Chapter 132: Large Molds
After Yang Wenli sent away the two fleets, he felt that there was not enough time, so he decided to do some preparatory work in the early stage first, but before that, he had to arrange some things well, otherwise he couldn't devote himself to research.
"Liren, call the two brothers to go and find the two Banner Lords." On the way back, Yang Wenli instructed Yang Li beside him to be humane.
"Yes," Yang Liren replied and went to arrange.
Facing the cold wind, Yang Wenli stomped his feet when he returned to the Commander's Mansion, Liaodong was really cold enough, it was only in November, it might have been more than ten degrees below zero, he felt that his feet were numb, as if overnight, after a cold wave, it became so cold, which made him, a southerner, extremely uncomfortable.
Because it was too cold, Yang Wenli didn't dare to sit down, he kept walking around in the hall, and after waiting for about a pillar of incense, Yang Rentian and Yang Renyue came together.
The two of them first bowed respectfully and saluted, and then rubbed their hands together, and the qi that came out of them was a burst of white mist.
"The weather has suddenly become cold, and the brothers must do a good job of keeping warm from the cold, do the brothers have warm kang to sleep on?" Yang Wenli was concerned and confused, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Great Commander, in this ghost weather in Liaodong, where can you not sleep on the warm kang? It was enough for the brethren to squeeze into sleep. Yang Rentian's answer was also full of complaints about the climate in the northeast.
"Hmmm! I'm relieved, but the weather is getting colder, and the training must be hurried, and the sea is usually frozen at the end of November in Liaodong, and Jiannu will definitely come here to check it out. Therefore, the two places of Nanxunkou and Beixunkou should arrange people to be on duty around the clock, and Jiannu should not be allowed to go to the island after touching the cold.
So be it! Each of you brothers is responsible for the security of one direction, and the future attacks and defenses will be in that direction.
If Jiannu came on horseback, and couldn't shoot arrows in windy weather, you have to find a way to set up a horse rope, can't let Jiannu let the horse gallop, the infantry will definitely not be able to fight the cavalry, if you can shoot arrows, you have to shoot people, try not to shoot horses, we came to Liaodong for horses, you know? Yang Wenli did everything in detail, and carefully told the two of them.
"Remember it, and we will do it." Yang Ren nodded back on behalf of the two.
"Commander, my subordinates are afraid that the weather will be cold and they will not be able to catch seafood, and the brothers will be in trouble if they have no food to eat." At this time, Yang Renyue raised a new question. Here in Liaodong, there are no livestock and poultry, and they all rely on things from the sea, but there are many varieties of seafood, and they are eaten in rotation, and the brothers are used to it.
"Huh! This is not a problem, first, we can dig ice fishing, the catch will only be more, not less, second, the strait is frozen, it is time for us to attack, as long as the weather permits, and there is no strong wind, you have to attack everywhere, to rob the cattle, sheep and horses of Jiannu, when the time comes, all problems will be solved. Yang Wenli replied to him with a smile.
"Hahahaha! It's the subordinates who are too worried. Yang Renyue also laughed when she heard this.
"Alright! That's it, I specially told you two about it, I won't be available for a while in the future, and it's up to the two of you to decide what to defend and attack, but you must coordinate well with each other and don't go alone. Seeing that there was nothing to say, Yang Wenli sent off the guests.
"Commander, please rest assured, we know what to do, and our subordinates will retire!" Yang Rentian made a statement on behalf of the two of them, and bowed and saluted with Yang Renyue and retired.
After explaining to the two brothers Yang Rentian and Yang Renyue, Yang Wenli can concentrate on his own business.
The next day, Yang Wenli took the slave soldiers to the workshop, and he ordered loudly: "Everyone go and dig the clay, this time I will make a few larger molds, the clay will be dug a lot, everyone work hard." ”
"Yes," the slaves replied loudly and went their separate ways.
This time, the mold was really large, so instead of using clay, he used ordinary clay, and he planned to build several large casting tables, which were also large man-made extrusion tables, just to cast several barrels.
Since he didn't know how to calculate mechanically, he had to try to cast the mold as coarse as possible, several gun barrel molds were thick, and the diameter wall of the light diameter reached a diameter of half a meter, no matter how much extrusion force was applied, there would be no problem. Therefore, these molds can not be moved, can only be combined with the hot extrusion table, the extrusion table is a little high, more than three meters high, are all giant-like guys, the amount of work is a bit large, Yang Wenli also called the more than 100 Liaodong Han people to work.
These Liaodong Han people, after a few months of recuperation, have been able to do what they can.
Due to the use of more iron, Yang Wenli also had to build a soil blast furnace, specializing in smelting pig iron, and also build a super tall shed, as well as many large clay molds, etc., etc., anyway, there are many thieves, and he is busy endlessly.
……
Half a month later, when Yang Wenli was directing the slave soldiers to make various large clay molds, the soldier in charge of the dock guard ran to him out of breath and happily reported to him: "Great commander, the fleet that went to Korea has returned. ”
Hearing the good news, Yang Wenli immediately ran to the dock without saying a word. From afar, I saw that the dock was crowded with people, and at the same time, many sailors and boatmen's families were also running to the pier.
When the "Grand Commander" arrived at the dock, his pace slowed down, and everyone bowed to him to say hello, Yang Wenli smiled and nodded in response, and then the shipowners who went to North Korea also saw him coming, so they came over and bowed to him.
"Grand Commander"
"A few shipowners are exempt, I didn't expect you to return so soon, everyone has worked hard!" Yang Wenli held his hands on them and said to them excitedly.
After saluting, Huang Shi'an, the leader of the fleet, stepped forward and bowed again and said: "The Great Commander, his subordinates are incompetent, and they didn't buy iron ore, so they had to buy scrap iron tools and come back, but there are some pig iron ingots among them, and I hope that the Great Commander will forgive my sins." ”
Huang Shi'an's words made Yang Wenli first surprised and then turned into joy, he laughed and replied: "Huang Weng's words are serious, since he bought iron tools, what is the crime of waiting, and he has made great contributions to my black armor army!" A few people have successfully completed the task, and I will also fulfill my promise, and then, I will instruct the logistics department to give you a bounty, but everyone should not be too little, hahahaha! ”
Several shipowners heard that the Grand Commander did not blame them, but wanted to reward them, and immediately laughed happily one by one, at this time, Huang Shi'an bowed and bowed and was willing to ask: "The Great Commander's reward, we dare not accept it, we are the people of the Grand Commander, and it is within our duty to do things for the Great Commander and do our best for the Black Armor Army, I hope that the Grand Commander can take back the reward, and we can be at ease." ”
"I hope the Great Commander will take back the reward," the other shipowners also joined Shi Liken at this time.
"Good! Good! Good! A few of them are so righteous, it is the blessing of my Yang, it is the luck of the Black Armor Army, my Black Armor Army not only has warriors who go into battle to kill the enemy, but also has the people who are assisted in the rear, a few of them are so heartfelt, a certain is deeply honored, it will be not thin for you, and you will be the first batch of lords of my Black Armor Army in the future......"
Yang Wenli was very touched by the actions of several shipowners, and he promised to share wealth and glory with them.
