After escaping a flood, Bailizhou was like a large construction site.

On the Yangtze River in Bamutan, several cargo ships were moored next to the huge barges. The cargo ships were loaded with neither food nor cotton, nor some earth cargo, but huge rocks!

There were tall iron scaffoldings on the barge. More than a dozen workers were pulling the rope and slowly unloading the huge rock from the cargo ship into the water: this was to set up a base for the huge waterwheel!

Several workers tied ropes on their bodies, soaked in the water, and looked up at the slowly falling boulders. Wood stood in the water, marking the location of the boulders.

"One foot three in the east!"

The workers in the water shouted. Qin Wuchao on the barge heard the shout and silenced in his heart, shouting to the four workers under the scaffolding: "Turn right twice and one third!"

Four workers shouted "Oh", bulged their cheeks, and pushed the wooden bar in their hands desperately, and the winch under the scaffolding turned.

A harsh metal friction sound came, and the lever of the scaffolding slowly turned eastward.

"Okay! Enough!"

The workers in the water saw that the huge rock had been pointed at and shouted wildly: "Put the stone!"

The worker pulling the rope slowly moved forward, and the stone fell into the water inch by inch. With the huge sense of ease coming, the stone had fallen steadily into the water and placed on the base.

A burst of cheers made Lin Chunhong, who was watching on the barge, excited. He couldn't help but pat Qin Wuchao on the shoulder and said, "Good, Brother Qin, this scaffolding is much better than the strongman!"

Qin Wuchao smiled, his face turned red and he couldn't say a word.

Qin Wuchao is an honest blacksmith. He is not good at talking, but his technology is not vague. He designed the entire water truck's transmission system. After he was designed, he was unable to stay idle because he was waiting for the water truck to be installed. Qin Wuchao often muttered: "Wood? What's the use of wood? I want the iron in my hand to bend it to what it looks like. Can wood work?"

Qin Wuchao is a fanatical supporter of steel and never uses any wood to use iron. This made Li Chengzong curse many times: "A prodigal son, don't know if iron is expensive? I don't need a mountain of wood, but I have to use iron!" But Lin Chunhong supported him very much, not only stipulated that he had the final say in all iron tools workshops, but also promoted him to deputy general manager, second only to Li Chengzong in terms of technology.

In the past, the transmission system of the water truck was made of wood, and the driving wheel and the driving wheel had extended horns. The transmission wheel just rotated with the push of the horns. Such a transmission not only wastes power, but also cannot rotate at high speed, and cannot carry huge power. Qin Wuchao's transmission system is made of iron, and the driving wheel and the transmission wheel are processed into zigzag shapes. This is the original gear!

"Brother Qin, the edge of this gear does not have to be processed into a triangle, and this is also a waste of power. Think about it and see what it looks the most labor-saving!" Lin Chunhong said, staring at the creaking gears on the scaffolding.

Qin Wuchao immediately bowed and agreed that the stimulation of money on Qin Wuchao had been very little. Half a year ago, he suddenly jumped from being poor and wasted to being a little rich man. Now the only thing that can stimulate him is the praise and admiration of his brothers around him.

Seeing Qin Wuchao's respectful look, Lin Chunhong laughed secretly. Look for it, Brother Qin, try hard to find it. Without the support of three-dimensional analytical geometry, it is too difficult? Maybe this is an opportunity to promote the development of Ming Dynasty mathematics!

"The construction of armor must also be stepped up. The carriage can be put on first. It's only been built in five sets of armor this month, and the speed is too slow!"

Speaking of technical work, Qin Wuchao was not dull at all and retorted: "Five sets a month are already very fast. According to the instructions of the adults, we are creating plate armor. If we build fish scale armor, it is estimated that it will be difficult to create one set in a month! The main reason is that forging takes too much time and manpower."

"Okay, slow work is done, but manual forging is too laborious. After the water truck is built, try using hydraulic power!"

Qin Wuchao showed a gratified smile on his face. The water truck in Bamutan was not used for drainage every day, and the spare time caused craftsmen to fight for it. Phyllis said he wanted to use a water truck to stamp silver coins, Zedia said he wanted to use a water truck to process wood, and Qin Wuchao said he wanted to use a water truck to forge the armor... Now Lin Chunhong answered that using a water truck to forge the armor, which of course satisfied Qin Wuchao's demands.

Just as Lin Chunhong was talking endlessly, the guards suddenly reported: "Dou Shiwen brought more than 300 people from Shuangmiao Mountain to participate in the selection of martial arts training!"

Lin Chunhong was startled: "Nainai, this guy won't pull all the Dingkous in Shuangmiaoshan, right?"

Lin Chunhong immediately turned over and rushed towards Liuxiang.

Long before Lin Chunhong went to Jiangnan, he began to expand his troops and asked as many archers from rural areas as possible to participate in the selection of martial arts training. Dou Shiwen was responsible for summoning archers in Shuangmiao Mountain Village.

Bailizhou Liuxiang Wharf.

Small boats came up against the current and docked at the newly renovated dock. Now there are fewer and fewer boats at Liuxiang wharf, let alone more than ten small boats arrive at the dock together? I saw Dou Shiwenzhi standing proudly on the boat, looking around, and looking at everything at the dock. This time he brought a total of 350 archers to participate in the selection of autumn martial arts training!

