Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Hearing Chen Xi's words, Liu Bei felt a little relieved. They didn't do this, so there was no need to consider moral and political issues. However, Chen Gong gave Liu Bei this whole thing. Liu Bei felt a little headache. This exposed Well, isn’t it still our own problem?

"It was done by the government, but Xun Wenruo and others knew about it and intervened in it." Chen Xi waved his hand and said. He also knew the political hidden dangers of this matter. Once it was exposed, other forces would be the first to consider it. It's about whether Liu Bei had any involvement in this.

Fortunately, it is not just Chen Gong who is responsible for this, but now it is the civil servant group under Cao Cao, so if it is really exposed, the blame will not be transferred to Liu Bei.

"Is this really okay?" Liu Bei felt a little relieved when he heard Chen Xi's words, but he still couldn't help but ask a few questions. This was somewhat outrageous.

"It should be fine. In fact, I don't quite understand what Gongtai is doing." Chen Xi thought for a while and said. After the craniotomy failed, Chen Xi planned to raise Cao Cao in the hydroponic tank of the Medical College until Cao Cao was born. Just die. Unexpectedly, one day Chen Gong actually used special means to get Cao Cao out of the training tank.

In order to cause less trouble to themselves, and because Cao Cao ran back to Kandahar and died in Kandahar, it would also reduce some political pressure on them, so Chen Xi acquiesced to Chen Gong's behavior.

It's just that Chen Xizhen didn't understand Chen Gong's logic on this matter, but in any case, Chen Gong did help Cao Cao a lot in this matter.

"I think we should be more cautious. After the battle between Kandahar and Ardashir is over, let Cao Sikong return to Chang'an for inspection. Although this matter really has nothing to do with us, as long as it is exposed, even if you and I It will also leave some political hidden dangers," Liu Bei said with a complicated expression. He still felt that this matter could not be handled this way.

Xu Chu on the side had somewhat calmed down at this time. When he heard the outrageous news that Cao Cao had been replaced, Xu Chu's first reaction was that Chen Xi, the black sesame dumpling, had been exposed.

"Okay, let's wait until the war in Kandahar is over. After it is over, we will notify Cao Sikong to come to Chang'an for inspection." Chen Xi sighed and said with a smile after a while. He said, "If Kong Ming knows, he should be very happy."

"Alas." Liu Bei sighed and said. The adult world is full of compromises. Even Liu Bei had to compromise for some things.

"It seems that apart from these, something else happened. So what?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei and said, picking up the jug on the side and filling it up for Liu Bei.

"I went to Bingzhou and Yanzhou this time and met some veterans who came back from the Ganges." Liu Bei said seriously, "This is an important reason why I promoted Yu Jin as the temporary commander-in-chief of the Ganges area. The situation in the Ganges is better than yours." What was told to me was much worse.”

"It's normal. I've been aware of this problem before." Chen Xi said calmly. Publicizing the reward in advance has indeed stabilized the middle-level generals. The operation of the Han family in Central Asia to establish a feudal country is also worth learning by these people, but the fundamentals The problem above has not been solved.

"If that doesn't work, let's divide part of the Indochina Peninsula first." Liu Bei said again and again, "It's not that we don't have any place to entrust. On the contrary, we have at least more than two million square kilometers of territory in Indochina that can be entrusted. Although these places are full of miasma, , there are many trees, but with the ability of our soldiers and the medicines we can provide, it is not difficult to cultivate it. "

Liu Bei proposed to entrust the Indochina Peninsula four or five years ago, but was blocked by Chen Xi in the end. Chen Xi proposed to entrust the Kushan Essence District. In Chen Xi's words, the Indochina Peninsula is indeed good, but as an enfeoffment area, Compared with Yuan Caosun, there is no absolute advantage.

After all, some places in Southeast Asia are not inferior to Indochina. The black soil of Eastern Europe also has its own advantages. Moreover, the distance between the Kushan Essence Area is there. No matter how you divide it, there will be hidden dangers. It is better to let the old brothers get it. Have fun.

But the current situation, Liu Bei learned about it from the veterans, and he still found it somewhat shocking, so he thought it would be better to entrust a part of the Indochina Peninsula first. Unlike Yuan Caosun's situation, Liu Bei actually had quite a lot of places that he could entrust. , and if you really want to say it, it has indeed been enfeoffing, but the scale is not as large as Jiangdong.

You know, every year some veterans under Liu Bei, after retiring from the front line, exchange their titles for fiefdoms, then randomly circle a piece of Han Dynasty territory, make a record, and then go and build their own fiefdoms. Really? To put it bluntly, there are a dozen or twenty such mid-level veterans a year. To be honest, if you don’t have any ambitions, this choice is not wrong.

