Chapter 23 Soldier Training Program
Zhao Yi directed the villagers to slowly assemble the steam engine using various parts.
Although several blacksmiths in the village have become successful forging masters after Zhao Yi's training.
He was already able to understand the parts drawings and skillfully use the forging techniques taught by Zhao Yi to cast and produce the various parts required by Zhao Yi.
But when it comes to assembly, I still have to rely on Zhao Yi to teach me again.
Because they are illiterate and cannot understand the assembly steps.
This is also the reason why Zhao Yi wanted to promote education in the village.
By then, those students can take over. Modern factories cannot do without educated workers.
The blacksmiths have to forge things every day and are exhausted.
Where is the time to learn to read?
Being able to learn forging techniques and manufacture parts by looking at drawings is already their limit.
Finally the steam engine was assembled.
A worker carried a wooden bucket and poured water into the cylinder of the steam engine, then closed the valve.
As the flame under the cylinder heats the cylinder, water vapor is continuously produced.
Finally the piston started moving.
Phew! Phew!
The piston keeps pushing the connecting rod to drive the flywheel to rotate.
It worked!
This means that Shahe Village will enter the industrial age from today.
The productivity of Shahe Village will be raised to a higher level.
You should know that the steam engine is a symbol of the First Industrial Revolution.
It greatly promoted the progress of the Industrial Revolution and changed human production and lifestyle.
It solves the power problem in industrial development.
Now Zhao Yi can use the steam engine to drive other machines, freeing up part of the village's labor force to produce other things.
In the future, Zhao Yi can use steam engines to drive ships and trains to change the world!
A blacksmith nearby connects a simple hammered part to the steam engine wheel.
Then he started to put red-hot metal blocks underneath and hammered them.
Da da da!
Soon the metal block was hammered into the required shape
"Village Chief! Your steam engine is really useful. Now we don't have to spend the effort of forging."
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "This is just a simple application of the steam engine. When the lathe is assembled, you will know the true horror of the steam engine."
Zhao Yi has seen what a real modern steel plant looks like.
Having automated equipment can automatically shape steel into the desired shape.
But now the steam engine in front of us is just a very primitive and backward thing.
But the blacksmiths nearby didn't think so.
A machine that can pound automatically and continuously is simply amazing.
Now they didn't have to hammer the metal block hard, they just had to use pliers to put the metal block into the steam engine.
It's just like magic.
But only Zhao Yi could come up with such a thing.
In the eyes of the blacksmiths, the legendary Lu Ban, the ancestor of craftsmen, was definitely not as good as their village chief.
Because Lu Ban didn't invent the village chief's useful things like the curved plow, water-bowl cart, etc.
Besides, the village chief was only three years old and could make something like a steam engine.
I'm sure I'll come up with something awesome in the future.
"Hearing what you said, Village Chief, we must work overtime to get the lathe parts out as soon as possible, so that we can see if you are bragging or not."
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you. But you should also make sure to rest and don't get too tired."
Zhao Yi handed the newly drawn parts drawing to the blacksmith and left the factory...
Zhao Yi returned to his room, lit a candle and began to write.
He has to formulate various plans for his scumbag father's rebellion.
For example, the soldier training plan I am going to write today.
This is something Zhao Yi, a retired soldier and firefighter, is all too familiar with, as he is fully aware of all aspects of modern soldier training.
He knows everything from training methods, soldier test content, training precautions to training diet and nutritional combinations.
He can write these things without a system.
The next day, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian came to Shahe Village for a meal as usual.
Zhao Yi handed the soldier training plan he wrote last night to his scumbag father.
"Old Zhao and Old Wang, I think we should prepare for the rebellion earlier. The sooner we train our soldiers, the sooner we can succeed."
"Time waits for no one. This is the soldier training plan I came up with. What do you think?"
Wow!
This kid is really serious about rebellion.
What day is it now?
The soldier training plan has been developed.
But as usual, whatever Zhao can produce must be good stuff.
So Ying Zheng Wang Jian took the plan given by Zhao Yi and read it carefully.
Then they found that the soldier training program Zhao Yi gave was too detailed and comprehensive! Too professional.
It even provides methods for recruiting soldiers.
The higher-ups ordered Ying Zheng to recruit men from different businesses in various places on the pretext of setting up caravan guards, and then divide them into groups of twenty for intensive training, and then gather them into an army when the time came to start the uprising.
Ying Zheng thought about it and felt that Zhao Yi's method could really be used to secretly recruit soldiers under the Qin government.
Dispersing the recruitment and training among different firms will not attract the attention of the government at all.
So Ying Zheng planned to go back and order an investigation into the details of the caravan guards in various places to see if there were any rebels who were recruiting soldiers in this way.
Ying Zheng continued to watch, and then his fists clenched.
Because behind the conscription method is a way to build the loyalty of soldiers.
It contains an inventory of all the bad things caused by the Qin Dynasty.
And various words to inspire the soldiers.
How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?
This guy has good writing skills.
It's just that it's used in the wrong place.
It would be much better if it was used on Qin instead of rebellion.
The more Wang Jian looked at the training plan given by Zhao Yi, the more he admired Zhao Yi.
Because he felt that the training program given by Zhao Yi was more comprehensive and advanced than the current soldier program of the Qin Dynasty.
Especially in the area of battlefield medical emergency.
It introduces various battlefield first aid methods in detail.
From small wound bandaging and disinfection to big ones like emergency hemostasis and fracture treatment.
Zhao Yi even specially created a branch of the medical army.
Assign a medic to each team to provide first aid on the battlefield.
But the Qin Dynasty had absolutely nothing of this kind.
Wang Jian felt that the knowledge of battlefield first aid alone was worth a fortune.
If the Qin army can popularize this first aid knowledge, the number of soldiers dying on the battlefield will be greatly reduced.
Because the medical level during the Qin Dynasty was really very backward.
Especially for various external injuries on the battlefield.
People don't even know the types of blood vessels, arteries and veins.
You can imagine the level of hemostasis.
Not to mention on the battlefield.
In fact, most of the soldiers who died on the battlefield did not die from fatal injuries, but from bleeding to death or wound infection due to untimely or improper wound treatment.
If they had Zhao Yi's battlefield first aid methods, many casualties could have been avoided.
Zhao Yi's battlefield first aid methods are all based on modern medicine and have historical results that have been tested countless times on the battlefield.
