The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

And like now, it is good to engage in workshops to make some money, take in the limited rights of displaced people, and form some guards to protect the property of the Qin family, the entire Ming Dynasty is like this, and everyone has nothing to say. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, the layout may only be known to him, and outsiders can't see any doorway.

I don't know why, Lu Xinrong smiled, isn't everything Lu Du doing today the same as Taizu who built a high wall, accumulated grain, and slowly became the king?

"Brother Boyu, just let it go, our Linpu Iron Smelting is famous in Daming, please ask the best for the furnace."

Zhang Yun is simple, what my brother has to do, I give my full support.

He was the only one, willing or not, who had no choice.

As the characteristics of the times, under the system of the family and the country, Zhang Yun, as Qin Haoming's family, has long shared honor and disgrace. If something happens, it's impossible not to be implicated.

Therefore, whatever his brother explains, he is conscientious, lest there be the slightest mistake.

"Actually, I still don't know, why does Qin Du want to smelt iron? In the back, isn't it necessary to make hundreds of steels to build weapons, but also to make hundreds of steels? ”

Speaking of this, Yu Youhan looked confused and puzzled.

Linpu's iron smelting industry is very famous in Daming and has a large scale.

In some private iron-smelting plants, there are hundreds of workers for each furnace, including charcoal burners, mine diggers, and instigators, and the rest of the furnace patrols, charcoal deliveries, ore transports, rice sellers, and wine sellers, and so on, are also dozens of hundreds of people each, and hundreds of people are often gathered in one furnace.

At the same time, Linpu is also the place with the most steel, but in his opinion, it is only some low-carbon steel, and there is still some distance from the high-quality weapon target in his heart.

In fact, how did Yu Youhan know Qin Haoming's hard work and ambition?

There is no doubt that steel is the key to the rise of a country.

The amount of iron in the Ming Dynasty ranks first in the world, and it can produce raw and wrought iron, but it cannot make steel on a large scale.

As early as Linpu, Qin Haoming had already visited several private iron workshops and found that there were several advanced technologies at that time:

The first is the tandem use of the iron-making furnace and the iron-frying furnace, that is, the molten iron flowing from the iron-making furnace flows directly into the iron-frying furnace to fry the mature iron.

This method reduces the process of one-step remelting and is an important starting point for modern metallurgical technology.

The second is the semi-continuity of the operation of the iron-making furnace, that is, after the tapping is made, the tap hole is blocked with mud, and the blast is re-refined.

The third is to create a set of steel production system, that is, iron ore is smelted into pig iron, and then smelted from pig iron to mature iron, and then from pig iron and wrought iron into "steel filling".

Fourth, the use of flux. That is, the pig iron of the iron frying furnace is sprinkled with plaster, which is used as a flux, and then stirred with a wooden stick to help oxidize.

This kind of steelmaking by putting pig iron and wrought iron together was the precursor of the open-hearth method of steelmaking in later generations.

It can be said that the high development of Daming iron and steel production has created a glorious page in the history of China.

Qin Haoming has every reason to believe that even if there is no golden finger for him, according to the current level of development, as long as the country is safe and the people are safe, and the government supports it, it will not take many years for open-hearth steelmaking and blast furnace steelmaking to appear naturally.

It's a pity that all this was destroyed after Jiannu entered the customs.

Since the development of the iron and steel industry would attract a large number of urban and rural surplus populations, the poor mountainous and remote areas where the Jiannu rule was weak would pose a threat to the order of the Manchu Tartars at any time.

So the Tatar rulers took various measures to limit the development of steel production.

One of the measures is to prohibit businessmen from mining and smelting on their own.

The second measure is to greatly increase the iron class. Generally, the mined iron sand is handed over to the Jiannu government at a rate of "two out of ten".

Compared with the current Daming iron class, the output of the iron class is two times higher, and as a result, many private iron smelting industries have been closed down because they cannot afford to pay the heavy iron class.

