The next day, Lei Ming gathered the army outside Baihe City, solemnly announced the news of the truce, the whole army was jubilant, the news was too powerful, many people cried with joy, but you must know that how many soldiers could not look forward to this day and died on the battlefield.

"Long live General Lei! Long live General Yang......" The cheers shook the clouds.

Lei Ming stood on the high platform, stretched out his hand and pressed it, and his voice became smaller, and he was completely quiet after the last moment. He cleared his throat and said, "I know that the soldiers of the Dao are happy at this time, and at the same time, they also miss their distant relatives and dead comrades-in-arms even more, but this is still not the best time to meet each other, we will still be destroyed at any time." If someone wants to leave at this point, I won't stop it. ......”

Soldiers, look at me, I look at you, I didn't expect Lei Ming to suddenly say this after the victory, after all, the people who are still there are brothers who have experienced several life-and-death battles side by side.

"Now I have some scruples and can leave in the evening. The gates will be wide open tonight, so let those who want to leave go. Lei Ming was a little frustrated, after all, no one wants the brotherhood to have people who turn their backs on them, but everyone has their own hardships, who has the right to tie others up and not let them go?

Some people have some intention in their hearts, their eyes are shaking, and they are calculating in their hearts, while some people have firm eyes and swear to follow the thunder to the death; but more people are still silent and persist in their hearts although they are worried between their eyebrows.

Lei Ming looked at the army that was not chaotic despite the commotion, and nodded secretly in his heart, this army can be regarded as having a soul. He said excitedly: "Dear soldiers, in the next plan, General Yang Tianyang will organize and teach the martial arts of the whole army, as short as two or three years, as long as five or six years, you will definitely become masters!"

When the soldiers heard this, they all stared at the thunder with blazing eyes, and listened attentively, which of those who survived the army was not a militant or a good warrior?

"I believe that at that time, you should be able to visit your loved ones freely. If there is still a difficulty at that time, I will do my best to help!" Lei Ming said impassionedly.

"Hooray! Hooray!" In the future, he will be able to learn martial arts, and he will be unanimously supported by the soldiers.

"Maybe not now, but I believe that in the near future, Baihe, with all my masters, will be the safest place!"

"Hooray! Hooray!" the soldiers were easily encouraged to shout.

"Next, I announce the arrangements for the defense of the city: Yang Tian is the defender of Baihe City, commanding 7,000 troops, Mr. Wen is the military advisor to assist in the defense of the city and the management of Baihe City; Luoyang Tian is the defender of Hexi City, commanding 2,000 troops, Mr. Huang is the military division, assisting in the defense of the city and the management of Hexi City; and I will lead 2,000 troops to garrison Baishan. Let's go tomorrow!" Thunder shouted vigorously, overpowering the whole army, and after a while, they all quietly listened to Thunder's arrangement.

The next morning, when the number of people was counted, it was found that only 831 people were missing, and it seemed that there were not many people left. The army was distributed according to yesterday's thundering arrangement, and after it was settled, it taught the soldiers to practice martial arts according to the previous strategy......

In a flash, it was half a year, and the soldiers' martial arts improved very quickly under Yang Tian's training and elite battalion teaching, and they basically learned a hard kung fu, and then used these soldiers to tear apart the previous Haotian army, I am afraid that it would be easy to destroy 50,000 people.

The strength of the army has improved a lot, and Lei Ming transferred Luoyang Tian to Baishan to practice martial arts. One day, Lei Ming took Lin Chong, Liao Yun and Luo Yangtian to train in the depths of Baishan. There are tall pine trees growing sparsely, and under the pine trees are a few small trees.

Standing in front of the pine tree, looking at the trunk that was almost two meters in diameter, and touching the cracked and dark bark on it, Lei Ming sighed in his heart, only these uncultivated places can have such big trees......

His hair had grown a lot, and there was no barber here, so he tied his short hair back with hemp rope, which was much sharper than the short hair that had been scattered before, and the sword eyebrows on his white face, with starry eyes, the whole person was very energetic.

Lei Ming turned his head, looked at the three Luoyang Tians who were standing in a straight row, raised his head slightly and said, "The environment here is good, the three of you can practice martial arts here." With that, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.

