As the head of Li Shigu's hand-picked family, Li Mao has a privilege: he has the right to look for assistants throughout the army, as long as the unit of the person he likes must be unconditionally released. After Li Mao humbly consulted Li Zhenke, Yang Yuanyin and other veterans, he made a list that was not too long and submitted it to Li Shigu, and the selected people were all recognized in the army as good at training. This list could have been longer, Li Mao restrained his greed, he couldn't chew it out if he was greedy, and there were more than thousands of horses, and if he was tied to a trough, there would be infighting. I don't want to have everything, I just want everything to be good and useful.

In Ziqing, the school specializing in training officers is still a new thing, even if it is known that it is Li Shigu's proposition, it still encounters widespread doubts, some people say that strong soldiers and fierce generals can be won by a knife and a gun on the battlefield, how can they be taught by Mr. like a scholar? There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, that is, they follow the strong generals and are tempered into steel, sitting in the stormy Huatang beautiful building and trying to train strong soldiers and fierce generals, dreaming.

There are also different opinions, and some people cite the story of the children of the family who hired famous teachers to learn art from an early age, and when they grew up, they rose to prominence and stood out in the field, to prove that a good education is very helpful in becoming talents, and it is very necessary to set up an officer training center.

Opponents disdain this argument, the children of the family have been learning from famous teachers since childhood, and the achievements that can be achieved after more than ten years of hard work, can the officer training center catch up with it in a mere year or two? Fighting a war depends on enlightenment, what you want is understanding, and what good results can be taught by the half-baked teachers in the training center for a year and a half.

Whether it was laughing, scolding, honoring, or slandering, Li Mao's Wutang Officer Training Center still hung up a sign as scheduled. As soon as the list of directors of the Wutang Officer Training Institute was announced, everyone was taken aback, Li Shigu was personally appointed as the chief instructor of the Military Training Institute in Ziqing Pinglu, and Li Zhenke, the marching Sima (who had been promoted to deputy envoy at the time), and Yang Yuanyin, the envoy of the Duzhi soldiers and horses, were the deputy chief instructors.

Gao Mu served as the left judge of the officer training center, responsible for the supply of all people, money, and materials, and the specific affairs were handled by Li Mao, from planning teaching objectives, formulating teaching standards, selecting and hiring professors, compiling teaching plans, and organizing teaching, assessing and examining, and even eating, drinking, and sleeping for students.

Li Mao is naturally incompetent to do many things alone, and with the support of Li Shigu, he privately funded a huge team of think tanks to handle the details. Li Mao did not have the slightest experience in teaching and management in modern schools, and he knew nothing about military teaching, and he would inevitably become a laughing stock if he took things for granted, and these days he visited many veterans who were good at training soldiers in the army, humbly listened to their opinions, read at night, and gnawed on military books. (Baidu search to the literature network is the fastest and most stable update)

But even so, he still felt that he had no bottom in his heart, seeing that Li Mao was anxious and tired, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, Su Qing persuaded: "You don't need ready-made talents under your nose, but you have to be anxious for yourself, why bother?" ”

Li Mao said: "Don't talk nonsense, military training is such a big thing, not a joke. ”

Su Qing was unconvinced: "How can I talk nonsense, Chang Mucang is a talent." What is Mr. Zheng's knowledge, he said that Mr. Chang is a person who really understands soldiers, and his knowledge is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Mr. Chang. ”

Li Mao put down the military book, rubbed his swollen eyes, and said: "Mr. Zheng is a learned person, I don't deny this, but his knowledge has not been tested on the battlefield, oh, barely counted, but after all, the bandit suppression was a small battle, commanding hundreds of people and commanding thousands of troops and horses is not the same concept, and also, when we suppress bandits, we are soldiers, and we are dealing with crops like Zhu Jiu, can it be the same?" Chang Mucang, Zhu Jiu also said that he had the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, but I didn't find out. He is well-read, extremely intelligent and willing to delve into some strange things, but when it comes to military training, he has no experience and has never heard of any high-level theories about him. By the way, what has he been doing all these days? ”

Su Qing held her belly and sat down with great effort against Li Mao, she was only four months pregnant, and she was not pregnant, she was so cautious that she was a little fussy. Li Mao's mood was irritable, and seeing her like this, he was even more annoyed. However, he still knelt down affectionately and put his ear on his wife's flat lower abdomen to listen, Su Qing was very satisfied with her husband's intimacy, she caressed her husband's "bald head" lovingly, and her eyes were full of love.

"He's fiddling with that repeating machine crossbow, saying that if he can succeed, he can fire five crossbow arrows in a row, it's automatically fired, and there is no need to pull the string in the middle, you say it's ridiculous, there is such a thing in the world?"

Xiao Ru, who was wiping the table on the side, suddenly interjected.

Su Qing glanced at her, and defended Chang Mucang: "I have seen that crossbow, it can be fired three times in a row, I think it is not impossible as long as you transform five consecutive rounds with your heart, although I don't know how to fight your battle, but I think that others can send one arrow, we can send five arrows, in the end, we have the upper hand, this thing must be made." He was so busy day and night that he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, but unfortunately there was no skilled craftsman around him, and those whimsical ideas could only be drawn on paper. ”

Xiaoru ate Su Qing's eyes, a little unconvinced, because Li Mao failed to fulfill the promise to help her as a concubine, she always felt a little indebted, she was thicker than before, and because Su Qing was pregnant and inconvenient to disturb, these days she has exclusive sex, this woman is full of ambition for a while, she is a little unaware of the height of the sky, and at this moment she actually said: "I don't believe it, people say to pull the bow and release the arrow, how to release the arrow if you don't pull the bow?" It can be seen that it is useless. ”

Su Qing said: "Nonsense, that three-shot crossbow, isn't it just pulling the string and releasing the arrows by itself, as long as you pull the trigger, the arrows will go into the groove and shoot out." People rely on institutions, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. ”

Su Qing rarely had the patience to fight with Xiaoru, and Li Mao was full of interest.

