Become a feudal king from today

Yanguan. ReadМ

Mo Zhai stared at Kutu and the others expressionlessly.

After receiving the news of Kutu's arrival, he was calm because he was sure that the court would surrender.

At present, Dasong is in a precarious situation. Strong enemies from all sides are constantly encroaching on the territory of Dasong, and the Royal Forbidden Army is unable to resist.

In the northwest and southwest, they can only rely on the powerful army to resist.

And this made the powerful army grow stronger.

So he knew very well that it was impossible for the emperor to trigger a war with Beidi for the sake of Kutu and the three of them.

"You can go back to the grassland." Mo Zhai said.

The city gate has been opened, and the land outside once belonged to Ningjin Dusi.

But now it belongs to Beidi.

"Hahaha..." Zhaerha and Tam laughed heartily.

Kutu did not smile. Even if he returned to the grassland, he would still be a shame to the grassland.

This sudden sense of shame made his hatred for King Yan go straight to his bones.

Yes, even if he was ridiculed, he would go back.

It’s okay even if I just become a wolf recorder after I go back.

He wanted to return to Yan County again and end King Yan's life with his own hands.

Go through the city gate.

He strode towards the oncoming cavalry.

After getting on the horse, he glanced back at Yanguan and rode towards the army.

Not long after Kutu left, the Beidi army began to move.

They slowly headed north and disappeared from the skyline, as if they had never appeared before.

"Finally left." Xiao Yuanshan laughed.

Mo Zhai snorted coldly, "Don't you feel ashamed?"

When Xiao Yuanshan heard this, veins popped up on his neck. He glanced at Mo Zhai bitterly and said angrily: "Mo Zhai, you are the general today. I accept this, but you cannot always be the general of Yanguan."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Behind him is the Xiao family. In the middle of the court, the Xiao family and the Dou family have united and have been trying to make him replace Mo Zhai as the general of Yanguan.

Therefore, he is not afraid of Mo Zhai.

Mo Zhai ignored Xiao Yuanshan and looked north again, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He had an ominous premonition that the time for Beidi to go south was getting closer.

If Yanguan is broken, who can turn the tide?

He turned to the west.

In Yanzhou, the Yuan family has no hope. Only the King of Yan may be able to fight Beidi.

He knew that King Yan had nowhere to escape, no way to retreat, and if he lost his fiefdom, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.

This was also the reason why he asked Mo Yu to serve under King Yan.

King Yan is like a spark of fire, although it is weak, it burns persistently.

…

"Is this how artillery is made?"

In the study room of the palace, Wang Ying held up the drawings like a baby.

There is a complete artillery manufacturing process on the drawings.

King Yan always liked to show him craftsmanship through pictures.

This is not only intuitive but also easier to understand.

"You go back and prepare now, and then tell me when you are ready." Zhao Xu said.

Artillery production was just about done, and now he and Wang Ying were looking forward to it.

He felt the anger of the generals yesterday.

Although he tried to persuade her, he still felt unhappy.

After all, he has gradually integrated into this world after being in this world for so long.

The hatred of the country and the family is not lost to them at all.

What's more, for him, he still faces a real existential threat.

Looking up, there are enemies on all sides.

He had no way out, he could only keep making himself stronger.

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Ying went happily.

The next morning.

Wang Ying came to the palace again, and the military commander was ready at this time.

Wash and dress under the service of Feng'er and Luan'er.

After a simple meal, he got up and went to the Bingzhan Division.

In the Bingzhan Division, Zhao Xu saw the craftsmen setting up the iron molds.

There are nine complete iron molds in total.

In the iron-making blast furnace area, craftsmen are extremely busy.

In the past two days, Bingzhangsi bought a large amount of iron ore.

Just prepared for this day.

One cannon fire requires enough steel to make a hundred pieces of plate armor.

"Your Highness, these are rice husks ground into powder, these are washed fine sand, and these are pulverized coal."

In front of the iron mold, Wang Ying pointed to the things in the wooden box, which he had prepared according to the words on the picture.

They need to be used before pouring.

Zhao Xu leaned over and grabbed a handful of crushed rice husk.

The powder is ground very fine, almost like dust.

He looked at the sand again.

The sand was carefully sieved and the thickness was roughly the same, as was the toner.

"Let the craftsmen paint it." Zhao Xu said, he was very satisfied.

These things must be brushed inside the gun mold, so they need to be even.

The king heard this and gave orders to the craftsmen.

At this time, the craftsmen mixed the rice husk powder with lard and brushed it for the first time.

Play with fine sand for the second time to prevent the cannon body from adhering to the iron mold.

For the third time, the craftsman applied carbon powder for the purpose of carburizing.

After the molten steel is poured, some of this carbon will be incorporated into the molten steel, increasing the carbon content of the outer layer of the molten steel.

As we all know, steel is actually iron with a carbon content within a certain range.

The higher the carbon content, the harder it is.

In this way, the artillery is hard on the outside and soft on the inside.

The purpose of the internal softness is to allow the artillery to better withstand the explosion of gunpowder.

Because it's too hard and easy to explode.

The external hardness is to prevent the artillery from deforming, otherwise the artillery will be like a balloon, and its tail will expand when it explodes.

In the contemporary Ming Dynasty, there was a copper-core iron body artillery that made use of this principle.

However, this kind of artillery is more troublesome to build and is far less suitable for mass production than iron molded cannons.

After the craftsman finished painting, Wang Ying went to inspect it carefully and asked the craftsman to deal with some defects.

He was extremely strict when it came to production.

After that, Wang Ying asked the craftsmen to put the iron molds together and tie them with iron hoops to form a cylinder.

The craftsmen are also asked to light a fire to heat the iron mold. This is to prevent the outer layer from cooling too quickly when pouring molten steel, which will affect carburization.

After all these preparations were completed, Wang Ying ordered the craftsman to take the clay core and stuff it into the iron mold.

The thickness of the mud core is the width of the muzzle.

After the casting is completed, just mash the clay core.

"Pouring molten steel." Everything was ready, Zhao Xu nodded to Wang Ying.

Wang Ying immediately shouted loudly, his voice even slightly out of tune.

He was very excited. It was not impossible for him to create such a sharp weapon and leave his name in history in the future.

After receiving the order, the craftsmen carried the crucibles onto the earth platform on the left and right sides. The molten steel was slowly poured in on the left side and then removed, and the pouring started on the right side.

Another craftsman climbed up on the left side, and after the right side was poured, he poured it again, thus maintaining continuity.

Rolling steel water flows down, and the air seems to be hot at this moment.

The craftsmen carrying the molten steel were sweating profusely.

When the molten steel was flush with the muzzle of the cannon, Wang Ying stopped the casting craftsman.

The next step is to wait for the artillery to cool down naturally.

Carburization is a process, and artificially accelerated cooling will result in insufficient carburization and affect the quality of the artillery.

It was not until night that the artillery completely cooled down, and Zhao Xu immediately asked people to remove the molds.

After smashing the iron hoop, the craftsman removed the iron mold, chiseled out the clay core, cleaned the barrel, and a real artillery was born.

This artillery is not the gun used by Beidi and Dasong. Its power will definitely make his enemies very happy.

Next it's time to test the power of the artillery.
