Chapter 507: Qi Wuhuaiwen brings surprises
Jia Siqian is enthusiastic, but his body has many hidden diseases. Ya__文>>8_w-w'w=.· y-a`w-e`n`8-.· com
Such a talent must not be exhausted. Liu Mang sent a letter to Jinyang and transferred Li Shizhen to Hedong. Go to Jiwang Mountain to diagnose Jia Sixian, be sure to remove the root of Jia Sixian's disease, and adjust his body to the best state.
There is another purpose for transferring Li Shizhen to Hedong.
In another month, Wan'er will give birth. The last time he attacked his daughter, Liu Mang was very nervous, for fear that the attack would be dangerous. In this era, giving birth to a child is a matter of life and death, and the rate of accidents among adults and children is very high.
After Wan'er became pregnant, she never gained weight, and Liu Mang was even more worried. Transferring Li Shizhen to come is safer.
……
Qi Wuhuaiwen, a master of smelting, arrived in Anyi with the transport team of the Hu people.
Along with the high-quality coke, there were also many weapons and equipment.
Most of these equipment are ge, spears, hand knives, arrows and arrows used by infantry, as well as some iron armor, most of which are samples made by Qi Wuhuaiwen himself, and brought to the garrisons in various places for trial. After listening to the feedback, it was improved and finalized and became the standard equipment of the state army.
Qi Wuhuaiwen supervised the smelting of pig iron, and the rigidity and strength are far from the crude iron on the market.
In this era, there have been a lot of iron and steel equipment. There is also high-quality steel, commonly known as 100 steel, which can make extremely sharp weapons.
However, Bailian Steel has a fatal weakness.
One is that forging is time-consuming. _>> it_w'w·w=.= 100 steel, it really needs to be 100 forged, even more than 100 times.
Second, it is extremely expensive. The 100-for-100 steel knife is also known as the "human life knife", which is known as its sharpness and its expensiveness, and a knife is equal to a life. The cost of building a handful is equal to the price of all the food that a man eats in twenty years. In this era, the average life expectancy of people is only 20 years old, and 20 years of food is the food of a lifetime!
Third, it is easy to be damaged. In the Han Dynasty, quenching technology had already appeared, but craftsmen would only use water as the quenching medium to create weapons, which were more sharp and less tough. Weapons are extremely susceptible to damage and even break.
These weaknesses. Serious hindrance to the widespread use of iron weapons.
Qi Wuhuai has developed a unique quenching process, using animal urine and animal fat as the quenching medium.
There are many cattle, sheep and horses in Yanmen, and Qi Wuhuaiwen has the conditions to try different urine and grease as quenching mediums, and the steel and iron obtained by different quenching methods. Mixed forging, with a unique steel filling method, to create an extremely sharp and extremely tough steel knife, named "Su Iron Knife".
Sharp weapons can improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. And good toughness. It can greatly reduce the degree of wear and tear of weapons, reduce the frequency of weapon maintenance, and indirectly increase the combat effectiveness of the troops.
The generals can't put down the Su Iron Knife, and Shichiro Yanji even has the urge to abandon the spear and use the short knife instead!
The state army is still dominated by foot soldiers. The Iron Blade will be equipped for the Sword and Shield Soldiers. Previously, the main role of sword and shield soldiers was to defend against bows and arrows. When going out on the expedition, the sword and shield soldiers have to carry a heavy shield, and are often nicknamed "turtle soldiers" by other troops.
A sword and shield soldier equipped with an iron sword. _8_w·w·w'.-y=a·w-e=n·8'.-c-o·m is equivalent to equipping a turtle with sharp claws and fangs, and the role of sword and shield soldiers on the battlefield will be rewritten from now on!
Liu Mang was very fond of the Su Iron Knife, and specially ordered someone to send most of the Su Iron Knife to Dongyuan, Hedong County, and hand it over to the Tan Dao Ji Department.
Tan Daoji, who is recognized as a military theoretical commander in the army, equips his team with the Iron Sword for Tan Daoji to study the new combat methods of the sword and shield soldiers.
……
In addition to standard equipment, Qi Wuhuaiwen also made several weapons used by generals with his own hands. One of them was an iron spear. It was tailored for Yang Zaixing at the request of Liu Mang.
