If you do what this official says, then the first one to bear the burden is Changlin, which is equivalent to offending the gentry of Liangguang and Guangzhou, who does not have three relatives and six relatives, the gentry class, but there are many people who are officials outside, so you are equivalent to getting along with your own people. 【】

Besides, the officials who came out will inevitably become a thorn in the side of those gentry, which will definitely arouse the disgust of these guys, and when the time comes, the officials really want to do things, it will be difficult, you know, after all, the officials are outsiders, and those guys are all local snakes, and the vast majority of the people who serve you in the official office are also from the local area, and there must be an inextricable relationship with those people, then, if you offend all those who are huge in the local area, then, you are an official, unless your backstage is outrageousOtherwise, it can only be said that your career is over, at least you will never have any achievements here.

Therefore, for the idiot official's speech, everyone thought that he was farting, and perhaps he himself had noticed something, and laughed a little dryly, and retreated to his place and sat down.

Then, there was an awkward silence, which made the governor of Liangguang quite unhappy, but the problem was that he couldn't pull out a big stick to force these guys to come up with an idea that worked.

At this time, Liang Pengfei cleared his throat and stood up, looking a little hesitant and said: "Lord Governor, there is a way for the general, but it is ......."

This made the officials present cheer up, looking at Liang Pengfei who was speaking, Changlin saw that after Liang Pengfei stood up, he seemed a little hesitant, and was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face: "It's okay, but it's okay." ”

"Since the governor has a life, then the last general has the courage to say it, presumably the adults also know, and the last general's family has been doing business and running ships for several generations, but the last general is a court official, if he asks his family to recruit Zhuang Ding villagers, I am afraid it will cause criticism. Therefore, the last general was a little hesitant, but the last general thought that those gentry were not unwilling to serve the court, but no leader in this matter stood up first, and they were afraid that they had concerns in their hearts. Liang Pengfei replied immediately.

As soon as he said this, Changlin was already happy: "Good, very good...... Young Master Liang at this moment is simply a loyal guardian of the country, regardless of remuneration, regardless of merit, only serving the country, throwing his head and dissipating blood at all costs, at least he Liang is so self-hypnotic, or Yiyin.

But I have to say that after Liang Pengfei stood up like this, there were really a lot of applause and echoes around him. They all agree that Liang Pengfei's policy is a manifestation of loyalty to the country, as for Liang Pengfei's concern is not a problem at all, in the court, father and son are officials in the same dynasty, not to mention that Liang Yuanxia did not become an official of the court, but only recruited the village warriors to train as a gentry to protect the territory and the people.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

And Wang Shouli on the side suddenly had an idea, stood up and asked Liang Pengfei: "General Liang, this official knows that Pan Youdu, the chief merchant of the Thirteen Lines, is your father-in-law Taishan, why don't you know him and let him be an example?" In this way, it will inevitably drive a group of gentry and businessmen to participate in this matter. ”

"Admiral Wang's words are very good, hahaha, General Liang, I am afraid that this matter can only be entrusted to you." Changlin, the governor of Liangguang, stepped forward and said to Liang Pengfei and Yan Yue. "If this matter is successful, the people of Liangguang and Guangxi will have protection, and Liang Zongbing will be the first to take credit, and the governor will definitely play the emperor to express Liang's loyalty to the court."

"The order of the Governor and the Admiral, how dare the last general disobey?" Liang Pengfei replied respectfully, but he couldn't stop laughing sinisterly in his heart. Lao Tzu is pit on you, but you still send me a pillow, if you don't pick up Lao Tzu, you are a stupid bird.

Things soon had a result, worried that Liang Pengfei would disobey the yin, so Changlin rewarded Liang Yuanxia for recruiting township warriors in the name of the governor of Liangguang the next day, and trained the regiment to protect the territory and the people, so it was impossible for Liang Pengfei to regret it, but in fact, how could Liang Pengfei regret it?

Soon, in just ten days, the first Guangdong civilian military organization: Shunde Township Yongying finally became an empty shell, but I believe that it will not be long before this empty shell battalion will be filled with elite soldiers.

After that, Pan Youdu and others, who returned to Guangzhou from Annan, naturally gladly agreed, and soon the Yongying of Longxi Township, Haicheng Township, Guangdong, Xinhui Township, and Changning Township were established one after another.

On the surface, it is the Xiangyong camp funded by the major wealthy businessmen of the Thirteen Banks in Guangdong in their hometown, but in fact, they are all under the secret control of Liang Pengfei, and the officers at all levels in those battalions are all elite officers selected from the Liang family's army.

