Chapter 88 Compression (Part 2)
It's still that afternoon, it's still the same notice board with advertisements, it's still the same little official shouting at the top of his lungs, it's still the same advertisement recruiting female workers, but it's just not as good as last time. This time I really have the patience to listen carefully.
There are only a few of them, and most of them are young girls and young wives who, once they heard about the recruitment of female workers, they went directly to the military uniform tailoring workshop.
The only person who felt helpless here was Tailor Zhou, who was in charge of the interview last time. He was not in charge this time, but the women who came here without even reading the results insisted that they were looking for him.
During the interview, Mouse Xuzi had already begun to cast suspicious eyes on this unlucky guy.
As a result of the previous recruitment, the marked benefits were fulfilled unexpectedly, and the money was really paid every day. Everyone in Nan'ao City, and even on the entire Nan'ao Island, knew that working in the Ordnance Bureau, the treatment was good and guaranteed, so once there was
After hearing the news about recruitment, they immediately flocked to the company, fearing that they would be late and not even have time to read the recruitment notice.
Chen Kai has begun to plan the vacant land in the city to build a larger military uniform production workshop instead of the current small workshop. As for the output, the modern garment production process, such as Chen Kai's, numbers the number of female workers.
Once you go up, you can directly increase the output without anything else. Moreover, the female workers are only responsible for cutting and sewing, which are compulsory courses for women in this era during their girlhood. With a little guidance, they can be competent, and even the training costs are saved.
Already.
All the work of the Ordnance Bureau is actually on the normal track. With Chen Kai by his side, he is not afraid of anyone daring to undermine the law. The tasks have been delegated, and what is left for Chen Kai is to supervise the work. Recently, he has also prepared
He was planning to build a research institute in physics and chemistry, but he didn't have the right talents, and he hadn't figured out where to start. In other words, he had to give back all the gains he had gained during his studies to the teacher early, otherwise
Not so embarrassed.
After everything was arranged, Chen Kai found that he immediately returned to his nine-to-five life. However, to his surprise, just a few days later, a new announcement came, that the job was in Guangjimen
The smiles on the tower became even stronger.
………………
After several days of planning and preparation, Zheng Chenggong issued a new round of personnel transfer orders a few days after Chen Kai returned to Nan'ao Island. The first one was about the organization of the newly attached Guangdong and Fujian troops.
"Appoint Shi Lang, the general commander of the town, as the chief military officer of Zuoxiang Town..."
"Appoint, Headquarters Huang Ting as the chief military officer of the Zuozhen Suppression..."
"Appointing Deputy Commander-in-Chief Hong Xishan as the Commander-in-Chief of Youchong Town..."
"..."
The surrender of a large army, its strength is half of the original size of Zheng Chenggong's army, and after joining, it also accounts for one-third of the total army. This is an extremely large faction, and if it is not handled well, the result is likely to be
A civil war.
In this regard, Zheng Chenggong chose to divide it into three, with two chief military officers and one deputy general uniting each unit. But before that, even on the way back, he obviously had a plan, so when the army arrived in Chaozhou
After disembarking, they asked the people of the Chaozhou City Guards Association to place these troops in camps at different locations, so that they could be decomposed until they arrived.
"An army can only have one voice!"
Chen Kai had already seen Zheng Chenggong's thoughts on the city gate tower, so he raised the issue of replacing military uniforms and collecting damaged weapons for replacement at the military meeting, in order to remove a large number of weapons and equipment from his troops.
Prevent unnecessary turmoil caused by splitting.
The two of them had already figured out Shi Lang's plan without speaking or even looking at each other. But if Zheng Chenggong was really as hostile to Shi Lang as Chen Kai was, it wasn't necessarily true. In the early years, the uncles and nephews of the Shi family were
The problem of disobedience during Zheng Chenggong's command is definitely still one of them. More importantly, Zheng Chenggong cannot allow this newly attached army to become too united within it, which will inevitably affect the stability of the entire army.
The four thousand army was divided into three. Although Shi Lang, Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and other generals have too many common experiences, they can be said to be aliens to those generals who unswervingly follow Zheng Chenggong. They will always be closer, but it is always easier.
