When I woke up in the morning, I opened my eyes and looked at the bed curtain, and the first thing I felt was that the kang was a little crowded.

The girl who warms the bed in the fire pit and ......

No, it should be the queen and concubine who warms the bed, and this heat is definitely more than the fire pit, and it is not comparable to the heating and air conditioning of the 21st century.

Looking at the jade figures on the left and right, Zhu Guoqiang had a smile on his face that only a man can understand.

After drinking a few catties of rice wine at Zhang Jiuchu's last night, he returned to this house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw more than a dozen women kneeling to welcome him home.

By getting drunk, it was Qiqige, Bumu Butai, Hailanzhu, no, it should be Yuniang, Da Yuer, and Xiao Yuer, so they naturally turned over their brands, this night is countless absurdity, endless taste.

However, a thousand absurdities still have to get up after all.

……

After all, it's more important to get down to business!

In the next period of time, Zhu Guoqiang was a little busy and couldn't touch the ground, after all, he had to consider the resettlement of more than 100,000 families and hundreds of thousands of people.

The hundreds of thousands of refugees rescued all the way from Shenyang need housing, the officers and soldiers in the army need housing, the families of generals and officials need to be resettled, and even the merchants need commercial ports......

In short, there are endless things to do.

To solve the housing problem, fired clay bricks are a necessary premise, although several brick-burning kilns have been built on this side of Qingniwa, but Zhu Guoqiang thinks that the production efficiency of the kiln is too low, so he started to build a 16-hole wheel kiln. In another world it is already very backward, but in this world it is definitely an advanced industrial production equipment.

Because in Jinan burned refractory bricks, soil cement, under the command of the workers who came with the ship, refractory bricks, soil cement were quickly made here, with refractory bricks and cement, according to the drawings to build a wheel kiln, in the hands of the mason is naturally a piece of cake, but only a few days of work, the towering chimney of the wheel kiln spewed thick black smoke into the air.

In fact, it was Zhu Guoqiang, and he didn't expect that the wheel kiln would be the first industrial enterprise in Qingniwa, even a few days earlier than even becoming a coal mine in Dongjiagou. In fact, it was not a few days earlier, because the buried layer of Dongjiagou Coal Mine was not deep, and the soil method used by the workers to excavate, but it was only half a month, and the first car of coal was dug out.

The mining of coal mine not only solved the problem of fuel for hundreds of thousands of people in Lushun to eat and heat, but also allowed several wheel kilns that had been built successively to produce at full capacity.

It was built so quickly, and in the final analysis, it was probably because of manpower - there are hundreds of thousands of people here, and there is enough labor! If it weren't for the limited production of bricks, I am afraid that more houses would have been built.

However, even so, the green mud puddle, no, it should be said to be "Dalian" - according to the habits of later generations, Zhu Guoqiang named this bay Dalian Bay, this city without city walls, naturally became Dalian, it became a city at a speed visible to the inner eye. However, Zhang Jiuchu and the shogunate's staff were responsible for all this, and for Zhu Guoqiang, there were more important things to deal with.

In the turbulent times, military power is the most important, and the most urgent task at the moment is to reorganize the troops and complete the reorganization of the troops. Through reorganization, military power was firmly grasped.

"How many soldiers do we have now?"

Liu Hanyi replied:

"Shiziye, now in Dalian, in addition to more than 56,000 people in the three battalions of Huang Degong, Mou Wenshou, and Yang Yufan, there are also more than 130,000 strong men originally recruited from among the refugees to defend Dalian, plus the original 23,000 men and horses under the command of Shiziye, and more than 12,000 on the Peacock Banner, at present, there are a total of 230,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Shiziye."

Two hundred and thirty thousand!

That's a lot!

Even when the Manchus were at their strongest, there were not so many soldiers and horses, but what was the use? A large number of people does not necessarily mean that the fighting power is strong.

Moreover, 130,000 of these people were improvised strong men. Even Huang Degong and his army also have a lot of old and weak soldiers, these soldiers who are usually just used to strengthen their strength also need to be eliminated, and their existence is a waste of military pay to a large extent.

"Soldiers are not expensive, and more will only waste food."

Shaking his head, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"Next, we must eliminate the weak and retain the strong, maintain 100,000 in the army, and ...... in the navy"

Zhu Guoqiang, who was bent on turning the "Peacock Flag" into a navy, thought about it, and then said.

"Just keep 15,000 people!"

The reason why it is necessary to keep such a large navy. It is because of Dalian's special geographical environment, if you want to gain a foothold here, you must have a strong maritime force, whether it is for trade or for survival, you need a navy, and of course, there is also overseas expansion in the future.

Especially considering the special environment of the Ming Dynasty at present, Zhu Guoqiang is eager to build a large fleet with thousands of warships or armed merchant ships now, and then send a steady stream of refugees to Southeast Asia and Taiwan.

It's not for any overseas colonization, but to save lives, not only to save the lives of the people, but also to save the lives of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in order to achieve this goal, we must first turn the "Peacock Flag" into our own strength, and this reorganization is the first step.

"Lord Shizi, how are these laid off people settled?"

Of course Liu Hanyi knows this truth, but he always has to think about how to place them.

"It can be distributed to the fields, there are many craftsmen among them, they can be recruited, we want to set up a factory nearby, they can also build ordnance for the army, and trade also needs to produce all kinds of products, in the future Dalian wants to survive, trade is the first priority!"

Zhu Guoqiang has a very clear understanding of this, before returning from Nanzhili, he deliberately left some people in Nanjing and Yangzhou, they are not only eyeliner, but also some businessmen, in the future they will be responsible for the goods produced in Dalian, of course, as well as the "rare goods" he brought from the other side to Jiangnan, after all, now there is still Jiangnan with spending power. Industry and commerce will be the foundation of Dalian's survival in the future.

Yes, this still requires sea power!

Fortunately, I still have such a large scale of sea power in my hands now, so let's come step by step.

"Lord Shizi, this reorganization of the army is important, but no matter how it is changed, always talk to Huang, Yang, and Mu generals, after all."

Looking at the prince, Liu Hanyi said in a low voice:

"Many people often regard the team in their hands as a private army, if they don't appease it in advance, they are afraid that the army will be disheartened, and it may even cause chaos."

Private Army!

Fortunately, it is now the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and fortunately, Huang Degong, Mu Wenshou, and Yang Yufan have not yet become warlords, and now they have at most such a tendency, but how can they hide their careful thoughts?

Just like their respective families, those families are the backbone of the army, and they are also the capital for them to become warlords.

Using the money of the imperial court to support their own soldiers, this is the biggest feature of the late Ming Dynasty, is it possible that such troops will not become warlords?

Nodding, Zhu Guoqiang smiled.

"I know, strike while the iron is hot! The three of them, including Li Ying, have just defected to me, and they want to make meritorious contributions, isn't this a God-given opportunity to reorganize them? And the current timing is also favorable, although our defense line has moved forward for a hundred miles, but in the short term, Jiannu's side will not be able to free up his hand to attack Dalian, let's seize the time to sort out the team, their work over there I will say, Huang, Mou, Yang The three general soldiers are all national cadres, and they will definitely not be excluded. ”

It is true that they are loyal, but the important thing is that now the prestige of themselves and the court can make them obediently obey, and they will not give birth to any chaos, even Wu Sangui is also loyal to the court now.

Now is the right time to reorganize.

Nodding, Liu Hanyi said.

"What the prince said is the same, but I don't know if the prince is preparing a law?"

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"It's simple, it's for the soldiers to be weak and stay strong! As for the officials......"

took out a document casually, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"It is okay to be rich and prosperous!"
