Chapter 429: The Fugitive from Juehua Island

(o429)

With regard to sanitation, there is one thing that must be improved immediately, and that is the disposal of manure. In the past, the feces in towns such as Fushan City were poured directly into the stinky ditch, and when it rained, it was washed away by the rainwater. If there is no rain, the feces will accumulate in large quantities, breeding a large number of flies and bacteria. In towns with better conditions, the manure is collected and then pulled into the wild to be dumped. Either way, it is difficult to eliminate the contamination caused by feces.

Zhang Zhun decided to vigorously promote the use of farm fertilizer and digest the manure as much as possible. At the same time, it is forbidden for anyone to dump feces anywhere in the city, whether it is the streets or the stinking gutters. When the people do not form their own habits, they can only enforce it.

Finally, there is the question of cultivating Langzhong.

This problem is very serious, and Zhang Zhun decided to find time to have a good talk with Xiao Baboru and Lang Zhong. At that time, doctors and the like in Langzhong were basically passed from father to son, son to grandson, and not even daughters. As for learning from a teacher, the requirements are very strict. It can be seen that every Lang Zhong is very stingy with his own medical skills, and he will not easily teach them to others.

Zhang Zhun meant that he was preparing to open a medical school and teach medical skills publicly. In the shortest possible time, a large number of Langzhong are trained. Even, if possible, medical skills should be included in private school education. As long as you are interested in medical skills, you can study it.

It is conceivable that Zhang Zhun's decision will definitely cause many Dr. Langzhong to worry. What they are most worried about is that they have taught their apprentices and starved their masters to death. To change their concepts, Zhang Zhun really needs to put in a little effort. Fortunately, Zhang Zhun learned from Ning Lingwei that the teachers of Shuiyue Nunnery were too compassionate and were still willing to teach their medical skills publicly.

However, the problem arises again. Chinese medical skills are unfathomable, and there are all kinds of medical skills, which medical skills should be taught publicly, and which medical skills are not suitable for public teaching, which is very testing! At the same time, what kind of medical skills are needed to meet the needs of Zhang Zhun here? Can't all medical skills be taught in one go? That has to be taught to the Year of the Monkey?

In addition, the process of medical training should also be redesigned. In the past, I studied medicine for a lifetime, whether I studied medicine with my father or my master, I always followed it. This process, at least, is more than 10 years. Now, Zhang Zhun wants to train a group of people who know medical skills in three to five years, which is really too demanding.

"Say it to your face!"

Zhang Zhun frowned and decided that it was better to say this question in person.

The official letter sent by the Logistics Division was mainly about the establishment of the Logistics Baggage Team. In the past, Zhang Zhun's troops basically fought in Lingshanwei and Aoshanwei, and there was no need to consider logistics and transportation. Occasionally, they go to sea to fight, and logistics and transportation are also solved by fleets. But now it is different, with the expansion of the territory controlled by Zhang Zhun, it is necessary to establish a professional baggage team.

The means of transport currently used by the Logistics Division are mainly wheelbarrows. The weight of a general wheelbarrow is about two stones (about 37o catties). According to Zhang Zhun's suggestion, the logistics department has improved the wheelbarrow so that it can take a more complex road. However, it is clear that the wheelbarrow is not adapted to the needs of the growing battle.

For example, this cavalry battle, from Qingzhou City to the battlefield, is about more than two hundred miles. If it's a wheelbarrow, it's two days away. A wheelbarrow, transporting supplies of two stones, could only support the needs of ten cavalry for about five days. A thousand cavalry, five days of supplies, at least a hundred wheelbarrows were needed to constantly carry them back and forth.

A hundred wheelbarrows, it doesn't seem like a lot. Because, the combat troops it is responsible for supporting are only a thousand people. If the combat force is increased to 10,000 people, 1,000 wheelbarrows will be needed. In addition, transportation is dangerous. In other words, the convoy must be escorted. In this way, it is more complicated. Therefore, it is imperative to form a professional transport battalion.

The Ming army has a professional transport battalion, including 1 general and 1 Chinese army; 3o military chariot soldiers; 254 miscellaneous soldiers; 1622 vehicle artillerymen; There are a total of 8 people in the battalion. Equipped with firearms: vehicle-mounted Franc Gate (3 people per door, in fact, it is a large-caliber musket); Bird gun 64o branch (gun hand 64o person). Vehicle animal power: 256 baggage trucks; 256 head of cattle for driving.

