Pu Yuan originally just wanted to honestly wait for Liu Chan at the door to finish his work, and then come out to see him.

Didn't expect him to be put in at all.

As soon as he entered the barracks, he saw many murderous men not far away, holding the halberd he had just gotten in his hand, neatly slashing in the direction where he was.

"Kill ——!"

"Ah!!h Pu Yuan was so frightened that he directly hugged his head and squatted on the spot.

Liu Chan and Chen Zhi, who was personally instructing the Red Star Army soldiers to use their halberds, turned their heads and looked at them a little speechless.

You have traveled all over the world alone for so many years, and you dared to ask the soldiers for directions last time, why are you so timid at this time?

Liu Chan walked up to Pu Yuan: "Get up, they are so far away from you, and they won't hurt you, what's so scary?" ”

"Uh...... The villain has been afraid of seeing blood since he was a child, and when he sees the killing, he is dizzy and his legs are weak. Pu Yuan stood up with a wincing face, his eyes only staring at Liu Chan's shoes, not daring to look at the soldiers who were pointing their weapons at him.

Liu Chan: "......"

A sturdy blacksmith who specializes in crafting weapons, afraid of blood? Afraid of killing?

The big wooden box behind you, which is much taller than a person, is not something that ordinary people can carry!

"The last time I practiced alone, why didn't I see you scared?"

Pu Yuan was relieved when he saw that the halberd-wielding soldiers turned to the other side, and his speech gradually returned to normal: "The last prince drill did not point to the villain, and the villain will be fine if he doesn't feel the killing intent." ”

And the soldiers just now were right in his direction, and a murderous halberd slashed out, almost scaring him......

Liu Chan rubbed his eyes, how strange he let himself catch up.

Uncle Wang is such a skilled person, it is said that he should be very hygienic, but he often makes himself look like a homeless person, and the smell on his body is even a little spicy.

Pu Yuan is even more outrageous, a guy who builds murderous weapons all day long, actually said that he is afraid of blood and murder......

"Who is he?" Lao Liu came from behind at this time and asked curiously.

The son often finds some strange people, although they are all strange, such as the dirty doctor who treats Fa Zheng, and the Yu Fu who loves to love people.

But they all have their own abilities, so Lao Liu is very curious about who is carrying a big wooden box this time.

"Father, this person's name is Pu Yuan, a native of Linqiong, Shu County, and he is a master of forging weapons." Liu Chan said with a smile, "If we have the service of this person today, we will definitely be able to greatly increase the benefits of weapons." ”

When Pu Yuan heard this, he hurriedly bowed his head and bowed: "The villain visited the king of Hanzhong, and the prince praised and praised falsely." ”

"Oh?" Lao Liu was also interested when he heard it.

The iron ore reserves in Jingyi Erzhou are not abundant, and the large number of weapons needed to fight the war has always given Lao Liu a headache.

Whether it is a sword, spear, gun, or any other weapon, unless it is a "special offering" used by generals, most of the weapons used by ordinary soldiers will be scrapped after a fierce battle.

In addition to the inevitable wear and tear in battle, the poor quality of weapon casting is also one of the reasons.

If there are excellent craftsmen who can improve the quality of weapons, they can also save the consumption of iron ore to a large extent.

"I want to set up a special place for him, Guanghui excellent blacksmith, and order him to study weapon cast......ing," Liu Chan told Lao Liu about his thoughts.

"While researching and creating sharp weapons for military generals, he also trained other blacksmiths by the way, and then recruited apprentices. For weapons such as guns and halberds, the dimensions of each part were set by Pu Yuan, and the others built 'standard parts' strictly according to the size.

"The carpenters who make the spear shafts and halberd shafts are all made in accordance with the regulations, and the overseers are arranged to measure whether the dimensions are qualified, so that the qualified parts only need to be assembled afterwards. Similar crossbow arrows, bows and arrows, etc., can be made in this way.

