"Sir, this group of people came from Datong, Shanxi, and there are nearly 5,000 people. Baidu search b1 3kanwang/b b/ no pop-up window/b. View the latest chapter" Hundreds of people were sitting on the carriage. They were planning to march eastward to Liaodong with Wan Lei. Due to the Qin King's military rebellion in Shaanxi, many people in Shanxi fled early to Beiping Province for fear of being affected by the military disaster.
Of course, the main reason why these people were able to reach Beiping Province safely was because Wan Lei had already used money to pave the road. Some guards on the Shanxi border took advantage and turned a blind eye to the refugees moving eastward. Yan Jin, the prefect of Datong Prefecture, accepted the five thousand taels of silver from Wan Lei, and even took the initiative to send the refugees under his rule to Wan Lei.
There are many local officials like Yan Jin. Anyway, in the eyes of the government, these refugees are a burden and a source of trouble, so it would be better to send them away. However, in Wan Lei's eyes, these people are the most valuable labor force for the development of Liaodong. It depends on them.
Since the refugees come from Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, the living environment there is not much better than that in Liaodong. The people are used to hardship and hard work, and they can adapt quickly to the bitter cold Liaodong. In order to stimulate their enthusiasm for pioneering and enterprising, Wan Lei promised them a share of The land is divided according to head, and each person has no less than twenty acres.
At the same time, in order to encourage them to build new homes by themselves, Wan Lei also sent them many projects. Of course, these projects were mainly urban construction, logging and cutting stones to build towns. These towns will be their future settlements and also future industrial bases.
Of course, Wan Lei assigned jobs to the refugees, and of course he had to take care of their food and pay them wages. He asked the refugees to form groups spontaneously and selected some foremen. He contracted the project to the foreman, who led his men to complete the project and inspected it. After passing the exam, wages were paid, and the refugee team transformed into an organized and disciplined production and construction corps.
"Brother, your injury is not fully healed. Come and sit in the car." Zhao Xueer poked her head out of a carriage.
In fact, this kind of carriage is the latest carriage in Beiping City. Although the interior and exterior decoration is not luxurious, it is very high-tech. It is not only equipped with steel bearings to reduce friction and bumps of the wheels, but is also equipped with spring shock absorbers for people to sit on. On top, smooth and comfortable, this kind of carriage became very popular once it was launched.
Horse-drawn carriages are so popular that backward means of transportation such as sedan chairs have almost disappeared in Beiping City. Except for some sedan chairs used for weddings, many people even use horse-drawn carriages for weddings. Of course, this is also because Wan Lei strongly advocated that in Beiping, In his eyes, no one should sit on anyone else's head except the dead and injured.
In addition, the wind direction in Beiping City has changed. Everyone has a job and everyone is living a fast-paced life. People can't run along the aisles, and no one uses slow sedans to travel. The sedan has entered history. A garbage dump, but the city of Beiping has been developing vigorously and progressing.
"The sun is good today, it would be good for us to ride horses and bask in the sun." Wan Lei did not get on the carriage, but asked Jingzhong Guard to prepare a big black horse for him.
"The sun is so poisonous, I don't want to be tanned." Zhao Xueer pouted and entered the horse curtain. In fact, she invited Wan Lei to get in the car, just because she wanted to have a world of two people. If you abandon the car and ride a horse, there will be people all around. With a lot of people watching, she was thin-skinned and embarrassed to flirt openly.
Of course, Wan Lei knew the little calculations in Zhao Xueer's heart. He just smiled slightly, jumped on his horse, and moved forward with a whip. The carriage team behind him also set off slowly together. Since there were many refugees traveling with him, hundreds of large vehicles The carriage was either crowded with people or loaded with supplies, and the group was quite large.
When there were more people, the journey naturally slowed down. The thousand elite guards who escorted Wan Lei to Liaodong patrolled back and forth between the teams. The team was also very orderly. Wan Lei would go hand in hand with a carriage carrying people from time to time. , chatting up the daily routine with the refugees on the carriage. Seeing that Wan Lei was so approachable, the refugees felt much less sad about leaving their homeland.
Although the future is long, with such a good leader, life will definitely become better in the future. This is the thought in the hearts of all refugees.
The group left Peiping, passed through Tongzhou, and it was dark when they arrived in Jizhou. The team spent the night in the military camp in Jizhou City. At this time, there were 40,000 newly recruited troops in Jizhou City. Under the leadership of Zhou Tianshou, they began to rush. Xun. Wan Lei passed by this place, so of course he had to inspect it.
Since the newly recruited 40,000 troops were recruited from the two Hejian Prefectures in Baoding, they were not as good as the aborigines of Shuntian Prefecture in terms of organizational discipline and recognition. In order to do a good job in ideological work and to strictly enforce military discipline, Wan Lei took a thousand The Jingzhong Guard assigned Zhou Tianshou to disperse these people into various battalions of the New Army.
In addition to the Jingzhong Guards serving as the propaganda team, the 40,000 new troops are also led by 10,000 veterans. In this way, the new soldiers can be integrated into the melting pot of the Peking Army as quickly as possible. At the same time, The new army has the same organizational model as the old army. It has not only officers at all levels, but also party and political commissars, and those honest and outstanding recruits are included in the Zulong Party.
"Brother Zhou, how is the training of the new army going?"
