Chapter 147: Army of a Hundred Battles, Forge Workshop
What did the court give them? What else is there but exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes that force them to breathe, except for their lives and deaths? Those corrupt officials and corrupt officials have long made them unable to live.
If no one raised the banner of rebellion, they would even want to raise it themselves, and now, if someone does it, of course they will follow it to the death.
Not to mention, these days, there are special people to teach them to read and write, and to understand the truth. The more literate they are, the more they feel that the world is unfair and that the court is corrupt and incompetent.
This is what Yun Ze specially asked Han Long to do this, he not only has to have a strong army, but also a strong army with thoughts. In addition to military training, there should also be political education.
If, these people have their own thoughts, their own beliefs, when they come to the battlefield, they will be a strong army, an army that has always been invincible.
In addition to Chen Qinglian and Guo Ming, even Zhao Donglai also ran over, and several of them admired Yun Ze more and more, and they used to have a Yun brother with Yun Ze, but now they, including Han Long, will also respectfully call Yun Ze Yun Gongzi.
Because, now Yun Ze has become their backbone, and they faintly feel that Yun Ze is the one who wants to do great things. Moreover, they also believe that Yun Ze can do great things.
What they have to do is to achieve a career under Yun Ze and work for Yun Ze loyally.
Didn't you see that Yun Ze has only been in Longtou Mountain for a few months, and the entire Longtou Mountain has undergone earth-shaking changes! Everyone's life is getting better day by day. They believe that in the future, the life of the whole people in the world will get better and better. Of course, that was under Yun Ze's leadership.
"Yun Gongzi, you are here...... You're here to see how you're training! Or...... Let's let them give you a walkthrough! ”
Chen Qinglian said to Yun Ze with excitement on his face. The rest of Guo Ming and Zhao Donglai were also full of eagerness, as if they wanted Yun Ze to see their training results.
The group of people in front of them, after several months of training, have reached the level of order and prohibition, although they cannot be called an iron army, but they are definitely an army with clear discipline.
They even felt that as long as they pulled everyone out, even in the face of the same number of court troops, they could easily defeat them, or even wipe them out, and the casualties on their side were not large.
After all, they have the advanced equipment given by Yun Ze. Especially the fire thunder, and the mountain firecracker thunder. It's a terrifying weapon.
After this period of storage, the amount has been huge, but the saltpeter and sulfur in several surrounding prefectures and cities have been purchased by them.
Yun Ze is actually having a headache with this problem, if he can find a saltpeter and sulfur mine, this problem can be solved. Moreover, he had already asked Han Long to send people to inquire about several surrounding continents.
It won't be long before they will be able to get the word back, and once the news comes back, they will do everything they can to mine it.
"Good...... Then take a look......" Yun Ze nodded to Chen Qinglian, Guo Ming, and Zhao Donglai.
When the three of them heard this, they immediately ran back to their team as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. There were more than 2,300 people in total, and according to the three-three system formulated by Yun Ze, they were divided into three battalions.
Chen Qinglian, Guo Ming, and Zhao Donglai served as the commanders of the three battalions respectively, and Han Long was their regiment, leading the 2,000 people in front of him. They will be the first new force in Yunze to pacify the troubled times.
Hearing that Yun Ze was testing the results of their training, the eyes of those sergeants were full of excitement and excitement, and everyone was in high spirits. Everyone wants to behave well in front of Yun Ze.
The drill is mainly based on queue training, as well as fighting drills, and formation drills. After a few hours of drilling, Yun Ze nodded with satisfaction.
Although it has only been trained for a few months, it is definitely very good to be able to have today's results, and the combat effectiveness of this army is definitely not weak. Now, what they lack is to conduct actual combat.
Now, there is a chance to fight, Yun Ze came to Longtou Mountain to give everyone a chance to fight, of course, to solve the threat of Weihu Mountain and Tianluo Mountain.
If these two bandit mountains are not removed, it will really make it difficult for people to sleep and eat. A sneak attack on the fiefdom, although the bandits were beaten to the bone, but who knows if they will make trouble.
Moreover, Yun Ze mainly wanted to test the combat effectiveness of these new troops.
As for the weapons and equipment he possessed, he was temporarily ahead of this era, but Yun Ze was not satisfied with this. He wanted weapons and equipment that were even more surpassing those of his time.
He must have enough scientific and technological strength to sweep the entire era. After watching the drill, Yun Ze said a few words of encouragement and started the pre-war mobilization.
When everyone heard that they were going to destroy Weihu Mountain and Heavenly Wolf Mountain, everyone's eyes were full of anticipation, and after this period of training, everyone was aroused. They want to prove themselves in a fight.
Let your impatient fighting spirit be vented.
Seeing everyone's excitement and high fighting spirit, Yun Ze was even more satisfied. Subsequently, he went to visit the arsenal built by Han Long.
Swords, bows, and firearms are being built in a separate place, not only for fear of causing an explosion, but also to prevent leakage.
Although only more than six hundred swords were made, each one was extremely sharp. It is close to the material of stainless steel. The techniques that Yun Ze taught to those blacksmith masters had improved their forging skills by an unknown number of times.
The blacksmith at the head was selected by Yun Ze from among the victims, his name was Tie Niu, and he was a well-known blacksmith before. It's just that after the disaster at home, he fled to Danyang City with his wife and children.
At that time, he himself caught a severe cold because of saving his wife and children, and almost died of illness, and his wife and children were also sick, and the family of three was about to die.
If it weren't for Yun Ze's intake, as well as treating him and sending him medicine, he would have died with his wife and children by now. Therefore, Yun Ze transferred him to Longtou Mountain to forge weapons, and he readily agreed.
And the forging techniques that Yun Ze gave him made him very happy. The forging technology has also been improved several times.
