Chapter 152 Detailed discussion
While organizing their training, Zhang Yang looked at Li Shanchang with the afterglow of his eyes.
Sure enough, he was shocked by the training of his own people. No wonder that his cross-era weapons could not make any ordinary person curious.
Zhang Yang didn't give up until there were more boats around.
"Time to take a break and then carry out weapon disassembly training." Zhang Yang said.
After the launch of Tianque, it is necessary to remove the gunpowder residue in the gunp tube, so as not to affect the future launch, because this is black gunpowder. After burning, there are more residues. Therefore, everyone should not only be able to shoot a hundred times, but also be familiar with weapons, disassemble weapons and reassembled. It is a focus of training.
However, just after the launch, it can't be carried out, because the tube has begun to be a little hot. Take advantage of the cooling time of the tube, let everyone rest, and then disassemble it.
"Son Zhang, what kind of weapon are you, so sharp?" Li Shanchang asked.
"My fire is called Tianque." Zhang Yang said lightly.
Tianque? Li Shanchang thought about the name.
"I don't know how Brother Li feels?" Zhang Yang asked.
"I'm afraid that only one or two advanced weapons can't control history." Li Shanchang suppressed his inner excitement and said, "Only those who win the hearts of the people can get the world."
"Yes, it was the Yuan Dynasty that lost the hearts of the people, or they had never won the hearts of the people. Therefore, now the world is in chaos, and the heroes around them are competing for the deer. There is a saying that water can carry the boat and can also overturn the boat." Zhang Yang said.
"Well, I don't know what Mr. Zhang has?" Li Shanchang asked.
"That's why I invited Brother Li. I would like to hear Brother Li's opinions." Zhang Yang said.
"Qin Rebellion, Han Gaoqi cloth clothes, open-minded and generous, good-minded, not fond of killing people, and became an imperial career in five years. Today's Yuangang has been established, and the world has collapsed. What he has done is not enough for the world. Li Shanchang shook his head and said.
Zhang Yang shook his head. I don't understand. This ancient Chinese is too troublesome. Let me use a saying!
"Son Mr. Zhang, during the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, Gaozu Liu Bang was also from the people. He was open-minded and generous, knew people well, and it only took him five years to achieve the career of the emperor. Now the world is no longer Yuan. As long as you can learn from Liu Bang and follow his behavior, this world must be yours.
Li Shanchang has been thinking about these words for a long time. He was going to say this to Zhu Yuanzhang. After seeing Zhang Yang, these words suddenly came out to Zhang Yang.
Yes, talents. In troubled times, talents are the most important. Soldiers can be recruited casually, but thousands of troops are easy to get, and good generals are hard to find. However, I have dug two people from Zhu Yuanzhang's side. Wu has Tang He, Wen has Li Shanchang, plus Li Bosheng, Lv Zhen and others are already There are a lot of talents. Unconsciously, I have already met the conditions that I should have to achieve a great career. Xu Da is Zhu Yuanzhang's best friend, but I don't know, where is Chang Yuchun? It would be better to dig him up before he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhang Yang straightened his posture and saluted Li Shanchang: "Brother Li, please help me achieve a great career."
Li Shanchang crawled on the ground: "I, Li Shanchang, am willing to help Mr. Zhang achieve great things!"
Zhang Yang pulled up Li Shanchang: "With Brother Li coming to help me, I believe I will succeed!" Looking at the endless lake outside, Zhang Yang's heart was surging.
"Hey, what are you looking at? It's time for a litter of incense. Disassemble the weapon quickly. The gunpowder residue in the tube must be cleaned up!" Zhang Yang looked at these people in the bow, pulled down his face and said.
"Brother Li, let's go to the cabin to talk about it in detail."
Zhang Yang took Li Shanchang's hand, as if he were his own brother, and walked into the cabin, and the two of them sat down.
"I don't know how many people Mr. Zhang have now?" Li Shanchang asked.
Since he is his confidant, Zhang Yang also told him frankly: "At present, I am still in the development stage. There are about 200 soldiers and about 100 logistics personnel."
"Now the world is in chaos, and there are people around. Why don't we recruit a large number of people?"
"I'm still developing. The more people there are, the more the cost will be. Therefore, so far, I have only expanded to a team of more than 200 people. Moreover, the powerful weapon you see is a little complicated, which requires strict training, and the output is not high. Therefore, I have to develop it for another period of time before I can The size of the team has been further expanded. Zhang Yang said.
"This is not good, Mr. Zhang. You see that all the in the rebels around you are sparing no effort to expand the army. Manpower is also a necessary factor. I'm afraid that these hundreds of people are still unprepaed if they want to attack the city and land." Li Shanchang said.
"What's Brother Li's opinion?" Zhang Yang faintly felt that Li Shanchang's thinking was a little different from his own.
