Because of the premonition that there will be continuous war in Liangshan in the future, Wang Lun has been patrolling all over Liangshan in the past few days.

Li Zhu accompanied Wang Lun out of the first pass not far to the Broken Golden Pavilion, and met the tall and thin Du Qian commanding his auxiliary soldiers to transport earth and stone, and the widening of the main road up the mountain and the reinforcement and repair of the three passes were all the work of the auxiliary soldiers.

This workload is a bit large for three hundred auxiliaries, who do heavy work and look enviously at the infantry standing on the side, hoping that one day they will become regular soldiers.

Wang Lun said a few words to Du Qian, telling him not to use people too harshly, just do the work slowly, pay attention to nutritious food, etc., Du Qian agreed one by one.

Seeing the surrounding auxiliaries looking over, Wang Lun said loudly to the surrounding auxiliaries: "Liangshan will conduct an assessment of all soldiers once a month, and those who fail to pass the regular soldiers will be retired to the auxiliary capital, and those who work hard in the auxiliary soldiers and perform well can be transferred to the regular soldier team." Such an assessment system existed at the beginning of Liangshan's establishment, and now he is just revisiting the old things.

Hearing Wang Lun's words, the work enthusiasm of the auxiliary soldiers suddenly rose. When the soldiers next to him heard this, they also had a sense of crisis in their hearts, and their expressions Wang Lun looked at them, and this was what he wanted.

After going down the mountain road, I saw from a distance that there were two people and horses training on the school ground, and Wang Jin's one was practicing martial arts in formation. After Wang Jin demonstrated a few moves, he shuttled through the ranks with his knife to supervise, stopping from time to time to correct.

Zhang Jiaotou on the other side was in the training queue, walking in the queue, familiar with various orders, but it could be seen that this training was very difficult, the formation was scattered, and the angry Zhang Jiaotou couldn't help scolding. Then the order came down, and the brigade was divided into units to train in Shiwu.

Most of the people in Liangshan are children of peasant families, and there are very few who are familiar with orders and know the left and right arrangements.

Wang Lun looked at Old Sect Leader Zhang anxiously, and felt a little sympathy for him in his heart. Cohort training for people of this era is a disaster for instructors. He has suffered this kind of hardship for a long time, and he knows the difficulty very well, but he also knows the value of queue training.

Wang Lun and Li Zhu watched the meeting on the side, did not disturb the training of the two, and walked to the back mountain. The main road below the mountain was at the water's edge, and when I turned a reed, my vision immediately widened, and I could see that there were three fleets of boats chasing on the lake in the distance, each with about ten small boats and three or four large boats.

The three fleets were all fast, only to hear the sharp and piercing bamboo whistle blowing three times, and the close formation of the fleets fleeing in front suddenly changed, and three small boats were divided from each side, attacking left and right, and outflanking the flanks and rear of the rear fleet.

The rear fleet did not make too big a move, but only rowed out two flanks a little away from the center to take precautions, and the whole team still pursued the main force of the front fleet, it seemed that they wanted to concentrate on annihilating the opponent's main force first, regardless of the harassment and attack of the enemy's flank.

"Good!" Wang Lun saw that the twenty or thirty boats of the three parties cooperated tacitly, dispersed and clutched very quickly, and the fight was very exciting, and the scene was very beautiful, so he couldn't help but cheer.

Sure enough, they are all people who are begging for a living on the water, and the ability of this boat and water war has been carved into their bones, and the Ruan brothers are the biggest reliance of the Liangshan Water Army.

After a long walk, passing a large field of reeds, there was no one to be seen here, only the sound of the breeze blowing through the reeds was heard, and on the right side of the road were big trees that covered the sky, and the leaves were almost gone, and on the left was an endless stretch of withered yellow reeds.

At this time, I saw a hundred and ten slippery men rushing out of the dense reeds, covered in black mud, holding a waist knife in their hands, all screaming like crazy, stepping on the mud and throwing themselves directly into the lake, and when they got to the water, they bit the knife in their mouths, and then they hit the water, swam across a section of the water, and then got into another reed, and disappeared.

