Chapter 80 Summary, Experience, Lessons, Celebration

(0080)

【Today's first update is delivered, please collect it, please recommend it ~~~】

Zhang Zhun explained that this "certain quality" contains many levels of meaning. He gave several examples as an explanation. The first example is that a hundred muskets should be able to fire one hundred muskets. The second example shows that a waist knife that can be used for three years must be able to be used for three years. If one of the one hundred muskets cannot be fired, it means that the quality is not up to standard. If the waist knife is damaged in less than three years, it is also not up to standard.

"Yulin, your requirements are really high!"

When Li Fenglai and the three of them were at first, they thought that Zhang Zhun only had quantity and quality, but later they found out that it was not the case. Zhang Zhun had high requirements for quality. He just didn't want everyone to pursue meaningless quality, but the basic quality was very high, very high. No musket could fail, and any waist knife would have to be able to be used for three years. Such quality requirements are really too high.

"Do you have the confidence to do it?"

Zhang Zhun looked at the three of them with glittering eyes and asked expectantly.

The three of them looked at each other and measured it seriously for a while. After a long time, they slowly said: "Yu Lin, we can do it, and we can also supervise others to do it. But in this way, the productivity may be reduced."

Zhang Zhun nodded casually and said slowly: "The production efficiency is reduced, there is no problem, we can invest more manpower. However, the quality must be guaranteed. To ensure the quality, you must strictly check the steel from the stage of smelting. If the quality of the steel refined is not up to standard, everything will be in vain in the future."

The three of them suddenly felt heavy pressure.

Zhang Zhun was right, it was true. No matter what kind of weapon it was, it was inseparable from steel. If the quality of steel was not up to standard, no matter how skilled the craftsman was, he could not create a weapon of high quality. The Ming army's muskets or artillery often had a blow-off phenomenon. Isn't it because the quality of steel was not up to standard?

However, it is not easy to achieve the quality of steel? This involves a very professional technical field. The three of them believe that Zhang Zhun definitely doesn't understand. In fact, how can they say the word "understand"? There is no end to research in this professional field. There is always room for improvement in pursuit of excellence. There is no best, only better.

When Zhang Zhun saw the three of them looking solemn, he said with a smile: "Actually, uncles and uncles, don't be nervous. I asked you to come up with the best quality steel at once. Let's improve step by step! You can ask me for any materials and how much food you need. If you think the craftsmen are good at skill, you can also invite them, and I will pay them satisfactory wages. As the saying goes, everyone is high in firewood, and everyone works hard together. The quality of steel will always improve bit by bit."

Li Feng said, "Then the three of us will come and trouble you often."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Isn't it the best thing to communicate with everyone? You are in charge of technology, and I am responsible for formulating systems. When you have more people, I will set up some systems to stimulate all blacksmiths and contribute to improving the quality of steel. You can tell them now that if you can make small improvements, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. If you make major improvements, you will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver. If you make decisive improvements, you will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. If the improvements are more effective, you can also be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!"

The three of them suddenly had their eyes lit up.

People die for money, and birds die for food. Who can not be moved by money?

Before they knew it, the three of them could no longer help but be ready to do a big fight.

……………………

He smiled and sent Li Fenglai and others away, Zhang Zhun left Maojiatun and returned to the Hongshitan Military Camp.

It was two days since the battle ended, and the soldiers' summary was almost done. That night, Zhang Zhun held a battle summary meeting. This battle, there were quite a lot of lessons learned. Everyone spoke very positively, especially those new soldiers. After winning the battle, the one who was most excited was of course the new soldiers, and the old soldiers were generally calm.

The most important gain of this battle is to establish the strong self-confidence of every warrior. Even the Tartars were killed by everyone, so what kind of enemies could be stronger than the Tartars? No matter what kind of enemies they encounter in the future, they should not be psychologically stressed. The current guard team is full of momentum and unstoppable.

Of course, Zhang Zhun himself knew very well that more than a dozen sporadic Tartars without horses were completely different from established organized Tartar cavalry. The Jurchens were not as satisfied with ten thousand and were invincible. Although this statement was despised by everyone, it actually made some sense. Once the Tartar cavalry reached a certain number, they could fully utilize their ability to fight mobile combat, attack in a certain way, cooperate with each other, fight if they could win, and run away if they could not win. However, everyone's enthusiasm could never be attacked.

There are many lessons that everyone has summarized.

The first one is that there is no suitable armor.

