Chapter 26: The Song of the Zhou Family's Army

Zhou Xian arranged for ten people to make revolvers and ten people to make bullets, and if there were not enough people, he asked Zhao Laoyan to recruit a few more people.

As for the production method of small things like springs, Zhou Xian also taught them to these twenty craftsmen.

After Zhou Xian saw that these craftsmen showed a look of enlightenment, he asked Zhao Laoyan to arrange a workshop for them to study and make revolvers.

After explaining the affairs of the arsenal, Zhou Xian came directly to the Eastern District Barracks.

When I walked into the barracks, I saw that the soldiers had put on the uniforms made by the garment factory, and the soldiers in the military uniforms looked full of energy and had a little modern feeling of the army.

Now the soldiers are undergoing various trainings, some running, some walking in formation, and those practicing assassination with flintlock pistol bayonets.

Now 10,000 soldiers have been given flintlock pistols, which are taken out for training when they practice and placed in dormitories when they are not practicing.

Bullets and gunpowder were kept in the ammunition room and were distributed to the soldiers only when it was necessary to fight.

Zhou Xian came to the command room of the barracks, Daniel Zhang was also inside, and when he saw Zhou Xian coming, Daniel Zhang shouted enthusiastically: "Adult, you are here, I haven't seen you for several days." ”

Zhou Xian looked at the orange military emblem on Daniel Zhang's military uniform and said with a smile: "Daniel Zhang, you really look like a big general in this military uniform. ”

Daniel Zhang laughed and said, "This is still a blessing to the adults, and we Zhou Jiajun have made such beautiful military uniforms, and when we were just sent two days ago, we soldiers were reluctant to wear them." ”

Zhou Xian laughed for a while and then got down to business: "I came this time to make a military song for my army, and after having a military song, it can enhance the centripetal force and cohesion of the troops, develop the style of the troops' orders and prohibitions, and also have the effect of appeasing the soldiers and stabilizing their emotions." ”

Daniel Zhang was also stunned when he heard that the military song was so useful.

He didn't know these things, he had only trained soldiers according to the manual written by Zhou Xian in the past few months, and the effect was very good, so Daniel Zhang was convinced of everything Zhou Xian said.

Zhou Xian said to Daniel Zhang: "Now you go and gather all the officers above the squad leader and squad leader, and I will teach them to sing the military song of my Zhou family army." ”

Daniel Zhang excitedly agreed and walked out, and after about a moment of incense, Daniel Zhang walked in with two hundred people.

One hundred of them were squad leaders, as well as ten regiment commanders, thirty battalion commanders, thirty company commanders, and thirty platoon commanders.

These officers walked into the command room and gave Zhou Xian a military salute when they saw him.

Zhou Xian looked at these officers in military uniforms and returned a military salute and said, "Everyone sit down, I came to you today to teach you to sing the military song of our Zhou family's army." ”

When the officers heard Zhou Xian say that they would teach them to sing military songs, they all looked surprised, and since everyone was an officer, there was no confusion.

Zhou Xian looked at these officers with satisfaction and said: "The military song has the effect of calming the soldiers and stabilizing the mood, and you will know the benefits of the military song after the soldiers can sing the military song." ”

Then Zhou Xian sang the song that Liu Bin had sung when he was studying (we are soldiers).

After the singing, there was warm applause from the officers below, and then a loud singing voice came from the command room.

After singing it, the officers all felt their blood boiling, and they were eager to go to a big battle with the enemy immediately, and a patriotic enthusiasm spontaneously arose.

Zhou Xian saw that the officers all showed high fighting spirit, nodded with satisfaction and said: "After you learn it, you will teach our military song to all the soldiers, and in the future, this will be the military song of our Zhou family's army, and every soldier who joins must be able to sing it." ”

Then Zhou Xian took out a pen and paper and put it on the stage, and began to write the lyrics of the military song, after writing, Zhou Xian pasted the lyrics on the wall, and asked the officers to take pen and paper to copy them down, and slowly practice and teach them to the soldiers after they returned.

After Zhou Xian and the other officers copied it, he said to everyone: "There is one more thing today that needs to be managed by everyone, that is, the problem of hygiene, I found that there are many people who do not like to take a bath and defecate in the open, which will attract the plague." ”

"So I decided to build two bathhouses in the barracks, where each soldier would take a bath at least once every two days, and ten more public toilets would be built, and all soldiers would not be allowed to defecate in the open, and those caught would be dealt with by military law, and the canteen would have to give the soldiers boiled water, and the soldiers would not be allowed to drink raw water, and with these three measures, there would be no plague."

When the officers heard Zhou Xian say that the barracks were prone to plague, they were shocked.

I was relieved to hear that the construction of bathhouses, public latrines, and boiled water could prevent the plague.

After making up his mind to go back, he must ask the soldiers to follow the instructions of the adults, let the soldiers take more baths, go to the toilet to urinate, and drink only boiled water.

After Zhou Xian said this, he let the officers at all levels go back, leaving only Daniel Zhang alone.

Zhou Xian said to Daniel Zhang: "The health problem is a big problem, we must grasp it firmly, we can't have a fluke mentality, once there is a plague in the barracks, our Zhou family army will be finished." ”

Seeing Zhou Xian's careful explanation, Daniel Zhang immediately saluted Zhou Xian with a military salute and said loudly: "Guarantee the completion of the task and never leave hidden dangers." ”

"You can build a bathhouse and a public toilet according to my drawings." After speaking, he handed over the drawings that had been drawn to Daniel Zhang.

Zhou Xian gave Daniel Zhang a structural drawing of a bathhouse and a public toilet in the later eighties.

Build a large pool next to the bathhouse, and then let the arsenal build a big iron bucket and some iron pipes, faucets and the like, and the big iron bucket is the boiler.

Later, when the weather is cold, let people boil the boiler and boil hot water for a bath.

Public toilets are built into pit sits.

A large pond was dug next to the toilet and cement was built into a biogas digester, which could be used to boil water in the future.

Daniel Zhang looked at these two structural diagrams, and through Zhou Xian's teaching, he had already understood the construction method.

Zhou Xian walked out of the barracks after arranging, Zhou Xian walked on the road, and everyone in Monkey Mountain Village was busy working, some building houses, some building cement roads, and some building squares.

Zhou Xian looked at all this and smiled slightly, these were all created by himself after crossing over, and he felt a little complacent.

Zhou Xian came directly to the residential area of the West District, now houses are being built everywhere in the West District, the cement road has been repaired, Zhou Xian stepped on the cement road, and suddenly had a feeling as if he had returned to the afterlife.

Now in charge of the construction of the West District is Li San and a 30-year-old craftsman named Zhou Peng.

He was an old craftsman introduced by Zhou Fugui when he was repairing the Zhou Mansion at the beginning, and he was also honest and a little cultured, so Zhou Xian asked him and Li San to be the general leaders of the construction of the Western District.

Zhou Xian came to a small two-story building, which was built according to the reinforced concrete structure of later generations.

It happened that Li San and Zhou Peng were there, so he asked them, "How is the construction of the Western District now?" ”
