Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 94 The General Situation Stability (1)

Chang'an Beiqiu, Military Industry Department.

In the past few days, many talented craftsmen have been summoned from various counties in Zhongzhou, more than 3000 people.

Zhang Juzheng, who was in charge of the Prime Minister and Minister of the Ministry of Military Industry, almost ran between the court and the Beiying. When he heard that the emperor had returned in triumph, he quickly led six ministers and waited at the gate of the Beiying.

Rumble!
Five thousand tigers and leopards came galloping.

Before Zhao Yuan opened the imperial formation, after dismounting from his horse, he coldly looked down at Zhang Juzheng and the six ministers kneeling in front of him.

The tiger and leopard cavalry commander Wang Meng walked out, cheering up the good news:
"Your Majesty personally led the Tianzi Division to break through for the vanguard army. Before the two armies of Zhongzhou and Yuzhou joined forces, he directly broke through Dongping of Jizhou and captured the thief minister Zhu Yunhu alive. He has now been executed!"

"Has the thief minister Zhu Yunhu been captured alive?"

"Your Majesty only used more than 3 Tianzi divisions to directly pacify Jizhou. Oh my god, this... is this record too amazing?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, once Jizhou is pacified, the territory of the Han Dynasty will be completely stabilized. Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The six ministers were extremely shocked, but also ecstatically excited.

Before Zhao Yuan's expedition to Jizhou, it was the time when bad news from all parties gathered.

The bandit Yuan in Bingzhou had just been captured, and the four kings south of the Han River split the soil and proclaimed themselves emperor, and Zhu Yunhu, who raised the people in Jizhou and respected himself, was even more vicious.

This big man is completely like a life and death in a troubled world and the world is falling apart.

Not only the six ministers, but even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty crouching in Chang'an City were frightened to the point of despair.

But right now!
Zhao Yuankai was courageous and decisive, and he pacified Jizhou in two days and one night, directly stabilizing the overall situation!

To stabilize the overall situation is to stabilize the hearts of the ministers and the hearts of the people!
"Free gift!"

Zhao Yuankai said coldly.

Then he set his eyes on Zhang Juzheng, cut straight to the point, and asked:

"Zhang Aiqing, how is the development of the Ministry of Military Industry in the past few days? How many small blast furnaces have been built for steelmaking? How many ringshou knives have been produced?"

This is what Zhao Yuankai cares most about.

Zhang Juzheng bowed and bowed, without any details, and replied:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Department of Smelting has built 200 steelmaking blast furnaces, and now there are more than [-] of them that can be officially used! The Department of Casting Soldiers now has [-] craftsmen, and they have forged [-] handles of ring swords in the past two days! "

Three hundred small blast furnaces for steelmaking?
This number was somewhat beyond Zhao Yuankai's expectation.

The build rate is fast, but... the numbers are still too small.

Zhao Yuankai has a big appetite, he needs a thousand, or even ten thousand!

However, the output of the Ring Shou Dao is still only preliminary. When the subsequent steel output comes up, coupled with the improvement of the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Casting Division, the daily output will become even more astonishing!
It won't be long before [-] white-robed soldiers will be able to hold a ring-shouldered sword in their hands!
When Li Buhui heard that more than 400 handles of the Huan Shou Dao had been cast, he immediately took a deep breath and asked in disbelief:
"My lord prime minister, then...the ring head knife really cast more than 400 handles?"

"Your Majesty, please step by step to review."

Zhang Juzheng did not directly answer Li Buhui's words, but bowed to Zhao Yuankai.

"Lead the way!" Zhao Yuankai nodded.

Entering Beiying, the small blast furnaces for steelmaking are connected together, and the coal mined from Xiaodingshan is being transported continuously.

The initial raw materials for steelmaking are all pig iron weapons that were wiped out when Qingshuiguan completely defeated Yuan Zhuo's 20 army!
For things like resources, plundering is always much faster than self-exploitation and cultivation.

The soldiers of the Wei Rong and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Military Industry worshiped the king when they saw the king, but Zhao Yuankai directly brushed his sleeves away.

"Your Majesty, the pig iron weapons brought back from Qingshui Pass are estimated to be able to cast [-] ring-head knives. If there are enough craftsmen, it can be completed within fifteen days!"

"In addition, the minister has also established a new prospecting department, which is responsible for the exploration of resource mines such as iron ore and coal mines."

Zhang Juzheng accompanied Zhao Yuankai behind, and reported carefully.

At this time.

A row of craftsmen presented a batch of ring head knives.

Single-sided straight blade, sharp blade, thick back, cast iron ring on the handle, wearing a red cloth scarf.

And the blades are all unsealed!
Zhao Yuankai took one, and just looking at the sharp blade, he knew that it was a real steel ring sword.

Li Buhui also picked up a handle, and after waving it a few times, he went straight to a locust tree not far away.

Raising interest, luck, and violent martial arts qi poured into both arms.

"Ho!"

With a loud shout, he chopped off the waist.

The locust tree with the thick mouth of the bowl was chopped off, and there was no notch or curl on the blade of the ring head knife.

"Good knife! Good knife!"

"Your Majesty, this... Ring Shou Dao is too powerful. It is concentrated and extremely sharp. I don't know how many times stronger than the Iron Sword!"

Li Buhui shouted at Zhao Yuankai excitedly.

An unseen look.

Zhao Yuankai's face was extremely indifferent, and he didn't respond, but sipped lightly:
"Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

"My minister is here." The Minister of the Ministry of War quickly bowed to greet him.

"I ordered you to raise [-] war horses in the shortest possible time, is there a problem?" Zhao Yuan shouted.

The Battle of Jizhou made Zhao Yuankai deeply aware of the serious lack of horses.

This kind of cross-regional combat, without horses, [-] white-robed infantry can only march on foot, which is not only slow, but also greatly dissipates physical strength.

So in the battle of Jizhou, Zhao Yuankai had a lot of thinking.

The white-robed army under the Tianzi Division he hand-picked does not need to be too many, just thirty to forty thousand, each with a horse, to be the most mobile light infantry.

Yes, light infantry!
Horses are only for mobility!
As for the tiger and leopard cavalry, Zhao Yuankai plans to maintain only three thousand, and the arms are light cavalry!

These 3000 people must be the elite of the elite, and the special forces among the cavalry. Everyone must have martial arts skills, and it is best for all of them to be soldiers above the inner family background!
As for the next step of heavy cavalry, this requires a complete increase in steel production!
however.

The Minister of the Ministry of War, however, looked embarrassed and replied:
"Your Majesty, [-] war horses may be difficult. Although the land is flat under the rule of Zhongzhou, most of them are fertile farmland and there are very few horses!"

"Among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, only Bingzhou Northern Territory and Youzhou in the far north are suitable for raising horses, but they have rarely sent horses to Zhongzhou in recent years!"

The words of Minister of the Ministry of War are true.

The northern region of Bingzhou and Youzhou in the far north are mostly grasslands, and they are the two major horse farms of the Han Dynasty.

Because the cavalry in the true sense of Kyushu has not yet appeared, the strategic significance of horses is still not so high, and the two grassland horse farms actually do not raise too many horses.

"Youzhou is far away, and the emperor's order has long been disrespected."

"Yuan Zhuo of Bingzhou has been beheaded by me, and Prince He entered Bingzhou three days ago. This horse should not be a problem! You can directly send a letter to Prince He to discuss this matter with him."

After talking about this, Zhao Yuankai didn't stay outside Beiying, but went straight into Beiying Commander's Mansion.

"Zhang Juzheng, six ministers, come in with me!" Zhao Yuankai said coldly.
