Now that he became a battalion manager, he was recognized by the General’s Mansion in Guangzhou and his membership name. Although he was asked to bring back a wooden plaque engraved with a famous name and ministry, it also meant that Zhou Huaian could be well-placed. Under the banner of Stormrage Camp, more resources have been mobilized and used.
For example, as long as he takes the initiative to confess, he can take people out of the camp in a fair way, collect and purchase the necessary materials and materials, without the need to report and ask for unnecessary matters; or it is the righteousness of the Stormrage Camp that is preparing for battle, Let people directly requisition or take over temporarily, and be responsible for specific places, personnel and other resources within the boundaries; this also means that Zhou Huai'an's specific scope of activities and the sources of information and intelligence collection are further expanded.
In a sense, the possibility of him wanting to escape and get out is even greater than that in Shixiang Town; but in this case, he has put out his thoughts of trickery, after all. The vast Lingnan land is no better than the densely populated Jiangnan roads with convenient transportation. If he really wants to leave by himself, how far and where can he go.
Therefore, he focused his attention and thoughts on the things around him, so that going out early and returning late and the lights lit up all night gradually became a normal state in Stormrage Camp. Therefore, after busying for several days, he finally waited for the preliminary acceptance results.
Under the three poles of daylight,
Under the skill of a veteran soldier who was born as a head shaver, Zhou Huaian's hair gradually grew long and curled down, and it was truncated again, leaving only the thin hair stubble like an inch, and then dried and ground it. Foam of saponaria foamed on his mouth, and began to shave his beard with a small polished spatula soaked in water.
This is also his exclusive privilege as a monk, because most men in this era have the habit of growing beards, and men without beards are usually regarded as eggless father-in-laws, or advocates. A slave and maidservant who is so kind. And when he was mixed in the crowd, he would be mistakenly identified as a monk by Xiaowei Chai. This is also the reason.
After repairing his head and face, with the diligent help of Xiao Qi holding a hot water pot, he began to rinse the debris on his head and face, and then wiped some foam on his head and face again, which can produce turbid foam. Is one of the short-lived results of his efforts during this period of time,
The finely sieved reeds and bamboo wormwood wood ash, plus the animal fats from the boiled and filtered, after sufficient stirring and reaction, it becomes the yellow and black dirty stuff like the dozens of skimmers in front of you. This is what it has The original soap with certain cleaning and washing effect;
This also means that he can finally wash his clothes and body well, instead of continuing to rub his body with smelly dried pig pancreas and melon flesh, especially when washing his hair, use this kind of thing on the scalp. It is simply torture. Only limited by the raw materials and cost of hand-made this thing, the current poor output can only be used as a trial product, giving the team directly above the team a few dollars each, which can be regarded as a disguised buy-in and popularization. .
Although because of its appearance, this thing really made a lot of jokes after it was sent out, but once you understand its use and benefits, it quickly becomes a popular thing in various senses. And Zhou Huaian, who had a real whimsical idea, could easily become the target of everyone's successive help and inquiries, and slowly revealed a certain expanded influence.
After tidying up personal hygiene, Zhou Huaian can see a busy and identical center of the camp through a window with a good view. Except for the routine training personnel, most of the rest are concentrated in Here, a variety of temporary production and material preparation activities are carried out; in fact, even the new pawns after the expansion have been adjusted to the schedule, only the exercises and equipment in the morning are arranged, and they will be fully transferred after lunch. Joined the role of a helper in the production of the camp.
With the figures pushing the trolleys constantly coming in and out, the old swords, guns and sticks were taken back together, and the blacksmiths in the camp were re-polished and refurbished. The damaged and incomplete parts were melted and replaced with new ones. Come out, and on this basis, try to achieve a limited unified style and regulation,
And in the corner of a blacksmith's shed that clinked and sparked, several shirtless men were swinging sledgehammers and hitting a few iron pieces, and finally forged them into curved flat bars little by little; finally, they were separated. After being tempered in fine sand and chalky water, it is basically formed;
This is the original spring sheet steel forged with pig iron and wrought iron sheets. After punching and slotting with iron felt and drills, it is a ready-made bow arm. The longer one is the iron arm bow, and the shorter Some crossbow arms; with fixed angles and ribs, it is a freshly made reinforced crossbow.
According to the test results of several samples made in advance, although there are slight differences due to the rough handwork, at least in terms of the elasticity of the stored force, these reinforced iron-arm bows are better than traditional wooden bows and angle bows. It was much stronger; therefore, it soon became a sought-after item in the camp, and the generals headed by Wang Pan could not help but begged to leave and refused to return.
And he also seems to underestimate the obsession and care of these ancients for having a good bow, and it is no worse than the mood of later generations who really love to lay down and queue up all night to buy "Kidney Seven", so during this period of time in the blacksmith's shed. In addition, there are always all kinds of onlookers and prying figures who can't drive away.
Then, it dismantled and imitated the several wooden single crossbows. By replacing the clip iron crossbow arms, adding the simple cutting and polishing wooden support and the lower grip, adding the stepped looking mountain and the front sight ring, there is no In the case of adding too much weight, and finally concocted twenty-five so-called iron single crossbows that can be chopped on one hand and fired steadily with the other hand; ten of them were bargained, and the priority rationing near the water tower was given to ten of Zhou Huai’an’s men. A few soldiers, it is considered that they have fulfilled their promises to them.
He also privately used all fine iron for himself to create a small iron-armed crossbow that can be wound quickly, which is justified as a close protection. However, the current military industry improvement is only to this extent, because only this modification on the crossbow basically consumes most of the high-quality iron materials that can be collected in the current Stormrage Camp.
In addition to the preparations for logistical assistance, for example, in temporary warehouses and sheds, some people are using pulp-cooked coarse cloth and woven straw, together with the hardwood base that should be planed and shaped, to make a pair of pairs. New shoes to facilitate long journeys.
Others, under the leadership of the tailor team, used the collected coarse cloth and thick silk to make leggings and straps, as well as satchels and waist bags sewn with coarse cloth. At the same time, a group of people are running outside, collecting materials for making hats and fur coats and other rain gear; in the kitchen, they have begun to steam and bake dead pancakes that are easy to carry and store for a long time. They will no longer begrudge the firewood to smoke and roast the slaughtered animals into dryness. Candied fruit, wind wax and bacon. . .
There is no tall glass steel cement steam engine, only lime, adobe bricks, pig iron, wood and pottery, coarse cloth and rattan from local materials; basically it is the changes from the subtleties of these gestures and daily routines to ensure This temporary sheltering army can get a better state of battle and a bonus on potential action; and even provide itself with a better shelter environment and living conditions.
In other words, it is also a preparatory rehearsal and experience of an action when he wants to leave in the future.
However, Zhou Huaian, who was rarely dressed neatly in a cyan long robe today, had another important thing; for this, Wang Pan even sent his own bronze official defense and wooden Qi. (End of this chapter)
