Chapter 699: New Appointment 3

"Bastard ......"

The new director of military manufacturing, Meng Qi, who was carrying the weapons to carry out the crimes, couldn't help but be angry when he looked at the dozen or so long and short firearm samples from different workshops and origins on the case, as well as the official documents of their practical evaluation.

"The dynasty really treats their generation too favorably......"

"So much so that they have raised some unusable goods to ......"

He continued angrily.

As one of the important ministers from the bottom of the Saikaido Movement, he was appointed as the deputy governor of the rear affairs of the Lion Island (present-day Sri Lanka) from Lion Island (present-day Sri Lanka) a few months ago, in charge of the front against the Western Xia vassal forces in the south of the country. The first two directors of military manufacturing, who were transferred back to China by an edict to clean up, died of illness and were reprimanded, left behind a mess.

This is also an additional result of a certain political environment and situation after the failure of the Northern Expedition. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Third Route Army died in the enemy's territory and did not return to the second or third. This extremely painful cost and consequences also need to be treated and borne by people of sufficient weight.

Therefore, at least two privy envoys were removed from the throne, one was deposed, and Shuwei was imprisoned one after another, but this was not enough, at least those soldiers who had died in battle could not continue to be held accountable.

With the remnants of the soldiers who fled and returned and were reorganized, there was a general complaint about the poor logistics and equipment, and the fire also burned, and the ordnance and general departments under the military manufacturing director.

Under the drastic purge of the prison state, those military industrial families who have controlled and monopolized the interests of the country for generations have undoubtedly become the first batch of targets to be thrown out for rectification, investigation, and liquidation.

And the first two directors of ordnance, who have always been closely related to them, or have a stake, also died of fear and illness in office, and the other was promoted to succeed in an emergency, but he was only reprimanded for getting worse and worse.

Since then, the weapons and prisons under the command of the director of military manufacturing have all become the hard-hit areas and hot potatoes that everyone is afraid of in a sense.

And after Meng Qi returned to the dynasty in a low-key manner, because he had a relationship with the Yan Gong who had retired to Guangfu, he was a kind of professional faction, so he specially visited and consulted him.

Therefore, it is in my heart that I have some understanding and credentials, so I officially took office. As a result, it didn't take long for him to encounter such a reason for him to have a seizure.

"There are still people who dare to take the old pattern from many years ago and change it slightly to fool my ......"

"Don't they know how to write dead words......

Saying this, he picked up a sample and sneered

"The investment of the national dynasty over the years is not more than thousands, is it just for them to grasp the straight handle of the gun and replace it with a curved neck......

"Do you think I won't be able to recognize the shape of the cannon when I shrink it......"

"Holding on to the defects, not thinking of making progress, deceiving the superiors and concealing the subordinates, it is a hateful ......"

"I want a sharp weapon for long-range shooting, not a big-headed hammer that they have come up with for hand-to-hand combat......"

"Do these guys think that putting a pipe on the side of a long-handled knife and axe can be considered a firearm......

"And what's going on with these two, is it okay to collude privately......"

"Unexpectedly, dare to quote such a sky-high price......"

"You know the guns in the front army, those who circulate privately...... How much does one cost?"

"If it weren't for the fact that the amount of outflow is really limited, I would like to buy a large number of ...... for the frontier first."

"What, even if you take it and copy it as it is, it won't be of much use......

"Director Mingjian, it is natural to use it, but the cost of fire and labor is quite high......"

A craftsman with a wrinkled face, it was easy to find an opportunity to interject and speak.

"This is still a special person to take care of, and the Seiko furnace ...... gathered by the masters"

"Under the ordinary furnace maker, only thirty or forty can ......be used if a hundred are cast."

"And they have to be calibrated by hand one by one to ensure that they are as good as they used to ......."

"Therefore, materials, craftsmanship, and man-hours are all indispensable......

"If you want to produce it on a large scale. That...... That...... That. ”

"That'...... It is necessary to use the existing stoves, utensils, materials and sites...... A complete makeover and refurbishment."

"It's a huge amount, depending on each family."

Meng Qi suddenly interrupted his presentation and said sincerely.

"Then it's easier for me to start from scratch, and what use do you old military workers have......

"Do you want me to take these broken copper and iron and explain to the king, you bullshit bitterness......"

He sneered again.

"What, let Roche hand over the process and process, drawings to ......"

"You still have to think of it...... Isn't it good enough to eat well?"

"If you can do this, someone in the DPRK and China has done it a long time ago......"

"The son of Chenghai Gong, but he is still locked up in Zongzheng Temple to be punished......"

"Besides, with the virtues of those families, and the accumulated evils of the times in the two prisons,"

"Even if the skills are passed on exactly to the past......"

"Who can make sure that they don't use this to make a foolish statement, come up with more expensive and high-quality things, and open their mouths to the lion of the country......

"Isn't it just to stimulate these places and innovate the external means of eliminating them......

And within the boundaries of Xuzhou,

After being ploughed and irrigated, the mud-filled paddy fields are already full of people and begin to plant rice.

Wang Gui, one of the deputy envoys of the two-position system who was just about to be rotated from the front line, was surrounded by his subordinates who had jointly asked for orders at the garrison because of a sudden news.

"In addition to supplying food, the dynasty also needs to reduce military spending? …… It's true."

Wang Gui only felt a buzz in his head, the secret path still came after all, but he didn't know how to talk to them.

