After only 20 days of training, no matter how well the instructors taught, these recruits couldn't help but look better and be more powerful.

After all, those who are soldiers have never seen blood on the battlefield, and before they have been trained, even if they practice well in private, they are just rhetorical showmen.

Therefore, the training results of these 300 recruits are really nothing to look forward to for Zhang Shihua, who is used to seeing big scenes.

However, out of attention and encouragement to the instructors and recruits, Zhang Shihua still gave them quite high praise after reading it with a smile. made these recruits can't help but give birth to a kind of touching of the death of a confidant.

"Good, you're doing a great job. I am very optimistic about you, continue to work hard, he will make contributions on the battlefield every day, and I will also ensure your fame and wealth. Zhang Shihua smiled and couldn't help but reassure.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, the three hundred recruits couldn't help but shout with excitement on their faces: "We will not let the lord down!" ”

"Yes, that's good." Zhang Shihua nodded. Then he gave instructions to the three instructors, signaled them to continue training, and then prepared to leave surrounded by everyone.

"Erniu, you've done a good job in this new barracks, keep it up for me. After all, after the expansion of the army, there will be a lot of seats for the deputy households. ”

"Yes, my lord. We will do our best to never let you down! And hearing that Zhang Shihua intended to promote him to deputy Wanhu, even a simple person like Li Erniu couldn't help but become enthusiastic.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and couldn't help but say: "That is the case, then I will see your performance." Okay, now I'm going to go to the other recruit camps, you don't have to follow, keep busy, I'm leaving. ”

"Yes, the last general will send the lord!" Li Erniu, who was full of excitement, roared, and couldn't help bending down deeply to Zhang Shihua, squeezing to the end, and watching him out of his first recruit camp.

It took a full day, and in this day, Zhang Shihua finally inspected the eight new barracks.

In the process of inspection, no major problems were found. All the recruit camps looked very good, the thousand households were very attentive, the instructors were also very responsible, and the morale of the recruits trained was also very high.

So when this day turned down, although he was very tired, Zhang Shihua himself was still happy from the bottom of his heart.

More than 20,000 recruits, like the black-clothed army, are his biggest capital in the future to conquer the world. Seeing them so positive and energetic, how could Zhang Shihua, the lord, be unhappy.

However, after inspecting a circle, when Zhang Shihua was about to return to the city, Chang Xiqiao, who had been holding back the doubts in his heart for a day, finally couldn't help but ask Zhang Shihua: "Lord, after following you around for a day, I found that these eight recruit camps are all being trained according to the training methods you gave them. ”

"But the ones you taught stood upright, stood in a military posture or something. I haven't seen it in any of the military books. Did you invent it all yourself? ”

"Haha, that's right. This is indeed what I came up with, and I used to be an inspector for a period of time in order to get rid of thieves for the villagers. I also came up with these things at that time and put them into practice. Anyway, no one in this era can expose his lies, so Zhang Shihua smiled, and he didn't blush and put all the credit on his head.

"Oh, I see." Chang Xiqiao looked suddenly enlightened, but his face looked indescribably weird.

"Hehe, I see. Xiqiao, do you think that my training method is not very useful in actual combat? Looking at Chang Xiqiao's strange face, Zhang Shihua smiled and couldn't help but say.

"No, the subordinates don't dare. The subordinates just couldn't figure out what effect this standing still had on military training. can actually train to be a rare elite in the world like our black-clothed army. Chang Xiqiao explained, but it was a little darker and darker.

Seeing Chang Xiqiao like this, Zhang Shihua smiled, he was in a good mood, but he couldn't help but explain to Chang Xiqiao and the rest of the generals who were also puzzled: "Standing in a military posture is not just as simple as standing still. ”

"Standing in a military posture, it can be said that it is the mother of all military actions. It not only effectively exercises the physique of the recruits through strict action requirements. It also exercises people's spirit and a person's spirit. As you all know, the air flow in the human body is divided into three streams. One is above the dantian, one is under the dantian, and one is contained in the dantian. After standing in a military posture for a long time, you can take into account the best coordination of the qi in your body and every muscle and bone in your body, and perfectly stretch your qi and strength, forming the greatest synergy. ”

"Make a man, from the grass, to the strength of the loose."

