Chapter 136. Gather momentum
Not long after talking to Ah Ran that day, he reversed my identities with Ling'er.
Ling'er was named a noble concubine and officially included in the harem to raise a baby. And I took off my red makeup again, changed into men's clothes, returned to my roots, and once again lived a life without leaving home.
I thought that after that unhappy parting, I would need to put some effort into reconciling with Ah Ran.
But I don't want Ah Ran to completely solve the identity problem between me and Ling'er, and start to come to see me every now and then like when he visited Ling'er, and he talks as relaxed as usual, as if nothing happened.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that I was thinking too much.
He was so abnormal that night because he was upset that I was involved.
I learned my lesson, and I won't be like that again.
Fortunately, Ah Ran is still the same Ah Ran.
Luckily, he still loves me as always......
Ah Ran's child was born prematurely, and he fell to the ground just after he turned eight months.
The child's name is Ling'er, called Ziqi (qi).
Ziqi Ziqi, there is a wood to follow. It's a simple wish, but it's Ling'er's biggest wish for the child.
The Yan family has not had a happy event for too long, and the birth of the little prince has made the atmosphere of the entire palace different.
Over the years, Ah Ran has governed the country in an orderly manner and won the hearts of the people, so the whole country is celebrating the birth of Qiqi.
It's just that Qiqi has been weak since birth, and he has pneumonia when he is less than half a year old.
The doctors have not been cured for a long time, and I can't look past it, so I have to take over the heavy responsibility of taking care of Qiqi.
Qiqi's skin is very white, and he is a soft and glutinous little milk baby, very cute.
Xu is because of the blood connection, I have never liked children very much, and I am often sprouted by him.
Qiqi is a boy, so he looks more like his mother.
Whenever I hugged Qiqi and coaxed him around in front of Ah Ran, he always saw that he was divine.
I guess he's in a trance, right?
Because I look similar to Ling'er, he probably doesn't know if the kid looks like me or Ling'er.
Later, Qiqi's illness was cured and he was carried back to Ling'er.
This is the first time I have known that I will miss such a little doll so much, and I don't think he is troublesome at all.
Ah Ran saw that I wanted to perch, and occasionally brought him with him when he came to see me.
As for Ah Ran's attitude towards Qiqi, although it is not spoiled, it is also caring.
I don't know if he will be glad to keep this child.
With the company of Qiqi and Ah Ran, the next three years passed quickly.
In the past three years, Ah Ran reorganized the imperial examination system, recruited wise men from all over the world, gave preferential treatment to talented people, and even attracted people from the south to cross the border and come to participate in the imperial examination.
All of a sudden, the north left Kyoto to absorb most of the world's talents.
During this period, I had nothing to do, and I often shared with Ah Ran what I had seen and heard in another life.
From humanities and history to modern technology, I told him everything I knew.
When he heard that the feudal system of feudal states would withdraw from the stage of history sooner or later, his face became a little solemn.
I told him that capitalism was the norm that had been replaced by capitalism, and I told him about Montesquieu's separation of powers and Voltaire's constitutional monarchy, and he listened in a long contemplation.
I know that these things are too much information for him, and he knows that many of these political systems are simply not suitable for the current context.
But Ah Ran is so smart, he naturally knows.
I just told him this in the hope that he would be able to inspire him to be more comfortable in handling state affairs, and that was enough.
It's been five years since I returned to Ah Ran.
In the past five years, Beili has developed rapidly, especially in the military aspect, which can be called a leap and bound.
A few years ago, a new mine was discovered next to an iron mine in the western suburbs of Kyoto.
Everyone in the mine thought it was iron ore, but when they mined it, they found out that it wasn't, and no one knew what it was.
They didn't dare to hide it and reported it directly to Ah Ran. Ah Ran sent someone who knew how to do it, but that person didn't know what was mined.
I was very curious when I heard about it, so Ah Ran took out the exploration report of the new mine and showed it to me. I was pleasantly surprised by the description, because it was tungsten ore!
Tungsten is a rare metal, with only 0.001% in the earth's crust, and even in the 21st century, tungsten is a very valuable strategic resource.
Tungsten is usually silvery-gray or white in color and looks a lot like iron, so it's no wonder people get it wrong when they first discover it.
However, compared with iron, tungsten has outstanding properties, it has a high melting point, and its hardness is rarely comparable to that of metals.
Moreover, tungsten has stable chemical properties, and will not react with water and air under ordinary conditions, so to put it bluntly, it is not easy to rust.
Therefore, in the modern military field, tungsten is often used to make armor-piercing bullet cores, and tungsten core armor-piercing bullets are more lethal than any other material and can penetrate armored vehicles!
However, due to the extremely limited technical conditions of this era, my ability is even more unattainable, and it is impossible to build armor-piercing bullets.
But if you know the method of smelting and forge tungsten alloy, then all the blades you create can really be called a treasure weapon that sharpens iron like clay!
I told Ah Ran all this, and he was pleasantly surprised.
I said I wanted to go to the mine to see it myself, but at first Ah Ran refused.
