"That's right." Sun Anle said: "I will be more than twenty and less than sixty men in Dongshan, as long as you have the courage to follow, we will bring them!" ”

Li Dayong gritted his teeth and said: "We are not as many as Dongshan Club, but we can also gather a hundred or ten people." ”

Ma Hua said first: "I can also gather one or two hundred people from there." ”

Chang Wei said to everyone: "The manpower is good, but most of them are rabble, so those who are not brave and have not received a single escort training should not bring it, so as not to be scared to pee first when they see the thieves, and they will disturb the morale of the army." ”

Speaking of this, everyone is a little ashamed, in the iron field of Lingqiu, only the iron field of Heyusheng attaches the most importance to escort training, and the number of guards in the iron field of Yusheng is not large, but the training is very strict, and there will be rotations here to come to the archer squad and mature officers to help train the miners, and the trained miners can get subsidies, and the food will be much better, so many people are happy to accept military training...... Not everyone is willing to ask them to be soldiers, after all, not everyone is willing to leave their homes, but for training, they can eat braised pork at noon after a hard morning, which the miners are still willing to sacrifice.

It's just that the proprietors of each family are unwilling to pay for subsidies and don't want to bother, so only Dongshan will engage in rotation training in the rest of the iron yards, and most of the others will go through the motions to give Zhang Han a little face, and now that I think about it, I am really stupid.

"Zhang Dongzhu is really in front of everything." Li Dayong sighed: "I'm really convinced now." ”

Chang Wei smiled and said nothing, Zhang Han really looked farther than ordinary people.

In fact, even Chang Wei didn't know that after ten years, the big households in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places began to engage in group training, and there were many large households that formed villages to protect themselves, and the peasant army was wandering around, and it was not necessarily necessary to conquer those villages that had to be defeated with heavy casualties, and the big households that had no defense at all, the situation was extremely miserable.

One of the major failures at the end of the Ming Dynasty was that the control of the imperial court was too poor, even the Manchu Qing Dynasty was far behind, and it did not make good use of the spontaneous group exercises, let alone take the initiative to engage in group exercises.

After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court began to attach importance to regimental training, and the White Lotus Sect was armed with regimental training, and when it came to the Taiping Army, it was a great group training, and each province had a regimental training minister to be responsible for supervising the training of local villagers, in fact, the Taiping Army was also eliminated by Xiangyong.

The general regimental training is for the big families to defend their own lives, and the Hunan army is actually to protect the traditional values, which is an amplified version of the village bravery.

"Weapons are enough for each iron yard." Chang Wei looked at the sun shadow and said: "It's the end of Chen, before Shen Shi, everyone sent their own people, brought more food and bedding, and stationed in Duyuling to protect the safety of Dongshan. As for the county seat in the east, we can ignore it. ”

"Okay, that's it."

"Let's listen to Zhongwei."

"Not to me." Chang Wei smiled: "Let's all listen to Master Zhang." ”

"Yes, yes!"

This time, everyone's tone was no longer hesitating, but very enthusiastic and sincere.

……

"Everybody stand up!"

"Check that the backpack straps are tied and sturdy!"

"Check the barking, the bird's carrying."

"Check whether the projectile box, leather belt, gunpowder bottle, and primer bottle are all hanged!"

"Check the kettle, lunch box, sewing kit, medical first aid kit!"

"Check the uniforms, boots."

The noon sun is still good, and it makes people feel very warm when they are exposed to the sun, Sun Yao stood at the head of the team, issuing orders one after another, with his military order, the officers of the three squads urged their subordinates to carry out inspections, and each soldier helped each other to check the equipment face-to-face, and reported after the inspection, and then the three team officers reported to Sun Yao respectively, and finally each flag captain reported to the bureau hundred generals, and began to act after the inspection of a bureau.

Dozens of carts full of supplies have set off first, this kind of four-wheeled vehicle is specially designed according to the situation of many mountain roads, the body is narrower, the load is also reduced a lot, the wheels and the bearing axle connection is reinforced, but also carries a lot of accessories, there are also craftsmen with them, can be repaired at any time.

The two divisions and the personnel of the headquarters began to set out in batches, forming a long column in a row of three people, the archers carrying spears or bird guns on their shoulders, and the sword and card players with a small amount of iron armor on the carts, they became the easiest group to walk.

The cavalry flag team and a small number of pond horses from each bureau were gathered together to form a temporary cavalry squadron, they were under the command of Zhu Dayong, this person was one of Duo'er's deputies, and also from Jizhen Ye Bu Harvest, old and heavy, very familiar with cavalry tactics, he was ordered to form a cavalry team, in front of the team to conduct a sentry.

The cavalry's equipment is also the best now, everyone wears cotton armor, everyone has a riding spear, a throwing spear, a bow and arrow, as well as a knife card, a bone duo, a short axe, a throwing knife, because there are few people, they are the best good hands to choose, they are also constantly practicing the skills of horse fighting and sentry every day, the officers are not accepted at night, these cavalry are trained very well, almost all of them are qualified night candidates.

The column is spread out according to the flag team, and each flag captain has a flag bearer next to him to play the team flag, and each flag team has a certain distance between them.

There were a few squads of Mandarin Duck soldiers walking on both sides of the team, armed with knives and signs, to guard against sneak attacks that should not occur.

Tangma galloped back and forth between the ranks, passing orders.

