PS: Thank you for your good tip!

When Zhang Shilang was taken to watch the training of the Liangshan Army on the side of the road, Lin Chong had already hurried to the meeting hall of Wanzi City, and summoned all the staff officers and divisions and the instructors of all the armies to come to the meeting together. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After taking the information that Du Bai got from Zhang Shilang, Lin Chong cleared his throat and said: "This is the situation, the Western Army is now gathering heavy troops to form a three-sided encirclement of Xingqing Mansion, and is currently consolidating its position.

In my estimation, after the New Year, the Western Army will use troops against the Western thieves, once the soldiers come to the city of Xingqing Mansion or successfully surround it, the two sides will fall into an endless battle to the death, and no one will easily retreat half a step!

So at that time, even if we let the imperial court know that I, Lin Chong, will recruit troops in Liangshanbo, Jingdong, as long as we don't do too much and don't occupy the prefectures and counties, presumably the imperial court will not transfer the western army to recruit us! ”

General Lu stroked his palms and echoed: "In addition to the Western Army in the Song Army, what are we afraid of other forbidden troops? ”

Lu Zhishen also said loudly: "Prisoners, so we don't have to hide on this island all the time......

"Taoguang is obscure." Gao Yu said with a smile.

"Yes, we don't have to hide on this island all the time, we should make a big deal!

But junior brother, next time there will be a fight, but we must let the heavy axe camp go out to fight! The last time I hit Zhujiazhuang, I didn't take our turn, junior brother, you don't know what the soldiers of other battalions say about us? ”

How could Lin Chong not know? In the whole army, the back cavalry and heavy axe soldiers have the best food and the highest treatment.

Although the Liangshan army was not short of money and food, and after he came back, there was no shortage of meat, but it was impossible for these soldiers to let go of their stomachs and eat good wine and food every day.

What is it necessary to maintain a moderate hunger pang, otherwise how can there be motivation to work hard?

Therefore, the average soldier can eat about four taels to five taels of meat every day, but there are exceptions, that is, the heavy armored cavalry and the heavy axe soldiers under Lu Zhishen are guaranteed at least one pound of meat every day.

The soldiers in the other battalions sometimes said sour things, saying that the cavalry of the Beiwei Army ate well, that was the best skill of the people, and they were the best horsemen in the whole army;

Moreover, the cavalry has a great role, these heavy cavalry of the back army have to wear a heavy armor every day to practice marching and charging, once on the battlefield, a battalion can completely fight three or four battalions or even more of the enemy's cavalry.

However, these heavy axemen are only tall and powerful, and they only wear heavy armor every day, lifting heavy objects and running around to consume strength.

Then after the end, I have to soak in a medicinal bath to boil my muscles and bones, and when I eat, I eat the amount of several people for one person, and the salary is very high, and the total cost is more than that of the heavy cavalry of the Beiwei Army.

Many people privately discussed that they only hated their father and mother for not giving themselves such a tall and strong physique, otherwise it would be a blessing to be such a soldier.

Lin Chong thought about it and felt that although it was not easy to train these soldiers, and they were his own killer weapon, they were easily reluctant to use them, but it was really not good to always pressure them from going into battle, after all, it was actual combat that could make people grow the most.

At that moment, Lin Chong exchanged glances with General Lu, Wen Huanzhang and others, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, next time there is a battle, I will definitely let you go into battle."

It's just that at present, the Liangshan Army is still mainly engaged in military training, and for the sake of insurance, it is better to be exposed later or later, and this big deal will be at least two or three months later! ”

Lu Zhishen won the opportunity to go into battle, and a big fat face immediately burst into laughter, and the joyful look caused the others to laugh too.

Lin Chong continued: "There is also the Liao State side, according to Zhang Shilang, now the ministers of the entire Liao State are suspicious and accusing each other, and the monarchs and ministers are separated from each other, and many people have different hearts and want to flee.

