1840Indian rebirth

In addition to the garrison in Clark Town, each centurion in Sleeping Bear City was assigned a golden-fisted red flag, and of course the roof of the chief's hall.

Ma Shao climbed up and installed the flag in the chief's hall himself. He first nailed a wooden flag base to the roof, then inserted the flagpole into it and fixed it with a rope.

When the north wind blows, the golden-red flag will flutter in the wind.

Looking at the fluttering flag, Ma Shao couldn't help but smile, turned around and said, "What do you think?"

"It's so beautiful!" the little sparrow shouted happily, and most of the onlookers on the ground discussed this novel flag with smiles on their faces.

"This flag is really bright. You can probably see it from a long way away."

“I guess no one will mistake the Chief’s Hall in the future.”

“Can anyone else mistake the Hall of Chiefs?”

"Why not? They are all wooden houses. Yesterday, a Pawnee regarded my house as a chief's hall..."

People were talking.

On a rainy day, I walked around the house, looking left and right: "Why do I feel a little crooked?"

"Is it crooked?" Ma Shao was startled. He first looked at the red flag, then at the base, but did not see any crookedness.

At least the flagpole is perpendicular to the roof, that's obvious.

He turned around and asked: "Look, is this flag crooked?"

Everyone looked left and right, and most of them said, "It's not wrong!"

"This is just right, not biased at all."

"I think it's about the same."

"The chief inserted it, how could it be crooked?"

The horse whistle then jumped down from the roof, clapped his hands, and then turned to look at the red flag.

As a result, looking at it now, he actually felt that the flag seemed a bit crooked, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Looking at his expression on a rainy day: "Let me just say, this flag is a little crooked."

Ma Shao murmured: "It shouldn't be... This pole is straight and the base is upright. Why is it a little crooked when inserted?"

The two of them observed it for a long time.

Finally, Ma Shao nodded suddenly: "I understand, this house is crooked!"

Although Mianxiong City is undergoing extensive construction, the construction technology is not very good after all, and it is normal for the houses to have some deviations.

In fact, from Ma Shao's point of view, the current large-scale construction projects are basically to let the people of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development gain experience. After all, the Indians' construction skills are too meager.

It can even be said that there is almost no construction technology. After all, most Indian tribes in the Midwest, including the Apache, live in tents.

Only a small number of people with extensive construction experience in the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development came from outside the Apache, mainly Navajo, and a few white people hired from Clark Town.

Since the house is crooked, Ma Shao doesn't worry anymore: "Let's leave it like this for now. After two years, we will rebuild a chief's hall with reinforced concrete."

"Reinforced concrete?" I didn't understand it on a rainy day.

Ma Shao realized that there seems to be no reinforced concrete yet, and he may need to invent it by then: "I don't know if the building material I envisioned is feasible."

He recalled the history of reinforced concrete.

He didn't know the exact time when reinforced concrete was invented, but it shouldn't be that long ago because Portland cement has become popular in Europe.

However, he did know that the large-scale application of reinforced concrete in construction was a matter of the 20th century, especially after the invention of "prestressed reinforced concrete" - Ma Shao had come into contact with this knowledge when he was studying mechanics.

It took several decades from invention to large-scale application, during which time it probably experienced a lot of technical improvements.

Of course Ma Shao could invent reinforced concrete, but he was a little unsure whether reinforced concrete could be used in buildings in a short period of time.

After all, he had only watched the construction process of reinforced concrete buildings a few times.

…

After installing the Golden Fist Red Flag in the chief's hall, the horse whistle gathered the Sleeping Bear Army and distributed the flags, four in total.

Each of the three centurions has one side, and the one with the best results in the recent assessment will also have one side.

"The fourth flag belongs to the person with the best score in the last assessment." The horse whistle looked at a person with an outstanding figure, "Sleepy guy."

"Here we come!" the sleepy man responded loudly.

The horse whistle handed the flag to him: "This golden fist red flag belongs to you, take it."

While speaking, Ma Shao was still thinking about a question - who is the sleepy man?

He is now basically certain that in the original history, Sleepy Man should have been a named character.

After all, this boy's performance is indeed very extraordinary. When he stayed in Sleeping Bear City, he took the initiative to join the army, and then became a commander in just a few months. He also got the best score in the first assessment. It is completely acceptable.

To describe it as sharp-edged.

Sleepy Man is not only a gifted warrior, he also learns writing knowledge very quickly, he also has magical talent in chess and cards, and has been the king of games.

As long as such a talented young man does not die young, it is unlikely that he will become unknown in history.

In fact, Sleepy Man is obviously not an unknown person.

Ma Shao was almost certain that he had seen this name somewhere in his previous life, but he couldn't remember it.

In all likelihood, the name "Sleepy Man" is not the name Sleepy Man is really known by, he is famous around the world under other names.

Moreover, Ma Shao knew almost nothing about Indians in his previous life, and he couldn't get it right - his impression of "Sleepy Man" seemed to come from a scene in a certain game.

But no matter what, Sleepy Man is an undoubted young talent.

Therefore, Mashao has long decided to cultivate him well.

After handing the red flag to him, the horse whistle patted his shoulder again: "I hope you have the ability to keep this red flag for one more month."

"I'll keep it forever!" Sleepy Man said confidently.

Ma Shao smiled and looked at the other soldiers: "Sleepy Man said that he can always have this 'moving red flag'. Are you convinced?"

"Not convinced!" the soldiers shouted one after another.

"If you're not convinced, train harder!" Ma Shao took a few steps and continued shouting, "Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war!"

After a pause, he continued: "Today, I will add some new training items to you. In these training items, you will use three people as the basic action unit to advance in a dispersed formation..."

As the power of guns and artillery continues to rise, queuing to kill or line tactics will gradually be eliminated, and skirmishing lines will become the mainstream of warfare.

Naturally, Ma Shao must make preparations in advance so that the soldiers of the Sleeping Bear Army can understand the combat mode of the disbandment era in advance.

When the Apache soldiers mastered the skirmish line tactics, when necessary, he could even dig graves for the queues with his own hands, turning a new chapter in military history.

Not only the skirmish line, the content of the training for the horse sentry will also include things like one point, two sides, three three systems, and even forced insertion, in order to create a steel-like army.
