Chapter 61 Three Mining Areas

Of the iron miners and gold miners who were arrested in Laoniugou and Heshantun, only a very few were willing to stay and accept employment, and the others asked to leave. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Mengqi asked the two of them to leave behind the 20 newly recruited guards they brought with them, and arranged to be stationed in two places respectively, and then both of them took the 30 members of their team back to Weishahe Xinzhuang to continue training in actual combat to catch bandits and hunting nearby.

The iron miners and gold miners who were willing to stay in the two places, as well as the gold miners who agreed to stay in the old gold factory, were all handed over to Menggen to be responsible for the arrangement and management. Mengku also took 30 members of his team back to Weishahe Xinzhuang, and together with Menggeng Menghuan, they continued to carry out actual combat hunting training in the vicinity. Meng Gong was responsible for the garrison arrangement and training of all new guards in the three places, as well as the blocking of roads.

After a detailed exploration and investigation of the three places, Mengqi took the guards to return to the old gold factory to seal the road and set up a card, and asked the guards stationed here not to let a person in the mountain area go out of this place, let alone transport out any goods and items, and if someone outside wants to enter, they can be released, but it is also forbidden to bring any materials and goods into the country, and they are also not allowed to go out when they want to go out again.

For those who dare to break through the level, they will all be arrested and handed over to Menggen, and let him arrange for these arrested people to go to mining; If anyone dares to forcibly break through or resist, they will be suppressed and all materials and goods will be confiscated. Mengqi intends to set up a long-term checkpoint here, he also let Menggong negotiate with Menggen, transfer some craftsmen and casual workers from Weishahe Village, transport some tools and utensils, and set up a card seal road on the front and back sides of the old gold factory at the intersection, respectively, built into a double-layer thick log road thick earth and stone sandwich wall, and the wall wall is also installed with two large log wall doors, and the wall door is basically closed all day, the front and rear doors are arranged with a total of 60 guards, and the dog is patrolled and defended in the wall door in turn, so far Mengqi completely closed the old gold factory road temporarily.

Mengqi's operation not only occupied three mining areas, but also seized tens of thousands of property, and laid the groundwork for the invasion of the gold mine in this place.

After the attack on the Miaolingtun regimental training department of the Hanjia family yesterday, the remaining small regimental training personnel in Miaolingtun are still in a state of chaos during the day today; The regimental training that fled dozens of miles from the old gold factory and went to the Miaolingtun regimental training department to report to the police, and even the leader who could be the master could not be found, and there was chaos everywhere, and some small leaders could not be the master at all, and everyone had no idea for a while.

Fortunately, what happened here and the old gold factory, because the time is too short, has not yet spread to the mining area and the surrounding places, otherwise it will have to be a big chaos, but even so, the group exercises here no longer know how to deal with these things, and everyone is panicked and has no opinion.

Mengqi asked Menggen and Menggong to lead a total of 120 guards in the three places to cooperate with each other to deal with the affairs of the three places. In particular, Menggen and his father and uncle have studied and managed gold mine affairs for many years, and they have grown up in the mining area since they were children.

And Mengqi greeted Uncle Mo before the action, and Uncle Mo also arranged another subordinate from Lingqiantun for many years, and brought 10 guards together with the 10 guards left behind in Xinshengtun to be responsible for the protection of Xinshengtun.

Menggen can give orders in these three new places with his hands and feet, Menggong brings many new guards to cooperate, and all arrangements continue, Mengqi himself returned to Weishahe Xinzhuang with his own guards, and he still has to consider many affairs arranged ****** ammunition production equipment.

The propellant factory was originally planned to be placed in Heshantun, because the production and development of the latest smokeless gunpowder ****** would still be dangerous, and it could not be produced in Weishahe Xinzhuang, where there were many people living here, and the safety factor would be very low; If it is placed in the river and mountain tun, there is no need to worry too much about any danger; Heshantun is in the old cow ditch, isolated from the outside world, in addition to the gold miners and metal miners in the small mine, there are only a few guards, few people are also safe, outsiders want to enter the need to pass through the old gold factory first, and then enter the old cow ditch, and finally the river and mountain tun; There are two security protections in front, plus the guards in the tun, there is absolutely no problem with security.

The ammunition assembly and reassembly production plant is considered to be placed in the third cave, where there is underground river water, and it is convenient for boilers to use water, so that the ammunition produced and assembled can be directly transported to the reservoir area in the second cave for storage, which is safe and convenient; The only problem is that the smoke exhaust of the power boiler and the ventilation in the cave need to be solved, this problem is a bit serious, and it is not easy to solve!

I dreamed of finding two good blacksmiths and two of the best carpenters, and together we went to the cave to investigate and find a way. After looking around the crowd, a carpenter came up with a solution to the ventilation; Using the log partition walls on both sides of the middle passage that has been built in the cave, the log is raised to the vicinity of the cave roof in sections, and erected into a large wooden frame with a long roof; Then on the wooden shelf, use a wide and thick long plank to make a wooden ventilation channel with a diameter of more than half a meter, the ventilation channel has been leading to the outside of the cave, and is directly connected to the top of the big mountain above the mouth of the cave, and can be connected to the mountain for 100 meters.

This kind of soil method is not bad, and it is not difficult to seal the ventilation duct of the thick wooden plank, and I thought about it after listening to it: if it is applied to the vent inside, and a simple steam-powered iron exhaust fan blade is added, then the air circulation problem in the cave can be solved.

I dreamed and thought: In fact, this method can also be used for smoke exhaust, but this exhaust flue is also a bit too long, more than seven miles and more than 3,000 meters long, and the exhaust flue near the boiler cannot be made of wood, it will catch fire! However, if it was made of iron, there would not have been so many thin pieces of iron or thin iron sheets in those days, and it would have been impossible and unrealistic to rely on the hammers of blacksmiths.

By the way, after a stage, there can be 400 empty ash barrels that can be used, so that the blacksmiths can connect them one by one, and it will not be very difficult, and it can be completely wasted, and the 400 empty iron barrels are connected for more than 200 meters. But it's not very safe after more than 200 meters, it seems that you still need to get some more iron buckets back, and you have to go 1,800 meters to be safe.

After thinking about it, he asked the blacksmith and carpenter to go back to prepare first, and he went back to the ravine to find Uncle Shen Feng, and told Shen Feng about the erection of the smoke exhaust ventilation channel in the cave......
