The reason why Lu Hanqiang willingly came to Liaoxi with soldiers and horses this time and fought with the most powerful enemy in the world now was that his original intentions were just two ambitions.
First, if Lu Hanqiang did not bring troops to Liaoxi to fight against Huang Taiji, then with the environment he was in at the time, he would definitely be forced by Emperor Chongzhen and the cabinet to join the war of encirclement and suppression of the Liukou.
And Lu Hanqiang is a person who is not soft on foreign enemies, even if he uses the means of losing his conscience, he must completely annihilate the enemy in order to strive for the well-being of the Han nation.
But for his compatriots of his own nation, no matter what kind of person the other party is, he is unwilling to raise the butcher's knife to them, avoid it if he can, and kill less if he can, so in the encirclement and suppression of those rogues composed of ordinary people and homeless people, this relatively easy task is still as far as the bitter cold land of western Liaoning, compared with the arduous task of Huang Taiji's competition, Lu Hanqiang chose the latter.
Lu Hanqiang chose to come to western Liaoning for another purpose, that is, what he has always been worried about, that is, the problem of his army's military construction.
That is, the first step in solving the development of military merit.
When he was in Pinglu, Lu Hanqiang found that although he had drummed up the coke necessary for large-scale steelmaking, the sulfur content of Shanxi's coal was too high, and he did not study chemical engineering, so he did not know anything about the complex process of desulfurization, and even if he did, he could not solve it at all.
And if you use these cokes with too high sulfur content to make iron and steel, the smelted steel is some brittle but not hard waste, and it is still possible to make some farm tools with a few knives and guns, and if you want to use it to make guns and cannons, then you can only build a suicide army with your hard work.
In fact, in this era of low iron consumption, the iron production capacity of the Ming Dynasty has been excessive, and there are many individual iron smelting workshops, all of which are in a semi-open state, so there is no need to do such things thanklessly.
In order to obtain coke with low sulfur content and adapt to smelting really good iron and steel, Lu Hanqiang, as a person born in western Liaoning in his previous life, deeply understands that Fuxin Coal Mine in later generations is such the best choice.
At the same time, Lu Hanqiang also understood that in later generations, not far from his hometown of Yixian County, there was a rare good iron ore in China, with good grade and high quality, although the reserves were indeed much less, and it did not become a famous iron ore factory in China, but the iron powder he produced was contrary to China's national conditions of importing a large amount of iron powder, and was exported to other countries.
The output is not afraid, which is enough to meet their own needs, in cooperation with the high-quality coke of Shangfuxin, enough raw materials for the development of military enterprises in this era, even if the outrageous self who lacks knowledge of large-scale steelmaking, can also smelt the world's highest-quality steel, as the so-called no knowledge you don't read the newspaper, don't read the newspaper and don't watch TV For a fan of historical novels, I have read countless books on the creation website, where I have learned a lot of knowledge and experience, in those books, It all involves the smelting of steel and other confidential scenes, or it will not be possible to write a "huge work" like the bloody homeland Xinchuang Wang Daming Inspector.
As long as there is such high-quality steel, the knives and guns in your army will be sharper, the fire system will be more sophisticated, and the artillery will be more light and durable.
However, now Lu Hanqiang's idea can only be stuffed in his heart, Yixian County has taken it, and the Fuxin Coal Mine in later generations has become his own bag, but now the northern ticket is in the hands of the remaining Lin Dan Khan Mongolian Ao Han tribe, and now Lin Dan Khan is attached to the Ming Dynasty again, becoming an important force to weaken and contain Huang Taiji, and it is not in line with the entire strategic situation to attack him.
At this time, Lu Hanqiang has been pondering whether he should find an excuse to go to Lin Dan Khan, no matter what method he uses, without affecting the general trend, he will pull this iron mine into his own hands, but this matter has to be done slowly, and he can't be in a hurry.
This time, Lu Xiangsheng's eldest brother got 30,000 arquebuses for himself, Lu Hanqiang could only accept it helplessly, and then picked up a rusty arquebus with a curved barrel, and after looking at it again, he threw it into the pile of waste products, and directly told Xu Jie behind him, "Let the craftsman battalion build a furnace tomorrow, re-smelt these rags, and make them into guns to equip our troops." ” As an honest man in this era, Xu Jie is simply distressed about Lu Hanqiang's order, don't want it, you must know that an arquebus, if it is extracted from the Ministry of Industry, it will be at least a rebate of ten taels of silver, 30,000 arquebuses, that is to say, 300,000 taels of silver, that is, this time it was stained with the light of Uncle Lu Xiangsheng, and it also cost 100,000 silver.
As a result, Lu Hanqiang asked Xu Jie, who was full of distress: "Are you distressed, then okay, you go and ask our soldiers, who wants to be a soldier of this firearms battalion?"
As a result, all the squad leaders and squadron leaders who were around to see the strange took a step back neatly, which explained the result.
Lu Hanqiang said to Xu Jie and the soldiers around him: "It is a historical necessity for hot weapons to replace cold weapons, and we must adapt to this general trend, but this general trend is definitely not at the cost of the current shoddy firearms.
Then he opened his arms, squinted his eyes and raised his head, and said to the soldiers around him with the most holy attitude: "I have a dream, in the future, our army will all be equipped with the most sophisticated firearms, and become a real beast of blood and fire, using firearms to face the cold weapons of Jiannu, in the face of all our enemies in this world, we will use a crushing advantage to achieve our great cause of expanding the territory and making contributions, but this dream must be built in the case of our own steel mills, firearms at that time, It will be the most sophisticated, the most invincible, so the next step in our efforts is to grab a good iron mine, use our Fuxin coke, build our own steel mill, remember, a steel mill, not scrap iron, then I will make the world's finest, most durable, not suicide firearms, and then I will let you sweep the world with me. ” So all the soldiers are full of hope for the future, and at the same time, they are also full of hope and confidence in building their own steel mill, yes, steel mill.
When will there be their own steel mill, and all the soldiers are full of ambition for the future looting. t1706231537:
