Chapter 187: The Heart of the Army and the People
Yang Tingjian, who returned to Tongzhou, immediately held a victory parade, that is, he loaded the corpse of Jiannu on a cart and walked around Tongzhou, pulling more than 100 carts of Jiannu's corpse, and everywhere he went was full of cheers, of course, mixed with crying and cursing.
Many of the refugees who fled to Tongzhou had their relatives more or less harmed by Jiannu, and the cries and cursing of these people were the loudest.
Tongzhou was full of firecrackers, and the enthusiasm of the people was also mobilized, and many people asked to join the Tiger Army, but the Tiger Army does not accept people now, and it is impossible to join the army even if they want to.
But Yang Tingjian has a way! Didn't Yang Jialong, the governor of Tongzhou, recognize Yang Tingjian as his uncle? Yang Tingjian directly asked Yang Jialong to organize the people to go to the city to participate in the defense, and the armory in Tongzhou was also opened to equip those people.
Why did Yang Tingjian let the people participate in the defense of Tongzhou, that is, the Tiger Ben army would soon leave Tongzhou to go on the expedition, and most of the defensive tasks would have to be done by the people of Tongzhou themselves, and Yang Tingjian would leave 5,000 troops in Tongzhou at most.
Yang Jialong, the governor of Tongzhou, has lived a very comfortable time during this time, tens of thousands of elite tiger troops are stationed in Tongzhou, what else is he worried about, and Tongzhou as the end of the Grand Canal, has hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, and the grain in Tongzhou City is at least enough for the people of Tongzhou Chengli to eat for a few years.
Although Yang Jialong tends to be inflammatory, he doesn't have any big skills, but he listens to Yang Tingjian's words, and whatever Yang Tingjian arranges him to do, he will do it immediately, and he will definitely not drag the mud and water, which is a lot less trouble for Yang Tingjian.
The people of Tongzhou can be described as passionate, and this Jiannu is boasted as "full of people who are not satisfied with 10,000, and who are invincible." Now that the myth has been shattered, Jiannu has been killed, turned into a lifeless corpse.
In fact, "the number of people is less than 10,000, and the number of people is invincible." This sentence is just an excuse made for themselves by the defeated generals of the Ming Dynasty. They usually deduct military salaries, eat empty salaries, and drink the blood of soldiers, and those generals of the Ming Dynasty, except for a few family members, there are absolutely no soldiers who can fight.
Can such a warrior win a battle? They are facing a murderous slave. It can only be a direct collapse, and now this lie has been exposed. The people of Tongzhou looked at the corpses of so many Jiannu, at least they were no longer afraid of Jiannu, and this was the purpose of Yang Tingjian's pulling the corpses of Jiannu through the streets - to boost the morale of the army and the people.
The people of Tongzhou are celebrating the victory, and Yang Tingjian is already in the weapon workshop, and Wang Daniu of the weapon workshop is reporting the situation to Yang Tingjian:
"My lord, the musket and artillery have been hunted, and there are still more than 10,000 sets of plate armor left."
Yang Tingjian was very satisfied, Wang Daniu was able to do so in this short period of time. It is not easy to produce so many weapons and equipment.
"Then stop the other work for the time being, and press the plate armor with all your might, if there is not enough manpower to recruit directly, money is not a problem...... Immediately implement three shifts to produce plate armor. ”
Wang Da Niu had never heard of this new term, and Yang Tingjian hurriedly explained to Wang Da Niu:
"It's to divide the workers into three groups, and each group works for four hours, so that it goes. Our weapons workshop will start in twelve hours. ”
Wang Da Niu immediately understood:
"My lord, this is a good method, and I will do it immediately. If you follow the three-shift method of the adult, you can produce 1,000 sets of plate armor per day. ”
"Wang Qianhu, thank you for your hard work, all the brothers who work overtime are paid double salaries, and this official can't let his craftsmen shed blood, sweat and tears."
Wang Da Niu is so impressed by their Lord Yang that he is so good that he has nothing to say. Wang Daniu knew such management methods. In modern times that is the lowest level.
Wang Daniu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Tingjian to thank him:
"Thank you, sir...... for the craftsmen under your command."
Yang Tingjian hurriedly helped Wang Daniu up, and said with a pleasant face:
"Sue all the craftsmen, do a good job, and the official will never treat them badly."
"Uh-huh...... Humble Duty Understands...... Woohoo......"
The Tiger Ben Army is still more than 10,000 sets short of plate armor, even if Wang Da Niu can produce 1,000 sets per day. It also takes more than ten days to complete the production of more than 10,000 sets. The other is the manufacture of gunpowder, Yang Tingjian knew that his troops were very dependent on gunpowder, so he had already ordered Liangcai to purchase nitrate and sulfur vigorously.
There is no shortage of nitrate in Beijing, there are dozens of saltpeter mines in Yanshan, Beijing's difference is mainly sulfur, which needs to be purchased, Yang Tingjian himself can not mine sulfur ore now, fortunately, Tongzhou is the end of the Grand Canal, and Liangcai used to purchase a lot.
Liang Cai purchased a lot of materials during this time, but he also spent a lot of silver, but fortunately, Yang Tingjian made 1.5 million taels of gold from the eight traitors, worth 15 million taels of silver, and Liang Cai spent 1 million taels on the purchase of materials.
According to the combat experience with Jiannu this time, Yang Tingjian felt that his cavalry still needed to be improved in two places, the first was to give the war horse cotton armor, which weighed only a few catties, but it could avoid the war horse being injured by the bow and arrow thrown by the enemy.
The second is to put a small conical steel nail in the Mini lead bullet, this conical small steel nail can greatly increase the armor-piercing ability of the lead bullet, and this conical small steel nail does not need to be fine, directly use a steel plate to carve a thousand conical molds on the CNC machine tool, and then directly pour it with molten steel, the CNC machine tool can carve dozens of such steel molds at will, and the tiger army can carve as many conical small steel nails as he wants.
The next day, Le Yichuan was sorting out the corpses of Jiannu, and Le Yichuan's task was to send the corpses of these Jiannu to Jingshi, and before Le Yichuan set off, a big man came to Tongzhou, and even Yang Tingjian had to put down his work and go to receive him in person.
Who is this who can make Yang Tingjian so condescending, he is Wang Chengen who hanged himself with Chongzhen in history. Wang Chengen came to Tongzhou to convey Chongzhen's message, Chongzhen didn't want to make a big deal about Yang Tingjian's expulsion from the prison army, so he wouldn't deal with Yang Tingjian for this.
Yang Tingjian personally welcomed Wang Chengen to the city and entertained him in the festival hall of the Tiger Ben Army, this time Wang Chengen did not put up a fight at all, and even used the way of conversation when conveying Chongzhen's message:
Wang Chengen saw Yang Tingjian standing in front of him, this kid was as honest as a quail at this time, no matter how you look at it, this kid doesn't look like a person who takes the head of the enemy in the army of ten thousand, Yang Tingjian is now so well-behaved, there is like an arrogant boy who dares to beat the prime minister and throw him out of Tongzhou, how does Wang Chengen look at it.
To be honest, Wang Chengen still likes Yang Tingjian's kid very much, he is the same age as Chongzhen, Chongzhen was brought up by Wang Chengen, the emperor has been a lonely man since ancient times, and he is not happy to live, this Wang Chengen must know, so he still hopes that Yang Tingjian can become Chongzhen's confidant and friend from the bottom of his heart.
"Yang Bingru, Your Majesty asked you to take your parents to Jingshi, how did you do it."
