Chapter 446: Hot Potato (2)

The old man's will was made very quickly, on May 21, the 49th year of Kangxi, the old man announced to the world, with the thirteenth master as the commander, and Sun Mingxu, the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, as the deputy, sent 15,000 troops, and will be in the autumn of the following year to conquer the rebellious Dongying, and make Dorobelle Hongqing to participate in the military, the Ministry of Industry dispatched all kinds of armaments, and the Ministry of Household mobilized grain and straw for military use, and ordered the Ministry of War to gather 10,000 young and strong people from the redundant personnel of the Eight Banners to form a new army, which was trained by the Thirteenth Master to prepare for the war.

On May 26, the 49th year of Kangxi, the board of directors of the "Eight Banners Firm" resolved that all the children of the Eight Banners who participated in the Eastern Crusade would receive double monthly salaries and silver shares, which would be paid by the "Eight Banners Firm" development fund. It was only ten days before and after, and the required 10,000 soldiers were already full, and the ambitious old thirteen generals marched to Beigukou and officially began the training of new soldiers.

The reason why the new army is a new army, the training methods are naturally different from the old-style army, in this regard, the old thirteen is a little unsubscriptive, fortunately, Hongqing still understands a little bit, no, in the previous life in college, he had military training, and he was not too unfamiliar with the set of recruit training, plus some miscellaneous information on the Internet in his previous life, he made do with it randomly, and finally came up with a set of training syllabus for the new army, and after discussing it with the old thirteen good students for a few days, it was officially released.

Training has always been hard, it is obviously impossible to support too long with blood alone, a group of flagmen are pampered in the end, although there is no less martial arts practice on weekdays, but after all, it is just a few plays, really to the training ground, within a few days, it has been a cry of bitterness, even deserters have appeared, the old thirteen was furious, re-pawned, cut off a few heads, and punished a group of thorns who did not listen to the command, this can be regarded as the looseness of the flagmen to turn around, After more than a month of training, the new army has some rudimentary form, of course, it is obviously far from the due norms, not to mention the side, the delay in the arrival of weapons and equipment is the most headache for the old thirteen, there is no way, can only send Hongqing, who has been practicing with the army for more than a month, back to the Ministry of Industry, to supervise the related matters of weapon manufacturing.

Weapon manufacturing is not an idle thing, although Hongqing has secretly laid an ambush early, the year before last, in the name of the manufacturing warehouse in the western suburbs of Beijing established a steel-making plant, and secretly trained a lot of gun technicians, the gun arsenal also accumulated a batch of guns and ammunition, but what is needed is not only the equipment of the 10,000 infantry army, but also more than 1,000 naval guns required by 30 large and medium-sized warships, even if the manufacturing warehouse has been fully launched, but still unable to make so many weapons in a short period of time, helpless, Hongqing can only plan the overall situation by himself, either busy expanding the scale of production, or busy scheduling the cooperation of all parties, and after three and a half months of hard work, everything is on the right track.

Busy, busy, in a blink of an eye, it was late October, with the first batch of more than 1,000 rifles and a lot of ammunition sent to the new army in Beigukou, Hongqing finally got a chance to breathe, so he had the heart to deal with the backlog of problems, this first one, naturally planned to put a shackle on Hongli, and save this kid from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

"The younger brother has seen Brother Qing."

Hongli came quickly, Hongqing had just sent someone to invite, it was only a tea time, Hongli had already walked into Hongqing's office, and when he saw Hongqing sitting on the top, he immediately walked a few steps, and then stood up reservedly, and humbly saluted and greeted him.

"Yo, Brother Li is here, please, sit down, sit down."

Seeing that Hongli had arrived, Hongqing immediately got up, smiled and let Hongli to the corner of the guests, and beckoned his guards to serve freshly brewed fragrant tea.

"Brother Qing is polite."

Since the year of Hongqing did not succeed, but was ruthlessly pit by Hongqing, Hongli has learned to be obedient, acting extremely low-key, every day is just honestly doing errands, and the rest of the things are not involved, but whenever there is a discussion, it is often silent, as long as there is Hongqing on the occasion, Hongli always tries to take a detour, there is no side, is to prevent Hongqing from finding fault, today is Hongqing sent someone to summon, hiding is not avoided, can only be in the heart of the self-vigilant, speak very cautious, Facing Hongqing's polite greetings, Hongli simply thanked him and closed his mouth.

Yo, this kid is very defensive, it's kind of interesting!

