received some great benefits?

So Angkor and Champa were a little red-eyed, after all, they had been fighting for many years, and many people had died, and they had never seen too much benefit.

Zhancheng can be better, after all, they know that the power on Zhao Rui's side is not to be underestimated, if Zhao Rui's military strength is combined with Jiaozhi, it is likely to pose a huge threat to Zhancheng.

As a result, although Champa was dissatisfied, under the careful consideration of their king, they still stopped the attack, but the occupied Nghe An Province was not returned.

Zhao Rui doesn't have any strong requirements for this, after all, people are also contributing, and they can't be too harsh on this, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble, it's not a matter of being afraid or not, the main thing is that Zhao Rui wants to deal with the matter here, and then study the steam engine and firearms.

And Angkor's reaction was completely different, although he also asked Zhao Rui for benefits at the beginning, and after getting a negative answer, he was even a little angry.

Angry Zhao Rui is not authentic, how can there be benefits and I don't know how to distribute it, so under the instruction of King Angkor, the war is still going on, and even more troops are sent to defeat Chen Chao and Zhao Rui together!

Zhao Rui was not surprised at all when he got such a reply, pulled the team, and went to Tuojiang Town with artillery.

The geographical location of Tuojiang Town is very close to Thang Long City, and if there is a breakthrough here, the Chen Dynasty will be in danger, so Chen Xuan has deployed a large number of troops here.

But Angkor's advantage was not only the elephant soldiers, but they also made similar return cannons to catapult megaliths to attack the city, as the Mongols did, which contributed to the aggravation of the situation to a certain extent.

By the time Zhao Rui felt Tuojiang Town, the city walls here were already dilapidated, there were many wounded, and the morale in the city was sluggish, and there was no hope.

But Zhao Rui's soldiers were strong and strong, and after they arrived, they injected new vitality into Tuojiang Town, especially the artillery, which made the Jiaozhi people come forward to check on them one after another, imagining what kind of power such a stout cannon should have!
