Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Li Jiancheng also trembled with anger when he heard this.But his self-cultivation is really good, otherwise he would go crazy on the spot.However, since then Li Jiancheng has also clearly realized that his royal father is really afraid of him, otherwise a little Chen Ying would not treat him so harshly.

Li Jiancheng turned around, not daring to meet Li Yuan's gaze, he was afraid that if he couldn't control himself, he would get angry with Li Yuan.

"Father, this is inappropriate!"

Shang Shuling and Qin Wang Li Shimin suddenly said: "Father, Lingzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Now Lingzhou is in charge of the six states' military mansions, but it only governs three subordinate mansions. There are only [-] soldiers. Not enough to defend Lingzhou!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "What the people said is very true. Lingzhou only governs the three prefectures, which is really too small. Then reorganize the Eastern Palace Right Guards into the Dingyuan Army on the spot, and govern the six prefectures. Chen Yingwei The Dingyuan Army is in charge of the horse and infantry. The soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Lingzhou General Manager's Mansion have been changed from the original three mansions to six mansions, and the right guard rate in the Eastern Palace... Choose a good family in Chang'an and rebuild the right guard rate!"

Li Jiancheng was shocked when he heard the words, and almost fell down.He finally understood Li Yuan's real intention at the moment.

It turned out to be this powerful army led by Chen Ying!Chen applied the soldiers and horses of the sixteen regiments of the four prefectures led by the right guard of the East Palace, defeated the Turks four times in a row, beheaded more than [-] ranks, and captured more than [-] Turkic people, including seven to eight thousand soldiers and horses from Liang Shidu.It's just because the performance of Chen Ying and You Weisu is too eye-catching.

With such a terrifying combat power, Li Yuan really didn't dare to put this uncontrolled army in the sleeping place of Chang'an City.Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if Li Jiancheng has malicious intentions and sends troops to counterattack, I am afraid that there will be [-] troops of the left and right Wuwei in the guard (full number, usually the left and right generals or the left and right Wuwei generals) The general led the army to go out, so the formation of the left and right military guards is dissatisfied) really can't resist it.

There is a saying that ginger is old and spicy.In the end, Li Yuan was still the master of the game, and with a few words, he lightly stripped the elite soldiers from the four prefectures led by the right guard from Li Jiancheng.

……

Due to messaging problems, Chen Ying was not aware of what happened in Chang'an.At this time, Chen Ying was following a group of craftsmen, playing with mud every day. After more than half a month of trial and error, Chen Ying finally found this clay under a heavily weathered volcanic rock. Although there was no chemical instrument to test the detailed ingredients, after calcination After the test, the performance of this refractory brick was good. Chen Ying guessed that it should be due to luck and the soil happened to contain high silicon, so the high-silicon refractory brick was manufactured by accident.

Solved the problem of refractory materials.

Chen Ying ordered people to start building blast furnaces on fire.

Blast furnace steelmaking is a revolution in industrial history.During blast furnace production, iron ore, coke, and flux (limestone) for slagging are loaded from the top of the furnace, and preheated air is blown in from the tuyeres located at the lower part of the furnace along the periphery of the furnace.At high temperature, the carbon in coke (some blast furnaces also inject auxiliary fuels such as pulverized coal, heavy oil, and natural gas) burns with the oxygen blown into the air to generate carbon monoxide, and removes the oxygen in the iron ore during the process of rising in the furnace. Thereby reducing iron.The smelted molten iron is released from the iron hole.The non-reducible impurities in the iron ore are combined with fluxes such as limestone to form slag, which is discharged from the slag outlet.The gas produced is exported from the top of the furnace, and after dust removal, it is used as fuel for hot blast stoves, heating furnaces, coke ovens, boilers, etc.

Before the construction of the blast furnace started, Yang Ze approached Chen Ying: "Director Chen, this iron workshop must not be built outside the city!"

"Then according to Yang Changshi, this blast furnace must be built in the city?" Chen Ying asked with a smile: "But is there such a big place in the city?"

"Yes, there is no! You can mobilize the people to relocate!" Yang Ze said righteously: "The Turkic people are short of iron. If the iron workshop is built outside the city, it will definitely attract the peeping of the Turkic people. If the Turkic people can Wai Tie Fang has obtained a large amount of steel, and it will surely become even more powerful!"

Chen Ying was full of black lines when he built the blast furnace in the city.What kind of brain is this to come up with such a "smart plan"?

During iron and steel smelting, a large amount of toxic gases will be produced, such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, manganese and its compounds, chromium and its compounds, benzene and its related compounds, carbon monoxide, trichlorethylene, sulfuric acid, and ammonia.Tar, asphalt, etc.These can lead to contact dermatitis as well as chemical burns to the skin and poisoning from lead and its compounds.For workers who operate blast furnaces for a long time, it is very easy to suffer from silicosis and various skin diseases.

