Destiny Only Han

Chapter 663 Liu Ying: Disband the illegal organization!
On the third day of August, there was thunder in the morning, but the rain was not heavy. At noon, the clouds cleared and the rain cleared, and the sky was clear.

Dian Kingdom is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Although the heat is still unbearable in other places, after the clouds gather and rain, there is a slight breeze here. Although it is a bit humid, it is not muggy.

Beside the muddy path, military tents are densely packed like mushrooms after rain.

This is exactly the Han army ordered to conquer Dian.

After all, it was raining, and the road was muddy, so Liu Ying simply ordered the camp to be set up on the spot, and asked the soldiers to repair, mend their clothes, and make two pairs of straw sandals by the way...

Now except for the cavalry grandfather who can sit on horseback slowly, the rest of the infantry have all got off the carriage and marched on foot. Therefore, no one is willing to walk in the mud with cloth shoes and boots. Leggings.

Well, the mud is more than half a foot deep, and it is difficult for a four-wheeled carriage to move forward. Even if it is pulling the luggage, it will continue to sink into the mud pit and cannot get out. If there are people sitting on it, it will just spin around in place.

The reason why China did not introduce four-wheeled carriages back then was probably because there were too many muddy fields. Because the two-wheeled carriages did not have a large load, they could travel and turn in the mud with great strength. If they were replaced, they could pull three or four tons. The four-wheeled carriage will definitely not work.

However, although the Han army could not move forward, the mud in the Dian Kingdom could not stop the Bo people. Those "elite men" and leading party members trained by Kuai Che came from all over the country in a light rain and gathered in Liu Ying's village. In the big tent.

So Liu Ying was a little miserable.

At this moment, there was a lot of quacking and quacking in his ears, as if ten thousand ducks were galloping past...

Well, the language barrier.

He didn't understand a single word the Bo people leader said!

But that doesn't matter, he knows how to handle the situation.

That is laughing.

Grinning his mouth, revealing eight white and crystal-clear teeth, he looked at everyone in front of him with sunny smiles...

In fact, he is very clear about the purpose of these Bo people leaders.

With the arrival of the Han army, the kingdom of Dian will be at peace. With the arrival of the Han army, there will be a blue sky...

If you can get some more benefits, it will be perfect!

It's just that Liu Ying also knows that if the leading party can abandon their own ethnic group, they will definitely be able to abandon him again in the future.

Therefore, hypocrisy and submissiveness are all.

After a while, the host and guests enjoyed themselves, and the leaders of the Bo people withdrew happily. Only Kuai Che, who had come all the way in the starry night, stayed behind when he heard that Liu Ying's army had arrived.

At this time, Kuai Che's appearance was very different from what Liu Ying saw when he was in Chang'an City.

The complexion is dark and thin, the cheekbones are raised, and the temples are gray. He looks quite old.

So Liu Ying stood up, walked to Kuai Che's side in a few steps, stretched out her hand to grab his arm, with a sad face: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the husband is so old... I'm sorry, sir..."

These few words of his are a bit true, although not much...

After all, he and Kuai Che are old acquaintances, and at this moment, he can still remember the high-spirited and underestimated appearance of the other party when they first met each other.

It's just that she was quickly wrapped in a sack and thrown into the Yeyi Gold Mine...

Facing Liu Ying's emotion at this moment, Kuai Che felt that a scholar died for his confidant, although it was not much...

But he still trembled with his hands, holding Liu Ying's arm instead of the guest, and said tremblingly: "If you can get His Majesty's words, I will die immediately, and there will be no regrets in this life..."

Talk as you speak, why are you so hot... Liu Ying pulled out her arm without a trace, looked at the large box of copper mines that Chongda had brought in, and waved her hand, beckoning an engineer who came with the army to come forward and have a look.

Amidst the sound of beating and beating, Liu Ying held her breath and waited quietly for the result together with Kuai Che, Chong Da, and Zhang Buyi who often watched him "ghostly".

This guy is jealous... Liu Ying raised her face, full of pride.

After all, Liu Ying often showed Zhang Busu the letters written by Dou Yifang, which made Zhang Busu even more anxious. After all, little loli was healthy and delicious, so he might be the one with the problem...

After a while, the veteran engineer Liu Ying brought from Chang'an stood up excitedly, his hands trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes wide and said: "Good mine, I have been smelting copper all my life, and I have never seen such a high-quality copper mine." Copper Mine!"

Liu Ying tilted her head slightly and asked, "Is this true?"

The old craftsman drew a stroke on the neck, and said with a smile:

"Guaranteed by the head! These ores are of high quality and contain few impurities. If you use the new furnace made by the prince, you can directly smelt red copper!"

Liu Ying smiled and said nothing, but Zhang Buyi stepped forward and asked, "Red copper? Isn't it brass?"

The old craftsman was delighted to see Lie, so he took the trouble to explain: "Young Master, I don't know, because the furnace temperature is not enough when smelting copper, so it is often necessary to add some other materials to smelt copper water and cast molds."

