Although His Highness of the Liao King left Yi Naiji, the Ming army did not leave Yi Naiji completely. In order to prevent the Beiyuan side from attacking, Azha Shili from Yi Naiji could not defend as soon as possible.

Zhu Qi still asked Jack Ma to stay in Yinaiji with 10,000 people to help the city defense.

Zhang Yu, who was transferred, returned to Liaoyang, controlled the overall situation, and gave advice to His Highness the King of Liao.

Azhashili naturally dared not have any objection to such an arrangement.

Azhasili not only did not make any arrangements for His Highness the Liao King, but had any unhappy thoughts.

He was even grateful. He thought he only needed to deal with Naha.

However, he did not expect that Wang Baobao would win the situation with Yi Naiji. The power of the Northern Yuan Dynasty gathered 100,000 people, and he also wanted to take Yi Naiji.

If His Highness of the Liao King had not responded quickly and came to support him as soon as possible, he might have been caught by Wang Baobao now and died in the battlefield with his body and head. Maybe he would have been killed in the battlefield.

On the Ming army, he stayed to help defend Yi Naiji, so Azha Shili was naturally very welcome. He also knew that if he was not His Highness the father-in-law of the Liao King, he might not have such treatment.

As for those tribes who followed Azhasili, after seeing the power of His Highness the Liao King.

He was also devoted to his heart. Just kidding, who dared to rebel?

His Highness of the King of Liao defeated Wang Baobao, and only brought 50,000 people to fight against the 100,000 people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Such a powerful general is really the reincarnation of the God of War.

And he is also Azha's son-in-law. If he rebels, His Highness the King of Liao would have raised all their ashes?

It can be said that with his own strength, the King of Liao completely stabilized Azha's position in the desert outside the border, and the situation under Yi Naiji's control.

In the future, we only need to continue to support the three guards of Duoyan to embezzle Naha's territory and help Azhasili gain a foothold.

That would be an invincible situation for the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not destroy Azhasili, then eight out of ten Liao areas would be from the Ming Dynasty in the future.

However, the war in Liao was naturally not a matter of one day or one night.

In the next few years, I'm afraid we will have to play here, which is also a career that Azha Sili needs to focus on in the future.

Zhu Qi was still as usual, not very enthusiastic about war.

After all, in the early years of Hongwu, there were so many famous generals supporting the scene, and he didn't need to be a half-baked person to care too much about unfamiliar things.

What he needs to do is to farm and develop.

The first thing to solve is the problem of food.

In the Liaodong region where Zhu Qi is located, the surrounding land is still very suitable for reclaiming land. Although the climate in Liaodong is severely cold, the three treasures of civilization brought back by Wang Zhiqi from America, potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes.

These three things are very powerful in adapting to the climate, and are especially suitable for growing corn in Liaodong.

For the three crops, potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes.

Zhu Qi also knows this kind of thing that needs to be cultivated to choose the optimal amount of seeds.

But he was not very clear about how to do it, and he could only let the farmers plant the seeds he had.

Then based on experience, select the right preparation, leave the seeds and continue to plant them.

It has been a year since I got the seeds last year. I have returned to a large area of ​​land in Liaoyang, allowing the selected farmers to come and plant the three treasures.

After all, this is a magical tool to solve the problem of eating in the future, so Zhu Qi naturally attached great importance to it. As for the number of seeds, he didn't care much about it.

Because Wang Legend's fifth voyage is probably coming back soon.

And this time, when Wang Chuanqi came back, in addition to bringing back the seeds of the three auspicious treasures, there were also seeds of peppers and tomatoes.

Zhu Qi also asked him to collect outside, and more importantly, he could bring back some people from the Native American tribes.

When we get to the Ming Dynasty, it is second to let everyone open their horizons. The main thing is to get along with them. If possible, we can do some original education, etc.

This was a crucial matter for the Ming Dynasty, because if you want to expand your overseas territory, education must be the first.

Only after the fields of culture and language are assimilated can better management be carried out.

And those indigenous chiefs definitely have no overall view. It is very simple to establish a country and integrate a tribe there.

As for the subsequent conflict, there is no need for Daming to do these dirty and tiring tasks by himself.

The local tribes that received the education and ruled by the Ming Dynasty could help, and this was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

The transformation of America has lasted for decades or even hundreds of years, and of course it is something that future generations need to persevere.

However, as a pioneer, Zhu Qi still hopes to help the Ming Dynasty and make a good start.

In order to avoid the fact that when the West initiated the Age of Discovery, it would be the first to occupy the Feng Shui treasure land of America, which would not be good news for the Ming Dynasty.

