In this era, the mature hydraulic machinery seems to have reached a certain limit, with larger and larger runners and thicker transmission mechanisms, and the demand for rivers and water sources is getting higher and higher, not to mention the supporting floor space.

The various water wheels scattered over the large and small rivers have become an indispensable scenery in the land ruled by the Southern Dynasties.

It doesn't matter if it is a civilian production, but as a military production with higher intensity, it has some insufficient development potential and stamina. The workshop owners had to pay more to dam the river, use the dikes to create more water level differences, and then cause a series of problems in agricultural irrigation and domestic water.

Therefore, it is particularly important to have a steam engine that is more adaptable to the environment, even if it is a less cost-effective original version.

Well, although it is still far from the three-acid and two-alkali part-time work system, it has at least proved that this direction can be developed, and then it will slowly accumulate by relying on investment and time.

The reason why I handed over Shen Yue, a former master craftsman and his supporting personnel, to the mysterious creature is very simple, she has raw materials and manpower, as well as the corresponding industrial accumulation, as a silver family that started with opening a silver mine, the most important thing to lack now is the machinery for the production and smelting of various mines, as well as the craftsmen accumulated by the times.

As long as I am responsible for always keeping an eye on the progress and providing the following directions, I can save energy and time for other aspects, such as arming and building, political and economic pursuits, and so on.

In the words of comparing the second dimension, some things in my hands belong to the political and military bonuses, and in her hands, they will become bonuses in R&D and production. This is a division of labor that comes naturally.

After explaining the matter, I drove and went to the training ground by the river again, which had been expanded to include the original barnyard, orchard and a small hill. In order to take down the surrounding land, it took a lot of effort, this is because there is really no decent output in this place, even if it is firewood and hunting, it is a bit more than worth the loss.

The orchard trees surrounded by the shade of the trees already have a little fruit, all of which are peaches, nai, plums and other green fruits, and gradually they are specially cut down and leveled out a large open space, which has become a special training ground

The crackling sound like popping beans is heard all day long. Bursts of gray smoke, blown away by the sea breeze that swept through the treetops, shrouded the field again and again.

Since the Meishan Hotel, I have also received a letter of permission in a certain sense to continue to train these "baggage guards" subordinate to the rear army in private venues, preventing them from being "prosperous and their martial arts are wasted".

Since the Meishan Hotel, I have at least a hundred people with rich experience in occupying the area, and other veterans who have been eliminated through brutal battles, so after a short period of repair, let them drag three or one to four mode, and pass on the new people who have been added.

The focus is on the strengthening and expansion of the guncorps, as a traverser, so you may not yearn for the romance of the roar of guns. What's more, long soldiers, armor and crossbows have always been the objects of control of successive regimes, and the number of balls that can be held with the help of the system is always limited, but these guns with uneven power still belong to a blank field that is not very valued.

After the Meishan offensive and defensive battle, Tong Guò collected the spoils of war, plus privately negotiated with the officers and soldiers who came to the rescue, and obtained more than 700 intact firearms of different types with a price of dots and rags, as well as a large number of other second-hand weapons that were "recycled".

Others are used for the daily training of the expanded gun team, and the rear-loading guns have not yet been mass-produced, and these slightly modified front-loading guns are undoubtedly an excessive choice of good quality and low price.

Like other infantry teams, the gun team also adopts the practice of group competition assessment, and those who are excellent will be added to the main formation of the gun team, and those who are not qualified can only be used as auxiliaries carrying ammunition and covering with blades in close quarters.

Don't skimp on the loss of gunpowder, projectiles and guns to improve the proficiency and queue cooperation, of course, you can be selected for the guns, more or less have received some hand-to-hand combat training, but they just lack actual combat experience.

In the words of Chief Instructor Xi Han Liangchen, as long as they can stand in front of the battle and face the enemy, can still hold the blade in their hands, and swallow spit, they can be regarded as qualified soldiers of the general standard of this era.

After all, the long-term chaotic times have been repeated, although there is no shortage of prestigious and well-known fighting teams, but more often than not, there are a large number of cannon fodder and waves of turquoise. The elite will always be only a minority that is surrounded and mastered

However, it still gives me a reason to put in the limited resources and equipment, and make a hodgepodge of different things.

The only standard equipment is a gray and green tight-fitting cloth with a uniform uniform, which is mainly convenient for identification and command, and can confirm the storage of the front and rear left and right comrades through the color of the uniform, and there is also a certain sense of psychological security and morale bonus for the soldiers in the formation and engagement. The cuffs and trouser legs are tightened and adjusted with straps to protect against mosquitoes and other foreign objects.

Because it is located in the warm and humid subtropical south, it only has leggings and cloth shoes, but the bottom is thickened and inlaid with iron, which is convenient for long walks and runs. Because of the small hill, similar endurance training can be done

Because the number of men was increased, and there was not enough armor, they were substituted with a leather holster, or an extra shield, which if necessary they could stand before them, and serve as some kind of temporary shield and fortification.

