Chapter 120: Farming Finally Begins

Chen Xin's face became serious, this is a very serious problem, the big shield hand when the army was first expanded in the past was an old brother who had been transformed through a personal medical terminal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the army was expanded for the second time, there were not enough manpower, and it was the cyborgs who went up.

But now that the army has expanded several times again, he doesn't have that much energy to transform the physical fitness of all the big shields, let alone the energy to create so many cyborgs.

If the Great Shieldman can't complete the tactical moves and can't parry the oncoming enemy, then things are in trouble.

The musketeer behind the shield can only take the lead in striking those heavily armored or important targets under the cover of the shield, and the musket rate of fire is too low, once there are too many enemies rushing in, he can't kill them quickly.

So what else can be done?

This is a very serious problem, and it is impossible for Chen Xin to make a decision on the spot and write down the problem first.

Finally, Chen Xin will send out the various issues in the form of documents.

Weapons were sent to the workshop supervisors, and tactics were sent to officers at all levels.

After distributing them to the relevant departments separately, find ways to solve these problems.

After the inspection was over, Chen Xin continued to move forward.

"Bang bang" was filled with gunsmoke mixed with the sound of gunfire, and a firearms platoon of a recruit company completed a salvo.

The instructor shouted, "Take the fire rope, and the squad leaders check the fire." ”

50 bird gunners remove the arquebus from the dragon's head and clamp it between their fingers.

"Clear the fire gate."

The Bird Gunners used a cloth to wipe the fire door clean, so that no sparks would detonate the newly filled primer.

"Take the bomb."

The Bird-Bearers took out a cartridge from the ammunition box on their waists.

"Bite open the shell."

The bird-knives put the lead on its side downwards and bit open the paper shell from the other.

"Open the fire door cover."

With a slight swipe to the right, the fire door cover is opened.

"Invert the medicine."

Gently shake the cartridge and pour a certain amount of gunpowder into it.

"Close the fire cover."

"Erection guns."

"Reload."

The rest of the gunpowder was poured into the barrel, and the lead bullet at the other end slid down the barrel, and finally the bird-gunners stuffed the empty paper shells into it.

"Twitch rod."

"Compact."

"Swing back the bar."

"Flat gun."

"Check the arquebus."

The instructors shouted orders one by one, and the birds carried out the orders neatly.

There are other instructors next to each platoon who are observing, and if someone doesn't do it properly, it's a whipping.

Everyone paid attention, carefully recalling each action.

Chen Xin looked at the bird guns used by the soldiers, took out a small notebook and recorded it.

"Build sophisticated firearms as soon as possible to replace the captured Korean birds."

Watching the neat movements of all the companies along the way, the anxiety when I found the problem just now was reduced a lot.

Now the army has broken down all the movements, and there are specific requirements for each action, and the purpose of this is to standardize the training, daily queue training and housekeeping, so that they have good discipline.

At present, according to the different training objectives set by different branches of the armed forces, as long as they continue to be perfected and a complete military drill code is compiled, qualified soldiers can be quickly trained in the future.

The time was not until the fourth month of the lunar calendar (around May of the later Gregorian calendar), and the reconnaissance results of the eagle falcon showed that Huang Taiji still did not withdraw his troops, and his battalion was still firmly stationed on the opposite side of the Yalu River.

"Yizhou is Yizhou, if you want to consume it with me, then consume it, I don't believe it, I can stop you Huang Taiji this year, and I won't be able to stop my strength next year?"

Chen Xin decided, developed in Yiju, and immediately began to deal with various civil affairs.

First, officials at all levels of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were identified, and then a large number of farms were set up in the plains of Uiju.

There are more than 20,000 people in total, including the families of the sergeants, the families of the craftsmen, and the various people who have stolen them.

According to the number of strong laborers such as young and able-bodied women, 43 farms were established.

In order to improve everyone's enthusiasm for work, Chen Xin distributed all the land to individuals, not only lent rice and grain, but also collected a large number of cattle from the previous army, except for war horses and pack horses, all of them were singled out and distributed to various farms for farming.

It's already April, even if the planting time of the Xiaoice River period is slightly moved back, and everyone has less than 20 days left to plow the fields, and then the cultivated rice seedlings must be planted.

Fortunately, all the land is mature land that has been cultivated for a long time, and the speed of cultivating land is much faster than that of land reclamation.

According to the speed of the manual era, each ploughing ox could plough 3 acres a day, and the horses and donkeys had to be reduced slightly, and Chen Xin took turns arranging soldiers to help every day.

Before the end of the sowing period, more than 20,000 civilians and less than 5,000 soldiers completed the planting of 200,000 mu of rice with the help of more than 4,000 head of livestock.

In order to be able to gather 200,000 acres of paddy fields, Chen Xin was also heartbroken.

Carefully selecting a site on the map, and then surveying on the spot, all the natural rivers and ditches near Yizhou were overhauled and dredged, and hundreds of Lanzhou waterwheels were erected on the Yalu River and the larger inland rivers.

The Lanzhou waterwheel resembles a giant ancient wheel. With a radius of nearly 10 meters, it can lift water up to 18 meters high.

In the center of the spokes is a thick axle with two parallel rows of spokes around the axle, and at the end of each row of spokes is equipped with a scraper, between which a movable rectangular bucket is hung.

There is a wooden trough on the top of the waterwheel. The water flow pushes the scraper, driving the waterwheel to rotate slowly, and the bucket is scooped up with river water in turn, slowly rising, when it rises to the middle of the wheel, the bucket mouth flips down, and the water is poured into the wooden trough, which is led into the canal, and then into the field by the canal.

Although its irrigation capacity is very small, it is very suitable for the situation in Yizhou at this time because it rotates day and night, and a large waterwheel can water six or seven hundred acres of farmland, and a small one can also water two or three hundred acres of land, and does not need other energy sources, so it is very suitable for the situation in Yizhou at this time.

Finally did not delay the spring ploughing, Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief and sat in the tent drinking tea.

The supervisor in charge of the farm's tuntian affairs said, "My lord, in the past, in order to cultivate rice and save time, the livestock were divided, but after some farmers finished planting rice, they began to cultivate the surplus dry land again, and they were ready to plant some vegetables and miscellaneous grains. ”

Chen Xin shook his head, "As long as they can take care of themselves, don't care, it's a good thing that everyone has enthusiasm." As for the livestock, don't accept it, I said it at the beginning, the livestock is leased to everyone by the General's Mansion, and the ownership is still owned by the General's Mansion, and it is good to send someone down to check it every once in a while. ”
