Chapter 48: Refined Iron
"Well done, my lord, I will accuse him of stealing my old hen."
"Sir, I'm here, he ruined my crops."
Once someone really comes forward, the people watching will immediately feel confident and accuse everyone of their crimes one by one.
"Don't be anxious, take your time, I'll record it one by one." Everyone in the law enforcement team can write, and they record the charges one by one. Once they record one sentence, they will give them a beating. After an hour, there is only one person left standing in the square.
Yes, but I have to remember everything carefully so that I won't break my muscles and bones. After all, I still have to work in the mines.
"Dear fellow villagers, the governor is aware of everything. I will take all these people away now. From now on, you can just farm with peace of mind." The law enforcement captain saw that everyone was in good hands, and he immediately used a rope to
String them all up and take them directly to the mine. As for being dishonest when they get to the mine? There is a whole battalion there, and they are treated as if they are playing.
"Master Qingtian! We can finally live a peaceful life." When the law enforcement team took away the green-skinned gangsters, the people knelt on the ground, and Sun Yu's reputation in various villages suddenly became very good.
"Sir, we are all alive. We have arrested about two hundred people in total and sent them to the mine." Zhang Daqiu personally went to the mine to arrange all the personnel and report to Sun Yu.
"Well, fight evil with evil. Keep an eye on me. If you work well, you will eat and drink a lot. If you don't work well, you will be hungry for two days." Sun Yu had no sympathy for these green-skinned scoundrels.
Some moths are useless for production.
The next day, light rain began to fall. Sun Yu sat on a small stool and looked at the rain dripping down the branches and leaves. He felt homesick for some reason. Since the day he returned to Jiangning, Sun Yu had not had a proper rest.
I finally have some free time in this rainy season, so I can make a pot of tea and enjoy the scenery of this village. I don’t know what’s going on with Qing’er. When Jianzhou is leveled, I have to fix the inn. In my free time, I can
I can write two letters back.
"Young Master, Young Master, it's done!" Sun Sandao trotted all the way happily, and shouted loudly when he saw Sun Yu.
"What's the matter? You're the one who is in charge, why can't you be more stable?" Sun Yu said angrily. It was raining and he didn't know how to hold an umbrella, so he just ran around in the rain.
"Come from the mine to report that the iron smelting is done. Look, sir, the fine iron!" Sun Sandao took out an iron lump from under his clothes and handed it to Sun Yu like a treasure, for fear of accidentally hitting him.
As if broken.
"You bastard, this is iron, it won't break in the rain!" Sun Yu cursed, feeling happy in his heart. He took the hand and looked at it carefully. In fact, it was just a lump of iron. Sun Yu didn't know whether it was good or bad at all, but this gesture
It's got to be enough.
"Well, it is indeed fine iron. Let's go to the craftsman camp and let the masters take a look." The craftsman camp is a battalion just established by Sun Yu. It is mainly responsible for the repair and manufacturing of weapons and equipment. The main personnel are from the construction camp.
The hundreds of craftsmen brought from Ou, and a group of apprentices recruited from nearby villages, are currently repairing the armor.
There is no commander in the craftsman camp, but evaluation is based on personal abilities. Three of the most skilled craftsmen were appointed by Sun Yu as master craftsmen, and their treatment is comparable to that of the commander. These three people are the highest-ranking people in the craftsman camp.
There are three levels: master craftsman, craftsman, and apprentice. Everyone receives salary according to their own level.
"Master Liang, Master He, and Master Qian, all put aside what you are doing." The three master craftsmen were all instructing the people below to repair the armor.
People are masters who can make fine armors on their own, so Sun Yu naturally treats him with courtesy.
"I have met you in this humble position!" The three of them came in front of Sun Yu and saluted respectfully. They were forced to leave their hometown and they were still hiding it, but the treatment given by Sun Yu completely exceeded their imagination, and they were all very motivated craftsmen.
That’s all, no matter how high your craftsmanship is, it was hard to have any status before.
"All three of them are master craftsmen. Let's see how the quality of the piece of iron in my hand is." Sun Yu handed the piece of iron to the three master craftsmen for inspection.
"Sir, this iron block is pure in texture and has not been forged in appearance. It is quite rare." The three of them have been dealing with iron all year round. As soon as they handled it, they knew that this iron block was much better than what they had used in the past.
"Is it possible to use this material to forge weapons and armor?" Although Sun Yu thought that it was okay, he still had to speak from a professional before he could make up his mind.
"Of course, if you use such fine iron for forging, you can save half the time." Master Liang touched his beard, made an estimate and replied, and the other two nodded in agreement. The most troublesome thing for blacksmiths when forging is the impurities in the iron.
This step requires constant forging and tempering, which is the most time-consuming and laborious. The impurities in the piece of iron in front of you are obviously much lower.
Sun Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, his efforts were not in vain. Coal itself burns at a high temperature. He later designed blowing equipment for the blast furnace, which burned more fully and naturally had much fewer impurities.
"Okay, from now on, our craftsmanship battalion will use this item to forge weapons and armor. In the future, I would like to ask three masters to speed up the crafting to meet the needs of each battalion as soon as possible." Sun Yu felt happy if all his soldiers were wearing high-quality armor.
, those two forces are nothing, just push them equally.