The simplest thing is to take the Northeast as an example. People say that the situation there is not very good, but in fact they only choose the coastal areas there. The actual climate is also a temperate maritime climate. Regardless of the fact that the territory there is not very large, it is closed. There is still no problem with hundreds of middle and low-level titles at the village and town levels.

As for the Indochina Peninsula, even if there is basically no development, if you simply and crudely choose those alluvial plains and those near the river valleys, there is actually not much development. There is no problem in casually entrusting hundreds of officers with middle-level titles. After all, The bigger the territory, the more good places there will be.

Even if these good places are a bit tasteless to the big shots, they are undoubtedly good places for the middle-level people, just like the place chosen by Bi Laoliu. It has water sources, mines, and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Why did the Cui family and the Yang family next to them leave it alone and let Bi Laoliu occupy it? To put it bluntly, for a large force like them, there is no point in occupying that place.

But for a village-level force like Bi Laoliu, it was really a geomantic treasure.

To put it too much, this method of enfeoffing land for horse racing is just like the so-called Feng Shui treasure land for funerals. The Feng Shui treasure land that ordinary people need and the Feng Shui treasure land that big shots need are completely different concepts. Even if ordinary people find it, The Feng Shui treasure land suitable for the burial of important people will not be occupied. Whether it can be suppressed by oneself is still a question!

What Liu Bei means now is that since the brothers who returned to their hometown have described the current situation of the Ganges River to me, I am somewhat worried about the current situation of the Ganges River. Why don't I send it to the brothers first? Anyway, we have a backup plan. , Besides, when I was preparing to entrust the Indochina Peninsula to the brothers, I also specially sent people there to visit, and there were still many suitable positions.

"I'm afraid it's not feasible." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "This proposal was fine before the enfeoffment of the Ganges Essence Area was exposed, but now, it is obviously not very attractive to the middle and lower-level generals, and they even directly ordered the generals. Now Those generals and commanders who are willing to come to Indochina to accept fiefdoms are the real backbone that supports the normal operation of the Ganges Army. If these are taken away..."

This is not a joke. The middle-level officers who can still rationally accept the fiefdom of Indochina are the kind who have a clear mind, understand the overall situation, and are not greedy. If these people accept the fiefdom of Indochina, pat them. Now that Butt has left, the Ganges Legion's problems will become even greater.

"Isn't there a good solution?" Liu Bei pressed his forehead, it was somewhat difficult to accept the fact. There was no way, just thinking about it was enough to give him a headache.

"The solution used now is already the best solution. At least it has brought back many middle-level generals and colonels who had evil thoughts." Chen Xi said very tiredly, "But to completely solve this problem, how can I say, I don’t have any hope anymore.”

"Alas, I always thought you were an omnipotent person." Liu Bei said with a tone that was a bit embarrassing or ridiculing.

"I have been refuting this." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "Only after the next battle in Ganghe can we determine the overall situation. However, Mr. Xuande, if you let Wen Ze temporarily take over as the commander-in-chief of Ganghe, This matter must be explained clearly to Wen Ze. I am worried that after Wen Ze takes advantage, he will directly take the initiative on a whim, which will cause a big problem. "

Ganghe's current situation is as stable as possible. Anyway, don't take action. After Chen Xi has collected his cards, he will kill Guishang in one wave. This is the best choice. Otherwise, no matter how he fights, he will just give Kuishang is just accumulating morale. After all, going from being unable to defeat to being able to defeat will only continuously improve Kuishang's morale, so it is best to be realistic and not mess around.

"Alas." Liu Bei said somewhat tiredly.

"I plan to start a post-challenge." Before Chen Xi could ask, Liu Bei suddenly said. Chen Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This was what he thought, but if I remember correctly, he hadn't told Liu Bei yet. Why did Liu Bei bring it up himself?

"This is a very good idea. We have also considered this before. It can largely eliminate some bad behaviors." Chen Xi did not make it too clear, but the situation where friendly forces are in trouble and stay put is indeed Very difficult to deal with.

"Oh oh oh, you have already thought about it. I made this suggestion when I was chatting with the returning veterans and the veterans were scolding some officers." Liu Bei said with a deep look on his face.

Chen Xi couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words. It should be said that when there are more people, someone will always think of this kind of operation. It is said that a wise man will make a mistake after a lot of considerations, and a fool will gain something after a lot of considerations. That's it. It is difficult for ordinary veterans to be like Chen Xi. perspective, but the more there are, there will always be people who come to this conclusion from other angles.