As a weapon for melee self-defense, since the spear spikes that can be mass-produced have not yet been made, each person had to bring a short soldier, mainly collected from the trophies, and was originally used for the sailors' springboard battles with thin-edged light sabers and thin scimitars.

The enemy they had to face was not the all-firearms troops that lined up to shoot in modern times, but the classical army with cold weapons as the mainstream. Therefore, a certain amount of auxiliaries are needed to cover both close and hand-to-hand combat. If necessary, a certain number of crossbowmen can also be mixed to cover for projectiles.

There were seven discontented hundred-man teams in front and back, plus more than 1,000 men composed of other archery teams, white soldiers and spearmen, and even if they stayed in place every month, they had to spend a lot of money on various daily drills and maintenance expenses.

Fortunately, they can be lined up with the Yuwen family's righteous servants in turns to line up to the combined ship group to serve as escorts and experience experience. Naturally, this money also has the Borneo Guild Hall, and a large part of it is justifiably apportioned.

As the first team of the teaching team itself, it was arranged to do some kind of riding training

Looking at the figure of most people still a little clumsy getting on and off their horses and riding and marching, they already have the demeanor of later dragoons, and in a certain way, they are a mobile emergency force modeled after riding and escorting.

For this reason, I even took advantage of the undulating terrain to create a simple mountain loop that was several miles long and winding, which was used to train the long-distance running endurance of the infantry and horse teams, or the explosive power of short-distance sprints. Then arrange another one from time to time, and randomly carry out ambushes and sneak attacks to exercise their confrontation and adaptability.

Of course, compared to the cavalry escort with relatively comprehensive tactics and skills, it can only be regarded as a simplified version of the mounted infantry, but some of the bones are served by veterans of the original cavalry escort, so it is not without the strength to fight if you really want to fight hard......

Of course, I'm a monkey version of the dragoons with a shrunken shrunk, and most of them are basically not much different from the guns on foot, except for the fact that they can march on horseback and assemble in a column under the designated battlefield, after all, even if they are a team of guns, there are two or three large animals carrying goods for every ten people.

But compared to the equipment is also simple because of the ugliness, and the guns that can make do with it, each person has a piece of armor to some extent, some people bring short spears, some people bring hand cards, and the others are all horizontal knives, at best, they can only be regarded as light horses.

Because of the limited source of horses obtained by the Southern Dynasties, coupled with the good horses in the north, the general water and soil adaptation and breed degradation in the south, so it took almost a lot of effort for the more than 100 people to buy the animals.

Among them, there are not only traditional sources, load-bearing and terrain of Qianzhong horse, Nanping horse (Yunnan horse) and Shu horse, but also the most common local breed, the so-called Lingnan horse, mainly a breed of multiple southern horse hybrids, endurance and weight-bearing explosion and other indicators are not outstanding, but they are particularly adapted to the water and soil in the south. I can't afford to load too much armor and equipment.

Although there are still some good horses from the north and big horses and resting horses of foreign descent in Guangfu, they are mainly scattered around the wealthy families to enjoy the gambling game and have a lot of value.

In contrast, the sources of other large animals, even if they are quite abundant and extensive, especially the genus of cattle and donkeys, have always been an important source of animal power transmission in those workshops, and they are everywhere......

It is enough to use the manpower of those who have been eliminated to form a logistics transportation brigade,

As for the establishment of artillery and grenadiers, it is impossible to think about it for the time being, on the one hand, there is a lack of sufficient sources of ammunition materials, and on the other hand, this is the object of key control by Guangfu and even Daliang.

Although I disassembled and copied a small batch, it was only at a critical time that I could take it out and use it, and I couldn't justifiably arrange it in it.

It's okay to privately hold forbidden weapons such as bows and crossbows, this is the common norm and small actions of all families outside the domain, and I still have a little bit of a heavy guard in the name of cover, but privately arranging these heavy weapons to attack the city is equivalent to telling my subordinates and people with intentions, I have a heart of disobedience, and I am ready to rebel.

After receiving more than a dozen outstanding people who were selected from among them, in ecstatic or flattered expressions, they called out their names and origins one by one, and gave them verbal encouragement and some rewards, such as the promise of private custom weapon decorations.

I brought a private customized long and short gun, personally performed a shot at the shooting range, and loaded and fired dozens of rounds in one go, and then left contentedly in a gaze of admiration and adoration.

When I returned home, I heard that Mrs. Chen had left a message for me, so I had to change out of my clothes that smelled of smoke and drive back to the old city.

In the renovated mansion of Jiayejun in the old city, I saw this cheap sister again, it seems that because she stayed in Ouchi, she looked a little more elegant and calm.

Just one sentence from her mouth made me raise my heart to my throat.

"I heard that you are on the beach and have trained a private army......"