If the blast furnace is built in the city, it means that the people in the city will be in a high-dust, high-temperature, and high-noise environment, which means that this is a joke with the lives of the people in the city.What's more, steelmaking not only requires a lot of coal, but also a lot of water resources.The water source of Lingzhou City mainly relies on Karez wells and underground wells. It is not a problem to meet the daily water needs of the people in the city, and it is absolutely impossible to supply the huge smelting needs.

Of course, even if the water resources are sufficient, long-term smelting will damage the quality of the groundwater and cause heavy metals to exceed the standard. Not to mention the people living in the city now, even the next generation of babies will be affected.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "When making steel, it consumes a lot of water and coal, and the transportation alone is enough to keep the whole city's vehicles flowing through it, which seriously affects the travel and life of the people. It is better to choose a site outside the city to build it! "

"But the blast furnace was built, and the Turkic people came here, so what should we do?" Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly: "If you have a supervisor here, why should you be afraid?"

"Director Chen, you are the right guard of the Eastern Palace, and your real job is to protect the safety of the Eastern Palace!" Yang Ze said: "If the imperial court recruits the general manager and the general manager to return to Beijing, what about Lingzhou?"

Chen Ying was silent for a moment.

He is the right guard of the Eastern Palace, one of the ten guards of the Eastern Palace, and it is a special case to lead troops temporarily to aid Lingzhou.He must be going back to Lingzhou.I am building a lot of construction in Lingzhou, I am afraid that in the future, I will just make wedding dresses for others for nothing.

Chapter 53 Canonization of the King of Yan'an County

Chen Ying was not at all worried about Yang Ze's suggestion that the Turkic people would attack the newly built Tiefang in the future.Youdao is a fresh trick that can be eaten all over the world.With hook sickle spears, high bridge saddles, and double-sided stirrups to form a dense cavalry formation, they are not afraid of field battles with the Turks. As long as Chen Ying is given three to five months, Chen Ying believes that he is fully capable of organizing three to five thousand cavalry.

You must know that in the history of Poland, the highest record of hussars is only more than [-].However, these more than [-] cavalry beat the Tatar Mongolian cavalry and Teutonic knights to the ground.Regarding the Turkic people who were not particularly strong in combat, Chen Ying was very confident. If the Turkic people did not care about life and death, he would not mind becoming Datang's Turkic hero and stealing the limelight from Li Jing.

However, another problem that Yang Ze mentioned gave Chen Ying a headache.All it takes is an order from Li Yuan or the Ministry of War, and Chen Ying has to obediently leave.Whether it is mining coal or iron ore, even if it is a blast furnace built in the future, it can only be cheaper for others.At this time, it is no better than later generations. Without the protection of power, even a golden mountain cannot be kept.As long as he leaves Lingzhou, these industries will soon be devoured to nothing.

How to solve this problem left Chen Ying at a loss for a while.

Seeing Chen Ying's silence, Yang Ze thought he had convinced Chen Ying.Then he said excitedly: "Director Chen, what kind of high...blast furnace, let me build it next to the general manager's mansion, and then mobilize the people to relocate!"

"Yang Changshi, this matter is not urgent!" Chen Ying thought for a while, since this is the case, it is likely to marry someone else after it is done, so Chen Ying is not in a hurry to build it.

Chen Ying is neither a saint nor a selfless person.He didn't want to cheap some bastards with his hard work.Let's take a look at the wind direction of the court. If the court lets me leave Lingzhou and transfer back to Guanzhong, the proposal of blast furnace steelmaking will be shelved indefinitely. After returning to Chang'an in the future, I will build steel in my fief, even if there is no iron ore or coal in the locality. , and can also be constructed by means of transportation.In this way, instead, it can support a huge transportation army. If it fails, he can take the opportunity to establish an organization similar to the Cao Gang in later generations to control land transportation.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying said: "It's very inconvenient for the people to relocate in the cold weather today. It's better to wait for the weather to warm up before discussing it!"

……

Returning to the official office of the general manager's mansion, Chen Ying looked depressed.Now he does not have the qualifications to open a government office, nor does he have a staff team, and the embarrassing situation of one person with only one wit and short wit begins to emerge.

Looking at Chen Ying sitting on the main seat of the festival hall, he let out a long sigh.Liu Tong, the deputy lieutenant of Guoyi of Zhechong Mansion, the personal guard, looked at Chen Ying quietly.Chen Ying's age is not very old, his skin is fair and delicate, but he looks younger than his actual age, more like a half-old child.However, after more than two months of fresh wind, Chen Ying has changed.

He turned black.

