I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 47

Chapter 046

"Congratulations, my lord, the military spirit is available!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Song Xiance and said, "How is the matter that I told you going?"

"Just about to tell the lord that [-] sets of military uniforms have been made!"

Song Xiance likes his current job very much, because almost all of them are women in the military uniform factory, and there are very few women in Zuoqianhu, and all of them are sallow and thin, like bean sprouts.

However, with the large amount of food purchased and distributed as wages, these women can eat enough, get nourished, and their complexions become rosy.In the past, I felt that there were no good-looking women in the entire Qianhu Institute, but now it seems that no matter whether it is a big girl or a young wife, they look quite decent.

Cheng Shijie said: "The military uniform factory can't stop. It is ready to purchase cotton and rush to make cotton clothes. It is already September, and the cold at night is unbearable."

Song Xiance breathed a sigh of relief. Those women workers in the quilt factory who had tasted the sweetness were unwilling to go back to the past. With the completion of the production task of [-] sets of military uniforms, these women often came to Song Xiance to intercede.

Originally because of his short stature and ugly appearance, Song Xiance has become a favorite now.Song Xiance, who has lived without touching a woman for more than 30 years, and a widow.

This can be regarded as an old house on fire, which is out of control.

Song Xiance not only had an extra daughter-in-law, but also brought two children.

"There is one more important matter that needs to be reported to the lord!"

"what!"

"We're running out of money!"

Song Xiance smiled wryly and said: "Steel factories, iron ore factories, carriage factories, quilt factories, textile factories, as well as the construction of barracks, houses, gun bureaus, armor and crossbow bureaus, need money everywhere, we bought it last month Forty-six thousand stones of grain... In order to increase production capacity, our manpower is no longer sufficient, and we have begun to recruit refugees, and now Ninghai City has exceeded 2 people..."

"What did you say?"

Cheng Shijie frowned: "There are more than 2 people in Ninghai City, and there are more than 4000 people here. You have recruited four or five thousand refugees in less than a month?"

"Population is mainly needed!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said, "Just tell me, how much money is left?"

Song Xiance said: "There are less than 4000 taels of silver!"

"Well, I'll give you three more crystal carriages!"

Cheng Shijie pondered: "There are too many things like this in Dengzhou, and they need to be sent to Beijing or Nanjing to sell."

"Save at the door!"

Originally, he wanted to train the troops for a few more days, but because of the money problem, it was urgent to attack Zhensanshan. If this continued, he would go bankrupt.

Although Cheng Shijie said that Ning Haijun lacked food and equipment, he was actually wrong. What he lacked was only sophisticated equipment, not ordinary equipment.

In fact, Cheng Shijie's family background is quite rich now, and his equipment is divided into three sources. One of them is Jin Yousheng, who served as Cheng Shijie, who was defeated by Qin Wu and gave him a batch of equipment. In the end, it was the equipment that was sold to Jin Yousheng for the credit.

When annihilating the bandit Qin Wu's headquarters, he seized more than [-] pieces of various messy equipment. If the troops were armed according to Qin Wu's method, these equipment could arm more than [-] people.

In addition to the 900 pairs of iron armor, [-] long spears, [-] waist knives, and six bowl-mouth guns sent by Jin Yousheng before the battle, there were more than [-] long spears and spears seized later.In terms of long soldiers alone, Cheng Shijie has more than [-] of them.

As for waist knives, he owns 600 stainless steel Tang Hengdao purchased from later generations, 1000 from the guards, and more than [-] seized. He also has more than [-] knives.

In addition, three artillery pieces and more than 60 guns were captured.

When trading military exploits, Cheng Shijie changed 120 firecrackers, five thousand catties of gunpowder, plus the previous one thousand catties, he had a total of more than six thousand catties of gunpowder. He has three types of firecrackers in total, 180 seven.

There are 280 horses, more than 130 long spears, [-] nine pairs of iron armor, [-] three pairs of leather armor, and some of them are broken, which have not been maintained in time.

On the surface, Cheng Shijie's Ning Haijun only has more than [-] soldiers, but he has a gun bureau with a total of more than [-] people. These are firearms soldiers and craftsmen who were looted from Zuo Qianhu and other thousands of households. composition.

Not only Cheng Shijie looks like a firecracker, but other thousands of households also regard the firecracker as a scourge. It's not that Ming has no technology, but that the people in charge of managing the Ministry of War are all civil officials. In order to make money, the civil officials will do everything they can. They made gun barrels The high-quality steel products were sold, and those craftsmen had no choice but to cook without rice.

Therefore, these craftsmen took advantage of Cheng Shijie. As for the armored crossbow bureau, there were not many craftsmen, because excellent crossbow craftsmen were treasures in the hands of any thousand households.These workers are based on Zuoqianhu, a total of 87 craftsmen. In order to increase production capacity, Cheng Shijie sent them more than 100 young apprentices aged [-] or [-].