It was Shi Lang, or Wu Yibo Shifu who had drifted to an unknown place, to command an army of four thousand men.
Pan Gengzhong, who had recently joined the army under Zheng Chenggong, read out the appointment. Shi Langdeng immediately frowned. When Huang Ting and Hong Xishan accepted the appointment loudly, he glared at them fiercely.
Since the surrender of this army to the Qing Dynasty, due to the retirement of Cheng Jibo Zheng Zhibao, Shi Fu became the commander-in-chief of the army. The influence of the Shi family in this Fujian army has gradually increased. It can even be said that this Fujian army can be regarded as a Shi family army.
Li Chengdong's split, Hao Shangjiu's conspiracy, Zheng Chenggong's rescue and wooing, and Chen Kai's push. Now, Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and others have also shown their desire to defect to their old masters and their centrifugal force against the Shi family.
Although Shi Lang was very angry about this, he also knew that his troops were far inferior to Zheng Chenggong's old troops in terms of strength. They just wanted to pull the team away. They had no food and grass, and even most of their weapons were taken away by Chen Kai. At this point,
Regardless of his intentions, Shi Lang suddenly realized that the proportion of the army he led to surrender was too large, which had aroused Zheng Chenggong's vigilance.
"Appoint and recruit the general Shi Xian to be the deputy general of the Central Army in Zuoxiang Town..."
"Appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief Su Mao as Deputy General of Zuoying of Zuoxiang Town..."
"..."
After hearing the next appointment, Shi Lang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least, Zheng Chenggong had no intention of adding sand to the troops under his command. The generals in Zuo Xianfeng Town were either his younger brother or his subordinates. On the contrary, they were better than the original ones.
It is much more pure and easy to control the four thousand troops. However, with the troops under the command of Huang Ting and Hong Xishan, the influence of the Shi family will inevitably enter a downward trend, which is inevitable.
"Zuo Xianfeng Town is the Shi Jiajun who has been refined after the compromise!"
On Nan'ao Island, a hundred miles away, Chen Kai looked at this series of personnel transfers in detail, but couldn't help but sneered.
Historically, Shi Lang led this army to defect to Zheng Chenggong. Since Hao Shangjiu had already killed Che Renzhong and occupied Chaozhou Fucheng, Shi Lang's troops were plotted there and fled all the way to Raoping County, defending more than one city.
Yue Cai broke out of the siege, and the losses were even greater than now. But at that time, Zheng Chenggong's power was probably only a little more than half of what it is now. Calculated in proportion, the proportion of this newly attached army in the army was actually
Even more exaggerated than now.
However, with Chen Kai's efforts, Zheng Chenggong's troops became stronger than ever before. Even though the strength of this newly attached army was reduced, its proportion was still much smaller. In this way, Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong
There is even more room for maneuver.
"Appoint Yang Cai, the former chief military officer of Youchong Town, to take charge of Youxianfeng Town, and Zhongjingbo Chen Hui, the former chief military officer of Youxianfeng Town, to guard Chenghai; appoint deputy general Huang Shan as the chief military officer of Youzhen to assist and suppress; abolish the left and right
In the establishment of the town guard, the two departments were merged into one to form a Rongqi town, which was personally led by General Zhaozong; Guo Tai, the former chief soldier of Zuohu town, guarded Raoping County, and Yu Kuan, the former chief soldier of Youhu town, guarded Dongshan Island...
"
After carefully reading the appointment, Chen Kai did not rush to open the letter sent by Zheng Chenggong, but closed his eyes and rested. The establishments of Zuo Xianfeng Town and Rongqi Town were two thousand each.
Town, the seven towns including Youzhen, Zhongchong Town, Houchong Town, Zuochong Town, and Youchong Town each have one thousand soldiers. The number of soldiers and horses in these nine towns that only exist as mobile forces has exceeded 10,000.
A thousand people. If you include the local garrisons in various places, it will be an army of 15,000!
More importantly, Rongqi Town, the predecessor and foundation of two of the four ace troops of Zheng Chenggong's Army Division in history, finally entered the stage of history. However, the proportion of newly attached armies was still too large.
, so big that when Chen Kai opened Zheng Chenggong's letter, he noticed at first glance that he did not plan to launch too many military operations in recent months.
