Fu Guo Zhongfu, the master of the tricycle and bicycle next to him, looked at Yang Xuan with a longing face, nodded his head, and said again and again: "My lord, you came at the right time today, the tricycle you asked us to build that day has been completed, and the bicycle is being built." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since two months ago, the adults drew the drawings and asked the villain to explain one part by one, and let the villain take thirty masters to ponder.

During this period, the adults came to discuss with the craftsmen from time to time, regardless of the busy war, and now it has finally been created. ”

Yang Xuan was overjoyed in his heart and said with a smile: "I, what do people say about civil and military all-rounders, and I like to be whimsical the most, and I like to stay with you craftsmen the most."

Let's go, look at the things of you skilled craftsmen, if you can make them, I will guarantee that you will be rich by then. ”

Guo Zhongfu didn't dare to do it, but he thanked the adults for the reward again and again, and the contradictory mood can be imagined.

led everyone to the courtyard of the craftsman's shop, and saw this wooden tricycle about 2 meters long and 3 feet high from a distance, with a steel wheel about 2 and a half feet high in front and a wheel about 3 feet high in the back.

The steel wheels are tightened by wire spokes to taut the rim as the wheel, which is then supported by one or two thin steel wires. On the outside of the wheels, a layer of cowhide is wrapped to cushion the shock. (Without rubber, it cannot be made into rubber wheels)

The riding saddle is also wrapped in cowhide, and the spring is pressed underneath to dampen the vibration. At the back is a square basket with springs underneath to dampen shocks.

The rider sits on the front mat and pedals to drive the axle handle sprocket to rotate, and the sprocket drives the concentric gear with the rear wheel to rotate, thereby driving the tricycle.

Braking is achieved by quickly landing on your toes or, as in previous lives, by pinching the steering handle to increase friction on the rear wheels.

Of course, this kind of tricycle is still quite primitive, it can be said that there are several generations of differences with the tricycle of the previous life, not only the skeleton is wood, but also the driving device and safety device are quite primitive.

Even if it is full of heavy loads, it is much more convenient to ride on a tricycle than to walk, and it is very easy to walk more than 100 miles a day on the official road.

In addition, this tricycle can also hold more than 300 pounds of things (currently the tricycle can hold 600 pounds).

If a tricycle is used to supplement a team, each team eats 30 catties per day, and can also ensure ten days of food and grass.

In addition, the front and rear of the car can be quickly connected with iron chains to form a car formation to avoid the rapid entry of the opposing cavalry, and a tricycle can tow 1 knife cart or load a knife cart to increase the defensive intensity.

Yang Xuan rode on this kind of wooden tricycle, which made people constantly add food and weight to the back, easily and without much effort.

And everyone even said that they were surprised, everyone gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed again and again that it was amazing, in ancient times, Zhuge Kongming made wooden carts, cattle and horses, and now Yang Zixiu made self-propelled tricycles, all of which are great talents in the world.

Yang Xuan felt that his face was full of heat, and he beat him even again, pointing at Guo Zhongfu and saying: "The waterwheel can be stepped on with your feet, and the Flying Tiger Battleship can be stepped on with your feet, why do we still use livestock to pull and push with both hands, isn't it too laborious?"

I also had a whim that day, to see if I could do it, but I didn't expect Master Guo to really do it, to say never, Master Guo was really absolutely amazing, it was Lu Ban at that time. ”

Guo Zhongfu was shocked, and he didn't dare to be greedy for merit, claiming that if it wasn't for the guidance of the prefect, he wouldn't have been able to make it at all.

In the name of the government, he rewarded everyone with more than 100 taels of silver, appointed Guo Zhongfu as the general office, set up a vehicle bureau, and recruited craftsmen to manufacture tricycles.

Cao Zhang sent more than 100 people to the vehicle bureau to practice tricycle riding skills.

At first, Yang Xuan also went to the vehicle bureau from time to time, one to solve the supply of wood and steel bars, and then to guide vehicle manufacturing.

Because it belongs to the crossing family, of course, I know the essentials of modern factory management, that is, the professional division of labor (now informatization, through mechanical operation, emphasizing the reduction of action waste, of course, it is different), and more than 300 workers are divided into wheel workshops, basket workshops, pulley workshops, and assembly workshops for professional division of labor manufacturing.

After a month of preparation, mass production began in December, and the production also soared from 2-3 units a day to 5-6 units, exceeding 150 units per month.

In order to encourage everyone's enthusiasm, the government purchased each car at a price of 10 taels of silver.

As in other manufacturing bureaus, more than 10% of the profits from the regular salaries are paid to the merchants.

At first, everyone rode very slowly, and they were not used to it, and some people complained that three wheels were not as stable as four, and if it was four wheels, it would not deviate.

But seeing Yang Xuan riding on the ground, after being comfortable, everyone was quite envious, after teaching them by hand, everyone mastered this skill, riding this wooden tricycle is not only much more convenient and easy than walking, but also can drag more than 300 pounds of heavy objects, with 3 men, everyone is amazed.

The tricycle was successfully developed, although it is gratifying, but the shadow of Zhang Xianzhong's death still lingers, if the memory is good, in the next year (AD 1646) Zhang Xianzhong died in the north of Xichong, and before Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, it is very likely to lead the troops to attack Shunqing Mansion.

How to defend the city of Shunqing, how to block the invasion of the Barbarian Qing Tartars pressed on Yang Xuan's heart like a boulder, although he has not yet come up with a countermeasure, but expanding the armament war and increasing the armament is an inevitable choice.