Needless to say, this must be Ruan Xiaoqi's naval army and land battle. A group of clay figures roared past just now, and Wang Lun didn't recognize which one was Ruan Xiaoqi.

"I'm still naked in muddy water on such a cold day! Ruan Xiaoqi, is this a little too much? Don't train the soldiers, and the people are all bad! Li Zhu said with a frown.

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, let him go!" Wang Lun stood by the lake and watched for a while, then continued to move forward.

There is a wooden village built on a vacant lot at the foot of Liangshan Mountain in Jinshan Beach, which is simple and has thick timber piled up everywhere, and several wooden boats that have become prototypes are placed on the beach near the water.

Considering that in the future, both land and water will be advanced, Wang Lun came to the shipyard to visit again. Meng Kang, the director of the shipyard, followed Wang Lun with several stewards and explained on the side.

"This shipbuilding is generally divided into nine steps. The first step is to choose materials that are light, strong, and tough, so that the boat can be fast, light, and durable; The second step is to cut the material, the ship has a bow, a middle cabin and a stern, and the wood should be combined with the rows of three different parts according to the size to break the material. ”

"The third step is to break the board, draw a line according to the size with an ink fountain, and then cut the log into a plank; The fourth step is to divide the board, plane the broken board surface, and make a suitable board for forming; The fifth step is to nail the plate well, and then use the nails to form the ship, the bottom of the ship, and the bulkhead; The sixth step is to throw the ship, first connect the middle bilge plate with the front and rear bulkheads. Then use hemp rope, hoop, pull clamp, pan head, walking, pointed brake and other tools to tighten the bow and stern, connect with the front and rear, when the wave board, between the "climbing head nails", "flat head nails" to bite the wood, and with a variety of curium to strengthen the joint, so that it is unbreakable. ”

"The seventh step is to make marijuana and fill the ash, which is to seal the gaps in the hull with the mixed ash; The eighth step is called the oil tanker, and the body of the ship is oiled several times with tung oil, which means that it does not rot when exposed to water and is durable; The last step is to launch, and when the tung oil on the hull is dry, the ship can be launched. Step by step, it will take a month or two for a small boat, and several months for a large boat. ”

In the original book, Meng Kang is a marginal figure in Liangshan, although he is the director of the "Liangshan Shipyard", but in the eyes of a good man, technical talents are obviously not valued, except for a few leaders of the water village who came to him to extract the ship, only the old brother Deng Fei who drank Ma Chuan came to him for a drink when he remembered him.

As a traverser, Wang Lun has a lot of respect for Meng Kang, a technical expert, and the two have a close relationship under deliberate friendship. Others saw that Wang Lun valued Meng Kang, and they were humble to him.

Meng Kang has the "weird problem" that all technical experts have, and he likes to talk about shipbuilding with others, and he talks endlessly. Wang Lun has enough patience, and sometimes he will take out the knowledge about shipbuilding that he has seen on the Internet before to discuss with him, and Meng Kang has also benefited a lot from listening to it.

"Brother Meng, I can trust your craftsmanship, and in the future, I will not only have to fight in the inland river, but also have a navy. Brother Meng Kang needs to study the sea ship more! Wang Lun pondered for a while and encouraged Meng Kang.

As soon as Wang Lun said this, Meng Kang cried: "Brother of the owner of the village is not ignorant, my shipyard is lacking in professionals!" ”

Hearing Meng Kang's words, Wang Lun held his forehead with his hand. He had already promised to help Meng Kang recruit shipbuilding talents, but he had no clue. So he had to comfort: "Brother, wait a few days, I will find you a helper!" ”

Meng Kang wanted to say more, and Zhu Gui hurriedly came to find Wang Lun and Li Zhu. "Brother of the village owner, the head of the Lin Sect has returned to the mountain!"

Wang Lun looked back at Li Zhu and said, "Let's go!" A few brothers went with me to greet them! ”