Miscellaneous tools: two sets of gold, drums, flags, and rattles; 96 rope piles; 256 rejecting rifles; 256 Flame Sharps; 224 fire sickles; 354 lanterns; 736 rowans; 496 iron pouts; 1,216 sickles; 128 axes; 128 chisels; Guillotine 24o mouth. Grain weight: rice 2oo stone; black beans 5oo stone; Qi Zi 299 stone 4 buckets; Fried noodles 299 stone 4 buckets. Gong pot 5oo mouth; 256 iron pots; 5oo hydration bags; 256 buckets.

Such a transport battalion can carry 10,000 people of military supplies at a time for three days. Obviously, with such a huge transport battalion, the Tiger Army could not afford it. There must be a more scientific establishment and more advanced means of transport. However, what is the better means of transportation, we still need to brainstorm. Zhang Zhun didn't think of a better way.

Four-wheeled carriages and the like, on the terrain of Laizhou Province, are not very suitable. Besides, Zhang Zhun didn't understand the process required to make a four-wheeled carriage. In addition, for bearings and rubber wheels, Zhang Zhun also has little understanding. Actually, rubber is really a good thing. If there are rubber wheels, the transportation capacity of the unicycle can be greatly improved. Unfortunately, rubber is not easy to get in large quantities in distant Southeast Asia!

Compared to land transportation, whether it is river transportation or sea transportation, the cost is much lower and much faster. Shen Lingfei's big ship can carry 3,000 stone of grain, which is equivalent to 1,500 wheelbarrows. The most common No. 3 fortune ship also transported more than 1,000 stones, which is equivalent to 500 wheelbarrows. It seems that in the future, the battle of the Tiger Ben Army will still have to rely heavily on river transportation and sea transportation.

The writing effort took Zhang Zhun a lot of time, and before he knew it, it was already evening. When it was about to be dinner, Sun Weina returned. She didn't come back alone, nor did she come back with Dong Shuyan. When she returned, she was followed by seventeen men. Their clothes were ragged and they looked very haggard. Many people have deep and shallow scars on their bodies. Judging by their complexion, there is no doubt that they should be sailors.

Sun Weina and Dong Shuyan went around and brought back a group of sailors? Zhang Zhun was really curious. What the hell are these two women doing? Could it be that they brought back all the natives of Furong Island?

Zhang Zhun said in surprise: "Na, what are you doing?" ”

Sun Weina smiled and said, "I sent you a talent." ”

After that, he pointed to Zhang Zhun and said, "Yao! This is Zhang Zhun! ”

The people behind her all looked at Zhang Zhun curiously, feeling a little weird, a little surprised, and a little unbelievable. Obviously, Zhang Zhun's youth, or something else, surprised them. If it weren't for Sun Weina's clear and clear words, there was only Zhang Zhun here, they really couldn't believe that the young man in front of them was Zhang Zhun who was making trouble in Shandong.

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "I am Zhang Zhun, you are ......"

A burly man with a haggard face came up in the middle, bowed and saluted, and said calmly: "Lord Governor is above, and his subordinate Huang Shijun is from Tianjin Navy, and I have seen Lord Governor. ”

Zhang Zhun said with some surprise: "You are all from Tianjin? ”

Sun Weina said with a smile: "They escaped from the prison of Tianjin Shuishi. ”

It turned out that today Sun Weina and "Lin Gongzi" went to Furong Island on the north coast of Laizhou Mansion to play, but they unintentionally encountered a drifting sampan. The people on the sampan are none other than Huang Shijun and others. They may have drifted from a long distance, and by the time they landed, they were very tired, and some of them were dying of lack of fresh water. Fortunately, Lin Gongzi knew a little bit of medical skills, and he also brought clean water with him, so he rescued them. After asking, I learned that they actually escaped from the Tianjin Water Division.

Sun Weina knew that Zhang Zhun's navy needed a large number of manpower, so she rolled her eyes and brought these people over. On the way, she told these people about Zhang Zhun, but she didn't mention Zhang Zhun's age. Huang Shijun and others were in the Tianjin Navy Division, and they also knew some things about Zhang Zhun from some channels. However, they didn't expect Zhang Zhun to be so young. Younger than all of them.

