After millet and millet planting, part of the land left can also be planted with mushrooms and sunflowers, these two crops are harvested, their straw is ploughed into the ground, that is, the green manure that is not weaker than manure, this crop rotation method, is another important fertilizer supplement to the land after the fallow method is canceled, in addition, cranberry, garlic, onion, leek, ginger, alfalfa (note) and other crops can also be planted, some are in front of the house and behind the house, on the ridge, and some are planted on the newly reclaimed hillside.

He had been paying attention to the farming affairs and didn't care about anything else, until the blacksmiths came to tell him that the five hundred green dragon halberds in the valley had been made, and Deng Ji woke up and hurriedly called Tai Shici to check it out.

Tai Shi Ci is a rare general, and he understands halberds, he teaches halberd method, so that children can also practice, halberds will be produced more, if not to rush to make iron shields, the number of the first batch is not only five hundred, the halberd head is complex and time-consuming, a blacksmith to make a blacksmith should take three days, or Deng Ji mention, let other blacksmiths who can not make a hundred refining help, will not need much technical part to let out, division of labor and cooperation, this greatly improves efficiency, two or three months to make a lot.

The halberd handle of Zhang Wu plus the three-foot-long halberd head, a long halberd has zhang eight, Deng Ji picked up one of them, saw the cold light flickering at the halberd head, the tip of the crescent spear is sharp, only the halberd handle wooden handle has only been polished and is not very satisfied, in addition to the tassel is not embellished.

Thinking of the famous weapons such as the Tianfang Painting Halberd, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and the Zhangba Snake Spear in "Romance", Deng Ji had a lot of strength, and asked Zhang Blacksmith: "If you want to wait for an iron-handled halberd to come out, how many days will it take?" ”

Blacksmith Zhang thought about it and replied: "The iron halberd that is integrated into one, others can't help it, I'm afraid it will take more than ten days!" ”

"I practiced the gun before I waited for the next step, but now I have changed the halberd, and I mainly use stabbing attacks, and I want to be swift and accurate, not that I need to sink vigorously, and the iron halberd should be used together?"

Tai Shici interjected from the side, looked at it with a halberd in his hand, and said, "Although this is not good, it can still be used!" ”

The spear is only light and fast, and the long halberd based on thorns should also be like this, Deng Ji has to give up, and he can't just be curious about delaying the blacksmiths to make iron shields for the sword and shield pawns.

The shield was also called "dry" before, the so-called "dry and greeting" is said to be it, before the popularization of iron, mostly made of wood and leather, in addition to rattan shields and copper shields, the Tang Dynasty was renamed "Peng Pai", after the Song Dynasty changed to "brand", the name of the shield began from the Song Dynasty, in addition to going out to hold the hand, there are also shields used on the city walls in this era, which are protective gear for defending the city, and can be used as catapults, but generally have to be in large cities.

Copper shield and iron shield in ancient China was mostly used as a ceremonial guard, although they have strong protective power, but held in the hand, if the area is small, the protective effect will be reduced, if the area is large, the weight will be increased, so it has not been used in combat.

The iron shield made by Deng Jirang for the brave soldier is actually not pure iron, it is the same as the iron shield used by Han Qi, but it requires a thin iron sheet to be made on the shield surface and inlaid on the wooden board, and it also requires the cooperation of blacksmiths and carpenters.

The shape of the shield has rectangular, trapezoidal, round, dovetail-shaped, in order to facilitate the construction of the shield wall in wartime, Deng Jirang made a rectangular shield, three feet wide, four feet high, can cover most of the human body.

The blacksmiths were ready to make shields, and Deng Ji ordered the spears and halberds to be used by the spears among the brave soldiers and the auxiliary soldiers, and the rest was reserved for the young people in the valley to use when they practiced.

On the same day, the gunmen and auxiliary soldiers were ordered, and the halberd guests were taught the halberd method in the valley.

Standing still in front of the stage, after sighing, Tai Shi Ci said to the crowd: "The method of training soldiers, should be the first to practice the formation, you and others are elite warriors who dare to fight, but if you don't practice the array, it will end up like a plate of scattered sand, unfortunately I don't know the military array, I can't teach, now I only pass it on with the halberd method, the world is restless, you should be good at learning it, practice it diligently!" ”

Hearing Tai Shici's words, Deng Ji remembered the neat queue of the army that he saw by chance on TV in later generations, and he felt mighty when he looked at it, although his own brave soldiers were all good hands, they were also chaotic in the battle array, and there was no order at all, relying only on personal martial arts, it was a pity, but the formation at this time had a lot of attention and cooperation, which was different from later generations, and his own family could not let them practice indiscriminately.

Besides, just the people in front of him, there shouldn't be any battle formations, I was still thinking about it, and I heard Tai Shici say again: "The use of the halberd is mostly in the hook, peck, stab, and cut four words, the stabbing technique is not bad, I will try to play others, please take a closer look!" ”

Deng Ji hurriedly opened his eyes wide, carefully watched Tai Shici's demonstration, only to see him walk to the middle of the field, swing out the halberd in his hand, and pull back suddenly after obliquely, the first action was finished, it was extremely simple, he turned around and said:

"The key to the hook method lies in the eyesight rather than the technique, the halberd is more useful than the gun, but the risk is also greater, the reason is that if the hook does not move, trapped in the blade, but put their own family in danger, it is the "hook" method should be used with caution, when you want to use, when the enemy is not easy to counterattack!"

