The next day, Tang Zheng went to the blacksmith workshop in Houshan early in the morning, since Tang Zheng decided to list Houshan as a military stronghold, he moved the blacksmith workshop from the river to Houshan, and in the future, Houshan was not allowed to go up except for workers, and he also arranged heavy troops to guard Houshan to prevent people with ulterior motives from breaking into Houshan.

Last time, the master craftsman of the workshop sent someone to say that the Mo knife had already made 800 pieces of armor, and there were more than 300 sets of armor at a slower pace. Tang Zheng is going to transport all the weapons and armor back to the barracks today, and by the way, take a look at the current output of the blacksmith workshop. When Tang Zheng arrived at the workshop, the master craftsman Ou Xianhe was already waiting at the gate, Tang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, Ou Xianhe Zi Yuanzheng is more than sixty years old this year, his ancestor was the famous Ou Yezi in the Warring States Period, in order to invite him, Cheng Pu took a lot of effort, no matter what, he didn't come, and later he still heard that there was a new type of material forging before he moved. But he does have some skills, Tang Zheng changed from the black hammer armor of the Tang Dynasty and then designed the armor to solve the problem in tandem, so Tang Zheng still respects him very much. "How can Yuan Zhenggong let you come out and wait for the kid, this is not a tormenting boy." Tang Zheng helped Ou Xianhe and said as he walked. "I ate and drank with Cheng Gong last night, and I heard him say that you are going to go out to suppress bandits, I estimate that you will come over today, so I am waiting for you here." Ou Xianhe replied. "If you don't come again today, I'm going to go to you, we made the hydraulic stamping method you mentioned. I want you to see if it's the same as you say. "Made it? So fast? I thought it would take some time, but the barracks were busy during this time and I didn't have time to come, so I didn't come. Tang Zheng explained to the old man. In fact, Ou Xianhe was also more curious about Tang Zheng, how could a person be able to learn to this level, know agricultural affairs, know how to do things, and be proficient in other miscellaneous studies. Even iron-making knows no less than him. "Well, it's done, I'm waiting for you to take you to see it." Ou Xianhe said as he took Tang Zheng to the hydraulic press. The principle of hydraulic stamping machine Tang Zheng only told him a big block, Tang Zheng didn't understand it very well, he only knew that it was to convert circular motion into linear motion, and as for how to convert it, Tang Zheng didn't know, so he was actually made by them with a sentence.

Tang Zheng and Master Ou came to the place where the hydraulic press was placed, and looked at the things in front of them, which was beyond Tang Zheng's expectations, they thought that they would make a large volume, but they didn't expect the volume to be so big as he imagined, only the size of two adult cows. This is also a big improvement, with a hydraulic press after forging armor and Mo knives can be much faster. "Is it the same as what you said? I've tried it to work much faster than manual forging, and the hardness of the iron is much higher. "Master Ou, you guys are amazing, much better than I imagined. In the future, with this thing, the production will be convenient, and you can make a few more units. Tang Zheng looked at the machine and said to Master Ou. Yes, as long as the first one is made, it is very easy, and there are no technical difficulties. "Then it's troublesome for Master Ou to make a few more units, if you need manpower or something, you can go to Grandpa Cheng." "Well, if you need anything, I'll look for Cheng Gong, as long as it's the same as you said, if you have anything to do first, I'll check it again." Master Ou began to chase people. "Well, I'll leave everything to Master Ou." Tang Zheng was about to turn around and leave, and suddenly said: "By the way, Master Ou, since the hydraulic press has been made, I think the blacksmith workshop is divided into a craftsman workshop and a weapon production workshop. You see how. "It's good to separate these and make it less troublesome, there are a lot of things in it are very important, and there are more people coming in and out, and there are many people with different motives." Master Ou also behaved reasonably. "That kid will arrange it, and in the future, I will ask Master Ou to take charge of the weapons workshop, and tell Master Ou about the specific matters when the kid straightens it out." Tang Zheng said to Master Ou: "If Master Ou doesn't have anything else, then the kid will go down, if there is anything, Master Ou will send someone to call the kid directly." Ou Xianhe waved at Tang Zheng and motioned for him to leave first.

