Zhao Muyun then determined with Lu Zhizi the future development direction of the blacksmith workshop.
The blacksmith workshop's primary goal is weapon innovation. Zhao Muyun took out two drawings: the horizontal sword and the Mo Dao.
Zhao Muyun also had some detailed introductions about these weapons in his previous life when he was in the special forces.
In addition to lectures on hot weapons, guns, and cannons, the army also has special lecturers to teach cold weapons.
As a special forces soldier, in special operations missions, you need to be familiar with firearms and other weapons, and you must also be familiar with the cold weapons of the time.
When the lecturer mentioned the Gurkha dagger and the Damascus steel it was made of, he proudly said that an empire in Daxia had already possessed the same level of technology more than a thousand years ago.
The weapons created can be regarded as the pinnacle of the cold weapon era.
The imperial army, equipped with short weapons such as horizontal swords, long weapons such as Mo Dao, Ming Guang armor, and horse lances, was invincible, making the foreign tribes around Daxia terrified and forced to kneel down and beg for mercy and submit.
An island nation east of Daxia secretly learned the craft of making horizontal swords, made some minor improvements, and claimed it as their own, shamelessly claiming that it was their country's traditional craft.
This led to some weak-kneed people in Daxia who were ignorant of the truth to worship him.
You must know that when it comes to forging and playing with knives, Daxia is the ancestor of the island nation.
Now his Yinzhou Zhechoufu has been established, and he has nearly a thousand soldiers.
Although the main task now is to build cities and cultivate land to store grain, the armed forces are the foundation for protecting Yinzhou.
In Yinzhou, a place with jagged edges, one never knows when the Tartars will attack.
Therefore, the equipment and training of soldiers cannot be neglected in order to build a city.
Soldiers must be separated from labor production as soon as possible and dedicated to military training.
The mature training model of Yanqingdun Beacon Tower can be put to use immediately.
As long as Han Zhong and the other nine people meticulously refer to Zhao Muyun's training manual, each of them can become an instructor and train other soldiers.
"Master Zhao, the two weapons you drew are really eye-opening for this old man."
"I've crafted countless weapons in my life, but this is the first time I've seen a design like this."
"This horizontal sword is shaped like a sword, but it only has one blade. This Mo Dao has three blades on both sides. How strange!"
Lu Zhizi looked at the blueprint back and forth, full of doubts.
However, he immediately accepted the new task. After all, the last time Zhao Muyun brought the blueprint of the triangular thorn, Lu Zhizi was confused at first, but he soon grasped its essence and created it carefully.
He didn't know if he could successfully create the two new weapons this time, but he would definitely try his best.
When a weapon that has never been seen before comes into being in his hands, all the hard work is worth it.
What's more, they are two different things!
Zhao Muyun explained the key points to Lu Zhizi.
In fact, these are just the knowledge points he got from the lecturer and his own understanding.
How to build it specifically depends on Lu Zhizi's attainments.
"Master Zhao, I will definitely try my best to build it and live up to your trust."
"But this coal is definitely not enough. Please find a solution as soon as possible." Lu Zhizi put forward his needs.
He witnessed this black stuff burning and found it was much better than charcoal. He would have to use it for quenching and calcining in the future.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange this right away. Master Lu, just focus on forging weapons. I'll prioritize meeting any other needs you have."
After chatting with Lu Zhizi and others for a few more words, Zhao Muyun took Wang Tiezhu and left.
This blacksmith workshop will be the key to whether Zhao Muyun can strengthen his army and upgrade his equipment.
......
Cities, salt, coal, weapons, food, soldiers, training, population...
Which one is not important and urgent? When Zhao Muyun thought of these things, he suddenly felt a headache.
I don’t know if the other captains of the Zhechoufu are as busy as Zhao Muyun.
In the past few days, Zhao Muyun has carefully prioritized each case and dealt with them one by one.
Huan Naxue tried to get intimate with him several times in private, but he waved his hand to refuse.
Fortunately, Han Zhong and Lin Feng both have strong comprehensive abilities and helped Zhao Muyun share a lot of tasks.
The two hundred refugees brought by Wang Tiezhu joined the construction team, and he personally led a team of scouts to Yanzhou to mine coal.
After Tang Yanhai placed more than ten scouts on the Xichuan grassland, the rest of the scouts went to Yanzhou to recruit refugees.
There were two thousand Wuhuan people, one thousand of whom built workshops by the river to purify fine salt, and one thousand joined the construction team.
With the one thousand Wuhuan people and the two hundred refugees who had previously joined in building the city, the six hundred soldiers could all be freed from their work and engage in military training.
Han Zhong served as the head coach, and Shi Yong, Wu Shangzhi and Tian Qing served as instructors.
Ma Bao, Lao Li and Lao Zhang also came to assist in the training.
Lin Feng and his six hundred soldiers, along with Huan Naxue and his three hundred Wuhuan cavalry, all received unified training.
At the same time, Zhao Muyun asked Zhao Wen, Kuishu, Sishu, and Shi Gang to be responsible for the construction of the city projects, temporarily take over the positions of Yinzhou prefect, prefectural governor and other government officials, and manage civil affairs.
The imperial court no longer has the ability to control a place like Yinzhou, so Zhao Muyun is going to develop and stabilize it. Naturally, he has to use his own people in civil affairs.
Pei Lun should fully support him.
Of course, the confidant sent by Pei Lun to participate in the supervision of salt production also arrived, bringing with him the 10,000 shi of grain and grass promised by Pei Lun and the imperial edict of appointment.
Yinzhou was placed under the jurisdiction of Hedong Dao, and Zhao Muyun was officially certified as a prefectural commander, and also became the youngest commander in the history of the Dayin Dynasty!
This man was Pei Lun's family general, named Pei Liao.
Pei Liao naturally also had the suspicion of supervising Zhao Muyun's actions in Yinzhou.
In all the prefectures under the Hedong Road, the captains and commanders were just sitting there doing nothing but eating and drinking. They treated the troops under their command as their own private property, withholding their pay and exploiting them at will.
In an important prefecture like Shuozhou Prefecture, the current commander Sun Jizong relied on the fact that he was Pei Lun's confidant to act even more recklessly.
But when he saw Zhao Muyun devoting all his energy to building Yinzhou City to defend against the Tartars, he couldn't help but be deeply shocked.
When the salt workshop purified the white fine salt, it became clear why Pei Lun valued Zhao Muyun so much, who was originally on Fan Nan's side.
In addition to being brave enough to go deep behind enemy lines and launch surprise attacks on the Zhelan Royal Court, he is also a good money-maker.
This fine salt can make Pei Lun's life much better financially.
However, Pei Liao also brought some not-so-good news. Because Zhao Muyun was too young and worried about his lack of experience, the court had to send a brave and courageous captain from the capital to assist Zhao Muyun in managing Yinzhou.
Regarding this matter, Zhao Muyun smiled and said nothing!
Yinzhou is his Yinzhou, and no one can get involved.
He wanted to see what kind of person the new Guoyi Duwei was.
