160 The First Furnace of the Northern Song Dynasty (League Leader Plus 4)

"The boss is too worried, and he just wants to use the boss's experience in dealing with the Tibetan people to continue to deal with the Tibetan people. Xia Guo is like a poisonous sore, if you don't want to die, but it will make people weaken day by day. Rather than allowing it to flare up every day, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. All these things that the boss saw and what he didn't see were all preparations for dealing with Xia Guo'er, but I couldn't catch it alone, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get into my eyes, so I invited me here. ”

The truth must not be said, this is the bottom line. But it's hard to convince people if you don't say anything, it's hard to die. I thought about it for a long time, and then I said a lot of nonsense tactfully, obscurily and obscurely.

"Hehehehe...... It's rare to find someone more arrogant than me, Wang Shao. Let's just let the old man see how the horse's ability is to Ping Xixia. At present, the old man has no soldier in his hands, and although the child has a military position, it is difficult for him to preside over the affairs of the road. I heard the craftsmen talk about the ore just now, and the old man can help with one or two. Some of my clan are engaged in mining in Yuzhou, and they have copper and iron, so they can send letters to Hou'er, and someone will come to visit them soon. Wang Shao smiled when he heard this, first broke off the hope of borrowing from the horse, and then gave a gift, which can be regarded as repaying some favors.

"I can't thank you enough...... The old man is in poor health, so it is better to go back to the house first, and when the molten iron comes out of the iron furnace, I will send someone to the house. ”

Hong Tao also heard that this veteran also had concerns about his identity, and he didn't want to mix more with himself on military and political issues, but he was willing to provide him with some help, whether it was to repay favors or really want to share worries for the country.

"It's a better place for the old man than a couch, and the colt doesn't have to worry about my body." And the old man was very stubborn, he didn't want to leave until he saw the molten iron coming out, and he didn't hesitate to wait for a day and a night.

It is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, since he is willing to Hong Tao, there is no need to insist, the main thing is to have a bottom in his heart, no matter what the quality of this furnace of molten iron is, it will not be worse than contemporary ironmaking technology, and it can be crushed only in terms of quantity.

The rest of the time, Hong Tao did not accompany Wang Shaosil and wait, and from time to time he had to go down to have a field understanding of the situation of the blast furnace. Although the form of molten iron is not accurate, the process can be supervised to avoid the recurrence of Wen Xiaosan's tragedy.

The blast furnace is not only hot, but also has the potential to explode, and is more powerful than a cannonball. Once there is danger, not only will Wujin Xing suffer losses, but I am afraid that the entire Kaifeng City will have to be shaken three times, and when the time comes, if it is crowned as a ghost and a god, the eldest brother may not be able to save himself.

In fact, it is quite terrible not to explode, as the sun sets in the west, a flame several meters high appears on the chimney of the blast furnace. The color of this flame is not the same as that of ordinary flames, burning white from time to time and blue flame heads, and with a lake of clear water, it is very charming.

This abnormal appearance soon attracted the forbidden army of Zhubanzhi, who came to check on the emperor's order, and in the original words of Emperor Shenzong: I watched the vision of the West at night in the palace, and I did not know the good luck.

This team of forbidden troops is not like ordinary forbidden troops, the armor is gilded, Hong Tao's small waist card is taken out and used no matter what, the leader of the team is almost caught in the corner of his eye, I have to ask why this weird big furnace spits flames, and whether there is evil in it. If you don't know it, you have to smash the stove open to see it before you can go back to your life.

"Daji! Wait for the hurry back to Your Majesty, there is no need to panic if there are ministers here, and the ministers will personally go to the court early tomorrow morning to solve your Majesty's doubts! ”

When Hong Tao was in trouble, Lian'er appeared with Wang Shao in her arms. In terms of experience in how to deal with this kind of trouble, the little girl is definitely a person who understands. I'm afraid that as soon as the forbidden army appeared, she guessed the result, and it was useless for the donkey to come forward, and she had to ask for foreign aid!

The little girl guessed correctly, as soon as Wang Shao appeared, the officer of the forbidden army immediately put away his chin and stomach, listened to the instructions respectfully, and left with people without saying a word.

This is really the name of the shadow man of the tree, having a good reputation is more useful than the official position, even if he is no longer in command of the army, he is not a privy deputy envoy, and he still speaks at the top.

However, Wang Shao's words were not said for the grace of saving the horse's life, and the credit was all due to the swarthy piece of iron in Wang Fu's hand.

