Chapter 112: Military Management (2)
87_87379 "What's the sound?" What does it smell?
Yo...... If you really know how to play, I'll try it later! â
Gu Qi walked, there was no sound of speaking, and the things under the round table could not be covered, Gui Shun opened it and took a look, and after giving a thumbs up, he had to do the same, and Li Dacheng, who was a little relaxed, did not stay on Gui Shun's side for long, and hurriedly went to the room where he was deliberating, and Qi Shiduo and others still had to ask about the harvest.
"Senior brother, yesterday's harvest was good, there are more than 6,000 boxes of various belongings, and there are no less than 3,000 silver boxes of 2,000 taels, this Jinmen is really rich!"
Cao Baofu, who has not participated in the robbery, can be regarded as having opened his eyes, this money comes faster than the wind, the six thousand boxes of property are only valuable, and the rest of the things are also a lot, this senior brother will naturally not forget them who work hard, right?
"Give you a million taels of silver to give to Lao Caoyong, Lao Cao, can you guarantee that they will not die one by one?"
One million taels of silver is not a lot of money for Li Dacheng, Gui Shun's house in the capital is worth tens of millions, and one million is just a number, what he wants is the heart of Lao Caoyong who does not hesitate to fight to the death.
"Done! With one million taels of silver, they all dare to wipe their necks and hang themselves! â
"That's good! The property is still for Lao Liucheng, let people talk to him, this batch of property is mainly for the purchase of grain, and the gap of grain in Beijing and Tianjin is at least more than one million stones, so that he can focus on food in the near future.
Zhili and Shandong should also distribute some to ensure that the victims do not go north. â
At home, Li Dacheng felt that one capital was enough, and the next step was to do good deeds with the silver, otherwise many people would starve to death as soon as the war began.
"Hmmm! It's still the elder brother who is benevolent! By the way, yesterday we also got more than 2,000 boxes of tobacco, and I heard that kid from Shidor say, you want this thing, big brother, tobacco and soil hurt people! Don't get it! â
Cao Baofu's words made Li Dacheng feel comfortable to listen to, but these words were redundant, he didn't want to play with this thing yet, and if he played with this thing, he couldn't play with other things.
"How much does a box of tobacco weigh?"
"One hundred and fifty pounds with skin, if you peel it, there should be one hundred and twenty or thirty pounds, right?"
"Two thousand boxes are too much, we can't use them, five thousand catties to ten thousand catties should be enough, this thing is valuable, just leave five thousand catties, let Cheng You take it to the south to exchange food, as soon as the war starts, this thing should be a lot more expensive, let Cheng You sell it at a higher price!"
By the way, do you remember where you grabbed the tobacco? Ask who the main family is, today I took his house with him, the men filled the army, and the women were sent to the barracks! â
A load of tobacco soil, bulk trading, imported five or six hundred taels, domestic two or three hundred taels, the demand for this thing can be regarded as a rigid demand, unstoppable! Smoking? I can't bear this country, there are tens of millions of smokers!
The best way to ban smoking is to raise the price, mentioning that if you use it for two or three months, Wanguan family wealth can also be lost, you can't afford it, you can't afford it, you can't afford it, you can't afford it, you will naturally smoke less, and the tobacco business has also entered Li Dacheng's eyes, it's just that there are many people in the whole country who have such rigid needs, five hundred taels is its five thousand, fifty thousand, and even five hundred thousand taels is it, doing this business will play monopoly and make a fortune, the import and export of this thing is nothing more than a few places, there is a gun in hand, it is not difficult to do monopoly trading, Gui Shun is not just able to be the owner? The government is the best way to monopolize.
Li Dacheng is not against this deal, and it is reasonable to save zĂ i! Although there are some big smokers like Guishun, Li Dacheng has no enmity with silver, as long as he can form a monopoly in the future, not many people will soon be able to afford to smoke, and it is not wrong to ban smoking and make a fortune, it seems that the method of chemical refining, it is time to find someone to ponder and ponder, and the accumulated goods must be dealt with, right?
In Li Dacheng's impression, in the end, it seems that the foreign devils are the biggest consumers of this thing, and it is just a matter of doing deep processing and selling it back by themselves, which is not a lack of virtue, even if it is a lack of virtue, it is also a lack of virtue that they lack first, right? What everyone lacks together is really lacking!
Li Dacheng thought about things, Cao Baofu wanted to speak several times, and seeing that Li Dacheng didn't mean to ask again, he took the initiative to open his mouth.
