Wei Wuhou

Chapter 408 Rapid Development Period 1
(It’s really not enough, friends, the data shows that there are more than 1000 people reading books, but I have less than [-] recommendation tickets per day, and one monthly ticket every few days...Scary!)
On the twelfth of June, Wei Wuji rushed towards the barracks with a group of people.

It's just that this time, there was an extra convoy among the entourage, and several carts carrying these iron tools also headed for Wei Wuji's barracks in a mighty way.

Of course, what Wei Wuji declared to the outside world was that these were used to repair military weapons and other ordnance.

This is actually not uncommon in the Wei army. It is as normal for each ministry to invite some craftsmen to join the army, just like having cooks in the army.

After Wei Wuji rushed back to the barracks, he immediately allocated a place for these craftsmen, not far from the barracks, but it was listed as a forbidden area, no idlers were allowed to wait there.

After these craftsmen rushed to the ground, they immediately began to build the necessities of the blast furnace. There were almost no restrictions here, so they built a few of them.

However, what restricts the speed of casting weapons is the supply of iron ore...

Although there are many iron ore mines in Wei State, they are not Chinese cabbage after all.And because there are not many mined, the price is not as low as imagined.

The solution to this kind of problem is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and reducing expenditure is absolutely impossible, so the only way is to increase revenue...

Therefore, finding an iron mine in Yanshan County became one of Wei Wuji's new tasks.

But there was no clue about this matter, and Wei Wuji couldn't be in a hurry, so he could only try his luck.

Still, there are still weapons in the army, and there is no big war yet, so the demand for high-quality weapons is not that great.

After arranging the iron casting, Wei Wuji's focus shifted to the army training.

After more than ten days of training, Wei Wuji personally observed a test of the courage of the soldiers. When facing the menacing force of the horses, they were finally able to keep their feet steady.

This made Wei Wuji quite satisfied. This was the first step in becoming a professional cavalryman.

In other armies, only those veterans who have experienced battles can truly achieve this step, but how can an army be full of veterans.

Therefore, this kind of direct training of people to this stage, and it is still a batch of organized training... I am afraid that it is unprecedented.

As a veteran of the army, Chen Zhan was actually quite looking forward to the results of this established training method.

After observing the army training, Wei Wuji said to Chen Zhan beside him: "Now, it's time for the next stage of training!"

Chen Zhan nodded, and then said: "Young Master said that the subordinates have already made arrangements for this, and divided the battle into several stages, please check it!"

This time, Chen Zhan no longer called himself a "subject", but a "subordinate", which shows that a huge change has taken place in his heart.

Standing on the high platform of the school grounds, Wei Wuji said to Chen Zhan beside him, "Tell me!"

"First of all, my subordinates will teach them how to control the charge of war horses, so that they can improve their equestrian skills again!"

"Secondly, it is the technique of charging that is really the core... or you have the foresight. Cavalry charging is extremely terrifying, no matter life or death, and the soldiers must have the courage to break through all difficulties!" Chen Zhan couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Wuji smiled, not paying attention to Chen Zhan's compliment.

Then, Chen Zhan continued: "In the end, my subordinates will arrange for each team to compete against each other. Over time... only then can we become a strong army!"

Hearing this, Wei Wuji asked, "Is this the end?"

Chen Zhan thought for a while, and after making sure there was nothing missing, he said, "Young master, this is what this subordinate thinks of!"

Who knows, Wei Wuji shook his head and said: "The road to a strong army, if you only fight in the barracks, then you are just a group of frogs at the bottom of the well!"

Although Wei Wuji's words were instructive, Chen Zhan still didn't understand Wei Wuji's real intention, so he heard him ask: "Young master means..."

Wei Wuji smiled, and then said: "Based on what you said, there is actually a fourth one!"

And the fourth one?Chen Zhan wanted to hear what Wei Wuji had to say, so he asked, "Young Master, please show me!"

Wei Wuji looked at the soldiers below who were still training enthusiastically, and slowly said: "Unless you fight in a real battle, you will be a sham after all!"

That's right, Wei Wuji's positioning for these people is a bunch of idiots, no matter how rigorous the training is.

Chen Zhan couldn't refute this, because it was an ironclad fact, but a strong army was built step by step.

Just like the world-renowned Wei Wuzu, those who were born were not battle madmen. They were selected as Wei Wuzu only after they stood out from big and small battles.

"So, after two months, after the selection of first-rank military officers, we can try them out!" Wei Wuji said slowly.

Chen Zhan's heart fluttered, and he asked, "Master, you mean let them go to the battlefield?"

Wei Wuji nodded, and then said: "These days I will send out scouts to conduct screening on the grasslands outside the Great Wall. Combined with the information already in the army, I can select a suitable enemy!"

Now Chen Zhan had nothing to say, but he asked again: "But son, if there is no military order, the Lingbei Camp will not let us go out!"

Seeing Chen Zhan mentioning this, Wei Wuji couldn't help but smile, and then said: "You guessed it wrong, my son has an edict from the emperor, and he must try his best to satisfy the military affairs of the Lingbei Camp!"

What Wei Wuji was talking about was the secret edict Chen Wanyun had received. Last time he relied on that secret edict to get a lot of good things from Chen Wanyun.

However, if he wanted to leave the customs, Wei Wuji had to go to the Lingbei Camp himself.

"Okay, go and continue to urge them!" Wei Wuji waved his hands, he wanted to stay here alone for a while.

Only then did Chen Zhan leave, leaving Wei Wuji alone on the high platform.

Looking at the four thousand soldiers below and the thousands of horses under them, Wei Wuji was filled with anticipation.

He desperately hoped that this army could leave the border soon and start the battle against the barbarians.

To exterminate the Huns, this seemingly impossible task, now Wei Wuji is full of passion.Because when he does all this, many problems will be solved.

And he also felt that he had hope to complete it, because he thought of Huo Qubing, the famous young Tianjiao in the Han Dynasty in the previous life, who was named the champion.

Didn't that person also beat the Huns who oppressed the Han Dynasty for decades in a short period of time...

And he, Wei Wuji, as a time traveler... will only do better, Wei Wuji encouraged himself like this.

After watching for a while, Wei Wuji turned around and left, and he will always appear in the school grounds in the future.

For nothing else, letting everyone see that the commander is with him will not only help Wei Wuji build up his prestige, but also shape the centripetal force of the army.
