Zhang Zhun explained that this "certain quality" contains many levels of meaning. He gave a few examples to illustrate. In the first example, a hundred muskets should be able to fire a hundred. In the second example, a waist knife that can be used for three years must be able to be used for three years. If one out of a hundred muskets fails to fire, the quality is not up to par. If the waist knife is damaged in less than three years, it is also not up to par.

"Yulin, your request is really high!"

When Li Fenglai and the three of them started, they thought that Zhang Zhun only needed quantity and not quality, but later found out that it was not the case at all. Zhang Zhun's requirements for quality are high. He just doesn't want everyone to pursue meaningless quality, but for the basic quality, he raises it very high, very high. No musket can fail, and any waist knife must be able to last for three years, such quality requirements are too high.

"Do you have the confidence to do it?"

Zhang Zhun looked at the three of them with sparkling eyes and asked expectantly.

The three of them looked at each other, weighed it very seriously for a while, and then said slowly after a long time: "Yulin, we can do it, and we can also supervise others to do it." However, in this case, there is a possibility that the production efficiency will be reduced. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded casually and said slowly: "The production efficiency is reduced, there is no problem, we can invest more manpower." However, quality must be guaranteed. To ensure the quality, from the link of your ironmaking, you must strictly control it. If the quality of the steel is not up to par, everything in the future will be in vain. ”

The three of them suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Zhang Zhun is right, it is true. No matter what kind of weapon, it is inseparable from steel. If the quality of the steel is not up to par, no matter how skilled the craftsman, will not be able to create a weapon of good quality. The muskets or artillery of the Ming army often exploded, isn't it because the quality of the steel is not up to par?

However, how easy is it to achieve steel quality? This involves a very professional technical field, and the three of them believe that Zhang Zhun will definitely not understand. In fact, how can they say the word "understand"? There is no end to the research in this professional field. Keep improving, there is always room for improvement. There is no best, only better.

Zhang Zhun saw the solemn expressions of the three of them, so he said with a smile: "Actually, uncles and uncles don't be nervous, I don't ask you to come up with the best quality steel all at once." Let's improve step by step! Whatever materials you need, how much food you need, you can ask me. If you think that the craftsmen are good, you can bring them in, and I will pay them satisfactory wages. As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, everyone works together, and the quality of steel will always improve little by little. ”

Li Feng said: "From then on, the three of us will often come to trouble you." ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Isn't it the best for everyone to communicate with each other? You are in charge of the technology, and I am in charge of formulating the system. When there are more of you, I will put in place some system to stimulate all blacksmiths to contribute to improving the quality of steel. You can tell them now that they can make minor improvements, and they will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Those who make great improvements will be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver. Those who make a decision to improve their surnames will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. If the improvement effect is greater, you can also reward 1,000 taels of silver! ”

The eyes of the three of them suddenly lit up.

People die for money, birds die for food, who can not be tempted by money?

Before they knew it, the three of them couldn't help but gear up and were ready to do a big job.

………………

With a smile on his face, he sent Li Fenglai and the others away, and Zhang Zhun left Maojiatun and returned to the Hongshitan military camp.

It has been two days since the end of the battle, and the fighters have summed up their respective sums up more or less the same. In the evening of the same day, Zhang Zhun held a battle summary meeting. In this battle, there are really a lot of lessons learned. The speeches were very positive, especially the new fighters. After winning the battle, the most excited are of course the new fighters, and the old fighters are generally more composed.

The most important takeaway from this battle is to build up the strong self-confidence of each fighter. Even the Tartars have been killed by everyone, what enemy can be stronger than the Tartars? No matter what kind of enemy you encounter in the future, there should be no psychological pressure. The current escort team can be described as imposing and unstoppable.

Of course, Zhang Zhun himself knew very well that a dozen or so sporadic Tartars without horses and organized Tartar cavalry were completely different things. The Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 people, and 10,000 people are invincible, although this statement is despised by everyone, in fact, there is some truth. Once the Tatar cavalry reaches a certain number, they will be able to give full play to their ability in mobile warfare, attack in a combined manner, coordinate with each other, fight if they win, and run away if they can't win, which is indeed very difficult to deal with. However, everyone's enthusiasm must not be dampened.

As for the lessons, everyone has summed up a lot.

The first, there is no suitable armor.

If there were a suitable helmet, the three warriors would not have been shot in the head by a Tartar and died. At the very least, it can be pulled back for rescue. It turns out that the wet cotton clothes still have a certain defensive ability against arrowheads. The three warriors, who were also shot by the arrows of the Tartars and were blocked by cotton clothes, were lucky to survive. The arrow was inserted into their bodies, less than two inches, and after Lang Zhong's diagnosis and treatment, they could return to the battlefield in a month's time.

