Chapter 469: Don't Forget the Martyrs
The captains and pipe bands of the navy were also promoted a lot, and most of them were intellectual young musketeers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Captain is not necessarily a pipe band, pipe belt is definitely a captain, they may command several or even a dozen warships.
Today, the navy has more than 400 warships, more than 20,000 sailors and gunners, and nearly 20,000 auxiliary soldiers serving on the warships.
The navy's auxiliary forces are basically equipped with sailor skills, and they mainly serve in peacetime, such as cooking on fires, carrying ammunition, and driving by manpower, etc., and the casualties of regular sailors are immediately compensated.
The population of the Huang family has increased dramatically, and the benefit is that labor abounds, and after five or six years of education, everyone in the Huang family master craftsmen can write and calculate, so most of them have become masters, and each of them is seriously taking apprentices as much as possible.
The Huang family treats technical talents well, and the number of apprentices and apprentices and the skills are directly related to the income of the master.
Before Huang Sheng came to this era, the science and craftsmanship of the Han people were all empiricism, passed down from generation to generation by the oral transmission of the master.
If the times are not good, the master with experience and skills does not find a successor, or there is no son to teach him, or he dies unexpectedly, many of his studies are often lost.
Historically, Hua Tuo's medical research was the result of this, and until now, people can't figure out whether his so-called hemp boiling soup is there or not, and what it is?
On the first day of having a craftsman, Huang Sheng began to record all the experiences in writing, recording every technique in detail, and not only that, the Huang craftsmen were also exploring the principles and getting theoretical support.
After six years of development, a number of standards and operating norms came into being, which became a tool for training industrial workers. Even so, everyone who can come up with improvements and improve the process will be rewarded, even if it is whimsical.
This year, due to the great expansion of the Huangjia factory and the extensive recruitment of workers, too many young people who have left the school gate have become apprentices to learn technology, and too many strong laborers from Houjin and Beizhili have become the basic laborers of the factory.
The Scorpion Island Arsenal has been expanded to produce at full capacity, and the new factory area of the "Huaxia Island" Arsenal is larger, and the layout is more advanced and reasonable due to the accumulation of experience.
Taking the production of flintlock rifling guns as an example, assembly line production has been basically achieved, and it is no longer a master who is responsible for the whole gun, and such a master often becomes a leader above the director of the workshop.
The refinement of the social division of labor is one of the concrete manifestations of the highest productive forces, and the same is true of the arsenal, with relatively fine weights and measures, with a unified standard, flintlock pistol parts have belonged to the standard products of animal power and hydraulic mechanized mass production, and they can definitely be universal.
The gun-making factory has subdivided the workers, and the workers in each workshop can be employed after a short period of study, and will soon become skilled workers.
Because it is no longer a single worker who has to master the entire production process, it saves time and effort in training.
Drilling the barrel of a gun, producing bayonets, bolts, flints, triggers, butts, primer pots, etc., are all carried out by skilled craftsmen, who may only be skilled in manufacturing one of the processes for which they are responsible.
The assembly and quality inspection of guns are quite strict, and those who exceed the specified tolerances are all held accountable, and each gun has a gun number, which can be traced to the end against the records, and even the steel that provides raw materials will be clear at a glance.
The quality inspectors are all experienced master craftsmen, and if they leave the factory with unqualified guns, they will be sentenced to re-education through labor and may be beheaded.
The mantra of the quality inspection master: "Honestly work overtime to redo, it is useless to treat and give gifts, no one will carry their heads to cover Pier, etc." ”
Now the production of flintlock pistols has doubled and is increasing every month. Due to trade with Japan, sulfur, saltpeter, and willow carbon, which were the raw materials for the production of gunpowder, were imported in large quantities.
Japan's sulfur and saltpeter are of good quality and cheap, and I don't know if the shogun Seiyi has already occupied Iwo Jima, which is covered with a layer of sulfur caused by volcanic eruptions, and can be directly mined in the open pit.
Busy with the big plan to seize Cochin, it is imperative to seize the Ryukyu Islands, and the need to import strategic materials such as saltpeter and sulfur makes Huang Sheng feel very unsure, and it is better to have it himself.
Although Iwo Jima is only about 20 square kilometers, it is blessed with unique resources and is strategically important, so it is imperative to collect it.
Due to the good quality of raw materials and low prices, the Huang family now has a high output of gunpowder, not only for the military, but also for the use of mountains and rocks, and the Huang family even carried out shallow underwater blasting at any cost when dredging the channel of the Yangtze River.
This is not too difficult, take turns to launch a hole in the boulder that affects navigation, make a hole with a steel drill, seal the gunpowder with a tarpaulin, and burn the fuse in the hollowed-out bamboo pipe to detonate the underwater gunpowder, and after blasting the boulder, it can be lifted out of the water.
There is no diving equipment, so you can only choose to work in shallow water during the dry season, but this is enough, and it is enough for the Yangtze River to keep the draft of the ship five or six feet from touching the reef during the dry season.
On June 4 of the third year of Chongzhen, three years ago today, the first batch of casualties of the Huang family's private soldiers in the south of Jinzhou City, this day will always be remembered by all the people of the Huang family system, and it has become a holiday to commemorate the martyrs.
In front of the 600 martyrs of the Huang family's private soldiers, all the soldiers present solemnly swore that for the country, for the nation, for the head of the family, for the head of the family, to shed blood, to write the Spring and Autumn Period.
At the end of the memorial service, all the head rewards and military merit rewards are all cashed.
This time, the amount of rewards reached more than 2 million silver coins, the deposits of "Huaxia Daqian Village" increased several times, and the commercial housing of "Huaxia Island" was sold out even in the second phase, and the third phase of the project was ordered by more than 30% just after planning.
The islands of the Huang family system have been completely opened to the post, and radiate to every city with 'Huaxia Daqian Village', and it is Huang Sheng's ultimate goal to connect the world and the post to the world.
The postal route between Huangjiawan Island and "Huaxia Island" was the fastest, and letters written by the soldiers to their families could be delivered in three or four days.
This is because the Huang family's new style of whistle horses are constantly coming and going, and they undertake the task of mailing. Postage is quite cheap, a letter only costs five cents, and registered mail is three times the postage.
The design of the first Wuwen stamp is Huangjiashan Island, the island where the Huang family started, the pattern of Shiwen is Shuangdingshan Mountain of Huangjiawan Island, and the area 100101 of the zip code is Huangjiashan Island, Juehua Island 100102 Zhongmingbao 100103.......
Although it is unprofitable for the soldiers to buy ordinary commercial housing, the overall effect of the residential areas developed in the contiguous area is much better, and the mid-range commercial houses and high-end villa buildings are also making a lot of money.
All the meritorious soldiers were rewarded with silver, and at the same time, a large number of junior officers were promoted, and they were respectively appointed to the official positions of captain, general of 100, general general, and so on.
The eight special loaders have been disciples for more than two years and have been studying with the head of the family, and this time they are all appointed as Bai Zong to enrich the team.
Liu Guozheng has expanded the pro-soldier team to a total of 600 people, of which half are from martial artists, 200 from the Ming cavalry, and 100 are musketeers and special marksmen.
The pro-soldier corps generally enjoys the great logistics of the Chinese military organs, and there are auxiliary troops specially serving the Chinese army, and the Chinese army even camps are completed by engineering troops.
