Wang Ming is very pragmatic in doing things now, but Lin Ze didn't know that Wang Ming was not such a pragmatic person before, and he also had a strong literati atmosphere before.
However, the experience of becoming a refugee this time made Wang Ming thoroughly understand what people's livelihood is, and what is the most important thing for the ordinary people below. Feet, tempered one side.
Just like iron ore, if you want to truly become steel, you have to refine it in an iron-smelting furnace. Only after being refined in an iron-smelting furnace can iron ore become real steel.
The experience of becoming a refugee made Wang Ming, a literati, completely abandon the exaggeration in his heart. The previous empty talk has been thrown into Java, and he has become a truly pragmatic person, a good official who can truly consider the people.
"Wang Ming, you are very good!" Lin Ze praised directly.
After hearing this, Wang Ming on the other side was very excited.
To be praised by Lin Ze, Wang Ming felt warm in his heart.
"Thank you for your praise, my lord, thank you!"
"Hehe, this is what you deserve!" Lin Ze said with a smile, and then asked: "Wang Ming, Qiu Kai and I will go to the barracks to have a look. You and Sanwa are..."
Lin Ze came out to inspect this time, not only to check the agriculture here, but also to the military camp and other places.
"My lord, I won't go there. There are still some fields here that haven't been inspected. If you don't finish inspecting the fields here, you won't be able to sleep at night!" Wang Ming said.
According to the actions of these people, they must follow Lin Ze now. After all, Lin Ze is his boss and is always by his side, so he will be promoted faster in the future.
However, after experiencing this life as a refugee, Wang Ming is really pragmatic in his heart, and he is not going to do other things until he does his own work well.
"Okay, Wang Ming, good job!" Lin Ze's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and patted Wang Ming's shoulder. Such a person is the talent he needs most!
. . .
Soon, the group was divided into two places. Looking at the backs of Wang Ming and Li Sanwa who were gradually going away, Lin Ze sighed directly: "I am really lucky to be able to get Wang Ming!"
After listening to Lin Ze's exclamation, Qiu Kai on the side was also full of admiration for Wang Ming, and he said, "My lord, in this regard, I am really not as good as Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang is not only in military affairs The ability is extremely strong, and now it seems that the ability in farming is also very strong, which will be a great help to your future career, my lord, I am here to congratulate you!"
"Hehehe!" Lin Ze laughed happily.
.
When Lin Ze and the others arrived at the barracks, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Tieying, Duan Ming, and Yu Huai had already received the news and were waiting outside the barracks for Lin Ze's arrival.
"I've seen you!" Seeing Lin Ze's arrival, Tie Ying and the other three stepped forward to greet him.
"Well, let's go in!" Lin Ze said with a smile, and then entered the barracks.
Team training is going on in the barracks. Pikemen, shield soldiers, and broadsword soldiers, every five people form a group, and every three groups form a combination. They are catching teams and fighting on the school field, and the sound of killing is loud.
The army here, in the hands of Lin Ze, has undergone a series of reforms, and it is fundamentally different from Shazhou, or other armies of Chu State, in terms of fighting methods and combat effectiveness. .
Spears, shields, knives, plus the archer troops behind, four groups form a platoon. After the expansion of the army, most of the original veterans were promoted to be platoon leaders. Three platoons, plus an archer platoon, form a company.
There is a company commander on it.
"My lord, after this period of training, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been greatly improved. Although there are many new recruits in our army, occupying the eighth floor, after the training methods formulated by you personally, my lord, these recruits The combat power of the army is already very strong, and compared with our previous veterans, it is not much better, at most it is a little less in experience, but as long as it goes to the battlefield once or twice and sees blood, it will be another tiger and wolf army. " Tie Ying said proudly with a beard all over her face.
Since the beginning of training these recruits, Tie Ying has been staying in the recruit camp, so some personal hygiene is sometimes a big problem.
"Okay, Tie Ying, you are lucky!" Lin Ze patted Tie Ying on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
"Tie Ying, remember, there are still countless elite soldiers on the training ground. Only after passing the test of the battlefield can they truly transform. Therefore, Tie Ying, you have to keep working hard!"
"Yes, my lord, Tie Ying has remembered!" Tie Ying said respectfully.
