"Find an open space and build walls of one, two, and three feet height at both ends. One side is vertical and the other is ladder-like for easy climbing. This is the blueprint."
These are three pairs of right-angled triangles that echo each other. The tops of both sides are connected with ropes. What is it used for? Zhou Yuji took the drawing and thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Not only this page, Yaoji gave the general several pages, including horizontal bars, parallel bars, balance beams, wooden walls, mesh walls and the like, all used to train soldiers.
Originally, a certain prince wanted to build such a training facility in the Yongwei Camp, but first we would see how effective the training was for the East Palace Guards.
If there are flaws, correct them in time. The Yongwei camp can just start and improve them directly. Otherwise, if a loophole is discovered, both sides will have to upgrade at the same time.
Just training the queue would be too boring, and if it takes a long time, it will be difficult for both the instructors and the recruits to concentrate, even if there are rewards and punishments.
After the initial results of the queue training are achieved, it is necessary to immediately enter the next stage of practice. The fixed facilities must be built in advance and cannot be used to hold chicken thighs temporarily.
"I don't know why it is used?"
Seeing the confused faces of the generals, Yaoji asked deliberately to put everyone at risk.
Including Zhou Yuji, no one could guess what the prince wanted to do when he saw the high wall with a slope.
Do the Donggong Guards still need to train for mountain climbing?
Will they go into the mountains to suppress bandits in the future?
It’s better to just go out and climb a real mountain with this training!
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being so stupid!"
Zhou Yuji wanted to know the specific purpose of this facility. Since the prince ordered its construction, it must have its own unique features.
"It's very simple. Let the soldiers climb to the top of one side, and then grab the rope with their hands and cross it to the other end. What you are training is courage! Start training with one foot high, then use two feet high, and finally use three feet high. , and gradually improve. Select those who are courageous and calm-minded among the soldiers, and I will reuse them."
One foot high is three meters above the ground, which is nothing to many people, but two feet is different. Many people will feel dizzy when they look at it, but there are very few people who can play three feet high.
A certain prince set up such a checkpoint to select potential soldiers for the Ming Dynasty Air Force, which will soon be established. This is just the first step. Whether they can pass the test will still require them to pass literacy, calculation, semaphore, observation and other tests.
You can enjoy a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to the salary of a platoon leader. If you add subsidies, you can reach the level of deputy company commander, which is definitely a high-paying unit in the Ming army.
Because the number of people is small, the amortized cost will rise. If you include the complete set of software and hardware, the cost of training an air force pilot is no less than two hundred taels of silver, which is more expensive than the most elite cavalry.
"You are considered to be someone I can trust. I might as well reveal a top-secret news to you. I intend to form an air force that can fly into the sky and cooperate with the ground troops to cover the sky and crush the stubborn enemy. Don’t be afraid of Donglu’s cavalry!”
It's time to release a cow and let the NPC generals have a little surprise first.
People in this era still only have fantasies about flying.
Anyone who can ascend to heaven belongs to the category of gods.
"Your Highness, can a mortal really go to heaven?"
Although Zu Kuan is a rough man, he is also curious and very strong.
"Have you ever seen the Kongming Lantern? The principle of the airship designed by me is similar to the Kongming Lantern, but it needs to be enlarged ten thousand times in size to carry people to the sky!"
Now that the armed warlock has been told about the airship, sooner or later this thing will become known both inside and outside. However, as long as the confidentiality is kept secret, it will take several years to get the manufacturing principles of the airship.
The airship is just a hot air balloon, which seems simple. Even if you know that this thing is the PLUS version of the Kongming Lantern, it is not easy to make a qualified finished product. Maybe it will be as crispy as in a certain movie about Taotie.
Yaoji does not have high requirements for the parameters of the first-generation "Wanli Kirov" airship. The cost of the mass-produced version must be controlled below 5,000 taels, and the maximum ceiling must reach 1,000 meters. Not counting the hanging basket, the maximum load capacity reaches 400 kilograms.
Considering the load issue, the weight of the first-generation air force pilots must not exceed 120 kilograms. It is best to be as light as possible. The lighter the person, the more weapons and equipment can be loaded. Two pilots will occupy more than half of the load capacity.
"Oh~!"
Zu Kuan had seen the Kongming Lantern before, but not only him, but everyone present and even the entire Ming Dynasty had never seen the extremely large Kongming Lantern that was magnified ten thousand times.
After receiving a positive reply from the prince, a rather daring idea came into Zu Kuan's big head. One day, he would like to go to heaven and have a look!
"With this expression on your face, do you think you want to go to heaven?"
