Chapter 19 Discovery of Iron Mine

Chen Chu was a little depressed. He had already turned over, but why did he still not find the vault? Is the vault not in the inner hall?

Chen Chu and Chen Chu stood in the shaped courtyard with the outer shaped mouth of the inner hall and looked around. He found that the ground of the courtyard had basically been turned over, but there was an exception. There was a stone table to the left of the inner hall, and there were four stone benches around the stone table. Because the stone table and stone benches looked very firm, the soldiers did not move this place.

"Come on, pry open the stone table and bench for me." Chen Chu immediately ordered.

More than a dozen soldiers immediately started to work with iron picks and iron sticks and other tools.

To everyone's surprise, the stone table and bench were not as reliable as imagined. More than a dozen soldiers did not struggle to lift the stone table and bench aside. Then they began to dig again, and after a moment, they finally made a major discovery. They peeled off the floating soil on the surface and presented a large stone slab to everyone.

The dozen soldiers who were digging couldn't help but stop, and all turned to look at Chen Chu, waiting for further instructions.

At this time, Chen Chu was very excited. He had a sense of excitement similar to the protagonist when he found a treasure in an adventure movie. Resisting the excitement in his heart, Chen Chu ordered: "Pry open the stone slab."

After receiving Chen Chu's order, more than a dozen soldiers immediately started prying stone slabs.

With the soldiers' horns, the two-meter square stone slab was quickly pried up. Then a dull "bang" sound was heard, and the stone slab was lifted aside.

In the rising smoke and dust, Chen Chu saw a hole about 1.5 meters, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Five people go down and have a look. Be careful." Chen Chu couldn't wait to order, and finally reminded him. Based on the experience of those adventure movies in previous lives, Chen Chu was very worried about whether there would be any mechanism in it.

As soon as Chen Chu's voice fell, five soldiers immediately crawled down. However, their expressions were very relaxed and casual, and they obviously didn't take Chen Chu's reminder just now. Chen Chu couldn't help frowning, but it was too late to say anything.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the end. A moment later, a soldier climbed out of the cave and reported to Chen Chu with an excited look on his face: "Lord, there is a small room underneath, and it is filled with money, pearls and jade!"

Chen Chu's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Come on to bring those things up to me."

As soon as Chen Chu finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers crawled down. After a while, large boxes filled with money, pearls and jade were transported out one after another.

Looking at these treasures, Chen Chu's mood can only be described in one word, that is - cool!

But it was not over yet. Just as the soldiers were transporting the bandits' vault, a soldier ran in from outside. The soldier's face was full of excitement. He reported to Chen Chu that he had discovered another warehouse. Today is really good news for Chen Chu!

After explaining some things, Chen Chu and Zhang Liao came to a big house with the soldier. This is the newly discovered warehouse that the soldier called. This warehouse is much smaller and much simpler than the previous warehouse. Chen Chu was a little confused. What would be placed here? Is it also food?

After asking his soldiers to open the door, Chen Chu and Zhang Liao walked in.

As soon as he walked into the warehouse, he saw a lot of red rocks. Zhang Liao, who was standing beside him, suddenly showed a look of disappointment, but Chen Chu widened his eyes and his eyes flashed.

Seeing Chen Chu's appearance, Zhang Liao couldn't help but wonder, "Brother, is there anything wrong with these stones?"

Chen Chu shook his head and did not answer Zhang Liao immediately. Instead, he turned around and asked the soldier who led the way, "Are these iron ore?"

The soldier showed a slightly surprised expression and immediately replied: "Report to the lord, according to the bandit brothers who defected to him, these are iron ore."

"Go, hurry up and call someone who is instructed. I have something to ask!" Chen Chu's tone seemed a little urgent. Because he was eager to understand some situation now. The warehouse is iron ore, so do the bandits who surrendered to know where there is iron ore?

A moment later, a former bandit subordinate was taken to Chen Chu.

"Do you know where these iron ore are produced?"

The original bandit knelt on the ground and replied: "Report to the lord, these iron ore are produced from the back mountain of Hu Xiaoshan."

Chen Chu opened his eyes, and a huge joy filled his heart instantly.

"You mean there is an iron ore in this Tiger Soul Mountain?" Chen Chu asked excitedly.

"Yes, not only has it, but also has a large reserve and is easy to mine. The 200,000 kilograms of iron ore in this warehouse are dug out casually when they are fine."

Just dig to dig so much iron ore! If you specialize in mining, how big the output will be!

