By the end of March of the lunar calendar, the infrastructure construction work of Zhenbeibao has come to an end, and the work of dividing the fields has been completed, and then the fields have been leveled, and the work of cultivating the soil is almost done, and the wheat seedlings in the greenhouse can be transplanted to the fields as long as the weather warms up.

By this time, the people's hearts had been stabilized, and the next thing Liu Renyu had to focus on was naturally military construction and the operation of various institutions.

No matter how good the economy is, without the support of military force, it is just a castle in the air.

Historically, in the second year of Chongzhen, Houjin entered the Kou, Yansui, Gansu, Guyuan Qinwang's soldiers were defeated, the soldiers and the Liukou were combined, and the momentum of the Liukou was greatly boosted.

In the second year of Chongzhen, in addition to dealing with the old enemy Mongols, he may have to go to Beijing Qinwang, and then he has to deal with the invasion of the Liukou, the situation is very serious, and the time is very short, Liu Renyu thinks that there is not much time left for himself, and he must immediately start the construction of the army, as well as the construction of various institutions.

On April 1 of the second year of Chongzhen, as soon as it was dark, Liu Renyu summoned the old generals of the pier to a meeting to discuss the military construction of Zhenbei Fort.

In Liu Renyu's imagination, the miners' banner in charge of Li Jiye is the engineer in the future Zhenbei Army, and the miners' banner is still digging tunnels and wells, and he is very busy.

"Jiye, your miner banner is still under construction, which in itself is a kind of training, telling them to work hard, and the salary will definitely not be short of them."

"Yes."

"Desheng, Ergou, Tie Niu, I said that I would recruit 108 soldiers among the displaced people, these people I plan to divide them into 3 flags, you are divided into three flags, each flag is three teams, each team is responsible for electing the captain and vice captain, the conditions for selecting people, the body is healthy, and the mind can not be too confused, after all, the army is a place where hills and hills are gathered, and they are too weak to serve the public."

Speaking of this, Liu Renyu took out three booklets from his hands and handed them to the three of them.

"This is an infantry drill manual, and the training methods are all written on it, you have been learning from Tianjun for so long, you should know all these words."

"Recognize, recognize." When it comes to reading and literacy, these three don't dare to say that they know everything, but they can't say that they don't know everything, so they answered.

"Well, well, you can pick up the soldiers of your own banner later. After the selection is completed, they will be trained according to the method of the infantry drill code, and you will see who has a high level of understanding and good training, as long as they are well trained, they can be selected as officers, and after the officers are selected, they will enter night schools to study in the future, and then enter military academies to study. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, my lord, the humiliation has been written." The three of them responded.

"Renjie."

"In,"

"You go to the fort and choose people who are of the same grade as you, and are lively and active, pay attention, you must be those who are lively and active, and are called "big worms", pick up 12 at most, don't pick them if they can't pick them evenly, and they would rather be lacking than excessive, understand? ”

"Yes, Renjie understands."

"I have picked out all the people, I will personally train you, you and I will be of great use."

"Yes, Renjie understands."

"Well, Blacksmith Zhao,"

"Forehead in Nirvana,"

"The army's needs, the casting of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and the production of armor will still bother you."

"My lord, I'm really in a panic, I can't take your salary for nothing."

"Well, okay, let's go and get busy according to the assigned tasks."

"Yes," the group agreed, and dispersed.

After everyone received the task, Yang Desheng, He Ergou, and Zhang Tieniu each recruited 36 soldiers, and in accordance with the requirements of the infantry drill code, like the People's Liberation Army in later generations, advanced recruit training for three months.

The training items are military posture, queue formation, then forward walking, push-ups, pull-ups, weight running, obstacle course, and swimming.

After these trainings, the above training still has to be carried out, but it is relegated to the second place, and the soldiers have to start to practice the main project of killing the enemy.

When Liu Renyu took Yang Desheng and others to train in the front, he tossed them quite miserably, and when they became officers themselves, they began to turn over as serfs and sing, and fix those recruits. Son.

