Yang Mu, who had turned on the big training mode, changed from his usual gentleness and became violent.

Yang Mu first asked the soldiers to stand in a military posture under the sun. Yang Mu first demonstrated and explained the essentials, and then asked the soldiers to practice.

If the posture is incorrect, Yang Mu will be like a willow when he steps forward; when he whispers to each other, the same will be like a willow... Anything that is not in place is like a willow.

This willow stick was also specially selected by Yang Mu. It is very tough. If it is attached with Zhenqi and attacked, if it is hit by a willow stick, it will definitely make people miserable.

Not everyone is willing to accept military training. Many people reported to Lu Zhishen that Yang Mu was too rough. However, Lu Zhishen, who had served in the Western Army, thought that Yang Mu was too gentle. In the Western Army, mistakes in the training process were punished, which is not the case.

Now it's just two fluttering willow branches.

Seeing that they could not get the support of Lu Zhishen, these people fled collectively down the mountain in the dark night. As a result, they were discovered by the open and hidden sentries arranged by Yang Mu. The open and hidden sentries immediately called in patrol soldiers from the mobile sentry and captured these people.

Yang Mu counted a total of twenty people, and after careful interrogation, Yang Mu found that these twenty people had committed crimes, and the crimes committed by these twenty people were heinous. Yang Mu

Just chop off their heads.

When it dawned the next day and twenty heads were hung on the school field, the soldiers on the school field were immediately silent and silent. They no longer had a cheerful attitude, but devoted themselves wholeheartedly to training in fear.

"Brother, you can't suppress him so violently." Lu Zhishen was always paying attention to Yang Mu's military training. Although Lu Zhishen didn't know Yang Mu's intention of letting the soldiers stand in a military posture, he understood that Yang Mu's violent suppression was unpopular.

"Brother, don't worry, we already have countermeasures." Yang Mu said with a chuckle.

Yang Mu had already expected this situation, and found that the soldiers were getting more and more silent, and their morale was getting lower and lower. They were training entirely based on fear. If this continued, something would happen sooner or later, so Yang Mu used a killer weapon!

Pay!

In the past, Erlong Mountain, whether it was Deng Long or Lu Zhishen when he was the leader of the Dazhai, they would not pay the minions. It would be good if they could take care of the minions and their money.

Most of them were kept secretly by me during the house robbery.

But now, Yang Mu paid the soldiers in a grand manner, which suddenly aroused the enthusiasm of all the soldiers, especially because the wages paid by Yang Mu were not based on the treatment of the Xiang army in the Song Dynasty, but based on the treatment of the border troops. More importantly,

What's more, Yang Mu personally paid the soldiers and designed an independent pay system, which institutionally eliminated the possibility of generals eating empty pay and drinking the blood of soldiers.

The atmosphere in Erlong Mountain suddenly rose. Yang Mu timely introduced the adapted Seventeen Forbidden Laws and Fifty-Four Cuts, and incorporated the Three Attentions and Eight Disciplines into it. After this period of study, the soldiers were able to barely read.

, Understand the truth, Yang Mu has enough patience, and spent a month directly using specific examples through performances to let them understand what can and cannot be done, and if they do it, they will be punished or beheaded.

.

Through this wave, Yang Mu made them firmly remember the disciplines in the military, so as to prevent them from committing the same crime again.

"Brother, I'm convinced." Lu Zhishen gave Yang Mu a thumbs up, expressing his sincerity.

After understanding all this, the soldiers finally no longer had to worry that they would be beheaded inexplicably, so they began to actively participate in the training. It would be impossible not to be active. Yang Mu also added a reward and punishment system. There are some who do well.

If you don’t do well, you’ll be rewarded and your wages will be deducted. No one wants to have their wages deducted.

Afterwards, Yang Mu began to work hard on military equipment. Although there was a water source in Erlong Mountain, it could only be used for drinking. It was impossible to use water power to manufacture stamping machines. There were no rivers at or near Erlong Mountain, and there was no way to use it.

Due to water power, Yang Mu could only make sets of pulleys. Under limited conditions, he used the pulleys to the extreme and used the assembly line system to create weapons and protective gear for the soldiers with semi-manual and semi-mechanical equipment.

