After getting off the train, Zhao Jun kept turning his head and saw that all the ground had been hardened and looked very dry.
Qin Jun just glanced at them strangely, *their things are very boring, the life in the military camp is very boring, billiards or other sports events make them waste a lot of time in their hands
It was the first time that Zhao Jun entered the Qin camp at such a close distance, they couldn't believe it
The soldiers of the Zhao army need to wait for a while, because the officers of the Qin army who brought them need to find the camp chief and they will arrange the accommodation of the Zhao army.
"Hey, do you want something to drink?" A non-commissioned officer of the Qin Army took the initiative to come forward. They thought that everyone who came here was a friend. Even if Zhao Jun went to the battlefield in the future to face the people from the Western Regions, they might be comrades in arms.
"Oh thank you," Zhao Jun, who looked like a small officer, said politely, and the Qin Jun sergeant handed him a bottle of liquor in a glass bottle.
"This is really strong," the junior officer Zhao Jun said after taking a sip
"Do you know what you are here for?" the sergeant said with a slight smile
The officer of the Zhao army shook his head, and some soldiers of the Zhao army behind him surrounded him. The sergeant of the Qin army kindly gave the wine bottle in his hand to the soldiers of the Zhao army. Let these soldiers of the Zhao army show a strong affection for the sergeant of the Qin army
"We are going to the Western Regions to fight the Western Regions. They are all cavalry. We have various types of troops. I guess you will go with us too," the sergeant said friendly
"Western Regions" Zhao Jun soldiers shouted
"For the Western Regions, we are going to the Western Regions to kick the people of the Western Regions," the sergeant said after taking a sip of his wine
"We don't know where that is," Zhao Jun's soldier said frankly
"Over there in the west there are deserts with tall, big-eyed * and untold amounts of gold. You take the same standard cheap rifles as we do and kill those poor Westerners and we take their * and gold after the war is over. I will retire and I will take the gold to buy a piece of land in the Western Regions and buy a few slaves, a lot of horses, a lot of sheep, and a lot of cattle, how beautiful it is to drink wine," said the sergeant
"The gold you snatched is your own," Zhao Jun's soldier said in disbelief.
"The silly boy is of course his own. Qin Jun has long stipulated that the spoils of war belong to him, have you seen those guys with revolver guns?" said the sergeant
"They are the ones who fight for the purpose of getting rich. Many of them have bought countless land properties. One person has more than 1000 acres of land and more than 100 horses," said the sergeant.
The soldiers of Zhao Jun turned their heads to look at those guys drinking and chatting with revolvers. They were discussing how to divide up the gold after conquering the Western Regions.
A breakthrough in 558 steelmaking technology
The soldiers of the Zhao army were stunned by what they saw and heard along the way, making them unable to speak, especially the clothes of the civilians of the Qin state were so different from theirs. This gap made it difficult for them to talk, especially There is a history of war between the two countries, but the difference here is that everyone is a soldier. There is a common relationship between soldiers. Although they have beautiful military uniforms, the relationship between soldiers cannot be separated by military uniforms.
Soldiers will always have a common topic, especially when they are allies. The first thing they talk about is their enemy. With a common enemy, the subtle barrier between the soldiers of the two countries will disappear without a trace. that easy
"Why don't you serve as a soldier just for the salary?" Sergeants are veterans Veterans know how to get along in the barracks
"Military pay" asked the soldiers
"Yes, we all have to pay to work," said the sergeant
"Oh, we never pay military pay, we just take care of one meal." The soldiers of Zhao Jun immediately raised the fear of having a comparison object in the world.
"It's just that we have always been in charge of food, and even the little chiefs don't send it," said the soldiers.
"God, I don't know how you got here," the sergeant said sympathetically.
