Chapter Eighty-Seven: Development Is the Last Word (I)

Entering Gucheng is a great opportunity for Gao Junshan to take a truce and seek development, and he did not expect to be able to come to this point. According to his original plan, relying on the strength of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, step by step, he survived in the cracks. Now that he has taken over the assets that Zhang Xianzhong has painstakingly managed for many years, he has suddenly become the boss of the rebel army, although he was appeased in Gucheng, this is just an expedient measure, the purpose is to wait for Li Zicheng to sit big and share the world with him equally, in the end, what is the end? Gao Junshan didn't think about it anymore, Zhang Xianzhong was busy for more than ten years, and finally worked for him, so what about Li Zicheng?

Throw away the illusions and seize the moment. This is what Gao Junshan reminds himself all the time.

Gao Junshan sat in Gucheng and became the de facto boss of Gucheng, and based on his experience in governing Pingliang, he set up his own independent county government agency, and several civil and military officers who hid in the snow did not appoint them to any positions, but they could participate in and guide Gucheng's affairs behind the scenes.

Because Ruan Zhitian, the magistrate of Gucheng County, did not take office, and the three of the county Cheng, the chief bookkeeper, and the dianshi also took the opportunity to take leave and return to their hometowns, and Gao Junshan controlled the entire county government alone.

Ruan Zhitian, the magistrate, is the life of Tongcheng. Zhu Youzhen issued an edict to promote talents, and Liu Ruozai, Ruan Zhitian's fellow countryman, recommended him to be the magistrate of Gucheng County, but for unknown reasons, he has not yet arrived.

Gao Junshan made Gucheng an independent kingdom, and he appointed Xu Yixian as the temporary prefect of the county, which did not do specific work, but was used to deal with the officials who came to inspect the Ming court, and Gao Junshan himself had a team to manage Gucheng.

First, Zhou Shichen and Tian Wenju were responsible for army expansion, public security and taxation;

Second, Jiang Guorong and Liu Hongru were responsible for counting the property of the county government and the receipt of the prison;

Third, Ma Yuanli, Liu Da, and Li Xin are responsible for city defense;

Fourth, Bai Wenxuan, Sun Yuanhua, and Sun Hejing were responsible for the reception and management of artillery, gunpowder, weapons, and horses in Bozhou;

Fifth, Wang Shangli, Hui Dengxiang, Wang Ziqi, and Tang Liangyi are responsible for managing the training camp and children's soldiers, and are responsible for receiving and relocating Zhang Xianzhong's old department, which has returned one after another.

Gao Junshan now has 130,000 troops, including 80,000 elite troops and 50,000 old, weak, sick and disabled.

The 80,000 elite soldiers were divided into five brigades: the Cai Zhishan Brigade was 18,000 people, and the general army was replaced by Li Busi; Cao Wenzhao's brigade was 18,000 people, and the total army was represented by Ma Jinzhong; The Heren Dragon Brigade was 18,000 people, and the total army was replaced by Zhang Hualong; Dou Fame Brigade 13,000 people; Thirteen thousand people in the Ainengqi Brigade. The remaining 50,000 old, weak, sick and disabled were divided into 20 training camps.

The management team formed this time is different from the past, every important department has Chongwen disciples, including the navy army of only 300 people, in addition to the navy governor Zhou Wenjiang and the navy supervisor Pan Duao, Gao Junshan also installed Chongwen's son Li Jiuhua into the navy management. Li Jiuhua is one of the leading figures in astronomy and navigation.

Gao Junshan is very concerned about the development of Chongwen Academy, he has never been stingy with the investment of education funds, and now the disciples of Chongwen Academy have developed to the scale of 1,000 people, and the learning atmosphere is quite strong, in line with the principle of "taking people's livelihood as the foundation of the country, and science and technology as the policy of rejuvenating the country." The school motto, study hard, and wait to contribute to the revitalization of the nation.

