Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 70

At the same time that Chai Lin returned to Cangzhou, Shuibo Liangshan was also undergoing tremendous changes.

A tall banner was erected on the square in front of the Juyi Hall, and the four big characters in the letter stood for the sky, and more than a thousand people from Liangshan lined up neatly.Wang Lun stood imposingly on the high platform, with Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Gui, and Zhu Fu in front of him.Some people say that Wang Lun is a rotten Confucian, but in fact, that is the opinion of the whole family. Can a rotten Confucian open up such a huge foundation as Shuibo Liangshan?
Wang Lunlang said: "Our Liangshan has reached the most dangerous time. If we don't change, we will die. There is only one choice between death and change. Which one do you choose?"

"Of course the choice has changed, change change." Everyone shouted.

Wang Lun said: "Because we have robbed merchants on the surrounding roads for a long time, few merchants have rushed to pass by now. From now on, all robbing merchants will be stopped. Whoever dares to rob again will rob my father and my mother. Not only will we not be able to rob, but we must also repair the roads around Shuibo Liangshan to protect the passage of merchants."

A little leader asked, "Then what shall we eat and drink?"

"You can't get it by robbing, so let's change it to levying robbing. Thirty taxes are collected from a pair of merchants. As for the villagers and people nearby, they are not allowed to make things difficult, and we don't take their needles and thread." Wang Lun said.

The audience was quiet, and the bandits were a little confused.

Wang Lun went on to say, "Chief Zhu Gui."

"Here." Zhu Gui went out and clasped his fists.

Wang Lun shouted: "From now on, Dongshan Hotel and Xishan Hotel will be restructured and expanded. On the basis of retaining the original hotels, we will open daily necessities department stores to sell various best-selling products to customers."

"Yes, my subordinate will arrange it immediately." Zhu Gui clasped his fists and went down to make arrangements.

"Zhu Fu." Wang Lun said.

"My subordinates are here." Zhu Fu came out.

Wang Lun said: "Your net worth is clean and you have no official record. Tomorrow you will go to Jeju City to open a store to specialize in various best-selling items and purchase various items that Liangshan needs. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, my subordinates will make arrangements tomorrow." Zhu Fu went down to make arrangements.

Immediately after Wang Lun carried out major reforms on a thousand minions, he selected the strongest 300 people to form two armies, and a navy army with 150 people was in charge of Song Wan, who practiced sailing, archery, and water battles every day. .An infantry force of 150 soldiers was trained by Wang Lun himself, at least three hours a day.The number of people has decreased, but the armor and weapons have been concentrated.

A blacksmith shop was also set up to focus on making weapons and farm tools, a shipbuilding workshop, and manufacturing ships and various wooden utensils.

Shuibo Liangshan was established relatively early, with complete four beams and eight pillars, clear internal management, and rapid reforms.

The remaining 700 people will be arranged in a unified manner.Some people opened up wasteland to build land, built pens, and prepared to plant in the spring to raise pigs and ducks.Some people drive fishing boats to carry out winter fishing in harbor forks and big lakes that can be seen everywhere.

Wang Lun and Du Qian went into battle in person. More than a dozen fishing boats pulled a large net of hundreds of meters, and saw the water splash and the fish inside. Exclaimed: "My God, look, this big net weighs several thousand catties."

"Nonsense, I think it's at least tens of thousands of catties."

Wang Lun was even more amazed that the huge seine was so powerful.

The boat landed on the island, and everyone pulled it hard, but they couldn't move it. Someone brought a horse.Dozens of people and horses pulled the huge fishing net to the shore.

Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded, it must have been too ruthless, this net had at least [-] catties of fish, everyone brought them into baskets and began to sort them.Because it is a fishing net with a large mesh, all the fish caught are big fish, generally weighing four to five catties, and some weighing more than ten catties.There are all kinds of carp, silver carp, fat head fish, crucian carp, herring and grass carp.

These fish are cleaned, cured with salt, then air-dried and smoked to produce smoked fish that can be stored for a long time.

Seeing the data in the newspaper in just a few days, Wang Lun couldn't believe his eyes, and asked, "Du Qian, are there really so many fish, 20 catties?"

"Of course, everything under two catties is put back into the water, otherwise there will be more. After two days of fishing, the nets will be collected and quit. Start building pens by the lake. Except for Dazhai Island, other The three islands are all used to breed geese and ducks, and there is no problem raising tens of millions of waterfowl on tens of miles of water." Du Qian said.

The wasteland reclamation team is also in full swing, with shovels and hoes working together to pull out the grass roots and burn them, leveling the land, and everyone is full of energy.

Wang Lun also came to the construction site to inspect the construction site after training. There are too many lands suitable for reclamation near Liangshan, and most of them are very fertile.

Wang Lun asked, "Why are you working so hard?"

Everyone laughed and said: "When you go back to the head of the family, you have a good life. You eat fish every day, and you are hot and dry. Can you be bored?"

Wang Lun said: "Everyone work hard, the government will not give us a way to survive, we will find a way to survive by ourselves. If we eat fish this year, we will be able to eat chicken and duck next year. Life will get better day by day."

"Okay, master." Everyone said.

In the past, Wang Lun was a lazy scholar, and he was not diligent. Today, he took off his cloak and worked with a hoe all morning.The big bosses of the cottage have all personally participated in the battle, so no one has any opinions, the power of an example can be compared to ten supervisors.

There are many experienced farmers in the wasteland reclamation team. They built canals at the same time as reclamation. Although the speed was slow, they took one step at a time.

Two days later, Wang Lun was leading 150 infantrymen to carry out cross-country running training along the Dazhaizi in Shuibo Liangshan. The infantrymen ran neatly, breathing steadily and vigorously, and gradually looked like infantrymen.The spear in his hand became brighter after being repaired by the blacksmith shop.

The island of Shuibo Liangshan is very large, and it takes about ten miles to run around, and the physique of the infantry is also developing in a good direction.Back at Juyi Hall Square, the infantrymen began to practice their spears again, shouting slogans, and it seemed lively.

Zhu Fu arrived with a happy face and said: "Brother, 150 sets of leather armor have been made, all of which are double-layer cowhide."

"Bring it to me." Wang Lun was overjoyed.

Zhu Fu handed the leather armor to Wang Lun, and saw that the leather armor was made of high-quality cowhide, hand-stitched by skilled craftsmen, and painted with patent leather.

It turned out that Wang Lun didn't even dare to think about it. Being a bandit, he had to be careful in doing things. First, he had no money, and second, he had no connections. Where could he get cowhide armor? But this matter is now easily settled.

"Besides that, I also found this, please take a look at it." Zhu Fu said and handed Wang Lun a large-brimmed rattan hat woven with thorns.

Wang Lun took a look and found that the thorns were relatively thick, and the inner lining was padded, which was very comfortable to wear on the head.Vitex is resistant to chopping, smashing, and even arrows.It's not as good as an iron helmet, but it's better than a turban.

Wang Lun shouted: "Little ones, gather and distribute armor and helmets."

"Promise." The infantry agreed and stood in line.Armor and helmets were distributed.

Now the team looks much tougher, with leather armor, spears, and helmets.

The carpenter's shop is rushing to make large shields and small shields, so that the equipment will be more complete.

In Song Wanna's navy, there were 150 centipede ships with [-] people in total, and each ship was equipped with ten sailors. They used bows, spears, and harpoons as weapons for long-distance combat, and simple knives for close-combat boarding.