The general flag of the bureau and the general flag of the department were displayed, and finally Zhang Han's inspection flag.

After Zhang Han was in the baggage team, he wanted to see the performance of the baggage. Compared with the archers, Zhang Han pays more attention to the performance of the mountain wagon.

"These cars are doing well, Dongxue, you can reward the relevant craftsmen when you go back."

Carriage technology has always been the core craft that He Yusheng attaches the most importance to, and there are more members of the carriage group than firearms and weapons, and the craftsmen with the best craftsmanship are also in the carriage group, which may be unimaginable to others, but for Zhang Han, such a decision could not be more natural...... Without these carts, his army would be a chariot and horse without wheels, and it would be difficult for him to gallop across the country.

Li Dongxue said: "Now the technology is qualified, and the craftsmen also attach the most importance to it, and there is a lot of funding, but now there is still a shortage of manpower to restrict the production of carriages and related weapons, and there are many machine parts that have to be made by hand, which is time-consuming, and because the standards of each craftsman are different, there are many parts that are not compatible......

Zhang Han looked at a carriage pulling the whole vehicle parts in front of him, and said thoughtfully: "Bringing so many maintenance parts, mainly because the spare parts are not standard, right?" ”

Li Dongxue nodded and said, "What the adults said is true, that's it." ”

"It's time for the factory to do standardized management." Zhang Han said: "Now that the scale has expanded, Wang Debang used to be just a few people, brought out by a master, and the things that were typed out were not much different from standardization. A veteran looks at it a few times, and what comes out is almost a standard part. Now that there are more people, we really should pay attention to this matter. Dongxue, after you go back, all the tools are marked, each craftsman uses standardized unified tools, and selects excellent parts, and then builds according to the standard, even if the standard is different, even if it is good, it is not qualified, and then it is grouped, for example, someone is very good at making steering shafts, take this person as a standard and craftsman, select a group of competent all the steering shafts, pay by piece, the master takes the apprentice, and the success of the one will give the relevant heavy reward, so that they do not hide their secrets, and do not make any more set of teaching apprentices to starve the master...... I haven't thought about it yet, Dongxue, you have to think more about it yourself, and you have to help me share my worries in this matter. ”

"Yes, proprietor." Li Dongxue couldn't help but use the old name, he said: "The wire drawing machine should be about to be completed, I see that a group of them are sneaky every day, and the group of craftsmen are trying the waterwheel hammer that the proprietor said, as well as the roller machine, the punch, the drilling machine, as long as the proprietor really buys a sample, I don't think it is difficult to imitate." ”

Zhang Han has already sent people to Macao, Macau is not in charge of the firearms trading business is not the Portuguese colonists, but the very powerful Jesu Society at that time, this clerical organization has only been established for more than 100 years, but the development is extremely fast, the power is huge, there is a terrifying hidden strength, in Asia they are also missionary first, not blindly want to colonize and obtain wealth, participate in this organization of ambitious religious madmen, there are also some professionals who are proficient in science and technology, Some famous missionaries in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were members of this organization.

The most famous thing of this organization is to help the Ming Dynasty buy a large number of heavy artillery, that is, Hongyi cannons, and at the same time provide a lot of technicians to help the Ming Dynasty cast cannons, in Dengzhou, the governor Sun Yuanhua because he is a disciple of Xu Guangqi, is very interested in Western weapons and training methods, in Dengzhou Sun Yuanhua not only used Western technicians to cast cannons, but also hired a large number of European instructors and mercenaries, most of these people died in the later Dengzhou Rebellion, and a possible attempt at military innovation in the Ming Dynasty was suspended.

Zhang Han believed that he could buy some machine tools by sending people to Macao, although these machines were also very primitive, but after all, they were the products of early industrialization, and they had mechanical beauty, which was completely different from purely handmade products...... Although the lathe is also made by hand.

Zhang Han pondered: "There are still many things that can be done, and we must pay attention to the cultivation of the reserve......

Li Dongxue said: "Don't worry, my lord, the appropriation over there has always been the top priority, the money is sufficient, and the uncle helps with technical things, I don't think there is really any need to worry too much." ”

Zhang Han smiled when he heard this: "What has my uncle been busy with lately? ”

Li Dongxue also smiled: "Recently, I have been busy imitating clocks, and many of them have been imitated, but none of them are accurate, which makes my uncle angry half to death." ”

Zhang Han said: "It's not urgent...... The watch industry has a history of hundreds of years on the side of Taixi, and we have never been involved in this piece, so we can do it well if we are not in a hurry, so that he can be a little quiet, figure out the principle, and slowly and carefully make it step by step, and there will always be a successful day. ”

In fact, at this time, Europe is also dominated by clocks, but slowly miniaturized, unlike the previous large clocks that are more than one person high, now there are smaller grandfather clocks, to a few decades later, there are very delicate small grandfather clocks until the appearance of pocket watches, Chang Jin has a very high pole, but compared with the history of hundreds of years is still a lot worse...... But Zhang Han believes that he will succeed and even go ahead of the Europeans. There is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in China, there are already people in Suzhou who can imitate the table clock, and there are also people who imitate the telescope, after all, this thing is not really incomprehensible high-tech, the gap is only the concept and implementation of China and the West have chosen different paths, since there is the right thing to learn in front of you, it is a matter of time before you learn.