There is a relatively stable condition in Gucheng, and Gao Junshan specially set aside a piece of land to provide Sun Yuanhua as a research base, mainly for the casting of Hongyi cannons, the production of "swarm bees" bazooka and chariots, Hongyi cannons are city defense weapons, and "swarm bees" are field weapons.

The "swarm of bees" has been verified on the Tartars, but the consumption of gunpowder is too strong, and the gunpowder prepared by Sun Yuanhua himself must be used to have a special effect.

Gao Junshan also gave Sun Yuanhua a scientific research task, asking him to develop a portable light artillery, the range is not required, but it must be a flowering bomb, and the flowering bomb is also being developed. This artillery was mainly used in field battles and was characterized by its lightness and flexibility.

The craftsman's workshop was also a top priority for Gao Junshan, and he set up a smelting shop, a mining shop, a ship shop, a car and cannon shop, a gun shop, and a transport team in the craftsman's workshop.

At present, the Mining Institute and the Ship Institute do not have production tasks, but are engaged in scientific research, and in addition to scientific research tasks, the Vehicles and Artillery Institute also produces vehicles for carrying artillery, and the Gunsmith Institute is responsible for researching Mini guns and repairing guns damaged on the battlefield.

As the leaders of these five institutes, all of them are Chongwen's children. They are: Ma Kongjian, director of the smelting institute and the Ministry of Engineering; Lv Heju, director of the Ministry of Mining; Li Yuanli, director of the Ministry of Shipbuilding; Vehicles and artillery station, Wang Taiming, director of the Ministry of Engineering; Gunsmith, the head of the Ministry of Works.

On this day, Gao Junshan had just finished breakfast and was teasing his two youngest sons, Sanbao and Sibao, in the living room.

Gao Junshan heard that this Wang Bingzhen was a local celebrity, and he had already intended to visit, but he had only just entered Gucheng, and there were too many things for him to plan, and he couldn't get away for a while, and now Wang Bingzhen came to the door by himself, and Gao Junshan was of course happy to meet him.

As soon as Wang Bingzhen met, he arched his hand and said, "No, Wang Bingzhen visited King Qin." ”

Gao Junshan stood in the center of the living room with the two little ones in his arms, and said with a smile: "Welcome Mr. Wang to be a guest, please take a seat!" ”

Wang Bingzhen said: "Please sit down first!" ”

Gao Junshan smiled again: "Mr. Wang doesn't have to be polite, this is home, please sit down!" ”

Wang Bingzhen sat down at this time.

Ji Ya hurriedly came in and took the three and four treasures away from Gao Junshan's arms, and asked the servants to serve tea to the guests before leaving.

Wang Bingzhen was surprised: "There are still Mongolians in the house? ”

"That's a."

Wang Bingzhen suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a lady, disrespectful!" Disrespectful! Please not be polite and inconsiderate. Please also Qin Wang Haihan! ”

Gao Junshan waved his hand, picked up the teacup and said, "She is the second lady, you haven't seen it, you don't have to be so formal!" Mr. Wang, please use tea! ”

Wang Bingzhen also picked up the teacup and said: "No, I am uninvited, I take the liberty to disturb, and please don't blame King Qin!" ”

Gao Junshan is also convinced, these literati are really verbose, what are you doing here, after 1510 finished talking and left, he didn't come to the point after talking like this for a long time, Gao Junshan only asked directly: "What does Mr. Wang have to do?" ”

Wang Bingzhen said: "Since the army entered the city, everyone has lived in peace, the street scene has prospered, and singing and dancing everywhere have been peaceful. When I went to the countryside yesterday, I saw no officials urging the peasants to collect money, the peasants were comfortably plowing in the fields, and the old European women and children were laughing in their own courtyards. People say they have been looking forward to such a day for a long time. When I saw such a sight, I was not happy, but full of worry. ”

Gao Junshan asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

Wang Bingzhen replied: "That's because King Qin, you are a master of governing the world, and today Gucheng is under your governance, so there is such a scene, and what I am worried about is that the rights of King Qin will not be lost tomorrow." ”

Gao Junshan said: "I understand what Mr. Wang meant. So in your opinion, what is the best solution? ”