Three hundred and fifty bowmen were summoned in just one Shuangmiao Mountain?

News was spreading in Bailizhou like a plague. As Dou Shiwen was about to arrive, more and more people were accumulating on the pier, and they all wanted to see Dou Shiwen's joke.

"Look, Xiao Douzi is actually proud. I don't know what old, young, sick and disabled he brought with him!"

"It's okay if the old, young, sick and disabled, maybe this kid brings a lot of women! Hahaha..."

A huge laugh broke out in the crowd, and a boy continued, "It's good to take a woman. In 10 or 20 years, children can fight even..."

...

All kinds of ridicule and sarcasm were overwhelming. Haha, the people in the Ming Dynasty had few entertainment programs, and bragging and chatting became their biggest pastime. So, they were just having fun again.

However, as the strong guys got off the boat, the crowd of onlookers was so surprised that they couldn't even close their mouths. Xiao Douzi actually brought all the strong young people!

"Report, one queue is over!"

"Report, the second queue is finished!"

...

"Everyone has it, go!"

The vibrant reports were heard one after another, and the young men quickly lined up in an array. Under Dou Shiwen's leadership, they left the dock and headed to the martial arts field. Following them were dust that could not be dissipated for a long time, and a crowd of people who could not understand it.

The orderly command made Lin Chunhong, who had just arrived, smile: Xiaodouzi was taking advantage of the policy loopholes again, and he was very excited to recruit strong men in other villages!

In the martial arts field, dust was flying. In order to show off his achievements, Xiaodouzi deliberately directed 350 archers to line up and walk around the field. The archers were neatly stanced. Under a series of commands, they dared not go to the right and the back to the front, and truly met the requirement of obeying orders.

Seeing Lin Chunhong arrive on a horse, Xiaodouzi ordered the archers to stand up, and only a sound was heard, and more than 300 people stood like wooden stakes. Although they were constantly sweating under the scorching sun, no one started to wipe the sweating beads.

At the beginning, Dou Shiwen carefully selected more than 30 seedlings in Shuangmiao Mountain. But he was so young that he could not accept recruiting only these people. Under Gu Xiuxing's reminder, he sent all the archers to other villages to recruit archers. The preferential policy attracted hundreds of young men to sign up. Dou Shiwen drove the gangsters and hooligans home, and selected the best ones, recruiting more than 500. Since then, these archers have stepped into dire straits and fire, and complained heavily under Dou Shiwen's devil training. In less than a day, more than 100 people were secretly escaped, and later a group of them were eliminated, leaving only 350 people.

After all, Dou Shiwen has only one person, so how can he manage it? Fortunately, Shi Wazi and other archers have a certain foundation and can help Dou Shiwen share a lot of things. After a month of bumps and bruises, Dou Shiwen trained these archers like his own arms and commanded them very smoothly. During the process of training these archers, Dou Shiwen also figured out many tricks of leading troops and became more mature.

"Report, the archers in Shuangmiaoshan have gathered together. Please review them!" Dou Shi said warmly like a bell, reporting to Lin Chunhong loudly, with pride in his speech.

Lin Chunhong jumped off his horse, straightened his chest and abdomen, stood up straight, and shouted, "Take the archers back to the camp!"

"promise!"

Dou Shiwen stood with his feet together, turned around and shouted, "Go back to the camp!"

Only a series of slogans were heard, and the archers lined up to the camp in an orderly manner.

When the archer walked out of sight, Lin Chunhong punched Dou Shiwen on the shoulder and smiled, "Xiao Douzi, he actually came up with this method to fool me! To be honest, how many Dingkou in Shuangmiao Mountain are there?"

Xiao Douzi laughed and said, "Thirty-four!"

"Okay! Remember what I said, if twenty of these thirty-four people can't be selected, you can't even think about participating in the autumn training!"

"Don't worry, sir, no one of these young men will be defeated!"

"Are you sure?"

"I'll let the adults see tomorrow..."

The selection project is very simple, which is to carry 60 kilograms of weight at night, walk thirty miles within one hour, and those who successfully reach the finish line are considered qualified. This regulation suddenly eliminates night blindness, and some gangsters are also eliminated. Generally speaking, gangsters do not work for production, and their endurance cannot be compared with those of good farmers.

This project is mainly established against the northern refugee army and the cavalry of Jiannu. The main force of the refugee army is the cavalry. Although it cannot be compared with the Jiannu cavalry and the Guanliao cavalry, its speed is fast and cannot be underestimated. Given the current lack of horses, Lin Chunhong and Zhou Wang's goal is to build an infantry with no less ability than cavalry, and to give the enemy a fatal blow in night battles.

This is just a temporary measure. The instantaneous action and impact force of infantry cannot keep up with the cavalry in any case. The formation of cavalry units can only be expected to have a large number of war horses in the future.

Xiaodouzi did not brag. All thirty-four archers from Shuangmiaoshan were selected, and the other archers brought were selected. The heroes also chose more than 230 people. The heroes saw the same thing, and the archers from other villages adopted Xiaodouzi's approach. More than 5,000 archers were gathered in Bailizhou at once, and more than 3,000 people were selected. With more than 1,000 people in the past, the team expanded to more than 5,000 people and directly joined the camp, preparing to face the test of the cruel autumn training.
Chapter completed!