Yang Zaixing is not good at words, and when he got the spear, he was so excited that he couldn't even say words of thanks. I was excited for a long time, I didn't say a word, I went to Wang Yanzhang with a gun and tried the effect.
Qi Wuhuaiwen not only brought weapons, but also brought Wei Chigong on the order of Liu Mang.
"Master Wywen. What about the people I want? ”
"Jingde and his people are unloading coke in the treasury." Qi Wuhuaiwen didn't know what Liu Mang was looking for Wei Chi Gong to do, and asked with some concern: "Although Jingde has been in the iron mine for a short time, he is willing to endure hardships and has spirituality, Rong Mou is trained, and in time, he will become a great craftsman, Liu Taishou should not transfer him elsewhere!" ”
In terms of smelting, Qi Wuhuaiwen is extremely talented, but in terms of dealing with people, he is stupid. Liu Mang has been officially promoted to General Wei, one of the Nine Qings, but Qi Wuhuaiwen is still used to calling Liu Mang the official title when he was in Yanmen.
Fortunately, Liu Mang didn't care about him, and said with a smile: "Master Huaiwen, I promise you other things, and I will never agree to Jingde, I must transfer him away." ”
Qi Wuhuaiwen knew that Liu Mang must reuse Wei Chigong, but he still felt a pity. Yu Chigong, what a promising blacksmith, just ruined......
In the treasury, a group of handymen are unloading coke.
If it weren't for Qi Wuhuaiwen's guidance, Liu Mang almost didn't see Wei Chigong. This Wei Chi Jingde, it's too dark!
Yu Chigong is already dark, doing blacksmith work, moving coke, plus there is no condition to take a bath, in the background of coke, it is simply invisible!
"Jingde, come here, I've seen our Taishou."
Wei Chigong heard Qi Wu Huaiwen's call, put down what he was doing, walked over, and looked at Qi Wu Huaiwen inexplicably. "Master, aren't we Taishou General Rokuro?"
"This is our former Taishou, and the current state pastor."
"Oh? It's Liu Bingzhou, our lord! Wei Chi bowed his head.
Although he is Qi Wuhuaiwen's apprentice, Wei Chigong fortunately did not lower his emotional intelligence by this master.
Qi Wuhuaiwen really didn't want to let this good apprentice leave, ignoring Liu Mang and Wei Chigong's feelings, he asked directly: "Jingde, do you want to learn the craft from me?" ”
"Yes! The master's craftsmanship is too high, and the apprentice is willing to learn for a lifetime! ”
Liu Mang smiled. "Respect. Then I will also ask you, do you like to strike iron, or do you like to fight? ”
Wei Chigong's eyes widened in shock, and his eyes, which were already black, became darker and brighter. His greatest wish is to put on the battle and fight bravely to kill the enemy!
However, looking at Qi Wuhuai's reluctant appearance, Wei Chigong really couldn't bear to hurt his master's heart. After hesitating for a long time, I finally mustered up the courage. "Master, when I finish fighting the world with my lord, I must go back and continue to learn from my master!"
"Alas...... "Qi Wuhuaiwen is so sad......
Liu Mang laughed so much that he held his stomach......
……
Just took Wei Chi Jingde under his command, Gao Gao and the third prince of Gui arrived in Anyi. However, the two of them were very embarrassed.
It turned out that on the way to Merge State, they encountered big trouble......
applied to join the army, but was rejected by Qin Qiong at first. Gao Gao was extremely conceited, thinking that he was strong in martial arts, but he was rejected, and at the same time, he was very angry, and at the same time, he also yearned for Liu Mang's merger army.
Farewell to Qin Qiong, returned home, regardless of the opposition of his family, spent a lot of money and recruited more than 200 people.
Gao Gao thought that he could no longer let the generals of Bingzhou look down on him, so he deliberately found a good craftsman, created a beautiful armor, and equipped the recruited soldiers with weapons, and spent a lot of money to buy dozens of war horses.
More than 200 people finally looked decent and satisfied, but they also delayed a lot of time.
In order to arrive in Bingzhou as soon as possible, Gao Gao discussed with the third prince of Gui, and took the road of Hangu Guanxi too far, and took Pingyin and crossed the Yellow River in the north, and went from Jiguan to Hedong, which was much closer.
The two led the team and hurried away. As soon as I arrived in Pingyin, I saw an oncoming team, with distinct armor and a big banner on the big banner. (To be continued.) )