Luoyang Tian was very in awe of the increasingly majestic thunder, and with a slight bow, he looked for an open space to practice martial arts.

As he moved westerly, Lei Ming felt that his internal skills had become more refined, but after a long time, he didn't know how well the three of them practiced, so he opened his eyes and stood up. I saw the red glow all over the place, the pine trees in the distance and near are plated with a circle of red edges, the clouds in the sky are also gratifying, there are occasional birds in the sky, through the red sun, leaving an empty and silent song, between heaven and earth is a beautiful world.

Lei Ming looked around, but he didn't see the three of them, and he didn't hear a sound, so he let out a long howl: "Return!"

The echo of the mountains ripples, "Return!~Return!~"

A response came from the valley not far away: "Here!"

Then, I saw three figures running quickly from the valley towards the thunder, and in a blink of an eye, I saw Liao Yun holding a black thing with a scale light in his hand.

Liao Yun gasped with excitement on his face and said, "Master! we found this thing! I don't know what the use of the Dao is?"

Lei Ming stared straight at the thing in Liao Yun's hand and asked, "Where did you find it!"

"In the valley!" Liao Yun pointed to the way.

Lei Ming's face was excited, and he said, "Lead the way!"

Luoyang Tiansan's anger had not yet calmed down, so he turned around and ran towards the valley again. Lei Ming followed behind the three of them lightly, looking at the three of them who were running desperately, he snorted softly: "The three of you can't get home!

It didn't take long to reach the valley, only to see a ten-meter-square collapse in the valley, where black pieces of things were exposed.

Lei Ming was overjoyed when he saw it, smiled, laughed, and said, "Ha Luha, I didn't expect there to be an open-pit coal mine here!"

Luoyang Tian and the other three looked at each other suddenly, it turned out that this was called a coal mine, but what was the use of this?

"Master, this ...... Coal mines, what's the use?" Liao Yun asked weakly.

"This one can be used to make a fire, and it's much hotter than firewood. Lei Ming couldn't keep his mouth shut, "With this, you can develop industry." ”

"Industry?" Liao Yun had countless question marks popping up in his head, "What is industry?"

"Don't care so much, just know that there is such a thing as Lu Dao!" Lei Ming Zhi Lu Dao couldn't explain it for a while, "You each take two pieces and follow me down the mountain." ”

Back in Baishan City, it was already dark, and there were lights in the city dotting the dark earth, and there were shouts for food to warm people's hearts. When the four of Lei Ming returned to the city lord's mansion, a soldier had already served a meal.

Looking at the delicacies on the table and smelling the tempting smell, the stomachs of the four couldn't help but rumble. Lei Ming sat down with a saber, picked up the bowl and ate, and suddenly found that the three of them had not come, and looked at the coal in his hand and was stunned.

Lei Ming chewed the fat in his mouth and squeaked: "What are you doing standing stupidly! Put down the coals, wash your hands and eat." ”

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly put the coal at the foot of the wall, ran out of the smoke to wash off the black coal marks on their hands, and then ran back and sat down, and devoured it.

After the meal, Lei Ming called the soldiers to bring a torch, then put the coal in the middle of the courtyard, and after breaking a piece with his foot, he piled it together and lit it with a torch. In the darkness, I saw the red flame of the coal, and then I smelled a slight irritating stench.

"Hee-hee~, sure enough. Lei Ming looked at the burning coals and was ecstatic. But Luoyang Tian and the three of them can't see the use at all, they just burn the fire, and there is firewood everywhere, is it worth being so happy?

Lei Ming turned to face the puzzled three people and said, "Tomorrow, call a thousand soldiers to dig coal with their burdens, dig it back and burn it!"

Then he muttered to himself, I don't know where there is iron ore in the road? Could there be a little bit of such a big white mountain? Thinking of such a question, he called Luoyang Tian again and ordered him to send 2,000 soldiers to dig around on the white mountain to see if there was any ore.