After calming down his excitement, Chen Chu asked again: "Does any of you know how to mine and smelify iron?"

The bandit smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "We bandits only know how to fight for families and rob. It's okay to say mining, but how can we understand the technology of iron smelting!"

After arranging all the matters of Hu Xiao Village, Chen Chu set off to return to Longhu Village. Three hundred soldiers returned with Chen Chu, who were escorting more than a dozen trucks of money and jewelry and were responsible for guarding Chen Chu. As for the others, they stayed in Hu Xiao Village. Hu Xiao Village is now Chen Chu's barracks, and Zhang Liao stayed there to be responsible for training.

The group arrived at Longhu Village in the evening, and nearly 10,000 people from all ages and young people in Longhu Village were anxiously waiting.

Before Chen Chu and his group arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a crowd of black people coming to meet him at a very fast speed. So Chen Chu raised his right hand and signaled the soldiers under his command to stop.

After a while, the crowd surrounded Chen Chu and his group, and Deng Gong and Rui'er were the ones in front of him.

Everyone's expressions were both excited and nervous. Chen Chu understood what they were thinking. So he whispered to everyone: "The bandits have been wiped out by us! We won!"

As soon as Chen Chu's voice fell, a terrifying cheer suddenly burst into the surrounding area. Chen Chu could hear the sincere emotions contained in the cheers. These refugees who ended their wandering life because of Chen Chu have completely regarded themselves as part of Longhu Village. They were ecstatic for the glory of Longhu Village.

However, Chen Chu also noticed that many people in the cheering crowd looked very depressed and sad. They did not find their relatives in the return team, and they thought their relatives had been killed.

Seeing this, Chen Chu hurriedly said, "I decided to use Hu Xiaozhai as a military camp, so most of the soldiers stayed there."

Hearing this, those who looked sad immediately showed a look of surprise.

Chen Chu couldn't help but have a headache. He didn't know how to explain to the families of the dozens of fallen soldiers. After all, he was a modern person, and he couldn't take the life and death of soldiers seriously like the heroes of this era. So a vague idea appeared in his mind.

"Lord." Deng Gong knelt in front of Chen Chu with tears of excitement. Seeing him kneeling down, the cheering people also knelt down and whispered: "Congratulations to the lord for his victory!". The scene was really spectacular.

However, there was one person who didn't kneel down. This person was Zhang Liao's sister - Zhang Rui.

At this time, Zhang Rui struggled with kind-hearted starry eyes and stared at Chen Chu, her eyes full of admiration. "Brother." Zhang Rui came to Chen Chu and called softly.

Facing the worship of thousands of people, there were beauties around him. Chen Chu suddenly felt energetic and passionate in his heart, and he wanted to yell loudly.

Chen Chu held Zhang Rui's slender hand and returned to the villa surrounded by thousands of people. Zhang Rui let Chen Chu hold her slender hand for the first time.

Back at the villa, Chen Chu asked everyone to disperse, and then sent something to Deng Gong, and Deng Gong left immediately. Chen Chu sent three things to Deng Gong. First, organize some villagers to transport meat, wine and drink to Huxiao Village. The soldiers must reward them if they win the battle. Second, go to the blacksmiths in the village to learn how many people understand the art of iron smelting; Third, build a soul requiem building to store the ashes of the dead soldiers.

After Mr. Deng left, Zhang Rui, who was blushing, suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh! I forgot!"

Chen Chu, who was holding Zhang Ruixian's hand, was also shocked, "What's wrong with Rui'er?" Chen Chu asked hurriedly.

"Brother, how is my brother doing? I didn't listen to you!" Zhang Rui's tone was a little nervous.

Chen Chu couldn't help but feel funny. This Rui'er is really careless. It's only after this that I remembered her brother! Zhang Liao would definitely be very depressed when he knew about it!

"What's going to happen to Wenyuan? I'll let him stay in Huxiaozhai to help me train the army!"

Chen Chu did not spend much energy on this issue, and soon he began to think about the important matter.

What made Chen Chu very worried was the issue of the combat effectiveness of the army. In the previous battles, Chen Chu found that his army lacked a momentum of indomitable momentum. Zhang Liao said that this was because the army was not trained enough and had little combat experience, but Chen Chu did not fully agree with it. He felt that this army lacked something, such a thing was the "military soul" and a belief that he had no regrets for his bloody battle. Simply put, this army had no faith, and only a army with faith could become a true iron-blooded elite. The belief mentioned here was not religious belief, but a spark that ignited the desire to fight.
