Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"It's... a pity, no."

"Brother Wentai, the size of this kind of shell must fit perfectly. Otherwise, it will be a small matter for the shell to jam when firing the gun. Once the shell explodes, the surrounding soldiers, including the surrounding soldiers, may all die."

……

"You have seen the appearance of the artillery when it was fired. Under high temperature and pressure, those iron balls will basically deform to varying degrees, and they are no longer such standard round balls."

"Brother Wentai, if you are short of iron in Changsha, you can collect those used shells and make them into other pig iron tools."

"But if it is used directly and repeatedly, it's better not to be like this, otherwise there will be a big accident..."

……

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yan still informed the other party of some precautions for the artillery.

After all, if Sun Jian was bombed by the munitions purchased by his family... This is already a major event that can rise to the level of a diplomatic dispute.

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, Sun Jian naturally felt a little pity.

……

"Oh, that's fine."

"Since that's the case, then for each artillery, we will purchase an additional ten bases of ammunition for practice and use."

"If the follow-up is not enough, I will ask you to make additional purchases."

……

Shaking his head regretfully, Sun Jian suddenly discovered that there were only 30 cannons, and after adding the basic ammunition, the price immediately soared to 50 yuan per cannon.

This is only ten bases of ammunition, which can support them to fight ten times.

But what about exercises?

What about regular training?

At this time, should they still use it?

……

It can be said that once the ten base ammunition arrives in Changsha, it is a certainty that it will be used up in the future.

And at that time, if there are more additions, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands each time... This amount of money is obviously not as simple as Sun Jian imagined at first.

……

But what can be done about this...

He pursed his upper lip with some regret, and Sun Jian felt a little melancholy in his heart.

Who let him experience the power and function of that thing, and understand how important this kind of unique weapon is to him?

It's just that Zhang Yan didn't continue to delve into this issue any further.

When the last deal with Sun Jian was finalized, everyone could be considered to have ushered in the last moment of the exercise.

After simply addressing all the people in Lujiang and reassuring them, Zhang Yan reassured them that Lujiang would not be violated due to the famine in other places, and then Zhang Yan focused on the things he had promised before.

That is, for the winning army in this exercise, the rewards I will provide...

……

"What will it be? This time we took so much effort to win the first place, what do you think the reward promised by the lord will be?"

……

"It's probably something like money...otherwise what else could it be?"

……

"Tell me, is it some new equipment... It's like the shiny golden armor before. If I can wear this armor to fight, I can fight ten!"

……

"Come on, I've heard that the armor probably weighs more than 200 kilograms. If you... I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to wear it and walk, let alone fight!"

……

Although the officers present had tried their best to maintain the order of the scene, unfortunately, many people were still whispering.

After all, for soldiers of this era, it is really difficult to force them to maintain that high degree of discipline anytime and anywhere.

In most cases, when these people are not fighting or giving lectures, these people whisper something, and the officers in Lujiang can still accept it.

More importantly, not only these soldiers, but even those who have become officers are extremely curious about the rewards that Zhang Yan mentioned at the beginning.

After all, as the "middle-level" of the army, they have a wider news channel than soldiers at the bottom.

"Could it be...that thing?"

The generals of Lujiang No. [-] Army Masi trembled a little.

This is the most genuine excitement, and overwhelming anticipation.

Chapter 3 Special Rewards

"Everyone, in the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years since the Marquis came to Lujiang."

"And the oldest group of people among you have lived with me in Lujiang for two years."

"In the past two years, many things have happened in Lujiang..."

……

Standing on the towering city tower, Zhang Yan looked at the tens of thousands of people neatly below, and did not confer rewards immediately, but started a routine with them as usual.

As for these soldiers, they gradually became quiet in front of him.

You must know that in this era, the attitude of upper-level officials towards soldiers is actually not very important.

Even Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, who is known as his beloved soldier, most of the time just cherishes the lives of his soldiers and is responsible for their diet and training, but he will not chat with them like Zhang Yan to say something.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers did not show any impatience after hearing Zhang Yan's opening, but listened carefully.

……

"Back then, when we first came here... Lujiang wasn't what it is now."

"Perhaps some of you who are from the local area should still remember that the Lujiang River was full of bandits and bandits at that time, and everything was waiting to be done."

"In the past two years, you have wiped out the banditry, destroyed the largest Shanyue forces in Lujiang, eliminated all dangers around, and at the same time safeguarded the safety of our Lujiang people."

"Not only you guys remember these things, but the Marquis remembers them, even the people in Lujiang remember them too!"

……

"It can be said that without you, Lujiang would not have the peaceful and peaceful living environment it is today, and without you, Lujiang would not be as prosperous as it is today!"

"These things are all thanks to you, and everyone in Lujiang is there to see it."

……

Standing at the top of the city gate, Zhang Yan's voice continued, not only maintaining a not-too-high volume, but also ensuring that everyone present could hear clearly.

After hearing his words, there was obviously a commotion below the city gate.

Yes, for most people in Lujiang, this army has merit, or it has a positive meaning.

As Zhang Yan said, they once defended the Lujiang River and rescued a large number of people who were plundered and oppressed from the hands of thieves. Everyone has seen these things.

And in the follow-up expansion and recruitment, there are also many local young people in Lujiang who choose to join the army resolutely because their relatives or friends have received the favor of the army, and want to do something for other people in Lujiang in the army. what.

Zhang Yan's words happened to speak to their hearts.

For those who have made great contributions, these words are naturally very useful to them.

……

It's just a pity that these people are still a minority after all.

……

For this era, all those who are willing to join the army, except for a small number of people who really hold a strong ideal of family and country, most of them are pursuing something more real.

I couldn't afford to eat, so I joined the army to make a living.

I had nowhere to live, and I couldn't afford a house, so I joined the army to find a place to live.

I had nowhere to go, my relatives and friends had passed away, and I didn't have any skills, so I had to find a job in the army.

I have no land, no property, and no wife to accompany me.If I want to be prosperous in my lifetime, I can only join the army, betting that I can make great achievements in the future, so that I can live a better life in the future.

……

A simple but true desire constitutes the reason for these soldiers to join the army-compared with spiritual pursuits, what they need is more material.

And Zhang Yan naturally knew this too.

……

After squinting and looking around at the somewhat silent soldiers under the stage, Zhang Yan already had a hint of a smile in his eyes.

……

"For these soldiers who have dreams to fight for Lujiang, I am grateful for your efforts, and I assure you that all your future battles will be for your own nation and country."

"You will never be caught in an 'injustice' war."

"But what we must admit is that man is not a steel weapon, let alone a tool!"

"Dreams and will raise your upper limit, but material conditions still determine your lower limit."

"Even the steel knives and armor in your hands still need to be maintained from time to time, and they need to be paid to exert their maximum strength."

"And soldiers are the same."

"Like weapons and armor, you need more material things for support, and you should get more material things for support."

"That's why I brought you here today."

……

Hearing this, the relatively more "realistic" soldiers also began to cheer up.

This is not because their will is not noble enough, let alone because they are vulgar.
