Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 232 Metallurgical Field

After the three-month period of filial piety, Sun Quan temporarily took off his filial piety. The first decree was to formally appoint Lu Xun and Lu Ji to serve as historians for the East and West respectively. He followed He Qi to Kuaiji, Dantu, Haining, Yongjia and other places to recruit. The militiamen recruited Pan Lin to join the army.

Qiao Wei took Mr. Mo San to Danyang to inspect the steel smelting field. Sun Kuang, as the prefect of Danyang, also understood the importance of this matter. He almost did all the setting up of the situation himself. In the name of keeping filial piety, he hid in Danshan Zhongsan. The moon has not yet risen, and he almost eats and sleeps in the same place as the craftsmen in the field.

Sun Kuang took the lead and worked so hard, and the other officials around him were even more dedicated. How could the craftsmen in that field not be touched? In just three months, not only had the steel smelting field been built, but the two months of studying in the field had already The first batch of highly completed Bailiang steel was successfully produced.

Because there were still some technical uncertainties, Rongsheng presided over the smelting of three furnaces of steel. Although the first two furnaces also produced good-quality steel, the toughness was not yet what Rongsheng wanted. Dozens of craftsmen gathered together. After studying and improving together day and night, we finally made the real Bailian Steel a few days before Qiao Wei arrived at Danshan.

Sun Kuang first took Qiao Wei and Mo Sangong to check the environment of the site and the steelmaking situation, and then went to the armory to check out the first batch of hundred steelmaking weapons that had been forged.

There are a total of 2,000 weapons forged from Baidu Steel, mainly Huanshou Swords and Divination Halberds, which are also the weapons most commonly used by soldiers in the military camp. The cavalry holds Huanshou Dao, while the infantry mainly uses Divination Halberds.

Sun Kuang also specially brought the most commonly used armors and weapons in the army, and asked the guards around him to demonstrate the battle to Qiao Wei, while excitedly explaining to Qiao Wei what kind of technology the steel filling method presented by Rong Sheng was. , and what an exciting technological breakthrough.

He was talking to himself so much that he was spitting and couldn't hide the light in his eyes. He completely didn't notice the half-smiling expression of Mr. Mo on the side.

Qiao Wei did not interrupt Sun Kuang. Instead, he listened carefully to every word he said and nodded in agreement from time to time.

Sun Kuang had stayed in the steel smelting field in the mountains for more than two months, watching people turn black into coal. If she hadn't been somewhat familiar with his face, she wouldn't have been able to describe the previously fair and gentle Sun family. The Fourth Young Master was connected with the dark man in front of him who looked like a double-door refrigerator.

They are completely different. If they weren't two different people, they wouldn't be the same person at all.

Sure enough, no matter what era you are from, going to work will be filled with a strong sense of class.

Seeing the guard holding the Hundred-Refined Steel Ring's First Sword slashing open the armor of the stake man, Sun Kuang's face turned red with excitement. He couldn't help but cheer loudly, and he clapped hard with both hands until his hands turned red. .

Qiao Wei was also very satisfied with the effect. He walked to the guard and wanted to take a closer look at the ring-headed sword.

When the guard next to Sun Kuang saw Qiao Wei looking so calm and collected, he couldn't help but said in his heart, "Why is Madam so calm? Is there something dissatisfied about her?"

Sun Kuang disagreed, "Women, they don't understand how powerful these things are. They are just watching for fun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Young Master Mo couldn't help but chuckle.

Sun Kuang was very puzzled, "Why is Mr. Mo smiling? Is there something else on someone's face?"

Sun Kuang was not very interested in these craftsmen's skills at first, but after coming to this metallurgical field, he realized that the profound skills involved are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and after he saw the ingenious continuous crossbow, he was even more convinced that he could create such exquisite craftsmanship. After seeing the powerful killing weapon, he was even more impressed by Mr. Mo San.

Otherwise, with his status as the Fourth Young Master of the Sun family, how could he be so polite to the Third Young Master Mo, who was a craftsman. "You say Madam doesn't understand?" Mr. Mo San smiled and said, "Then you know that the first person to discover the profoundness of this steel-filling method was Madam. That Rongsheng ran into trouble everywhere with the drawings, and had to ask me for help. Take it in. But only Madam could understand the real power of this method at a glance.

By the way, I can tell Fourth Young Master that the ingenious and ingenious repeated crossbow that you praised earlier was also the idea of ​​Madam, and I and Mo just used it in name. "

Young Master Mo took a few steps forward and followed Qiao Wei to examine the Huanshou Sword carefully, leaving Sun Kuang alone stunned and speechless for a long time.

After Qiao Wei inspected a circle, Sun Kuang arranged for him to temporarily live in a room on the site. After dinner, Rong Sheng's son Rongli came to see Qiao Wei and wanted to get Qiao Wei's consent. Let him go down the mountain and you can join the recruitment office. He wants to follow him to conquer Shanyue.

"Is this why you came to me?" Qiao Wei glanced at him from a distance during the day, but he followed Rong Sheng, obviously a little absent-minded. "If you want to join the recruitment, find him." The manager at the venue will just give you the paperwork."

The Han Dynasty still mainly relied on the recruitment system, and also established a compulsory military system.

But it is not easy to recruit soldiers these days. If you want to recruit, most of the village commanders will give you paperwork. However, Rongli is a craftsman and has some skills in his hands. Sun Kuang probably won't let him go.

Rongli lowered his head and said, "The people here are kind-hearted, and so are the princes. They rejected my document because of my father's old age."

It sounds like this mayor is indeed kind-hearted.

After all, with the pressure of orders and KPIs from above, an ordinary village leader would like to be caught alone and sent to the battlefield to be able to communicate, let alone an outsider like Rongli, who would take into account the separation of father, son and husband at home.

And the fact that the chief could keep him and let him fulfill his filial piety first seemed to be particularly caring and kind. As for Sun Kuang, he probably just didn't want to let go of such a young craftsman with certain skills.

"Actually, what the chief said is not unreasonable." Qiao Wei also advised him, "I know you want to avenge your family, but now the recruitment of soldiers is just the beginning. There are no eyes on the battlefield, and you don't want to He could easily have died on the battlefield before he saw Pan Lin's ending!

What's more, your father has lost his wife and several sons, and you are the only one left. If you also die on the battlefield, and your father will be miserable in his later years, can you bear it? "

Of course I can't bear it.

Rong Li was not ignorant of this truth, but as soon as he heard that Pan Yue was going to be attacked, he really couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart. As long as there was a chance to take revenge, he was willing to do it without hesitation.

"If you want revenge, I can also tell you that your battlefield is not outside, but here. The steel-making method in your father's hands still needs human hands, but your father is not good at words, and he can't live without you. If you Inheriting his father's knowledge, he has now mastered the method of steel-making, and with the magic weapon in the hands of Mr. Mo San, our Jiangdong Army can defeat ten enemies one at a time.

It's just Pan Lin. It will be easy to kill him. In the future, I can also ask the prince to let you personally kill the enemy and avenge your mother and brother.

In other words, most of the soldiers who are now conquering Shanyue are ordinary people. They are frequently troubled by Shanyue's intrusions and are in danger. We, the Jiangdong Army, want to conquer Sanyue, which is a righteous cause, so we do not want to increase the number of innocent lives and cause further hatred. If you serve well here, you can save more people like you from suffering from the separation of wives and children, and the hatred of fathers and brothers.

There are many things you can do more than being a soldier and dying in vain. Save your life and let's talk about revenge. "
