Chapter 164: Training, Gunpowder
Because of the sudden outbreak of the war, the people in the entire Liangzhou are panicked, coupled with the locust plague some time ago, under the successive disasters, no one has mentioned this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
Even in Sujiazhuang, everyone is engaged in the intense construction of the construction site. With the addition of Zhao Wan'er, Zhang Wanqing's burden has been reduced a lot.
Originally, she was in charge of all the logistics, but after all, she was taking over for the first time, and she lacked experience, and she couldn't do it well in many places, so she had to be busy until late every night before going to bed.
Zhao Wan'er is different, she has followed her father Zhao Chengwen since she was a child, and she has a wide range of knowledge. In addition, he personally took over many industries later, and he was even more experienced in personnel management, and many things that were very complicated in Zhang Wanqing's eyes were handed over to Zhao Wan'er, which was much simpler in an instant.
After entering August, although the disaster continued, fortunately there was no heavy rain, and the weather was sunny every day, which provided a lot of convenience for the construction site of Sujiazhuang. There was no heavy rain to delay the construction, which made Su Ziheng breathe a sigh of relief.
In just three or five days, Su Ziheng mobilized nearly 500 people from Su Mansion, plus more than 500 homeless people hired, a total of more than 1,000 people were put into intense construction. The first work to be completed was the excavation of the trench and the erection of the manor's walls and turrets.
Now wait for the cement calcination in the workshop to come out, and then apply a layer of cement to the fence in order to make it strong and strong.
……
……
In the open space outside the workshop, Shi Meng was leading the hundred newly recruited nurses to practice. Because of the urgency of time, a lot of physical and tactical training is too late, so you can only do selective and targeted training.
Su Ziheng asked for three points: the first is to obey orders, no matter what orders are issued by superiors, they must obey unconditionally; The second is to strengthen ideological construction, which is, to put it bluntly, brainwashing; The third is to practice marksmanship, there is only one move at the moment, straight stab!
The training guards obeyed the order unconditionally, because they were afraid that when they faced the enemy, they would turn around and run before the battle began. In that case, even if Su Ziheng had more ways to defeat the enemy, no one would implement it.
Therefore, first of all, they must be trained to be obedient, and anyone who does not obey the instructions will be given ten lashes. Shi Meng's martial arts are strong, and he naturally knows how to beat people with a whip very painfully, and they will not hurt his body.
After a few days of training, all the guards have formed a conditioned reflex, as long as Shi Meng or Su Ziheng gives the order, they will do it immediately, even if there is a puddle in front of them.
Of course, the kind of order that obviously sent them to death, Su Ziheng and Shi Meng would not be so stupid. All the orders they gave were within the acceptable limits of the group of nurses.
After all, the training time of this group of people recruited is still short, and they have not cultivated feelings, so they cannot make them sacrifice voluntarily.
As long as Su Ziheng dared to take up arms and would not be afraid to flee in the face of the enemy. As for whether you dare to fight with the enemy, whether you dare to kill someone? He wasn't worried at all.
If you really want to fight, Su Ziheng has many ways to ensure that he leads them to victory. As long as they win the enemy, even if they are carrying a flock of sheep, Su Ziheng can confidently turn them into lions.
Brainwashing is also very simple. Now I don't have so much time to give them ideological and political lessons, so I just need to give them memories of bittersweet memories. When the three meals are served every day, you must say three times aloud, "Thank you for the grace of the master". Anyone who doesn't say it, and whoever is in charge of the spoon will not be given food.
In fact, Su Ziheng is engaging in a personality cult, he knows that the personality cult is not good, but in this special period, he can only use this trick to make those nurses more obedient and easier to command.
As for why they were trained to use spears, and only practiced the "straight piercing" move. That's because for the time being, Su Ziheng only needs them to defend, not to attack.
Once the manor walls were built, they simply stood at the battlements of the wall and stabbed the enemies who dared to attack them to death with spears.
Moreover, after practicing a move repeatedly and forming an instinctive reaction of the body, even if they lose their minds in the face of the enemy, they only need to hear someone commanding and shouting "stab", and they will naturally stab the spear out of their hand.
If you practice too many tricks, you have to think about which trick is better, and for recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time, they are afraid of being at a loss and not knowing how to do it. In this case, it is much better to have no choice than to have one.
In order to make the group of nursing homes more actively involved in training, Su Ziheng also carried out a reward and punishment system.
The top 10 with the best performance in various exercises every day will add a chicken leg to each meal; Add one egg per meal between ten and twenty; Twenty to fifty people are guaranteed to have a full meal at every meal.
In the same way, after 50 and between 90, the amount of food will be reduced by 20%, and the amount of training will be increased by 20% compared with others; The bottom ten can only eat half full, and at the same time, the amount of training will increase by 30%, and they will have to endure the punishment of ten lashes.
If you are in the bottom 10 for five times in a row, you will be kicked out of the nursing home team, and then you will be recruited from Zhuangzi to come in.
I have to say that this last point is the most exciting part of the nursing home. They have all experienced the good days of having enough food and often being able to eat meat, so how can they be willing to be kicked out?
So when they train every day, they are practicing with their lives. Even when they rest at night, there are many nurses who secretly practice "straight stabbing", even if the spear is handed in, they will not relax the practice when they go up the mountain to cut a bamboo and cut it into a fake gun.
Their performance made Su Ziheng very pleased, in order to prevent them from having even less physical fitness when they were practicing, Su Ziheng instructed the chef to add enough locust powder to the dough when cooking.
Pandora was also asked to use the many medicinal materials brought into the base space from the outside world to prepare a body-strengthening medicine. After only a few days of taking it, the nurses have seen a significant change in size, looking stronger and more energetic than before.
Su Ziheng found a lot of nitrate cooked cowhide from Zhao Wan'er's warehouse, and asked Cai'er to hand it over to those Mengyuan people in the base space to make leather armor, so that it could provide some protection for those guards at that time.
……
……
Su Ziheng was in the workshop, studying the method of making black powder copied from the encyclopedia, when he suddenly heard Liu Sijun running in from outside to report, "Master, there are two Taoists outside asking to see." ”
Su Ziheng didn't raise his head, and replied: "No, there is something for the housekeeper to deal with, didn't I see that the master was busy." ”
Don't look at Sujiazhuang, there are thirty or forty craftsmen, but none of them have studied gunpowder. Even if Su Ziheng pulled all of them over to study, it would have no effect at all, and it would not be as helpful as Yang Lun to himself.
At least Yang Lun was literate, and after Su Ziheng unified weights and measures in the White Deer Academy and workshop, Yang Lun was one of the few people who learned and used those measuring tools the fastest.
