The eastern sky gradually turned from black to white, from white to blue, and then from blue to crimson...... Everything stirred, awakened, sang, made noise, spoken. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The clear and clear bells of the info church greeted as if they had been washed away by the cool morning air.

Chen Wenqiang woke up from his sleep, and the continuous sailing of the ship made him sleep soundly and sweetly. Beside him was Caifeng, who woke up but didn't want to disturb him, and the slight flutter of her eyelids had betrayed her pretending to sleep.

Gently stroking Caifeng's face, Chen Wenqiang was a little apologetic, especially when Caifeng opened her eyes and looked at him with happiness and a smile, he decided to compensate her, a compensation that could fulfill her dream.

Staying with Chen Wenqiang, Caifeng felt happy, warm, and with any kind of life that no one else could give her. Reminiscing about the feeling of being held in his arms, she no longer had worries and worries, and felt like a little tender frog lying on the leaves of water lilies in the lotus pond, surrounded by fragrance, beauty, gentleness and comfort.

But she also has a regret, although she never said it. Don't fight for the eldest mother-in-law and the little mother-in-law, as long as it is Chen Wenqiang's woman, she can put on a newcomer's red wedding dress, sit on the big sedan chair to marry her relatives, and act like that in the play, blowing and blowing, lively and lively, and flowers and candles in the cave room...... A woman's most basic and ardent longing, but as a concubine, and her background, it is an unattainable luxury for Caifeng.

"There will be sedan chairs and drum music, and I will let people know that you are my Chen Wenqiang's woman." After breakfast, Chen Wenqiang gave Caifeng a kiss, threw down a sentence that made the woman blush and heartbeat, and walked away with a smile.

…………

There was no time to see the operation of factories and enterprises, and even the operation of the ammonia equipment shipped from Germany could not be taken into account for the time being, so Chen Wenqiang held an emergency meeting with Wu Luzhen, Wan Fuhua and others to discuss the most important revolutionary events.

"Guangdong Patrol Police General Office, this is not a good messenger." Wu Luzhen threw a thick piece of information to Chen Wenqiang and shook his head again and again. Chen Wenqiang had already sent a telegram to the General Staff Headquarters to prepare it.

"Isn't it just banditry?" Chen Wenqiang smiled nonchalantly, "How can you justifiably expand the number of people and strengthen the armament without chaos?" ”

"The problem of bandits is very complicated, let's talk about this later, let's discuss the topic first!" Wan Fuhua diverted the topic and took out the documents. It is both a report and an explanation, and the whole situation is explained again.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you. Although the Southwest Revolutionary Army won the rainy season to rest, train, and operate, the Qing court continued to transfer troops, and the armies of Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and even Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all gathering in Yunnan and Guangxi. Although it is unlikely that an offensive will be launched during the rainy season, if the Qing army is allowed to weave a large net, the siege will be completed. It was obviously unfavorable to the revolutionary army.

"Even if a major attack cannot be launched during the rainy season, the revolutionary army cannot allow the enemy to move calmly." Wu Luzhen took out the military plan that had been formulated, drew it on the map, and finally stayed in the area of Fangcheng and Qinzhou, "or another major replenishment of materials is also an important condition for continuing to persevere." ”

Chen Wenqiang was silent for the time being, looked at the military plan, and only raised his head for a long time before he said, "Take turns to rest and recuperate." Take turns to fight and choose its weakness. Focus on offense. Very well, I don't have any opinion. As for the replenishment of supplies-" After a pause, he said uncertainly: "If the revolutionary army can open up the sea again, it is not impossible!" ”

"In addition to supplies, there are also military salaries." Wan Fuhua smiled bitterly and said, "This is also something that can't be helped. Every soldier cannot be expected to be a committed revolutionary who treats money as nothing. ”

Chen Wenqiang nodded, and suddenly smiled: "There is something you don't know yet, I'll report it now." That is the joint venture bank that has already lent 500,000 yuan to the Qing army to 'exterminate the chaotic party'. ”

Wu Luzhen and Wan Fuhua were stunned, staring at Chen Wenqiang with wide eyes.