"Well, in the past, smelting could only rely on the experience of the engineer, and judge the temperature of the furnace by observing the color of the fire, but now with the thermometer made by the prince, you only need to watch the numbers, add fire if there is less, and remove the fire if there is too much. This is why metallurgical workshops are everywhere today!"

"After all, it took at least ten years to train an engineer who can accurately judge the furnace temperature, but now it takes two months..."

Zhang Buyi frowned, looked at the old engineer with a look of emotion, and continued to ask: "But, what does this have to do with red copper and brass?"

Liu Ying said with a smile: "Our son is idle all day long, so he doesn't know the way of metallurgy. I'll teach you alone."

Well, in front of people he doesn't know well, he doesn't call me, but Gu. After all, etiquette cannot be broken.

"After copper ore is mined, it is generally smelted on site to remove some impurities, and then the rough embryos are transported to the rear for refining. To obtain pure copper, the furnace temperature needs to be raised to 83 degrees, after all, the melting point of copper is one One thousand and eighty-three degrees, in this state, what you get is red copper."

"Well, red copper is the real copper."

"But the crux of the problem is that the highest temperature that firewood can reach is no more than [-] degrees, so we need to find other ways, either to increase the furnace temperature, or to lower the melting point of copper."

"The former is the secret of the swordsmith masters in ancient times, so since the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there are very few who can be called magical weapons..."

"The latter is inevitable for the development of the times. After all, the many bronze wares cannot all be made by master swordsmiths."

Zhang Buyi nodded slightly, but was still a little confused.

So Liu Ying went on to say:

"Therefore, there is a saying in "Kao Gong Ji" that gold has six equalities: six parts of gold and tin are one, which is called the equalization of bells and tripods; The gold and the tin are in one place, which is called the uniformity of the spear and halberd; the third is the gold and the tin is in the first place, which is called the great sword; , It is called the Qi of Jiansui."

"In fact, the reason is very simple, that is to add other different metals to red copper, and then the melting point of copper can be lowered. Through different proportions, metals with different melting points and hardness can be obtained, which can be used to cast different utensils."

"For example, the Jijin (bronze) for casting ritual vessels, adding tin can not only reduce the melting point of copper to [-] degrees, but also have better fluidity and make it easier to shape."

Zhang Buyi suddenly realized, and nodded heavily: "So that's the case. What the engineer said just now is that the copper material in the Dian Kingdom is better than the copper material in the Central Plains, and can produce more pure... um, red copper!"

God, he finally understood... Liu Ying looked up at the sky, which made Zhang Bu doubt a little ashamed.

But close to Mo Zhehei, as Liu Bang's son-in-law, he is cultivating his ability to do his own thing, so the sense of shame is fleeting, and he just looks at the copper mine on the ground with bright eyes.

He knew that Liu Ying ran to this place where nothing shits like a bird, and rolled in the mud pit every day, definitely not for a place of the size of Dian Kingdom.

Sure enough, this is the legend of not getting up early without benefit!
So he touched his pocket, and said in his heart that it was hateful...

When I went out, because I was going to fight, I didn't bring too much money, and the most important thing was that I didn't bring money tickets!

This, how can he get a share?
So under Liu Ying's bewildered face, Zhang Buyi bowed in groups, and immediately ran to the outside of the hall.

"Why are you running so fast?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that I haven't written the letter to Sister Ni today! Also, lend me the pigeons in the army!"

Liu Ying and Kuai Che looked at each other, and said with a sneer, "That guy has bronchitis, let's talk about ours, and ignore him."

Kuai Che nodded and did not speak, but said in his heart that like birds of a feather flock together, and people who are often surprised and confused are surrounded by people who are surprised and confused...

"Well, that's right. How's the civil strife in Dian Kingdom?" Liu Ying began to find nothing to say.

"Now the five countries are rising together, and there are two less powers than the previous seven countries." Kuai Che recalled, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The two most powerful forces have now been completely disabled under his help, and they have announced their withdrawal from the war for the King of Dian.

Well, it is different from the seven heroes of the Warring States Period where you live and die, the Dian Kingdom is still in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the defeated party will not be driven out as long as it admits counsel and becomes a vassal.

The Kingdom of Dian was forcibly promoted from the Half Stone Age to the Bronze Age by immigrants from the Chu Kingdom, and its productivity was not developed, so it was only a hegemon but not a king.

After all, if the clan is to be exterminated, they will definitely resist with all their might, and both sides will inevitably suffer countless casualties.

No matter how much land there is, it is useless if no one cultivates it!

Liu Ying nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That is to say, as long as the Han army can defeat the five 'electors', they will be able to directly obtain the title of King of Dian?"

"Elector?"

"That's not important, that is to say, if you defeat those five families, will Gu be able to add another laurel crown to King Dian?"

Kuai Che nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "In the past, the people of Chu came from afar, and this is how they won the throne of King Dian. Naturally, His Highness can do the same."

Liu Ying looked at Zhou Yafu, who was standing in the tent, who had never said a word: "pass on the order, and the whole army will set off early tomorrow morning to attack Dianchi Lake!"

　The statement in "Kao Gong Ji" is most likely a recipe conceived by literati who don't care about production, and only want to fight neatly...
