Since Xu Hai's restructuring of the cement workshop, all departments can coordinate with each other, and many things do not need to be asked to Xu Hai, so Xu Hai still has enough time to deal with the Heshan mine.

And Chen Ze, the person in charge of each department, has also seen it, and they are all familiar faces, so if there is anything, just go to the person in charge directly, and there is no big problem.

Chen Ze didn't delay much in the cement workshop, turned around and went to the labor reform department opposite to meet with Xu Qianfang to discuss the preparation of the new army.

"A few days ago, the dog sent me a letter, and Wutong County has settled down, and the tax money has been safely delivered to the local area, and now it has entered the treasury."

"The merit of the son of the world is immeasurable, and it is really a good picture of the world."

At this meeting, Xu Qianfang praised two sentences first, and Chen Ze laughed: "Where is this, if we work together, the life of the common people will only get better and better, Uncle Xu, how is the charter for the preparation of the new army?" ”

Mentioning this, Xu Qianfang couldn't help but feel a little bitter: "It's been made, but it doesn't feel very proper in many places, but I haven't thought of some better ways after thinking about it, and now I'm distressed!" ”

"Your Highness, there is something I don't know if to talk about or not?"

"Uncle Xu can say whatever he wants."

"I want to write a few letters and send them to Wutong County, and ask some of my old subordinates to come and prepare this matter with me, I don't know what His Highness wants?"

It is indeed a bit difficult for Xu Qianfang to prepare for this matter alone, even when he was the leader of the righteous army in the past, Xu Qianfang also had a large number of people who could use it, and now it is naturally a little uncertain to rely on him to do this alone, just when Chen Ze came, Xu Qianfang proposed whether he could invite some of his old subordinates from Wutong County to prepare for the new army together.

When Chen Ze heard this, he immediately readily agreed.

He can even send someone to bring people over, it must be inconvenient to live in the labor reform department, so it doesn't hurt to come out with a few tents in the cement workshop opposite for them to live in, and when they get to Chen Ze, they will give everyone a piece of wind and dust.

Seeing Chen Ze trusting him so much, Xu Qianfang's heart was inexplicably moved, and he thanked him repeatedly, in addition to this, Chen Ze also remembered one thing, and immediately discussed it with Xu Qianfang.

"Uncle Xu, I found a very good general, Miaozi, who was already familiar with military books at the age of eight, and even knew the method of attacking the east and the west, quite strategic, I will bring him to meet you another day? Would you give this kid some pointers if you had time? ”

Xu Qianfang suddenly looked curious: "If that's the case, then I really want to see it." ”

"He has been in the school for the past two days, and when the time comes, I will go to the school to ask him for a leave of absence, and then bring him over to meet you."

Chen Ze had thought about finding a military mentor for Huo Guanguan before, but there was no suitable candidate, but now Xu Qianfang is here, this is a commander who has been on the battlefield, and the battle he commanded is undefeated, even Chen Wuping loves and hates Xu Qianqian, if Xu Qianfang does not join the palace, he will be killed directly, which also proves Chen Wuping's recognition of Xu Qianqian's military command talent from the side.

Such a good opportunity must not be missed, Chen Ze must let Huo Guanguan come to Xu Qianqian to study hard, if he can really learn something, he will send Huo Guanguan to the new army for training in the future.

After all, talent is so rare, some people are born to eat this mouthful, and they can't envy it.

chatted with Xu Qianfang for a while, and Chen Ze didn't disturb Xu Qianqian's preparations.

Xie Wanan's guerrilla army didn't get any news, and since the last time they caught the bandits, they hid in the mountains and forests, not to mention that the enemy couldn't find it, and they couldn't find their own people, because they were all hunters, and they were too good at hiding.

Last time, the group of bandits were all captured alive, and they didn't find anyone until they touched their eyes, but it was too late by then, and the knives were already on their necks, and Xie Wanan didn't elaborate on the specific arrest process, but Chen Ze probably guessed what was going on.

Orion itself has a strong ability to conceal, and after matching the concept of combat uniforms proposed by Chen Ze, almost everyone in the guerrilla army wears straw clothes, which is equivalent to the auspicious clothes of Da Chu.

Just burrowing into the grass, you can't even see where you are, and you almost become one with the environment.

In addition to the specially concealed straw suits, everyone is equipped with a small rapid-fire crossbow, hook claws, and new tarp leggings.

Because the mountainous environment is too complicated, it is essentially a special operation, and the requirements for equipment are still relatively high, and the cost of rapid-fire crossbows is the most expensive among them, and a piece will cost more than 30 taels of silver, and it depends on the yield rate.

This thing is also a product of the Technology R&D Department, which is the culmination of the current collection, of course, it must have been developed secretly, and everyone signed a confidentiality agreement.

It's better to keep a low profile as low as possible about making weapons.

The rapid-fire crossbow and the bayonet are integrated, using the best light steel that can be made in the current ironmaking workshop, and the weight is half lighter than the traditional bow and crossbow, and the traditional crossbow arrows are used, after all, it is too luxurious to build steel arrows, or the wooden crossbow arrows are the cheapest to build, and even in the absence of conditions, they can directly cut bamboo to use, after all, bandits generally do not wear armor, and bamboo chips are also lethal.

The most exquisite of this has to be the pull bar winding device, the traditional bow and crossbow is relatively bulky, and if you want to pull the string, you must step on it, and use the strength to eat milk to pull the string up, anyway, Chen Ze can't pull it up, but the rapid-fire crossbow tossed out by the technology research and development department is different, after passing the mechanical structure, it is directly pulled on the rod winding, relatively speaking, it is very labor-saving, and the efficiency is extremely high.

Traditional bows and crossbows can't be applied to hand-to-hand combat, so crossbowmen normally have to be equipped with a short knife, while rapid-fire crossbows can directly add a spring bayonet, if you encounter the enemy close, you can directly hold the bow and crossbow and the opponent hand-to-hand combat, in length is even longer than the short knife, and at the bottom there is a spring device, under special circumstances can be taken by surprise.

Muskets and artillery are currently no way to toss out, so they can only make a fuss about cold weapons, the more troublesome thing is that the quality of the spring is not too good now, it is easy to break, the yield is not even fifty percent, and the yield of large springs is even lower, basically it is smashed out of raw materials.

However, this is a necessary way, as long as the accumulation continues, the technology will continue to improve.