Among the three, Yang Desheng was the most severe in training and the most severely punished, and the soldiers in his banner were particularly serious in training, for fear of being punished if they made mistakes. Relatively speaking, Zhang Tieniu and He Ergou have a degree of relaxation, and their management of the army is not bad.

In this way, the sergeants under Yang Desheng's banner all cried bitterly, only hating God for being blind, and letting them stand up to Yang Desheng as a master. Perhaps because Yang Desheng led the troops too strictly, the soldiers in private became Yang Desheng as the king of Yang Yan.

In fact, these soldiers didn't understand that the reason why Yang Desheng worked so hard was related to the military assessment system set by Liu Renyu.

Three months later, the whole army was assessed, Yang Desheng and other three banners, the first army assessment, won the first prize 3 members, the second prize 6 members, the third prize 9 members, the amount of silver rewards above the military salary, with the medal of outstanding personnel in mobile training, food and vegetables, and meat. This is rewarded for practicing well, and being punished for not practicing well, that is to say, the last 3 in each flag, hungry on the day of the assessment, and punished by physical training.

Yang Desheng and other three flags, but also between the flags between the training subject assessment, the first place in the three flags awarded the mobile outstanding team flag, the flag of all officers and soldiers can eat meat on the same day, the second place will not be rewarded, nor punished, the third place is hungry, subject to physical training punishment.

Yang Desheng has always regarded himself very highly, how can he tolerate losing to He Ergou and Zhang Tieniu, it is because of the extraordinary hard work of his training, so his soldiers can only consider themselves unlucky.

In this way, the daily price on the school field of Zhenbei Fort was the trumpet of the sergeants and the shouts of the officers.

The sergeants of Zhenbei Fort are training hard, and Liu Renyu is not idle, he is training those active teenagers that Liu Renjie found.

These teenagers found by Liu Renjie are all active, and they are all hated by the family and the neighbors, but these people have an advantage, that is, they are smart, because they can do all kinds of sabotage, generally speaking, fools are slow people who are sluggish and dull-eyed, and most of the smart people are active.

With such a group of people, Liu Renyu plans to train them in the aspect of agents, and the name of this organization, it is better to obtain a little concealment, it is called the Zhenbeibao News Investigation Bureau.

Liu Renyu's training is logically very strict, but these bear children are used to being wild on weekdays, and these harsh training is actually regarded as enjoyment.

After all, the world view of the bear child is different from ordinary people, what kind of camouflage Liu Renyu used to spy on intelligence, the iron hook climbed over the wall and was admitted to the hospital, as well as sand table making, military mapping and other projects, which made these people very fascinated.

In this way, they can happily accept Liu Renyu's training, and as for grappling and fighting, they are also full of interest.

It didn't take much effort, these people climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, entered the house, and spied on intelligence, and they were already very good at it, Liu Renyu was very satisfied with this, and he asked Liu Renjie to take everyone to train, and then he went to inspect the construction of Zhenbei Fort.

Liu Renyu had been busy transplanting wheat seedlings in the field, and when he saw that there was no problem with the farming in the field, he inspected the tunnels again, and then presided over several "emergency evacuation drills in case of the enemy" with Ma Tianjun and others. ”

This drill is such a drill, if the enemy attacks, the outer sentinels use the horns to send a warning, and the people in the field have fled into the tunnels to hide. After practicing like this a few times, the people are already very proficient in entering the tunnels to avoid danger, and they are naturally quite relieved when they work in the fields.

In addition to working in the fields, the people also have to raise pigs, chickens, and fish when they return home, and Liu Renyu in order to generate income and realize self-sufficiency in meat, sent people to order chicken seedlings, piglets, and fish fry, and distributed them to each family for breeding, saying that the seedlings are given away for free, so that they can be raised for free, and they are raised to the end with the government, but if they are not well raised, not only can they not share the meat, but they also have to pay the government's money.