How to establish a military system, this can be very nerve-wracking. The most authoritative way is to follow the "Zhou Li? Xia Guan? Preparation of the Preface:

Five people are in a team, and Wu Chang is in charge;

Five Wu is two, and two Sima are unified;

Four or two for the pawn, with the pawn long rule,

At the beginning of the death there were subordinate officials, and there were one hundred and four people;

The five soldiers are brigades, and there are brigade commanders, and the first brigade has five hundred and twenty-five people;

The fifth brigade is a division, with a division commander, and the first division has a total of 2,630 people;

The five divisions were set up, with a total of 15,156 troops.

That is, in ancient times, the military establishment included the upper-level establishment of armies, divisions, and brigades. (Some people have verified that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom carried out the military establishment completely according to this kind of establishment)

In addition, in addition to research, I am excited that the establishment of each period is completely different, just like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Sui and Tang dynasties had such an organization.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, there was such an establishment as a regiment, with 100 people as a team, 20 infantry teams as a regiment, and 10 cavalry teams as a regiment.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were 300 soldiers per regiment.

In the Ming Dynasty, the system of guards was implemented, such as 100 households, 1,000 households, and guards.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang was training the Qi family's army, and passed through small flags, general flags, bureaus, divisions, departments, and battalions.

In the past, the Loyal and Righteous Army did not completely imitate the military system of the Illuminated Dynasty and was organized into battalions, brigades, squadrons, and squads, but now it can completely follow the Sui and Tang dynasties, establishing regiments above the battalions and regiments above the battalions.

Taking into account the application of tricycles, a modern logistical baggage support system has been established, and it is planned to readjust the establishment of existing squads, squadrons, brigades, and battalions, and to build an army in accordance with the modern military system.

The tricycle has been successfully trial-produced, and like the cars of its predecessors, it can increase the mobility of the troops.

It is planned that in the future, each brigade will have four tricycles and six bicycles (unicycles), and in order to adapt to this change, it will be necessary to set up a cooking squad under each brigade, so that each brigade can bring its own military rations for more than 10 days. (Soldiers bring their own food for 5 days, plus tricycles and bicycles to carry food).

Due to the introduction of tricycles, the size of the brigade also changed, after which the number of squads was 11 and the squadron was 34.

In addition to three squadrons (34 people*3 people), a cooking squad (9 people, under the command of the secretary), and a brigade headquarters (1 team leader, 1 secretary general, 1 trumpeter, and 5 flag bearers), a total of 116 people.

Equip 4 tricycles (one for each squadron and one for the cooking team), 10 unicycle bikes (6 owned by the squad and 4 owned by the cooking team)

The battalion includes four infantry brigades, battalion headquarters (battalion commander, assistant, 3 staff officers, 1 langzhong, 6 people), 1 escort squad (10 people), 1 cavalry squad (8 people), 1 tiger squat artillery squad of 12 people (4 guns), a total of 500 people.

In the future, each regiment consisted of three infantry battalions (500 x 3), a baggage battalion (300 men), a Fran cannon brigade, a cavalry brigade, and regimental headquarters (70 men), totaling two thousand people.

Among them, there are 70 people in the regimental headquarters, including:

There are 1 regiment commander, 1 supervising army, 1 chief of staff, 1 medical officer, 6 staff officers, 4 Langzhong nurses, and 6 service officers, a total of 20 people.

1 escort squadron (30 people), gendarmerie squad (10 people), reconnaissance team (10 people)

Franc cannon brigade (in the past, each cart was composed of 20 people, carrying 2 Franc cannons), considering that there was no gun mount for Franc cannons in the past, aiming was difficult, after the improvement, Franc cannons were placed on the gun carriage, a 10-person artillery team, a total of 100 people in the whole brigade, including 10 large Franc cannons.

Cavalry brigade 30 people.

1 baggage battalion, including 3 baggage squadrons and 1 escort brigade, each baggage squadron has 60 people, including 40 tricycles.

During the march, when the baggage squadrons transported grain and grass, the escort brigade provided security and helped transport it in dangerous places.

Three baggage squadrons with a total of 120 tricycles can guarantee a full regiment for 10 days. ）

After the expansion, it has a total of 10 infantry regiments, 1 cavalry regiment, and 1 naval battalion.

Among them, the 1st Battalion of Cao Zhang's Guards was expanded into a guard regiment

Fan Mingshan's 1st Battalion was expanded into the 1st Regiment

Chen Yingzong's 2nd Battalion was expanded into the 2nd Regiment

Guo Chonglie's 3rd Battalion was expanded into the 3rd Regiment

The 4th Battalion of Yao Zhijiao was expanded into the 4th Regiment

Yang Bingyi's 5th Battalion was expanded into the 5th Regiment

Liu Weiming's 6th Battalion was expanded into the 6th Regiment

Feng Youqing's 7th Battalion was expanded into the 7th Regiment

Pengzhou counties and Nanchong local security regiments were expanded into the 8th regiment, led by Wang Shuji

The Guang'an Prefecture and Dazhou Local Security Corps were expanded into the 9th Regiment, led by Ma Mingluan.

Originally, the size of each battalion was mostly about 4 or 5 brigades, but this expansion will be carried out in an orderly and gradual process, and it is planned that the expansion process will be completed in one year.

According to the strength of each regiment, it is generally divided into a regiment, a regiment B, and a regiment.

Among them, the A regiment is the regiment that has completed the expansion task.

The B regiment consisted of a regimental headquarters, two and a half infantry battalions, and half a baggage battalion, with about 1,600 men.

The C regiment consisted of a regimental headquarters and two infantry battalions, with about 1,200 men.

At present, except for the guard regiment and Chen Yingzong's 2nd regiment, which has reached the establishment of a type C regiment, the other regiments are basically a reinforced battalion, and their strength needs to be gradually expanded.

It is planned to gradually expand the number of units and complete the expansion of the troops next year.