I know he's worried about me, but if I can really make a tungsten alloy weapon, then the combat effectiveness of the army will not be the same.
He finally agreed and took me to the western suburbs mine.
After repeated confirmation, I am completely sure that it is tungsten ore!
Later, I communicated with Jeonbuk-rik's most skilled blacksmith, and combined his smelting experience with my knowledge of tungsten smelting, and soon began to try tungsten alloy smelting.
As for how I, a medical student, would know this, it was all thanks to the boyfriend I had in college.
He was a graduate student at our school, majoring in materials science, and his mentor studied the military application of tungsten metal.
At that time, he was often overwhelmed by various papers, so I kindly helped him collect the required reference materials, and helped me to have a deep understanding of tungsten smelting and application......
Hey, I really didn't expect that my predecessor would have such a role!
The smelting didn't go well at first, but after about four months of fumbling around, it finally made progress.
Half a year later, the first batch of tungsten alloy weapons were made, and the hardness and sharpness completely killed the blades of the world!
Realizing the preciousness of tungsten ore, Ah Ran strictly sealed off the news, so only the participants knew that we had created such a cross-generational blade.
However, I did not forget to instill the idea of sustainable development in Ah Ran and asked him to mine tungsten ore in a protective way.
With him, I promised whatever I said, and I did the same.
Seeing that the smelting of tungsten steel is gradually on the right track, I no longer pay attention to the news of smelting as before, and I live a free life again.
Over the years, Ah Ran has been closely observing Nanli's movements, and occasionally mentioned it to me. I also told Ah Ran what I knew when I left the south.
For example, the handwritten letter he wrote to Leng Yihan asking for the return of the Chosen One was stolen by Ling Niankong;
For example, Ling Niankong thought that Leng Yunshen was the chosen son, so he secretly swapped him out of the execution ground and locked him up secretly;
Another example is Ling Niankong's design, which made Cheng Feng convicted, and finally won the position of coach in the south.
Of course, I also told him that Xiao Jifeng was Shen Yan's son, and that Ling Niankong had the intention of colluding with Wumeng in private......
I also learned a few things from Ah Ran:
First of all, Yue Linglan, the prince of Nanli, was deposed, and the position of the prince is still vacant;
The second is Ling Niankong's ambition. He first exposed that Leng Yihan secretly contacted Beili and got rid of the coach of Nanli. Then he repeated the old trick to bring down the deputy coach Cheng Feng, and he naturally became the coach.
Ling Niankong's goal has always been clear, and that is military power.
The reason why he dared to get rid of Leng Cheng and the others so blatantly was because the crimes of those two were enough to make people jaw-dropping, so they covered up his wolf ambitions.
As for why Cheng Feng had contact with Beili, Ah Ran explained that in fact, in order to find a way to get me back, he not only had contact with Leng Yihan, but also had correspondence with Cheng Feng.
In this way, in case of a mistake on Leng Yihan's side, there is also Cheng Feng's line that can be used.
In fact, Cheng Feng and Leng Yihan were originally the generals of the Fengli garrison, and Ah Ran knew the weaknesses of the two of them well. Therefore, at that time, both of them were forced to keep correspondence with Ah Ran, but they didn't want to die because of it.
I think about these things that Ah Ran said carefully, and I can think about them clearly, but I don't understand it at all:
Why did Yue Xiongqi find out more than once that his generals were colluding with Beili, but he never made a move against Beili?
Or why did Yue Xiongqi rebel back then and did not continue to go north after capturing Shengjing City?
Ah Ran listened to my question and solved my doubts with just one word, that is, "ashamed".
Yue Xiongqi captured most of the country, and the price he paid was the lives of his wife and eldest son.
The two of them died tragically in an unknown deserted village on the outskirts of Night City, just like their mother.
Yue Xiongqi didn't have the strength to go north another inch anyway.
Speaking of Ling Niankong, who later became the coach, he didn't have a long time.
He has only been in office for a few months, and Wumeng has appeared in the Shenwu camp.
As the supreme general, Ling Niankong is to blame.
Emperor Nanli sent troops to burn the Shenwu camp, and the commander Ling Niankong was nowhere to be found. The emperor raided Ling's mansion, and the whole country arrested Ling Niankong.
Unexpectedly, after March, Ling Niankong suddenly captured a man surnamed Xiao and appeared in front of the palace to see the emperor.
The emperor entered, and the next day issued an edict:
Xiao Jifeng, the former commander of the Xuanyi Army, was in charge of the Wumeng Wind Shadow Building, and passed information to Wumeng all the year round, and his crime was unforgivable.
However, because he knew the entire intelligence network of Wumeng in Nanli, he was taken into custody and ordered to be strictly interrogated in Dali Temple.
It was also ascertained that Ling Niankong was not suspected of colluding with Wumeng, but was guilty of negligence, and ordered him to go to the western border.
When I heard the news, I was surprisingly calm.
"After three months", I couldn't help but sneer.
At that time, it was about a month after I fell into the Jinshui River, and he really put me down so quickly and continued his plan.
This, nothing bad, is it?
