I am the king of the dead

Chapter 43 Daming Lost Self-Confidence
Zhu Qiyu is extremely lucky.

Daming's iron material is actually high-phosphorus iron material. After phosphorus is oxidized by air, it will be reduced to phosphorus by dolomite and re-entered into molten steel. If the phosphorus in molten steel is too high, it will be broken in one blow and cannot be used. .

In the age of local steelmaking, most of the unqualified steels were high in phosphorus.

China has a vast territory, but there are actually very few high-quality iron materials, and most of the iron materials are unusable.

His luck is that the fireproof lining brick and refractory clay of Jingtai furnace are alkaline materials, refractory bricks made of broken dolomite.

Coupled with the addition of limestone to the material, it can dephosphorize molten steel, and it has achieved great success.

It doesn't matter, Zhu Qiyu has decided to make two less sets of regular clothes every year.

Support Wang Gong Factory to conduct large-scale experiments, how to make ingredients, how to control furnace temperature, and how to improve furnace front package.

He made two less sets of clothes, which could support Wang Gongchang's experiments thousands of times.

"In short, it's a good start." Zhu Qiyu looked at the huge Jingtai furnace, changed his clothes, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Steel, is the backbone of a country, at all times.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the Jingtai furnace with satisfaction, this is the starting point of the new Ming Dynasty.

He looked at the steel ingot under his feet, and said with emotion: "Yu Shangshu, I have an idea. There are only two types of craftsmen in Daming, craftsmen and living craftsmen. Only living craftsmen can take moon salt. Can we? grading."

"Clarify the technical capabilities of the craftsmen in Daming, and by the way, encourage the craftsmen to make technological progress?"

Reasonable and flexible use of systems and regulations to achieve their goals is the goal pursued by Zhu Qiyu.

Yu Qian was obviously taken aback for a moment, bowed his head and said, "I have also thought about it, but after all, they are all strange and ingenious, and they can't be seen in the elegant hall. The minister has written a summary in the past few days and presented it to His Majesty."

Weird tricks…

In the context of clan etiquette, the skills of the craftsmen are all ingenious skills?Zhu Qiyu scoffed at this.

"Well, Yu Shangshu, go to rest early, the Chaotang is a battlefield, and the people of Wala will also come." Zhu Qiyu said with great certainty: "Yu Shangshu should not stay up late in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being sympathetic." Yu Qian bowed his head respectfully and sent Zhu Qiyu away.

He did not follow the emperor's order to go to sleep, but walked on the steel ingots around the Jingtai furnace, and occasionally he would crouch down, check the incision of the steel ingot, and show some relieved smiles.

In Yu Qian's opinion, he is not afraid of the Oara people at all.

As he said, the elites in the Daming capital camp died in battle, as well as the military army, the Japanese army, and him. They died, and other Daming people stood up and went forward.

Daming is not afraid of defeat, but he is deeply afraid, and Daming has lost his enterprising spirit.

This is fatal to a dynasty.

Today, Daming is not dead from a serious illness, but he is afraid of his head and tail. He balances, appeases, and compromises. Then Daming will die one day.

Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was chasing ducks on the shelves, does not seem to be a king who is willing to guard.

He threw the steel ingot in his hand into the sand, clapped his hands, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the stable.

He has been thinking about why the air that is cooler than the molten iron is poured in, and the molten iron does not solidify, but becomes even hotter.

Why is this kind of thing so weird? Could it be that Zhu Qiyu really came into being?

Zhu Qiyu knew the answer. In fact, the carbon, manganese, silicon, and phosphorus in the molten iron reacted fully under sufficient oxygen, so that the temperature of the molten iron was raised again.

His biggest gain today is a lot of sustainably prepared steel ingots, and what Yu Qian gains is: Daming ZTE is promising.

When Emperor Daming returned to Prince Yu's mansion, Wang Meilin and Hang Xian took their children to look around. As a result, Emperor Daming was busy with the papers, so they just glanced at it and left sadly.

The two beautiful women looked at each other. Could it be that because of the birth of a child, has His Majesty lost interest in them?

"It's such a pity." Zhu Qiyu touched the location of Bauhinia Pass quite emotionally. He had absolutely no idea what Wang Meilin and Hang Xian were thinking, and now his mind was full of repulsing the Orah people.

