As for steel, if it is replaced by the past, the steel output in the north of the Ming Dynasty will not be enough for war, if someone proposes to use steel to spread on the ground, even if it is the emperor, it is estimated that it will be sprayed to death. But now it's good, the north has basically been pacified, and the military demand for steel is not as urgent as before.

In addition, the use of steam equipment in the mine not only allows for the uninterrupted extraction of stagnant water from the mine, but also increases the speed at which the ore can be transported out of the mine, and the grinding of the ore is much easier with the help of new equipment. Steel production has not really gained momentum at the moment, but the output has increased significantly.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen recalled a piece of information about steel in later generations. The distribution of iron ore in China is Liaoning, Sichuan, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shandong, Anwei and Hubei. Among them, the most famous are the eight major iron mines.

The first in terms of reserves is the Anshan iron mine, which is now under the control of the Ming Dynasty; the second is the Benxi Dataigou Iron Mine, which is also under the control of the Ming Dynasty; Third, and the most important iron ore producing area in the north, is Qian'an Iron Mine, which is located in the northeast of Hebei Province. The area around Qian'an and Luanxian is one of the four extra-large iron ore belts in China, with rich reserves. Later generations have proved that the reserves are about 5 billion tons, and the burial is shallow, which is easy to open pit mining. The fourth place is the Baiyun Obo iron mine, not far north of Baotou, and is now under the jurisdiction of Yang Sichang, the governor of Baotou. Several other large iron ores are not in the north.

Steel is the foundation of industrial development, and it seems that the next focus of Daming is also to carry out large-scale steelmaking. The technical collation and research and development work related to steelmaking should be done systematically.

Thinking of these things, Emperor Chongzhen entered the Wenhua Hall discussion group, sent this decree down, and asked the cabinet and the celebrant to start working on this matter, and the specific regulations were discussed and reported to him.

As for the minerals in the Northeast, Emperor Chongzhen also informed Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Liaodong, of the situation through a private chat with Wei Mulan, and asked him to send skilled craftsmen to step on the points, and the development of Liaodong can pay equal attention to agriculture and mining and steelmaking. As for the matter of Shengli Oilfield, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was necessary to tell him now, so he did not mention it.

After doing these things, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the achievement value in the lower left corner of the chat group, showing that there were more than 10,000 points. From tens of millions of achievements, the land is only more than 10,000 points, in fact, it is less than a month. This time I went south, and I had to earn more achievement points.

Thinking of his own itinerary, in Ying Tianfu, he should be able to harvest a large wave of achievement points! Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen clicked the button to add people, and the journey was idle and boring, so he added people to play.

Ten people were added at random, both men and women, young and old. After adding, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the main chat area and watched the new members of the group introduce themselves.

Basically, the new people who have been added have no characteristics, and the names of the people who are decent will know that they are Han at a glance. In the self-introduction, only one person spoke, which aroused the interest of Emperor Chongzhen.

This person's chat group ID is called Barber Zhang, and I saw him introduce himself in the group: "Hello everyone, the villain's surname is Zhang, Zhang Wu, the fifth in line, this year is already forty and six, the villain's ancestral craftsmanship is ...... in Nanyang"

And so end his words, and then they were broken. When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, his avatar was darkened, looking like this, he should have suddenly quit the chat group, probably someone disturbed him. Chinese in Nanyang?

After getting this conclusion, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became a little interested, could it be that the system knew that he was going to pass through Nanyang, so he began to add members of the chat group over there?

He guessed correctly, at this time, in a hair shop far away in Nanyang, the bamboo curtain hula was opened, and several Xiyi slammed the door while shouting into the store, which immediately startled Zhang Wu out of the chat group.

Zhang Wuzheng was standing behind the counter, and his two apprentices hurriedly greeted him first, but he didn't expect to be kicked to the ground directly by the two Xiyi, and he was grunting in his mouth, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied.

Zhang Wu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked out of the counter, with a smile on his face, bent over, and opened his mouth "Ora".

But the two Xiyi didn't sell it, grabbed Zhang Wu's collar, grabbed him and walked, and then let go of his hand after sitting in the haircut position, and pointed at Zhang Wu again and said bird language.

