The shelling had not stopped, and then a phalanx of infantry of the Forces nouvelles set out, marching to the beat of drums and accompanied by the march of the grenadiers, and began to advance with artillery fire on their backs.

Coordination of infantry and artillery is what Zhu Youzhen has always emphasized: In a modernized army, artillery and infantry are the main arms of the army, and only when they are properly coordinated can they exert greater combat effectiveness.

On the defensive, artillery can be used as long-range fire to disperse enemy attacks in formation, and when attacking, artillery can also cooperate with infantry for fire cover and fire extension.

Therefore, training and coordinating with infantry and artillery is the basic work of the new army.

Braving the artillery fire overhead, the infantry phalanx of the new army slowly marched to a distance of 300 meters, and then the drumbeat changed, and the marching infantry began to raise their guns to shoot, and when they finished shooting, they stood and reloaded, and let the infantry in the next few rows move forward.

When the last row of soldiers has finished firing, the first row of soldiers turns to the front and shoots.

Looking at the dazzling queue rotation, listening to the rumbling artillery fire that did not stop at all, all the vassal kings on the colonel's field were already dumbfounded, among them, the two-hundred-pound fat man Fu Wang, his face was almost bloodless.

Until the artillery fire stopped and the foot drill was over, the vassal kings were still staring motionlessly at the imaginary enemy whose school field had been destroyed.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen smiled and didn't speak, waiting for these people to react.

After another half of the ring, when the dust and smoke on the school field were all gone, the king of Liao came forward to worship.

"Your Majesty has such a strong army, so there is nothing to worry about."

As he spoke, the tears of the King of Liao fell, and he was talking about waiting for the king to take back the Liao land, and by the way, he began to accuse the Jurchens of all kinds of crimes committed in Liaodong.

Seeing that the theme was a little off track and the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Zhu Youzhen stepped forward to help King Liao.

"I believe Uncle Wang won't be made to wait too long."

Later, all the vassal kings who reacted stepped forward and began to praise and express their expressions, expressing their feelings of honor and glory after a generation of heroes in the Ming Dynasty.

After wielding the stick, Zhu Youzhen served carrots to the vassal kings.

Because the headquarters building of Xishan Group has not yet been completed, the first general meeting of shareholders of Xishan Group was held in the Xishan canteen.

Originally, Zhu Youzhen wanted to continue to hold a shareholders' meeting in the Forbidden City like the first time, but later he decided to put it in Xishan for fear of causing the actions of the courtiers.

Under the key care of Jinyiwei and the sentry system of the new army, few outsiders enter Xishan, and confidentiality and security are absolutely guaranteed.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhu Youzhen ordered someone to start an important part of the shareholders' meeting, dividends.

With the successive production of various factories in Xishan, in general, the output value of this year has definitely quadrupled, but because Zhu Youzhen invested most of the profits in army construction and expanding reproduction, the remaining profits are actually not much.

Twenty percent of the investment amount of each feudal lord is the amount of the dividend this time.

Because Xishan Group does not disclose its finances, these vassal kings probably do not dare to let Zhu Youzhen disclose their finances, so it is up to Zhu Youzhen to decide how much or less.

In the organizational structure designed by Zhu Youzhen, Xishan Group is a holding group with woolen mills, glass factories and soap factories, mainly involved in light industrial products.

In addition, the New Army, the North Sea Fleet, steel works, ordnance factories, farms and other key departments were directly subordinate to the Generalissimo's Office.

The Xishan Group also belongs to the Generalissimo's Office, so taking money from the Xishan Group to subsidize the development of other industries is also said in the past in the company system that Zhu Youzhen is familiar with.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen will not discuss this complex organizational structure with the small shareholders of the vassal kings, anyway, Zhu Youzhen holds 51% of the shares, which is an absolute controlling company, and it is useless for others to have opinions.

Therefore, judging from the actual profits of the factories of the Xishan Group, the 20% dividend is definitely a loss for these vassal kings, and the glass produced by the glass factory is a single item, and the net profit per month is not less than 100,000 taels.

Previously, the vassal kings subscribed for 1.88 million taels of silver for the first time, so they should have paid dividends of 370,000 and 6,000 taels, and the profit of the glass factory for three months was basically enough.

"Because of the rebellion last year, the shareholders' meeting was not held on time, so this dividend is 20% of the amount of your shares."

Zhu Youzhen said, and a big red envelope full of silver tickets was distributed.

Although the feudal kings of various regions had been informed that dividends would be paid this time before entering Beijing, no one took it seriously.

'I took the money from the emperor's old son, and thought I was the emperor's son.' ’

Most of the vassal kings around the country have been passed down for several generations or even more than ten generations, and the relationship with the royal family has long been out of the five suits, and they still want to wait for a reward when their father was the emperor in the past, no matter how stupid the vassal king is, he doesn't dare to think so.

When the vassal kings first heard about the dividends, they thought that the Son of Heaven was casually talking, so that the promise made when he asked for silver before would be fulfilled, and even if he gave it, it was estimated that it would not be bad to have a few hundred gold.

So when I heard the Son of Heaven say that the stock was two percent, they looked at each other one by one, and their eyes were full of expressions of mutual inquiry, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

has a fast brain, doesn't care about the loss of etiquette in front of the palace, secretly opens the red envelope under the table, and then begins to rub the face of the silver ticket with his hand, thinking about how many taels it is.

"Uncle Gui, don't guess on that finger, just open it and see."

Zhu Youzhen, who was on the high platform, naturally saw the expressions and movements of the vassal kings below clearly, and saw that King Gui was a little embarrassed where he was rubbing the silver ticket, and he still had a respectful expression on his face, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Take it all apart and see if it's right, and when you walk back to the fiefdom, if you say it's wrong, I won't admit it."

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was not angry, and was still in the mood to joke, everyone was relieved and began to open the red envelope in a bright light.

It doesn't matter if you look at this, all of them are silver tickets of more than 1,000 taels, because the King of Liao, who had the least shares before, also has 10,000 taels of shares, so his red envelope is a silver ticket of 2,000 taels.

The vassal kings in Jiangnan, Huguang, Shandong, Fujian and other places basically start at 50,000 taels, so the red envelopes are all big silver tickets of more than 10,000 taels.

In particular, King Fu, in order to show his loyalty, subscribed for 150,000 taels in one go, and this time he received a large silver ticket of 30,000 taels, and the king of Shu and the king of Jin also had 20,000 taels.

After receiving the silver ticket, the expressions of the vassal kings immediately changed, although they were respectful before, but they were different from now, and now their expressions are from the bottom of their hearts with joy and admiration.

So, one by one, they all left the seat, and they were excited to kneel down with Zhu Youzhen to thank him.
