Chapter 0120 Smoke in troubled times

The idea is to directly recruit the subordinates of the Shenlong Army. Most of the Zhuo's army are from people near Yingtianfu. Most of them have poor families, and some people are poor rural children and small farmers who don't even have land. At this time, land annexation became more and more serious, and most of the farmers in the countryside became real proletarians.

The extraordinary idea has been approved by everyone, which solves the manpower problem. It can also ensure loyalty and responsibility to the greatest extent. For example, the factory of the ordnance factory produces things that are related to the lives of the soldiers, and the relatives of the soldiers are workers. Can they cheat and slip through? Isn't that joking about the lives of their own relatives? And the relatives of the soldiers have also become military subordinates, and they can naturally train and fight without worries.

Only the ideas of battlefield rescue and field hospitals have to be let go for the time being. According to the extraordinary idea, Lang Zhong, who needs excellent medical skills and nurses who know battlefield rescue, and at the same time, they need to be able to follow the troops to fight. They are not too old. In this way, those military personnel are not suitable, and they can only find a way to do it slowly.

The extraordinary arrival finally put the original Zhuo family army and the current Dragon Army on the right track. The whole camp has the backbone. At the same time, the direction of development is clear, and everyone's responsibility is clear. The camp is developing towards Zhuofan's planned base, and Zhuo's extraordinary things are more. The problem of silver should be considered, and there are urgent materials. Both of these things cannot be delayed. Therefore, after Zhuo Fan lost Xiaoling for a day, he said goodbye to Fu Wanyu and Xiao Lingdang and took Zhou Tong to Jiangnan.

Zhuo Fan's walk is half a month. On this day, the capital, the palace, Chongzhen was chatting with the sullen Princess Changping and got the secret report of Jinyiwei.

After reading the secret newspaper, Chongzhen began to meditate, and Changping also took the memorial. There was no secret about her that Chongzhen was very spoiled.

"Shenlong Army?" Princess Changping said to herself doubtfully, but heard Chongzhen say, "This boy is not bold and cruel enough to kill 300 people of King Fu. Ha ha, my brother, it's time for him to have a headache."

"Which boy?" Changping asked doubtfully.

"What else is the one you think about all day?" Chongzhen looked at her with a smile.

"Ah, extraordinary? He, did he arrive in the south of the Yangtze River?" Changping exclaimed, and then blushed and said anly, "Father, you, you also made fun of Changping."

Chongzhen laughed and said, "The private soldiers and horses of the Zhuo family did not disband. They hid near Ying Tianfu. Now, Zhuobufan should be taking this army."

Long flat color was happy, and then asked with some worry, "Father, do you know that they raise private soldiers?" You know, this is a serious crime to kill the nine clans.

"I can trust Zhuo Yin, and he deliberately approved this matter through his mouth. Do you think Fatty Zhou can have fewer private customers? Zhuo Yin is more reliable than their old things. Don't look at your uncles staring at my seat. Zhuo Bofan chose a good place. At present, those exiles in Sichuan and Shaanxi are on the trend of resurgence, and General Guanwaihong secretly reported that the tatars may make a big move in the near future. Just let this boy stare at King Fu for me in the south. In the near future, the western army may be transferred to the north. Over there, Fuwang may not be willing to be lonely again.

Changping said happily, "It turns out that you trust him, father."

"He? Which one is him?" Chongzhen made another joke on Changping, and then suddenly said, "Changping, you have to remember that in this world, you can only trust yourself completely. The closer and trustworthy you are, the more harmful it will be to you. I gave this boy a little space because of you. When the barbarians and the northwest bandits are solved, if he still doesn't want to... Humph, don't blame me at that time.

Changping heard it and then said firmly, "Father, don't worry, he will not let you down."

At this time, thousands of miles away in the west of the Yumen Pass, a team of rare Hami fast horses had just submitted a customs clearance disc. As soon as they entered the Yumen Pass, they rushed straight to the east of the capital.

And across the Great Wall, the vast northern grassland, the calm grassland also surged. From most of the Mongolian tribes in the west to the Jianzhou headquarters in the east, they grabbed the machete bow, and countless grassland riders began to gather towards Jianzhou in the northeast. Slowly converged into a terrible torrent of iron horses acting like wind and thunder, targeting the Guanning Jin defense line closely guarded by 100,000 Chinese troops.

At the same time, a large number of Dahua troops were also transferred from the northwest and southwest departments of Guannei to the north. Dahua and Jianzhou Tatar, two powerful neighbors, slowly raised their fists outside the customs.