The two young apprentices were very angry when they saw these two Xiyi treating the master like this, and they wanted to rush up and stop the master behind him. When the other Xiyi saw it, he immediately pointed his finger and spoke viciously.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuyi hurriedly turned around and scolded his two apprentices, then turned around, nodded to the two Xiyi, and hurriedly picked up the haircutting tools.

Seeing that he started to cut his hair in person, the two Xiyi did not continue to have seizures. The two apprentices looked angry and unwilling, but they had no choice but to listen to the master's instructions, and went to the backyard to bring tea and pastries, and waited for another Xiyi who was waiting for a haircut.

After being busy for half an hour, Zhang Wu finally finished giving the two Xiyi haircuts, and when he saw that the two Xiyi were satisfied, he sent them to the door respectfully.

"Master, they haven't paid yet!" A shorter apprentice reminded with a hint of anger.

Zhang Wu acted as if he hadn't heard, and when the two Xiyi had walked away, he turned around, looked at the two apprentices, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

Seeing him like this, the short apprentice was a little misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Master don't be afraid, I'll go find a few people to stop them, and I won't believe that they won't give money!" There is really no royal law! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wu hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "You are crazy, you are still talking about the king's law here?" They are the king's law, do you understand? ”

After asking this, he felt that his two apprentices probably couldn't figure it out, so he sighed again, and then ordered: "Forget it, you guys close the shop first!" ”

With that, he seemed a little tired and turned back to the backyard.

The two young apprentices looked at each other, a little puzzled. However, I still followed Master's instructions and put the door panel on the store, and then turned back to the backyard.

When the two of them arrived in the backyard, they saw Zhang Wu sitting on a Taishi chair, bending over and drinking kung fu tea. When the tall apprentice saw it, he hurriedly walked a few steps and took the tea set from Zhang Wu's hand to make tea. In addition, the short apprentice also hurried forward to help.

When Zhang Wu saw it, he let them do it, and he lay on the Taishi chair, his eyes closed as if he was resting, and he seemed to be recalling some bad memory, and the expression on his face was not good-looking.

After the two apprentices made kung fu tea, when they saw Zhang Wu like this, they couldn't help but glance at each other again, and they were a little puzzled in their hearts.

"Master, will you have tea?" The short apprentice finally lowered his voice and reminded.

Zhang Wu listened, opened his eyes, looked very tired, waved his hand, let the two apprentices sit, and then said in a low voice: "I thought about it for a while, and decided, you two, let's go!" ”

As soon as the two apprentices who had just sat down heard what he said, they immediately stood up from their chairs, their faces shocked, and they felt a little incredible, and one of the short apprentices immediately asked in a loud voice, "Master, why, is it because of those two Xiyi just now?" ”

"Yes, Master, why?" The tall apprentice was also puzzled and asked, "Is there such a thing as being so rude and not giving money?" Again...... Besides, why did we drive us away if we didn't end up doing anything? ”

Seeing that the two apprentices were so excited, Zhang Wu stretched out his hand and shook it, still lying there and said, "This is for your good, leave early, maybe you can avoid trouble!" ”

"What avoidance?" The short apprentice immediately shouted, "If they are so rude and don't give money, do they still want to take revenge on us afterwards?" Is there any reason for this? ”

The tall apprentice was also quite excited, and then said: "Yes, we are not afraid of shadows, how can we be afraid of them coming?" ”

Listening to the words of the two apprentices, Zhang Wu suddenly sighed, first motioned for the two apprentices to sit down, and then he also sat up straight, looked at the two apprentices and said: "In this Manila, these Spaniards are the sky, they can run amok against the law, and it is the law of heaven to act recklessly." How are they here, you two have only been in Manila for a short time, but you should have seen some of them, right? ”

"I'm afraid they won't succeed, we have at least 30,000 people in Manila, right? How many of them are there, two thousand? Three thousand at most, right? The tall apprentice said a little unconvinced.

The short apprentice also nodded and said: "That's it, besides, Liu Da is in charge, there are also many warships, we Mingren, and there are many forces in Nanyang, what are you afraid of these Spaniards?" “

Zhang Wu heard their conversation, recalled what had happened before, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "You are still young, you don't know the cruelty of these Spaniards!" Don't be excited, sit down first, and I'll tell you about the past. ”

The two apprentices listened, glanced at each other, and knew in their hearts what the master was going to say, but the two of them were young, and they had only been in Nanyang for a few years, so they didn't know much about the past, so they listened to the master's words, and listened to the master excitedly.