Yang Mu divided the five hundred soldiers into one hundred sword and shield soldiers and four hundred spearmen. Among them, these four hundred spearmen also served as crossbowmen. There was no way, there were too few people, so one soldier could only be used for multiple purposes. Yang Mu in Mythology

The world plane has seen the power of Qin's crossbow, and then modified it and added a pulley set to make the crossbow lighter and easier to load the arrow. However, the crossbow arrows can shoot farther, have stronger piercing power, and are more powerful.

.

This is the power of technology. The information that Yang Mu downloaded in this world was not in vain. Just like forging a sword, it originally required a craftsman to forge it bit by bit with forging tools, but with the pulley set, it was much easier.

Although the equipment is still very primitive, there is no need for craftsmen to use forging tools to forge it bit by bit. You only need to pull the rope, then loosen it, use the pulley block to lift the stamping equipment, and it will automatically drop down, and then pull the rope again, back and forth.

cycle.

Swords and guns were forged with pulley impact equipment. As for defensive armor, the Zhao and Song Dynasties had too strict control over iron and iron ore. Even if Yang Mu had money, it was impossible to purchase in large quantities. Yang Mu could only ask Shi En to do his best.

He bought a lot of iron, then melted it and forged it again. In this way, he could only make swords and guns for the soldiers, but not enough to make armor.

Yang Mu had no choice but to make the cotton armor of Ming Dynasty soldiers. The cotton armor looked very thin but was actually very thick. The method of making it was to soak the cotton in water, then use a pulley block to lift a heavy object and beat it repeatedly to press the cotton into thin sheets.

Paste cotton cloth on each side as a layer. Several layers of cotton are filled with iron sheets in the middle, and then fixed with rivets to make cotton armor.

Because the inside of cotton armor is very thick, it has excellent protective performance, especially for bows and arrows. Ordinary bows and arrows cannot penetrate several layers of cotton cloth and the iron sheets in them. Even when the distance is very close, the arrows will penetrate

Without armor, it will not cause fatal damage to vital parts.

Moreover, the cotton armor is very light, but the cotton armor also has a disadvantage, that is, it cannot resist the blows of blunt weapons like iron armor, but there is no other way. All Yang Mu can do is to use it under limited conditions.

It’s the best, and who makes cotton nails cheap?

Lu Zhishen was full of praise after seeing the formed cotton armor and verifying it himself.

"If my brother presents this thing to the imperial court, there is no way the imperial court will reward him with an official position." Lu Zhishen said, with an inexplicable thought in his mind.

"How is it possible? In the land of China, how can any craftsman hold an official position in the past dynasties? Did the famous Lu Ban have an official position? Even Ma Jun, who was famous throughout the Three Kingdoms era, was just a famous but powerless official in Cao Wei.

Let’s not go too far, let’s just say that Bi Sheng invented movable type printing during the reign of Renzong, which is a great merit that will benefit the present and the future. As a result, did Bi Sheng become an official?” Yang Mu asked with a sneer.

"This is an era when officials and scholar-officials rule the world. No matter how colorful the scholar-officials paint the world, they can't change the nature of this world. The nature of this world is that the weak eat the strong."

"The officials and scholar-bureaucrats have never looked at us as human beings. But if they looked at us as human beings, they would not have so many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. In a certain family's view, it is the scholar-officials who should really bear such excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. They are so capable.

If you have money, you should pay more attention to it."

"Forget it, I don't even understand these elder brothers. I'll just wait and see how our brothers can create a harmonious world where everyone has their own house, the cultivator has his land, and the industry has his own property." Yang Mu said unhurriedly.

Lu Zhishen faced each other in silence. Lu Zhishen found that every time he discussed some topics with Yang Mu, Yang Mu's words always shocked Lu Zhishen's three views. Just like just now, how could a scholar-bureaucrat accept a gift? However, if he thought about it carefully, if a scholar-bureaucrat really paid

Regarding taxes, one or two scholar-official families may be able to offset the taxes of the people in a county. It is a problem for the people to survive after paying the taxes, but paying the taxes to the families of the scholar-officials does not harm their roots. In this case, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment?

?

But then again, how could the scholar-bureaucrats pay taxes?

While Lu Zhishen was struggling, a voice suddenly came.
