Chapter 554: Converter steelmaking

ps: There are a lot of things today, there are only two changes, tomorrow will make up changes.
After three days in Pengzhou City, Xiao Ming returned to Qingzhou.
This time he came to Pengzhou just to see the place of Longxing in Liu Bang. Like many people, he also had a dream of a big man in his heart. The iron and blood and glory of the past made him dream at the peak of power every midnight. There will be blood boiling, and he also wants such a flourishing age.
It's just that he also understands that the road is still very long now. Now the domestic problems of Dayu are in a mess, and the expansion of territory is still far away, but the victory of the Battle of Pengzhou gave him hope.
To fight foreigners, he must first settle down. Now he is determined to solve the problem of domestic vassals first. Only by mastering the unified Great Yu country can he be able to break into the jungle of the great voyage era to grab food.
Originally, he was planning to live in Pengzhou City for a week, but another news came and he had to go back early.
According to this year’s shipbuilding plan, Dengzhou Shipyard formally delivered 24 warships to the fleet a few days ago. In addition to the previous 15 warships, the Dengzhou Army now has 39 warships.
For him, these thirty-nine warships will truly ensure that he is unimpeded in the East Asian waters, and can further ensure the safety of the navigation channel.
Naturally, he returned to Qingzhou this time not to observe the warships, but to prepare naval cadets from Bowen Academy to go to Dengzhou.
The warship is dead, but the navy students are alive. Weapons can only be exerted in the hands of humans. Therefore, before each batch of naval students board the ship, Xiao Ming will come to the Bowen Academy to meet them in person.
On the one hand, he wanted to be familiar with his face and strengthen his sense of existence, and on the other hand, he was also to increase the loyalty of the soldiers.
After all, once a battleship enters the sea, it is like a wild horse running off the hook. In the great voyage era, many regular battleships were finally taken on the road of pirates by the captain, and this was not what he wanted to see.
"His Royal Highness, there are a total of one hundred sixty and seventy students on board this time."
Yue Yun also rushed back from Dengzhou specifically for this matter, looking at the energetic students, he was happy from ear to ear, and for him he was not happy to expand the fleet size.
All the students who are about to rush to Dengzhou stand in three rows. These students will play an extremely important role on the battleship, such as captain, first officer, second officer, navigator, sailor captain, and so on.
As for the ordinary sailors and gunners on the battleship, they do not need to study specifically at Bowen Academy, but only need to be recruited and trained in Dengzhou.
"From today, you will be a member of the Navy, but this does not mean that you are qualified now. For this king, only soldiers who are able to protect the borders of Great Chongqing and the routes of Great Chongqing are qualified to be called. The real navy soldier, and the next time is to test you." Xiao Ming said loudly.
"Yes, Your Highness!" the navy cadets shouted in unison.
Xiao Ming nodded, now the soldiers are more and more like modern soldiers.
Yue Yun smiled and watched Xiao Mingxun's words. After Xiao Ming finished speaking, he led a group of naval cadets and said to Xiao Ming: "My glory is loyalty!"
Whether it is in the Bowen Academy or the military, the loyalty of soldiers and officials to Xiao Ming is the most important thing. Because of this, Xiao Ming let this sentence become the spoken language of the generals and soldiers. This is a subtle hint that makes loyalty become every general. And the instinct of the soldier.
As soon as he saw the students on board this time, Xiao Ming asked the navy students to disband. At this time, Yue Yun said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness must have known about the Tongzhou port. King Wei cut off the port's supplies, which allowed the warship to cruise. Some difficulties have arisen."
Xiao Ming nodded lightly, "The envoy of King Wei and the king said very clearly. Since he did not give it, we will seize it. After this time, you will lead the fleet to bomb Tongzhou and cooperate with the boarding. The state army won Tongzhou City."
"His Royal Highness, the General has long wanted to do this, so why are we suffering from Wei Wang's idleness." Yue Yun smiled.
Xiao Ming sighed and said, "It used to be to maintain harmony on the surface, but now it is completely torn apart. By the way, it is one thing to win Tongzhou. Don't forget the most important thing. Keep your eyes on Goguryeo."
"Yes, Your Highness." Yue Yun said with a bow.
After telling Yue Yun two things, Xiao Ming walked towards the palace, and along the way he met from time to time the powerful children who could only be seen in Chang'an.
Since the Chang'an Rebellion, more and more Chang'an nobles have fled to Qingzhou. It is for this reason that Qingzhou has more merchants and powerful children.
But now these powerful children are nothing but phoenixes that have lost their hair. They are not as good as chickens. They used to rely on Chang'an City, but they suddenly became lonely in Qingzhou.
At first they were uncomfortable, but soon they became merchants to survive.
Even Princess Pingyang is now doing business honestly in the Chamber of Commerce, but with the name of the princess, her business is getting bigger and bigger.
During this time, she was busy building a white sugar workshop and a dyeing workshop.
Xiao Ming didn't expect the Chang'an Rebellion to bring such a prosperous scene to Qingzhou, because even if these powerful and powerful fled, they brought a lot of gold and silver with them. These silver flowers in Qingzhou greatly promoted local consumption.
According to Pang Yukun, even the price of houses in Qingzhou City has more than tripled.
Thinking about it all the way, Xiao Ming returned to the palace. Fei Yueer and Concubine Zhen were talking and laughing in the pavilion in front of the pond.
After the initial grief, Zhen Fei's mood gradually recovered, which made Xiao Ming relieved. Although Zhen Fei was only the mother of the predecessor Xiao Ming, she has been sincerely helping Xiao Ming since he came here~EbookFREE.me ~ He maintains the most basic respect for such a kind and loving woman.
Looking at the two of them, Xiao Ming didn't bother them, but went directly to his study.
The war continues, but the development of science and technology cannot be stagnant. After all, the level of science and technology in Qingzhou is not comprehensive enough, so he will return to compile science and technology materials as long as he is free.
This time Xiao Ming will recommend converter steelmaking technology. With the introduction of steam engines, more and more industries need steel, and the original crucible ironmaking has no way to meet the current demand.
In the past, Xiao Ming did not implement this technology because there was no qualified oxygen blowing equipment before the steam engine was launched. Now that he has a steam engine, he can use the steam engine to solve this difficulty.
When he arrived in the study, Xiao Ming started to describe the unfinished parts. A few days ago, he had already completed a part, and now there is still a quarter of the drawings left.
Once these drawings are completed, they can be delivered to the steel mill to produce steelmaking equipment. Once the converter steelmaking technology breaks through, the quality of Qingzhou's steel will rise sharply, and the barrel will be able to withstand higher-strength gunpowder.
