Chapter 116 Coal Mine (Ask for Recommendation Votes and Collect)

There were also a lot of prisoners in these battles, and the total number of prisoners exceeded the strength of the militia group, so it had to be properly arranged.

By the end of the war, 3,621 Tartars had been taken prisoner, of whom more than 1,300 had been wounded. 1,207 of the original Ming soldiers were captured and more than 300 were wounded. The prisoners of the battle in Changping were handed over to the officers and soldiers, so they were not counted. Li Zixiong reported to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue asked, "Have all these wounded been sent to Lao Tian?" ”

"Yes!" Li Zixiong smiled and said: "Tian Debao is complaining, saying that there are only dozens of them, and they can't be busy at all, and they are dying every day these days." ”

Wang Yue thought for a while and said: "The wounded of the Ming army, let him use snacks, after all, we are all the people of the Ming Dynasty." As for the Tartar wounded, let him let go of his hands and feet to practice! They were all damned, and they could have been saved, even if it was their luck. ”

These wounded people were the specimens that Wang Yue gave to these beginners in modern medicine to allow them to brush up on their experience points.

The starting point city hospital is also under construction, with a five-storey building layout according to the layout of a modern county-level hospital. However, the equipment and instruments are complete, and they can basically reach the top three standards.

The hospital is expected to be completed in early November, so now we can only make do with it in the prefabricated house. Although the equipment, instruments and medicines are available, the level of the former Daming Lang Middle School is not even up to the interns who have just left school, and the ultra-high mortality rate is unavoidable.

Li Zixiong frowned and said, "How can so many prisoners be placed?" ”

Wang Yue said: "In this way, we will leave two thousand Tartars and eight hundred Ming army prisoners." Only the young and strong ones were left, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled captives were all sent to the imperial court, and they would come over in a few days. ”

Li Zixiong asked: "It's easy to say that the Tartar captives have military status, and many of the captured Ming soldiers have military status. If the court knows about it, it may ask. ”

Wang Yue said with a smile: "They have done a surrender, so no one should pay attention to them." ”

Soldiers who surrendered according to the military law of the Ming Dynasty were caught and beheaded. However, the practice of the Ming Dynasty was very chaotic, killing the head if the number was small, and appeasement when the number was large, that is to say, there were many workarounds.

He continued: "We need people in many places now, so let these captives be coolies. Tartars are sentenced to life imprisonment, let them do it for the rest of their lives, and it is merciful enough that we do not kill them. The Ming army treated them differently and punished them with five years of hard labor and a monthly salary of one tael. These Ming troops have performed well after five years, and those who want to join the starting point city are welcome! ”

Li Zixiong said with a smile: "The monthly salary of these two is higher than their military salary." Some say that there is one or two five dollars a month, but there are no five dollars actually sent to hand. ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "The salary of the Liaodong Army is the highest among the officers and soldiers, about three to four taels. We gave the Ming prisoners a salary or two, which could not only stabilize their hearts, but also cultivate their sense of superiority among the captives. Thus let the Ming prisoners manage the Tartar prisoners, so that we can take care of them with a small number of troops. ”

Li Zixiong suddenly said: "This is indeed a good way, I am still worried about taking care of these prisoners." ”

"Let them all go to Shijingshan Industrial Zone to make bricks, and they will use a lot of bricks immediately, and these people will come in handy."

The bricks used in the starting point city recently have begun to use hydraulic brick-making machine bricks. Stone powder, sand, stones, cement, etc. are used as raw materials, water is added and stirred, and cement bricks, hollow blocks or colored pavement bricks are pressed by high pressure by brick-making machinery.

This kind of equipment is what we call a burning-free brick machine, that is to say, the cement bricks or hollow blocks produced do not need to be sintered, and they can be shipped through a short period of drying.

However, this work is polluting and hard, and it is just right for the captives to do. The cement plant that will be built soon will also use prisoners as the main force. 2,800 captives and brick-making masters, more than 3,000 people can operate more than 400 brick-making machines, and the daily output can reach a minimum of 1 million bricks.

The amount of cement used in the starting point city is very large, but fortunately, the scale of the capital and Shencheng in later generations is huge, and the construction sites are everywhere, so it is not difficult to piece together the building materials of the scale of the starting point city.

He discovered a strange phenomenon, no matter where he came back to the afterlife, he was always at the gate of the original community. Teleporting from the vicinity of the community is in the original place of the starting point city, and if it is teleported from a place other than the vicinity of the community, it will reach the corresponding coordinates of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the first time because of ignorance, from the modern era planted in the rice fields of Songjiang County in the Ming Dynasty. But that's fine, the province of himself from the Ming Dynasty casually back to the modern era, accidentally hit a high-rise building, the Ming Dynasty did not have GPS.

Wang Yue found the cement and bricks of the whole vehicle in Hyundai and sent them over. Fortunately, with the help of a large number of drivers trained by Wang Pengyuan, such a huge task can be completed. This has caused the starting point city to be a bit overcrowded, and the various types of large trucks in the parking lot are close to 10,000.

Although the car was repaired in the province of failure, it was directly towed to the stacking site, and the accessories could be dismantled in the future to let people learn to repair, but the burden of the starting point city was still not light.

Fortunately, the war is over, and most of the vehicles are moving to Shijingshan, which is just to alleviate the problem of insufficient space in the starting city.

Wang Yue conveys the largest amount of bricks and cement, bricks are about to be able to be completely self-produced, and the production of cement is on the agenda.

Cement is made of limestone, clay, iron ore powder and mixed into raw meal in proportion. Then calcination is carried out, the general temperature is about 1450 degrees, and the product after calcination is called clinker. The clinker and gypsum are then ground together and mixed in proportion to ordinary Portland cement.

Limestone and clay can be obtained locally in Shijingshan, and iron ore is not in high demand, and Miyun will soon be able to provide it. Then the most demanded is coal, especially in winter, the coal used for heating is not a small number.

The coal used by the people of Beijing is produced in Mentougou, which is located in Wanping County, where there are government and private coal kilns. But the output is simply impossible to meet Wang Yue's needs, after all, he is playing in a big industry, so he still has to do coal mining himself.

In the later generations, the Mentougou Hongshuiyu area was only mined in the Republic of China, and in the new century, some people privately adopted the open-pit mining method, and the annual output reached one million tons, which was still the output obtained in a sneaky situation.

Open-pit mining only requires blasting, stripping the mountain, crushing the coal seam, and digging and loading, so it is just right for Wang Yue. He handed over the map of the location of the flood valley marked with a modern map to the reconnaissance company and asked them to get a feel for the local situation.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the government had relaxed its grip on mining. Especially when the Chongzhen Dynasty withdrew a large number of mine supervisors, Wang Yue's mining move would not be hindered, and he was not afraid of obstruction.
