open sea

Chapter 107
Chen Mu is busy compiling the book.

Deng Zilong once gave Qi Shuai the "Ji Xiao New Book", which is the best military training and leading regulations in this era, but it is a pity that Chen Mu cannot fully apply it.

Although Yu Ding of the 30 Banner Army added [-] craftsmen and more than [-] apprentices to his Qianhu Institute, he still did not have the energy and financial resources to make complete military uniforms for the Banner Army.

His Qianhusuo is like the epitome of the Ming Dynasty government, which can only maintain the lowest efficiency management constraints. Three hundred households, six general banners, and 39 small banners make up [-] sets of iron armor that are barely protected. The family members who know female celebrities are called to the yamen of thousands of households to make thousands of armbands of different colors according to the same standard.

Banner army with black characters on red background, small flag with black characters on blue background, and hundreds of households with black characters on blue background.

Each small flag is equipped with eight spears, two waist knives, one large wooden sign, and two small flag arrows.

Each general flag draws a small flag to be the bird gun flag, equipped with two waist knives and eight bird guns.

Because the number of soldiers took turns to drill, the lowest combat unit of the Xiangshan Qianhu Institute was not the small flag but the general flag.

All the flag officers entered the Qianhu Office in the evening after practice and followed Xie Ming to enlighten them. Their enlightenment books used the more than 200-character regulations compiled by Chen Mu and the corresponding rewards and punishments.

In fact, this is not considered enlightenment anymore, it is simply asking them to spend three months memorizing by rote, keeping these regulations in their hearts, and restraining the soldiers.

Inefficient, but makes sense.

The efficiency of Tiefang has greatly increased after the introduction of new craftsmen. Guan Erlang, who has just regained his health, led his apprentice carpenter to make fifteen drilling machines in a row.He was very encouraged by Chen Mu's emphasis on the gun bed he made. After he recovered from his abdominal injury, he enthusiastically joined the business of supervising the manufacture of gun barrels, ensuring that [-] standard gun barrels could be drilled every month.

When his abdominal injury was not serious, he had already started to improve the special drilling bore for the gun bed. After accepting Chen Mu's suggestion, he simply made the drilling machine a model iron, leaving a hexagonal tubular joint on it to match the newly made one. The hexagonal gun barrel fits together, so there is an additional standard test for the gun barrel.

Gun barrels with non-standard shapes cannot fit the gun bed, so they have to be remade.

There are too many craftsmen, which makes the iron workshop of Qianhusuo seem crowded. Chen Mu has one more urgent task to solve, which is to prepare a new iron workshop for the craftsmen.

Chen Mu planned to wait until Huangliang was done, and set aside an area for Guan Yuangu in the shallows on the shore, on the edge of the new water village, to make and use hydraulic forging hammers, maybe not just hydraulic forging hammers.

Looking at the carpenters in the iron workshop working hard to saw wood, maybe in the future, they can also use their talents to make hydraulic sawmills based on hydraulic forging hammers.

Large plates for shipbuilding should be much easier.

At the beginning of May, when Die Niang and two people rushed to the Xiangshan Qianhu Office after hearing the news, Chen Mu was leading the banner army to practice outside the Qianhu Office. The banner army who had been trained for half a month on average did not look so sick at last. A bit of a sergeant's sharpness.

Thanks to the smugglers, the food they donated made up for the shortage of food and grass in the Xiangshan Thousand Households. The Banner Army who was recruited as a military household was trembling, but found that the Banner Army was eating much better than they used to. At least I can eat enough, and occasionally Qianhu will reward some meat, which reduces a lot of resistance.

It's just that the military households have been low for a long time after all, and they still inevitably flee.

When Die Niang came, her own soldiers came to report. Chen Mu glanced at the gate of the Qianhu Yamen, nodded slightly, but did not go there.

He had been waiting for this moment since he was transferred to the Xiangshan Qianhu Office.