And more importantly, standing in a military posture can also give people a strong psychological restraint and psychological cues. The masculinity and majesty cultivated in the military posture can transform a farmer into a disciplined soldier as quickly as possible. ”

"So in my opinion, this military posture is actually the foundation of military training. Just like laying the foundation before building a house, it is not visible on the surface, but in essence it is the most important thing. I say that, do you understand? ”

"The lord is thoughtful, which really makes his subordinates ashamed. When the lord was on patrol and was still a crown, he was able to come up with such a far-reaching method of military training, which can be described as a genius from heaven! Hearing Zhang Shihua's explanation, Chang Xiqiao, who admired Zhang Shihua deeply, couldn't help but pat Zhang Shihua's ass.

And Zhang Shihua smiled slightly at this, and then he shamelessly accepted it.

"Alright, it's not too early, let's go back to the city. By the way, I remembered one more thing. Xiqiao, you are in charge of logistics, so let me ask you, have the ironworks and armor forging factories built by the Hanshui River been built? Riding on the war horse, just about to leave, after suddenly remembering this incident, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but turn to Chang Xiqiao and asked.

And Chang Xiqiao heard Zhang Shihua's words, and after reacting, he replied with a bow: "Back to the lord, the ironworks and armor forging factories have been built with the help of the chief officer Tuntian and the captive Geng Taogeng. Moreover, Yang Xitong Yang Dajiang and Shen Shi Shen Dajiang also accepted it, and in a few days, these two places will be able to be put into production. ”

"Yes, that's good. I wanted to go and see it, but when I got busy, I forgot about it. Forget it, since it's almost completely completed, let's go back in a few days. Zhang Shihua said to himself, and then at a nod, he couldn't help but ride this war horse and returned to the general's mansion surrounded by all the guards.

……

Today is the end of July, and by this time, Guo Weier is almost four months pregnant. The lower abdomen, which was originally very flat, now looks like it is also on a large scale.

And after three months of pregnancy, according to the doctor's words, Zhang Shihua can finally do something embarrassing with his wife.

However, I don't know if Guo Weier is trying to fix her pet or what, a month ago, she asked her husband Zhang Shihua to accept her companion girl Xiaohong as a concubine.

So even when Guo Weier couldn't have sex because she was pregnant, under the intimate service of Xiaohong and Yang Meier, the two beautiful concubines, Zhang Shihua's life was still quite happy.

Well, although he did this, Zhang Shihua felt a little sorry for his pregnant wife. But men, you know, say no, but the body is still very honest. Although Zhang Shihua himself is a person with lofty aspirations, he is not a lower-body animal with the upper brain of the sperm. It's not the kind of perverted neurosis who has to have a relationship with someone when you see a beautiful woman.

But in terms of biological nature, Zhang Shihua is still a man.

The fraternity shortcomings that men are born with are naturally impossible for him to without.

But everything is just like what I said earlier, the woman Zhang Shihua loves has always been Guo Weier, his childhood sweetheart. Even though Yang Meier's woman is the most beautiful woman he has seen over the years, Zhang Shihua still wants more than Yang Meier.

So these days, in most cases, Zhang Shihua only went back to Yang Meier or Xiaohong to spend the night when he was in physical need.

And for the rest of the nearly half of the time, Zhang Shihua also spent the night in his wife's room.

Because only when holding Guo Weier's delicate body and asking Guo Weier's body fragrance like an orchid and musk deer, can you sleep peacefully and steadily without a dream.

Of course, after the wife is already able to have sex, when she holds her delicate body at night and caresses the two huge jade rabbits and the mysterious peach blossom source with her unruly big hands, what should happen between men and women is naturally unavoidable.

