A few days later, Zhao Can and others finally made the first batch of wooden shields, although the number was not much, but Wang Zezhi was very happy.

This shield is half a person high, is bread painted, the edge is wrapped with iron sheet, the shield bread is made of leather, painted with tiger head pattern, it looks quite mighty.

Wang Zezhi had the heart to test it, and asked Ah Niu to go up with a knife and slash.

He originally thought that this kind of wooden shield could be split with a single sword, but the result greatly surprised Wang Zezhi.

Aside from leaving some knife marks on the shield, the wooden shield did not appear to crumble and disintegrate.

This wooden shield turned out to be extremely strong.

Wang Zezhi was very happy, and immediately rewarded each of them with a tael of silver.

Because they were too few of them, the number of wooden shields they could make was limited, so Wang Zezhi wanted to spend money to let them bring apprentices.

How do you know that the faces of these people changed, and they didn't want to say anything.

Wang Zezhi knew that it was impossible for them to pass on this craft, so he could only sigh and urge them to increase their shipments, as long as they made enough wooden shields, he would give them a reward.

Several people said yes again and again, and they were more motivated.

With the wooden shield settled, Wang Zezhi wanted to check how Li Hua had trained the more than 2,000 people brought by Wang Er.

Wang Zezhi came to the martial arts arena that had already tamped the ground and gathered these people.

It turned out that the bandits, after Li Hua's ideological education and queue drills, have changed from the past and have taken on a new look.

Wang Zezhi stood on a high place and looked, all of these people stood straight and energetic.

Wang Zezhi is very satisfied with this, after Li Hua's brainwashing, coupled with strict training, these people finally have the appearance of sergeants.

Now Wang Zezhi began to distribute them.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the generals under Wang Zezhi who lead the troops are, Qi Qi, Li San, Ma Fu and others.

Wang Zezhi divided these people into multiple teams, led by these people, of course, he also specially assigned a team to Xiong Jiachang, but because Xiong Jiachang was seriously injured and had not recovered, these people were temporarily under his control.

As for Wang Er, he became the commander of the light pole, and he had no real power except for the title of company commander.

Mainly because Wang Zezhi doesn't trust him, the bandits are more or less banditry, if he still has soldiers in his hands, Wang Zezhi is afraid that he will rebel, after all, it is not uncommon for these people to rebel in the late Ming Dynasty.

Qi Qi and the others had more soldiers in their hands, and they were all smiling.

After everyone stood up, Wang Zezhi began to speak.

"Shaanxi has been dry for a long time without rain, the grass and trees are scorched, the land is thousands of miles away, and hunger is everywhere.

I know that your rebellion is a last resort.

Now you have come to me, and I have enough to eat, and I will pay you.

We eat and drink well, and we don't have to hide in Tibet, it's much better than you used to.

Therefore, I hope that you will give up the previous idea of robbing homes and houses, and honestly follow Ben Jiang to make achievements, and Ben will believe that you will have a bright future in the future. ”

Wang Zezhi looked at them very seriously, and all of them raised their heads and stood straight.

After speaking, Wang Zezhi motioned for Li Hua to start practicing.

"Stand upright, take a break, start walking... Turn left and right... Turn back... Arrays, shields... Thorns..."

Because a lot of Yuanpang was originally seized from Wenju people, Wang Zezhi used Yuanpang to form a halberd shield soldier of 200 people.

As for why the halberd is used, it is because Wen Juren only has halberds in his arsenal, and there are no iron guns, otherwise Wang Zezhi will definitely form a spear and shield soldier.

Chubby and round, wooden, breaded with leather to protect against arrows, spears and swords, light and tough, the only drawback is that it is too small, not large enough to protect the chest or head. 18

This is also the reason why Wang Zezhi must ask someone to make a shield, he wants to make a big shield, so that more places can be protected, and the casualties of the sergeants will be greatly reduced.

Wang Zezhi was quite satisfied with watching Li Hua practice these people, to say that this Li Hua is really a talent.