"Senior brother, these days in Jinmen, I'm here...... I met a group of old bars here, all of whom had already made great efforts on the Nancang boat, and they also wanted to ...... I also want to enter our altar......"
If Li Dacheng's power was still the previous Yellow River Fist of 20,000 or 30,000 people, Cao Baofu would not speak so verbosely, but now there are 200,000 or 300,000 people in the Yellow River Fist.
"This thing...... What price did you promise? â
"Thirty taels!"
"Fifty! Add two more stones of grain, and you will have as much as you want. â
"Senior brother benevolence!"
"Benevolence? Lao Cao, in the past two days, the Zhenwei army has a shortage of guns and artillery, and Lao Tzu asked you to go up and block the guns and die, this is called benevolence and righteousness?
After this battle, you old Cao Yong are afraid that there will not be many people to live, have you figured this out? â
The army rushed to kill, Li Dacheng didn't need Cao Baofu and their group of people, but when they retreated, Jinmen must have reached the time when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and the army of foreign devils was behind, and Cao Baofu's more than 10,000 people were the human wall left by Li Dacheng.
Let the Boxers rush to the front, Li Dacheng has no psychological burden, after all, most of them take the initiative to make trouble, Cao Baofu is different, the bottom of more than 10,000 old Cao Yong Li Dacheng also knows that the small half is the one who has really practiced Cao Yong's group training, and most of the rest are old men recruited from Shandong! This is really buying life with money.
"Why don't I say that the senior brother is benevolent? Why are we alive with our old necks? It's not for the sake of children and grandchildren, there are years to earn their lives and live, and they can live for a few years, and if there is a disease or a disaster, they have to drag down their children.
Although the big brother's business is not benevolent, but the benevolence and righteousness of the deeds, the silver that our more than 10,000 old things exchanged for their lives is enough for our children and grandchildren to eat, isn't this earned?
Senior brother, you see, this is the longevity clothes made by my daughter-in-law for me, I estimate the time, my first seven houses have been burned out, and when I am gone, I have almost burned twenty-seven and thirty-seven!
I brought this group of old brothers, all carrying such a burden, there is nothing else in it is shroud and longevity shoes, in the past, we are such old things are gone, and the straw mat is buried and it is over, how can there be spare money to burn seven, eat and make offerings?
Senior brother, just rest assured, this business is not a ghost on your side, the benevolent and righteous people on our side, damn it, no words! â
Looking at Cao Baofu's black coarse cloth shroud in front of him, Li Dacheng had nothing to say, this debt was owed.
"Find a few literate people, get a roster, let the old six save zĂ i Shandong, Li Dacheng will never treat the old man's family members badly in the future, even if it is a big famine, Lao Tzu will cut his own flesh, and he will never let these people starve to death!"
"The roster was made when I was in Cangzhou Mansion, and with the words of senior brother, we can go more assured!"
"It's done! These days, it is good to eat well, and you should look for the sixth person in one degree. â
Before the war started, Cao Baofu first added a heavy burden to Li Dacheng, and I don't know if he can carry it in the future?
Some walked out of the house lonely, Li Dacheng waited outside the lobby of the government office, the discussion of the law of military management was still ongoing, Tingjie's side did not support such a method, this is no different from arson.
But it is not he who has the final say in the government office, no matter how loud his voice is, it is just a voice, and it can't affect the governance of Gu Qixing's side.
After the discussion in the hall, Nie Luo and the two walked out with a group of treasurer officials from Jinmen, and the faces of the two old men were not very good, obviously the two of them also had a sleepless night last night, and last night should also be a sleepless night for many people in Jinmen.
"Second master, let's go to a few repair shops and warehouses in the city first, there should be some leftovers over there."
Because of the unhappiness with Li Dacheng yesterday, Nie Shicheng didn't speak, and Luo Rongguang arranged the itinerary for a while, but the arsenal and repair station in the city were ruined by Yulu, and I don't know how much there is left.
"Hmmm! Let's hurry up and try to send the guns down before lunch, Nie Junmen, teaching the use of firearms is your Wuwei Army's errand. â
"This matter is marked with responsibility!
Second master, the public opinion of this Jinmen has always been fierce, although the law of military management is beneficial to the overall situation of Jinmen, but the gentry are afraid that there will be a lot of emotion! â
Now that the big guys are in the same boat, Nie Shicheng's words are not for the sake of the gentry, but to let Li Dacheng guard against the attack of the gentry.
"Just them? After saying that, Lao Tzu let them not get out of the city of Jinmen and live and die with Jinmen!