Naizi is good, but you can only enjoy it if you have life.

"Your Majesty, what's the pity?" Xing'an asked with a cup of tea.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu never wanted the war to happen within the country, which was a devastating blow to people's livelihood.

For example, when Duke Ming sent his wife and children to the south, countless people fled south. On the road to the south of Daming, every road was crowded with people fleeing. The merchants left with their families and even lost their property. No matter what, the two big collections of things in the capital are already crowded.

This phenomenon, Yu Qian used military disaster to describe.

He actually discussed with Yu Qian the possibility of retaking the Bauhinia Pass, but Yu Qian rejected it.

If it is possible to fight in the wild, Yu Qian will not risk his life, but no, the sequelae of the loss of the six divisions are gradually spreading.

The subjects of Daming, even the civil and military officials in the court, have lost certain confidence in the strength of Daming.

"Lack of horses." Zhu Qiyu said helplessly.

The Daming army's battle formation can be said to be first-class, but the lack of a horse army is an indisputable fact.

During the Orthodox years, Hetao was actually controlled by the Oirat people, and the phenomenon of lack of horses in Daming became more and more serious.

Daming also gradually reduced from a field army to a defending army. The prefects of Daming, the biggest achievement of the frontier now, is how many city walls they have built.

"Building the city wall, instead of fighting fiercely, this is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qiyu looked at the map with emotion. This is a systemic problem.

Xing'an put down the tea cup and grinded it silently. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Your Majesty, it's not the minister who talks too much."

"Why do the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty like to build the city wall? The reasons are complicated, but it is true that building the city wall is the easiest."

"The confederates are military households, and the gentry are unhappy and have all gone to serve as soldiers. Who will farm for them?"

"Training troops is time-consuming and laborious, but it's not thankful. If you practice well, the Ming Gongs in the court are not happy, and some people say that they have self-respect for their troops. After impeachment, the officials of the Supreme Court heard the wind and started to impeach the generals. Who can stand it?"

"If you don't practice well, not to mention it, it's even more thankless, and you'll be ridiculed by others."

"I thought that this matter should be taken care of slowly, and I'll talk about it when the Oara people have been repelled."

Zhu Qiyu stared at the map for a long time and said, "Xing'an, do you think this battle can be won?"

"I don't know, I have no idea in my heart." Xing'an chose to tell the truth. This is his true opinion. He is just a fast eunuch. How can he understand military affairs?

Why was Chen Xun reading the article "Buren Xinghuiyi" by Fengyang Poetry Society?

Because it is very widespread.

Like Xing'an, in fact, most people do not have any confidence in the upcoming battle to defend the capital.

Zhu Qiyu asked Lu Zhong to arrest [-] people from Fengyang Poetry Society, but instead of calming down, the matter became more and more intense. Similar opinions were clamoring in the community, and there was a tendency to intensify.

In this battle of the capital, it is not only necessary to win, but also to win!
"Where did the Oara go?" he asked worriedly.

Xing'an hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, we may arrive at Bauhinia Pass tomorrow."

Where did the Oara go?

Faster than Xing'an had estimated, they had already entered the Bauhinia Pass.

Standing on the top of Bauhinia Pass, Taishi Wata also looked at Guangou not far away, the smile on his face could not be suppressed no matter what.

"Emperor, do you know where that place is?" He also patted the city wall forcefully, and asked with a big smile, pointing to the distant Guangou.

Zhu Qizhen shook his head: "I don't know."

He also pointed to the ditch in the distance and said: "This place is called Guangou, and Juyongguan has two passes, north and south, called the north and south passes, and on both sides are lofty mountains and valleys about forty miles, called Guangou."

"And Juyongguan stands on the top of the Guangou, extending the Great Wall from east to west. It has been difficult to capture since ancient times. It can be described as impregnable."

"Your Majesty, if you were from Oara, how would you break through Juyongguan?"

Zhu Qizhen looked at Juyongguan in the distance and shook his head and said, "There is no king in the world. I don't need to break it. When I go there, I will naturally worship everywhere, and I will break it without attacking."

Hearing Zhu Qizhen say this first, he was dizzy and laughed again and again.