"The so-called can make perfect, every time the things made are of average size, even if people with little talent, they will definitely be able to do better and better, and they will be able to speed up the production of weapons. In the event of damage, it is also easier to replace parts during repairs. ”

Lao Liu nodded again and again when he heard this: "Very good, just follow what Wu'er said." ”

Pu Yuan's eyes also lit up: "Wonderful, since I grew up in a mine, why can't I think of it."

The standardized and modular production that Liu Chan mentioned is actually nothing new.

Not to mention the concept only put forward by modern Western countries, as early as the pre-Qin period, this mode of production has been widely used in weapons, military supplies, building materials and other fields.

At the peak of the Western Han Dynasty, not only did an organizational structure similar to "arsenal" appear, but other handicraft production began to use this more efficient production model.

However, this mode of production is more suitable for those who have the ability to "concentrate on doing great things", so with the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, warlords separating their territories, the collapse of order, and the sharp decline in grain production and population, this mode of production was either actively or passively abandoned.

More flexible small-scale family workshop production is back in the mainstream.

But now with the curved plough, the efficiency of farming has increased significantly, liberating a considerable part of the labor force and making it possible to re-develop a large-scale and standardized production model.

In addition to the improvement of talent in forging and farming, Uncle Zhuge Detail Maniac's style of acting also had a great impact on Liu Chan.

For example, before the form of law to stipulate how deep the river mud is dug and how deep the stone is measured, this is not a standardized concept.

Sincerely and fearfully accompanied the king and the crown prince of Hanzhong to talk for a while, Pu Yuan suddenly patted his head.

He put down the exaggerated big wooden box behind him: "The prince ordered the villain to build an iron spear, and the villain first made a sample overnight, and the prince saw whether the weight and style were appropriate, and the villain officially built it." ”

Then, he took out an iron spear from the box, a real iron spear made of iron throughout.

Liu Chan was taken aback, so fast? Even though it was a prototype, this speed was exaggerated enough.

Pu Yuan raised his gun in both hands and bowed down and handed it to Liu Chan: "Please give it a try to the prince to see if there is anything unsatisfactory." ”

Liu Chan stretched out his hand and grabbed it, this iron spear still has a lot of weight, when there are twenty or thirty catties.

Pu Yuan can maintain this posture and raise the gun steadily, but in fact, the strength is still very large, and I don't know why he is so timid.

The shaft of this iron spear is not the shiny smooth iron rod that Liu Chan thought, but a rather rough bamboo shape.

However, as an expert in playing with guns and spears since childhood, Liu Chan knew that this structure was more convenient to use as soon as he started.

The all-over smooth structure is beautiful, but when you stab, you will be relieved by sliding in your hand.

The wooden material is not obvious, but if it is made of iron, it will have a great impact if it is polished to a smooth mirror.

Buzz——!

Liu Chan's spear was raised, and then his hands shook, and the phoenix that was commonly used in the trick nodded and used, and the iron spear roared, like a fierce beast roaring.

The drop of the spearhead is much smaller than that of the wooden one, but it can still complete this action, and it is obvious that Pu Yuan has increased the toughness of the spear body to the maximum.

According to Liu Chan's request, the spearhead part was lengthened in order to break the heavy armor, and Pu Yuan obviously understood Liu Chan's needs very well.

But after all, it's a trial work in a hurry, and the overall construction is still very rough.

But to be honest, this has already crushed the finished products of many blacksmiths......

"Yes, just build it like this." Liu Chanxi said.

Lao Liu frowned and said: "Even though the iron cast spear is greatly powerful and durable, but with such a weight, isn't it extremely easy to get tired?" ”

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Father just rest assured, the son has his own measure." ”

He has a set of trait bonuses, what weapon is he afraid of?

And Zhao Yun, who also noticed this, stared at the spear with good eyes at this time: "Can the prince borrow this spear from the ministers?" ”

"Huh? Uncle Zhao has nothing to look at. Liu Chan handed over the spear.

Zhao Yun took the iron spear, and he also couldn't put it down, after all, Liu Chan's spear martial arts were all taught by Zhao Yun, and his taste for weapons was naturally similar.