The molten iron was baked at the end of the day, and as soon as it was poured into the refractory trough, the craftsmen around knelt down in a large piece, worshipping the land and worshipping the ancestors, but it was the horse who taught them the magic skills that was finally remembered.

In Wu Si's words, after refining iron for most of his life, he is considered blind, and he has not seen as much good iron as the furnace of the horse. This furnace of molten iron does not need to wait for forging, just look at the color and state.

Wang Hou was still anxious than Wu Si, he didn't wait for the molten iron to solidify, so he rolled a piece of iron brazing and ran quickly to Da Ao, and soon Wang Shao also came, and he went to Tiezuo with Wu Si, to see if this iron could be forged into good steel.

What he was holding in his hand was a piece of 100 steel, which was forged by the samurai blacksmiths for an hour and a half, and before he could form it, the forbidden army came.

Not only did the forbidden army come, but the crown of the Water Tiger Wing also didn't sleep all night. He is worse than Hong Tao, and he can't understand the color of molten iron at all, but he still knows very well about the ring-headed straight knife created by the martial artist.

Because this is an officer's saber, he also has one, and he compares it with each other, and the new knife is a complete victory in weight, sharpness, and toughness.

The most important thing is the three-edged armor piercing cone, with a crossbow, the mountain armor has no resistance in front of it, and the heavy arrow can penetrate two layers of armor from a hundred steps away, as long as the shot is on target, there is no possibility of sliding away or bouncing off.

If it is accompanied by a light arrow throw, the same effect can be achieved from a distance of 200 paces. No matter how far away you can't try, the crossbowmen of the Water Tiger Wing don't have such good arm strength and accuracy.

"Du Wei will definitely be able to soar with this furnace, and don't forget the brothers in Jin Mingchi when the time comes." But this achievement alone is already very remarkable, which is equivalent to increasing the power of Song Jun's long-range attack by a large margin. According to the principle of eliminating the advantages of one or the other, the enemy's defenses will be stretched.

"Brother Wang forgot that I am a colt, can I still be the prime minister? Let's talk about something that you can see and touch. In a few days, I'm going to Jingzhao Mansion to serve as a shipping envoy, and I'll see how stargazing is going by the way. ”

Without strong energy, the higher you fly, the harder you fall. Hong Tao asked himself if he had the ability to go to the court to play games with people like Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, and he had no friends in the political struggle.

Don't look at these two trying to protect themselves now, as long as there is a conflict of interests, they can turn their faces faster than turning a book. Instead of suffering, it is better to get more benefits, such as contacting a maritime merchant or something.

"Good! Great goodness! Even if there is no chart, the captain must be happy to accompany him. It's just a duty, and you still need to receive orders. ”

The crown is not an official fan, and he has no illusions about his career, but he is very enthusiastic about sailing, and he clapped his hands at the moment, and then said that he couldn't help himself with a bitter face.

"It's okay, I will ask Your Majesty for my life at that time, otherwise with this body, I will get seriously ill if I can't walk to Jingzhao Mansion."

Hong Tao felt that this problem was not a problem at all, even if he wanted to travel lightly, the emperor would not agree, as long as he took the waterway, except for the Water Tiger Wing and the Water Tiger Jie, there was no other forbidden army available in the capital.

Wang Shao's father and son didn't stay long, they were going to the imperial city before dawn with a straight knife, intending to present an auspicious rui to the emperor, but Hong Tao stopped him.

is still the same low-key rhetoric of being a colt, persuading the old man not to go to the court to talk nonsense, which can only add countless troubles. If he really wanted to help, Hong Tao gave him a note, don't go to the emperor, go to Wang Anshi in private first.

How to say that it turned out to be a close comrade-in-arms on the same front, even if there was an estrangement because of the past, it was an internal contradiction, not irreconcilable.

Besides, it would be a bit offensive to skip the prime minister and contact the emperor directly. If you want to gain the support of the imperial court in this matter, you must give some credit to the prime minister, and you don't want to benefit anyone who gets up early.

"Du Wei can enter the court as a prime minister!" After listening to the explanation of the broken horse, Wang Shao touched his beard and didn't speak for a long time, and it was quite scary to say a sentence coldly.

"Don't be afraid, the old man has also been an official for many years and understands the difficulties of the captain. Back then, it was because I didn't know how to retreat to advance that I suffered this ordeal, thanks to the timely reminder of the captain, otherwise I would have made a big mistake. ”

Seeing the consternation on the horse's face, Wang Shao hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that he was just talking and would not make any moves, so he took the straight knife and got on the horse with his son and left.
