In February of the third year of Jianxing, the Prime Minister came to the court and said that the provisions and weapons were ready. His Majesty asked your Majesty to send troops southward and set up Nanzhong as early as possible to boost the power of the Han Dynasty.
The emperor agreed and ordered Tai Shi to choose an auspicious day.
The day after Feng Yong returned to Jincheng, the court sent word that the southern expedition was scheduled for March.
Zhao Guang and Wang Xun both moved to Yamen and will soon go south.
Knowing that Zhao Guang and Wang Xun were about to go south, Feng Yong finally understood why Zhuge Lao Yao would let him return to the village first.
It seems that they were sent to Zhao Guang and Wang Xun just so that he could catch up.
War is not a child's play, nor is it just gathering soldiers at random and then marching all the way through.
Food, grass, weapons, etc. must be prepared in advance. The leading troops must also assemble at the designated location first, rather than setting off together from Jincheng.
Time was running out, and Jincheng was suddenly enveloped in tension.
The brothers and others ate and drank in Feng's house, and finally drank all the ten jars of wine until not a drop was left.
According to Zhao Guang, once I go there, I don’t know when I will be able to eat such exquisite food again. This time is regarded as his brother’s welcoming banquet, and it is also his own farewell banquet.
In Jincheng at the end of February, spring is already warm and warm.
Feng Yong took Li Yi and Yang Wanwan to bid farewell to Zhao Guang and Wang Xun on the official road, and warned Zhao Guang anxiously.
When a general's man goes off to war, a woman can only say goodbye at home and cannot go out to say goodbye, otherwise she will be laughed at.
This guy Zhao Yun seems to be completely letting Zhao Guang go now.
I heard that Zhao Guang himself said that when he was reluctant to leave with his mother before going out, he was kicked out of the house by his elders, and then he cursed before closing the door: "If this Southern Expedition dares to lose
If you offend the old Zhao family, you don’t have to come back!"
This old guy has fought countless battles in his life. In his eyes, Zhao Guang's expedition this time is probably the same as going out for a walk.
The terrible thing is that Zhao Guang may have been influenced by him. He had no intention of going to the battlefield at all, and his expression could not be more relaxed.
This made Feng Yong a little worried.
"This time is not like when you were in Yinping, where you were obeying orders under the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister enforces the law strictly, don't do anything random, otherwise no one will be able to save you."
Wang Xun is calm by nature, and he went to fight with Wang Ping on the battlefield when he was twelve or thirteen years old, so there is no need to worry.
On the contrary, this guy Zhao Guang, although he has a father who is one of the top five generals, the fact about Yin Ping still makes Feng Yong frightened.
The Battle of Nanzhong was the first battle that Zhuge Laoyao personally commanded. It was also the first time that the Han Dynasty mobilized troops after the Han company suffered heavy losses. Its importance is obvious.
Proud disciples like Ma Su would be killed by the old demon Zhuge because they disobeyed military orders. If Zhao Guang did something like Yinping again, his life would be at risk.
Zhao Guang, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face with two dark circles under his eyes, looked like a national treasure panda. Hearing Feng Yong's words, he nodded repeatedly, "I will take your brother's words to heart and I won't dare to do anything random again."
It's obviously a sad farewell, but for some reason, Zhao Guang's appearance makes people not take him seriously, and even makes him feel a little funny - why does this guy always give you troubles out of the blue?
Thinking of this, Feng Yong felt even more worried, "By the way, what's going on with your face? You were fine when you left Zhuangzi yesterday morning!"
Does Mr. Zhao have a problem with abusing his son? He also beat Zhao Guang violently before leaving?
After hearing this, Zhao Guang touched the bruises on his face and said a little unnaturally, "Yesterday, my sister told me that she hasn't urged me to practice martial arts for a long time. This time when I go south, the military situation is dangerous, so I need to be careful before leaving.
Give me some pointers on my martial arts skills."
"Which sister?"
"Sister Guan."