Of course, it's not actually black, but a wheat color appears on the skin, which makes it even more heroic.Chen Ying exuded a powerful aura of superiority, which made Liu Tong dare not look directly at him.

The so-called high-ranking person's aura is mysterious and mysterious, but in fact, to put it bluntly, the high-ranking person's aura is self-confidence.The four consecutive victories against the Turks not only boosted the morale of the right guard and the whole army, but also boosted Chen Ying's self-confidence.If in the past, he was asked to lead the right guard and more than [-] soldiers to attack tens of thousands of Turkic troops, Chen Ying would never do so unless it was a last resort.

But now, Chen Ying would not hesitate at all, let alone tens of thousands, even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops, Chen Ying would have the guts to compete with the Turks.

With Chen Ying's military achievements and status, it is easy to give people an illusion.To say that Chen Ying is really out of luck, if he was born 20 years earlier, not even ten years, the world's 36 anti-kings and 72 dusts may not have a place for him.Just four consecutive victories against Turks is enough to be called lonely.

However, it is a pity that the situation in the world is gradually becoming clearer. Emperor Shen Faxing of the Liang Kingdom and Li Zitong, the Emperor of the Wu Kingdom, are both ambitious and talented, while the Jiangnan Liang Emperor Xiao Xian is not aggressive enough. Although Du Fuwei in Jiangnan has the strength to unify Jiangnan and form a separate regime, the fact is He is also indecisive.Now it is only Dou Jiande of Hebei, Wang Shichong of the Central Plains and Li Tang who are expected to seize the world.

However, both Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande have fatal flaws. If Dou Jiande can swallow the Luoyi Department of Youzhou first, and then go south to Shandong, it is not yet known who will win if the place is stable.However, Dou Jiande made many foolish tricks, and went to Shandong first, setting up Youzhou and not telling stories. In this way, Dou Jiande, who was unstable in the rear, would definitely suffer from the enemy once Luo Yi led his troops south.

As for Wang Shichong's disadvantages, it is even more obvious. The Central Plains is a battle of four wars. Although Luoyang has eight guards, the strategic buffer is too small to last.

And as long as Li Tang doesn't do his tricks like Dou Jiande, the unification of the world is just around the corner.

Liu Tong could be very entangled with Chen Ying at this time, and he was also dissatisfied that his orders were controlled by others.But Liu Tong knew that if Chen Ying betrayed Tang Zili, he would have no future at all.

At this moment, several soldiers tied up a middle-aged scribe.This middle-aged scribe was disheveled and embarrassed.Liu Tong hurriedly threw his messy thoughts out of his mind, and asked loudly, "Who is this?"

The guards said: "This man is staying at the gate of the house in a sneaky manner. We thought it was the enemy's secret work. We went up to question him, but who knew he ran away. There is indeed a problem."

Liu Tong nodded, and said to the middle-aged scribe, "Who are you, raise your head!"

The downcast middle-aged scribe slowly raised his head, but it surprised Liu Tong.

Because Liu Tong was the left commander of Liangshidu.Commanding the Army This is an official position established during the Northern Wei Dynasty. It ranks below the general and above the general. According to the rank of later generations, it is equivalent to the commander of the group army.However, Liang Shidu had only [-] soldiers and horses, and there were only a few generals. Liu Tong had actually entered the core of Liang Shidu's camp at that time.

Because of this person, he actually knew him.Speaking out, he is also one of the core figures in Liang Shidu's camp, Shangshu Lu Jilan.Lu Jilan was originally a judiciary of Shuofang County in the Sui Dynasty and joined the military.If this official position is the position of later generations, it is equivalent to the president of the municipal intermediate people's court.Quite a six-rank official position.Liang Shidu rebelled against the Sui Dynasty in the 13th year of Daye. Lu Jilan rebelled against Liang Shidu and was named Shangshu Shengshangshu (the left and right servants of the Tang Dynasty).

As one of the core figures of the Liang State, Lu Jilan's status in the Liang State was equal to that of Pei Ji or Liu Wenjing in the Tang Dynasty.

"Lu Shangshu, it's been a long time, I didn't expect to meet here, it's very abrupt!" Liu Tong said with a half smile: "What are you doing, untie Lu Shangshu!"

The guard soldier Liu Tong gave the order without hesitation.After all, Lu Jilan was a half-century old man, weak and inexperienced, even if Master Liang wanted to kill Chen Ying, he would definitely not choose Lu Jilan.

The soldier untied the rope from Lu Jilan's body, and then hurriedly said to Liu Tong: "Take Lu to see Director Chen!"

At this moment, Chen Ying suddenly came out from the festival hall: "Who are you, and why did you see the chief executive?"

Lu Jilan: "If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers, and if your ministers don't keep secrets, you will lose your body!"