This is just like Confucius said, "chromophobia".

……

A few more days passed, and in the golden autumn and August, the harvest season finally came again.

So whenever this time comes, it is often the busiest period for Zhang Shihua's subordinates. After all, the importance of these grains in this year cannot be overstated.

Therefore, starting from the sixth day of the eighth month, Lin Ziqian and Lou Xiaohe, who were appointed to official positions by Zhang Shihua, also assisted Zhou Jiu, who was appointed by Zhang Shihua as the prefect of Xiangyang, and was busy with the upcoming agricultural work without touching the ground.

However, at this time, Zhang Shihua took his personal guards and soldiers to the large ironworks and armor forging factories established in the northwest of Xiangyang City and on the south bank of the Han River.

I have to say that Hanshui is indeed much more powerful than those small rivers and rivers in Nanyang Mansion. The productivity of the ironworks and armor forges built in Xiangyang is more than three times higher than that of the ironworks and armor forges in Nanyangfu.

Therefore, after the establishment of the factory in Xiangyang, the raw materials such as rough-processed iron ore and coal from Wuyang and Pingdingshan also began to be transported to Xiangyang through convenient waterways.

And the ironworks and armor forging factories in Xiangyang, with the hard work of those Yuanmeng labor prisoners and senior skilled workers captured by Zhang Shihua, are also producing a steady stream of brand-new armor.

"Haha, lord, please look here. Since you suggested to us to produce armor in an assembly line way, the production efficiency of our armor has nearly doubled. Now, under your guidance, our armor forging factory, which has nearly a thousand workers, can produce an average of one hundred and three pairs of armor in a day as long as the raw materials are sufficient. In that large armor forging factory, the master craftsman Shen Shi couldn't help but be on the side of the assembly line, and introduced it to Zhang Shihua who came to visit with an excited face.

Hearing his introduction, Zhang Shihua took a look at the large factory that was in full swing and the indoor temperature was as high as more than 30 degrees. I couldn't help but smile at it: "Then according to what you say, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, in a month, you can also produce three thousand pairs of plate armor." ”

"That's right, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, there is absolutely no problem in producing 3,000 pairs of plate armor a month. After all, this Han water is different from those small rivers and rivers, even in the dry season, with the water power of Han water, driving those forging machines, it is the same as playing. Shen Shi said this with his chest on his face, full of confidence.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Shihua nodded silently, and couldn't help but turn to a middle-aged man behind him and ask, "Wang Zhuang, you were transferred from the Nanyang mining area half a month ago. So let me ask you, with the mining intensity in the mining area, can the production here be guaranteed? ”

"If you go back to the master, I think that as long as there are no accidents, it should not be a problem to ensure production here. After all, the number of prisoners in the two mining areas has reached 10,000. ”

"So there should be no problem in ensuring production here."

"Yes, that's good. In that case, with the addition of the forge in Nanyang Mansion, we can also produce 4,000 pairs of plate armor in a month. And in this way, it only takes one year, and plate armor can be popularized in the whole army. ”

"Ha, good, good." Zhang Shihua was a little excited and muttered to himself.

And after chattering like this, Zhang Shihua looked at Wang Zhuang behind him, and couldn't help but look at him in an extremely serious tone and said: "Remember, this plate armor is the magic weapon for our army to defeat the Tartars, and it is the foundation of our army." Therefore, the personnel entering and leaving this place must go through strict scrutiny, and they must not put in an irrelevant person. ”

"As for the drawings of the forging machine, Master Shen Stonemason, the drawings are only known to eight people, including you and Master Yang. So you must keep this secret well, and if this drawing spreads, let the Tartars know about it. I think you should know the consequences! ”

"Yes, the villain understands. The villain swore that he would be a mouthless bottle, stick to the drawings, and never let outsiders know. Seeing Zhang Shihua like this, Shen Shi wiped his sweat and couldn't help but promise Zhang Shihua like this.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua nodded silently, and then didn't say anything more.
