[The fourth update of tonight's plus more will be sent to ~~~~ to collect, to recommend~~~~]
At the end of the morning summary meeting, Zhang Zhun was busy talking with the new fighters to understand their basic situation and improve their morale. These new soldiers, all of whom are the elder brothers or younger brothers of the sacrificed and wounded team members, or nephews or something, are all related to each other, with a revenge mentality, and it is easy to integrate into the escort. However, it is also prone to some radical behaviors and requires certain psychological guidance.
At noon, the barracks prepared a rich lunch. In fact, the so-called abundance is the fullness of pork. After all, pork is to be purchased with money, and it costs fifty wen per catty, and if you let go of the belly to eat, the escort team can almost consume one hundred catties of pork every day, that is, five taels of silver. Zhang Zhun now earns dozens of taels of silver every day, and there are still many places that need to be used, and a little must be saved.
In fact, for such a meal, the fighters of the convoy were already very satisfied. In the past, even for the Chinese New Year, they didn't have such food. The mere fact that you have enough to eat is enough to attract others to join the army.
In the afternoon, Zhang Zhun took the time to return to Yangjiatun to deal with some other things.
As a result, as soon as he entered Yangjiatun, he found that there were many teenagers and many children gathered in the original open space of Yangjiatun, listening to Lin Bin and others tell stories. At this time, Lin Bin was like a child king, full of energy and energetic, where could he see that he was a wounded?
"This Lin Bin is really a workaholic."
Zhang Zhun praised it in his heart.
It's a pity that such a fighter is injured.
However, the east is not bright and the west is bright, Lin Bin may not be able to show his talent on the battlefield, but he can take on more important tasks in the injured and retired division. Through the words and deeds of the wounded and retired division, more soldiers will join the escort team.
"Captain."
When Lin Bin saw Zhang Zhun coming, he hurriedly got up on crutches and saluted.
"You're doing a great job."
Zhang Zhun did not hesitate to praise himself.
Lin Bin's face suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Thank you for the captain's trust!" ”
Zhang Zhun nodded and briefly understood the situation of Lin Bin's work.
After getting Zhang Zhun's authorization and encouragement, Lin Bin and the other five people really did not feel frustrated about being injured, and immediately took action and started work in the name of the injured retirement department. Their first priority is actually to tell a story, to tell the story of the battle of Willow Gully.
When the villagers rushed to Liushugou, the battle was over, so the villagers did not know the specific course of the battle. But they all wanted to know the details of the battle, and wanted to know how Zhang Zhun led the escort team to defeat the invincible Black Panther. However, the convoy is not open to the public, and they cannot enter at all. Therefore, if they wanted to know the details of the battle, they could only get the news from Lin Bin.
As a former member of the escort team, Lin Bin and the others naturally spit and described the escort team as heroic, as if they were all reincarnated as martial artists. In fact, after defeating the Black Panther, the first villain in the Fushan Institute, the escort team can't boast too much, and the fathers and villagers of Yangjiatun are also happy to hear such stories. It's like the smoothness of the future generations is always happier than the head of the regiment, and the more powerful your own people, the better.
At this time, the happiest are the children of Yangjiatun. As long as Lin Bin sat there, there would be children surrounding him. Either to listen to the story, or to teach him the art of assassination. It seems that Yang Dare gave birth to these half-grown children, who are at the age of restlessness, but they can't meet the standards for joining the escort team, but they are also unambiguous when they usually use scimitars and guns. For the vast majority of children, joining the escort team is their greatest wish. Now that they are not yet old, they have to learn from Lin Bin and the others.
"Captain, Ren Jiatun also wants to ask us to tell them the story of the battle in Liushugou, I don't know if it's okay?" Lin Bin suddenly asked Zhang Zhun for instructions.
"Ren Jiatun? Meddlesome! Should go! Zhang Zhun immediately agreed.
This is a good opportunity to expand the publicity of the Convoy, and it certainly cannot be missed.
Zhang Zhun didn't expect that his casual idea would have such a big effect, and he couldn't help but admire himself a little. Since Ren Jiatun is interested, I believe that other tuns will also be interested. He pondered for a moment and said to Lin Bin: "If you encounter something similar in the future, you can decide for yourself, and you don't need to ask me for instructions." The general principle is to preach our convoys, to preach the bravery of our soldiers, to preach our hatred of the enemy. As long as it's good for us, you can do it! ”
Lin Bin said happily: "I know! I'll keep it in mind! ”
Zhang Zhun smiled and nodded, stood on the periphery, and continued to listen to Lin Bin tell stories to the children, expressing his support for Lin Bin's work.
It wasn't until he saw Yang Yinghan's figure that Zhang Zhun quietly left.