It's better not to mention that once they heard that mortals can go to heaven, the eyes of many generals were extremely hot.
"When it matures, it can be made into a sightseeing airship. When it reaches a height of more than 100 meters, you can have a panoramic view of the capital city!"
It was not easy to dampen the enthusiasm of the generals at this time, so Yaoji took advantage of the situation and introduced a paid version of the product.
Of course, it can only be limited to generals who are related to the generals. Otherwise, if the internal structure is seen by outsiders, they will be able to copy the cat and imitate the tiger.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for your support!"
When the prince agreed, everything would be fine. Zu Kuan, Ni Chong, Chen Guowei and even Zhou Yuji were very happy and excited. Some of them began to gear up. This is something that God dared not even dream of. Since the prince said it was okay, the matter would be settled. It will definitely work.
"Haha, when the airship rises to an altitude of a thousand meters and soars in the sky together with the birds, I am afraid that some of them will wet their pants! That's why I drew such facilities to train courage, especially for Overcome the 'fear of heights' that mortals are born with!"
Being able to kill thieves and perform meritorious service on the ground does not mean that some people are not afraid of heights.
Especially when you take off for the first time, the sensory and visual stimulation is beyond imagination. It is normal to be frightened.
Ground training can be divided into three stages. The first stage is to hang by hand over a right-angled triangle wall stack, followed by climbing a vertical wall, and finally bungee jumping, which is to find a protruding 100-meter-high cliff. Lift people from above.
If someone is born bold and is born to be a pilot, then he only needs to pass the literacy test to get an internship. The Air Force is a high-tech branch and does not accept illiterates. Even the ground staff need to be literate.
"This is the top secret of our Ming Dynasty. If you reveal anything to others, it will be a leak of secrets and treason, even if you make a mistake while drunk. If you make a mistake, you will be locked up for six months and cannot be opened in the middle!"
As long as you have this handle, you can use it to blackmail your subordinates if they disobey, and it is guaranteed to succeed time and time again.
And the longer they hold it in, the more obedient they become, and they will eventually turn into a group of mindless lackeys who blindly obey themselves.
"I will never dare to reveal the secret even if I die!"
Zu Kuan was almost scared to death. How could he be suffocated to death if he was chained for so long?
Even if there are so many beauties around, you can't play with them if you touch them, you will really become a living eunuch.
"It's good to know! Otherwise, not only will I not open the lock for you, but I will also make you take medicine. By then, your body will be on fire, but you will not be able to release it, and you will be tempted to bang your head against the wall!"
Wearing a lock is not the most damaging method. You have to wear a lock and take medicine, which really makes life worse than death for the idiots.
As time goes by, they will agree to any request made by a certain prince in order to unlock the door and play with women.
These words made all the generals shudder. The prince's move was too insidious. Please be careful what you say in the future.
Once the secret is leaked, he will be severely punished by the prince, and he will become a person who even the eunuchs will laugh at.
Yaoji didn't come here to inspect the airship. Therefore, any problems in the Jingying camp must be solved together. If he doesn't come here often to check, it would be too troublesome.
"Build several large water towers there to store water and connect pipes for soldiers to take a bath after training. It must be ensured that everyone can take a bath after training every day and wear dry clothes. In the early stage, cold water can be used, and in the later stage, the coal will be transported Once the weather gets cooler, you can boil hot water and take a hot bath."
There is a high hill in the camp. The advantage of the terrain can create top-down potential energy, and the water can flow down into various pipes and canals. This solves the problem of bathing for the guardsmen.
Although the East Palace Guard is a force organized according to field standards, it will be stationed near the capital most of the time and will not go out to meet the enemy. It is a semi-defensive trump card.
Therefore, it is very important to build a good camp. Whether it is training facilities, food supply, drinking water, bathing or even using the toilet, they must comply with the scientific, reasonable, standardized and hygienic requirements advocated by a certain prince.
"Everyone in the guard, from generals to soldiers, must drink boiled water. Without leaving the camp, anyone who drinks boiled water without permission will be detained! Once vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc. occur, , the officers of each company and platoon must report it as soon as possible. If there are signs of an epidemic, we must pay attention to it. I don’t want to see large-scale non-combat attrition!”
Well, if the troops lose their combat effectiveness before the war begins, then there will be no war.
The ace army that was built with millions of taels of silver must not turn into a group of walking zombies just because of carelessness in daily diet.
