Now Lin Bin, standing in the crowd, really feels like he stands out from the crowd. Whether it is telling stories or teaching everyone to practice martial arts, it is particularly energetic. There are more and more people who follow Lin Bin to practice martial arts. Some people who pretend to be smart still think that this is a condition deliberately set by Zhang Zhun. As a result, the martial arts practice style of the entire Yangjiatun is said to be prosperous, and even an honest person like Yang Ruifeng has to dance twice when he has time.

In addition to the military uniforms and military flags, the cohesion and morale of the escort team have been improved again, and now the difference is the equipment.

One of the six-pointed stars has a sharp horn that represents the meaning of equipment, and Zhang Zhun will certainly not forget to improve the equipment of the escort team. However, I have to admit that in troubled times, it is indeed a troublesome thing to get enough iron. To buy, there is no channel for bulk purchases for the time being. In those days, iron was regulated. You have to forge it yourself, and you don't have the raw materials. Laoshan only has firewood, and there are not too many iron mines and coal mines, and there are no decent iron mines and coal mines in the jurisdiction of Fushan itself.

Armor or something, you definitely don't have to think about it, there is no such condition. In fact, apart from the soldiers, the military households did not have armor at all. Even Wang Shixin's family members probably don't have decent armor. The armor of the Ming army was concentrated in the Nine Sides and the Central Plains. If Zhang Zhun wants to obtain enough armor, he can only rely on future battle captures, or forge it himself. It's just that forging armor is more difficult than forging weapons, so you don't have to think about it for the time being.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhun ordered that some of the captured weapons be melted down and used to forge spears. More than twenty spears captured from the Black Panther had been equipped, one for each group commander and captain, but it was not enough. Moreover, in terms of quality, Zhang Zhun was still not satisfied with the captured spears.

The spears of the Ming army were made of wood, and because of poor storage and other reasons, these guns generally appeared to be relatively fragile and could be easily cut by sharp blades. When it really starts, it's not even as good as a bamboo gun. For a really good spear, the barrel should be made of ash wood, and Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers are equipped with excellent quality white pole guns. Zhang Zhun couldn't get ash, so he had to find another way. He shall forge a spear of pure iron, of pure iron from beginning to end, and not of any wood.

Such a spear, Zhang Zhun calculated, weighs more than 30 catties, and without a little strength, it can't be wielded, so it's just enough to make the soldiers of the escort team have a strong sense of self-motivation. If you want to use such a spear, you have to train yourself desperately and improve your strength.

Zhang Zhun tested it and thought it was quite good. Such a pure iron spear, in battle, will be the absolute main force, and no matter how sharp the enemy uses, it will be impossible to cut the spear. As long as the power of the assassination is sufficient, it is definitely one shot at a time, one shot at a time, clean and neat. Unless it's a shield made of steel, it can be shattered with a single shot.

Li Fenglai estimated that a pure iron spear would require about fifty catties of pig iron, plus other materials, and the cost of each spear would be about twenty taels of silver. If the escort is fully equipped, the cost will be about two thousand taels of silver.

"Two thousand taels of silver......

Zhang Zhun had to admit that even in ancient times, sophisticated weapons were piled up with silver. Don't know how much a musket costs? I'm afraid I can't do it without fifty taels of silver, right? If the muskets are so expensive, I'm afraid that the red-coated cannons will be even more expensive.

It seems that you still have to be self-reliant!

If you make iron yourself, the cost will definitely not be so expensive.

The question is, where can you get iron ore and coal mines?

"Brother Feng, when you go to Zhaojiatun tomorrow, tell Zhao Laoba that I want to meet that Mr. Yu." Zhang Zhun thought of an idea.

"Okay." Yang Ruifeng agreed.

Zhang Zhun meant that he would exchange refined salt for iron, if only he could directly exchange it for weapons.

The next day, Yang Ruifeng told Zhao Laoba in Zhaojiatun according to Zhang Zhun's meaning. Zhao Laoba promised to send a message to Yu Nanyi, but at the same time told Yang Ruifeng that Yu Nanbi might not be in Shandong. If you want to wait for him to arrive in Yangjiatun, it may take a long time, and it is obviously impossible before the arrival in May.

"Yu Nandi is not in Shandong? Where did it go? Zhang Zhun asked curiously.

"It is said that I went to the area of Datong Xuanfu." Yang Ruifeng replied.

Zhang Zhun nodded subconsciously and didn't say anything.

The master behind Yu Nanyi, the energy is still quite large, and he actually went to Shanxi.

Could it be that she actually has the ability to sell refined salt from Shandong to distant Shanxi?

