Chapter Seventy-Five: Pinch Your Fingers

In the early morning of the next day, the Fushan Army began to load the ship with all its members, and bags of gold and silver materials were packed and numbered on the ship. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wang Rui, who came from later generations, was very good at organizing such large-scale activities, and every link and detail was supervised and managed by people with different systems. Wang Rui regarded every time he went to sea to fight, as a rehearsal and training for crossing the sea and fighting in Manchu.

In addition to the military gains of combat experience and soldiers' bloodshed, the captured materials also made everyone excited.

The total value of gold and silver alone is roughly estimated to be more than half a million silver. There are also more than 200,000 catties of copper that Wang Rui needs most, more than 5,000 quintals of grain, and more than 20,000 catties of fine Liuhuang. Silk, cloth and other items are even more numerous.

After returning from this trip, Wang Rui can finally take a breath in terms of funds. In addition to these windfalls, spinning mills and cotton mills can also start shipping and selling for money.

After these more than ten factories enter normal operation, Wang Rui can announce that the era of primary industry led by himself has officially arrived!

If there is no external force to break it, the future of the Fushan Army will be infinitely bright. However, looking at the territory of Shandong, there is no army that has the strength to fight the Fushan army.

However, Wang Rui, who foresaw the direction of history, still had a deep sense of unease, after all, the final result of the Ming Dynasty was: it collapsed in the internal friction of the thief Jiannu and the Ming court.

Based on this untold worry, Wang Rui has now become a "promotion fan", and he needs to improve his official position in the Ming system so that he can expand his army and strength in an open and honest manner to cope with the earth-shattering changes that are coming.

"Second brother, can you promote a Laizhou guerrilla this time?" Wang Rui asked Pan Xuezhong with a smile.

"Haha! What's not to do? Not to mention the 500 Japanese heads on the ship, we can buy them for tens of thousands of silver! Pan Xuezhong said confidently.

"Oh!" Wang Rui smiled embarrassedly, he really didn't know enough about the things of Daming's era. Think about it, too, the end of a dynasty is rotten to the root from top to bottom. Buy a guerrilla, it's a fart!

Wu Sangui and Liu Zeqing may have been able to garrison guerrillas before the age of twenty. However, Wang Rui could not remember these historical details.

From this moment on, he decided to integrate more strongly into the era of the Ming Dynasty. Now that I have a huge amount of gold and silver coming in every month, and I have nearly 10,000 strong soldiers in my hands, what else can I not do?

"Second brother, third brother, you are finally back! Something is wrong! Although Ma Ju was very happy to see the large bags of gold and silver materials brought down from the ship, he still wanted to immediately tell Wang Rui about the recent incident in advance.

"Big brother, don't be too busy talking about it, let me guess!" Wang Rui decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to pretend to be forced to show his ability to be an unpredictable prophet.

Pan Xuezhong and the officers who followed Wang Rui, as well as the people who came to greet him, all widened their eyes, waiting for Wang Rui to say what he had guessed.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him curiously, Wang Rui raised his right hand elegantly, and several fingers kept clicking on each other, pretending to be ghostly and making a mysterious gesture of pinching his fingers.

After a long time, he smiled and asked slowly, "Is it the new emperor who has ascended the throne?" I have just prepared a congratulatory gift for His Majesty. ”

"Ah," Ma Ju and Chen Ming, Xu Fu and the others behind him were all taken aback. Because they had just received the news from the palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao died, and the king of letters, Zhu Youzhen, ascended the throne as the emperor.

But how did Wang Rui know? More than half a month ago, he went to sea with the army. Moreover, except for an office in Dengzhou, the Fushan Army has no other sources.

"Big brother, is that really the case?" After Pan Xuezhong and the others looked left and right, they asked Ma Ju with doubts on their faces.

"Yes! That's right. Therefore, I am afraid that something will happen, so I am anxious to hope that you will come back safely soon. Ma Ju didn't have the heart to pretend to be a ghost, and told the truth directly.