"Don't worry, sir. The craftsmanship camp is currently running very well. When the new iron materials arrive, it will be even more powerful. The boys under me are also very agile. After a while, the output will increase." Master He said.
He was very excited. With the use of this kind of iron material, the output of craftsmanship would inevitably increase. At that time, the status of himself and others would also increase.
"Well, the pigsty will send you some meat later, and I'll give you extra meals tonight." Sun Yu was also happy. Recently, some of the castrated pigs in the pigsty will not recover well, so he will give them to the soldiers directly.
They need to have extra meals. This craftsmanship camp is also a strenuous job, so we need to give them some extra oil and water.
"Thank you, Sir!" The three master craftsmen thanked them quickly. Who doesn't like eating meat? As soon as Sun Yu left, they immediately asked the craftsmen under him to work hard. The prerequisite for this good life to be continued is that Sun Yu can
Defeat those gangsters or everything will be over.
As Sun Yu walked, he was thinking about what to do next. Today, the female teacher and the Minxi Gang must be dealt with before the autumn harvest, otherwise there will be no way to stabilize Jianzhou this year. After all, King Jinjiang's time is running out. If
If you want to intervene in the affairs of the Qingyuan Jiedu Envoy, you must have at least tens of thousands of elites, otherwise you won't be able to make any waves.
"Sir, be careful!" Sun Yu slipped inadvertently, and Sun Sandao quickly caught him.
"It's okay, San Dao, go and call Yang Qifeng." Everything will be done if you are prepared, and if you are not prepared, it will be ruined. Although we cannot use large-scale troops at the moment, there should be some movement.
Sun Yu returned to his residence and looked at the map in detail. Sha County and Youxi County were quite far apart. If the troops were used properly, they could defeat each other. If the two armies were united, it would be difficult for him to attack. After all, the two parties together would not be able to attack him.
It’s almost tens of thousands, and I really don’t have the strength to resist the city and defend it.
There is a saying in the art of war: surround it ten times, attack it five times, and divide it if you double it. If you have all your men, you can have seven or eight thousand men, and you have to add Cheng Zhenbei's troops on the Fusha side, which should be considered as points.
And attack it.
"I have met you in this humble position, sir." Yang Qifeng entered the door and saluted directly without taking off his raincoat.
"Commander Yang, please sit down! Warm up by the fire and don't catch a cold." Sun Yu was still used to calling Yang Qifeng his military rank. There were no antibiotics in this era, and colds could be fatal.
"Thank you, Sir. I have been practicing martial arts all year round in my humble position. It won't be a problem." Although Yang Qifeng has been in the world for many years and is used to being indifferent to fame and fortune, if there is a chance, who wouldn't want to give it a try and benefit his descendants. No matter how good his martial arts skills are, he and his wife almost fell into trouble that day.
, now I just want to gain fame with Sun Yu.
"Commander Yang, where do you think I will attack next?" Sun Yu asked without forcing himself, pointing to the map.
"Of course it's the Heavenly Girl Sect that's entrenched in Youxi County." Yang Qifeng thought about this matter for a long time and immediately replied without hesitation.
"Why?" Sun Yu smiled slightly. Even Yang Qifeng thought so, and probably everyone else thought so too.
"My lord, when we first arrived, we defeated the Bai Yutang. The next step was naturally the weaker Celestial Girl Sect. From then on, our army set off and attacked General Cheng from Fusha from both sides. Naturally, we got twice the result with half the effort." Since ancient times, sweeping the surrounding area has been done first and then later.
Difficult, keep growing stronger, and finally solve the tough nut.
"What you said is true. I will take action against the Heavenly Girl Sect entrenched in Youxi County in the near future. You can send your brothers out to spy on the news. If you have a chance, you can kill them. Anyway, I want the people of Youxi County to be in panic.
An Ning, can you do it?" What Sun Yu wants is to make everyone think that he is going to attack You Xi, and then catch him by surprise. As for why he didn't tell Yang Qifeng, it's not because he doesn't believe it, but because he is afraid that if he knows, it will inevitably leak out
Flaws are not beautiful.
Yang Qifeng rushed back excitedly. This task was what they were best at, and they might be able to achieve great success.
"Luoxue, I want to go to Youxi in person." Yang Qifeng discussed this with his wife immediately after returning to the camp.
"Brother Feng, why don't I come with you?" Ye Luoxue was worried. The female teacher was also a master that day and was not easy to get along with.
"But Hu'er is still young..." Yang Qifeng thought of his son and was quite worried. If he wanted to make this trip a success, he would have to take risks.
"Brother Feng, I believe we will definitely come back." Ye Luoxue held Yang Qifeng's hand tightly.
"Okay! Let's set off early tomorrow morning." Yang Qifeng made up his mind to make a big splash this time.
"Brothers, your Majesty is going to attack the bandit Tiannu Cult in Youxi soon. We will be the vanguard and go to Youxi first. This trip is dangerous, but Your Majesty will treat me well. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will risk my life. My husband and I will go to Youxi tomorrow.
Early in the morning, I went to Youxi. Brothers who are willing to go with me drank a bowl of wine!" Yang Qifeng picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Done!"
"Done!"
A group of martial arts people picked up their wine bowls and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Okay, there are so many of us and the goal is too big. We can only break it into pieces and sneak into Youxi. Old Liu, you and your brothers will gather here..." Yang Qifeng informed him of his arrangements one by one.