How can the people not be happy about the pie that fell from the sky, everyone gave the pigs, chickens, and fish distributed by the government as their ancestors, and Liu Renyu taught the people to use pig manure and chicken feces to raise fish, and the fish pond mud to fertilize the fields, and everyone did the same.

After Liu Renyu inspected the farming affairs, he saw that there was no problem with the things in the fields, and then he went to Ma Tianjun to ask how the civil affairs were.

Ma Tianjun said that the north fort of Zhenbei is not big, and it is still in a state of high-pressure management, the people are determined, the fort is in order, and it is not time to collect taxes, so he is not very busy here.

The military and civil affairs are already on the right track, and Liu Renyu is no longer too worried, but in addition, he is very concerned about one thing, which is the research and development of four-wheeled carriages.

As early as when Liu Renyu first arrived in Zhenbeibao, he selected carpenters, blacksmiths, and masons from among the displaced people, and handed them over to Zhao Datie, and then he handed over the secret recipe for making glass and carriages to these craftsmen according to the information displayed in the travel novel on his mobile phone when he crossed over, and told them to make suitable four-wheeled carriages.

After months of hard work, Zhao Da Tie came to report that the four-wheeled carriage and glass had been developed.

When Renyu heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately went to the carriage factory to observe.

"Rack, rack." A handlebar-like four-wheeled carriage called Lao Sun Tou carried Liu Renyu on the dirt road of the factory, and clouds of dust flew on the dirt road.

Because the dirt road is not very flat, and the seat of the carriage is a hardwood plank, Liu Renyu was staggered in the carriage, and his butt hurt, but he was still very happy, after all, if the carriage can be mass-produced, it can achieve good sales within the territory of Daming.

Those gentry and wealthy families who regard money as dung, princes and nobles must like to buy it, but with the current appearance of birds, they will definitely not let those local tyrants pay for silver, because it is uncomfortable and too ugly.

The carriage was unpainted, the color of the logs, with iron nails everywhere, and there was no decoration in the carriage, just a bare wooden stool, and the suspension was on the hard side, with little shock filtering.

In order to make the carriage one of the fist products of Zhenbei Fort, Liu Renyu said to Zeng Xiangbai, the leader of the carpenters: "Carpenter Zeng, let me give you a suggestion, we can add a shock spring to our carriage to make it more comfortable." ”

Zeng Xiangbai heard the word spring, and was puzzled, so he asked: "Please forgive the general adult, the little old man doesn't know what a spring is?" ”

"The spring, it's a zigzag iron ring," Liu Renyu said, taking a wooden teng from his hand, winding it a few times, and showing it to Zeng Xiangbai.

"Little Lao'er probably knows, but this needs to be made by a blacksmith."

"I know, I'll tell you first, you leave a place on this linkage shaft, and then you can install it. Do you understand? ”

"Xiao Lao'er understood, and Xiao Lao'er then improved."

"Well, okay, it's hard work, Blacksmith Zhao."

"Huh."

"This iron ring called spring, please have someone to make it, not much, it will take 8 to make it."

"The old man has never made such an object before, but he can give it a try."

"If it's done, give it to Carpenter Zeng to load it on the carriage."

"Okay, don't worry, remember."

"By the way, Blacksmith Zhao, I asked you to inquire if there is a blacksmith who can make firearms, did you ask?"

"I asked, but I haven't done it for a long time, and I don't know if the craft is still there, so I didn't tell you."

"Hey, Blacksmith Zhao, whether he still does it or not, you always have to talk back to me."

"This, hehe, but it's wrong, I don't want to live with you, you wait a while, I'll call him." After speaking, Zhao Datie may be embarrassed, he is dozens of years old, and he actually ran into the blacksmith workshop to find someone at a trot.

After a while, Zhao Datie led a dazed middle-aged man to Liu Renyu, and when Zhao Datie came to Liu Renyu, he first calmed his breath, and then said: "My lord, this is the craftsman I told you about who made firecrackers before. ”