Then, Tai Shici explained the strength and taboos of the "hook" one by one, and let the following catch the right practice. From this day on, Deng Ji's spearmen were changed to halberd pawns, among which the brave pawns and auxiliary soldiers practiced the halberd with the double halberd guests every day, and they have experienced a lot of hardships, knowing that they can live longer in the troubled times, and they also serve Tai Shi Ci's ability, whether they are brave soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and children who are not lazy when they practice, there are many people who will practice by themselves after the practice is over, and they will practice by themselves.

——

It was getting late, Xiao Tianyu sneaked close to the door, pushed open and poked his little head into the house to take a look, no one was there, just right!

At this time, my father was going fishing by the river, my mother took the two concubines and my sister to wash clothes, and my brother, well, I guess he was still studying the back slope, or accompanied his father to the river!

No one in the house is very nice, very good!

"Stop!"

Just about to sneak in, a shout suddenly came from outside the house, Tian Qiao's movements immediately froze, and he immediately had a bitter face, and when he looked back, he really called his brother Tian Lei.

"I've seen my brother!"

Tian Yu is seven years old this year, and he has learned the etiquette from his father, so he is busy bowing to his brother.

"Look at your sweat!" Tian Lei twelve, his brother looked full, and shouted: "But you went to practice halberds with those thieves again?" ”

"Yes," Tian Yu didn't dare to lie when he was caught, so he had to answer honestly, and put on a pitiful look: "Don't dare in the future, my brother will spare my brother, don't tell my father!" ”

"Humph!" Tian Lei was really angry, stepped forward and pointed to his forehead and said: "How many times have I told you, we should calm down and learn, to govern the world and help the people, if you want to learn martial arts, you should also be like my father, start with swords, bows and gentlemen's wear, why do you always not listen, to learn from those thieves what guns, halberds?" Do you want to be a martial artist? ”

Tian Yu was so trained by his tirade that he couldn't say anything, he didn't have the slightest power to justify, he only begged for mercy again and again, looking at his tired appearance, Tian Lei was even more angry, how cute his little brother was before, but he was all bad at learning with those thieves, don't look at him now begging for mercy, he is sure that as long as one behind him can't take care of him, he will immediately run out and go crazy again, and he has been taught repeatedly.

Tian Lei was heartbroken, thinking that he would never be spared again this time, so he said: "Since you don't repent, I will definitely ask my father to punish him for this matter!" ”

"Brother, the younger brother really knows that he is wrong! Don't spare this, don't worry! ”

Listening to Tian Lei's killer offer, Tian Feng's sweat flowed faster, his father Tian Feng was strict, and the ring ruler in the school was still used when he took it home, but he was so scared!

"What's the matter with me?"

Tian Lei was still begging bitterly, and there was a sound outside, and when he turned his head to look, it was his father who had returned home with a fishing rod and a fishing basket, Tian Lei hurriedly stepped forward to take over the things in his hands, and told Tian Yu that he secretly ran out to practice halberd with Xie Yun and other thieves.

Today, Tian Feng was not angry, he was silent for a long time, sighed in his mouth, and said: "Yu'er, when you return home in the future, wash off the stinky sweat on your body first, your mother and sister can't stand the smell, if you come back like this, I will beat you board!" ”

"Huh!" This was very different from the past, Xiao Tianqiao couldn't react for a while, and when his father was already glaring at him, he was busy cheering: "Got it, I'll go wash it!" ”

Tian Lei ran out with his legs, looking indescribably cheerful, Tian Lei couldn't help but be stunned, this is not like the father he knew, he looked up, ate and asked, "Father...... Why did my father spare my second brother? ”

Touching his head, after two years in the thief's den, now the eldest son is almost as tall as himself, Tian Feng smiled bitterly: "Lei'er, it's good for us to be knowledgeable, but the world is in turmoil, learn some martial arts methods, maybe it will be useful, and he will go to love martial arts, it's you, if you want to learn, you can also follow!" ”

Tian Lei was stunned for a moment, but he had always obeyed his father's words and never disobeyed them, but if he wanted to mix with Xie Yun and these thieves, it was absolutely impossible: "Even if you want to learn martial arts to protect yourself, the child should also be a gentleman, and he will not mix with those thieves!" ”

"Whatever you want," Tian Feng smiled bitterly again: "You, your temperament is the same as mine!" ”

When Tian Lei entered the house, Tian Feng looked up and thought about it, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "I'm also covering my ears and stealing the bell, but the little thief hasn't entered the grass hall for more than a month, so I want to find him if he can't play the board and get angry, is it possible to think of a way to coax him back?" ”

Note: Cranberry, also known as turnip, also known as feng, commonly known as kohlrabi, also known as Jiuyingxiang, gassho cabbage, knotted cabbage, wolfberry, kale, blue, eggplant, withdrawn blue, jade manga, etc. It is still a common vegetable to this day. Alfalfa, like clover, is known as the "king of forage", not only has high yield, can improve the soil, and the grass quality is excellent, all kinds of livestock and poultry like to eat, the stems and branches can quickly regenerate a large number of new stems after harvesting, so the hay can be harvested 1 time to 13 times in each growing season, Zhang Qian passed into the Central Plains after passing through the Western Regions.
