Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 258

[Chapter 258 Drill]

Five days later.

Jinling.

Zhao Xu’s notebook was in Zhao Heng’s hands.

After reading the contents of the brochure, he called Mi Yan and Dou Wei to the study.

“Your Majesty, the battle in Jinzhou is urgent. How can the King of Yan train his troops calmly? We should take advantage of Xiliang soldiers’ unsteady foothold and retake Jincheng.” Dou Wei bowed, with a look of emotion for the country and the people.   Zhao Heng looked at Mi Yan at this moment, “What does Mi Aiqing

think?”

If you rush into the battle, you may not only fail to win, but also lose troops, and there will be no one to turn back the chaos in the Northwest.” Mi Yan glanced at Dou Wei, not in a hurry.

“Master Mi’s words are completely unreasonable. Back then, King Yan used 30,000 horsepower to fight against the Yuan family and defend Yanguan. Why did he have to be so timid when dealing with Xiliang? Your majesty, the ministers thought that King Yan was fighting cowardly.” Dou Wei sneered. One sound.

Mi Yan laughed loudly, “Why is Prime Minister Dou being so harsh on King Yan? If the prime minister thinks that King Yan is timid to fight, how about sending Jingzhou soldiers and horses into Jinzhou immediately?”

Dou Wei’s expression changed immediately, “You are messing around. The king of Yan, why did you bring my Dou family in.”

“Aren’t the Dou family’s servants of His Majesty’s? The fall of Jin Province, the Dou family can just sit on the sidelines?” Mi Yan pressed every step of the way.

Dou Weiyi was suffocated, rolled his eyes three times, and suddenly replied: “I suddenly feel that what King Yan said is also reasonable, and we should give him time to train soldiers calmly.”

Hearing this, Zhao Heng pondered for a while, and said: “Since the two lovers are so In my opinion, I have agreed to King Yan.”

“The emperor is wise.” Mi Yan and Dou Wei bowed.

It’s just that Dou Wei’s face is quite unwilling.

Nothing else, Zhao Heng ordered Dou Wei to step down, leaving Mi Yan behind.

The reason why he called Mi Yan and Dou Weiguo today was because of his intention.

Dou Wei represents the officials of the powerful family. As long as Dou Wei nods, there is no objection to allowing King Yan to train troops.

There is no need to say it at the court meeting.

And Mi Yan represents the influence of King Yan in the court.

This time he was asked to refute Dou Wei.

Because he knew that Dou Weiyi would definitely oppose King Yan’s request.

Now that Mi Yan has let Mi Yan say any ugly things, he, the emperor, needs to reap the benefits without directly arguing with Dou Wei.

For him, this feeling has never been better.

Of course, he also agreed with King Yan’s idea of training soldiers.

What he wants is to take back Jinju.

If the king of Yan is defeated because the recruits are not trained, the chaos in the northwest will be out of control.

Instead, postpone March.

“Mi Aiqing is troubled this time.” Zhao Heng looked at Mi Yan with a smile on his face.

This time he deliberately let Mi Yan come first, before Dou Wei came, the two discussed how to force Dou Wei to agree to this matter.

However, Dou Wei might hate Mi Yan even more.

“The emperor’s words are serious. This is a matter for the ministers. The world of Dasong is the world of the royal family. How can we allow Xiao Xiaoying to camp dogs.” Mi Yan said.

Zhao Heng nodded slightly, “Dou Wei is covering the sky with one hand in the court, and he will get the help of the Ma family. From now on, his arrogance may become even more arrogant.”

Sighing softly, he showed a mournful look, “At this moment, I can only rely on You are with King Yan.”

Hearing what Zhao Heng said, Mi Yan looked excited, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will not let Dou Wei do whatever he wants.”

“Okay.” Zhao Heng nodded in satisfaction.

Let Mi Yan go back, he drew up a decree to send people to Yanzhou.

This time, the changes in Jinzhou and the Ma family made him feel a little uneasy.

Some people are becoming more and more unable to restrain their ambitions.

…

the military commander.

Wang Ying held up a drill bit in front of Zhao Xu.

This is a long shaft made of high carbon steel with a tapered end and six rows of cross lugs on the shaft.

“Well, yes, you can try to drill holes by fixing it on the water wheel.” Zhao Xu said.

The drill bit that Wang Ying is holding now is the simplest drill bit style.

It is naturally incomparable with the twist drill bits used in contemporary times.

The reason why this kind of drill bit is used is because the twist drill bit is too complicated, and it is quite troublesome for the craftsman to grind it. If it is hand-grinded, it will take ten days and a half months to grind out one.

So he chose this most basic drill bit.

Simply put, this is a large needle.

But enough for drilling.

After all, the original industrial products were very rough and could not be as fine as the contemporary ones.

Wang Ying nodded, and called a craftsman to a workshop in Linhe.

While grinding the drill bit, Wang Ying asked a carpenter to make a water wheel.

Now, a wooden pole protrudes from outside the workshop.

Driven by the water wheel, it can’t stop rotating.

Wang Ying asked people to raise the water wheel from the water, and the wooden pole did not turn back.

At this time, the craftsman compared the groove on the wooden pole and fixed the horizontal ear mouth into the groove.

After the water wheel is lowered, the drill bit rotates.

Seeing this, Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Xu smiled, the hydraulic drilling machine was considered a success.

Next was finally able to drill the barrel.

“In addition to hydraulic drilling machines, build some manual drilling machines.” Zhao Xu said.

Originally, making flintlock guns was a matter of no rush.

But the sudden outbreak of war made him have to increase production in a short time.

This hand-operated drilling machine is simple, just change the water wheel into something like a car steering wheel.

The craftsman turns the wheel by shaking it.

However, manpower is naturally not as powerful as water power, so the drilling efficiency will not be very high, but it can be made up for by relying on more people.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Wang Ying said.

At this time, a craftsman came over with a solid iron rod.

The two ordered the craftsman to fix the iron rod on the bench-like fixture.

After adjusting the position of the iron rod, the center is facing the drill bit, and the craftsman moves the iron rod to the direction.

When the drill bit touches the iron rod, a small hole first appears, and then the drill bit continues to deepen, and the hole continues to expand until it is as thick as the drill rod.

Then he walked forward with difficulty. According to this state, it is estimated that one day can be drilled.

Although in Zhao Xu’s view, such efficiency is quite low.

But Wang Ying and the craftsmen danced as if they had created a nuclear bomb.

After all, this is another brand new skill of Bing Zhansi.

Zhao Xu was also infected, and had fun with the craftsmen for a while.

In any case, an important process of the flintlock has been completed.

And importantly, the success of the drilling machine laid the foundation for the manufacture of the boring machine.

In addition to boring cannons, boring machines can also be used to make steam engines.

The steam engine cylinder of the eighteenth century is cut out with the boring machine for cutting the cannon.

Coming out of the workshop, Zhao Xu ordered Wang Ying to add more water wheels.

Then he asked: “How is Wang Chong’s firing device?”

Just after he finished speaking, he saw Wang Chong happily running towards him, holding a shiny silver thing in his hand.

When he came in front of Zhao Xu, he raised the things in his hands and said, “Your Highness, the next official came in time, right?”
