Chapter 356

On the second floor of a small building on the east side of the village castle in the center of Yunzhou Jiangying, Zhang Cheng took a sip of tea and continued: "For example, can you try to use water to drive a sledgehammer to make armor leaves? If this is the case, will it save manpower and be more standardized?
The last thing is iron smelting. Iron is inseparable from the manufacture of guns, artillery, and armor. We can use ore to refine it into pig iron first, and then hammer it into mature iron, so that it can be used for making guns, armor, knives and guns.

So is there any way, in the process of smelting iron ore, try to improve the process to directly produce wrought iron, wouldn't it be more time-saving and labor-saving. "

When Zhang Cheng said this, he saw a group of women pushing the door into the house, and plates of dishes were also put on the table, and he said: "I will talk about these for today. These are just some ideas, and I have to rely on you for the specific matters." Do it, and remember to do it with all your heart.”

"The commander-in-chief's words really opened my mind, many of which I didn't dare to think about, please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, I have had contact with many things you said just now, and it is not difficult to make them, please Let the villain wait for a while." Shi Tiegen hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Okay, I trust you to wait, everyone, let's sit down!"

…………

On the tenth day of August, in the early morning, there was a cool breeze blowing across the earth.

In a mountain depression at the west foot of Chang'an Mountain, a clear stream flows slowly. Rows of neat military tents are erected on both sides, and a wooden wall is erected around the periphery. From time to time, patrolling soldiers come and go.

It was the soldiers and horses of Division B of Dushibu Battalion, Xuanzhen North Road, who were ordered to go to Zhao Shihu in Muzhajian, to camp here. Now the firemen are busy, preparing breakfast for the soldiers, and some soldiers are tidying up near the military tents. luggage.

Since they left the camp at noon on the fifth day, they marched for more than 30 miles every day in armor, and then they had to set up camps, build strongholds, bury pots and light fires to rebel. Shi drilled his mother's hard work!

According to Zhang Cheng's request, Jin Yong has been marching in accordance with the rules of wartime since the time he led the army to leave the camp. Every day, depending on the road conditions, he marched between [-] and [-] miles. , meticulous.

He kept Zhang Cheng's words in mind: marching is a drill, and we must make good use of this opportunity to suppress bandits, and strictly follow the military regulations.

In fact, Zhang Cheng did not formulate any other military manuals, drills, etc. Since he first traveled through time, he has been persistently studying "Records of Military Training" and "New Book of Ji Xiao" by Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao, the war gods of the Ming Dynasty.

He believes that as the top military strategist of this era, the experience he has summed up is more applicable to the army of this era, and "Records of Military Training" and "New Book of Ji Xiao" start from the selection, formation, banners, and weapons. Equipment, military salutes and military laws, as well as general selection, command, training, formation, marching, camping, etc. are all explained in detail.

Zhang Cheng listed "Actual Records of Troop Training" and "New Book of Ji Xiao" as the military drills of all armies on the North Road since he built a camp on the North Road. Study "Records of Military Training" and "New Book of Ji Xiao".

He also specially arranged for scribes to decompose, extract and print the volumes and chapters of "Records of Military Training" and "New Book of Ji Xiao", so that they can be distributed to different generals under his command to carry with him. For example, Jin Yong now has a camp , Expedition and other military codes.

Chenshi is also known as Chaoshi, and as the name suggests, it is the time to eat breakfast. With the loud and rhythmic sound of the trumpet of the Chinese army, all the sergeants began to gather around the fire soldiers to have breakfast.

They gathered in one place to have a meal with A as a unit. Although there were more than a thousand people, they were in order, without any confusion, and there was no whispering.

Looking at all this, Jin Yong felt satisfied. Just the day before yesterday, he punished two sergeants who violated the drills during the march. Now it seems that everyone has gradually adapted to the hardships of the march.

Seeing that most of the sergeants had finished their breakfast, he ordered the Chinese army to blow their horns again, and the army began to break out of the camp and prepare to set off.

Ten large supply carts lined up in the middle of the camp, and the sergeants attached to each cart, which had just finished washing and eating, were packing their luggage and harnessing mules and horses to the carts.

This was temporarily dispatched to Jin Yong from Wei Zhice's wagon camp. Along with the ten carts, there were also ten frontal buttresses, ten assistant brigades, and a hundred wagon battalion sergeants. The First Bureau of the Division A Division is led by Du Chungang, the chief executive of Baiji.

Each heavy cart can be loaded with grain, rice, beans, fried chess, etc., a total of twelve stones and five buckets, which can provide food for nearly 120 five people for three days. Loading rations for more than [-] people for three days.

After Wei Zhice's car battalion is fully staffed, it will have three supply car departments, with a total of [-] heavy vehicles, which can guarantee the rations of Zhang Cheng's army for more than ten days.

These large carts are uniformly regulated, and each cart weighs two thousand catties, and is pulled by eight strong mules and horses.

It was originally planned that each cart would be equipped with two Francophone No. [-] guns, and ten sergeants accompanying the cart, including the commander, gunner, musketman, and spearman, who were responsible for guarding the safety of the cart, as well as two captains and a deputy. .

However, these large vehicles have not yet had time to install the No. [-] gun of the Frang machine. I am afraid that they will not be able to install it until after they complete this mission.

"Everyone's things are tidy and tidy, and all the guys on my body are checked again according to the requirements of the drill, and nothing is missing!" Liu Changliang, the chief of the Division A of the Second Division of the Dushibuying, walked towards the people under his command. growled the sergeant.

Everyone knows that this old soldier who always followed the commander into King Jingqin at the beginning shouted again in a voice like a broken gong: "Bird musketeers, you must have some snacks. If anyone brings less things, he will come to you!" If you can't hit it when you are about to fight, you will lose your head!"

There is a scar on the face of this chief Liu Changliang. It is said that it is said that it was left behind by protecting the general when he fought against the Tartars in Julu.

Because although he was the general manager of Division A of Division B of Dushibuying, he already belonged to the rank of deputy Qianhu. The soldiers of Division A privately called it "Scarred Qianhu".

Team B, Division A, Team B, Division A, Division B, and Team B, had three tigers. After finishing the whole body of equipment, in order to prevent omissions, he touched each one with his hands again.

Cheng Sanhu muttered while touching: "One bird gun. One bird gun stick, one tin turtle, one gun case, five matchlocks. One lead bag, three hundred lead, and thirty tubes of medicine packs." .Three hundred copies of spare gunpowder, three coins each, totaling six catties."

Cheng Sanhu muttered words like reciting Buddhist scriptures. He weighed the heavy gunpowder bag with his hands, and then patted the long knife on his waist and the coconut ladle filled with clear water.

"Alive!"

Cheng Sanhu murmured, and then looked at the second armor leader standing in front of the queue, who had already been dressed.
