Zhang Sihai is doing some psychological construction for himself.
A propaganda team is just a propaganda team, and they vary in size.
I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
It's much better to have the final say by yourself than to be in the hands of others.
However, Zhang Sihai was still happy.
Knowing what kind of virtue he had when he was the shopkeeper at Lion House, how could Yun Chao put power in his hands alone.
"Sihai, you are the captain, and Miss Xian'er is the instructor. You have the final say in administrative work, and Miss Xian'er has the final say in personnel and life. By the way, she is also responsible for supervising you and preventing you from making mistakes. Understand ?"
"Ming...understood."
Zhang Sihai was about to cry but had no tears. What else could he say? Yun Chao said more than once during his lectures that power should be put in a cage. The girl Xian'er who was born in Feng Le Lou was the cage he prepared for himself!
"By the way Sihai, that Xiaohong should also be transferred to your publicity team and serve as your vice-captain, supervising with Miss Xian'er... to assist you in your work."
Zhang Sihai: "..."
Before Zhang Sihai could leave, Tang Long came.
"Brother Chao, what do you think this is?"
As he spoke, Tang Long excitedly placed a wooden box in his arms on the ground, as if treating his newlywed wife, and couldn't wait to open the bag... Oh, he opened the box.
Damn it!
Yun Chao stood up immediately.
"Lao Tang, it's really yours, you got it out so quickly!"
Inside the box are several huge sets of bearings.
Compared with the exquisite bearings that Yun Chao saw in later generations, these bearings were so ugly that they were simply unsightly.
To describe him as stupid, big, black and thick is no exaggeration.
However, in Yun Chao's eyes, they are more beautiful than beauties, and much more beautiful!
There were thousands of beauties in the Dawu Dynasty, but there were only these few sets of bearings!
Of course, Yun Chao is talking about rolling bearings. The original bearings have been around for a long time. Without bearings, where would the wheels come from?
After looking at several pairs of bearings, Yun Chao was generally quite satisfied.
This is a roller bearing, not a ball bearing with lots of steel balls.
There's no way, with Tang Long's current technology, they still can't make round balls.
Compared with balls, it is undoubtedly much simpler to make rollers. Just make a thin steel rod and cut it into small short columns.
"Lao Tang, don't be limited by your original experience. After you go back, immediately organize a few masters to study the molds for making bearings. Clay, cast iron, sand and gravel, try all these materials, and strive to achieve mass production as soon as possible."
After discussing mold improvements with Yunchao for a while, Tang Long returned to Wolong Village with the bearing samples.
After Tang Long left, Yun Chao went to the Qingyang camp without stopping to train with the new recruits.
Training with your soldiers is one of the best ways to unite the masses.
Of course, Yun Chao participated in the training not just to win people's hearts, but to improve his combat skills.
In the era of cold weapons, the physical fitness of the commander is very important.
Just marching long distances can eliminate weak commanders.
Ever since he time traveled, Yun Chao has never dared to slack off. Whenever he has time, he will exercise hard and improve his physique as much as possible.
Yun Chao is really too busy.
Luo Zhiyuan, who had just returned from training at Qingyang Camp and was training soldiers in Wangjiaji, jumped back.
"Brother Chao, the specific situation of the Chiyan Mountain Iron Mine has been thoroughly investigated. There are usually more than 20 soldiers guarding it, and there are more than 300 miners. The county captain of Changshen County is said to be very skillful. There are four or five town inspections that listen to him. If we summon the local warriors, there will be almost two to three thousand, but then they will start a large-scale war with us..."
"Zhiyuan, do you mean to occupy the iron mine now? Is your recruit camp ready for training?"
Luo Zhiyuan shook his head first, then nodded: "The new barracks are not ready yet, but it will definitely be okay to fight some local warriors. Wangjiaji has been almost controlled by stones now, and our new barracks can be freed up to participate in actual combat training."
"OK!"
Yun Chao slapped the table: "You go back and prepare immediately. I will go there myself in three days!"
Because he wanted to steal something from the county captain in the next county, Yun Chao did not dare to take it lightly and prepared to go over and watch it in person.
"Very good!"
Luo Zhiyuan finally put his heart into his stomach: "Brother Chao, if you personally direct it, it must be foolproof!"
Yun Chao shook his head: "Don't expect me, I just went over to take a look. You are fully responsible for how to fight. You will be the one to direct this battle!"
"I……"
Luo Zhiyuan was really unsure.
A few months ago, I was just a young farmer, so why did I command 500 people to fight? Isn't this a joke?
Unfortunately, Yun Chao didn't mean to joke at all.
Luo Zhiyuan tried to evade a few more words, but was scolded severely. Finally, he was kicked in the butt by Yun Chao and kicked directly back to Wangjiaji.
…
Three days later.
Yun Chao arrived as promised and took his bodyguard to Wangjiaji.
Luo Zhiyuan is ready.
Five hundred soldiers, five hundred local warriors, plus the hundred personal soldiers Yun Chao just brought, the total number reached 1,100 people!
More than a thousand people attacking a small iron mine are definitely overqualified.
However, Yun Chao didn't care, what he wanted was to train his troops.
Luo Zhiyuan waited for a long time and saw that Yun Chao had no intention of personally taking command. In desperation, he announced his departure.
The village warriors didn't know what they were going to do. The soldiers only received notice last night that they were going to fight.
The soldiers didn't know who they were fighting with or how many enemies they had.
What Luo Zhiyuan wants is this kind of tense atmosphere, just like the big and small exams before the college entrance examination. When people are tired of the exam, when it is the real big exam's turn, everyone will no longer be nervous.
Starting from Wangjiaji, it is almost thirty or forty miles to Chiyanshan Iron Mine.
As large troops marched, various situations emerged one after another.
Especially the new recruits, knowing that they are going to fight, each one is more nervous than the other.
The more nervous you are, the easier it is for things to go wrong.
Either the shoe fell off, or the weapon fell off.
Some people are even so nervous that they can't even walk well, stumbling with their left foot and falling over the right foot!
This kind of thing seems ridiculous.
It's actually not funny at all.
Sitting at home and relying on imagination, you never know how nervous the person who is about to go to the battlefield will be.
Some people can be so nervous that they faint even after taking a test, let alone a battlefield where death can occur at any time.
In the minds of ordinary people, war has long been demonized.
In the past, many people who followed soldiers to the battlefield did not come back.
In the eyes of the people, war is more terrifying than any wild beast, bar none!
Ancient times are not future generations. There were no movies and TV shows, and almost everyone had no idea what a real battlefield looked like.
Fear comes from the unknown.
The less you know about something, the easier it is to be demonized.
Therefore, Yunchao did not blame the recruits who made mistakes.
According to the military regulations of some ancient strong armies, when the weapon falls, it will be beaten with a military stick or even beheaded!