"Most of the new army is from farmers. Although they are all big and round, they have not experienced life-and-death battles like our Peiping army. They just lack that fierceness. As the training intensifies, many people will complain, and some will even pretend to be It's really not easy to avoid training when you are sick." Zhou Tianshou expressed his bitterness.
"As new recruits, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. In the future, not only must military discipline be strictly enforced, but the bottom ranks must also be eliminated." Wan Lei said sternly.
"Elimination at the bottom?" This was the first time Zhou Tianshou heard this term, so naturally he didn't quite understand it.
"The last elimination is to eliminate those with lower training scores from the military camp. Our Peking Army is not a welfare society and does not support soldiers. Once you enter the military camp, you can eat well, wear good clothes, and get high military pay. Enjoy such a good thing The treatment, of course, requires hard work and hard work. If they are not willing to work hard in training, why are we raising them?!"
"Oh, this is a good idea. From now on, in the monthly assessment, those with lower training scores will be sent home. If these new recruits want to stay in the army, they will have to work hard." Zhou Tianshou also laughed.
"We would rather retire those who cannot bear the hardship than let those who are insufficiently trained serve as a burden on the front line," Wan Lei said.
"Understood, what our Peiping Army wants is elite soldiers, not quantity, but quality." Zhou Tianshou nodded and asked: "I heard that the Logistics and Equipment Department has freed up matchlock guns. When can they be equipped in the army? Ah, our brothers are tired of using bows and arrows."
The so-called Logistics Equipment Department is actually a weapons research and development and production department. Like the Jingzhong Guard, this department is managed by Wan Lei alone, and no one else is allowed to interfere. Most of the employees in the Logistics Equipment Department are wounded soldiers injured on the battlefield. This high-paying job can be considered a kind of perks.
Of course, preferential care is a priority, and Wan Lei has not relaxed his training and guidance for these people. These people were injured on the battlefield and lost their combat effectiveness, and they had nothing to do. Under Wan Lei's guidance, most of them were interested in research and development. and became interested in producing weapons.
In fact, the matchlock gun does not have much technological content. It is not much different from the firecrackers used by the Ming army. They both have a barrel and are ignited by an open flame. The only difference is that the matchlock gun has a butt and a front sight. .The barrel is made of steel, which not only reduces the size, but also standardizes the shape, and also has standardized "bullets".
The so-called "bullets" are of course not the copper bullets that are common in later generations, but the pre-prepared gunpowder and lead bullets are wrapped in kraft paper. When filling, they are plugged into the barrel and can be ignited and fired. Moreover, the kraft paper has also been nitrated. It is also combustible, which saves a lot of troublesome steps of loading ammunition.
However, this kind of matchlock gun still has some shortcomings. One of them is that the range is too short. Because the kraft paper is used as the "shell", the air tightness is reduced, and the explosive power of the ammunition is also reduced. The effective killing range of the lead bullets fired is only a few dozen meters. ; In addition, it relies on match ropes to light and cannot be used in rainy and foggy weather, so Wan Lei did not equip them with the cavalry, but only equipped them with the city defense troops.
"We can't rush this yet. The matchlock gun is still relatively backward and is not conducive to immediate combat. I have asked people to develop a new type of gunpowder. This gunpowder does not need to be ignited by an open flame. It can explode violently as long as it is hit. It is just too dangerous and cannot be used for the time being. When safer firing powder is developed in the future, it can be used to make bullets that are easier to load and more powerful guns, which can then be equipped in the army."
What Wan Lei said is correct. He has developed a new type of gunpowder that does not require an open flame to ignite and can explode with a slight impact. The scientific name of this gunpowder is nitroglycerin. It is a liquid explosive and its raw material is glycerin. Concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid are very dangerous and should not be produced.
Now he is thinking of ways to optimize the production process and add stabilizers to this gunpowder to make it safer and more practical. As long as it is successfully developed and mass-produced, it can replace black powder. By then, standardized production of guns and ammunition will be easy to load. , more powerful, more accurate, and not affected by weather, the ferocious features of guns will be fully revealed.
"Oh, there is such a good thing, then I will wait patiently and see." Zhou Tianshou's face was full of hope. As the commander of the first army, he certainly hopes that his army will be equipped with more powerful guys. , it will be much easier to fight in this way.
"In the end, it is people who determine victory or defeat on the battlefield. Brother Zhou, please forget about the equipment and train the army first. I promise that as soon as the new guns leave the factory, they will be equipped for you in every batch."
"Haha, that's a good relationship." Zhou Tianshou scratched his head and asked: "I heard that we want to import a batch of samurai swords from Japan. This matter..."
"We are preparing to import a batch of samurai swords, a total of five thousand, and I will leave one thousand for you when the time comes."
"Only a thousand?" Zhou Tianshou was a little dissatisfied.
"One thousand guns are for the Jingzhong Guards. Each of you four commanders will have one thousand guns. Let the important brothers get them first. They will have a good time. When more are imported in the future, they will be distributed to the lower levels." It has to be said that the Japanese are. The quality of domestically produced samurai swords is good, and Wan Lei is too lazy to ask the equipment department to reproduce the sabers, so he can just import them directly from Japan.
Of course, Wan Lei also had ulterior motives for doing this. Although the knives produced by the Japanese country are good, domestic iron ore and coal resources are scarce. Now a large number of them are mined to produce military knives, which has hollowed out the iron ore and coal mines. In the future, he wants to There is no capital left for industrialization.