Shinong industry and commerce, how can there be less gentry in this matter of going to the national disaster? Inform the 10,000 Zhenwei troops to blockade the vicinity of Jinmen, and the gentry and their families will not be allowed to leave the country.
Forcibly go out, and let them encounter the Boxer bandits! â
Military management is absolute power, with the Zhenwei Army and the Wuwei Army as the backing, Gui Shun and Li Dacheng's fart in Jinmen is also earth-shattering, in a word, Li Dacheng has broken the back road of many people, if you want to die or live, you have to have a guard on your mouth, otherwise you will live and die with Jinmen!
The wicked still need the wicked to grind, Nie Luo and the two glanced at each other, and they recognized Li Dacheng's statement, with the financial and material resources of Jinmen, why worry about not winning this battle? But this sycophant can't be filmed, and in front of so many treasurers, the two remained silent.
Different from the lack imagined by Li Dacheng, there are more than 10 large and small arsenals in Tianjin, such as the government office, the provincial department, the Tongzhi office, the transportation department, the capital department, the town office, the county office, the sub-county office, the left and right middle three battalions, the river camp, the city defense, the repair institute, the martial arts, etc. The medicine storehouse, the rest of the government offices or dozens or hundreds of guns, the amount of ammunition is also extremely sufficient, and they are all serious breech-loading rifles, although the style is messy, but there is no old breech gun like the one in the Jingshi Treasury.
This is still the rest of Yulu after it was distributed to the Boxers, in addition, there are seven forts outside Jinmen City, the arsenal of the Jiqi Bureau, the arsenal of the Arsenal of the Armed Forces Academy, the arsenal of the Xiaozhan Barracks, and the largest is the Xigu Arsenal, such a scale of arms is terrifying! The current rifle, no matter how big the range is, the effective range and lethal range are nothing more than one or two hundred meters, and the most important thing is within 100 meters, not to mention the breech, even the breech is quite lethal within 100 meters, if these things are all equipped, how good?
Wu Weijun is not Zhenwei Army after all, his predecessor is the elite of the Huai Army, the Huai Army is a force that is intricate and powerful, and Li Hongzhang is not dead! Once the situation in Jinmen is known to Li Zhongtang, his words are probably better than the will of the old ladies, in general, the armed guards are uncontrollable and unreliable, and the gun is still in his own hands, so he can sleep peacefully!
Doing business in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, having money is just a big wrong, and having power and money is not necessarily safe, only like Li Hongzhang, who has money, power and soldiers is safer, and family wealth is family wealth.
The arsenal in Jinmen City, Li Dacheng moved as he went, and first equipped his own ghost head knife, so as not to cause branches on the side of the armed guards, and after the right battalion in the city was assigned to the ghost head knife as a station, a considerable number of weapons and ammunition in Tianjin Gate City were renamed and surnamed.
"Second master, there are seven forts outside the city, and now five of them are in use, and the location there is critical to the defense of Jinmen City, and the Zhenwei Army still needs to tie some people there."
For the Jinmen city defense, Nie Shicheng is not the most familiar, the most familiar with the Jinmen city defense is Luo Rongguang, who has been operating in Dagu for nearly 20 years, after seeing Li Dacheng's means of scraping the ground, he is also afraid that the second master will empty the five forts outside the city, without the cover outside the city, this Jinmen city defense is a lonely city, a dead city, and it is impossible to hold it for a long time.
"Oh...... Luo Junmen, how did Dagu fall? â
Hearing the meaning of Luo Rongguang's words, Li Dacheng asked the old man a very embarrassing question.
"Ye Zuqi escaped in front, fire. The medicine depot was blown up in the back! â
Luo Rongguang is also unlucky, Ye Zuqi is gone, it is said that he can hold on for a while, but he will not die, a shell fell into the ammunition depot, and the soldiers under him can grit their teeth and endure without food, but the cannon is gone, and no one has a problem!
"Isn't that right? We don't have much else now, but there are too many people, and the five forts outside the city only leave 30% of ammunition, and the rest are transported into the military camps in the city and stored separately to prevent them from being broken by each.
Let's not go to the fort, let's go directly to Xigu! â
The armed guards or the Qing army up and down, there should be no shortage of things, but there are some problems with the storage, how the defense of the fort, Li Dacheng has not seen it and can not comment, but the arsenals in the city of Jinmen are lacking in protective measures, in addition to the city defense arsenal is also counted into the eye, the other to put it bluntly, the house is the arsenal of guns and ammunition, if the foreign devils detect the location of the arsenal, there is nothing left in a round of shelling, and the city defense of Jinmen will follow in the footsteps of Dagukou
