Chapter 82 Mining Costs

Feng Dachang, the commander of the order, accompanied a few Fu to pacify Chi Dacheng, Han Chao, Han Zhong, Xu Lu, Wen Fangliang and others, all came to Wang Dou's Qianhu official hall in high spirits.

In the first place is the "Song of Persuasion", which is the military discipline song of the Shunxiang Army, Wang Dou adopted the lyrics of the "Song of Persuasion" of the Beiyang Army in later generations, which is more in line with the background of the times at this time, and Wang Dou has changed slightly in a few places. The tune uses the local folk songs of Baoan Zhou:

"Be filial to your son, and be loyal to your ministers. The people of the court are all working hard, and they have high hopes to raise soldiers. There is no need to work every day, and you can eat monthly food comfortably. If you don't contribute to the country, heaven, earth, ghosts and gods will not tolerate it. Since ancient times, there have been many generals, and Hugh has despised himself as a soldier. ”

"First, we must study and practice diligently, and make meritorious contributions after learning skills. Weapons are protective objects, and they should be scrubbed and cleaned from time to time.

Second, we must be really brave in battle, and we should live naturally without dying. If you retreat from the military order, you will lose your bad name.

Third, we must be kind to the people, and all the food and wages depend on their farming. As long as the soldiers and the people become a family, the people will help each other and achieve success.

Four Mo ** women, which is not born to parents. The Er family also has wives and daughters, how can they be humiliated?

Fifth, I don't see the evil thoughts of wealth, and the robbers will have retribution for a long time. How many gold and silver treasures you get, you can hold it and kill a void.

Sixth, we must respect the officers in the army, and the crime of violating orders is not light. Don't lie, do things honestly.

Seven precepts for gambling and prostitution, the official found out that he should be punished heavily. How glorious it is to keep the money and feed the family.

If you keep in mind these words, "Surely you will raise the heads." If it is completely inadvertent, it is not merciful to fight lightly and kill hard. ”

This lyric vividly integrates the military discipline regulations that need to be paid attention to in the general into the song, and in the process of the sergeant singing, those military discipline regulations are remembered unconsciously. This lyric was compiled by Wang Dou, and Feng Dachang found some old artists in the troupe to compose the music.

For Wang Dou, a martial artist, Feng Dachang felt very strange, since Wang Dou arrived at Shunxiang Fort, Feng Dachang has seen many differences between Wang Dou and others.

Wang Dou also asked how the relationship between Han Chao and Wan Sheng and Zheng Niangzi was progressing, and Han Chao completely lost his former calmness, but blushed and twisted and did not answer.

This guy, I don't know what to think, Zheng Niangzi left behind the reserve of women, took the initiative to pursue him as a woman, and often sent rice to Shunxiang Fort with his uncle Zheng Jinglun, just to see Han Chao and get closer to him. The wood-like is not open, and it is a person who is in a hurry.

In fact, Wang Dou has also heard some rumors, Han Chao seems to like a certain woman in Shangzhou City, that woman is described as delicate, that is, her demeanor is frivolous, between Zheng Niangzi and this woman, Han Chao can't decide which one to choose.

This guy lived to be twenty-four years old, probably still a virgin, and he had never seen a battle, so Wang Dou was naturally obliged to guide him.

Wang Dou looked at him and said: "When you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous wife, and your husband will have no misfortune." Brother Han, it's not me talking about you, Zheng Niangzi is ordinary, but she is virtuous and virtuous, such a woman is a good companion! ”

Wang Dou's uncle Zhong Zhengxian said: "That is, Brother Han should not dislike that she is a widow, she has a rice shop and is rich." She doesn't look down on my old clock, otherwise"

Zhong glared at him angrily, and Zhong Zhengxian hurriedly stopped talking.

The ROK and the DPRK still do not speak.

