In the next battle to destroy the Liao State, will Xijing be fought first, or Youyun first?

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and Ah Guda had a headache.

At the beginning of the Jin Kingdom, the upper echelons of the Jurchens still maintained their simple and daring nature. has a good relationship, holds a bowl and drinks, and can pay for life and death; Got rubbing? Say it to your face, or get into a fight. It's just that when you reach the top, huge interests are involved, and it is inevitable that you will have to fight for the high and low in some things.

In order to concentrate his forces, capture the remaining two capitals of the Liao State as soon as possible, and not give the Liao people a chance to breathe, Ah Guda also released Wan Yan Han.

Ah Guta's own sons, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi, advocate fighting Youyun first; Wanyan Zongfu, the son of Wanyan Aqimai, advocated taking Zhangjiakou and going straight to Ulan, completely dividing the remaining forces of the Liao State into three pieces, and then eating them one bite at a time; Wanyan Hanye's son, Wanyan Zonghan, who swallowed the sky with great pride, advocated going straight to Xijing of Liao State and capturing Emperor Tianzuo.

Power always finds its roots, and everyone who speaks in the temple has a large group of people behind them. Wanyan Xiyin didn't speak, just stood there, quietly observing everyone.

There was one more person who didn't speak. Wan Yanchang knew Ah Gu Ta and knew that Ah Gu Da was very impatient with this kind of scene, so he wisely kept silent.

Sure enough, Ah Gu was angry.

In order to go into battle again, Ah Guda rarely eats sweets, and now his body is very fat. In order to destroy the Liao State as soon as possible and lay the foundation of the Jurchens, Ah Gu fought very hard.

With a "ping" sound, Ah Gu slapped on the golden-red dragon chair, and the Jurchen high-level under the steps was awe-inspiring and silent.

"Look at what you guys look like. In order to compete for the merits of the war, there are one set of things in the mouth, where is the problem?! Ah Guta angrily stared at a few Temu and more than 20 Mao Mao Ke, Temu and Mao Mao Ke are equivalent to the Han population of ten thousand household chiefs and thousands of household chiefs, Ah Gu Da, the Jin Emperor said angrily: "The Liao State has not yet been destroyed, and within a few days of good days, you have learned the problems of the Khitan and Han people." ”

"Now in order to compete for war exploits and spoils, do you want to learn from the Liao Dynasty like the court, one thing in your mouth and another in your heart, and I can't wait to step on the head of my fellow clan and climb up?!"

The Jurchen nobles at the foot of the steps were so ashamed that they wanted to drop blood.

Just a few years after coming out of the old forest, the Jurchen high-level can still win the tiger and leopard, and the heart is still simple. The reason for the dispute over the advance plan is that it means competing interests, but it is far from the point of falling into each other's hands.

The Jurchen high-level in the palace still disdain the flies and dogs engaged in by the Liao, and most of them are out of the knife to see who is not pleasing to the eye. If you hit a bone, it's actually too serious.

But Ah Guda had to take precautions.

After becoming the emperor, Aguda got a lot of frightening news from eyeliner from all over the world.

"The Liao State is still there, and some people have forgotten the difficulties of the Jurchens." Ah Gu took a breath, and then said: "Wan Yanchang, your little grandson has been soaking in the Qinglou all day long, I'm afraid he can't pull the big bow, right?" Zong Bi, the new Qingqi person you grabbed is very famous? Zong Han, you didn't take care of your brother-in-law, go back and check it out. ”

Wan Yanchang, Zong Bi, Zong Han and others were sweating, and the others were no better, they all knew that His Majesty was angry.

Wan Yan Chang hated that he couldn't pinch the damn little grandson to death with his own hands, Zong Bi hated that he couldn't cut the Liao merchant with one knife, Zong Han was the worst, he knew that he couldn't keep that brother-in-law. There is a new Mao Maoke, who is also a perfect face, and decided to thoroughly investigate his home when he goes back, and he must not live up to Da Bo's trust.

Ah Guda pulled out the big knife on his waist and shouted angrily: "You, you must remember that the reason why the Jurchens have repeatedly defeated the Liao State is because they are desperate on the battlefield. Rely on it, it's to earn your life! ”

"I'm a big gold, invincible!"