"Third brother, how do you know?" Pan Xuezhong stayed with Wang Rui almost all the time when he went to sea this time, and he was sure that no one had sent Wang Rui any news on land during this period. So, he asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"Haha! Don't leak it! Wang Rui laughed, and then said: "When I was in Kunlun Mountain, my ancestor once taught a certain ghost valley technique, but it was just a matter of pinching my fingers. ”

Everyone has seen a lot of Wang Rui's magical abilities, and they all believe in their hearts that Wang Rui really has these unpredictable abilities. As a result, the people became more and more respectful and trusting of him.

Ma Ju even used his own family to corroborate: "My father has a saying: Although my Mo family and the Guigu family flourished together in the early Qin of the Warring States Period, there are few descendants of the Guigu family in later generations. I never thought that the third brother would be able to learn the true legend of Guiguzi! It's a blessing for thousands of people! ”

In the current Fushan Juvenile Guard Camp, there are almost more than 1,000 teenagers who can read and count. The seeds of civilization are slowly germinating, and although they have not grown into towering trees, they can easily complete the counting of materials and accounting for accounts by a young man like Hadron who is excellent at learning, commanding the working group.

After putting the seized gold and silver materials into the warehouse, Wang Rui immediately asked Pan Xuezhong to bring 500 Japanese heads and 30,000 taels worth of gold, silver and jewelry, and go to Dengzhou again to seek promotion for himself.

Because there were many soldiers killed and wounded this time, six were killed in the battle, and the number of minor and serious wounded reached 14. Feeling the low status of the warriors in the late Ming Dynasty, after many soldiers died in the army, their families basically did not get pensions. Soldiers wounded in battle are also not cared for or subsidized. Wang Rui decided to start from this time to improve the status of soldiers with rich pensions and subsidies, and at the same time to unite the loyalty of all soldiers.

Although he only brought back the ashes of these soldiers who died in battle, Wang Rui still held a solemn memorial ceremony and allowed the people to watch.

"As you all know, six of our warriors died in this battle against the Japanese invaders. In battle, they are brave and fearless, worthy of the honor of soldiers! There were also fourteen soldiers who had been wounded in battle, and they were also fighting bravely, as evidenced by the wounds on their chests. We are solemnly gathered here today to carry on the legacy of the heroes and to face the strong enemy more bravely. Now I declare that a bereavement of one hundred taels of silver will be given to the family of every soldier who died in battle. For wounded soldiers, the army will arrange for medical treatment and recuperation, and an additional 30 taels of silver will be granted. Start distributing now! After Wang Rui's announcement, a group of personal guards immediately held shiny silver in their hands and walked towards the families of the soldiers killed in the battle and the wounded soldiers standing in the front row.

"Thank you, sir!" The family members all knelt down, and the wounded soldiers saluted Wang Rui on the high platform with tears in their eyes.

"Folks, please get up! Now, let's go and bury our valiant brothers! After Wang Rui finished speaking loudly, he personally walked to the coffin and put the wooden burden on his shoulder.

Ma Ju, Chen Ming, Xu Fu and Long Duanyu and other high-ranking officers all followed, lifting six coffins and walking towards the six cemeteries built of bluestone not far away.

"See off my brothers who died in battle! One, one, two, one! Thousands of soldiers, organized by their respective officers, followed the coffin carried by Wang Rui and others to the cemetery with neat steps, and many of them couldn't help but burst into tears.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, human life was as cheap as grass, who would have thought that a big-headed soldier would be able to get a pension of 100 silver at home after he died. Moreover, the garrison also brought the officers to personally carry the coffin and support the spirit. What an honor!

"For the sake of Lord Wang, even if you die, it's worth it!" Liu Laosan in the queue had tears on his face, and he felt that his chest was full of blood. At this moment, if Lord Wang told him to die, he thought that he would rush forward without hesitation.

After burying the soldiers and dealing with the backlog of military affairs, Wang Rui's daily life became the same as before, full and busy. Oh no! It's busier!