If there were suitable helmets, those three soldiers would not be shot in the middle of the brain by the Tartars. At least they could be pulled back to rescue. As it turned out, the wet cotton coat still had a certain defense ability for arrowheads. The three soldiers who were also shot by the Tartars and were blocked by the cotton coat were lucky to survive. The arrow was inserted into their bodies less than two inches. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, they could return to the battlefield in a month.

Therefore, some people suggest that using a dog-skin hat as a helmet will also be soaked during war and worn on the head. Hao Linyong and others have conducted experiments and found that if the wet cotton hat is thick enough, it can indeed resist the damage of some arrowheads. Of course, the effect is not as good as the cotton coat. After all, the forehead is the most important part of the human body, and once it is hit, it is very easy to damage. In fact, even if it has a helmet, it may not be able to completely block the damage of the Tartar arrowheads.

This question is for now.

Second, there are not enough firearms.

Because the guards started late, it was definitely too late to train archers, so they could only start with firearms. In fact, there were many firearms in the Ming Dynasty, from tiger squat cannons with a range of only ten meters to red-clothed cannons with a range of several thousand meters. However, they were rebels and could not get these weapons. Everything had to be self-reliant and had enough food and clothing. The first step to self-reliance is to start with steel.

The reason why Zhang Zhun asked Li Fenglai and others to strictly control the quality of iron smelting was because of this consideration. Firearms are not like steel knives and spears. Even if they are damaged, they will not hurt themselves. Once the muskets and cannons explode, it will be a catastrophic consequence. When Qi Jiguang first started killing Japanese pirates, hundreds of people were killed and injured in a battle, and more than half were killed and injured in the explosion of his firearms. In anger, Qi Jiguang no longer used muskets.

"The most critical factor in war is humanity!"

“Weapons are just an important factor!”

"As long as the human factors are fully stimulated, even if the weapons are a little bit worse, they can still win the battle! On the contrary, if the human factors are not stimulated, no matter how good the weapons are, they can only be the leader of the transportation team! Where did the Tartars' weapons come from? Where did the Tartars' steel supplies come from? It was not stolen from the Ming Dynasty! Every time the Tartars enter the pass, they have to snatch a large amount of population supplies! This is the key to their fight becoming stronger and stronger!"

On the issue of firearms, Zhang Zhun decisively educated everyone to prevent the spread of the sentiment of relying on advanced weapons to fight. Now the guards have a long way to go if they want to equip all firearms. During this period, everyone must use spears and triangular stings to fight.

The third problem is the issue of distribution of military achievements.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhun set the rule that he killed an enemy and rewarded one acre of military field. In the battle two days ago, the guards wiped out a total of hundreds of enemies, including thirteen Tartars. According to Zhang Zhun's intention, killing each Tartar was rewarded with ten acres of military field. As a result, when distributing military achievements, there was a dispute. Everyone said that an enemy was killed by himself and the credit should belong to him. The five Tartars were killed by the musketeers. At that time, there were thirteen musketeers. Who killed the Tartars could not be judged, and they could only be a common judgment on their merits. At the same time, the musketeers attacked under the cover of others. Could it be that others had no credit at all?

The distribution of military achievements involves fairness, justice, openness, and healthy competition within the army. Of course, Zhang Zhun did not dare to take it lightly, so he personally presided over and transferred the military achievements again to analyze the situation at that time. As a result, it took a long time to finally evaluate the military achievements, and basically no one had any objections. In the end, Peng Bo, Zhang Yatie, Yang Zixuan and others, the military achievements were the most outstanding.

After the summary meeting ended, it was a celebration meeting. This celebration meeting was even more grand than last time. After all, there were only representatives from Yangjiatun last time, and only a few hundred people were there. This time, representatives from the eight villages of Fushan Institute arrived, with thousands of people. The scene was naturally lively, serious and solemn.

At this celebration, Liu Hang, Wang Mingyu and Hou Shanping officially appeared on the rostrum. The military field distribution of the guards, the exemption of taxes, and the logistics supply involved the three of them. The three of them were also representatives of the people in each town. As a special representative, Mr. Mao San also came to the stage to speak. The old man was full of energy and exaggerated his achievements in Liaodong back then, encouraging everyone to fight the Tartars bravely.

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

The atmosphere at the scene was pushed to the top by Master Mao San, and the soldiers below were roaring angrily, with fierce hearts. Zhang Zhun secretly praised in his heart that Master Mao San was really the source of political commissar. It seemed that he had to arrange an honorary position in the guard team, so that he could help boost the morale of the soldiers every day.
