Reborn as Murong Fu: This time I am the protagonist

Inside Wanyanbu's village.

An earthen blast furnace was erected, and a piece of ore the size of a head lay quietly in the blazing fire. Its dark color did not change at all in the firelight.

"It's been three days and it's still like this. Is it true that ordinary fire can't temper this divine iron?"

Aguda couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw this situation.

Murong Fu said: "The melting point of this extraterrestrial iron is so high that it cannot be smelted by an ordinary blast furnace. In my opinion, a high temperature of at least three thousand degrees is required to melt this thing."

"Melting point? Two thousand degrees? What is that?"

Aguda was confused by the sudden unfamiliar terms and asked curiously.

Murong Fu realized that he had accidentally said a noun that did not belong to this era, so he apologized quickly, and then briefly talked about these two concepts. Aguda suddenly realized: "I see, what can we do if the temperature reaches 3,000 degrees?"

Murong Fu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If my estimate is correct, I'm afraid there won't be anyone in the world who can smelt this thing."

Although Murong Fu had little understanding of the technological level at that time, he also knew that even the porcelain manufacturing technology that was unparalleled in the Central Plains at this time could only heat the furnace to more than two thousand degrees.

"Ah, is that so?"

Hearing this, Aguda couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Murong Fu patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Agu, brother, don't be discouraged. Conquering the world does not rely on the sharpness of a sword."

Aguda smiled in relief: "That's true, but I'm too persistent."

Murong Fu said: "Calculating the time, the envoy from the Wanyan Department should be arriving in the capital soon, right?"

When Aguda heard this question, he said with a serious face: "This time we sent three groups of people, each with one person and two horses, traveling day and night. We will definitely be able to reach the capital ahead of Wulin Da and others."

Murong Fu nodded and said in a sarcastic tone: "Wulinbu, after seeing Wanyanbu's activities these days, will definitely think that Wanyanbu wants to block the news and monopolize this piece of meteorite. They are determined to take revenge. They will definitely publicize the news that the Wanyan tribe has obtained this treasure, and unite with several other Jurchen tribes to attack the Wanyan tribe. If their leader had a better mind, he might even report this news to the Emperor of Liao."

"Yelu Hongji loves hunting and claims to be brave. He may not be interested in other things. He will definitely be tempted by the material of this magical weapon. Then this group of people will use the name of Wanyan Department to hide the treasure and obtain the Liao Dynasty treasure. With the support of the country, they will have the name to send troops, and Yelu Hongji may even send troops to assist. Then with a little more operation, they can legitimately unite the Jurchen tribes and Khitan troops to destroy the Wanyan tribe. . This calculation, to be fair, is quite good."

"Unfortunately, that's the end of it." Aguda also showed a sarcastic smile: "I'm afraid these people can't imagine that our gestures are actually made deliberately, just to let them do this. In fact, our people have already I rushed to the capital to report the news."

Murong Fu smiled and said: "Yes, in this case, these people will have broken their trust with the Liao State. If Wanyan Department wants to deal with these people, it will not arouse the vigilance of the Liao State."

"Although Yelu Hongji is a foolish king, it is always a good thing to be cautious!"

Murong Fu and Aguda pushed open the wooden door and walked out. Outside the door stood neatly thousands of Wanyan warriors wearing iron armor.

Aguda looked at the neat and fierce Wanyan tribe warriors in front of him, and proudly introduced to Murong Fu: "Starting from my great-grandfather, four generations of the Wanyan tribe have been spending a lot of money to buy iron tools for decades, and finally saved up With these thousands of pairs of armor, although our armor is still rough compared to the elite imperial guards of the Liao and Song Dynasties, we are finally on the same level as these people."

Looking at the thousands of fierce Wanyan tribe soldiers in front of him, Murong Fu also secretly marveled. Although the Wanyan tribe is still in the transition from the primitive commune stage to the next stage, the new forces are full of vitality and bravery. It is the foundation for this force to be invincible in the future. On the other hand, the Liao and Song Dynasties were bloated, decadent and lifeless. Politicians are busy fighting against dissenters, fighting to the death, while the people at the lower level are in danger and struggling on the verge of death all day long...

A few years ago, when Wang Anshi carried out the Young Crops Law, countless ordinary farmers in the Song Dynasty were forced to lose their fortune and their families under the coercion of local officials. In order to achieve the targets, the talented local officials of the Song Dynasty used various tricks to force farmers to borrow money from the local government, and even came up with some magical operation such as "joint household guarantee compensation". After the young emperor Zhe Zong came to power, Empress Dowager Gao went too far and engaged in a party-wide policy of uniting the party against dissidents, and all the new laws were abolished. Even a piece of iron will be broken under such a hot and cold blow, let alone the imperial court.

Murong Fu looked at the thousand Wanyan warriors standing neatly in front of him, and slowly said: "Brother Aguda, after winning this battle, I want to ask you to promise me something."

Aguda agreed very readily: "Murong, if you have anything to do, just say it, and I will promise you. Even if you want me to let Yingge go with you, I will promise you."

Aguda smiled heartily and made a joke about his younger sister, which made Yingge blush.

Murong Fu smiled: "Well, let's discuss this later. There is a more important matter right now."

Seeing that Murong Fu was speaking very seriously, Aguda stopped joking and said seriously: "As long as it's not about betraying a friend, I can agree to it."

Murong Fu said: "If one day the Wanyan tribe can annihilate the Liao Dynasty, I hope that the Aguda brothers can restrain their subordinates and not bring the flames of war to the people of the Song Dynasty."

Aguda was stunned. He looked at Murong Fu for a long time, and noticed that there was no joke in his eyes, and he was extremely serious. Then he slowly said: "Murong, you are my good friend, and I will naturally not cheat. You. To be honest, the Khitans are the feud of our Jurchens. Since the time of my great-grandfather, the Jurchens have hoped that one day they would no longer be oppressed by the Khitans."

"But this dream is too far away. The Liao Kingdom has millions of troops and a population of tens of millions. It is far beyond what a scattered Jurchen can fight against."

"Although I don't know why you believe me so much, maybe one day the Jurchens will destroy the Khitan under the leadership of the Wanyan Department."

"I, Aguda, hereby make an oath in the name of White Mountains and Black Waters: As long as I, Aguda, am alive, I will not let Jurchen arrows shoot into the land of the Song Dynasty. If I violate this oath, my soul will have no place after death. rest in peace."

Aguda solemnly swore the oath.