Zhang Zhun looked at everyone and said casually: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Huang Shijun and the others were obviously a little cramped, but they still stood still.

Sun Weina didn't see it, and said with a smile: "If you think it's inappropriate, then sit on the ground, it's okay." ”

Huang Shijun and the others were indeed a little tired, so they all sat on the ground. Zhang Zhun immediately asked people to bring food and water, and let them all have a full meal. When they were all full, Zhang Zhun asked some questions carefully. These people did escape from the Tianjin Naval Division. As for the reason for escaping, it is very simple, I don't want to do it anywhere.

The Tianjin Naval Division and the Dengzhou Naval Division were the last two naval divisions of the Ming Dynasty, mainly responsible for the supply of Bohai Bay and Jinzhou directions, and occasionally supported infantry battles. Within the control of the Tianjin Naval Division, there is a very familiar name of the island. This island is Juehua Island. Juehua Island is also today's Chrysanthemum Island. Due to its relationship with the Ningyuan War, Juehua Island is very mysterious. Some of the warships of the Tianjin Navy Division were stationed on this Juehua Island.

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "You are all stationed on Juehua Island? ”

Huang Shijun said obscurely: "Yes." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded with a deep groan.

Like the Dengzhou Sailor, the situation of the Sailor deducting food and salary is also very serious. Even, there are people who quietly deceive the grain transported to Liaodong, sell part of the grain to others for huge profits, and then mix the grain with wood bran and the like, and then send it to the Ming army in Liaodong. Some don't even bother to mix the chaff and mix the sand directly in it.

Huang Shijun, who took the lead in this group of people, was the commander of the sailor, but he couldn't get used to this kind of behavior of others, so he angrily exposed it, and as a result, not only were those people not punished, but his boss gave him a charge of bewitching the army's heart and confusing the public. Soon, Huang Shijun was sent to prison and imprisoned in a water prison.

Huang Shijun is actually a native of Jiangnan, and most of his ancestors were killed by the Japanese invaders, so Huang Shijun specially joined the team of sailors, looking forward to the day when the Japanese invaders will be eliminated again. Therefore, in the Tianjin Water Division, he was diligent, conscientious, and worked like an old scalper, and finally accumulated military merits and rose to the general manager. Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for the moment to eliminate the Japanese invaders, but instead became a trumped-up criminal.

"How did you escape?"

Zhang Zhun asked curiously.

Huang Shijun said obscurely: "It was Wang Chenglin and Ling Sishao who rescued their subordinates with them. ”

It turned out that after Huang Shijun was imprisoned, he had two loyal subordinates, one named Wang Chenglin and the other named Ling Sishao, who actively organized manpower and material resources to rob Huang Shijun from prison. Because Huang Shijun is usually more popular, there are many people who are willing to help. In the end, their group successfully opened the water prison and rescued Huang Shijun.

At that time, Huang Shijun was reluctant to leave the water prison. He was so disappointed in Tianjin Sailor that he was willing to die in it rather than come out. He was completely disappointed in this country, in this court, and in Tianjin Navy. His ideal of exterminating the Japanese is impossible to achieve, and there is no point in living. In the end, it was Wang Chenglin who picked up a wooden stick, knocked him unconscious, and then carried him out of the water prison.

After the robbery, they obviously couldn't stay on Juehua Island. When I went back to Tianjin, Wei was even more looking for death. There was no way, they had to flee for their lives to Shandong. Since they were all proficient in water and had some preparations in the early stage, they successfully came to the ground in Shandong by relying on a sampan.

After listening to their narration, Zhang Zhun did not speak immediately.

The navy is indeed in great need of people, and the arrival of these people just makes up for the shortage of manpower in the navy. However, they are people from the Tianjin Water Division. How so? Zhang Zhun didn't distrust them, but he wanted to make them feel that it was not easy to join the Huben Army Navy, and they should cherish it. Otherwise, they escape, and you immediately give them a good position, a good salary, and it will be difficult to manage later. Well, this idea is indeed a bit unkind. However, it is necessary to plan for the future.

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Huang Shijun, Wang Chenglin, Ling Sishao. ”

The three of them hurriedly stood up, and the others all followed.

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Since you are all good men of the water master, I want to test you." ”

Huang Shijun said calmly: "I don't know how adults want to assess us?" ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "You are water masters, of course you are examined by the methods of water masters!" Now, you follow me to Mawan! ”
