With Jia Cong's strength breakthrough, the three months of special training for this group of recruits also ended.
Jia Cong discussed with Zhang Dakui, Tiezhu, and Wangcai, and divided these team members into two groups based on their daily performance.
A group of 40 people including 20 big men brought by Jia Cong, basically all of whom are older, are temporarily serving as personal guards and are trained according to standard soldiers. Zhang Dakui is responsible for training these people.
In addition to the necessary weight-bearing running every morning, the standing military posture was reduced to half an hour every morning, and battle formation coordination, spear skills, equestrian skills, archery, etc. were added.
The remaining forty-odd people, all under the age of fifteen, will be trained as special forces members. When they reach adulthood, they will all be kings of soldiers. These people will be trained by Jia Cong himself, and Tiezhu will be responsible for assisting in the training.
These people have many training programs. In addition to running with weights every morning, they also have to stand in a military posture for half an hour. They also add push-ups, horizontal bar pulls, squats, frog jumps, crawling and other physical training.
Also added are swimming, rock climbing, crossing quagmire, climbing over obstacles, tracking, reconnaissance, lurking, escaping, capturing prisoners, interrogating prisoners, disguise, assassination, archery, equestrianism, etc. You must learn everything you need.
Jia Cong plans to use two years to shape this special team.
For the time being, I will conduct various trainings in the villa and the mountains to the west. When I am no longer satisfied, I will take him out for training.
After the two teams separated, they each started training. Zhang Dakui was even more confident and motivated, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work of training soldiers.
Jia Cong's special team also started training. Wangcai became the housekeeper and was responsible for all the logistics work. The logistics work of nearly a hundred people was not easy, and they had to train with them in their free time.
Zhang Dakui led forty personal guards and still trained various skills in the square.
The special forces team members led by Jia Cong moved the training venue to the foot of the mountain, and even the entire mountain, and began a new round of training in full swing.
After a month, the canal reconstruction project for 6,000 acres of fertile farmland has been completed, and the waterwheel has been built.
Jia Cong took the time to take someone to inspect it, and it basically met the design requirements.
The next step is to install the positioning water truck, adjust the water diversion system, and then test run.
Jia Cong took a long time and asked Tiezhu to lead the special team to train. He took six craftsmen and asked Zhuangtou to find a group of young men to help him fight.
Four relatively thick tree trunks were cut from the mountain and driven into the river bottom. They were connected to each other with four iron bars as fixed supports for the waterwheel.
Everyone lifted the waterwheel to the support, adjusted the position, and fixed the central axis of the waterwheel firmly. The waterwheel was installed and they tried to rotate it. It was very smooth.
Then install the water diversion device, connect it from the water wheel to the canal, and adjust it properly.
After checking and finding no problems, Jia Cong waved his hand, and two young men came up and stepped on the treadwheel, and the waterwheel started to rotate slowly.
After one rotation, small buckets are used to lift the river water upward, flow into the water diversion device, then flow into the canal through the water diversion device, and then flow into the farmland through the water canal to irrigate the wheat seedlings in the farmland.
Seeing the river water left by the waterwheel rushing and flowing in the canal, everyone had a happy smile on their faces. From then on, this field no longer lacked water.
Several craftsmen looked at the waterwheel they made with their own hands and smiled. They succeeded.
Zhuangtou ran over and said with an attentive look: "Third Master, you are really amazing. With this water tanker, there will never be a shortage of water in the future. Our land will be the best farmland in the neighborhood."
Jia Cong nodded. What this guy said was absolutely correct. When he asked the blacksmith to drive out the iron plow, plow the land deeply, buy some fertilizer and put it in the field, and then select some seeds with full grains. Next year, he will definitely It will be a good year.
"You have also seen the benefits of this waterwheel. In order to prevent anyone from damaging or stealing it, fifty young men were selected from the village to form a militia guard, and they took turns stationed beside the waterwheel to guard it."
Zhuangtou quickly agreed, and then said: "Third Master, I will select people and form a militia later. In addition, I want to build a few houses here and have the militia stationed here. This will make it safer."
"You have a good idea. Let's do what you want. In addition, while we are not busy now, organize a group of young men to build a barracks at the foot of the mountain and a row of houses with a capacity of 500 people."
"Don't worry, Third Master, I'll gather the people together and start construction tomorrow."
Jia Cong nodded and asked Zhuangtou to go down and make arrangements.
Then I found six more craftsmen and talked with them about using the power of the water wheel to perform operations such as forging, stamping, drilling, sawing, etc.
After several people heard this, their eyes widened in disbelief. Their first reaction was how could this be possible?
Seeing Jia Cong's serious look, which didn't look like he was joking, several people stared at the waterwheel in deep thought.
After a while, several people gathered together and murmured, and Carpenter Wang, who had followed him the longest, spoke.
"Third Master, we thought about it. Drilling can be done by using the rotation of the axis, but the operation is not convenient. It is better to do it manually. It is difficult to do anything else."
It is indeed difficult to let them imagine it out of thin air. It is equivalent to an invention. It seems that we need to give them some hints.
"Of course it's not possible to use the waterwheel directly. You need to add some auxiliary devices, like the water diversion device. Others require the use of clutch force, that is, eccentric force.
You first make a large roulette plate and inlay it on the central axis of the waterwheel. Drill a hole in the off-center position of the roulette wheel, inlay an iron shaft, and put a pull rod on the shaft. There is a slider attached to the bottom of the pull rod. Block, make another slide, let the slider slide in the slide..."
As Jia Cong explained and drew patterns on the ground, a simple stamping machine appeared in front of everyone.
The six people suddenly opened their mouths. This is really possible. This master is too evil. He can even think of these things. He has been a craftsman for so many years. Thinking about it, he really means nothing.
The six people were completely convinced now. They quickly took a pen and paper and wrote down the graphics on the ground, and carefully put them away, as if they had found a treasure.
"Third Master, you are really amazing. If you make this thing, it will be no less than a revolution in the handicraft industry. The most tiring tasks such as swinging a sledgehammer and pulling a saw can be easily completed."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "As long as you use your brains more and work harder, you can do it. These are just ideas. If you want to make them happen, you still need to experiment step by step."
Several people nodded and said in unison: "Third Master, we want to build another waterwheel specifically to test these things. We also ask for Third Master's permission."
With the forging equipment, whether it is making weapons or armor, the effect and quality will be doubled. This is also the purpose of telling them.
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Okay, I agree with you to make another one and conduct experiments. Why don't you also move the workshop here. It will be more convenient. Also, these things will be kept secret for the time being."
"Now that we know Master San, we know what to do."