Seeing Yun Ze come in, he greeted him with excitement on his face. Pointing to the rows of war knives on the side, he said proudly to Yun Ze: "Childe, the war knives made with your technology are really too ...... Awesome! ”
He can't describe it in words, only in words.
"After this war knife is opened, it can definitely blow hair and cut hair, sharpen iron like clay, and ordinary war knives can be cut with one knife. It's a pity that there are not enough raw materials for the time being, otherwise, we can forge the steel that Gongzi said. ”
His face was full of pity and helplessness.
Yun Ze looked at the honest man in his thirties in front of him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tie Niu, don't worry, I will help you find all the materials you want, you just need to improve your skills now." One day, you will be famous! ”
When Tie Niu heard this, he hurriedly said a little shy and frightened: "Where, even if you want to be famous for eternity, it is you, Childe, we all use Childe's method." How dare we go down through the ages! ”
He touched his head, and his face was full of straightforwardness. Seeing him like this, Han Long, Guo Ming, Chen Qinglian and Zhao Donglai, who were following behind him, let out a chuckle.
Zhao Donglai was the first to stand up, and said to Tie Niu with a smile: "You fool, I wanted to take a war knife from you before, but you didn't want to, but now that the son is here, now, you should give the war knife to one of our brothers!" ”
When Tie Niu heard this, he immediately stopped in front of Zhao Donglai, and said with a serious face: "This thing was built by Gongzi, how to distribute it, of course, it is up to Gongzi to have the final say, before Gongzi speaks, none of you can take ......"
Looking at the appearance of his calf protector, Yun Ze chuckled lightly, and his heart was also relieved.
Zhao Donglai looked at Yun Ze pleadingly at this time and said, "Childe, you just let Tie Niu give me a war knife, that thing is too good...... I ......"
He was like that, he was obviously greedy for a battle knife for a long time, such a sharp battle knife, as Zhao Dong, who practiced martial arts, definitely wanted to have one, not only him, but even Han Long and the others looked at Yun Ze with anticipation.
Yun Ze didn't come before, they wanted to ask Tie Niu for a handful, but this guy didn't give it at all. They're not easy to grab either. Now that Yun Ze is over, a few people can't wait.
Yun Ze smiled, walked to the row of war knives, he picked up one of them, checked it, and waved it again, and a dragon-like sound sounded from the battle knife.
Hearing this voice, Han Long and the others were even more eager, and even Su Qianmo on the side had fiery eyes. She is a master of swords, and of course she knows the quality of weapons.
Just hearing the sound of this dragon groaning is enough to prove the quality of this knife. She even felt the urge to get a handful. Even if she is a master of using a sword, it doesn't mean that she doesn't like this knife.
After all, the blade looks as wide as a sword, with more than two fingers, and a slanted tip at the length. The pattern on the blade is very beautiful. It even looks a little like a sword.
Yun Ze flicked the blade of the knife and put it to his ear to listen, the crisp dragon groan made the eyes of the others even hotter.
Yun Ze put down the knife under his hand, and looked at the row of knives again, he walked to one of them, and waved it again, this time the sound of the dragon's groan was more pleasant than the previous one.
Under the flick, the crisp sound made everyone's eyes light up, this knife obviously made the one just now even better. Yun Ze nodded with satisfaction, he handed the knife to Su Qianmo, and smiled:
"This knife is for you...... It should suit you better than your sword......"
Su Qianmo's previous sword was lost, and she never found a satisfactory one, Yun Ze chose the best one for her in terms of appearance and material among the many knives.
Whether this knife is forged or materialized, it is the best knife among the knives that Yun Ze has seen, and he gave it to Su Qianmo.
Su Qianmo looked at Yun Ze, a blush swelled up on her face, her heart was sweet, she took the knife obediently and put it away.
Seeing this scene, Tie Niu on the side hurriedly brought Su Qianmo a matching scabbard. The four Han Long on the side were full of envy, but they looked at Yun Ze and Su Qianmo, but they had a look of gossip and ridicule.
It's as if you've discovered some incredible secret.
Seeing this scene, Su Qianmo kicked the youngest Zhao Donglai's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "What are you laughing at, if you want a knife, don't you pick it yourself!" When he changes his mind, you don't want to get it. ”
Hearing Su Qianmo's words, Zhao Laidong, who had cracked his teeth, suddenly had a happy face, and quickly rushed towards those battle knives.
Han Long and the others reacted, and they also hurriedly rushed over, and the iron bull on the side heard the words and wanted to stop them. However, Yun Ze was here, he didn't speak, and he also knew that Yun Ze was here to divide the knife.
Several people chose their favorite knives among the swords, and they all loved it, and they even asked Tie Niu for the scabbard.
Tie Niu gritted his teeth and looked at these people who robbed him of his love knife. I had no choice but to help them find the scabbard. The rest of the weapons, Yun Ze handed over to Han Long and the others to distribute.
For the time being, each battalion was given 200 stalks, and they were guaranteed to form a swordsmen's team. As for the rest, they told them that they would equip everyone with swords one after another.
Yun Ze is also going to add some more manpower to the forge workshop here to make the progress faster. After solving the matter here, Yun Ze found Tie Niu alone and asked him to try to make some copper pipes.
Yun Ze wrote down his requirements on paper, he wanted to make a flintlock pistol, with the current technology, using a copper tube as a barrel is the best choice. And the technology of this inverted barrel has to be explored by Tie Niu himself.
Yunze only provides knowledge and technology, and practical application can only be handed over to others. Iron Bull is currently the best option.
Tie Niu looked at the paper that Yun Ze handed over to him, nodded cautiously, and repeatedly promised to complete the task given to him by Yun Ze as soon as possible.