As a mobile force, Cheng Shijie formed another transport troop based on [-] young and strong soldiers. These soldiers were only equipped with waist knives transported from Dengzhou Guards. The quality of these waist knives was not as good as those seized from Qin Wu Woolen cloth.The only change, however, is that these transport vehicles take the form of a four-wheeled carriage.

The supply transport unit had not yet had time to form an army. First of all, there was a shortage of horse-drawn carriages. Although Cheng Shijie could bring high-quality bearings from later generations, the problem was that the axles were too heavy, so they could only be manually forged in this era.

With the issuance of [-] sets of military uniforms, the appearance of Ning Haijun has undergone tremendous changes. Big family.

Black short shirt top, black trousers, black shoes, if you wear it with a black face scarf, you will be a killer in later generations of film and television dramas.

In fact, the style of clothing is not very important. No matter what kind of clothing, once it has a scale, it will be quite shocking.Two thousand and five hundred people were divided into a square matrix of fifty times fifty.This is because of the basic establishment of the Ning Navy, each team has 500 people, and the four teams are one post, plus the deputy chief, exactly 12 people.

The Ning Navy has a total of fifty combat posts.

"Meet the General!"

Cheng Shijie said loudly: "Soldiers, do you still remember what a soldier is?"

"Defend the home and the country, protect the village!"

"Very well, very correct!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "There are many veterans among you, and these veterans all have their own fields. The general will not distribute these lands to everyone according to the head. Do you want to know the reason? Because if the points are averaged, some people will face The enemy will pee their pants, run away, be timid, surrender, and even... think about dealing with the poor, so it is unfair to the real warriors to distribute these fields evenly. Therefore, the military field is only awarded to the real warriors. Warriors, in the Han Dynasty, a soldier of the Han army, holding a ring sword and a rhubarb crossbow, traveled thousands of miles, and one Han was equal to five Hu. They have no courage against the Han army. The same is true for the Tang army. In the Tang Dynasty, if you want to be a mansion soldier, you will be given 180 mu of land!"

"so much?"

"A lot?"

Cheng Shijie shook his head and said, "In my general's opinion, there are really not many. If you have the combat power of the Tang army in the future, this general will reward you with three hundred acres, five hundred acres, or even one thousand acres of land!"

"report!"

"speak!"

"The general bragging!"

"Ha ha……"

Cheng Shijie said solemnly: "The general is really not bragging. The Tang army only has 620 seven mansions, and our Ming Dynasty has 540 seven guards. However, the Tang army has a maximum of 200 people in each Zhechong mansion, and the total force is only 60. However, the Tang army fought westward from Chang'an to the shore of the Caspian Sea. You may not know where the Caspian Sea is. This general can tell you that the Caspian Sea is [-] miles west of Chang'an. Annan, they hit the vast sea in the north, don't they deserve to own a thousand acres of land?"

"qualified!"

"Do you want it?"

"miss you!"

"The land you want is actually very simple. Cut off an enemy's head and return it. This general will give you ten acres of land!"

"report!"

"speak!"

"Cut off ten enemy's heads, can you give one hundred acres?"

"That's right!"

"report!"

"If I cut off a hundred heads, will I be given a thousand acres of land?"

"Get out, this general don't want to talk!"

All the soldiers laughed.

Cheng Shijie said: "Distribute the equipment and get ready to go!"

"Yes!"

Any army builds absolute self-confidence with victory.At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang, a young novice in Huangjue Temple, never thought that one day he would be able to sit on the throne, hold the heavenly constitution in his mouth, and caress all directions.Because he was only a nine-man commander at first, as he used victory after victory to expand his army again and again, after eight years of fighting in the north and south, he finally had 20 troops and [-] troops.

It took 1368 years until the establishment of Daming in the first year of Hongwu (12), from the 1352th year of Zhizheng (16) to defect to Guo Zixing, and from the time Zhu Chongba changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, Cheng Shijie deliberately did not train the tactical skills of Ning Navy officers and men, but only basic training.He understands basic military training. Although he is not from a military background, the problem is that Hansteel Group itself is a relatively large supporter of the military. More than one-third of its employees are veterans. Even higher, belonging to the active lieutenant colonel, equivalent to the rank of deputy regiment.

Hansteel Group conducts a half-month rotation training for all employees every year. It is a full-time training. It only trains the three basic steps of the queue, the four-way turn method and the basic movements such as squatting and standing.

Not to mention that Cheng Shijie was not a soldier, even if he was a real soldier, copying the military training regulations of later generations would not work, because the combat targets are different, the combat objectives are different, the weapons and equipment are different, and the training and organization methods are different. Need to explore.

In the first battle of Ning Haijun, the opponent was a very weak existence. Although Zhen San was nicknamed Zhen Sanshan, in fact, the number of bandits in this group was very small, only more than 100.

Even if there are no more than [-] people in Ning Haijun, and only Cheng Shijie's [-] soldiers, he is still confident enough to kill Zhen Sanshan.

Picking soft persimmons is actually not ashamed, some are good, at least when you don't have enough strength, this is the safest way.
