In response to these two points, Lin Jue made active arrangements and responses. Lin Jue mobilized capable personnel to form a secret organization called Xuanyi Division. More than a hundred absolutely trustworthy personnel became the guards of Xuanyi Division. These
The people uniformly wore black cloth dyed by the villagers themselves, and were equipped with war horses, long knives and crossbows. The scope of responsibilities set by Lin Jue for them was to detect signs of all affairs in the village, compile and report them, and be directly responsible to himself. Ma Bin was in the Imperial City Department
He was very familiar with this kind of thing and was very skilled in his methods, so Lin Jue asked Ma Bin to serve as the first commander of the Xuanyi Division, giving him full responsibility for this matter.
To put it bluntly, this is the secret service established by Lin Jue. It collects all kinds of intelligence, grasps the movements of various people, investigates and corrects mistakes, and nip problems in the bud. Although doing this in Luoyan Valley is a bit excessive, Lin Jue believes that
It is very necessary. Sometimes we rely on means rather than taking things for granted, and we rely on binding force rather than consciousness. Don’t look at it now that the copycats seem to be united and work together, but when going against the imperial court, they have to be more cautious.
There are many good and bad people among them. Although on the surface they are all people who work together, there is no guarantee that there will not be people with two minds among them. Sometimes, what determines whether a person has a firm belief is the size of the temptation. Ten taels of silver may not let you
People betray, but what about a hundred taels of silver? What about a thousand and twenty thousand taels? Coupled with various temptations such as beautiful women and high-ranking officials, it is difficult to say.
Under the current background of declaring war with the imperial court, everything should actually be done in accordance with the strictest and most cautious principles. In a state of emergency, extraordinary measures must be taken to prevent anyone from causing trouble. Of course, this mystery
Yi Si's current primary task is to examine the identities of these defectors and find out their purpose of coming here.
Of course, doing this will hurt the hearts of those heroes who really came here with great enthusiasm. Some people think it is an insult. When they were asked about their resumes, many people walked away, cursing and saying something.
Luoyan Valley is fishing for fame and reputation, but the intention is not sincere.'; What can I say? 'I came here to seek refuge with sincerity. I thought you would warmly welcome you and conspire for great things, but I didn't expect you to be a narrow-minded person who can't achieve anything. I don't think so.
Served.'
Lin Jue was unmoved after hearing the report. If these people can't even bear such a little grievance, how can they live in peace in the future? This may shut out many people who really want to participate in major events, but Lin Jue does not feel it is a pity.
Lin Jue believes that maintaining the purity and discipline of the Luoyan Army is more useful than having tens of thousands of troops. Lin Jue never believes that the number of people is strength. This has been proven by himself many times and does not need to be explained.
.
Not only were these people reviewed, but even after passing the review, Lin Jue did not directly incorporate them into the Luoyan Army. Thousands of people who defected were sent to various branches to participate in training and production. The Luoyan Army's harsh training
The method will eliminate a group of people, and the hard work and loneliness will eliminate another group of people. After being eliminated step by step, the number of people who are truly qualified to join the Luoyan Army is actually less than 30%. But 30% are the people Lin Jue wants.
Although this kind of screening and review cannot guarantee that 100% of the people who stay will be loyal people who want to join the cottage to conspire for big things, it can at least eliminate 99% of the speculators and craftsmen, as well as some who can't stand the loneliness.
Lin Jue did not deny that there were those who were able to survive until the end and successfully lurk in the Luoyan Valley Dazhai, but since they could survive so many tests
, staying here is also the reward they deserve. What’s more, the Xuanyi Division was established to keep track of everyone’s whereabouts and movements. As long as they make any changes, they will be exposed again.
Although some people also raised questions, Lin Jue held a meeting specifically on this matter. After explaining it, everyone was relieved.
In addition, another thing Lin Jue began to actively promote was the rapid establishment of a military workshop system. This matter was more important than recruiting troops.
After tasting the sweetness of firearms, everyone around Lin Jue no longer had any doubts about the importance of firearms. Lin Jue took a day to count the large amount of supplies he had brought to the mountain. Lin Jue had hoarded a lot of supplies in the capital over the past few years.
A large amount of supplies, not much gold and silver brought up the mountain, but high-quality iron ingots, fine gunpowder, various formulas, and various blueprints and equipment accounted for the vast majority. After the things were carried up the mountain, they were stored in the secret room of Juyi Hall.
.
When Lin Jue led everyone to open the large wooden boxes in the secret room one by one, everyone was shocked. No wonder these large wooden boxes were so heavy. It took a lot of manpower and mules to carry them up the mountain.
The soldiers were all guessing what treasures were inside. When they opened it, the truth was revealed to the world. There were sulfur, saltpeter, iron ingots, iron beads, rolls of drawings, hanging various strange shapes, drawings marked with data and sizes. There were also various drawings.
Various strange-shaped fine iron parts.
"I also brought hundreds of boxes of gold and silver treasures when I was a military advisor. It turned out to be these things." Liang Qi smacked her lips.
