"Today's training content, this, this, there are these, a twenty-mile weight-bearing march once, two round-trip Yaoyao piers, one hour of mandarin duck formation conversion training, one hour of individual skill training, one hour of team confrontation, and three hundred physical fitness each. Well, there is also the possibility of being randomly checked by thousands of households, everyone plays the spirit www.biquge.info of the Fun Pavilion, and there will be a war in a few days, and if you want to live, you will give Lao Tzu some thought. ”

Wang Changfu was a little uncomfortable standing in front of the first squad, he was the first time to give training briefings to the soldiers, Chen Xin deliberately wanted to train them, requiring the captain and the captain to take turns to give briefings, on the one hand, to establish a sense of authority, but also to exercise the organizational ability of these grassroots officers.

"Also, the team against us is the third team led by Lord Hedai, and if they lose, they will be fined 100 push-ups, and tomorrow we will help them empty the toilet and clean the barracks, don't be fucking embarrassed. Others, no more. ”

Chen Xin listened beside him, Wang Changfu said everything, but the effect of mobilization was average, and it was qualified to be able to get to this Cheng dù for the first time.

Today is the sixteenth day of the first month, all parts of the Ming Dynasty are still in the New Year, including the cabinet is not working, Chen Xin's soldiers have been training for more than ten days, Yang Yunnong returned to Weihaiwei on the fifth day of the first month, heard that his goods were robbed, he was angry, the loss of hundreds of taels of silver, not to mention, the face was also stepped on, and he went to Wendeng County on the sixth day of the first month of anger, and discussed with the county about the suppression of bandits, he also knew that Tongtianliang was now crowded, hoping to pull Chengshanwei and Jinghaiwei together.

Commander Yang was angry, and the people below began to move, and Zeng Qianhu of Zuo Qianhu came to Mazidun on the seventh day of the first month, ready to transfer some people out, and after he finished selecting people, he came to find Chen Xin to see how many people he could produce. Chen Xin took the opportunity to ask for some weapons, he knew that Weihaiwei had to hand over eighteen pairs of bows to the military department every year, how could there be a lot, his own bows and arrows were just not much, Zeng Qianhu promised to give him three pairs when he sent troops.

Yang commanded the tenth day of the first month to come back from Wendeng County, followed by the history of Wendeng County, heard that Cheng Shanwei and Jing Haiwei were also robbed during the Spring Festival, they were all furious, and agreed to crack down on this Tongtianliang together.

As soon as Commander Yang came back, he was in a hurry, and asked each thousand households to send troops immediately, and the three thousand households dragged their feet, including the people who had just called a dunker in the left thousand households, and after a while they ran back to most of them, and the weapons were sent for a while and then said that they were gone, these people refused to sell their lives, and they refused to go out for a long time, and thousands of households were very sad, and they replied to the commander that the military households were busy with the New Year, and it was not easy to dispatch.

The order to send troops was changed three times, and finally set on the eighteenth day of the first month, Lord Yang was ruthless, saying that if there were any escapees, they would all be beheaded, these several tosses down, Manwei Haiwei knew that Lord Yang wanted to open up Tianliang, Chen Xin originally asked for secrecy, for fear of leaking the time of sending troops, but now it is already known to everyone, and it is the same as that of Salhu, and the Ming army has not yet set off The wild boar skin has been clear.

But no matter what, there is finally a time, Chen Xin can only shake his head when he thinks of these guards, and first go to the port to check on the new sailors, a total of more than 50 people, Scar and Wang Zugui are leading them to familiarize themselves with the ship, all of which are recruited from other nearby guards and fishermen, and more than 20 people are still at home for the New Year, it is estimated that it will take a few days to be in place, Chen Xin mobilized as usual, and described his great future, these people are all looking at the monthly salary of one or two or five cents a month, Scar and Wang Zugui and other five people are the old people of the original lucky boat, They all have a fierce spirit, which can completely suppress them.

The most important thing at the moment is to suppress the bandits, Chen Xin only hurriedly checked the sailors, and then went to check the dry food system, and then went to the craftsman shop to see it again, Tang Zuoxiang according to Chen Xin's method, spent a lot of materials, and finally made two turtledoves, Wang Huzi made two pairs of iron armor, fortunately, the iron materials are from Dengzhou, otherwise it will cost nearly a hundred taels of silver.

Wang Huzi diligently handed over the iron scale armor and said to Chen Xin: "My lord, these two pairs of iron armor were recently rushed by the villain, with a total weight of thirty-five catties, twenty-two catties of fine iron, and nearly forty catties wearing a bright helmet and iron arms. ”

Chen Xin took it and took a look, this pair of scale armor is made of square iron plates, each piece is a square with a size of about two inches and slightly more, the adjacent two pieces have partial overlap, a big round heart guard in the middle, all the armor pieces have a slight bulge outward, there is a certain amplitude, not a piece of light plate, there should be a good unloading effect, Wang Huzi is really doing it with his heart, he mentioned it, it is indeed heavy enough, but the soldiers have a load on weekdays, if they are only worn during combat, it should not be a big problem.

"Mr. Wang's iron armor is well done, have you made all the helmets of the soldiers?"

Wang Huzi was praised by Chen Xin, glanced at Tang Zuoxiang proudly, and immediately replied to Chen Xin: "I sent fifty bright helmets before fifteen, and I can finish the rest today." ”

Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Wang has done a good job, hard work, today you are promoted to the head of the craftsman, make more iron armor, is there anything you need my help with." ”

"It's just that there are fewer people, and the villain still needs a few helpers." Wang Huzi only has one apprentice to help on weekdays, and the other three have all helped Tang Zuoxiang with muskets, and he is not too satisfied with this.

