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 exposure
Well, isn’t it still our own problem?
"It was done by the public broadcaster, 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 matter, 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 Xi really 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 revealed his secret.
"Okay, let's wait until the war in Kandahar ends. After it ends, 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 besides these, some other things happened, so what?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei and said, picked up the wine bottle on the side and filled 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 above problem 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 the Indochina Peninsula that can be entrusted. Although these places are full of miasma
, there are many trees, but with the abilities of our soldiers and the medicines we can provide, it is not difficult to cultivate them."
Liu Bei proposed to enfeoff 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 is true that enfeoffment has been ongoing, but the scale is not as large as Jiangdong.
You know, every year some veterans of Liu Bei's army, 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 actually 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 need for 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 though these good places may seem useless to the big shots, they are undoubtedly good places for the middle-level people, just like the place chosen by Bi Laoliu, which 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 is really a treasure land of Feng Shui.
To put it too much, this method of enfeoffing land 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 ordinary people can 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 also 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 Army'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 who had evil thoughts." Chen Xi said very tiredly, "But if we want to completely solve this problem, how can we 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 Wenze. I'm worried that after Wenze has the 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
Kushan is just accumulating morale. After all, going from being unable to defeat to being able to defeat will only continuously improve Kushan's morale, so it's 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 an eyebrow 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 friendly troops were in trouble and stayed put. This situation is indeed
Very difficult to deal with.
"Oh oh oh, you have already thought about it. This is the suggestion I made 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 this. 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 if there are too many, there will always be someone who comes 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 increasing the employment rate of the people, the most important thing in the third five-year plan is to destroy Guishang, Guishan, and Guishan.
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 Kushan has not been eliminated at this point, too much time and energy will be wasted in subsequent elimination. Moreover, Chen Xi can maintain the domestic economy while fighting foreign affairs without affecting people's livelihood.
The reason is that the domestic economic performance was very weak in the early days 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
Easy to accomplish.
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.
Under such circumstances, 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 matters, 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 a veteran who was 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 I watched it, I felt that it was indeed so."
Chen Xi was confused when he heard 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. Earlier, when the Han Dynasty produced blast furnaces for iron-making, the Han Dynasty
Although the Han Dynasty did not inform the Roman Empire of the construction method of the blast furnace, it did allow the Roman Empire to enter the Han Dynasty's blast furnace ironworks. Now that the Roman Empire has built it, it is considered normal.
"Actually, it's not just Rome that did it, but Kushan 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 actually produced 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 the secret techniques of the Kushan Dynasty, Guishang was not surprised. The Kushan Dynasty copied the technology of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty
I don’t have a deep feeling about it. After all, it’s been so long. If the Kushan Empire and the Roman Empire still haven’t made any progress and haven’t learned some technology from the Han Dynasty, then 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 improved a lot. 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 for now. Anyway, the Roman Empire is unlikely to conflict with the Han Dynasty in a short time, and the steel furnace will not have any 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
Now that the wooden gun has a steel furnace, wouldn't it increase the lethality by replacing it with a steel gun head? This is the simplest solution to improve combat effectiveness.
"I told the insiders of the Kushan Empire that Kushan already has three steel plants, and they are now continuously producing weapons and equipment." Liu Bei said with a solemn expression. If the three large steel plants 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 steel plants is not a problem at all for the output of iron ore in Kushan.
Therefore, Liu Bei was somewhat worried that the Kushan Empire would prepare hundreds of thousands of fully-armored main force for the Han Dynasty in the next stage. It would be a bit difficult to take advantage of it. Even if it could not withstand the three million main shield guards of the Han Dynasty, during the period
The damage caused by the Han Dynasty will seriously exceed current estimates.
"The steel plant itself can't keep it secret forever. It's not easy for us to hide it for seven or eight years. It's too late for Kushan to come up with it now." Chen Xi comforted him. This thing was originally discovered by Kushan.
It's just inevitable. Kushan 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 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 ironclad 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 powerful defense brought by universal shield guards. The Kushan Empire is now fully engaged in the production of steel plates, and will soon be
There is such a thing.”
Chen Xi nodded after hearing this, but was not too worried. It will take some time for Kushan 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 you can deal with the shield guards.
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 it ends, you can crack something without any problem.
"Did you really not feel this danger?" Liu Bei said with an ugly face. In his opinion, Chen Xi should quickly become cautious after receiving such a serious matter, but he couldn't see it on Chen Xi's face.
After so many years, Liu Bei had long realized that Chen Xi was not a person who was aloof from emotion to anger, but now he was not panicking at all.
"There is no danger. Blast furnace steelmaking is still difficult for Rome and Kushan. Of course, they can indeed 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
There is a problem. The subsequent process of tapping molten steel and getting the molten steel you want is even more of a problem. You must know that from the appearance of the first blast furnace to the present, the core of the blast furnace has not changed, but the quality of the molten steel has become increasingly abnormal.
This is the significance of iron-carbon alloy metallography.
Although Chen Xi didn't learn these things well, Chen Xi really remembered a few phase diagrams. One was the phase diagram of water, and the other was the phase diagram of iron-carbon alloy. Chen Xi remembered these two things very clearly. The first one was because
The supercritical point and the triple point, that is, the special point where gas, liquid, and solid coexist and have all the characteristics of gas, liquid, and solid. One is an important alloy that humans have been studying since more than 2,000 BC and is still in use today.
.
Therefore, Chen Xi really remembers these two things very clearly, and even knows the temperature, proportion and time.
Therefore, even though everyone is a blast furnace, the difference in the final product is huge.
To put it bluntly, Rome and Kushan copied the blast furnace is only the first step, what follows is the real fatal thing.
To put it simply, what kind of steel does Chen Xi use to make steel from a blast furnace? It uses 0.77% carbon to lower the temperature from 1500 degrees to 900 degrees and maintain normal atmospheric pressure, gradually lowering it to about 730 degrees and maintaining it for several seconds.
Within an hour, austenite is directly formed, and then heating is continued, adding carbon to no more than 2.11%, the temperature continues to rise but no more than 1150 degrees, and is maintained for several hours to form austenite + secondary cementite, and then
Continue to maintain this temperature and slightly increase the carbon content, no more than 4.3%, to form a strange thing like austenite + secondary cementite + ledeburite.
Why is this kind of thing needed? Because austenite has good plasticity and low strength. To put it bluntly, it has good toughness, while ledeburite is 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 along the grain boundaries. Distributed to form 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, what is technology, these temperature, time, pressure, human beings did not become conscious until the 18th century, and it was not until the 21st century that they were truly accurate to how many degrees and how many seconds. Chen Xi could not figure it out accurately, but at least Chen Xi Know.
It’s the end of the month, let’s count the votes, the author is almost gone