To kill a man is to stand up, and to stand up to a man is to stand up.

After the drill, the banner troops did not disperse as usual. On the contrary, the banner troops who patrolled and guarded the ships were also called in. Three hundred banner troops gathered in the school grounds to watch the fugitives being escorted to the high platform, but this time it was no longer carried The executioner of the banner with a big stick, but a noose.

The scene of Qingyuan Wei Baihu's performance on the martial arts field was repeated again, but Chen Xiaoqi became Chen Qianhu and walked from the stage to the stage.

"According to the law, if you flee three times, you will be hanged!"

There was a terrible and familiar sound of breathing from the side, a life gradually lost its breath, Chen Mu's heart was still soft, but his ribs were as hard as iron stone, put away the verdict, and said to the flag army: "Those who disobey the order will die, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded." .”

"Your hundreds of households used to be the Banner Army. They listened to Chen's orders on weekdays and made contributions to Chen on the battlefield. Now they are all hundreds of households, and you are the same."

It can be said that it was a sneaky change of concept, but Chen Mu did not lie.

The reason why he was executed was because the fugitive violated the law. It was not the violation of the order but the violation of the law that caused the murder, but it was all the same.

On the battlefield, due to desertion, many of his own people died at the hands of Chen Mu.

If it can make Banner Army better obey orders in the future, he is willing to secretly change this concept.

Prestige, establish prestige first, and then establish trust.

While waving his hands, some soldiers dragged the corpse away, and the flag army remained silent, no one responded. Chen Mu walked down the high platform with a solemn face, and led the soldiers to the Qianhu Office, and the banner troops dispersed under the leadership of the general flag.

"Come here?" Chen Mu wanted to show an amiable expression as much as possible, but he couldn't show his face. He just nodded and walked to the Yamen first, "Go in and sit."

Die Niang and the two young men she brought looked at each other, and said dryly, "Chen Qianhu is really easy to deal with. Last time, it was not like this."

The last time Die Niang followed Fu Yuan to the Qianhu Yamen, she was willing to take risks and do her best, but this time it was different.

As the saying goes, the first time is born and the second time is acquaintance. She thought that this visit was a big deal. She even brought her son, and she just waited for Chen Mu to recognize this relative. Multiple backgrounds can also take care of multiple backgrounds.

Who would have thought that Chen Mu would kill someone as soon as he arrived.

Killing people is not terrible, let alone her son, Die Niang herself has killed people before.

The terrible thing is to kill one's own people.

Chen Mu thought of Bai Yuanjie again, he would walk the road that others have walked; he would also walk the road that others have not walked.

Only by paying more and bearing more than others can we be entitled to more.

Sitting in the front hall, Chen Mu saw that Die Niang and the three were still standing, and waved: "It's not the first time I'm here, sit down."

"My family pays respects to Qianhu, thank you for your seat."

Die Niang brought two young people to salute Chen Mu, and then sat in the guest seat. The older young man was about to sit down, but was pulled by another young man with a slightly green face, and he was still standing in the hall. middle.

Chen Mu was surprised and took a second look.

The young man has a strong body, a high nose bridge, narrow eyes, rough and dark skin, long legs and long hands. The arms exposed in the short shirt are very powerful. His broad arms make him look like a water-oriented man. Standing in the hall, he has an unruly look. temperament.

This is a smart man, he just said something casually, but the young man listened to him.

Among the three, only Die Niang is here. This is not the first time.

So he didn't sit down.

"Is this Die Niang's son?" Chen Mu's eyes lit up, "Die Niang has a good son!"

Die Niang turned her head to look at the young man, she turned around with joy in her eyes, and asked with a smile on her face: "Then this relative, Qianhu, do you recognize it?"

"I'm Chen Mu." Chen Mu smiled, looked at the young man and asked, "Are you willing?"

The young man took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "My child, Li Dan, kowtow to meet the adoptive father!"

　I was sweating after eating, good morning everyone!
