Chapter Seventy-Five: Defending the Country, Hanyi is Now

"Divide Tao County with the Wei State?" King Qi muttered after listening to Diao Bo's words.

Tian Dan opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this plan is feasible. Now there is only a hundred miles of Puyang left to defend the country, and Zhao Guo can go down every day. Tao County is rich, and it is also very profitable to share it with Wei. Once the matter is completed, the three kingdoms of Chu, Yan, and Qin will think that my Great Qi is good friends with the Three Jins, and they will not dare to act rashly. ”

Tian Dan's words can be regarded as the pulse of King Qi.

The king of Qi is most worried about the union of the two countries of Yan and Chu, although the state of Chu was beaten badly by the state of Qin a few years ago, but the state of Chu is vast and rich, and it will not take long to recover. Now that Zhao and Wei can eat the meat of Tao County, and can also make Yan and Chu jealous but helpless, King Qi is relieved when he feels distressed. It's better to have meat than no meat! Thinking of this, King Qi couldn't help but nod.

Seeing that the king of Qi nodded in agreement, the rest of the ministers were all good at observing words and feelings, and naturally offered their words one after another, agreeing with the construction of Ermine Bo. Even the nine ministers of the King of Qi were incapable of doing anything, and they made a new wise decision to support the King of Qi without any restraint!

When the king of Qi saw that the ministers under him had a rare unanimity, Long Yan was happy, and immediately waved his hand, and wanted to send envoys to lobby Zhao and Wei.

The nine ministers who had just been swept away were small-bellied and chicken-hearted, and they all said that since Mink Bo had proposed such a plan, he would definitely be the most suitable candidate for the envoy. In this way, the drudgery of the envoys to Zhao and Wei was arranged on the head of Mink.

The good calculation of the Qi State, the prince Ran, didn't know it, and even if he knew it, the prince wouldn't stop it. When Qi and Wei took Tao County, even if they had half a foot into the "glorious" team of anti-Qin.

The Yan State in the north of Qi and the Chu State in the south are both sworn enemies of Qi State, and there is no hope of reconciliation. The state of Qi would either make friends with the state of Qin, or form an alliance with the three jins, or remain neutral, as it had done historically, and sit back and watch the countries be destroyed by the state of Qin one by one.

The prince is now busy with another great invention--- papermaking. Like the repeating crossbow, saddle, and stirrup that fired in three bursts, papermaking was classified as a state secret from the beginning. With the consent of the king of Han, the crown prince ordered the people to establish a real yàn district on the outskirts of the city. The real yàn district was completely designed by the prince with reference to later generations, and its area is large and the supporting facilities are complete, and it is completely a small city.

Wang Ziran confidently handed over the drawings to the craftsman in charge of the construction, but it didn't take long for the craftsman to tell him with a sad face that the construction would not be possible in three or five months. The reason is very simple, lack of stone and labor.

At any time in ancient times, building a city wall was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Now that the farm is busy, unless the prince can gather a large number of ordinary people to travel dozens of miles back and forth to transport stones, the progress of the project can be accelerated.

The prince was poured cold water and immediately asked for advice on how to build the city wall now. The craftsman had never seen such an approachable magnate, and immediately stammered. Only then did the prince know that a large amount of lime was needed to build the city walls. First, the collected limestone is fired into lime, which is then mixed with water to make lime slurry, and then the slurry is used to build strip stones, brick walls and masonry arches.

After learning that Xinzheng lacked neat boulders such as strip stones, and more lime and gravel, the prince came up with the idea of using cement instead of large stones to build a city wall. You must know that in later generations, a small family workshop can produce cement, after all, as long as you understand the principle and process of making zuò, this is actually not a very difficult thing.

The production process of cement envisioned by Wang Ziran is as follows: the limestone is first pounded into a fine powder and mixed with a certain amount of clay. After mixing with water, it is manually stirred and evenly formed into a slurry. Put the slurry on a plate, heat and dry. The dry material is beaten into lumps and then loaded into a lime kiln. This is followed by the most critical calcination, which is burned until the carbonic acid in the limestone has completely escaped. After calcination, the sintered block is cooled and crushed to make cement.

After the cement is made, it is used to add water and mix crushed stone, bamboo, iron and copper bars. In this way, a simple reinforced concrete wall can be built quickly.

Of course, in the actual process of being yàn is not so smooth. First of all, in order to prevent the cement from cracking after hardening, the inside of the fired product must not contain excessive lime, which requires that the raw material ratio must be correct and fixed. Secondly, the temperature of the lime kiln must be high enough to allow the firing block to contain a certain amount of glass and be black.

After seven days and nights of failure, improvement, failure, and improvement, and countless attempts to improve, finally at the eighth dawn, Prince Ran and the craftsmen fired cement that did not belong to this era.

Looking at the craftsmen who were so excited that they were full of tears, Wang Ziran was just relieved. After all, I knew the whole process of making zuò, and after overcoming the most difficult firing temperature problem, success became a matter of course.

