From today onwards, our land will be under the control of our Liaodong Theater and will be managed by a system that integrates the military and the government in the face of war. ”

"Shang Kexi will serve as the commander of the first division of the Liaodong Theater, and the number of troops under his command will be about 30,000."

"Xiao Xiurong will serve as the commander of the Second Division of the Liaodong Theater, and the number of troops under his command will be about 30,000."

"Geng Zhongming will ......"

After a long and arduous war, Liaodong ushered in a short period of peace, taking advantage of this short period of peace, Hongmen is stepping up the development of time layout, and strive to have a good start in the year of Chongzhen 20 years.

A large number of people who had been invaded several times into the territory of the Qing Dynasty had now become a valuable asset for Hongmen to develop Liaodong, and coupled with the unremitting recruitment efforts of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, the more than 100,000 square miles of land occupied by the Hongtang military headquarters in the southern coastal area once again gained some popularity.

Of course, the contribution of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is indispensable, as the only territory that has been opened to mining power by Hongmen, the mining farms, smelters, coal quarries, etc. established in Anshan, whether it is supporting facilities or labor needs, have made the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, which has a part in the iron ore and coal mining businessmen, pay a huge price to develop all kinds of facilities in this area of Anshan.

After experiencing the convenience brought by the cobwebbed general road infrastructure project on Dayuan Island, the shrewd businessmen of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce finally understood that the output is proportional to the input.

Not only can the construction resources be transported to Anshan faster, and the products produced in the future can also be transported to the sea faster to create its equal value, but also the construction of basic roads can allow Hongtang Military Headquarters and other support to reach the places needed faster, consolidating Hongmen's territory in Liaodong, which is a big problem that everyone cannot ignore.

This was followed by the expansion of the Anshan mine and the construction and development of various supporting facilities for iron ore production.

Some people ask, why are the merchants of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce so keen on iron ore mining?

The reason for this is simple and straightforward, as they all see a strong demand for iron ore resources in the future.

Hongmen is no longer as vigilant as it was before against the group of allies around him who gradually moved to Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands, no, it should be said that they are members of subordinate commercial organizations, at least many of the patented inventions that they used to hide in every possible way can be sold to each other, so that they can participate and get a piece of the pie.

Not to mention, the muskets, artillery and other controlled products that have been promoted in the Hongmen headquarters are all the trend of future development; There are also new things that require high-demand steel, such as ships and trains, which are not good things that can change the current world!

The businessmen of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce are shrewd and have already discovered the business opportunities, but products such as iron and steel are resources strictly controlled by the government in the Ming Dynasty, and it is almost impossible to participate in the production of iron ore in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when Hongmen opened the iron ore mining rights of Liaodong to the merchants of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce with a bargaining chip to support the Liaodong war, the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce who were tempted by it actively operated to support the Northeast Battlefield and helped Hongmen win this crucial battle.

When the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce made great contributions to the war in Northeast China and paid a lot, as businessmen, they naturally urgently need to recover the capital they paid.

When the war is now over, judging from the situation in the northeast, the stalemate between the Great Qing Aixinjue Luo clan and the Yeheyi Tong tribe has fallen into a stalemate, which means that Hongmen has basically gained a foothold in the land of Liaodong.

If you want to recover the cost, then the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has to speed up the progress of the investment in Anshan, so that it can produce steel resources faster and bring a steady stream of money to everyone.

In order to save money and time, Hongmen brought the technology of open-hearth steelmaking to the Northeast for the first time, after all, the Anshan area in the Northeast not only has rich iron resources, but also has rich coal resources around, so there is no need to mine, smelt and cast in two places like Shilu Mine, and the cost is reduced too much.

"In addition to infrastructure construction, we have a more important task, which is to build a production base here."

Wu Jie looked at the high-level officials of Hongtang and the administrative staff who were sent to do civil affairs work, and disclosed to them the important work that they all needed to do next.

"The headquarters has decided that a new military industrial enterprise such as the Gun Manufacturing Bureau and the Ordnance Administration will be built in the Northeast, and if the Anshan iron ore mining volume is large, it will even build a new shipyard along the coast of Phoenix City to specialize in manufacturing ships to supply our Hongtang fleet."

"I don't need to tell you what it means to be such a heavy burden, right?"

"The technology that many people dream of will settle in my Liaodong Theater, which means that there will be countless pairs of peeping eyes and outstretched tentacles to test us, and we need to ensure the absolute confidentiality of these important technologies and processes!"

"Therefore, from today onwards, after everyone goes back, we must screen out loyal soldiers and manpower from among the members of the team who are trustworthy and will not be bought, and prepare for the upcoming construction of the factory!"

"Is there any faith!!"

Wu Jie suddenly stood up and shouted at the table in front of him, questioning the surrounding members.

"There is !!"

The categorical reply did not seem to satisfy Wu Jie, and he asked loudly again: "Do you have confidence??" ”

"Yes!!"

The momentum of the voice was a little more high-pitched, and it came out of everyone's mouths again, which made Wu Jie smile with satisfaction.

"Very good, let's go down and prepare!"

After everyone dispersed, Wu Jie showed a little tiredness, as an old man who was about to be fifty years old, Wu Jie's energy was not as good as before, and even because of the hard battles such as holding the city in the northeast several times, he had overdrawn a lot of vitality, and Wu Jie always involuntarily showed various signs of aging.

However, physical factors could not stop Wu Jie himself from being determined to build Liaodong at this moment. From the militant who only wanted to take the lead and fight in the front, to the heroic man who calmly controls tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people, Wu Jie and the others have a wonderful mental journey, and at the same time, he is also excited by the hideous corners condensed and revealed by Hongmen's torch.

Once upon a time, the team of only a few ships and two hundred teenagers became a behemoth that people admired and awe.

Even Li Tianyang's words of encouragement, who used to think that it was just a brother's dream, now seem to be not hopeless, realized in the hands of Wu Jie and his brothers.