"Yes, we are going to officially announce it at the court meeting." Chen Xi nodded. In addition to food and drink expenses, various infrastructure construction, and improving the employment rate of the people, the most important thing in the third five-year plan is to destroy Guishang. Shuang lived too long. In the thirteenth year of Yuanfeng, he had to destroy the structure of the Kushan Empire and end the war.

According to Chen Xi's calculations, if the Kushans are not eliminated at this point, too much time and energy will be wasted in subsequent eliminations. Moreover, Chen Xi can maintain the domestic economy while fighting foreign affairs without affecting people's livelihood. A large part of The reason is that the domestic economic performance was very weak earlier and there was a lot of room for improvement.

Next, the economic operation and improvement of the Han Dynasty has entered a new stage. Chen Xi can easily take some share and easily complete all the parts that can be completed in these ten years. The remaining parts are not so Easily accomplished.

In other words, if Chen Xi wants to continue to maintain rapid domestic economic development, he must shift his focus to the country and increase resource investment. As a result, investment in military power will naturally decrease.

In this case, it would be too difficult even for the Han Dynasty to continue to fight the Kushans and win. Chen Xi is very strong, but Chen Xi is not a god. He must also abide by the logic of social operation. , Society and economy are not things that will continue to improve if you work hard.

Therefore, in order to avoid the backlash of the domestic environment of the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi must solve the Kushan as soon as possible, and then devote himself wholeheartedly to the construction of the local area, and completely open up the economic network of the country and major aristocratic families, and then enter the next generation. stage one.

These are very important things, so they must not be delayed.

Therefore, under this premise, posthumous sealing is indeed a policy that actually stabilizes people's hearts.

"Well, speaking of this, I need to show you this thing. This was brought back to me by veterans who were passing through Rome and the Yuan family." Liu Bei took out a secret magic mirror from his arms, " He said that when he was passing by, he felt that this thing should be very important, so he recorded it specially. After watching it, I felt that it was indeed so. "

Chen Xi was confused after hearing this, and then opened the secret mirror. It was a steel factory, and it was made in a blast furnace. Chen Xi's expression hardly changed. The relationship between the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty was very good. When the Han Dynasty used blast furnaces to make iron, the Han Dynasty Although the Han Dynasty did not inform the Roman Empire of the construction method of the blast furnace, it also allowed the Roman Empire to enter the blast furnace ironworks of the Han Dynasty. Now that the Roman Empire has built it, it is considered normal.

"Actually, it wasn't just Rome that did it, Guishan also did it." Liu Bei took out another secret magic mirror, "Zheng Ke brought this back with him. He said he found it when he went to Guishan to investigate. , and it’s actually molten steel.”

Chen Xi nodded when he heard this, but he was not panicked. He had already estimated this situation. Just as the Han Dynasty copied Guishang's secret skills, Guishang was not surprised. Shi Shi didn't feel too deeply. After all, it had been so long. If the Kushan Empire and the Roman Empire still made no progress and didn't get some technology from the Han Dynasty, it would be damned.

"Guishan looks very powerful. I think this steel furnace has almost five or even six directions. It seems that the technology has made great progress. It is much larger than the Roman one." Chen Xi looked at the steel furnace of the Guishan Empire. Furnace, he said with some admiration, leaving the Roman one aside first. Anyway, the Roman Empire is unlikely to conflict with the Han Dynasty in a short time, and the steel furnace will have no impact.

On the contrary, Kushan's steel furnace will greatly affect the strength of the Kushan Empire in the future. After all, whether there are steel weapons and equipment is very important for soldiers in the cold weapon era. In the past, the cannon fodder troops of the Kushan Empire were directly The wooden gun now has a steel furnace. If it is replaced with a steel gun head, wouldn't the lethality be increased? This is the simplest solution to improve combat effectiveness.

"I told the insiders of the Kushan Empire that there are already three steel mills in Kushan, and they are now continuously producing weapons and equipment." Liu Bei said with a solemn expression. If the three large steel mills continue to operate like this, It won't take long for Kushan to replace his soldiers with equipment.

Different from the situation of the Han Dynasty, there are many high-grade open-pit iron mines in the territory of the Kushan Empire. The consumption of the steel plant is not a problem at all for the output of iron ore in the Kushan Empire.

Therefore, Liu Bei was somewhat worried that the Kushan Empire would provide the Han Dynasty with hundreds of thousands of fully-armored main forces in the next stage. It would be a bit difficult to take advantage of it. Even if it could not withstand the Han Dynasty's three million main shield guards, during the period The damage caused by the Han Dynasty will seriously exceed current estimates.

"The steel factory itself can't hide it all the time. It's not easy for us to hide it for seven or eight years. It's already too late for Kushan to come up with it now." Chen Xi comforted him. This thing was discovered by Kushan. It's just inevitable. Guishang is not blind. The main force of the Han Empire are shield guards. What level of steel output is this?