Therefore, it was suggested that a dogskin hat should be used as a helmet, which was also soaked and worn on the head during the war. Hao Linyong and others have done experiments and found that the soaked cotton cap, if the thickness is enough, can indeed resist the damage of some arrowheads. Of course, the effect is not as good as that of cotton clothes. After all, the brain is the most important part of the human body, and once it is hit, it is very easy to damage. In fact, even if you have a helmet, you may not be able to completely block the damage of the Tartar arrows.

This question will be put aside for the time being.

The second, there are not enough firearms.

Because the convoy started relatively late, if you want to train archers, it will definitely be too late, and you can only start with firearms. In fact, the Ming Dynasty now has a lot of firearms, from the tiger squat cannon with a range of only a dozen meters, to the red-coated cannon with a range of several kilometers. It's just that they are rebels and it is impossible to get these weapons. Everything has to be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing. The first step in this self-reliance is to start with steel.

The reason why Zhang Zhun asked Li Fenglai and others to strictly control the quality of ironmaking was also because of this consideration. Firearms are not like steel knives and spears, even if they are damaged, they will not hurt themselves. Once the musket artillery is blown up, it will be a disaster for the surname. When Qi Jiguang first started to kill the Japanese invaders, hundreds of people were killed and injured in a battle, and more than half of them were killed or injured by the explosion of his own firearms.

"The most critical factor in war is people!"

"Weapons are just an important factor!"

"As long as the human factor is fully activated, even if the weapon is a little worse, it can still win the battle! On the contrary, if the human factor is not stimulated, no matter how good the weapon is, it can only be the captain of the transport brigade! Where did the weapons of the Tartars come from? Where did the steel supplies for the Tartars come from? It's not snatched from the Ming Dynasty! Every time the Tartars enter the customs, they have to rob a large number of people and materials! This is the key to their getting stronger and stronger! ”

On the issue of firearms, Zhang Zhun resolutely educated everyone to prevent the spread of the sentiment of blindly relying on advanced weapons to fight wars. Now the convoy wants to be fully equipped with firearms, and there is still a long way to go. During this time, everyone also had to fight with spears and triangular thorns.

The third issue is the distribution of military merits.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhun set the rule that he killed an enemy and rewarded him with an acre of military land. In the first two days of fighting, the convoy eliminated a total of hundreds of enemies, including thirteen Tartars. According to Zhang Zhun's intentions, killing each Tartar rewarded ten acres of military land. As a result, when distributing the merits of the battle, there was a phenomenon of rip-offs, and everyone said that a certain enemy was killed by himself, and the credit should belong to him. Five Tartars were killed by the musketeers, there were thirteen musketeers at that time, who killed the Tartars, it is impossible to judge, only a common merit. At the same time, the musketeers attacked under the cover of others, and did others have no credit at all?

The distribution of military exploits involved fairness, justice, and openness, as well as competition within the troops, and Zhang Zhun certainly did not dare to take it lightly, so he personally presided over the transfer of the merits and analyzed the situation at that time. As a result, it took half a day to finally evaluate the merits, and everyone basically had no opinion. In the end, Peng Bo, Zhang Yatie, Yang Zixuan and others had the most outstanding military exploits.

After the conclusion of the meeting, it is naturally a celebration party. The scale of this celebration is even grander than the last time. After all, last time, there were only representatives of Yangjiatun, and there were only a few hundred people in the full fight. This time, the representatives of the eight tuns of the entire Fushan Institute arrived, and there were thousands of people. The scene was naturally lively, serious and solemn.

At this celebration meeting, Liu Hang, Wang Mingyu, and Hou Shanping officially appeared on the rostrum. The distribution of military land, the exemption of land in the army, and the logistical supply of the escort all involved the three of them, and the three of them were also representatives of the people of each tun. As a specially invited representative, Mr. Mao San also took the stage to speak. The old man was full of energy, and he played up his achievements in Liaodong that year, and encouraged everyone to fight bravely to kill the Tartars.

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

The atmosphere of the scene was pushed to the top by Mao Sanye, and the soldiers below were roaring angrily, fierce and fierce. Zhang Zhun secretly admired in his heart, this Third Master Mao is really the material for being a political commissar, it seems that he has to arrange an honorary position in the escort team, so that he can help boost the morale of the soldiers every day.