After solving the problem of the raw materials of the city wall, the next thing that Prince Ran needs to do is to wait for the city wall to be built. After all, this place will be the center of its own technological invention and innovation for a long time to come, and it is the top priority of South Korea, and absolute safety must be guaranteed.

In the process of waiting, Prince Ran was not idle. Follow his father to learn how to govern the country, cultivate his own power in the court, and go down to the Yulin Army from time to time to experience military life. It was at this time that the news of Qi's offer to Zhao and Wei to divide Wei and Tao reached Korea.

Prince Ran was not shocked when he heard the news at first, after all, Taojun was originally an enclave of the Qin State in the east. In the past, the prestige of the Qin State, Qi, Chu, Wei, and Zhao did not dare to make any ideas. But now that the Qin State has been defeated and its prestige has been greatly reduced, these four countries are naturally coveting Tao County.

Korea and Yan are too far away from Tao County, and they can't hold it even if they get it. The national strength of the Chu State has not yet been restored, and it is an ally of the Qin State on the surface, so naturally it is not good and does not dare to start. Qi Guo's vitality has been greatly damaged, and now that he sees what he eats, he will definitely not give up the idea of Tao County. In this way, Zhao, Wei, and Qi became the only three remaining contenders.

It is estimated that there are more wolves and less meat, so Wei Guo has become a victim! The prince sighed in his heart.

However, the crown prince was very supportive of Zhao, Wei, and Qi's practice of dividing up Weiguo and Taojun. In this way, Zhao and Wei have a deeper grudge with Qin, and then pull another Qi State to increase Qin's hatred value, why not. Qi is a mortal enemy in the north and south, and now it has annoyed the Qin State, and in the future, he can only ask for the protection of the Three Jins.

Presumably, Zhao and Wei also saw the benefits, so they agreed that Qi would join the feast of carving up Tao County! Otherwise, with the current strength of Wei and Zhao, it can be completely Zhao to destroy Wei and Wei to take Taojun.

I just don't know how the monarch of the country will react after hearing such news. You must know that in the first two years, Wei was still the suzerainty of the Wei Kingdom. Now, for the sake of interests, the Wei State did not recognize people in a blink of an eye and sold the Wei State to the Zhao State. This also made the prince more soberly aware that this is the Warring States, and he can sell anything for the sake of interests. Don't look at Zhao and Wei are now allies of South Korea, if there is a greater interest, they can also turn around and sell South Korea. Just like Wei is doing now.

Five days later, the news of the country's defense and annihilation spread all over the world. The 30,000 troops of the Weiguo District could not stop the 100,000 Zhao State strong army at all. The 20,000 Great Qin Rui soldiers in Tao County were fierce enough, but under the strong attack of the 200,000 Wei and Qi troops, they only lasted for ten more days before they were destroyed.

On the day when the city of Taojun was broken, a small city was also built south of Xinzheng, and the prince was ordered to say "Hanyi". At this time, the eyes of the whole world were aimed at Weiguo and Taojun, and no one expected that this small town, which now looks a little ugly, would radiate such a dazzling light in the next few decades.

(First of all, thank you for 140315141437298, 1 game life tip.) Because I was inexplicably banned by the starting point, I was relieved and helpless after reading everyone's book reviews. Here I will reply one by one, 1, in the battle of Huayang, I used the Macedonian phalanx, and it was helpless to replace the spear with Changge, the Korean soldiers were not good at close combat, an inch long and an inch strong, and who said that Changge could not kill.

2. The Battle of Huayang was the emergence of the so-called heavy cavalry, including the Battle of Yewang, and the heavy cavalry also destroyed many Qin troops. But the heavy cavalry that appears in the book is not in the standard sense, but the cavalry is just dressed in iron armor, which is far from the heavily armed heavy cavalry, which is only a prototype.

3. It is true that the newly built Yulin Army is cavalry, and South Korea is indeed a young war horse, but I never said that I would vigorously develop cavalry, and I can't develop elite cavalry similar to tiger and leopard cavalry? Someone asked, if I don't develop cavalry in large quantities, I invented stirrups and saddles, so let me explain, these are invented in order to cultivate an iron-blooded army that can fight well. The invention of the stirrup was invented for people who were not good at riding horses, just as the car with automatic transmission was invented for people who were not accustomed to using manual transmission, and the peoples of the steppe did not have saddles and stirrups to ride very powerfully. Of course, I will keep this kind of weapon strictly secret, and when the First World War becomes famous, South Korea also has a large number of war horses, and if there is a place to keep war horses, it will be popularized all over the world.

4. Some people say that I write about stick country, I can only hehe. Some people said that after reunification, the name of the country should be changed, and I raised my hands and feet in favor of it. As for the new country name, I guess you know it. There are too many mundane things today, just finished the code, and there is still a chapter, let's read it tomorrow! Tomorrow there will still be something during the day, but it won't be spread so night. Finally, I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival! All those who silently support me and criticize me, I love you! You guys have shown me the way forward, thank you!