"That's right. That's what I mean. Chen Wenqiang smiled more intriguingly, "There is a promotion fee for the transfer of the army, and there are some other expenses, the Qing court has no money, and the place is also difficult, we have to help, right?" ”

Wu Luzhen was just about to open his mouth to ask, but Wan Fuhua stretched out his hand to stop him, looked at Chen Wenqiang thoughtfully, and guessed: "You guy, you must be playing some tricks." It is estimated that the money borrowed is worth the money, and it must have benefited a lot. Also, I'm afraid this is also related to the revolutionary army, right? ”

Chen Wenqiang stretched out his hand and nodded Wan Fuhua, bowed his head slightly, and said, "You know me." That's right, it's not easy. Do you remember that when the revolutionary army was in trouble, it secretly carried hundreds of thousands of banknotes? In order to make these banknotes pay for the army, or to buy supplies and forage, I had to make this decision. ”

Wu Luzhen was still a little confused, Wan Fuhua pondered for a while, patted his thigh, and suddenly said: "Currency circulation." The Qing army took these banknotes to the war zone to spend them, which made the banknotes have circulation value in the civilian and commercial circles. In this way, the revolutionary army can also justify the spending. ”

"yes, that's the idea." Chen Wenqiang pointed out on the map with his hand, "Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Guangdong, as well as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, 50,000 yuan per province." Since the Qing court borrowed this money, it was necessary to ensure that the banknotes could be circulated and used. In this way, not only will the hundreds of thousands of yuan in the hands of the revolutionary army now have value, but we can also use banknotes to support it in the future. ”

"Not only did you show your loyalty to the Qing court, reap the benefits, but also solved the problem of funding for the revolutionary army, I don't know what your head thinks?" Wan Fuhua sighed and shook his head again and again.

"Then it depends on the ability of the revolutionary army and the command of Lao Wu." Chen Wenqiang raised his eyebrows, "Although the problem seems to be solved for the time being, there is also a quota for the issuance of banknotes." Therefore, it is still necessary to strictly implement the principles and tactics of self-reliance and warfare through war. ”

"That's what I understand." Wu Luzhen sighed for her own sluggishness, and also for the weirdness of Chen Wenqiang's thinking, "No one can compare to you when it comes to making money." Then let's continue to discuss the matter of supplies! Lao Wan, show Wen Qiang the hoarding of materials. ”

If the arsenal is running at full capacity, the rifle can produce 100 rifles per day and more than 100,000 bullets; Madsen light machine gun, one every two days, the craftsmanship is more proficient and exquisite; Imitations of Mauser pistols and Maxim heavy machine guns were also successful, with ten mobile phones per day. A heavy machine gun every five days is no problem; It is also normal to produce 100 grenades per day; There were also seventy-five-caliber mountain guns and field guns, which could also be manufactured under the supervision and help of German engineers.

It can be manufactured, but the arsenal is not running at full capacity. More precisely, the entire productive forces are not devoted to weapons and ammunition.

The more you produce, the more you make. The more you hoard, the more you put on money! In this regard, Chen Wenqiang is also very helpless. Because the weapons and ammunition produced by the arsenal cannot produce economic benefits and are not profitable. And what the factory has to rely on to maintain it can only be to create benefits with half of its production capacity to offset the consumption of weapons and ammunition production.

"12,000 Mauser rifles, 3,000 Hanyang-made, 320 Mauser pistols, 4.6 million bullets of all kinds. 60,000 grenades, 96 Madsen light machine guns, 11 Maxim heavy machine guns......"

Chen Wenqiang slowly heard the door, the production and manufacturing of various weapons and ammunition is not average, but biased. Bullets, grenades, light machine guns were apparently being manufactured in full force, while others were produced in much smaller quantities. It should be certain that the demand for front-line soldiers is the vane of production and manufacturing. Needless to say, the consumption of bullets is staggering; Grenades and light machine guns. It shows satisfactory power in battle.

"To be self-reliant and to feed the war with war, what is most needed on the front line is machinery and equipment for the production of weapons and ammunition." Wan Fuhua turned to Chen Wenqiang. smiled: "It's simple, you can make bullets, grenades, and repair guns." Although a set was shipped before, the production capacity could not meet the needs, and the raw materials were not enough. ”

It is indeed a relatively simple mechanical device. But it also got a great effect, and the revolutionary army was able to hold out for so long and win the battle, thanks to the reloading bullets.

"To be able to produce explosives, to be able to produce bullets. If the base areas can form a mechanism of basic self-sufficiency, the pressure will be greatly reduced. Chen Wenqiang gritted his teeth, "Okay, 8,000 Mauser rifles, 2,000 Hanyang-made, 200 pistols, 60 Madsen machine guns, 4 million bullets, all the grenades, and the necessary machinery and equipment." Well, thirty percent of the production capacity of the arsenal will be used for the production of munitions, and seventy percent will be transferred to civilian use. This is already my best effort, and if I continue like this, I will go bankrupt. ”

"To be able to support it to this extent, Wen Qiang's ability is really shocking and admirable." Wu Luzhen breathed a sigh of relief, this number is already very large, and it has fully met his psychological expectations, and the adjustment of the production capacity of the arsenal is indeed Chen Wenqiang's helpless move.