Tang Zheng found the steward of the warehouse and asked how many pairs of armor and how many Mo knives there were now. got that there are now 873 Mo knives and 548 sets of armor, and Tang Zheng asked him to arrange for all the people to be sent to the barracks. Then he thought about how to disassemble the blacksmith workshop, and was busy until the afternoon before Tang Zheng walked towards the barracks.

By the time they arrived at the barracks, the weapons and armor had already arrived, and they were all stacked in the warehouse. Tang Zheng returned to his office, and in the barracks, every captain above the captain had his own office. Tang Zheng asked Cheng Hu and Cheng Mo to be called in, and now Cheng Hu and Cheng Mo are mainly responsible for the daily affairs and training of the military camp. After a while, the two of them came to Tang Zheng's office and reported to Tang Zheng about the training during this period and the affairs of the barracks. After listening to their reports, Tang Zheng asked the two to sit down, told them about discussing with Cheng Puhan last night about preparing to send troops to suppress bandits, so that they could be mentally prepared, and then asked Cheng Hu to go out and call people above the squadron leader to the conference room for a meeting.

Now there are 16 captains and deputy captains, and there are 24 squadron leaders, and after a while, all of them are here, and Tang Zheng repeats what he just said to Cheng Hu and Cheng Mo. Everyone was very calm and didn't show panic or any kind of expression, maybe Cheng Hu told them before, and Tang Zheng asked everyone to express their opinions. No one said anything to obey Tang Zheng's arrangement, Tang Zheng saw that everyone really didn't have anything to say, so he announced his decision, and from tomorrow everyone began to conduct half-month training with armor, and the cooperation between the teams should be tacit. Now let the captains of each team gather people to the warehouse to receive equipment, the weapon Mo Dao is enough, but Tang Zheng did not prepare all the equipment, he only planned to equip a team of five hundred people first, which is also the five brigades that usually train with wooden Mo Dao. Then there are 200 sword and shield soldiers and archers composed of 36 scouts. The armor created by Tang Zheng is still a little worse, and some of the armor issued by the county is not used by Tang Zheng for a while, although the armor issued by the county is not as good as the one created by Tang Zheng, but it is better than nothing.

One by one, people gathered, and weapons and armor began to be distributed. The total length of the Mo knife is 150 cm, the double-sided blade, the handle length is about 40 cm, the whole body is forged in stainless steel, and the handle is tied with a non-slip rope and the weight is 10 kg. Looking at the blade that reflects the cold light, you don't have to guess to know that it is a sharp weapon for killing. This is the first time that Modao has appeared on the stage of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it seems that it is a knife and not a sword, but a sword and not a sword. The armor Tang Zheng is also designed in the shape of layers of fish scales, the middle of the armor is high and the two sides are low, and the cow tendons and copper wires are twisted together and connected in series. The nail piece is designed in such a way that the impact of the arrow is mainly taken into account, and the design is high in the middle and low on the side to better reduce the damage of the arrow to the human body. Wearing armor and holding a Mo sword, the Mo knife soldier looked mighty. In order to build such a set of equipment, Tang Zheng invested 2,000 gold, not to mention the cost of craftsmen and raw materials, it can be said that this army was completely piled up with money.

I was busy until the evening to distribute the equipment, Tang Zheng didn't go back tonight and lived directly in the barracks, and tomorrow I asked someone to invite Han Dang to come over, and when Tang Zheng finished handling the chores, the barracks canteen was already closed, and there were regulations on the time to eat in the barracks, and if the time was exceeded, it would be outdated and not waiting, this rule was still customized by Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng didn't want to trouble others, so he made an egg fried rice in the kitchen of the canteen to fill his stomach and did something hastily. Speaking of which now that you can eat fried rice or stained with Cheng Pu's light, Tang Zheng was very unaccustomed to the diet of this era when he first came to this world, and when his health improved, he went to the blacksmith shop to hit an iron pot and opened fire in his small yard, once Cheng Pu came to find Tang Zheng and looked at the food that happened to be on the table, he had not seen it and tasted it, and he was shocked, and since then Cheng Pu has moved all Tang Zheng's cooking utensils and tableware to his family's big kitchen, and Tang Zheng has been eating with them since then. In this way, the stir-fry slowly spread in the village, and later spread more and more. Now it is estimated that the area around Rinyama Castle is stir-fried in an iron pot, unlike in the past, except for boiling and stewing. After eating, Tang Zheng walked around the barracks, and now the barracks are becoming more and more like that, with sentry posts everywhere either bright or dark.