"There are more than 50,000 soldiers in my own tribe, and there are also 50,000 soldiers and horses in Meng'an Mouke of the Khitans, Murwei and Xi, and they can't beat the crippled Liao State? Spread my meaning, capture Zhangjiakou, and then divide the troops into two ways, attack Xijing and Yanjing of Liao, and destroy them in one fell swoop! ”

Ah Gu made a decision to send troops before the year to destroy the Liao State in one fell swoop.

……

The gunpowder of the Great Zhou was unbearable.

Li Xiang got a little bit through his father-in-law's door, the explosion effect was too poor, and it was not as powerful as the ratio he remembered.

Studying the matter of black gunpowder, except for Li Xiang, only Radar and Four-Eyed Boy know.

A long time ago, there were always a few days a month when there would be a "boom" sound in the northeast corner of Bright Moon Castle. Li Xiang really attached too much importance to the top-secret workshop, and of course the Liu family had probed, but they didn't find much valuable news.

Li Xiang makes more money and spends more money. The resources obtained by the two radars are limited, and so far they have not been able to find a good ratio and have not been able to obtain high-purity fine powder, which is understandable.

Li Xiang and his two protégés were busy for a few days and decided to use variable analysis to speed up the search for the best ratio. As for the problem of mass production of black powder, it will only be solved later.

New trade routes in Bianjing are gradually opening, and Li Xiang's income will increase significantly. In order to find the best ratio of black gunpowder as soon as possible, Li Xiang could only grit his teeth and invest, although he felt that it was not cost-effective to invest so much in order to find a ratio.

Having set the next step in researching black powder, Li Xiang came to the weapons workshop.

Carpenter has been called a carpenter for decades, to forget his original name, he and Lei Chenglei blacksmith together, for the owner to introduce the new development of the weapon workshop, "according to the owner's meaning, Xiao Lao'er to the straight bow, single knife, spear, shield of the assembly line to further strengthen, the Zhang family also built a new workshop, specializing in the production of straight bow with arrows." ”

Tang Guohao took the shares, and a month ago, he gave him the method of building a zhajia. As long as the molten iron can keep up, the nail pieces made every month are enough to string up a hundred sets of armor! Ahem, the old Tang was too cunning, seeing that the owner of the village did not mean to make chain mail, he built a small workshop for his own family, specifically to make money from his brother and the young man. ”

"Hah! Anyway. Li Xiang obviously remembered that Tang Guohao, and he had a good impression of the cunning old man, "This is a good thing." As long as there is no prohibition in the public middle school, the villagers can make a living on their own, and the public middle school can not only take more profits, but also allow more villagers to benefit. ”

"Tang Guohao wants to make money? Let him go. The owner of the village wishes that all the Zhuang Ding can wear chain mail or piercing armor, and those young people die more, and the owner of the village can't stand it. ”

The stewards, craftsmen and apprentices in the workshop had tears in their eyes when they heard the owner say this.

Many of them had brothers and nephews in the camp or took turns serving as guards. Although the death and casualty rate of Zhuang Ding has always been very low, they still feel warm in their hearts when they hear that the owner of Zhuang Ding attaches so much importance to Zhuang Ding's life.

Lei Cheng and the carpenter followed Li Xiang for several years, knowing that their owner was not making a show, but sincerely cherishing the lives of the villagers, and sighed in their hearts: It is better to follow the owner of the village, and the goods like Huang Cheng and the others are not the same at all!

Looking at the apprentices on the assembly line, skillfully using the new weights and measures, where the length and width of the knife handle were measured, so as to control the quality, Li Xiang asked happily: "The new weights and measures are in everyone's hands?" ”

"The owner of the village, in the village, more than a dozen core workshops have used new weights and measures. Over there, there are already thirty percent of Honjo's workshops that have purchased new weights and measures. After Lei Cheng finished speaking, his face was a little hesitant.