"We can't send much, and the top only gives me fifty and a half taels a month. You have to know that a worker in Xianyang can earn five and a half taels a day. I don't know how much more than I earn in a month, so we rely on those. spoils," said the sergeant
"That's right, veteran, what you said is right, we should also grab more loot." Zhao Jun's soldiers started to make a fuss, and they began to think about how to grab the loot in the next battle.
"By the way, get back a big *woman," the sergeant said jokingly
"Hahaha" All the soldiers burst out laughing, many of them smiled slightly, they fought all their lives, many of them had never even touched a woman, this joke made the two armies have a common topic
"Everyone, everyone, come with me" At this time, the soldier in charge of Zhao Jun, the officer of Qin Jun, shouted loudly. They were sent to the No. [-] accommodation area in Ding District, where they will receive the basic training of Qin Jun. All Zhao Jun smiled. the leave they are friendly to the sergeant
From the sergeant's conversation, they knew what they were going to do next, which was to abandon the prejudices of Zhao Guo and Qin Guo. Everyone came here to make a fortune. There is no need for why Zhao Guo and Qin Guo messed around, and there was also a woman. They began to inquire about anything about the Western Regions, especially Qin Guo's purchase of land. They are particularly concerned about their desire to have their own thousand acres of land
With the idea of Zhao Jun, they integrated into the military cultural tradition of Qin Jun. They got the straight military uniform they had longed for, and then advanced trap door rifles, and the sergeants of Qin Jun led five of them to personally train them. The sergeants are always very patient and teach them how to train. In their free time, the sergeants chat with them and brag. The soldiers of Zhao Jun always hope that the sergeant will talk about the experience of the Qin army in foreign wars and then the story of making a fortune. The military camp is very boring. Veterans will invite guests to sit in a tavern and have a few drinks. Zhao Jun has no military salary and no source of income. They really hope to go to war as soon as possible.
The relationship between the two militaries was very harmonious during the co-existence, and the state of Qin has made a major breakthrough in metallurgy. The metallurgy major of Qin State University has explored the acid-based steelmaking method and the alkaline-based steelmaking method, and based on the blast furnace open hearth A converter also appeared. Although it was tested on a small scale in the laboratory, the results of this invention are enough to change the current severe steel demand in Qin State.
With the rapid development of the industrial revolution, the demand for the quantity and quality of steel is getting higher and higher. People began to seek new and more effective steelmaking methods. Qin's engineers also continued to do research.
However, when the pressurization test continued to explore, some people began to think of using a method of continuously blowing gas into the molten iron with pressurized equipment to make steel. This method has existed for a long time. Chemical experiments are always carried out in some bottles and cans. It is because liquid can always speed up the reaction speed, so molten iron is also a liquid state, why can't it do this, so some military engineers began to actively research
Niu Pin is such a person with unique ideas. He proposed to put the molten pig iron into the converter and blow high-pressure air to burn the silicon, manganese, carbon and phosphorus contained in the pig iron to make steel. His son Niu Xiaoer was named He also invented a pear-shaped movable converter. This converter can turn 1 shi of molten iron into steel in only 1 minutes. It would take a few days to complete it with the stirring method.
But what Niu and his sons researched is that the acid-based converter is difficult to oxidize and remove phosphorus in the acid-based converter environment. This situation has too high a requirement for ore dressing, which is unacceptable to the iron mines in the north. This also makes this newly invented. The steelmaking method was not approved by Wenyang Company
Although this method is not feasible, it is not without room for improvement. Another metallurgical engineer from the university improved the acid-based converter steelmaking method.
Li Ke proposed the alkaline converter steelmaking method, that is, the clinker fired at high temperature and tar mixed with dolomite are used to make alkaline refractory bricks. Combining the oxidized phosphorus with lime and remaining in the slag instead of returning to the steel, the dephosphorization problem was solved. His method quickly obtained a technical patent and was adopted by Wenyang Company in the north.