"My lord, there are fifteen battalions in total, according to the army of the Qing Dynasty, a battalion is less than five hundred, more than one thousand, of course we are calculating higher, so it is always a battalion of 1,000 people, which is 15,000 soldiers, in addition, we have also started to set up camps in some key areas of Guangdong through the relatives of those merchants, if all are completed, we should have 23 battalions, that is, 23,000 people." Sun Shijie seems to be very sensitive to numbers, and when he looks at Liang Pengfei, he doesn't look at the piece of paper in his hand at all, and he is like a few treasures.

"Twenty-three thousand...... Liang Pengfei nodded after thinking about it: "Although it seems to be less, it is completely enough to deal with those green battalions in Guangdong, and the only thing to worry about now is guns and artillery." ”

The first coal and iron ore mines in northern Annam have been expanded twice, and together with the mines left behind by the Spaniards on Luzon, Liang Pengfei's steel needs are basically enough for the time being.

Due to the introduction of a series of industrial tools such as steam engines and simple lathes, Liang Pengfei's military industry has taken off from a dream to a reality.

With steam engines, large stamping machines and other heavy machinery can not be confined to the river, after a long period of hard work, and a large amount of investment, the breech gun with air pressure re-entry system has begun to be put into the experimental production, after all, with the guidance and guidance of Liang Pengfei, a professional arms dealer, it is difficult to succeed.

The barrel has begun to use the alloy barrel that has been tested by Western metallurgical experts for many times, but due to the lack of perfect and more precise manufacturing tools and lathes, the yield of the breech gun manufactured is really a bit miserable for Liang Pengfei, but after all, this is a road that has not been walked by predecessors, and I believe that in the near future, the yield will be higher and higher.

In the same way, the development of the breech gun was completed earlier than the artillery, and at this time, it had already begun to be put into mass production, although Liang Pengfei felt a little regretful that he had to pull the bolt to shoot a shot, but because of the use of a magazine loaded with ten rounds, this rifle that uses smokeless gunpowder to shoot has been far behind the hand-held weapons of all countries in the world in terms of range, shooting accuracy and rate of fire.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

And this so-called mass production is only relatively speaking, the output of fifteen to twenty sticks per day is already the current limit, after all, there are too few workers who can skillfully work those machines at this stage.

However, at least the production of nearly 600 rifles a month can produce 7,000 rifles a year, and besides, the number of skilled workers and production machinery is gradually increasing, and it is believed that after a year, fifty or even a hundred rifles a day will no longer be a dream and Italian silver.

The armament is getting stronger, and Liang Pengfei's confidence is also expanding, and now because Liang Pengfei's greedy hand has covered the entire Nanyang, with his rich knowledge flowing around the world in his previous life, although he dare not say that he can point out the minerals in the XX area, but on a certain island, there are those strategic resources, he still has an impression, which gives his subordinates a general direction of prospecting.

The laborers who were continuously summoned from the Japanese Kingdom were all scattered to various parts of the South Seas, contributing their blood, sweat and youth to the infrastructure construction of the various islands in the South Seas.

Now Liang Pengfei is more like a fierce beast, lurking in the dense forest next to the Qing court, who is just a lazy wild boar in his eyes, he is waiting patiently, waiting for this stupid wild boar to give up the last trace of vigilance, stick his head into the stream and drink, when that time comes, he will pounce lightly, show his already sharpened claws, and give this creature a terrible and fatal blow.

With a tired body of excitement, Liang Pengfei returned to the backyard, and as soon as he stepped into the study, he saw Pan Bingjie and Maria chatting there.

"What, it's all done? Come on, this is the sweet soup I stewed for you, drink it quickly......" Pan Bingjie hurriedly stepped forward and took the outer cloak on Liang Pengfei's body into his hand, and asked Yahuan to bring a bowl of steaming sweet soup and bring it to Liang Pengfei's hand with her own hands.

"Thank you, have you drunk?" Liang Pengfei was not polite, and after pouring all the three times and five divided by two into his mouth, he smiled at the two of them.

"I drank it, and Maria said she had no appetite, so she only drank half a bowl." Pan Bingjie turned around and smiled at Liang Pengfei. And when Maria, who was about to get up with Maria, who seemed to have put a watermelon in her stomach, Liang Pengfei hurriedly took two steps forward, helped her and said with a look of disgust: "Okay, sit down, now your body is heavy, you can't move." ”

"Oh my God, you might as well kill me, I'm going crazy with all these words." Maria glanced at Liang Pengfei a little anxiously, but she still sat down obediently, and now Maria's slender face looks much rounder, and the youthful atmosphere of the girl is wrapped in a trace of the maturity of a young woman, as well as the brilliance of the mother's surname that is naturally precipitated.