Li Xiang asked him to speak bluntly, and Lei Chengcai continued: "Over there in Mingyueji, the commander of the Xiang military camp, the county lieutenant, and the inspection or something, all wanted to buy new weights and measures for their own workshop, but their subordinates didn't get the owner's intention and didn't agree. ”

The weights and measures in the shonai were replaced once, and the weights and measures produced after that were more usable. Many people outside the village saw the weights and measures of Mingyuezhuang, and then thought about the many sets of weights and measures with different specifications in Dazhou, and made a request to buy them.

Li Xiang patted the nervous workshop apprentice, motioned for him to continue working, paced to the iron shaft of the waterwheel, listened to the friction of the gears in the trough, and sighed: "The workshop attached to Mingyuezhuang, there are Qinling villages, martial artists, and homeless people, and it is really troublesome......

"That's it," Li Xiang came up with an idea that could solve the problem for a while, "erase all the signs about Mingyuezhuang on the weights and measures." Any workshop that is friendly with the public and can use the Qinling business road and the secret business road can buy a new set of weights and measures in Mingyuezhuang. But no more, got it? ”

"Understood." Lei Cheng replied. The high-level management of Mingyue Village, who was born as a blacksmith, was obviously relieved, and thought: The owner of the village still has a way. There is no large-scale diffusion of weights and measures, and it will not make the workshops close to Mingyuezhuang dissatisfied.

Li Xiang didn't dare to make a taboo.

The Qin Emperor unified the world, the car was on the same track, and the book was the same, opening a precedent for the great unification of the country. Da Zhou's commercial laws are very relaxed, but weights and measures still have special significance, and Li Xiang can't touch this taboo.

Walking to the waterwheel, Li Xiang looked at the water splashing above, and asked Lei Cheng loudly in the loud noise: "First draw the water to the two-story dam, and then put down the water flow and drive the waterwheel." That way, the shafts, gears, and water hammer work well, right? ”

Lei Cheng nodded, "The owner of the village is really talented." The streams in the mountains are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and with a dam to store the water, and then put the water down, the flow is much smoother, and there is no damage to the shafts and gears. Today's gears and shafts are much better than they used to be, and if only there had a dam with a door, as the owner said, the waterwheel would have been smoother. ”

The graded dam ensures the durability of the waterwheel, and the iron shaft and variable speed gear allow a single waterwheel to drive multiple water hammers.

Four-Eyed and Radar teamed up, and after the failure of the trial production of two-point water hammer, they finally came up with a three-point water hammer, that is, a waterwheel through a variable speed gear and hooking device, and at the same time drove three water hammers to fall in turn.

The best waterwheel used by Mingyuezhuang now uses iron shafts and bronze gears, and a waterwheel can drive multiple sets of three-point water hammers, or a set of heavy-duty three-point water hammers, but Li Xiang is not satisfied.

The reason why Li Xiang is dissatisfied with the existing waterwheel is mainly that the bronze gear is too expensive, and it has to be repaired with oil every once in a while, and the life is also very short, resulting in the waterwheel often being vacant. In less than two months, the first batch of bronze gears had to be rebuilt, which was too wasteful.

Li Xiang looked at the two cronies of Carpenter and Lei Cheng, and proposed the idea of studying iron gears, and the iron shaft should continue to be improved.

Copper water is mixed with other metals to make bronze, which can become hard, which is more than 2,000 years old, so the craftsmen of the Great Zhou Dynasty have never lacked the concept of improving metal. Li Xiang is to stand on the shoulders of "Heavenly Creation" and accelerate the progress of Mingyuezhuang's "strange skills and tricks" to save manpower and improve efficiency.

Li Xiang asked about the progress of the lathe again.

In the previous dynasty, there was the concept of ironwork bed, and the carpenter and others naturally understood what the "lathe" in Li Xiang's mouth was. The iron used in lathes, the iron shaft of the water wheel, and the iron gear have a lot in common, and in Li Xiang's mouth, it is to meet the conditions of "super wear-resistant".

The task of improving the dam and waterwheel was handed over by Li Xiang to Zhen Laoshi and Carpenter.

The improvement of iron gears and iron shafts is, of course, the responsibility of Lei Cheng.

The improvement of the lathe is a major project, which requires the joint efforts of new and old craftsmen and apprentices in Mingyuezhuang.