The next day, Tang Zheng also participated in the daily five-kilometer cross-country run, and he suddenly couldn't keep up after not exercising for a while. The morning training started with Modao, and Tang Zheng also trained with the team. When Han came over, Tang Zheng and the others were practicing swinging knives and slashing. Han Dang's eyes lit up next to him, such an army can become a strong army as long as it is pulled out for a few actual battles, not to mention weapons and armor, even the physical fitness of the soldiers is much stronger than the average, not to mention weapons and armor. Just by looking at the cold light reflected by the weapon, you can know that it is a good knife, and the armor is not far behind, so that the layers of armor are densely packed like fish scales. If the army has 5,000 people, Han Dang dares to guarantee that there will be no more than 10 times as many people as many as he will not want to be defeated. Tang Zheng didn't rush to say hello when he saw Han Dang coming, but waited for a set of sword techniques to be practiced before coming out. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to keep Brother Han waiting for a long time, it's just that there are rules in the army that are not allowed to be out of the army during training." Tang Zheng explained to Han Dang. "This is natural, there are no rules, let alone in the army." Han Dang didn't care either. "Brother Han, junior brother first let the soldiers train with armor for half a month, let them get familiar with it first, after all, they used to be unarmoured, and the weapons were also wooden, what do you think." Tang Zheng asked Han Dang. "This is natural, if you are not familiar with your own weapons, you will rush into battle, which will be more harmful, I see if Brother Tang's blade is prepared to deal with cavalry." "Brother Han Gao saw that this kind of weapon was originally used to deal with cavalry, as long as the queue was neat and the Mo knife was wielded in unison, no matter how many people and horses in front of him, they would be torn apart. It's just that this class has a big flaw. "If I'm not mistaken, your Modao battalion should be heavy armor, if so, then you will lack maneuver when chasing the enemy." Han Dang looked at Tang Zheng.

"I can't hide anything from Brother Han, yes, it's because of this that I'm ready to let Brother Han train a cavalry, the Modao battalion is advancing head-on, the cavalry guards both sides, and once the enemy is defeated, the cavalry can also take advantage of the situation to cover up." Tang Zheng also told the combat methods of the Modao battalion and the cavalry. "Wonderful, in this way, as long as the archers suppress the enemy's brigade and reinforce the enemy on the front, they will be fish and meat on the sticky board to be slaughtered. Brother Tang actually knew so much about the way of the battle array. "Brother Han has won the award, and the younger brother will only talk on paper. By the way, during this half a month, the younger brother also wanted to ask Brother Han to train a group of scouts for the younger brother, and there were not many people, there were only 36 people, they were all hunters who used to ride and shoot. I don't know what Brother Han thinks. Tang Zheng bowed to Han Dang. Since Brother Tang doesn't dislike being a brother's crude martial arts, I'll help Brother Tang train and see. "Han Dang also returned the gift." Then I'll leave everything to Brother Han, I'll go and call someone, please wait a moment for Brother Han. After saying that, Tang Zheng ran to gather his scout team. After handing over the person to Han Dang, Tang Zheng didn't care how he trained, and Tang Zheng also went back to start team training. Half a month passed quickly, and the soldiers were also used to wearing heavy armor and holding Mo knives. After half a month of training in Han Dang, 36 Riders had a hint of scout flavor. Tomorrow we will send troops to suppress bandits, and everyone is also a little nervous in their hearts, and how they will train during this period depends on the results of the bandits.