"If you want to achieve great things, a strong team is indispensable. Now there are exiles everywhere. As long as you want, you can recruit enough young and middle-aged people at any time. They have a deep hatred for Yuanting. Therefore, soldiers are not a problem. The key is whether you are willing to do so or not."
"After there are more people, how to solve my salary and weapons? At present, the production capacity of Tianque is not high. Zhang Yang said.
"There should be no problem to make such an advanced weapon, such an ordinary knife and spear!" Li Shanchang said.
"This is natural, that is, a fine steel spear. You can make as much as you want at any time." Zhang Yang said.
"Without your advanced Tianque, ordinary fine steel spears, they are also good weapons. With soldiers and weapons, you can attack the city and take strategic places. As far as I know, those large families are all about food and silver. Moreover, as long as you capture the salt field first, are you worried that there is no money? Li Shanchang said.
Zhang Yang's eyes lit up. Indeed, he seemed to have entered a misunderstanding. To raise the army, he needed money. Moreover, in order to build an army ahead of this era, he needed a large amount of money. In order to earn more money, he needed to rack his brains, think to make money, and even take a lot of risks. Doing business with Zhu Yuanzhang, and now, Li Shanchang said that taking down the salt farm is equivalent to having a treasure basin. Are you still worried about not having silver?
Moreover, he knows all the brothers in the salt farm. As a salt farmer, he is more miserable than ordinary farmers. With a poor amount of money, he is ridden on the head by the officials of the salt farm. Because he did well and became a gang of teeth, he was able to fish in troubled waters and make a lot of money. He let a group of brothers who followed him live a good life. Those brothers who dried salt in the salt field also inquired about it and wanted to follow him, but he was afraid that he would leak the news, so he did not agree.
Several major salt farms nearby, Baiju Farm, Dingxi Farm and Caoyan Farm are not far away from each other. Once it is controlled here, it is a money printing machine.
However, this is not in line with my plan. What I want is a well-equipped army that can compete with one hundred. Isn't it a mob to recruit people at will?
Li Shanchang seemed to see through Zhang Yang's worries, and then said, "Now the output of Tianque is not high, so those who can use Tianque are the elite troops of the eldest brother, and the general troops, using fine steel spears, are already very good weapons. People who are brave in battle can transfer him to the elite troops. In this way, it can play the role of a good surname cycle. When the output of Tianque is enough, it can be fully equipped. However, I still think it is better to separate. Only when the troops have ladders can they be motivated to fight. Everyone wants to enter the elite troops. If the weapons are advanced, their chances of survival will be higher. They can also improve the rate of the elite troops to boost morale. In fact, being able to equip fine steel spears is also much more advanced than other inde rebels. Compared with weapons, what is more important is training. Only with strict discipline can the troops have combat effectiveness.
He said it right, and Zhang Yang couldn't help nodding.
Zhang Yang has always had the biggest headache, such as food and salary and weapons. He tried his best to make money. Only when he had money could he expand the army and desperately improve the production capacity of Tianque. He hoped to use this cross-era weapon to improve the capital of hegemony for himself. Therefore, progress has been slow. Looking at all kinds of invoic groups outside, singing triumphant songs and attacking the city, I can only wait. This small team of about 200 people can only be used as a car in the army of tens of thousands of people.
Now, Li Shanchang has said the solution: to establish two kinds of services, one is the current elite troops, equipped with Tianque, and the other is ordinary field troops, as long as they are equipped with ordinary cold weapons. In this way, the problem of weapons will not be a problem immediately. After the war, the elites of the ordinary troops can be transferred to the elite troops. The elite troops have advanced weapons, strong combat effectiveness and rich money. In this way, people are aiming at this force and have motivation. The lack of production capacity of Tianque has been solved.
With the expansion of their territory, there will be more and more skilled blacksmiths who can be recruited, and the production capacity of Tianque will be slowly raised. Until the end, everyone has Tianque, and everyone is a sharpshooter. With this powerful army and strict discipline, why worry about failure?
"Today, the world is in chaos, and the heroes are rising together. Only Taizhou is relatively stable. Therefore, most of the troops stationed have been transferred to suppress the uprising. The troops are empty. We just rise up and put our Han flags in Gaoyou! Now, all the land is occupied by the tars and large households. As long as we take the land and give it back to the farmers, then all the farmers will support us!" The more Li Shanchang said, the more brilliant his face became.
Zhang Yang knows that Li Shanchang is very right. For thousands of years, all struggles have basically been for two words: land, which is the foundation of farmers' survival. Only when the land is in the hands of the farmers themselves, will the world be stable, and the land will be merged by a few rulers. If a large number of farmers can't live, the world will be in chaos. Therefore, this land policy must be vigorously implemented.
The more they talked, the more speculative they became. They didn't find that it was dark outside, and they didn't find that there was an inconspicuous boat that had been following them.