Wang Dou sighed: "From next year, those who do not have a wife in my Shunxiang army will not be allowed to enlist, and those who do not have a wife will not be promoted. ”

Han Chao arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, you will definitely marry a wife and set up a room next year, so as not to embarrass your adult." ”

Wang Dou said: "That's good." ”

He said to Fu Zhong: "Second Brother Han, what about you? ”

This guy is twenty-two years old, and he is not too young.

However, it is still much cheaper than bows and arrows, and the manufacturing time is much faster. After all, according to the traditional method of making bows and arrows, a bow does not have three years to think about making it. Manufacture arrows. It's also very complex.

For this new type of fire, the officers were surprised by its power, and at the same time had doubts in their hearts, this kind of fire system is very powerful, but the range is too close, compared with the original bird's scope range lethality in 100 steps, it is really too far behind, and it is a serious test for the psychological pressure of the sergeants!

When the Houjin cavalry rolled in, could the sergeants fight calmly at such a short distance?

This kind of doubt needs to be confirmed by actual combat!

Wang Dou still instructed Li Maosen to make a batch of this kind of fire.

Originally, there were more than 20 artisan households in Jingbian Fort, as well as a group of workers who made paper shell cartridges, and Wang Dou was transferred to Shunxiang Fort.

There were more than 70 artisan households in Shunxiang Fort, and the young and strong Dingkou in their family were selected to be incorporated into the Shunxiang Army, but the old and weak people left behind were also experienced craftsmen.

Under the leadership of Li Maosen, in nearly a period of time, they made a new type of fire lock, 52 doors, more than 20 pairs of helmets, and more than 200 spear heads. Under the reward and punishment measures of Shunxiangbao Xinbu, no craftsman dared to slack off, and basically the weapons produced were qualified.

It's just that the stock of iron has been used up, and now the craftsmen have nothing to do all day except to make cardboard shell cartridges, just waiting for the arrival of new iron.

For the hematite mine in Huiyaobao, Li Maosen had already gone to the local area to inspect it, and he said to Wang Dou: "My lord, the local Mu stone ore is outstanding, and the villain believes that as long as it is mined, the weapons manufactured will be of the highest quality, but the mountains are high and the roads are far away, I am afraid that it is inconvenient to mine!" ”

There are about seven miles of road from Shunxiang Fort to Huiyao Fort, ten miles of road from Huiyao Fort to Tunzhen of the fork road, and then turn west into a river mountain road from the fork Tunpu, and then walk about five miles before going to the Koujiagou hematite place, there are only a few families in the local area.

As for transportation, nothing more than ox carts and mule carts are used, but Wang Dou still tries to use wheelbarrows, which can be used by the old and weak and women, saving some freight and allowing more people to eat.

He said to Li Maosen: "Li Jiangtou, from today on." You choose some craftsmen to go to the local area, I remember that there is an old craftsman named Wu Shihuan in Shunxiang Fort, he is very experienced, maybe he can be your deputy! ”

Wu Shiyun was the craftsman who built the Lanzhou waterwheel for Wang Dou that day, this old man has rich experience, has been in many places in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Dou believes that he also has his own uniqueness in the mining of iron ore.

Wang Dou said: "As for the high mountains and long roads, it is inconvenient to mine. This is not a problem, we have to overcome difficulties, we have to go up if we have conditions, and we have to create conditions if we don't. ”

After Li Maosen received the order, Wang Dou said to Lin Daofu: "Lord Lin, I will entrust you with the matter of Koujiagou's mining, this is a major matter related to the life and death of our Shunxiang Fort, and we must treat it solemnly!" ”

Lin Daofu was in a hurry during this time, whether it was the matter of military training, or the matter of Tuntian, the tall middle-aged officer seemed to have endless strength all over his body, and everyone heard his loud voice, at this time he arched his hand to Wang Dou and said: "My lord, rest assured, the matter of opening a mine in Koujiagou, the lower officials will definitely treat it solemnly, and the iron mine will definitely be started!" ”

After he gave the salute, he then asked Wang Dou for silver.

Wang Dou carefully calculated for a while, and said: "That's it, I'll give you three hundred taels of silver in advance, and we'll calculate the cost in the future!" ”