If you think about it for a moment, you will know that the Han Empire must have made breakthroughs in the crucible method and the steel frying method, and then came up with other weird gadgets, which greatly increased steel production. In this case, expensive As long as Shuang's brain is normal, he will definitely have to find a way to get his hands on the new technology of the Han Dynasty.

In the current situation where the Kushans have so many weird secrets, the blast furnace iron-making technology of the Han Dynasty could not be obtained by the Kushans for seven or eight years. It is considered to be very well hidden. At this time, the Kushans got it. To be honest, Chen Xi didn't feel anything special.

"Zichuan, aren't you worried? This is the foundation of our Han army's strength. Now the Kushan Empire also exists, and the Kushan Empire is working hard to build steel plants. If this continues, not to mention iron-clad ships, outsourced steel, and built-in steel structures Battleships can always be built." Liu Bei said with an unusually solemn expression, "And what makes us better than Kushan is actually the strong defense brought by universal shield guards. The Kushan Empire is now fully engaged in the production of steel plates, and soon we will be able to build steel plates. There is such a thing.”

Chen Xi nodded after hearing this, but was not too worried. It will take a certain amount of time for Guishang to crack the adaptive talent. But with enough steel, even if the adaptive talent cannot be obtained, individual elite talents can be developed, and then the defense can be strengthened. , as long as it can deal with the shield guard.

After all, no matter how bad the Kushan Empire is, it is still an empire. Besides, if there are any technical problems, Kushan can also ask the Roman Empire. As long as the funds are in place, the Roman Empire can still help crack some things. It is impossible to do it personally. If you end up in trouble, you can crack something without any problem.

"You really don't feel the danger?" Liu Bei said with a somewhat ugly face. In his opinion, such a serious matter, Chen Xi should be cautious quickly after receiving it, but he didn't see the slightest panic on Chen Xi's face. After so many years, Liu Bei had long realized that Chen Xi was not a person who didn't show his emotions, and now he was not panicked at all.

"There is no danger. Blast furnace steelmaking is still difficult for Rome and Kushan. Of course, they do know how to make steel furnaces now, but how to make steel is a big problem." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, the blast furnace itself is a big problem, and the subsequent molten steel, the molten steel you want is even more of a big problem. You must know that from the first blast furnace to now, the core of the blast furnace has not changed, but the quality of the molten steel has become more and more abnormal. This is the significance of the metallographic structure of iron-carbon alloys.

Although Chen Xi didn't learn these things well, he really remembered a few phase diagrams, one is the phase diagram of water, and the other is the phase diagram of iron-carbon alloy. Chen Xi remembered these two things very clearly. The former is because of the supercritical point and triple point, that is, the special point where gas, liquid and solid coexist and have all the characteristics of gas, liquid and solid. The other is an important alloy that humans have been studying since more than two thousand years before Christ and are still using.

So Chen Xi really remembers these two things very clearly, and even knows what the temperature, proportion, and time are.

So even though everyone is a blast furnace, the final product is very different.

To put it bluntly, Rome and Kushan copied the blast furnace, which was only the first step, and the latter is the real deadly thing.

Simply put, what is the steel that Chen Xi made in the blast furnace? Under the condition of 0.77% carbon, the temperature is lowered from 1500 degrees to 900 degrees, and the normal atmospheric pressure is maintained, and then gradually lowered to about 730 degrees, and maintained for several hours, austenite is directly born, and then the carbon is continued to be added to no more than 2.11%, and the temperature continues to rise but does not exceed 1150 degrees, and it is maintained for several hours to form austenite + secondary cementite, and then continue to maintain this temperature, slightly increase the carbon content, not more than 4.3%, and form a strange thing called austenite + secondary cementite + ledeburite.

Why do we need this kind of thing? Because austenite has good plasticity and low strength, to put it bluntly, it has good toughness, while ledeburite is a hard and brittle cementite, so it has high hardness and poor plasticity.

As for the precipitation of secondary cementite in the middle, it usually occurs during the cooling process of iron-carbon alloys, especially before or during the transformation of austenite to other phases. This precipitation method makes secondary cementite often distributed along the grain boundaries, forming a network structure. This structure has a significant impact on the strength and toughness of the material. It is usually necessary to optimize its distribution and morphology through appropriate heat treatment processes to obtain better material properties.

What is science and what is technology? Humans did not become aware of these temperatures, times, and pressures until the 18th century. It was not until the 21st century that they were truly accurate to how many degrees and seconds. Chen Xi cannot figure it out accurately, but Chen Xi at least knows.