"The fundraising from overseas branches will be transferred to provide you with funds for your operation." Wan Fuhua gave Chen Wenqiang a good news, "Yazhou's tax expenditure has been balanced, and there may be a surplus this year, which will also be paid to you for business purposes." In addition, grain production has also increased significantly, which can save a lot of money for outsourcing. ”

"Well, that's the way to take a long-term view." Chen Wenqiang was a little relieved and said: "Is it a long-term solution to dry up and fish? If you want to make the cake bigger and manage it well, your income will increase exponentially. ”

"The rest of the weapons and ammunition, it seems that you want to equip the patrol police." Wu Luzhen groaned and said: "We also have to transfer troops from Qiongzhou, and if we recruit and train now, the cost will be higher." ”

"Suppressing bandits can not only seize the force, but also expand financial resources, which can be regarded as a thing that can kill two birds with one stone!" Chen Wenqiang said slowly: "Xu Chunshan and Li Jiajun, send one or two as my assistants, they are from the party, and they should have a lot of convenience." As for the soldiers in Yazhou, they should also be pulled out for exercise. ”

"People, it's no problem for you." Wu Luzhen pursed her lips and said, "As for the soldiers, they can also pull out 1,800 of them, but this exercise is not necessary." Do you think they're idle, and I, a Qiongya soldier, don't do anything? You ask Lao Wan, the party and bandits in Qiongzhou have been almost suppressed. ”

"Shangguan admires Lao Wu's talent very much, and he may have been a little suspicious and vigilant in the past, but now it should have all been eliminated." Wan Fuhua said with a smile: "Zhang Renjun still intends to promote Lao Wu to be the land commander of Guangdong!" ”

"Land Admiral? Is it going to be reset? Chen Wenqiang really didn't know about this, and asked suspiciously: "What does Zhang Renjun mean, do you want to share Li Zhun's power?" ”

Historically, Guangdong was far from the center of Qing Dynasty rule, and as a corner of the south, it provided unique geographical conditions for the secession of local forces. At the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the post of governor of Guangdong was set up, which provided strong military support for the suppression of rebellions and the stabilization of the locality. At the same time, to a certain extent, the military pressure of the local governors and governors was shared, and the local powers of the two were separated, which served as the ruling tools of the Qing court to defend the localities.

Due to the busy military affairs of the governor of Guangdong, he was immaculate, and during the Kangxi period, the imperial court set up a member of the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, stationed in Shunde; In the fourteenth year of Jiaqing, he changed to a land commander, and relocated a water division to Humen; Guangxu thirty-three years, and it is one.

At present, there is only Li Zhun, the commander of the naval division in Guangdong, who not only commands the river and navy divisions and patrol warships, but also concurrently commands the Guangdong patrol battalion, which can be said to be in the hands of the army and the navy. Zhang Renjun wanted to set up a land governor, but he had to think of dividing Li Zhun's power, or being dissatisfied with Li Zhun.

"Maybe it means so." Wu Luzhen speculated and analyzed: "There may be other reasons: for example, Li Zhun is now commanding troops in the area of Fangcheng and Qinzhou, and the defense of Guangdong is somewhat weak; For example, the League will launch uprisings in Huanggang and Qinu Lake; For example, bandits are rampant, provincial cities are restless, and so on. ”

"Maybe it's not all about the new army either." Chen Wenqiang gradually clarified his thinking, "In the southwest, the Guangdong New Army was infiltrated and collapsed before it could play a role, which may have sounded the alarm for Zhang Renjun." ”

"It should be due to a number of considerations." Wan Fuhua agreed and said: "It's just that the official position of Qiongya Bingbei Dao is related to the safety of the Qiongzhou base, and Lao Wu can't leave without permission." ”

"Can't Xu Chunshan and Li Jiajun take over?" Chen Wenqiang asked suspiciously: "Who is Zhang Renjun going to send?" ”

"Wu Zongyu, commander of the Guangdong patrol battalion." Wu Luzhen smiled and said, "If Xu Chunshan or Li Jiajun can take over the Qiongya Soldiers, I would like to go to Guangdong to pull out another team." ”

"It's really not appropriate to leave." Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly and said, "Then let me go to Guangdong, patrol police, I want to make them more powerful than the army." ”

"Fighting bandits is no easier than leading troops into battle." Wu Luzhen pointed to the thick information, "You go back and take a closer look, the bandits in Guangdong are very complicated, and it is difficult to suppress them by military means alone." ”

"It's that serious." Chen Wenqiang is not very convinced of this.