"Gold and silver treasures are not as valuable as the things here. This is my hard work for several years. Most of the money my Lin family earned has been invested in it." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Liang Qi nodded and said: "Is it true that the firearms on Sun Dayong's waist are all made of these things? Military advisors cannot favor one thing over another. I also want a firearm to show off."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "That's natural. When I set up a firearms camp, I want to build an elite army equipped with firearms. Naturally, you also need to be equipped with these things. Otherwise, why would I bother to carry these things up the mountain?
"
Gao Muqing smiled and said: "Actually, these things can also be bought. You have warned us before that we have saved thousands of kilograms of iron in the village, which were all exchanged for grain outside the mountain. We can also save things like sulfur, saltpeter and so on.
few."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I know, but these things I buy are different from the ones you buy. Look at this iron ingot, is it the same as your rusty iron ingots? It is dark and translucent, without any rust. This is fine.
Iron is the finished product after being forged hundreds of times. The composition is different from the pig iron ingots you collect. There are also other things added to it. Pig iron cannot be used to make firearms. It has to be smelted and forged, and some other ingredients are added to it.
, ordinary iron cannot withstand the explosive power of firearms, and will explode as soon as it is fired. If others do not hit it, you will die first."
How could everyone understand this, but they understood that there must be knowledge here. Although they didn’t know how Lin Jue knew the knowledge here, he just had to listen and follow it.
"If you need any help, just say it." Gao Muqing said.
"I need all the blacksmiths, both from the army and from the common people. I want to build a weapons workshop on the forest flatland on the back slope of the Western Mountain. Not only firearms, but also arrows, swords, and armor. The village is not only
Alive
You must be self-sufficient in terms of living supplies, and you also need to be able to replenish combat supplies. The iron ingots you collected can be used to make swords, arrows and armor. These things must be done immediately. There is no delay. With the Luoyan Army soldiers and horses
There are more and more, and these must keep up. The Luoyan Army cannot wear civilian clothes and hold iron forks to fight, as that will have a great impact on combat effectiveness."
"Okay, Chuncao and I will take care of this immediately." Gao Muqing nodded.
Although Lin Jue attached great importance to this matter and immediately took action, the matter fell into a deadlock at the beginning. There were more than a hundred blacksmiths in the village, but these people could not reach Lin Jue's level at all.
There was no problem in making the weapons. It took seven or eight days to build an earthen blast furnace and a large number of blacksmith workshops. Swords made of pig iron were quickly produced. However, the twenty or so blacksmiths selected by Lin Jue were in trouble.
Lin Jue knew nothing about casting the firearm parts he needed. Instead, Lin Jue had to spend time teaching them how to read the blueprints and teach them how to make these precious fine iron into those strange-shaped parts.
In fact, we can’t blame the blacksmiths. Who would take the time to create these weird-shaped small parts, and the size requirements are extremely high. Lin Jue even asked them not to have even a hair difference. To them, this is simply
A kind of torture. In the absence of machine tools of later generations, it was all done by hand, so the difficulty can be imagined.
Looking at the blank eyes of everyone, Lin Jue was also helpless. These blacksmiths were different from the skilled craftsmen in the capital and the royal palace before, and their skills needed to be investigated more. Lin Jue remembered that the old owner of Yum Sheng Blacksmith Workshop in the capital proposed to him
He only frowned when making these gadgets, and he agreed the next day. Later, Lin Jue found out that he had cleverly used an etching method to make those parts meet the required standards. But how exactly?
He did it, but he refused to disclose it to his death. That was what he relied on to make a living, so how could he tell others so easily.
Lin Jue guessed that it might be parts that were etched and washed with acid and washed according to the pattern, but this was just a guess. Even if Lin Jue knew the principle, he would not be able to do it. Lin Jue took it for granted that it could be made by forging and grinding.
Parts, but he soon discovered that this was taken for granted. It was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the products produced were neither fish nor fowl. It was impossible to use, and it was a waste of fine iron.
Lin Jue knew not to act too hastily. If he did not have skilled craftsmen and the cooperation of a large workshop to develop this type of firearm, it would be a fantasy. The solution should be thought of slowly. But Lin Jue refused to give up his firearm.
The dream of the camp. Since the tortoise box is too delicate to make, then I decided to make something else instead.
Lin Jue spent two days and re-drawed several drawings. Ten days later, two samples were released. One was a straight-through cannon barrel. It took hundreds of kilograms of fine iron to cast this extremely ugly thing.
It's hard to compliment, but Lin Jue regards it as a treasure. This is hundreds of kilograms of fine iron. This much expensive fine iron can be used to make more than a dozen bastard boxes. In Ma Bin, Shen Tan, Sun Dayong, Liang Qi and others
Under the witness of others, one afternoon, a thunderbolt rang out in the dense forest of the Western Mountains. The ugly cannon made a roar that shocked the valley. The solid cannonball swept across a large forest, breaking and collapsing dozens of big trees along the way.
, and then a piece of rubble exploded on a cliff rock, diving into the rocky soil slope.
