Chapter 160

Liu Fan was beheaded for public display, but it did not cause unrest in the 50,000-strong army outside the city.

The 50,000 troops outside the city even cheered for this, it turned out that Liu Fan often scolded his subordinates in the army, and his subordinates had long been dissatisfied with him.

Now that Liu Fan has been killed, it is a good thing for many people.

Therefore, Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan quickly stabilized the 50,000 horses.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy." In the big tent of the barracks, Qin Yuan was chatting with Gongsun Qi.

After Gongsun Qi subdued the 50,000 horses, he had been thinking about it.

The adults asked the two of us to persuade the 50,000 horses, and it seemed that they had already known that it would not be too difficult, but the adults had expected it a long time ago.

"Brother Gongsun?" Seeing that Gongsun Qi was in a daze, Qin Yuan shouted again.

Gongsun Qi came back to his senses and said, "Seeing that all this is expected by adults. ”

"Your Excellency should have investigated what Liu Fan did in the army, and the soldiers in the army had a lot of resentment against him, so they decisively executed Liu Fan."

Hearing Gongsun Qi say this, Qin Yuan also felt that it made sense.

After all, Liu Fan, as the temporary commander of the 50,000-strong army, could not be executed casually, unless he knew that this person was not willing to be in the army.

"It turns out that the adult has wanted to dispose of this Liu Fan for a long time, and today Liu Fan just sent himself to the adult." Qin Yun said with a smile.

Gongsun Qi nodded, "After all, this is an army of 50,000, if it is controlled by a disobedient guy, it will definitely be a huge danger to Cangxian." ”

"My lord is far-sighted, and he already has the demeanor of an old general." Qin Yuan said with a smile.

"Old General." Gongsun Qi knew that what Qin Yuan was talking about was the current god of war of the Tang Kingdom, Qin Zhen, the general of the Zhenguo.

Qin Zhen is also Gongsun Qi's idol, and now he can do things under Qin Yu, Gongsun Qi feels very proud.

"Ahh

Qin Yu on the other side sneezed heavily.

"It's cold? No, it's so hot in here, or is someone talking about me? ”

Qin Yu rubbed his nose, the sneeze just now almost knocked out his soul.

At this time, Qin Yu was in the foundry of the iron-smelting factory, the temperature in the workshop was very high, and the winter was like midsummer, and there was the sound of tinkling bells and bells next to him.

After Qin Yu disabled Liu Fan, he still felt that he had the strength he couldn't use.

So Qin Yu ran here, on the one hand, to ask someone to build a stove, and on the other hand, to use iron to vent.

Sure enough, when you are upset, you still have to find a way to vent.

Qin Yu hadn't actually hit iron before, so picking up the hammer was just a matter of smashing it.

I originally wanted to fight a sword, but in the end, it was smashed directly into a thin piece of iron, and I didn't even have the prototype of a sword.

Qin Yu picked up the iron piece, it was so thin that he couldn't use it, so he could only sigh helplessly.

The master on the side smiled dryly: "The adults really put a lot of effort into it, but they haven't learned the skills, so some..."

Qin Yu didn't care, he was originally here to vent, not really to forge a sword.

Qin Yu casually threw the iron pieces to the scrap pile on the side, and these scraps were finally to be returned to the furnace to be re-melted into molten iron.

This is also thanks to the two mines that Qin Yu pumped.

The iron ore mine provides enough iron ore for Cangxian County, and these iron ores are not bronze, but real iron.

The high-quality coal mines provided by the coal mine provide sufficient fuel for Cangxian County.

And because of the coal mine, the iron-smelting workshop can raise the temperature very high, enough to melt the iron ore, and even meet the temperature requirements of steelmaking.

Therefore, Qin Yu can make armor weapons in large quantities, and even furnaces can be made in large quantities.

In fact, in ancient times, it was not that the furnace could not be cast, but because there was too much iron needed, it was better to build agricultural tools.

"Forget it, I'm here to vent my strength today, and I don't want to hit anything."

Qin Yu wiped the sweat on his body and said to the master next to him: "Brother Fu, I will leave these stoves to you, and after they are built, they will be installed first to those households with the old, weak, sick and disabled at home." ”

"Don't worry, sir, we will speed up the construction and strive to build it as soon as possible."

"My lord, but those tens of thousands of sets of armor will take time, after all, the forging of armor is the most difficult." Master Fu said with some caution.

Qin Yu knew that the forging of this armor was much more difficult than that of weapons.

Forging a sword, an experienced master, can be completed in half a day.

However, if you want to forge armor, it will take at least a month.

"It's okay, the armor can't be in a hurry, so take your time." Qin Yu picked up his clothes, "Brother Fu, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, we're blacksmiths, and it's very uncomfortable to not strike iron for a day." Master Fu said with a smile.

After Qin Yu talked a few more words with Master Fu, he left the iron-smelting factory.

After a period of venting, Qin Yu only felt light.

My mind is much clearer, and I know what I need to do now.

Qin Yu didn't go back directly, but ran to find Xiao He.

Xiao He doesn't care about other trivial matters now, and they are all lost to Lao Huang.

Lao Huang has also learned a lot, which is a good thing.

Xiao He is fully preparing for recruitment, recruiting soldiers is not as simple as issuing a conscription order, then gathering people, and then training.

Behind this, the logistics required are definitely a huge problem.

It can be said that managing the logistics of an army is even more difficult than managing an army.

Once there is a logistical problem, it will affect the morale of the military and finally affect the war situation.

Of course, in history, there are not no armies that do not need logistics, such as Huo Quai's 800 cavalry, such as Xiang Yu's broken boat, all of which directly abandoned logistics.

But they all have one thing in common, and that is that there are fewer people.

If you try to change to an army of more than tens of thousands, it would be strange who would dare to abandon logistics and not cause a mutiny.

And if you want to say who has done the best logistics in history, Xiao He is definitely at the forefront of the forefront.

So this matter was handed over to Xiao He, and Qin Yu was completely relieved.

This time I came to find Xiao He, Qin Yu wanted to figure out how many people and horses Cangxian County's current logistics capacity could support.

Xiao He was still taking inventory in the treasury, and after learning that Qin Yu was coming, he ran out to report the situation.

While Xiao He handed over the list in his hand to Qin Yu, he reported to Qin Yu at the same time.

Qin Yu saw the list handed over by Xiao He, and his head was a little big.

This list is not recorded in the form of a table, so Qin Yu looks very difficult, if it weren't for Xiao He's statement on the side, Qin Yu wouldn't want to read it.

After listening to Xiao He's statement, Qin Yu asked, "If you want to move troops, how long will it take to prepare?" ”

Xiao He was stunned for a moment and glanced at Qin Yu.

"At the earliest, we have to wait until the beginning of summer, and there is no problem with the treasury, but the training of recruits takes time."

"You don't have to worry about training, you just need to do the logistics." Qin Yu glanced at the several huge warehouses in front of him, "If the warehouses are not enough, continue to build, and the storage of materials cannot be stopped." ”

"No!" Xiao He arched his hand, with a serious and serious face, but with this height and a smart look, it was really a bit hilarious.