The line of sight turned back to the southwest pass, and the Dahuaping rebels greatly weakened their strength because they were pulled out of the pass. In Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king who had been rumored to have been wiped out by the Dahua army, but falsely accepted Zhao'an, suddenly rose up again, "to the death of the rebels", and 100,000 people gathered in a very short time, and even Kezhou Prefecture was unstoppable.

In Shaanxi, the old troops of King Li Chuang, who were also severely damaged by the Dahua Army, once again raised the flag of rebellion. A large number of hungry people and bandits responded together. For a while, they also rose sharply, echoing Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Sichuan and galloping in most of Shaanxi.

I don't know these extraordinary events, because at this time, he is wandering around the famous Tiemen Town with a sad face.

Half a month, Zhuo Fan has been around the places where Jiangnan smelting can be heard. There are some ways in Jiangnan smelting. He has even seen dozens of different quenching and refining methods. However, there is a common problem in various small workshops, that is, small scale and some special processes are also It's a secret that can't be passed on, let alone study, even if you can't watch it. Most importantly, Zhuo Fan did not see steel objects that exceeded the current production process of Tiangong, mostly hoe farm tools, and occasionally some large ploughs and so on, and didn't see anything special.

The mobile phone is out of power, and the charger is held by a flower. Otherwise, Zhuo Bufan checked who was the author of the Tiangong Kaiwu early in the morning and found him, even if he tied him up, he would be tied back.

I went to another blacksmith's shop, whose eyes were full of raw iron parts, and I didn't even see a decent steel piece. Zhuo was unhappy and took Zhou Tong around Tiemen Town, intending to go to the next place later. But at this time, I saw a group of people in front of me and didn't know what they were doing.

Zhou Tong opened his way, and Zhuo Fan squeezed in, but he saw a bearded man selling a few steel knives. At this time, there was no knife control, and there were many beasts in the mountains and fields. People often carried short knives and waist knives when they went far away, as long as they were not in large quantities. No one cares about trafficking. This man is doing ordinary business, but his hawking is unusual.

"Qujiabao knife, blow hair and break hair, cut the north and south iron mouths with a knife, break both sides of the river, and find a couple of silver without taking down the broken blade!"

Damn, at present, this neighboring blacksmith's fine iron shop is not happy. Bragging is not taxed, but you can't be worthless than others. At present, there are many masters and little guys competing with each other and taking out their own things to earn this two taels of silver.

When Zhuo Fan saw the short knife in the man's hand, his eyes lit up. The knife body was dark, but the more the blade became, the brighter and white it became. The transition in the middle was thick and natural, like nature. He felt similar to some foreign handmade high-end knives he had seen in his previous life. If that's true, it must be a good knife. Whether it is good or not still has to stand the test. There are a large number of people who are not convinced and stand aside to watch the fun.

First, there were a few kitchen knife hazels, which was also a sharpened blade, but it was different from the man's knife. Sure enough, the man looked contemptuous and his hand fell. Whether it was a kitchen knife or a hazel, it was broken, and his own blade did not even have a trace of collapse or a rolling blade.

The news spread, and the slightly larger shop in the town also rushed over. Joking, this man is equivalent to kicking the mouth. It's no different from single-handed martial arts school, but this is talking with a knife, and it's just challenging the whole Tiekou town.

A variety of knives were brought one after another, but finally no one challenged it until the last nine-ring ghost-headed knife was opened. If you don't accept it, there is no one-on-one trick. If you don't accept it, you can try it with a knife. A tael of silver is waiting for you. It's so tough.

Zhuofan smiled and picked up a knife. Sure enough, the back of the knife is soft iron and the blade is fine steel, and I don't know how it is made. The two are natural. The whole blade is quite flexible, and the ultra-high hardness has also been tested. A good knife is a good craft.

Suddenly, Zhuofan's mind lit up. If this process can be used to produce the barrel, it can not only ensure the hardness of the barrel and have good anti-fatigue characteristics, which will inevitably greatly increase its life. Even if it is still not as good as modern ultra-hardness gun steel, it is useful, and more importantly, this process is used for production. I'm afraid the cannon is more suitable. Zhuo Bufan still remembers the iron gallbladder yellow robe magic martial arts cannon at the head of Haishanguan City. Compared with this craft, it is a child's thing.

"Is this an achievement of steel?" Zhuo Fan said to himself with his eyes shining.

"What?" This is the man who showed a surprised expression and asked, "This little brother, do you know Guan Gang?"

Zhuo Fan smiled and said, "Well, I just occasionally saw it from a strange book, but I didn't understand how to make it at all and laughed."

"A strange book? I don't know if the little brother knows Lord Zhou Yingxing?" But the man was happy and didn't even do business. He talked to Zhuo Fan.