"Then there is the issue of toilets. Multiple public toilets must be built in the camp, one for each row. Soldiers are not allowed to defecate anywhere. Those who violate the order will still be detained! A large amount of lime must be purchased as a means of epidemic prevention and disinfection. In this regard, I will send dung dealers here. They have been doing this for many years and are very experienced. You can just order your soldiers to follow their example."
The city has begun to implement a new epidemic prevention decree. Due to the lack of sewers to drain sewage, major road sections must be regularly spread with lime, and all dirt must be cleaned up in time.
The first batch of public toilets will be completed soon. I hope Shitai will not invite a certain prince to cut the ribbon. The scene will really make people laugh or cry.
The requirements for the military are neither high nor low. If there is no epidemic in the city, but an outbreak occurs in the military camp, it will be very embarrassing. Therefore, in order to nip it in the bud, the lurking epidemic at the moment is the biggest enemy of the East Palace Guards.
After walking around, a certain prince was a little tired, and planned to go into the barracks to rest, but found that the animals had work to do again. The building in front of him was comparable to a mud house with air leakage. Living here meant waiting to be protected from the wind. Just to cover the rain.
It's not bad for the cannon fodder troops, but as the son's troops, the East Palace Guards certainly won't enjoy such a "luxury house". A certain prince can still afford to spend this money to build a batch of masonry houses for his 30,000 troops.
The Brave Guard Camp can also be built together. Even expensive weapons will be purchased in large quantities, so there will be no shortage of barracks.
A certain prince believed that human hearts are made of flesh, and except for a handful of white-eyed wolves who would never be well-fed, most of the soldiers would repay their kindness.
"Soldiers train in the morning and build houses in the afternoon. Before the heavy rain season comes, all barracks must be built and fire pits built inside to withstand the severe cold in winter."
There is a saying: Southerners like beds, Northerners like Kang!
The heated kang is a heating facility brought from the Northeast.
With this thing, even if it's minus 30 degrees outside, it will be very warm indoors.
The ancients had "tatami" for sleeping. This is the most typical floor bed, which is exactly the same as the Japanese tatami.
The kang is the PLUS version of the couch. In addition to being taller and thicker, a fire can be made inside to keep the smoke away, which can be used to keep warm.
Especially in terms of roasting feet and buttocks, the effect of the fire kang is the most obvious. After roasting, the whole body will feel warm.
For soldiers who have been training for a day in winter, the greatest enjoyment is to lie down on the fire kang and sleep after eating and drinking.
It is difficult to let 30,000 people burn firewood. Once the raw coal from Kailuan arrives by ship, the problem will be solved.
"The general will lead all the soldiers to thank His Highness for his kindness!"
When Zhou Yuji served in the Yongwei camp, he had never seen the emperor treat them so well.
The prince came to the East Palace Guard camp, not only to inspect the training situation, but also to solve a large number of practical problems for them.
All the generals could see that the prince was very concerned about this army, so they did not dare to act procrastinating, and they were also afraid that they would not be able to open the lock on time and enjoy life.
Later, a certain prince came to the kitchen to see for himself whether there was any personal gain.
Being a soldier is a strenuous job. If you can't eat meat and your body can't take in protein, you will naturally have no strength.
Yaoji ordered that if the soldier made three mistakes during training, he would be exempted from meat for one day.
In other words, it can give you two chances to make a mistake, but not again and again.
If you make no mistakes throughout the day, you can eat one tael of pork; if you make two mistakes within two times, you can eat half a tael of pork.
Half a pound of meat is just one big piece or two small pieces, but no matter how small it is, it is still meat.
If someone doesn't want to eat, he can give it to someone else. I don't think any of the animals will do such a stupid thing.
When it reaches full strength, there will be about 20,000 combat troops out of 30,000, and each person will have half a tael per day, which totals one thousand catties.
The cook has to kill three or four pigs every day. If you include the general's food, you have to add one more, and the chickens, ducks and fish have to be counted separately.
"The daily supply of pork must be cooked, and half a pound of meat must not be cut corners. If I know that someone among you dares to cheat, the executioner will treat that person as a pig, and the cook will be warned, and the scene will be fascinating. !”
The cook is responsible for cooking, and of course he can try the food. This is a common practice and is understandable. But if he eats too much, a certain prince has his own way to make this big foodie vomit out everything he has earned and profit from.
If the top beam of this ace force is out of alignment and the bottom beam is crooked at the beginning of its establishment, it will be rotten from the root, and then no matter how much correction is made in the future, it will be of little use.
A certain prince came over for inspection despite his busy schedule, just to warn everyone, whether they are generals or soldiers, if anyone has a wrong idea, then take the initiative to help them repair it and just slip away!
