Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, the hydraulic hammer has been hammered. Please come and tell me if there is anything wrong. Read М" Wang Ying looked with heavy dark circles under his eyes.

After staying up all night and hammering it with water power, he came to the palace.

"No rush, let's go after breakfast." Zhao Xu couldn't help but Wang Yingfen said, and took him to have breakfast together.

Then the two went to the Bingzhan Division.

In a workshop along the river in Bingzhangsi, he saw a large version of the hydraulic forging hammer modified by carpenters.

"Dong dong..."

In the small room, a wooden pole as thick as a bucket stretched out from the outside.

On this wooden stick are criss-crossed steel plates.

Each steel plate corresponds to a slightly thinner wooden stick, and at the end of the wooden stick is the hammer head of the forging hammer.

In this way, the wooden sticks with hammer heads are arranged on the left and right, four on each side, eight in total.

The thick wooden stick in the middle is constantly rotating, and each rotation will cause the steel plate to bring up a hammer handle to complete a beating.

The eight hammer handles kept beating back and forth.

Each of these hammer heads is as big as a human head.

It rises and then falls, which is several times more powerful than a blacksmith.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.

This hydraulic forging hammer is already the most perfect forging hammer that can be made in this era.

At this time, he walked out of the workshop and came to the river, where he saw a huge wheel spinning under the influence of the current of Liuzhan River.

It was what moved the stick.

"Well done, just as the king asked." Zhao Xu praised.

As he thought, the ancients were not stupid, they just lacked mentors to guide them.

Now, he proposed a plan, and Wang Ying and his craftsmen quickly made it.

Wang Ying's tired smile was filled with joy. The skills taught to him by King Yan had finally been realized during this period. He had lived up to King Yan's expectations.

"With this thing, we can make plate armor." Zhao Xu was full of expectations.

Unlike scale armor, plate armor is made of large-area steel sheets riveted together.

Therefore, making plate armor requires this huge hammer head, so that the steel parts can be hammered into the desired shape more quickly.

It can be said that with this thing, plate armor, like scale armor, can be mass-produced.

Wang Ying nodded, "Don't worry, Your Highness. In the past few days, I have asked the craftsmen to make a pair of plate armor by themselves. They have mastered the method of making plate armor, and now with this forging hammer, they are even more comfortable." "

"That's good. During this period, your military division has no time to spare. Beidi cavalry has been appearing in Yan County in recent days. A fierce battle is inevitable in the future." Zhao Xu frowned.

After Chang Wei drove away the first batch of Beidi scouts, the detective horses sent out reported that more Beidi scouts entered Yan County.

Beidi's high-intensity investigation made him very uneasy.

I'm afraid that Beidi will play something big.

Therefore, what he can do now is to try his best to put on a pair of armor for each of his royal soldiers.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the craftsmen have mastered the skills, and it will be much easier below. However, it would be nice if there were more manpower." Wang Ying looked at the busy military department.

Originally, the Bingzhan Division had enough manpower.

However, after the blast furnaces were continuously put into use and steelmaking increased manpower, there was not enough manpower.

Zhao Xu was silent after hearing this.

"Your Highness..."

At this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice and saw a fleet of boats approaching slowly on the wide Liuzhan River.

At the bow of the first boat, two people were waving to him. When they saw him looking towards the river, they bowed and saluted.

"Aren't those Zhou Yi and Wang Yanzhong?" Xu Lie recognized the two people with sharp eyes.

Zhao Xu also recognized the two of them at this time, and couldn't help feeling happy.

If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.

It's been a while since these two people left, and he didn't know what surprise they could bring him.

"Don't worry now, the person who will help you is here." Zhao Xu said to Wang Ying.

Because Bingzhansi could not dock here, Wang Yanzhong's ship continued to sail south, and there was an unloading dock in front of it.

Zhao Xu took Wang Ying there. If anyone was available, he would be able to take it over immediately.

The group of people rode to Nancheng Pier, where Wang Yanzhong's boat happened to stop.

Zhou Yi and Wang Yanzhong jumped ashore and saluted Zhao Xu again.

"No courtesy." Zhao Xu said, looking past the two of them to the three ships docked on the shore, "How is it? What are the results of this line of work?"

"Back to Your Highness, I found out from my friends that the people in Jinzhou were displaced due to the war, so I went to Jinzhou with Zhou Yi. Sure enough, there were people fleeing along the road there. This time I bought it without any effort. More than a thousand craftsmen." Wang Yanzhong said.

"More than a thousand craftsmen?" Zhao Xu and Wang Ying looked at each other and were both overjoyed.

"Exactly, because there were too many people, Xiao Xiao and Wang Yanzhong chose the craftsmen first. They will definitely bring back more people when they go again." Zhou Yi added.

Wang Yanzhong nodded, "But we need to bring more ships with us this time."

"That's easy to say. I will ask Yang He to find a solution for you later."

Everyone is talking.

The boatman opened the deck cover.

One by one, ragged craftsmen climbed up from the cabin.
