The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 28 Craftsman
After Xu Shu was free, Chen Ziming immediately put Xu Shu, a top strategist, in the city lord's mansion. Xu Shu's ability to govern a county is more than enough.

Chen Ziming took time off to deal with some very important things that could not be replaced by others, such as establishing various workshops.

Chen Ziming was the first to establish a blacksmith shop. With more than 20 blacksmiths, large and small, how could it not be used first.

Chen Ziming is going to start changing weapons for Liu Bei's army. Although the long halberd and long dagger are the best weapons for soldiers now, history has proved that the best weapon for infantry in the age of weapons is the long spear. Yes, Chen Ziming is going to replace Liu Bei's long spear. All the spear soldiers were replaced by long spear soldiers.

The materials are easy to find. Although a large number of weapons used by the bandits are very tattered, the iron on them is real. There are also some scrapped weapons, all collected by Chen Ziming and ready to start refining.

Before refining, Chen Ziming made the sealed boxes of the descendants. Although the carpenters were not very skilled, Chen Ziming gave the design drawings and some difficult solutions. It took two days to seal the first box. Got it out.

With such advanced gadgets as sealing boxes, it is easier to melt iron, and the work efficiency has been greatly improved.

Then the carpenters started to work again. In addition to being responsible for the sealing, maintenance and repair of the blacksmith workshop, they also began to make benches, chairs, tables and other furniture that appeared a long time later.

As for the production of the barrel of the spear, with so many labors in Xi'an, is it possible that no one will do it?

The production of the gun head is very simple, and the production of Chang Ge is much simpler, especially the improved assembly line production method by Chen Ziming, which is so efficient that Liu Bei and others who came to watch were shocked.

However, the weapon reform proposed by Chen Ziming was not recognized by Liu Bei and others, and even all the generals opposed it, while the advisers chose to watch, which made Chen Ziming very angry. In a fit of anger, he decided to use the simplest and most violent method to solve it, that is, a martial arts contest.

Of course, it wasn't Chen Ziming who went to compete with those fierce generals. That's not called a martial arts competition, it's called courting death.

Chen Ziming decided to set the martial arts competition ten days later. Except for Guan Yu, who guards the city defense, and Zhang Liao, who guards the food and grass, the rest of the generals will each train a team, that is, 20 soldiers. Ten days later, let these soldiers compete in actual combat to decide whether to change new weapons. .

Of course, I can't let go of other things during these ten days, and I have to do what I should do.But this seems to be useful for Chen Ziming. After all, the other contestants are all generals. Apart from leading soldiers every day, there are other things to do there, and they can't do it even if they sit.

Chen Ziming randomly selected 20 people from Zhao Yun's new barracks, and then found an open place in the city to start training.

Chen Ziming's training is very simple, just borrow the training of recruits from later generations of soldiers.Standing in a military posture in the morning, training to cross obstacles in the afternoon, and instilling in these 20 people some ideological knowledge of future generations of soldiers in the evening.

Let them know what is a soldier and what is a soldier's bounden duty, so that he can teach them to sing some military songs and so on. Anyway, he should use all the recruit training knowledge he should know.

After leading them for a day on the first day, the best-performing soldier named Li Xin was thrown away on the second day, and he was appointed as the captain. Chen Ziming only went to see them occasionally, and then went to work on his own.

What Chen Ziming was busy with all day long, apart from taking time to look at government affairs, his main thoughts were on the construction of iron shops and wooden beams.

As for the textile workers, there is really no such condition for them to set up a factory or something, mainly because there is no raw material, so I gave them a pile of damaged clothes and fabrics, and asked the blacksmith to make them a little bigger. needles and let them mend clothes.

There are fewer other craftsmen, and they are really useless now. It is better to have a wine roaster. This is a rare talent in this era, but Chen Ziming does not have the ability to set up a winery for him.Had to let him do other things to pass the time.

There are also potters, sculptors, etc., all of which are kept. Even if they are given free food and drink, Chen Ziming will never let them go. These will be craftsmen who can get him good things in the future. It takes time to cultivate, I don't know how much time it will take, and it may not be useful for these.

On this day, the No. 15 day when Liu Bei occupied Xi'an, Chen Ziming and Liu Bei set a ten-day deadline for the martial arts competition. All generals, except Zhang Liao, who could not leave for food and grass, all went to the military camp.Except for the soldiers on duty, all others are here.

Even several civil servants left their affairs to the deputy Chen Ziming had found for them, and came to watch the competition by themselves.

"Military officer, I see that you have been running around these few days and have not even trained your team of soldiers. Have you given up?" Jian Yong, who often asks Chen Ziming for advice, knows best where Chen Ziming spends his time every day, so he has this idea ask.

"To deal with these warriors, I still need to train myself, and I can give you a few pointers at will!" Chen Ziming squinted at the fierce generals at the side, and said flatly.

"Hehe, I admire you for being a great military strategist!" Sun Qian thought that Chen Ziming was just talking hard and trying to save face, so he laughed.

"Military Master, let me practice with you first." Zhang Fei was the first to jump out after hearing Chen Ziming's words.

"Who will practice martial arts with you? I'm a civilized person. I don't use my words." Chen Ziming saw Zhang Fei's huge fist, his eyes twitched, and he turned his head and ignored Zhang Fei.

"Okay, Yide is stepping back. According to the original regulations, who are you waiting for in the competition of soldiers trained by Mr. Liu Bei?" Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei from making trouble, and started today's main action.

"My old Zhang comes first!" Zhang Fei jumped up, walked to the arena, and roared, a group of 20 soldiers ran up to Zhang Fei with Chang Ge.

Seeing this, Chen Ziming raised his right hand and waved it, then put it down again.

Just as Liu Bei was about to ask something with a puzzled face, a loud voice came.

"Run...go!"

Then everyone heard the sound of neat footsteps, "Step, step, step, step..."

"This is??..."

"It's so neat!"

"mighty!"

The eyes of several civil servants lit up when they saw Chen Ziming's twenty soldiers running neatly to the center of the arena with spears in their hands. They had never seen such a neat run.

"Stand on the ground!"

"To the left!"

"Like others!"

"Count the numbers!"

"1! 2! 3!..."

"Military division, our team should have 20 soldiers, and there are 20 soldiers, please give instructions! Captain, Li Xin!"

Li Xin, the team leader appointed by Chen Ziming, returned to Chen Ziming.

"let's start!"

Chen Ziming waved his hand again and said.

"like!"

"Battle formation, prepare!"

"kill!"

Twenty soldiers, divided into two rows, attacking battle steps, spears forward.