Zhang Wu's face seemed to be a little sad, and he said slowly: "Counting it, thirty-two years have passed. At that time, it was still the Wanli period, and in this Manila, it was also ruled by the Spaniards. At that time, there were only more than 1,200 of them, while we were 30,000 or 40,000 Ming people, and more than 10,000 merchants alone. It can be said that at that time, the whole of Manila was full of us Ming people doing business, and all the business had to go through our Ming people's hands......"

Hearing this, the two apprentices glanced at each other, feeling very similar to what they were now.

“…… At that time, the Ming Dynasty was suppressing the rebellion of the Japanese Invaders, and the great pirate Lin Feng fled to Nanyang with his men, and his power was very strong, enough to compete with Xiyi, just like Liu Xiang now. Therefore, the Spaniards were obviously wary of us Mingren. They are few in number, and they are afraid that we will rebel and take their rule from Manila. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Wu suddenly sighed, and then said: "At such a time, another incident happened. Zhang Wei, a Fujian man from the Ming Dynasty, said that the Luzon machine is easy to mountain, and the golden beans on it are self-generated, and they can get huge tens of thousands of dollars if they are sent to take it. Therefore, when the Wanli Emperor heard this, he sent Shihe, the king of Haicheng County, and Yu Yicheng, a hundred households, to Luzon to mine gold. As a result, when they arrived in Luzon, they found that it was pure Zhang Wei's nonsense, so they immediately returned to China......"

The two apprentices were young, and although they had heard about the past, the specific details were not clear. Hearing it at this time, the short apprentice couldn't help but be surprised: "This kind of thing, it seems to be about the same, the apprentice came to Nanyang from Guangdong, and he heard such a thing, saying that the money in Luzon is very easy to make!" Who knew that after coming, he would know that it was a lie! ”

"That is, our Ming Dynasty is still thirty taxes and one, and the Spaniards here are ten taxes and one tax, and this tax alone is three times heavier!" The tall apprentice also nodded in agreement.

Zhang Wu listened to it and didn't say anything about it, but still said slowly: "The Spaniards have always been worried that we have too many Ming people and will seize their rule, so they used this as an excuse to spread rumors that our Ming people were about to rebel and cooperate with the invasion of the Ming army. And so, the nightmare of our Ming people on Luzon began......"

At this point, he was silent, as if he was still having a hard time at this time. When the two apprentices saw this, they couldn't help but fall silent.

After a while, Zhang Wucai continued to say in a deep voice: "The Spaniards and the natives surrounded us, and then mobilized artillery bombardment, and then sent troops to kill us. That is, when you meet someone, you will cut it, and if you see someone, you will kill it, as long as it is a bright person, whether it is an old man or a child, you will not let it go. has been killing rivers of blood, and our Ming people are almost extinct here! Nearly 30,000 lives, just a few days, they were slaughtered. You haven't experienced their cruelty, you don't know. When I was young, I was hidden in the cellar by my parents, and I escaped. Alas......"

At the end, he sighed heavily.

The faces of the two apprentices showed anger, and it was only at this time that they understood what had happened back then, thinking that their compatriots were slaughtered by Xiyi and the natives because of a trumped-up crime, which was unbearable!

"Isn't there anyone who calls the shots for us Mingren?" The short apprentice heard this and roared angrily.

When Zhang Wu heard this, he smiled desolate and said, "Who will call the shots for us?" Pirate? Will they care if we live or die? Court? Hehe, the Spaniards finally returned the looted property casually, handed over a few people, and gave an account to the court. For the imperial court, we are people who go to sea to do business, we are lowly people, and the imperial court itself is too busy with domestic affairs, how can we still do our best for our affairs? ”

"No, it can't be, right?" The tall apprentice listened, shook his head and wanted to refute the master's words, but before he could say a word, he was interrupted by Zhang Wu, "The imperial court just verbally threatened the Spaniards, alas, who made us cheap!" ”

Speaking of this, seeing that his apprentice wanted to speak again, Zhang Wu shook his head, his face was a little more serious, and said: "The current situation is very similar to the situation before the massacre, do you understand?" ”