Within a few days, the coal mines that the soldiers had brought back were piled up, and a large black pile was piled up outside the city, attracting onlookers and residents to talk about it. Luo Yangtian gradually became worried, is this thing just burned? Is it useful to waste the soldiers' energy to chop wood? Seeing that Lei Ming did not urge carefully, he ordered the soldiers to reduce the amount of digging.

The hard work paid off, and after a month, a soldier finally brought back a black stone with a semi-metallic luster. Lei Ming took the ore that sank in his hand, looked carefully at the dense granular crystals on it, it seemed to be very hard, touched it with a Tang knife, and found that it could suck the Tang knife slightly.

"Okay! I really found it!" The initial conclusion that it was magnetite was thundering and shouting happily, so frightened that Lin Chong, who sent the sample, took a step back.

"How's it going?" Lin Chong asked cautiously.

"Well, yes, it should be iron ore. Go find a blacksmith's room, and we'll use it for refining. Lei Ming was in a hurry to test it, but suddenly remembered that he didn't know how much this ore was, and if he only had one piece on his hand, it would be a fart. He looked up and asked, "Uh...... How many do you bring?"

"Only the one in your hand. Lin Chong was embarrassed.

"Quick, quickly order someone to pick two loads and come back!" Lei Ming was anxious to try the test, but found that there was too little ore, and his heart was really uncomfortable.

After Lin Chong personally went into battle and spent half of his time picking up four loads of ore, Lei Ming also requisitioned a small blacksmith shop in the city and added bellows to the refining furnace.

In the anxious excitement, Lei Ming added a large amount of coal to the furnace, poured two loads of ore into it one by one, ignited the coal, and let Lin Chong pull the bellows, and burned until the sunset went down, burning out four large metal ingots!

Thundering Ha Luha laughed wildly: "This industry has finally fallen!"

Looking at the thunder roaring that laughed wildly, Luo Yangtian, Lin Chong, and Liao Yun looked at each other, didn't they just refine a few pieces of metal? A blacksmith can do it, is it worth being so happy?

After dinner, Lin Chong looked at the thunder that was still joyful, and couldn't hold back the question in his heart, and said: "Master, this iron-making is the ability of a blacksmith, I don't know how the master of the Dao is happy?"

Lei Ming stopped smiling and said, "What do you think of my Tang knife?" Lin Chong had long coveted the thundering Tang knife, thinking that Lei Ming had found the ore, and he was happy to give it to him, and said with a drool: "This is a divine soldier, Lin Chong has been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Luo Yangtian and Liao Yun looked at Lin Chong's move, their eyes were very red, and they wished that it was themselves who was talking, and at the same time they were secretly annoyed that it was not themselves who were looking for minerals.

Lei Ming looked at the saliva-glittering at the corner of Lin Chong's mouth, and said with a smile: "Yes, this Tang knife is a divine weapon!" But it's not for you, so let's quickly wipe off the saliva from the corner of my mouth." ”

"Hehe~!" Luo Luotian and Liao Yun burst into laughter, and their hearts seemed to be balanced with laughter. Lin Chong wiped the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.

Lei Ming continued: "With iron ore and coal, we can make iron and even steel ourselves. If we really refine good iron, then it will be easy for us to forge such a treasure sword. ”

When Luoyang Tian and the three of them heard this, they were very eager in their hearts, and they looked at Lei Ming with burning heat, waiting for the following.

"Build a big furnace by the river in the south of the city, recruit some blacksmiths to forge weapons, and soldiers who are interested in learning can also participate, anyway, they are idle now. Lei Ming was happy in his heart, and lightly demarcated the iron-making area.

Time passed quickly, two months passed at once, Lei Ming personally went into battle, commanding the soldiers and people to build a simple small blast furnace, although many processes could not be completed, but it was no problem to only make large-scale iron.

Many of the iron tools in the city were bought for the construction of furnaces, which was very inconvenient and complained to the residents, but as the first furnace of iron began to be smelted five or six days later, the supply of iron in the city was very abundant, and the residents felt that the sky seemed bluer and the air was fresher.

Yang Tian and Mr. Wen, who rushed to hear the news, were also overjoyed, and now, there is no need to worry about the weapon problem, and they can even sell it for money.