Originally, Zhang Zhun was still a little skeptical, whether the person behind Yu Nanyi would be the female salt lord who was rescued in Laoshan that day, and only she could give a gift to Yang Yinghan. But now it seems that it should not be. How could a salt lord who could sell illicit salt so far fall into such a trap? Besides, what did she do in Laoshan? There is no private salt there!

Since Yu Nanyi was not in Shandong, Zhang Zhun had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

"Yulin, are you free? I want to tell you something. ”

On the third day after the flag-raising ceremony, Yang Kaide actually went to the barracks to find Zhang Zhun.

"Yes. What's up? ”

Zhang Zhun said concisely.

Yang Kaide looked at the six-pointed star red flag fluttering above the barracks, and said enviously: "That, the flag, can you give us one too?" ”

Zhang Zhun said suspiciously: "Uncle, you ......"

I thought, your old man is about to turn sixty, and you still come to the escort team to toss? When I trained, I didn't show mercy, even if you were your future father-in-law. Not to mention anything else, just the long-distance run on Red Rock Beach every day, your old man can't bear it!

Fortunately, Yang Kaide explained, which was different from Zhang Zhun's imagination.

It turned out that the initiator was not Yang Kaide, but Yin Gensheng and a few of them. These old people feel that they work for the escort team, and they can be regarded as a member of the escort team, and they don't want the military uniforms of the escort team, but they hope that Zhang Zhun will give them a flag to show their identity. To put it bluntly, I want everyone to know that they have a close relationship with the Guardians.

That's right, they were afraid of Wang Shixin, a bastard, and didn't dare to come forward rashly. However, the escort easily killed the Panthers, and they were not afraid. Now they wish everyone knew that they were doing things for the escort team. It's a great honor, and everybody is proud of it!

Yang Kaide rarely relied on the old and sold the old, and said helplessly: "Yulin, if you don't give us a banner, we don't have much energy to work!" ”

Zhang Zhun said euphemistically: "Uncle, this is a military flag!" It's used on the battlefield! ”

Yang Kaide said without giving up: "I know, this is not ...... Can you get us a similar flag to identify us? ”

Zhang Zhun said suspiciously: "Uncle, now everyone in the whole tun knows that you are doing things for the escort team!" What other flags do you need to identify yourself? ”

Yang Kaide hurriedly said: "Of course you need, of course you need to." You see, we are all bystanders at your flag-raising ceremony, but in fact we are not counted in it, don't you say? Yulin, you can't leave us old men out! Why are you young people in it, and we old men are ostracized? ”

Zhang Zhunzheng's painstaking explanation did not reject such a thing at all, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of something. He was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Uncle Yang, it's okay to give everyone a flag." However, the premise is that they must swear to this banner, to be loyal to it forever, never to abandon it, and never to wave. If anyone betrays, they will be punished severely! ”

Yang Kaide was stunned, and he didn't fully understand what Zhang Zhun meant for a while.

Zhang Zhun explained: "The flag or something, in fact, is not important. The important thing is that you need an identity, right? Since everyone wants to identify themselves as the backbone supporters of the Escort Force, it doesn't matter, let's set up an organization. ”

Yang Kaide said suspiciously: "Organization? What is an organization? ”

Zhang Zhun said methodically: "To put it simply, it is similar to the Smelling Fragrance Sect and the like, a collection of many people. However, the surname is definitely not a ghost like the Smelling Fragrance Sect. Our organization is all our own people. All are die-hard supporters of the Guard. After joining this organization, everyone often participates in activities together, exchanges their ideas, contributes their own strength, and fulfills their obligations. ”

"For example, Uncle Yang, after you join this organization, you may have to be responsible for a certain aspect of work. For example, you're in charge of logistics. If I go somewhere with my convoy to fight, I need a lot of support. I'm not looking for other fathers and fellow villagers, I'm looking for you. I'm telling you, I need logistical support, and you're in charge of getting it done. ”

"How do you do it? You're looking for someone else in the organization, of course. Everyone in our organization should be the backbone and the leader of everyone. Each of us should have a few military households around us, and as long as you issue any orders, the military households will actively participate and work together to complete this task. ”

"I wonder if Uncle has seen a fishing net? Every member of our organization is the thick rope in the fishing net, and the others are the thin line in the fishing net. Thick and thin lines are intertwined to form a dense fishing net. However, in the end, it is mainly our thick ropes that determine whether the nets work or not. ”

Yang Kaide didn't understand very well, how could he, an ancient person, understand what an organization was, but he was very interested in Zhang Zhun's idea, and said with great interest: "You wait a while, I'll call them all over, and everyone will sum it up together." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Yang Kaide turned and went.

Taking advantage of Yang Kaide's call, Zhang Zhun carefully sorted out his thoughts.