"Well, this is very good!" Lin Ze said very satisfied, and then changed the subject and asked again: "By the way, Tie Ying, have you delivered the horseshoe I told you before?"
Horseshoes, also known as horseshoes, are iron hoofs bound on the hooves of horses, cattle and other animals.
A horse's hoof is composed of two layers. The layer in contact with the ground is a layer of hard cutin about 2-3 cm thick, and the upper layer is live cutin.
The horseshoe is in contact with the ground, and it will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of accumulated water. The main purpose of nailing the horseshoe is to delay the wear of the horseshoe.
The use of horseshoes not only protects the horseshoe, but also makes the horseshoe grip the ground more firmly, which is very beneficial for riding and driving.
At this time, Duan Ming stepped forward and replied, "Master, the horseshoe has been delivered, and we are trying to install the horseshoe on the iron horse. Master, the horseshoe you made is really useful!"
When he said this, Duan Ming's face was full of admiration. He never thought that a simple horseshoe could play so many roles. It not only enhanced the strength of the cavalry, but also greatly reduced the loss of the horseshoe. For an army, it is really useful!
"Hehe, it's nothing." Lin Ze said with a smile.
"In fact, horseshoes are very simple, but everyone didn't think this way before. After we put on shoes, we can protect our feet from the stones on the ground. For the damage caused by swords and guns on the battlefield, all you need to do is put on a pair of shoes that belong to horses!
Shoes made of cloth can prevent our feet from being hurt by stones on the ground. Of course, such shoes cannot prevent being hurt by iron objects. Then we can directly replace the material of the shoes with iron. In that case, iron objects will not hurt our feet. Therefore, horseshoes are directly made of iron. "Lin Ze explained why he thought of the horseshoe.
To be honest, before Lin Ze didn't know that horseshoes had not been invented on the mainland of China, and the cavalry here, the iron-shoeed horses they rode were all bald on their feet. Lin Ze really didn't pay attention before, until Lin Ze and Xue Yi He didn't discover this problem until after a war of thieves.
The blood-clothed bandits are all cavalry, and many of them directly ride two horses, or even three horses. After all the blood-clothed bandits were wiped out, Lin Ze thought he could get tens of thousands of war horses, but the result was beyond Lin Ze's expectations. , The number of war horses captured did not meet Lin Ze's expectations.
The number of war horses captured was nearly one-third less than Lin Ze's previous estimate.
At that time, Lin Ze felt a bad feeling in his heart. He thought that someone was playing tricks.
Therefore, Lin Ze did not hesitate, and directly began to investigate who was so bold as to commit corruption under his nose.
After this investigation, Lin Ze realized that he had misunderstood his subordinates.
The number of captured horses was actually about the same as Lin Zexin expected, but the number of wounded horses was one-third more than Lin Ze thought.
Lin Ze was very curious as to why there were so many war horses in his hand.
Then, he took a look and finally figured out why there were so many wounded horses.
The reason is very simple, that is, the horse's hoof was injured by the swords and guns left everywhere on the battlefield, and it was injured and fell to the ground.
It wasn't until this time that Lin Ze knew that there were no horseshoes on the horseshoes of the war horses on the mainland of China.
Knowing this, Lin Ze was speechless.
In China, it took a long time for horseshoes to appear.
Cavalry appeared very early in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, large-scale cavalry appeared. However, it was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that truly practical horseshoes appeared.
The time in between has gone through nearly 1300 to 400 years.
On the mainland of China, the cavalry appeared earlier. However, due to the sufficient aura on the mainland of China, the horseshoes of the horses here are much stronger than the horseshoes of the flatterers on the earth.
Flattery on the earth, after a period of time, the soles of the horse's feet will be injured, but on the mainland of China, because the horseshoes of the flatterers here are stronger, generally, as long as they are not on the battlefield, the horseshoes of iron-hoofed horses generally will not hurt. How injured, or damaged.
The reason why an iron-shoeed horse is called an iron-shoeed horse is because its hoof is as hard as iron, so it is called an iron-shoeed horse.
Even if such a horse is used all the time, its hooves will not cause much damage. Therefore, the people on the mainland of China have no such thoughts in their minds about the protection of the iron-shoeed horses' hooves.
However, once on the battlefield, the hoof of the iron-shoe horse will still be injured.