Don't look at Hongqing over the years has always pressed Hongli to death, just like its nemesis, but in fact, only Hongqing knows that Hongqing knows, in fact, Hongqing has never underestimated Hongli, and its attention is far above the fourth master, the eighth master and others, not for anything else, just because Hongqing knows very well that Hongli is a golden scale, and there is the possibility of turning into a dragon when it encounters clouds and rain. In fact, he has never relaxed his vigilance against it, and has secretly set up a few small traps to tempt and induce him to make mistakes again, but unfortunately Hongli has obviously learned to be obedient, and has always stood still, blinding Hongqing's several small calculations, and his jealousy of it is inevitably a little deeper.

"Brother Li, you and my brother have not been together for a long time, they are all blamed for being brothers, they are busy all day long, and they do not care much about Brother Li, it is all for their brother's fault, and I hope that Brother Li will not have a knot in his heart, and if there is any mistake, he will bear it for his brother."

Political animals pay attention to the inconsistency between the inside and the outside, this point, Hongqing is obviously a good player, although the heart is extremely jealous of Hongli, but the greetings that come out of the mouth are extraordinarily kind.

"Brother Qing's words are wrong, the younger brother has to be loved by Brother Qing, and it is a blessing for three lives to be able to do some practical things in the Ministry of Industry."

The more polite Hongqing is, the more the strings in Hongli's heart are tightened, and there is no side, just because Hongli is too clear about Hongqing's person, there must be an ambush behind the politeness, the more polite the more so, answering Hongqing's words, he is cautious and cautious, and after thinking about it for a while, he humbly thanked him.

"Well, the former brother is a talented person, and he has been training in this Ministry of Industry for more than a year, so he already has a considerable understanding of the various divisions?"

Seeing that Hongli's face was as calm as before, the wariness in his eyes was very strong, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but continued to greet with a smile.

"Don't dare, the younger brother has indeed experienced some divisions, but when it comes to what he has gained, it is still shallow, embarrassed and useful, ashamed, ashamed."

As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, Hongli's heartstrings immediately tightened again, and an ominous premonition was irrepressibly surging up from the bottom of his heart, but for a while, he couldn't guess where Hongqing's calculations were, so he could only be vaguely humble.

"Hey, Brother Li is too modest, although there are a lot of divisions of the Ministry of Industry, but there are things that are difficult to live in Brother Li, and now all the divisions and brothers are generally in a turn to make a convenience, only to make the warehouse and the water to clear the Division, the former, the matter involves military aircraft, no one is allowed to enter, for the brother is to let the brother go to help with one or two, but it is also difficult to do it, as for the latter, but it is just some trivial things, just be careful, there will be no mistakes, don't mix it, so calculated, Brother Li should also be able to manage some things."

Hongqing smiled and waved his hand, and the posture of the superior person was so good that he talked a lot, and at the end he vaguely revealed the meaning of putting pressure on Hongli.

"Brother Qing has taught him a lot, if it is something that the younger brother can do, he will not dare to resign."

Hongqing said so longly, Hongli's heart really seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, and there was any taste - even to be able to manage some things, the two core divisions and offices were firmly controlled by Hongqing, and the rest were just chores, even if they were managed, they could manage what was famous, besides, Hongli's identity as an assistant was given by the old man, and it was not rewarded by Hongqing, if it weren't for the big difference in titles, the status of the two sides should have been equal, but now it is treated as Hongqing's subordinate, How can Hongli not be annoyed, but there is a trace of expectation in this annoyance, after all, the right to speak can have weight, if it is such an embarrassing identity now, in the Ministry of Labor, there are few people who really put Hongli in their eyes, the problem is that Hongqing will obviously not be so kind, which makes Hongli inevitably have some gains and losses, and after a moment of silence, he replied cautiously.

"This is natural, it is not within the reach of the younger brother, and the brother does not dare to force it, well, a few days ago, Yu Hengqing was in charge of the seal Lang Zhongqi Dazuo, but he said very good things about the younger brother, saying that the former brother performed well in the division, and he was a great talent in the world, and he was familiar with all the matters of the division, and he was at ease. When my brother heard this, he was very comforted, so he asked his brother to take charge of Yu Hengqing, okay? ”

Hongqing is like a clever hunter, the bait is thrown one after another, it is really sweeter than the other, even if Hongli can see something strange, but he is not afraid that he will not take the bait, no, after chattering and pulling, he has brought a huge pie to Hongli.

"Oh?"

Of course, the pie is delicious, Hongli has been hungry for many years, and suddenly saw such a sweet pie falling from the sky, if you want to say that you are not tempted, how can you be possible, but the ominous premonition in your heart is extremely strong, and for a while I really don't know whether to stretch out such a hand, hesitated for a while, and did not make a decision.