It is still nearly half a century before the opening of the Western Age of Discovery.

It was too late to go in time, but when the Lord returned to Liaoyang, the first thing he had to do was not to care about agricultural development, but to see if Haizhou's minerals could be suitable for mining.

He quickly arrived in Haizhou in a carriage, not far from the Liaohai Sea, and there were already many local miners gathering there.

This piece of coal was discovered by them. These miners had never mined coal before.

However, minerals such as iron ore and copper ore have been mined. After His Highness of the Liao King explained in detail to them about the characteristics of coal, they have been searching for this area, which is called coal.

Of course, they don’t know what they are for, and they have never burned them before. After all, the things that ordinary people use for heating are always charcoal.

However, according to His Highness the King of Liao, this coal is still a very important thing, so they naturally dare not neglect it.

After receiving the mission, I have been searching for so-called coal around Haizhou for days and nights.

Although Haizhou is not big, it is not that easy to find the specific location of the mine.

After all, it is inevitable that ordinary people will make mistakes when they look for it. The best choice is to let these miners who are familiar with the mining process find coal according to their characteristics.

After searching for two or three months, they really found coal.

However, no one thinks he is so powerful. Instead, he thinks that His Highness of the Liao King is so powerful that he can predict something that no one has seen before.

His Highness the King of Liao knew that he could point out the specific position. Isn’t this a god?

So when Zhu Qi appeared in Haizhou to inspect the coal mine, the workers who were exploring the minerals looked at His Highness Liao, their eyes full of worship, just like seeing a god coming.

Zhu Qi was also quite strange. Although other people always looked at him with a look of admiration, these miners looked at their expressions, which was definitely not respect, but fanatic.

Sure enough, one of the people took the lead in kneeling down, and the other people immediately knelt down.

You should know that Zhu Qi is not the emperor yet, and there is no rule that the people must kneel down when they see the prince. If these people kneel down to Zhu Qi, they really feel from the bottom of their hearts that His Highness the King of Liao is really amazing.

Zhu Qi hurriedly asked everyone to stand up, and one of the people said excitedly:

"Your Highness is really a god. He actually knows that there are minerals here, but what is the so-called coal mine used for His Highness Liao?

I didn't expect these workers to be quite exploratory before, so I smiled and said:

"Steelmaking."

Of course, this coal mine is used for steelmaking.

However, the so-called steel in the Ming Dynasty is absolutely different from what Zhu Qi said.

The steel mentioned by Zhu Qi is made of modern steel, and its hardness is definitely not comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty.

However, to practice such steel, in addition to the very complex refining process, the most important technical difficulty is temperature.

The temperature must be controlled within a suitable range, and the combustion raw materials of the modern Ming Dynasty could not be increased to the temperature required for steel quenching.

What is necessary to increase the temperature is that the combustion efficiency of the fuel must be high, and coal is the material with the highest combustion efficiency that can be imagined at the moment.

It is also a must-have thing for steelmaking. Isn’t the blood of modern chemical industry just coal?

And after having coal, you can even try to develop real explosives.

But that thing is a bit too complicated and very dangerous, but if it can be done, it will definitely be very powerful.

Of course, those craftsmen didn't know how to make steel, and Zhu Qi had already had a complete set of steelmaking methods.

Even the steelmaking furnace for the earth stove has been developed, and the only thing missing is this coal.

And those craftsmen have already started to build new steelmaking furnaces in Haizhou.

This steelmaking furnace is actually not very complicated. For example, a modern flat factory, the most distinctive one is a large chimney, with a huge chimney of about 10 meters high.

This chimney is also an important factor in increasing the temperature.

Many local people are very surprised to see this strange building, and they don’t know what this building is for.

Now that the coal has been explored, the rest is to mine coal and then send it to this steelmaking furnace.

As for how strong and quality the steel trained can be, it depends on the craftsmen's skills.

All Zhu Qi could do was done. After inspecting the situation in Haizhou, Zhu Qi returned to Liaoyang and went directly to a large area of ​​farmland behind Liaoyang.

These are all experimental fields set up by His Highness the Liao King.

Of course, what is grown is corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

These three things were originally thought to have to be refined and improved for a long time before they could be like modern times, but Zhu Qi didn't know if they were a welfare for time travelers.

It was just that after a wave of seeds was born, it was already quite good.

Not only the taste but also the yield are not much worse than the corn, potato and sweet potatoes that Zhu Qi knew.

Of course, it is unrealistic to think that it is as productive as it is now. As for resisting lodging and pests, it is not very clear.