Zhao Yun, who is over the same age as Ma Chao, is effortless to dance the spear at this time, the man and the gun are one, and he moves like a dragon.

"This spear...... Can it be lightened by half? ”

Although he liked this spear very much, he knew that if he fought in this way, he would be tired if he did not reach dozens of battles, and if he could not win quickly, he would be dangerous.

If Zhao Yun is still in his prime, it will naturally be fine, but now he is older after all.

Pu Yuan thought about it: "If the spear body is changed to thin and covered with bamboo pieces, it should be done." ”

Zhao Yunxi said: "Can you also play a shot for me after the prince?" ”

Pu Yuan arched his hand and said, "Obey." ”

Liu Chan's expression was subtle, although it was slightly different, but it seemed that Zhao Zilong still preferred the gentian bright silver spear...... Turning around, I also sent a snake spear and a glaive knife to the third uncle and the second uncle.

If it is not suitable, it will be a small gift, like they have been fighting for many years, they will definitely have their own proportions, and they will not forcibly carry inappropriate weapons to the battlefield.

If so, would it work...... That just made up for a small regret in my heart.

How could Zhang Sanye not have a snake spear, and how could Guan Erye not have the Qinglong Yanyue Knife?!

……

After the Red Star Army selected the troops according to their strengths, Liu Chan carried out the final appointment and dismissal of the generals.

The previous method of being completely elected by soldiers began to have some problems after the number of people increased.

When soldiers are promoted to generals, they often think more about bravery and people.

And things like "tactical strategy" and "big picture" are such things as "tactical strategy" and "big picture", and it is often difficult for soldiers to agree on it, or even ignore this important ability.

As a result, Liu Chan turned the complete promotion into a model in which soldiers nominated grassroots generals, Liu Chan nominated senior generals according to his meritorious performance and ability, and finally formally appointed after being reviewed by the soldiers' committee and there were no major problems.

In the battle phase when leading troops to harass Cao's army and blockade its scouts, as well as when Chai Rong advanced and organized soldiers to kill out of the fire, Li Er, Ding Feng, Qian Duo and others all performed outstandingly.

Hu Li and other members of the cavalry also performed meritorious service in the battle of ambushing Cao's army and blocking Mengda.

Li Er was appointed as General Chixing, although he was just a miscellaneous general, but the four big characters of General Chixing made him feel that his life had reached its peak...... The mood was overwhelmingly excited.

Ding Feng succeeded as Captain Chixing Zuo, which was still lower than his original general, but he was also full of red light. The prince's attention and his brothers' recognition of him as a general of Eastern Wu moved him.

Cavalry captain Hu Li was promoted to the right lieutenant of Akashi.

The longer and stronger, the stronger and stronger, and the money that takes the lead in each battle is promoted to the army.

Other generals have also been appointed.

After the regular army was subdivided into various specialized arms, the changes in the formation became more abundant.

The promotion of Quyuan Plough is almost on track, and when the Fa is healed, Uncle Zhuge can be more relaxed, and then he can go to Uncle Zhuge to ask for a new formation.

Maybe it can also speed up the advent of the "Zhuge Eight Arrays".

……

After that, Liu Chan ordered someone to select a careful and skillful man to send to Uncle Wang and his subordinate medical craftsmen, briefly trained in bandaging, hemostasis and other skills, and served as "nurses" during war, and selected two of his medical craftsmen as military doctors.

It further improves all aspects of the support of the Red Star Army.

At the same time, the papermaking workshop and the forging workshop of Puyuan have also been launched and started one after another.

As for the affairs of the military academy, although the progress is relatively slow, it has also been approved by Lao Liu and Zhuge Liang, and the details are discussed by Shang Shutai.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun began to mobilize troops to the south in batches, and silently stationed in Qianwei, Jiangyang, and Ba County.

Finally, in the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, in April, Nanzhong's surnames Yonghong and Meng Shu united with Gaoding, the king of Yueyunyi, and Zhu Bao was too guarded, and he brazenly raised troops!