And Li Ke also got the position of metallurgical consultant for Wenyang Company, knowing that steelmaking will soon be made, and the north sent back the news of the success of steelmaking by telegram. Knowing that the State of Qin has mastered a method that can smelt 10 stone of steel within 1 minutes, the King of Qin is very happy
The demand for steel has always been a worry for King Qin, because cannons need high-quality steel to be strong and reliable, and a large number of guns also need steel. Now that so much steel can be smelted at once, King Qin is very happy. Soon he asked the royal bank to participate in the construction. The iron and steel factories speed up the smelting of iron and steel in order to increase the production of iron and steel to meet the needs of Qin State
559 Cruel Battle
Qin’s steelmaking technology still has a lot of improvement, such as blowing oxygen and hydrogen at the bottom, but it is not easy to smelt steel. With the emergence of steelmaking, the coal and iron ore mining industry began to develop rapidly.
Following the discovery of open-pit coal mines in the north, the state of Qin also discovered a lot of open-pit coal and iron ore near Guyang. The mining volume of iron ore also began to increase, and mineral processing began to become one of the indispensable steps in the mining industry.
Not only in Taiyuan County in the north, but also in Fenyang, Shanxi. Xiaoyi's generation of Qin State adopted drilling methods and discovered coal mines of higher quality than those in the north. The open-pit coal in the north contains a lot of sulfur, but the coal mines drilled from Taiyuan County are slightly less. It contains sulfur, so Qin has a second coal mine, and the demand for coal mines begins to increase.
At the same time, Zhao Guo also sent more people to search for black soil. Their targets were mainly concentrated in Daidi and Yunzhong. South Korea, which is located in the center of the Central Plains, cannot do large-scale ore prospecting like Qin and Zhao, but it can be used for business. Dao they began to sell the coal purchased from Qin to Qi and Chu, and the coal began to be recognized by the six countries
Just when the three countries were actively developing commercial trade, the battle between Yan and Qi began to heat up
King Yan was very dissatisfied with the stagnation of the battle between the two divisions. What he wanted was Linzi in Qi State instead of stopping in front of the trenches, so the order to attack was issued.
It is not only King Yan who issued the order, but also Hou Sheng. He also issued an order to recover the lost ground as soon as possible and began to deploy a large number of reinforcements to attack northward.
Historically, this Qi State is close to the border city of Zhao State, Wei State, and South Korea. Its location is far from Linzi, but Yan State chose this place as a breakthrough because no one would care about someone artificially launching an attack from this inconspicuous place.
However, both parties thought of going to Yan State together, thinking that this was a surprise, but why not Qi State? They chose this place also because of this idea. They wanted to launch an attack from the past and detour from the back of the Yan army. Because the emergence of trench warfare made the two sides The strength of the army gradually began to spread out in a line, which became a long snake formation, and the Qi army also strangled one end from the head of the snake.
For this reason, the two sides began to gather troops on a large scale
The Qi army has 5 people gathered here, half of them have changed into muskets, although they are not very skilled in operation, but it is enough
The first to attack was the Qi army
At night, the Qi army used iron scissors, a type of wire cutter similar to modern times, to cut through the barbed wire they had set up, and then a small group of people they organized climbed over the barbed wire, crossed no-man's land, and reached the other side's barbed wire.
Because the cans that Yan Jun hung on the barbed wire will make noise if they are not handled properly, so Qi Jun's team twisted the barbed wire very slightly Even so, some people accidentally touched these cans
A "bang" gunshot broke the calm of the night, and the Yan army discovered the situation, and an officer on the Qi army's side waved a large number of siege equipment and began to ignite the tung oil filled with clay pots, and pulled up the sackcloth around the pot. The clay pots flew up like a huge fireball, soaring into the air, one, two, three, countless pots suddenly appeared on Yan Jun's head
The fireballs kept hitting the Yan army's position, the pottery pots were broken, the tung oil splashed, and the Yan army standing in the trenches were ignited one after another. barbed wire