As a result, the highly developed steel production in the Ming Dynasty was greatly damaged, far less than that of the Ming Dynasty.

During this period, the industrial revolution took place in Britain and other European countries, and the new capitalist relations of production greatly promoted the development of iron-smelting and steel-making technology, but the Tartars ignored these in order to rule the Han people.

After the Opium War, imperialist gunboats entered China, and China's steel industry never had a day of revival.

Now, he wants to gradually develop from iron smelting to steel plants, lay a solid foundation, and form a complete system, so that he can expect to rise.

"If you want to come to Qin Du, you must have his deep meaning, just make it."

Lu Xinrong also couldn't understand that the purpose of iron smelting is steel, and the purpose of steel is to build high-quality weapons, of course, it is better to do it in one step.

But if you don't think about it clearly, you don't want to, and you will naturally understand in the future that this is Lu Xinrong's advantage.

"Yes, I'll leave this matter to you, I'm still trying to train the escort team. At their current level, they can't stop a single charge from the serpents. ”

Only after the actual battle did Yu Youhan understand the strength of Jiannu and the Mongol cavalry, and naturally paid more attention to the training of the escort team.

Fortunately, after he brought back the soldiers of the 200 Tianxiong Army, he led the new with the old, and the efficiency was undoubtedly much higher.

"Brother Yu, didn't the few battles between my brother and Jiannu all defeat the strong with the weak?"

When it came to military affairs, Zhang Yun's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"Governor Qin said that the battlefield is dignified, but in fact, there is no such thing as a state where a truly weak soldier can defeat a strong soldier.

Because strength and weakness are determined by whether they can defeat and kill each other, and heroes are judged by success or failure.

Throughout Qin Du's several battles, the enemy is strong and I am weak.

Qin Du tried to isolate, divide, and manipulate the other party, and tried his best to make every battle locally form a strong victory over the weak, and then a mental calculation or no intention, so as to achieve victory. ”

Yu Youhan carefully reminisced about a few battles with Jiannu, isn't that exactly the case?

"What's more, on the battlefield, there are many invisible factors, which are probably part of the strength and weakness.

Intelligence, people's hearts, morale, likes and dislikes, and even luck. The goal is in front of you, the road may not be visible, or there may be many ways, how to achieve the first step of the goal?

For these reasons, Qin Du didn't know how much he had made calculations in his heart, and the scouts in the army didn't know how much they sacrificed to have these victories.

But to say a thousand things and ten thousand, one's own strength is quite important. If there is no elite of Lu Du's Tianxiong army, if it is replaced by other troops, Qin Du will also be helpless? ”

The former friend has now reached a height that is beyond his reach, and as a small hair, he is really happy.

Along the way, Yu Youhan understands that there is no reason for victory on the battlefield, especially as a weak side, there is no reason to be lucky.

It can be said that if there is no plan and calculation of his friends, Jiannu will definitely leave in triumph with a big victory.

"I really missed it!"

Zhang Yun was leisurely fascinated and sighed in a low voice.

"Jiannu has not been destroyed for a day, and there will be battles in the future.

What's more, this time Jiannu is far from hurting the muscles and bones, and the two sides don't know how to go next?

Instead of lamenting here, it is better to train the team hard, and when he meets on the battlefield, don't be cowardly. ”

In Linpu, even if Yu Youhan dared to say this about Zhang Yun, no one else could.

The wind blew, setting up a rain and fog in the sky, and the wind and rain were heavy at this time, and the sky became darker and darker.

Zhang Yun did not defend himself in the face of the wind and rain, but secretly swore in his heart that if he did not fight every day, he would fight to make a great name, and even if he died on the battlefield, he would have no regrets.

At this time, no one would have thought that Zhang Yun, who is nameless today and seems to be the little brother next door, would let Jiannu avoid him in the future, and fled north in a hurry, calling him a wild wolf.