Xiao Ru saw that Su Qing was in a good mood and became more courageous, and said in a loud voice: "I don't know much about what an organ is, I only know, that thing is said to be able to fire continuously, but it is always broken, how can such a thing be used, the enemy is coming, pull the trigger, click, the arrow is stuck, so you can't wait for death?" ”

Su Qing said: "It's a joke, if you send an arrow, you will be stuck, then dare to take it to the battlefield, the mechanism is dead, the person is alive, as long as you think about it, there is always a way to solve it, besides, 10,000 people take the repeating crossbow to the battlefield, is it difficult to get all stuck, yours is stuck, mine is not stuck, shoot the enemy the same, you must know that our crossbow can fire five arrows in a row, 10,000 people can fire five arrows in a row, and 10,000 people can shoot five arrows in a row, even if it is stuck in half, it is 25,000 rounds, and the enemy still killed is not left with a piece of armor." ”

Xiaoru: "......"

Li Mao listened to the two bickering with interest, but his thoughts flew out of the window. The repeating machine crossbow that Chang Mucang fiddled with was given to him by Qingmo, Qingmo was half-deceived and half-bought from a team leader, and the team leader was killed in battle under Ye Shuodu Nanzhuang, so the clue was broken, and Li Mao still doesn't know where it came from. On the same day, he got this machine crossbow that can fire three crossbow arrows in a row, Li Mao regarded it as an artifact, thinking that he could change the trajectory of his life after crossing with this invention, but the reality taught him a hard lesson, this "artifact" fell off the chain every critical moment, and he used it three times on the battlefield to break out in a cold sweat, and the last time he almost lost his life.

It was the battle of Ye Shuo crossing the river, because the artifact fell off the chain in time, Li Mao was hit by an arrow in his arm, and almost lost his life, and the "artifact" was also lost in his face. After the war, Li Mao remembered this chicken rib and sent Qingmo to find it, Qingmo took a lot of effort to pull it out of a blacksmith shop in Ye Shuodu Beizhuang, and it was sold to the blacksmith as scrap iron by the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield, and it was only one step away from entering the furnace. Although the things have been recovered, they are incomplete, the divinity is no longer there, and there are useless objects left in the world.

But after all, Li Mao has a vision beyond this era, in his eyes, the artifact is still "god", and the notoriety of dropping the chain at every critical moment has become its best cover, and it is quickly forgotten, idle in the warehouse of Li Mao's house to wait for the master.

In his spare time, Li Mao once disassembled the artifact and used the principles of reverse engineering to try to restore the missing parts. After several attempts, without success, the mechanical structure of this crossbow was complex and sophisticated, beyond the mechanical level of this era. Li Mao did not have the tools to fit his hands, nor did he know how to use the existing process to make suitable parts, and the repair plan was put on hold.

But this toss is not all fruitless, at least Li Mao figured out the basic mechanical principle of manufacturing the repeating machine crossbow, and found out the root cause of the artifact falling off the chain - not a major flaw in the design, the problem lies in the casting process, several key parts have been mutilated due to high strength of wear, and cannot meet the design requirements.

If it is changed to the later generations of industrial prosperity, this problem can be easily solved with high-strength steel and high-quality lubricating oil, but the reality is that there are no two things, which makes Li Mao judge that although this thing is good, it is destined to be difficult to become a big weapon due to premature birth, based on this judgment, the artifact gradually disappeared in Li Mao's field of vision.

When the machine crossbow fell into the hands of Chang Mucang, Li Mao didn't know at all. He didn't have much hope that Tsuneki Kura would be able to repair the crossbow, but he appreciated his spirit of study. Su Qing may be right, Chang Mucang is really a genius.

Xiaoru took advantage of Su Qing's happiness to fight with her for a while, and when she saw that Su Qing's face gradually turned cold, she closed her mouth with interest, and when she went out, she glanced at Li Mao, and her eyes were full of **.

Li Mao stood up, stretched, looked at Su Qing and smirked. Su Qing said: "Don't beat me up for my crooked ideas." ”

Li Mao smiled, hugged his wife, and walked out. He didn't go to Xiaoru's house, the preparations for the military academy were intense, and he really didn't have that thought.

Chang Mu Cang is serving as a steward in the medical school at the moment, Li Mao pursues the purpose of teachers governing the school, and the big and small matters of the medical school are decided by Ge Rixiu and his wife, Chang Mu Cang, the steward, actually can't manage anything, at best, he is a logistics director, with many responsibilities but no rights, but Chang Mu Cang doesn't care about these, he is conscientious and hardworking.

In his spare time he shut himself up in the house and fiddled with the crossbow, and his wife was accustomed to it, and as long as he provided the household on time, he was not the only one. Hearing that Li Mao was coming, Chang Mucang hurriedly greeted him, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant. Li Mao stood in the courtyard and exchanged words with him, and then went to visit his study, saying that the study is actually more suitable for a carpentry workshop, with knives, axes, saws, planers, and chisels.

The cross-generational premature artifact is now on the table of Tokikura, proudly like a god. Li Mao just glanced at it, and Chang Mucang knew the purpose of his trip, and smiled awkwardly: "I don't know how to make iron, and I want to use carpentry to restore it, but I don't know how to do it, and I can't achieve the effect every time." ”

It was obviously too difficult to make those delicate parts out of wood, and Tsunekikura's method was to enlarge the entire crossbow in proportion, and he had already completed a considerable part of the work, but it was obviously too far from success. (Dissertation College)
