1909 was destined to be a difficult year.

The Manchus did not have two years to live, and in 1909 the signs were already showing.

At the beginning of the year, the regent Zaifeng ordered Yuan Shikai, the Minister of Military Aircraft and the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to return to his hometown, which has already laid a bane.

The Guang'an Uprising and the Leshan Uprising organized by the revolutionary Xiong Kewu and others heralded that an even more vigorous uprising was coming.

In Sichuan, in addition to these uprisings one after another, the British businessman Liddell established the "Huaying Coal and Iron Company" in Sichuan, arbitrarily dividing land and inserting benchmarks, arousing public indignation. Eventually, the mines were sold to Jianghe Company.

The Englishman Liddell was a great adventurer, who opened the first foreign commercial bank in the history of Sichuan, and the first insurance company was known as the "British pioneer of western China".

Similarly, in Rong County, Wang Hengyue is also silently developing himself.

Salt production has begun in the salt well, and the first batch of salt has been shipped out smoothly, which means that Wang Hengyue's current most important fiscal revenue is starting to get on track.

With the smooth delivery of goods for Guo Shenzhi and Zhang Zihe, more and more people knew that Wang Hengyue still had an armed escort force in his hands, and more businessmen, even including businessmen from Leshan and other places, came to ask Wang Hengyue to help escort them.

Originally, Wang Hengyue escorted Guo Shenzhi and Zhang Zihe, just to make some windfalls, but he didn't expect to open up a financial path for himself. After thinking about it, Wang Hengyue simply asked Deng Yong to be in charge of this matter and erected the sign of "Rongxian Limited Transfer Company".

Helping to escort in the name of the company can avoid tongues to the greatest extent.

Who would have thought that as soon as the brand of "Rong County Limited Transfer Company" was hung up, the business was surprisingly good.

Sichuan is not peaceful now, and there are riots and bandits everywhere, and some green forests and robes with the banner of the revolutionary party have also set up cards on the road to loot supplies. If there is a strong armed escort force, it is what the merchants are most happy to see.

However, when business is good, there are troubles.

Since transportation mainly relied on the Armed Guards, and there were many businessmen who hired transport companies, a large number of Armed Guards personnel were transferred, which delayed the normal training of the Armed Guards.

In Wang Hengyue's conception, the Armed Guards were used as a reserve force of the regular army, a quasi-regular army.

After careful consideration, Wang Hengyue once again recruited a large number of people in various places, selected those who met the standards of the new army, and added them to the first team and the armed guards, and the rest of the personnel were eliminated, and then selected capable people from among them, and after a short period of training, they formed the "Rongxian Limited Operation Company Security Team", which also distributed weapons and used them as escort forces.

As the captain of the security team, Wang Hengyue originally wanted Wu Qianlong, but it was strange to say that Wu Qianlong refused to do it alive or dead, and said that if he was allowed to go to the water, even if he was an ordinary sailor, he would rather be a small shed.

Where can I get you a boat? Could it be that Lao Tzu is still going to get a navy out? Wang Hengyue was very dissatisfied, but everyone had their own ambitions, and he was reluctant, and finally appointed Jia Haoyang as the captain of the security team.

Wang Hengyue was very proud, and the establishment of the transportation company gave him a third paramilitary organization in addition to the first team and the armed guards: the security team!

There is a limit to the size of each team of the new army, but the armed guards and security forces can insert as many people as they want, and in the future, if the situation changes, these two paramilitary groups can be put into the place where they are needed in an instant!

To do these things, the 100,000 taels of silver from Zhou Baoliang really came in handy, and it also made Wang Hengyue worry about Zhou Baoliang all the time, when would he have to go to Leshan again.

And with the official production of the cymbal top arsenal, the first rifle that Wang Hengyue was looking forward to finally came off the production line.

The results of the test were very satisfactory, and Wang Hengyue even praised his marksmanship in front of his subordinates, hitting eight targets with ten shots, which was quite a good result.

"Although this is a 1903 rifle, I asked you to name it because it was produced here." In this period of life in Westlairong County, I can mix with Pete all day long, and I have learned a lot of human feelings, and I am actually an "adult", and I call Wang Hengyue Wang Lai.

Holding the rifle produced by himself in his hand, Wang Hengyue's heart was overjoyed, and he thought for a while: "Since it was produced in Rong County, it should be called 'Made in Rong County'." This was the first batch of guns, and this gun was named 'Rongzao Ichi'. In the future, we will have two and three types of Rongzao! ”

Saying that, Wang Hengyue handed the gun to his subordinates: "How are the workers?" ”

"Don't worry, sir." "A few of the first batch of workers we trained will be able to carry out production and installation under our guidance, and the rest will soon be on the job," says West. ”

"What about the materials?" Wang Hengyue asked very carefully.

"At the moment, the materials are sufficient, and the adults brought in a lot of materials last time. After all the workers can read and work, according to the current scale and speed, in the case of material guarantee, although it cannot reach the scale of producing 50 branches, but 30 branches are still guaranteed, I believe that with the increase of workers' proficiency, we can make it reach 50 branches! ”

"Good!" Wang Hengyue nodded and said: "West, you have to remember that the output does not need to be increased blindly, but the quality must be guaranteed, I can't let my soldiers lose their lives because of the failure of the gun when they go to the battlefield!" ”

"Don't worry, King!" West patted his chest: "The quality of the gun is our reputation, and reputation is more important than life!" ”

Wang Hengyue was greatly satisfied: "West, appoint you as the general office of the Cymbal-Top Machine Bureau!" ”

"What is the general office?" West asked curiously.

"Dog, whatever." Wang Hengyue scolded with a smile: "That's what the factory director meant." ”

"Thank you, my friend, King." West happily hugged Wang Hengyue, and suddenly said solemnly: "Since I am the factory director, should my salary also be increased?" ”

"Fuck off." Wang Hengyue muttered dissatisfiedly, the dead foreign devil is doing a good job, but he just wants money: "Mario, appoint you as the deputy director." Karnovsky, you are appointed Chief Engineer of the Machine Bureau. The three of you will do a good job for Lord Ben, and Lord Ben will definitely not treat you badly in terms of salary. But if there is any problem with Lao Tzu's gun, the first one will not spare you, and Lao Tzu will dare to fight like a foreigner! ”

The three of them patted their chests together and said:

"Boss, you are our big boss, we are working for you, although we are the factory director, deputy factory director, and chief engineer, only you are the number one **oss!"