Chen Xindao: "I'll add manpower to you, but you can't just let them do it, you have to teach them how to make it." ”

Wang Hu pouted for a moment, these crafts are all his own eaters, if everyone knows it, he won't be popular. But Chen Xin spoke again, and he didn't know how to refuse.

"Mr. Wang, don't worry, I know that you all rely on your skills to eat, and I won't let you teach in vain." Chen Xin glanced at the five craftsmen, saw that several people were listening, and continued: "In the future, you will calculate your income, and you will be charged by the piece, no matter how much you do, how much silver you can have, I will set a method for you, and bring apprentices to earn more." ”

Tang Zuoxiang recently saw that Wang Huzi was not pleasing to the eye, and when he saw that Wang Huzi was angry with Chen Xinyi, he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly continued: "My lord, please say, the villain is all obedient." ”

"What you are currently setting is a junior craftsman, an intermediate craftsman, and a craftsman, this is your craftsman level, each level has different treatment, as long as you are not punished, the basic monthly salary of each level remains the same, it has always been there, if you can bring apprentices, I will add the master's monthly salary to you, the more apprentices you bring, the higher the master's monthly salary level, Mr. Wang will be responsible for the armor making alone in the future, the more armor you produce, the more your bonus, and it will be far more than the piecework silver you make."

Wang Huzi heard that it was such a good deal, and he didn't want to disobey Chen Xin, so he quickly agreed.

Chen Xin said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Tang, you are now in the prime of life, and the system is okay, if you are old, how can you compare to the next generation, I will give you the master's monthly salary, as long as you add it, you can only guide the apprentices in the future, and you can earn a good income by moving your mouth, isn't it more cost-effective than making it yourself." ”

Tang Zuoxiang also understood, he quickly knelt down and said: "Thank you for the understanding of the adults of Qianhu and the rest of the people, and for setting such a rule, the villain thanked the adults on behalf of everyone." ”

Wang Huzi was preempted by Tang Zuoxiang again, and also knelt down to thank him, Chen Xin helped up a few craftsmen, and he specially set the master's salary for them, just so that they could bring apprentices, and share their skills, and slowly set the standard, otherwise everyone will make it according to their own experience, and the assembly line model in his plan will never be realized.

After a few more words of encouragement, he called Nie Hong, took two pairs of armor and accessories, and went out to the training place of the combat team. He gave two pieces of clothing to Dai Zhenggang and Zhu Guobin, and asked them to wear them when they fought, Zhu Guobin and Dai Zhenggang couldn't put it down, this armor is the real regular army equipment, and the private possession of weapons is nothing, and the private possession of armor and bows and arrows can be regarded as rebellion.

After the training on the 16th, Chen Xin convened a meeting of officers above the captain level in the official room and announced the dispatch of troops on the 18th.

Chen Xin then asked Zhou Shifa to confirm the information one last time.

Zhou Shifa stood up and spoke: "This time, the idea is to reach the sky, the cottage is in Qishan, the original number is about 300 people, a year ago, they robbed merchants and nearby big households one after another, and the grain obtained was about 1,000 stones, attracting many homeless people and small groups of bandits to cling, and now the number is close to 600. ”

Everyone listened quietly, although there were many bandits in this group, but the three guards had to send troops, and they were not afraid of many others.

"It is about forty miles from the Weihai Acropolis to Qishan, the mountain is about twenty miles longitudinal and horizontal, there are many water sources near the route, and there is a Wuzhi River. There are five main entrances to the mountain, and there are two entrances from the north, because the Tongtianliang has been active everywhere recently, and we have not entered the mountain. The troops from Weihai are expected to camp near the top of the golden line and the Dragon King Temple on the first day, and after crossing the top of the golden line on the second day, they will meet with the reinforcements of the Chengshan guard, and on the third day, they will enter the Qishan Mountain. ”

Dai Zhenggang asked, "What did you just say about Lord Yang's plan?" ”

Zhou Shifa said: "No, we guessed it ourselves, Lord Yang has only set the time for entering the army so far." ”

Dai Zhenggang snorted, and Zhu Guobin interjected and asked, "How about the weapons of Tongtianliang's people?" Whether there are bows and arrows, how many thieves are old bandits? ”

"Six hundred, it is said that the weapons are not in order, and a few pairs of bows and arrows were robbed during the robbery a year ago. Among the 600 people, more than 30 are old bandits brought over from the Kunlun Mountains, about 200 are attached to the small group of habitual bandits, and the rest are homeless or broken households. ”

Zhu Guobin nodded and said, "Got it." He turned his head again and asked Chen Xin, "My lord, are we going to act with the Weisuo Army or march alone." And we don't have a team to guard the village."

Chen Xin muttered: "I will try to march alone, and try not to mix with the Weisuo army." Forget about staying behind, there are still dozens of sailors here. ”

After the two asked, Chen Xin asked about the preparation of the grain, and Liu Minyou also took care of the logistics of the army, and also reported, and the grain was ready. The equipment is in charge of Dai Zhenggang, and the weapons are all early, mainly divided into twenty pieces of cotton armor, and the equipment is still four pieces short of both teams, and the helmet can be a pair of helmets. In the end, it was given ten pieces of cotton armor to the first team and the third team, and the two newly played turtledoves were given to the firearms team's team Zheng and Dai Zhenggang.

Finally, Zhu Guobin, who was in charge of operations, repeated the use of the Mandarin Duck Array in different terrains.

Chen Xin's small army has been preparing for a long time, everything has been prepared, and there is nothing more to say, so the troops are scheduled to eat at the hour and set off for the Acropolis at two o'clock.