Yang Yinghan is also a busy person now, in addition to managing the account books, there are also a lot of things to be busy with in purifying refined salt, and sometimes he doesn't even have time to eat. Seeing Zhang Zhun walking straight towards him, Yang Yinghan stopped and said, "Yulin, are you looking for me?" ”
Zhang Zhun nodded and said bluntly: "The women in the tun, I don't know if there is time?" I'm looking for them to do something. ”
Yang Yinghan said: "What's wrong? What do you want them to do for you? ”
Zhang Zhun said: "I am going to make three sets of military uniforms for everyone in the escort team!" ”
During the summary meeting in the morning, Zhang Zhun noticed a problem, that is, the soldiers of the escort team wore all kinds of clothes, and there were all kinds of clothes. Although his expression looks serious, his waist is also straight, and his eyes are bright. But it always feels like something is missing. That's right, the difference is the military uniform, the military flag. Without these two things, it cannot be officially called an army.
At the same time, at the summary meeting, some fighters pointed out that in the fierce battle, it is impossible to distinguish whether the people around them are their own people or enemies. Because, everyone's clothes were different, and blood was splashed, and in the hurry, it was impossible to make out at all. Unless they are fighters of the same squad and are very familiar with each other. Otherwise, at the moment of lightning, it is really not easy to judge whether it is your own person. In order to protect yourself, you often need to strike first, which is very likely to lead to accidental injury to your own people.
In the battle of Liushugou, the soldiers relied on three-edged thorns to distinguish between friend and foe. The triangular thorn is a strange weapon that only the convoy has, not the enemy. Relying on this, there were no major mistakes. However, in the future, if there are more types of weapons, it will be a bit difficult to distinguish friend from foe, and accidental injury is inevitable.
Zhang Zhun believes that the issue raised by the fighters is very critical and must be resolved immediately. To fundamentally solve this problem, of course, it is to have a unique military uniform. He calculated the income of refined salt and felt that it was no problem to make military uniforms. During the Ming Dynasty, the folk clothing was mainly cotton cloth in winter and silk cloth (cloth made of ramie) in summer. Cotton and silk cloth are not as difficult to obtain as iron, especially cotton cloth is cheaper.
Cotton cloth from the south of the Yangtze River is dumped in Shandong in large quantities, and the price of each cotton cloth is about six or seven hundred wen. One piece of cotton cloth is enough for one soldier to make three sets of military uniforms. Converted, three sets of military uniforms per person cost about sixty taels of silver. With the labor cost, it is about 100 taels. The total cost will not be significant.
Military uniforms are strong and durable, and can withstand wear and tear, so the fabric used must be coarse plain cloth (that is, coarse cloth). In the coarse cloth, gray is the cheapest, dyed with grass ash, and the price of each coarse cloth is about 500 yuan. At the same time, gray is the color that is most conducive to concealment, or the most resistant to dirt, considering the characteristics of the escort, it is best to choose gray.
Yang Yinghan listened to Zhang Zhun explain the situation, nodded and said, "I'll call Aunt Liu, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Niu, let's discuss?" ”
Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
After a while, Yang Yinghan called several aunts. They are all female celebrities in Yangjiatun, and after listening to Zhang Zhun's explanation of the situation, they all said that there was no problem. 300 sets of military uniforms, as long as there are enough manpower, can be completed in five days. Of course, this manpower has enough means, basically mobilizing all the female celebrities in Yangjiatun.
In fact, this is unlikely, and there are quite a lot of manpower needed for refined salt purification. Now Yang Ruifeng is in charge of refining salt, and the daily output of refined salt has reached about 800 catties, and the labor required is really a lot. In addition to the men, the able-bodied women also came to help.
Yang Yinghan asked, "Do you have any special requirements for this military uniform?" ”
Zhang Zhun thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The position of the shoulders of the jacket should be wider to facilitate movement. The cuffs should be narrowed. The pants should be shorter, and the crotch should be wide to facilitate movement. The belt should be easy to tie and loosen. The main thing is that it is simple and durable, and easy to wash. ”
As for the specific style, he didn't have too many requirements.
The military uniforms of later generations were produced by machines, with various logo decorations, which looked very beautiful, but in the Ming Dynasty, these decorations were not important, because when everyone had the conditions, they still wore armor. When the time comes, the armor will be covered on the body, and no matter how beautiful the military uniform is, it will be covered. Therefore, military uniforms do not need to look good, the key is to be strong and durable. Of course, it would be even more perfect to be able to take into account the beauty when you are not wearing armor.
Since it is a military uniform, some necessary transformations are inevitable, and the temperament of the military must be revealed. On the two sleeves of the military uniform, two trouser legs, you need to add some special logos. so as to distinguish. At the same time, it is necessary to reserve a certain number of vacant seats in appropriate places for the wearing of officer insignia and skill markings.