"I heard that the main establishment of the three orders of the regular army remains roughly unchanged, but the corresponding food and salary must be reduced and treated,......

"And all kinds of subordinate subordinates must be cut off......"

"Is this a clear indication of weakening or gradually abandoning us......

Those familiar subordinates didn't care about his expression and psychology, and for a while, the gossip was boiling.

According to the original system, the eleventh battalion of the right army of the three armies and one guard in the capture is compared with the treatment of the Gongwei armies; The ninth battalion of the right guard army of the camp is compared with the treatment of the main battle troops at the front of the major divisions; The former army was assigned eight battalions, which was compared with the treatment of the garrison troops who belonged to important towns.

In addition to the auxiliary service and miscellaneous subordinates in the field state, it will cost about 540,000 yuan, 460,000 yuan, and 410,000 yuan respectively every year for maintenance and military expenses.

As for the national dynasty, although it is directly allocated from the base camp, and there are not as many roads as the local government, but after the exchange of silver coins and pumping, it can only provide an approximate integer part, and the rest of the difference must be eaten in the place or raised nearby.

The field and service allowances, the subsidies of various levels, the pensions and benefits of the corresponding branches and ministries, and the resettlement and follow-up safeguards for the disabled and discharged from service, were almost all provided by the Zhenfu Government from other channels and means, or simply from my private income.

The 11th Battalion of the Right Army of the Imperial Battalion was reduced to the level of the main combat unit under the Recruiting Division, and the right guard army and the front army of the battalion were all treated and standardized as the second-line garrison army in the rear.

As for the follow-up training, accumulation, and equipment repair, they must be transferred and paid from these quotas, and no additional items can be applied to the base camp.

Only, as the subordinate Yabing and Yu Hou, as the subordinate envoys, 200,000 yuan is specially allocated every year for daily maintenance. And this money will have to be shared with the personal guard troops of several other commanders.

As for the cost of the local Qingzhou Guarding County, it was directly ignored and not included in the military expenditure.

In addition, the money for the salaries of bureaucrats was also reduced. About 22,500 tassels, reduced to 19,000. However, this part is the least impactful.

Because the group of people who eat the most are still in Jiangning Yaoling. The local officials who are in charge of actual affairs have long had their own channels and systems for spending and supporting under the Zhenfu Mansion.

Calculated in this way, the dynasty was saved in Huaidong at once, almost one-third of the expenses. Although there are guarantees and compensation raised from Yizhou nearby, it is all for the future.

Therefore, this matter that was scorched by words and spread was clear-eyed, and many people in the army who were anxious or used a lot couldn't help but scold their mothers on various occasions on the spot.

And those generals who were born in the north or the southeast, or who had no followers in the Southern Dynasties, could not help but have a certain kind of vacillation and panic.

Even as a person from the background of the mountains, the oldest group of people cannot be much exceptional.

Although I knew that there was this rumor and possibility, some people who had blessed their hearts could not help but have some sad feelings of loss and melancholy, and even pessimism and disappointment.

Then, in the high-level military discussion of the Zhenfu Mansion, a sentence that circulated made these crowd dissent and murmurs temporarily suppressed.

"No matter what happens in the country, all the benefits will remain the same......"

Then the new rumor became that the town marshal would raise his own funds to meet the various contents of the army's pre-military shortcomings.

This rumor, of course, is absolutely true, but it is still at the stage of proposal, and it has not immediately become a fact that it will be implemented.

Because, through the behind-the-scenes operation and Chen Qing, on the grounds that "the state and county have been broken for a long time, and Shi Cao has been paying for the officials, it will be far from the same as the same as the same year", and he has tried his best to win it, at least three to two years of implementation buffer period.

Therefore, in the inner house of Zhenfu Mansion,

"Good job this time......"

I praised Su Chengsheng, Tong Hao and others

"It's a matter of duty,"

"I really don't dare to take credit for ......"

They answered.

"No, the rewards and punishments for merit and demerits should be strict...... Even if it's the special nature of your generation, it's the same."

I waved my hand.

"The corresponding reward, after this gust of limelight...... It will be issued in other names and ways."

"Now let's report the corresponding list first, and then talk about ......"

This time, the two powerful departments of the Social and Horse Commands, together with the cooperation of the non-commissioned commissions at all levels, have been relatively successful in testing the waters of public opinion operations in the military.

Not only did they openly and openly ask for directions, but they also tested the general mentality and emotional trends in the army, but also screened and highlighted the tendencies of those small groups and individuals who were relatively less resolute, or half-hearted, or the two ends of the first rat.

Of course, it is mainly aimed at the middle and middle ranks of the army above the non-commissioned officers, and as for the ordinary non-commissioned officers, they are more of a conformist who follow the crowd, and their thinking is much simpler.

And they will naturally be included in another special list that is focused on observation, although everything is as usual in daily life, and the treatment and level are still enjoyed, but in the corresponding promotion, promotion and merit, and even subsequent training, they are naturally biased and marginalized.

In order to avoid the opportunity to come into contact with relatively important affairs, or to be selected into a more critical position, which will increase the uncertainty and hidden dangers in the future.

The so-called ideological position of the armed forces is still the basic principle that "if you don't occupy it, something else will occupy it," and the methods and techniques of controlling the guidance of public opinion are really not too much in the lessons and lessons of various regimes in later generations.

For me, who has been bombarded with information and has a particularly firm outlook, it is just a little rough intention that I have come up with, and then I have enough people who are either smart or capable to carry it out in a way unique to this era.