He is not only unique in brainwashing and ideological education, but also in training.

It can be seen from the fact that he was able to train more than 2,000 people in such a short period of time, and it can be seen that Li Hua is a person with great ability to train troops.

The people and military households who were originally doing things, listening to the loud slogans and the sound of neat steps, couldn't help but put down the work in their hands and ran to the martial arts arena to watch.

It's okay not to look at it, but this time these guys are even more energetic, shouting slogans louder.

"One, two, three, four... One, two, one..."

Wang Zezhi looked at the energetic and majestic crowd, and he was even more satisfied.

After reviewing these sergeants, Wang Zezhi ordered to go down.

Some of them stayed in the camp to make some fortifications with earthen sacks, and Xiao Liuzi and Yu Zhong's subordinates immediately went out to find out the news.

The thieves led by Chongguang Dao have been wreaking havoc in Yuxian and Pingding Prefecture recently, robbing many people and merchants, and he is worried that these people will suddenly come to the camp when they go crazy.

Most of the sergeants continued to go out to suppress the bandits, although he said that he had seized the money and food of Wenju and Loach, but now that he had more people in his hands, the consumption of money and food was also increasing day by day, and he was worried that this money and food would not be able to carry it by this time next year.

However, the suppression of bandits is a quick way to get money and food, one can collect money and grain, and the other can ensure the safety of one party and open up all passages.

After arranging the affairs of the sergeants, Wang Zezhi came to the iron room and asked if they could separate one person to start building the Lu Mi Gong.

"Lu Mi Gong weighs eight catties, is seven feet long, four dollars for medicine, three dollars for lead bullet, 50 pounds of refined iron for a handful, and five dollars for frying steel."

Zhao Can took the "Artifact Spectrum" in his hand, looked at Lu Miquan's introduction with blazing eyes, and read it out with full of energy.

"I mean, can you build it?" Wang Zezhi asked.

Zhao Can glared at Wang Zezhi angrily and said loudly: "With this book, we can't make it, so we will spit out all the money and food we took from you and return it to you." ”

Wang Zezhi was dumbfounded, he just asked casually, he didn't expect this Zhao Can to be so excited.

"Ahem, don't get excited, don't get excited, I just want to ask, how long will it take for you to build it."

"Fifteen days, not ten days, ten days is enough, you just need to give me enough materials, and there is a change of bellows, this bellows is not good." Zhao Can pointed to the bellows in the ironcraft room and said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, change it right away."

There is no good bellows in the general county, only in Pingding Prefecture, Wang Zezhi listened to Zhao Can's words, and without saying a word, he sent people to Pingding Prefecture to purchase new bellows.

That night, the iron room installed a new bellows, and after Zhao Can tried it, he greatly appreciated it, and the bellows over there were good ones for the iron industry in Pingdingzhou.

Wang Zezhi felt that this Zhao Craftsman was a person who liked to talk big, so it was not enough to rely on his words alone.

He specially set up a note for him, if he could build Lu Mi Gong within ten days, Wang Zezhi would reward each of them with ten taels of silver, and if not, they would roll up and leave.

Of course, Wang Zezhi is not really willing to let them go, it is just a formal constraint.

He was afraid that these people would cheat and cheat.

Zhao Can snorted coldly, signed unhappily, and began to build Lu Mi Gong that night.

Wang Zezhi looked at the camp that was gradually taking shape, the newly trained military households, and the shields built by the craftsmen, and his heart was full of emotion.

Just when he was happy, Shan Tongshan came to tell him a bad thing.

I don't know if it's the reason for the rampant use of these people in the Light Dao, the price of grain in the entire Taiyuan Mansion has begun to rise recently, and it is about to be ten taels and one stones.

Although Wang Zezhi has a lot of grain in his hands, he is still a little worried, in case the food rises too much, the silver in his hand may not be able to withstand consumption.

Although he was a guerrilla general, he spent money to buy this military position, and the court would not pay him food, and when the time came for him to run out of money, where would he get food.