This battle in front of Takeda's mansion reminded him that if he didn't have a weapon advantage beyond this era, he didn't necessarily have an absolute advantage if he wanted to defeat the tough thieves and captives.

Even if he Wang Rui came from time in time, he has better organizational skills and training methods. However, the Jiannu Hundred Battle Cavalry under the organization of cruel military discipline was not something that Wang Rui's infantry and the newly formed cavalry team could defeat.

Wang Rui decided to settle down and make steel regardless of the cost. Only by refining high-quality steel can Wang Rui's dream of creating a rear-loading fixed bullet gun become a reality.

Although this matter is very difficult, Wang Rui is still quite confident. Because a time ago, his family lived next to Heavy Steel, and there were many steel mill technicians and workers. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Wang Rui really learned a lot.

Wang Rui assessed his current conditions and decided to adopt the open-hearth steelmaking method. This method is a steelmaking method invented by the Frenchman Martin in 1864 using the principle of heat storage.

The open-hearth steelmaking method has less stringent requirements for raw materials, large capacity, and many varieties produced, so it has become the world's main steelmaking method in less than 20 years. In the 50s of the 20th century, about 85% of the world's steel production was made from open-hearths.

Wang Rui felt that if this method could be used to make steel, he would be hundreds of years ahead of this era in terms of steel. With your own army equipment, you can surpass this era and crush all possible enemies!

Wang Rui, who came from later generations, believed in the power of the market and commerce, so he began to raise the market price to buy iron ore from various places.

When the merchants in the Quartet heard that this "fool lord" was about to buy iron on a large scale again, they immediately acted with high efficiency.

At the same time, Wang Rui selected dozens of potters and bricklayers from the refugees in Liaodong and began to build boilers with him.

Because of the extreme lack of security after crossing over to the Ming Dynasty, Wang Rui also made a major decision that made all the officers both excited and puzzled: to recruit 4,000 soldiers from the exiles and Liaomin again, and to expand the size of his soldiers to more than 12,000. And it still needs to be an elite soldier who trains every day.

Wang Rui is sure that with these 12,000 strong soldiers trained every day, at least on the ground in Shandong, they can meet challenges from any force!

In the afternoon of this day, Wang Rui was busy on the construction site of the steel mill as usual, and Chen Song came to report: "My lord! Someone has unveiled the list! ”

"Oh! Bring him here! Wang Rui continued to direct the craftsmen to lay the bricks, and replied without looking back.

"Meet the adults in the evening!" A young man with a delicate face and a large wooden box used by a doctor knelt down to Wang Rui.

"Oh! How long have you been practicing medicine? Can you treat a knife and arrow wound? Wang Rui couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous when he saw him young, and asked unceremoniously.

"I studied medicine for five years. Knife and arrow injuries are just ordinary minor diseases, and of course they can be treated in later life! The young man replied without humility or arrogance.

"Haha, it's not a small tone. The officer asks you how to deal with your wounds and what to use to bandage them. Wang Rui asked with a laugh.

"Naturally, the wound should be washed with boiled cold boiled water before it can be dressed. It is best to bandage with a boiled clean rag! The young healer replied.

Before he finished speaking, Wang Rui's expression straightened. Damn, this is a talent! In the Ming Dynasty, how many people understood the truth of disinfection?

"The gentleman has a point. This official is negligent! What is your name, sir? Wang Rui waved slightly and asked politely.

"Your kindness! Late Birthday Gou Shengli! The young healer replied.

Dog Miracle Doctor? Is it a dog doctor?

"Dog Doctor? Oh. After listening to what you said, the official knows a lot about medical science, why did he wander around and come to reveal the official's recruitment list? Wang Rui saw that his clothes were in tatters, and knew that he was a traveling doctor running around, and he didn't get a meal after eating.

"Wansheng also opened a clinic in Jinan Mansion, but, it's just ......" Gou Shengli's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't speak.
