Chapter 225: Jiangnan Gun Bureau

The defeat of the Qing army is far less exciting and exciting than the defeat of the Anglo-French coalition army.

Watching the situation in Shanghai from a distance, everyone was shocked, except for a few compradors and the like who had economic interests with foreign powers, everyone was elated.

"We won the Qing Dynasty."

"Win."

"It's really fake, I can't believe my eyes."

"Hehe, look, it's not the red-haired people who fell on the ground."

"My mother, I don't dare to look at it, I'm scared to death."

"It's not the Qing Dynasty, it's the long hair."

"Long hair is powerful, give us Chinese a long face."

In the midst of the discussions, the citizens of Shanghai secretly spied on the new long-haired army.

The Huaxia army advanced and cleaned up all the battlefields, those coalition officers and soldiers who had died were dragged away and buried, and those who were half-dead and could not be rescued were also dragged away, waiting for the death to be dealt with, only those who were slightly injured and took the initiative to be captured, gathered together and escorted down,

More than a dozen British soldiers have become the leggs of the Huaxia Army, like pugs, busy running before and after, willing to serve,

The Huaxia army quickly took control of the entire city of Shanghai,

There are also sporadic battles, for example, some of the Qing troops who fled the resistance, a few foreign soldiers hiding in the people's homes shot themselves in desperation, and some hooligans took the opportunity to rob the streets, kill people, force women, or rush into residents' homes to extort money.

An infantry battalion was prepared, which protected the artillery regiment, and the rest of the troops, striking in all directions, took control of the main part of the city of Shanghai,

"Hello, Shanghai, we're here." Rural people, ordinary artillerymen, Luo Yang, who has not saved enough money for global travel, has naturally never been to Shanghai, originally, he planned to stop for a few months to work in Shanghai, but unfortunately......

The Shanghai stall one hundred and fifty years ago was such a scene.

It is any modern Chinese county, which is larger than the scale of Shanghai at that time, the population is richer, the buildings are more beautiful, it can be said that the port area, which is known as China's largest commercial city, is nothing more than that, scattered with a large number of low earthen houses, and a strong rural atmosphere.

The Huaxia Army sent a patrol to enforce discipline on the streets, and whenever they found a person who was making trouble and robbing an illegal person, they immediately stepped forward to arrest and stop it, and asked about the situation as quickly as possible, and then corrected the law on the spot.

Sporadic gunshots, announcing the transition of a new regime,

First of all, control the city gates, streets, several important military and political organs of the Qing army, as well as the barracks and weapons and ammunition depots stationed by the British and French forces, and firmly control the county seat, and then, divide and merge three roads, all the way out of the dock in Shanghai, all the way to guard the county seat, all the way to a special location in Shanghai: Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau,

British, the general leader of the foreign guns, Gordon, because of the unhappy mood, and Li Hongzhang had a stiff relationship, led the troops back to Shanghai, he was going to send troops to fight, but he was too drunk, so he ordered others to replace the command, and after the news, he was so busy that he didn't know what to do, so he had to go into a monastery, put on a white cloth scarf, put on a black robe, pretended to be a nun's sister, and stayed for a long time, and finally, while the Huaxia army was busy with affairs, he quietly slipped away, or pretended to be a nun, and escaped with a group of nuns,

This embarrassment later made him extremely angry, and then became one of the sworn enemies of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom.

In the barracks of the foreign army, more than 50 officers and soldiers of two platoons who stayed behind were frightened by the Huaxia army that fell from the sky, and after fighting for a few seconds, grenades and other things were smashed indiscriminately, blowing up their guts, revealing the essence of paper tigers.

All the barracks of the foreign gun team, materials and whatever, have become the trophies of the Chinese army, what is shocking is that more than 30 foreign cannons, as well as a large number of shells, are still in the warehouse, the proud foreign gun team thinks that they can win the victory by casually fighting a random gun.

At this time, a group of Huaxia troops on the dock were mainly responsible for maintaining order and at the same time responsible for clearing the Qing army that might still be there, where the Qing army had fled, and the Huaxia army had successfully taken over the territory.

Under the guidance of the people, Luo Yang came to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

"Oh, that's good."

All the officers and soldiers were shocked by the momentum of the large-scale Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the scale was shocked, others were uninformed, and Luoyang was a comparison between modernity and history.

A battalion of officers and soldiers occupied the factory, and also confiscated all the property, housing, etc., of the Qing court officials here.

Luo Yang visited the factory one by one, carefully inspected all the manufacturing equipment and workshops, and ordered the workers left behind to inform all those who had fled home because of the war.

Luoyang announced that he would retain this military industrial enterprise and change its name to Huaxia Second Military Industrial Enterprise, because in Shanghai, relative to the first arsenal in Xi'an, it is commonly known as the South Factory.

The manufacture of weapons and equipment here already has a considerable foundation, with several workshops for the manufacture of gunpowder, bullets and iron pellets, cannons, ammunition, moreover, imitation of Western flowering shells, cannons of several calibers, various ammunition, and many other ancillary equipment, etc.

Of course, the weapons of the very backward era are still breech-mounted cannons, the caliber is not large, very monotonous, only the artillery of the army, there is no navy, and the foreign guns that can be produced are also breech-loading Mauser guns, which need to be fired and the ammunition is separated.

In any case, there is already a foundation here, and the most important thing is that many of the equipment is already industrialized.

Soon, the technicians of the factory were found, and after Luo Yang's enthusiastic introduction, everyone kowtowed to Luo Yang and expressed their welcome, which made Luo Yang embarrassed.

"Please tell us about the purpose of these machines and equipment." Luo Yang suggested,

As a technical expert, Luo Yang raised many questions during the visit, and the so-called experts sweated profusely.

Luo Yang asked for everyone's opinions to see how to manage this military enterprise, and finally, Luo Yang announced that the current factory director would serve as the rest of the people, in terms of living conditions and benefits, only improve and not lower, so as to ensure everyone's enthusiasm for work.

As soon as it was announced, it stirred up rolling waves in everyone's hearts.

At the same time, Luo Yang appointed two officers as supervisors, and also stationed a company of soldiers in the factory to protect and supervise.

Luo Yang instructed that the military factories should immediately work overtime, especially those technicians, to quickly develop the products they want.

Since there is equipment, it is easy to say, Luo Yang spent more than an hour communicating with these people, and put forward his own opinions, which surprised several technicians.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all colleagues in the future, you have to work hard, the first thing is to make rifle bullets with ammunition, second, to develop yellow powder, third, to develop mortars, and fourth, to develop new rifles." Luo Yang talked eloquently, and all the so-called technicians were shocked, everyone couldn't imagine that a prince actually knew how to be so right.

Luo Yang did not hide the details of the development, because there was not enough equipment in Xi'an City, which hindered his plan.

"Two, new rifles, mortars, must be in a matter of days, according to the king's method."

"Yes, lord." Every technician has been guaranteed by Luo Yang that he will not take care of prisoners of war, increase welfare, and also guarantee that as long as he can develop a new type of rifle, he will have a major reward.