In addition, the Jurchens are aggressive, and I am afraid that in two or three years, or even shorter, the Liao State will be destroyed by the Jurchens, and there is not much time left for us, so we must pay close attention to all our work.

Also, I am going to openly play the banner of acting for the heavens in two or three months, recruit talents, recruit heroes from all over the world, and create the Song Dynasty together! ”

Everyone nodded incessantly when they heard this, and heard Lu Zhishen clapping his hands and saying, "That's how it should be!" We have never been lazy in the training of the whole army, but we have not had to fight, and our bones are very uncomfortable! ”

Lin Chong said angrily: "My senior brother, you are impatient, as long as we play the banner, the court is not a fool, how can I not know that I am in Liangshan, and when the time comes, I will continue to send a large army to suppress it, are you afraid that there will be no zhang to fight?" ”

General Lu also said: "When the time comes, but if the strong enemy can't attack, I will send your battalion of people to attack the formation, if you can't break the formation, where will you put your old face?" ”

Lu Zhishen smiled: "When the time comes, you will see how my heavy axe soldiers break the enemy!" ”

A group of people laughed, and at this moment, they heard a rush of footsteps outside, but it was Lin Chong's own soldiers who led Ye Meng in, and his face was also full of joy that could not be hidden.

"Military master, we have developed and tested the kind of high-carbon steel you mentioned, and we have used the steel clamping method you said to create more than a dozen knives, and the effect is very good!"

"yes, that's great, everyone is here, let's go check it out."

The group soon came to a heavily guarded area in Wanzi City, and when they entered the workshop where the ordnance supervisor was striking iron, they felt a hot air rushing to their faces, and the sound of clanging was non-stop.

Lu Zhishen, Du Yan, and Ruan Xiaoer came for the first time, and they were immediately stunned by the two heavy hammers that took off and landed automatically on the two big anvils in the middle of the workshop.

"Straight thief, Master Ye, I'm afraid you don't have a few hundred catties of this sledgehammer, right? Why do you still hammer yourself? ”

Hearing Lu Zhishen ask, Ye Meng couldn't help but glance at Lin Chong, and said with admiration: "This is called an animal-powered falling hammer, and it was all designed by the military master."

Where can you pick a hammer, do you see, this is called a big forging hammer, and there is a rope attached to the forging hammer, and the rope is connected to the mechanism next door.

Master Lu can go next door to look, and you can see that there are several mules pulling the mechanism in circles. ”

Lu Zhishen now doesn't like others to call him Master Lu anymore, but this time he didn't care, and took Ruan Xiaoer to the next room to see it with great interest.

Sure enough, there were eight mules pulling two winches in circles.

Under the explanation of a craftsman, the two observed for a long time, and then found that after the horizontal winch rotated, a vertical winch was driven to rotate through the gear, and there was a movable hook on the winch, and when the winch turned to a specific position, the hook hooked the ring tied with a rope.

The winch then continues to rotate, and the rope hooked by the hook is driven to the next room by a set of pulleys, and the hammer at the other end of the rope is raised.

After the winch rotates half a circle, a mechanism on the hook just touches the debugged touch lever, the hook automatically retracts, and the ring is unhooked, so the forging hammer falls down heavily, forging the anvil below, and completing an iron beating process.

After that, the vertical winch continued to rotate, and the hook extended again under the action of gravity, and at this time the ring also returned to its original position; At this time, the winch continues to rotate, hooks the ring again, drives the rope to lift the forging hammer again, automatically unhooks again, the forging hammer falls again, and the anvil below is forged for the second time, and so on, and so on.

"Straight lady thief, this is designed by the junior brother?"

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

The two of them were stunned, Da Song actually had a lot of more ingenious machinery at this time, such as water mills, water mills, water wheels, etc., but the two had never seen such ingenious machinery.

For a while, the admiration and worship of Lin Chong was like a surging river.
