Infinite Streamer
Chapter 73: Heavenly King Xu Xian
The weather was getting hotter, and it was already July 1126. All kinds of cold weapons were being produced in full swing, followed by the continuous development of various guns and artillery, which were gradually put into mass production, resulting in a substantial increase in the demand for pig iron. Soon, the demand was insufficient and the income was not enough to cover the expenditure, resulting in an "iron shortage" in the local area!
Xu Xian initially chose to establish his base in Wuxiang County for deep-seated considerations.
While Master Hong Tianlei Ling Zhen led his scientific research project team to repeatedly experiment and trial-produce various types of firearms, Xu Xian also personally explored all the nearby mountains and mines.
Xu Xian had found rich reserves of iron ore and coal mines nearby, and quickly assembled personnel to build a blast furnace in preparation for large-scale iron smelting. At the same time, he experimented with burning coal and other raw materials. In the absence of oxygen, the organic matter in the coal burned into carbon, which is called "carbonization". Coke can burn faster than coal, increase the temperature, and the quality of the smelted iron is also better.
When the pig iron produced by local traditional methods was produced in large quantities, the "iron shortage" was immediately solved. Moreover, the experienced blacksmiths immediately discovered that the pig iron made by this traditional method was countless times better than the original pig iron, and the weapons made from it were tougher and more durable.
As a result, all kinds of cold and hot weapons were produced in large quantities and gradually equipped to all soldiers. Training in cold and hot weapons, as well as various military strategies to stop and kill the enemy, were also in full swing.
Xu Xian raised the banner of anti-Jin, called himself "King Xu Xian", and sent more teams and squadrons to nearby places to recruit soldiers to join the anti-Jin team! He also took advantage of the gap to plunder the Jin people's food and various strategic materials. Because Xu Xian knew that it would not be long before the Jin army would soon besiege the city of Tokyo Bianliang for the second time!
Xu Xian sent two squadrons to Niutou Mountain in Heshan to contact Niu Gao, asking him to train all the troops, assemble them within a month, and bring their own food and grass to Panlong Town in Wuxiang County. He also sent ten cavalry reconnaissance teams, led by Yue Fei, to the north to spy on the military situation of the Jin Kingdom.
Niu Gao's original three teams have grown into a tribe of six or seven thousand people. They were worried that Niutou Mountain was too small to accommodate so many people. After receiving the message, they quickly gathered their troops and split up to rush to Panlong Town in Shanxi.
With the end of the last Battle of Tokyo, the Jin army plundered a large number of people and materials from the Northern Song Dynasty and retreated with ease, gradually seeing through the weakness of the Song people. As time went on, the Jurchen royal family of the Jin Dynasty decided that they would still attack and destroy the Song Dynasty, and continue to attack on the territories they had already occupied and seize more prosperous areas.
At this time, the Zhao Song court was divided into two factions, the pro-peace faction and the pro-war faction. They started a war of words and a tug-of-war. In the end, the pro-peace faction gained the upper hand and wanted to resolve the issue by ceding territory and paying compensation, that is, peace talks!
After the Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty first besieged Tokyo Bianliang, the incompetent Zhao Song court kept ceding land, paying compensation, and negotiating peace, and never really resolved to resist; while the Jin Dynasty attacked while accepting compensation from the Song Dynasty, and after taking the benefits and developing well, it continued to attack Zhao Song's territory.
The Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty used the method of boiling a frog in warm water to gradually occupy a lot of territory of the Song Dynasty. During this period, the Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty had gradually become stronger.
