Chapter 1528 Peach Blossom Spring

Chen Mu believes that they discovered this new mineral completely by coincidence.

This kind of mineral should also exist in Daming, because according to the properties of steel after smelting, he thinks this thing may be the manganese mentioned in the past.

Manganese steel, who doesn't know?
But if this thing is added to steel less, it will turn wrought iron into pig iron?

This made him not quite sure.

What's more, even if it is confirmed, it is useless. In this life, this thing may not be called Manganese, maybe it will be called Lu?

In the days that followed, King Lu simply moved into the Metallurgical Department of the Imperial Clan University... Anyway, the Clan University is full of his own family members, so after staying for a few days, he really didn't feel any resistance at all.

In good conscience, King Lu's treatment in the Imperial Clan University is better than that in the Forbidden City.

Although in the Forbidden City, Lu Wang is the treasure of the whole world, and everyone knows that he is loved by thousands of people, but he is always by Wanli's side, and he is quite bullied.

The emperor always came to say that King Lu does not eat, King Lu does not want, King Lu watches others eat fruit, and King Lu watches others drink drinks.

Arriving at the Imperial Clan University in Asia, it gave King Lu an enjoyment he had never had in the Forbidden City.

Of all the clans in the university, those who are older than him are not as senior as him, and those who are older than him are not as high as him.

Everyone has to coax him, which is much better than being in the Forbidden City.

What's more, Lu Wang really knows a lot of things, military, ships, especially machinery, it's not in vain to do machine repairs with Wanli, just a few days after arriving at the Imperial Clan University, he made a set of design drawings and sent them to Changsheng to order the latest He smelted tools, and even repaired two rail human-powered carts that were placed in the imperial clan university.

Mo County is peaceful with music and dance, but near Muye in the northeast, a war is taking place.

Yang Zhaolong, magistrate of Makino County, finally ended the years when his father was reincarnated and ruled.

In fact, it is not considered to protect the environment and the people, it is basically a bully.

With the establishment of the Makino County Government, the development of the Long Beach and the Great Lakes mining areas, and the use of railroad tracks to connect the most extensive land in Northeast Asia, the jurisdiction of Makino has entered a stage of rapid expansion.

Yang Zhaolong's ability to govern the local area is equivalent to no. The government's binding force on the longhouse alliance is basically reflected in tariffs and tobacco taxes. In addition, the longhouse alliance can exercise its own laws, and the members of the alliance's tribes also have considerable autonomy.

There are countless tribes in the vast and sparsely populated North Asia. The rapid expansion of the longhouse alliance's activity area will inevitably squeeze the living space of some other tribes, and even force the tribes that were originally hostile to fight for land to fight against the more powerful tribes. The longhouse is united.

For example, the Austrians and Su people in the west of the Muye mining area were the first two tribes to feel threatened.

From the year before last, the men in their tribe who hunted or collected in small boats in rivers, lakes, and swamps often disappeared suddenly. The wooden boat that landed on the shore, the things on it were taken clean.

At first, no one cared, it was just that these people found something, mainly because there was no trace of fighting near the boat, and because it was discovered late, the footprints on the ground disappeared without a trace.

But later this kind of situation happened more and more frequently. People often disappeared suddenly, and even a hunting team of more than a dozen people disappeared, sometimes leaving traces of fighting on the scene.

Later, there was news of the captives fleeing back. According to their testimonies, it was proved that in the lake area to the east of the two tribes, there were some women from other tribes who often captured men from the wild and took them to the mines in the east.

Catch the east side for nothing but to sleep.

The mines are full of women.

Then the Sioux and the Austrians decided to retaliate against the eastern mines and recapture the robbed tribes. A force armed with hunters and guards quickly assembled, swept the longhouse strongholds and fields along the way, and captured the Mississippi River. A mine newly developed by longhouse people on the shore.

The entire war machine started to move.

It's not Yang Zhaolong, it's not Yang Zhaolong's turn yet, it's the powerful and wealthy women like Muye who left the mine they were digging one by one, put on the Wanli Tongbao armor, and rushed towards the Sioux and Ao people with rail steel knives and explosive cartridges tribe.

They had no tactics, no organization, only full of anger, rolled the gunpowder for mining with uncut heavy cigarette paper, and threw it into the igloo of the enemy tribe at night, blasted, set fire, hacked and killed, and the captives received Scares people who escape from the house.

Like a beast from the Great Lakes.

When Yang Zhaolong learned that all this happened, the two doormat-like tribes had launched all unprecedented mobilizations, and production had been completely abandoned, only for the endless war.

This war was not chosen by them, but by the women of the Longhouse Alliance.

For the Longhouse Alliance, regardless of gender, if a person dies, a war of silent mourning must be launched to take a person from the other side and adopt him to replace the dead person. The more people they die, the larger the war of silent mourning will be.

But the reason for the war, even Yang Zhaolong, a county magistrate who was born as a chieftain, could not understand.

You are full of food and rob other people's tribes, and you are beaten back to death, and you want to start a big war?

But the alliance has unanimously passed it. Regardless of whether it is the Iroquois or the Hurons, more than a dozen tribes, men, women, and children, are all mobilizing. All the food, grass, and weapons needed to start the war are all ready, and the scouts have also stepped into the Great Lakes region as the advance Conduct pre-battle reconnaissance.

Every day, a large number of tribal leaders sneaked into his magistrate's office, regardless of whether he was there or not, and directly discussed tactics in the magistrate's lobby.

He is a man riding on the back of a tiger, and his arrow is on the string. Even if Muye's Ming army does not move out, the Longhouse Alliance will come out in full force.

It is nothing more than the lack of firearms and the lack of cavalry troops.

In fact, there is not even a shortage of cavalry. The Mongolian aborigines of Hulanwei have already gone to battle on horses and with horned bows.

There were indeed some people in this war because of hatred or the habit of silently mourning the war, but more tribal leaders were willing to participate in the war for the sake of profit.

They are not used to peace, and have lived in the peaceful conditions of Muye for a long time. On the contrary, these people who have been fighting all their lives are not used to it. They need war.

Especially after they have better weapons and better armor, they are eager to start a war around them.

Teams of Mirokui warriors traveled on the track in horse-drawn carts transporting ore. After arriving in the Great Lakes region, they regrouped and headed west.

Yang Zhaolong, the magistrate, had no other choice. He led the troops all the way to the west. He might try to send envoys to the two hostile tribes to persuade them to join the Ming Dynasty. Joining the Ming Dynasty could avoid war.

But that's the end of it, no one wants a title before a big fight.

Li Zhi, who was looking for the Peach Blossom Land in his dream, also became a witness to this war...which made him deeply realize that this is not the Peach Blossom Land.
