Chapter 525: Plotting
"Defend your homeland and take away the invaders!"
"We don't do anything thief, we don't rely on handouts, we don't play any conspiracy! Don't beg anyone! ”
"Defeat it with dignity! Let all the people in the world stand up and be upright! ”
"Rely on me, rely on you, rely on the people of the whole world!"
"Puff up your chests!"
"Clench your fists!"
Wang Lanling mobilized before the war, and he wanted to tell everyone that they were not anti-thieves, nor were they some rebellious thieves.
They do what is right, what everyone should do!
The people who came out to beat them were those who stood outside the pit and still had torches in the fire pit, and the benevolence and morality on the lips of those people were nothing more than hypocrites who burned their bodies and spirits so that they could continue to live a life that was worse than that of pigs and dogs!
Everyone fights for themselves, to protect those like-minded companions behind them, as well as their wives and children!
There was no reason to retreat, so Wang Lanling mobilized 2,000 people to go to Linshan County to set up defenses, and stabilized the situation in the rear.
Once the opponent's army arrives, Wang Lanling will definitely rush to the front-line battlefield to boost morale.
Wang Lanling returned home and began to think about what was next.
The cotton from Xieshan County has already been delivered, and because of the rebellion, business will be more difficult next year.
In addition, since the suppression of bandits, Wang Lanling has been buying saltpeter sulfur and other materials from all over the world, and his output is limited, and many weapons and equipment are purchased from the outside world.
These materials will definitely be embargoed, and Wang Lanling will only be able to accumulate these materials from his own territory in the future.
Although some materials can be collected from Shanhai County alone, if you want to fight against the imperial court, you need at least a few hundred tons of ammunition every year to stabilize.
Wang Lanling knew that the empire's use of firearms was very inferior.
Since the first emperor, the empire's use of firearms has been a deterrent, because the process of fighting from Longzhou has always been smooth.
Even if you encounter someone who is difficult to beat occasionally, as long as you let your subordinates do it, you can use a firearm to blow it up when you lose both sides, and it will naturally be no problem.
Because he has not really experienced the baptism of guns, he has not encountered an evenly matched enemy, and he thinks that he has unlimited soldiers, so the use of guns is very low.
Wang Lanling knows very well that only when things like artillery bombs are fired out without money can the world realize the real horror!
But now I don't have enough ammunition on my side, at most I can fight once, and I will be consumed after three or four hours of bombing.
Once the window paper is pierced, the empire suddenly realizes that it can still play like this, then with the current background of the empire, it will soon be able to mobilize millions of catties of ammunition to bomb Wang Lanling's side.
At present, Wang Lanling only has 300,000 catties of gunpowder and 4 million rounds of bullets, and although the military factory has been open for more than a year, the current annual output is 2 million, and the rest are bought by buying.
If the outside gunpowder is out of stock, then the mining and road construction will be delayed, and the number of bullets will drop significantly.
At present, it is only the characteristics of the feudal dynasty, and it is believed that it is still necessary to advance with knives and guns, and once people have the concept of artillery washing the ground, Wang Lanling has no chance of winning at all.
While they were thinking about things, Leia and Zhao Wenrou walked in.
Lei A said cautiously: "Master, do you really want to go against the imperial court?" ”
Wang Lanling looked at Lei A and Zhao Wenrou, "Yes, it's not Rengui's problem, I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I've thought about the consequences of failure, but I still have to do it, and I will suffer with you." ”
After determining that Wang Lanling really wanted to fight against the court, Lei A said seriously: "If it weren't for you, master, I'm afraid that life would be better than death now, master, you did the right thing!" ”
Although Zhao Wenrou was also a little scared, she said at this time: "Husband, don't worry, since I am the daughter-in-law of the Wang family now, I will definitely live and die with my husband, just a few ......children."
Wang Lanling said directly: "Don't think too much about things, this is not a matter of losing, what kind of weather is it outside at the moment, you all know better, and you know better what kind of person I am, it is not so easy to want my life." ”
Wang Lanling stood up, "It's okay to take good care of the family, I'm busy with outside affairs for a while, you can take care of some of the things at home, and tell me if you have anything." ”
"Yes!" The two quickly agreed.
In any case, what Wang Lanling did was a bit shocking.
The people of Shanhai County were not cornered, except for a few pioneers, most of them did not directly feel the abuse from the imperial court.
Wang Lanling is also a good official, so most people are actually doing quite well.
rebelled in peacetime, and still took most of them to be fed and clothed, life is getting better and better, and the vast majority of people who have just started a family and have wives and children, and have expectations for the future rebelled together.
If it were someone else, I was afraid that it would be said by those nuns, priests, monks, and Taoists that it was an evil demon entering the body.
However, this is Wang Lanling!
The four cow ghosts and snake gods dare to point at Wang Lanling and say no, then they will die!!
Others can't confuse most of the people in Shanhai County, at most, a few old women and broken daughters-in-law, these people will be repaired by the laborers of the production team before the news spreads!
Wang Lanling's prestige among the masses has been accumulated through labor and policy, and it is not comparable to these intellectuals who have not been here for a few days.
As long as a normal person is told a bad word by someone else and creates a rumor, even if he is innocent, the person who hears it will believe it.
Wang Lanling can't do it here, whoever dares to say a bad word is not knowing what to do, or being bewitched by a cult!
Because of the war, Wang Lanling couldn't sleep at all, and began to plan the new area on the map.
"We must establish a new military factory as soon as possible, a new military nitrate factory, the traditional way of making nitrate is too backward, and our technology must also be kept secret, so that outsiders can not know the production technology here, and the new area is in ...... Over there in Savage Town! ”
At present, Wang Lanling is even more afraid that the empire will steal the advanced technology and tactics from his side.
In addition to building a new military industrial area, Wang Lanling also thought about how to include the county seat in Shanhai County.
There are a total of four million people in the entire Shanhai County, and the real number may be more or less, but the difference is not too big.
With these four million people, Wang Lanling can really be regarded as a foothold.
And then there's ......
"Whale Island ......"
Wang Lanling thought about the giant whale island where the county guard was located, this island had a lot of soldiers and equipment, and it was also an island, which could be turned into a port.
Once Shanhai County is truly mastered, then it can directly take Yanshan, Tianmu, and threaten the state pastor's mansion.
