Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 498 Forming an Independent Corps
"Our arsenal in southern Liaoning still has a lot of obsolete goods specially produced for export. Although we no longer use these old-style guns and artillery, we can make a lot of profits by exporting them. The Far East Trading Company can send ships to This batch of firearms was transported to Guangzhou, and then transferred to the Ruan family in the Annan country. Remember, Deng Qianlong is temporarily in charge of this matter. The firearms sold to the Ruan family can’t be less than a penny. If there is less, our fleet of the Kyushu Army will hit the door. Go and ask for principal and interest." Chu Yun said the first arrangement, which is to stabilize the current situation in An Nanguo, and the Zheng family must not be allowed to complete the unification of An Nanguo.

"Secondly, from the three corps stationed in Chengdu, Xiangyang, and Guangzhou, 3000 people were drawn from each to form an independent corps of 9000 people. These 9000 people are only the backbone and core, and local youth from Guangxi, Yunnan and other places need to be recruited. There are 1000 people in total, 3 people in total, Changyi, the commander of the Sixth Corps stationed in Guangzhou, will serve as the commander of the Independent Corps, and the former deputy commander of the Sixth Corps will serve as the temporary commander of the Sixth Corps." Chu Yun made the formation The idea of ​​the Independent Corps.

The intention of this independent corps is obvious.This independent corps also became the vanguard of the Annan Kingdom, Siam and even the Mughal Empire in the future...

The staff members of the military staff hurriedly wrote down Chu Yun's decision on paper.It is not a trivial matter to set up an independent corps of 3 people!
Changyi, the commander of the Sixth Corps, was an old man who grew up with Chu Yun. He was known to be low-key in the Kyushu Army, but he was steady.Although it lacks the adventurous spirit of Huo Qubing in ancient times, it can guarantee that there will be no major mistakes.For the independent corps that will go deep into the enemy's territory for long-term operations in the future, such a commander may be more suitable.

"Military lord, and the officials of the Li family who are temporarily exiled in our territory, how should we deal with them?" A staff officer reminded.

"What do you think should be done?" Chu Yun asked them instead.

"According to the practice of the previous dynasty, they would generally entertain them well, and then issue an imperial decree to condemn Lord Zheng for what he did, asking him to return Gao Ping and the Li family," said a staff officer.

"The practice of the previous dynasty is the practice of the previous dynasty. Now that China is unified, the great troubles in the north have been eliminated, and the national strength has been restored. There is no need to spend a lot of time to let a declining Li family check and balance the Zheng family. They can't do it either." Another one The staff officer put forward the opposite opinion, "From my subordinate's point of view, there is really no need to help the Li family restore Gaoping. We support the Ruan family and we can compete with the Zheng family."

Chu Yun pondered: "Let's do it this way. Let the Chief Secretary of Yunnan send troops and local chieftains to disband the Mo clan, and dismantle the Mo clan and resettle them to various places in Yunnan and Guangxi. As for the Mo clan and important officials, let Guangnan Prefecture The family and the Shen family in Fuzhou put him under house arrest in Guangnan Prefecture."

Perhaps Mo Jingkuan never imagined that his fate would be hastily decided by Chu Yun and the others.Chu Yun and the others didn't expect Mo Jingkuan to help check and balance the Zheng family at all. Instead, they regarded him as a shit-stirring stick, as long as he didn't make trouble.

"The establishment of the Independent Corps is not a matter of the Ministry of War, and local officials need to cooperate." Chu Yun thought for a while, "Some officials in the south are investigating in southern Liaoning, and the officials from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian are asked to end their trip immediately and return to the south to assist in the formation of the Independent Corps. "

In Jinzhou City Academy of Sciences in southern Liaoning, a group of former Ming Dynasty officials were listening to Stephen Sun explaining the principle of trains.

"The bogie of the train is stuck on the track and runs along the track. When turning, the bogie rotates to allow the train to continue running along the track. When turning, the outer rail is higher than the inner rail. And train braking is artificially stopping the movement of the train, including Slow it down, don't speed it up or stop it." Stephen Sun explained to them using his own structural diagrams and design drawings.

These officials nodded with a vague understanding, and they already understood what was going on.Officials who haven't been able to understand it at least have no fear of trains.As long as you know that this is not a supernatural design, but something that is good for the national economy and the people's livelihood, it is faster than a horse-drawn cart, and can transport more goods than a horse-drawn cart!

"Professor Stephen Sun, we are from the military department, and we are here to find some officials." While Stephen Sun was introducing to everyone, several military officers stationed in the Jinzhou Branch broke in.

Many officials pricked up their ears, wanting to know what happened urgently.Otherwise, it would be impossible to alert the military to find someone.

"Xiong Wencan, Shen Youlong, Hu Yong..." The people in the military department read the names of several officials, "You follow me."

"Why are they all officials from Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan and other places? Could it be that something happened there?" The people present were all elites in the officialdom, and they immediately discovered the pattern.

"It's better not to speculate casually. Since it's none of our business, let's continue our course with peace of mind." Officials from Jiangnan and other places said, "Professor Stephen Sun, I have some doubts..."

Xiong Wencan, Shen Youlong and others were suddenly recruited by people from the military department, and they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Brother, I don't know what the military department wants us to do?" Xiong Wencan asked proactively.

Even if he is a local civil affairs official, he is terrified of the military department that upholds the will of the military master.

"It's not a matter of urgency. The military leader wants to transfer troops from Guangzhou, Xiangyang, and Chengdu to form an independent corps and station them in Guilin. Considering that the territory of you and other officials is the closest to Guilin, you should provide material and manpower support. ’” said the military officer.

"So it was just to form a new army." Xiong Wencan breathed a sigh of relief.The situation of the military department made Xiong Wencan almost doubt his life.

"I'm a civil affairs official in Fujian. Fujian is a long way from Guilin, right? Why should I be in a hurry to go back?" Shen Youlong asked puzzled.

"Oh, I forgot to inform you. Lord Shen Youlong, you have been transferred by the military commander to be the civil affairs officer in Yunnan, and Lord Xiong Wencan is also the civil affairs officer in Guangdong and Guangxi. He temporarily governs Guangdong and Guangxi to facilitate the dispatch of supplies and troops." Military Department people said.

"This..." Shen Youlong looked confused, and was dispatched from coastal Fujian to the Chief Secretary of Yunnan. This was relegation in ancient times.

"Guangdong civil affairs officer?" Xiong Wencan was a little surprised. This is equivalent to becoming an official like the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi again?
"Brother Xiong, it's really a turn of events. Now it's your turn to have a higher official position than my younger brother." Shen Youlong congratulated Xiong Wencan.

"Let's forget about the past. I think the purpose of the military leader's arrangement is to allow us to work together and safely complete the formation of the new army." Xiong Wencan frowned and thought for a while.

The forces facing Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan seem to have no one except An Nanguo.