"oh."
Feng Yong nodded, thinking that it was not unfair, because you deserved it.
Zhao Guanglue said with some regret, "After the banquet the day before yesterday, Sister Huang was anxious to return to Hanzhong to supervise the affairs of the farm, otherwise..."
I'm just saying this to you, if Guan Ji were here, I wouldn't be able to beat you up again!
What are you thinking about? I always think about my sister fighting. Is it interesting?
Feng Yong was too lazy to care about this guy who was always out of tune, and turned to Wang Xun and said, "Zi Shi, when you go south this time, you must be optimistic about Yi Wen, and don't let him be as willful as last time."
Wang Xun nodded and said, "Brother, please remember what you said."
Feng Yong turned his head and ordered Bu Qu who was following him, "Come here, bring the things up."
Everyone who followed Feng Yong came up holding a pair of armor and a horizontal sword.
"The battlefield is dangerous. An extra piece of good armor means an extra life. An extra piece of good weapons means an extra hand. As an elder brother, I can't help you. I can only help you when we are in Hanzhong.
The people from Hanzhongye have built something, let’s see if you can use it.”
He has occupied several mines in Nanxiang County, and he can't just occupy the manhole without shitting. In addition, he has the status of a supervisor of Hanzhong Metallurgical Industry Co., Ltd., so Feng Yong had some selfish motives from the beginning, so that Hanzhong Metallurgical Industry and Technology Co., Ltd.
People try to use coal to smelt iron to see what the difference is.
There is no hope for steelmaking. Although I know the principles, I only know the principles and my practical ability is zero.
Even if Feng Yong explained the principle, the craftsman would definitely look confused and not understand.
So I had to use it to smelt iron first. Anyway, there were already records of using coal to smelt iron in the Western Han Dynasty. There should be no threshold for this.
But the result was extremely disappointing to Feng Yong.
It is true that the burning temperature of coal is higher than that of charcoal, and it is true that coal can be used to smelt iron to quickly obtain a large amount of iron. However, pay attention to this, the quality of iron is extremely worrying!
The smelted iron is very brittle and cannot be used as weapons at all, it can only be used as agricultural tools!
Therefore, it was effortless for Hanzhong Metallurgical Industry to supply eight-niu plows to those manors in Hanzhong, and the iron smelting room was even filled with substandard iron.
Because of this, Huo Yi came over to thank Feng Yong.
But Feng Tibi couldn't wait to kick over those iron-smelting furnaces!
What do I need this junk iron for?
Based on the physics and chemistry knowledge he had learned, Feng Yong knew that this was because there were too many impurities in the iron.
In addition, coal also contains a large amount of other substances, which will seep into the iron during the iron smelting process, so this situation occurs.
It seems that what the book says is right. Whether it is iron smelting or steel making, coal must be further refined into coke to have a future.
The use of coal to make coke is also recorded in the textbook, but it only talks about the formulas and principles, and then draws a schematic diagram of the furnace to see what the actual thing looks like - Feng Tibi has never seen it anyway!
How do you ask him to do it?
But even if you can't get it out, you have to bite the bullet.
During this period, I don’t know how many people were burned to death by high-temperature smoke or poisoned by smoke. There was even a flash explosion. Who knows how those uneducated slaves operated?
Anyway, the way to die is different.
Looking at the black smoke coming out of the kiln, Li Yi and others thought that Feng Yong was conducting sacrifices for some cult.
If it weren't for the fact that after filling in hundreds of human lives, he finally got something that looked a bit like charcoal, Feng Yong's little heart could hardly bear the pain of losing manpower and called a halt.
Take the iron smelted from this thing and smelt it into a weapon. It will be a magical weapon!
Anyway, in the eyes of Li Yi and others, he is definitely a magic weapon.
When the weapons used by ordinary soldiers are cut down, a big hole will break directly. If the quality is not good, it is not surprising that it breaks, but the magic weapon only leaves a slight gap.
