The regimental training general military office. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Chaoyong came over again, from the Xiaoqingshan military camp to the regimental training general military mansion is not too far, a few miles of running is only twenty or thirty minutes, if you ride a horse, it will be faster, Wang Chaoyong is riding a horse.
Wang Chaoyong said: "Boss, this general military mansion is big enough, after we clean it up and tidy it up, it is grand enough, it's just that in such a big place, there are too few guard platoons." ”
The regimental training general military mansion used to be the house of a big official, but the descendants of this official were not angry, and their family was in the middle of the road, and they were bought by Zhang Feng at a low price not long ago.
Zhang Feng also felt that there were a little fewer people, and the General Military Mansion covered an area of more than ten acres, with a few entrances and exits, and at least one guard company should be stationed.
Zhang Feng nodded and said: "For the time being, there will be a guard platoon, and when our more than 1,000 recruits are trained, we will form a guard company, and let this guard company be responsible for the safety and security of the General Military Mansion." ”
The current General Military Office, a guard platoon, plus some auxiliary personnel, such as communication squads, service squads, cooking squads, etc., is only fifty or sixty people, Wang Chaoyong returned to the Xiaoqingshan barracks with a large army this morning, and now it seems a little empty and deserted.
Speaking of recruit training, Wang Chaoyong was interested, and said with great interest: "Boss, after our recruit training is completed, will I, the battalion commander, also become the regiment commander and the major become a colonel?" ”
After speaking, Wang Chaoyong still pulled his collar and shook his shoulders, the epaulettes on his shoulders are now majors, two bars and one star, this little star is silvery-white, sterling silver.
Listening to Zhang Feng say that the little star on the epaulette of the general's rank is golden, pure gold, Wang Chaoyong hopes that he will become a general one day.
However, the general is estimated to be a little far away, and Wang Chaoyong's immediate plan is to become a colonel and a regiment commander.
Zhang Feng smiled when he saw Wang Chaoyong's appearance, and Zhang Feng said: "Battalion Commander Wang, your task now is to train the troops and train my more than 1,000 recruits well." ”
Wang Chaoyong patted his chest and said: "Boss, don't worry, I have a very tight grasp of recruit training, ten recruit companies, I train them fiercely every day, and in a few days the queue training will be basically the same, it's time to enter the shooting training, but this musket is a little less." ”
The Xiaoqingshan Arsenal is only on the right track, and it is estimated that it will take one or two months to form an output, and now, the daily output of muskets is more than double that of the previous blacksmith's house, but there are more than a thousand recruits at once, and it is estimated that it will take several months for each recruit to be equipped with a musket.
Zhang Feng had no choice about this, and the output of the arsenal could only be increased slowly, now six or seven muskets per day, then nearly ten, a dozen guns per day, and finally reached the output of twenty or thirty guns per day.
However, Zhang Feng also knew that in addition to having enough craftsmen, there must also be enough raw materials, the raw materials for the manufacture of muskets are mainly wood (making butts) and fine iron, wood is easy to say, fine iron is more troublesome, Zhang Feng made a total of 7,000 catties of fine iron before and after, and it is estimated that the raw materials will be exhausted after manufacturing hundreds of muskets.
Lack of refined iron, after exterminating the Qinglong Gang, so that Zhang Feng seized the weapons of the Qinglong Gang, such as those swords and other things, all of them were transported to the Xiaoqingshan Arsenal, and returned to the furnace for rerefining.
Zhang Feng said: "The matter of muskets can only be done slowly, the shooting training of recruits can not be delayed, there are not enough muskets, everyone takes turns to use them, a group of people shoot training is completed, and the muskets are left for the next group of people for shooting training." ”
Wang Chao nodded a little, thinking in his heart, it can only be like this, it is estimated that in a few months, those soldiers under his command will each have a musket.
Thinking of these more than 1,000 recruits, Wang Chaoyong's interest came up again, and he immediately asked: "Boss, after the training of more than 1,000 recruits is completed, we will expand it." ”
In the past, more than 700 people were organized into a reinforced battalion, but now there are 2,000 new recruits, so it should be organized into a regiment anyway.
Obviously, Zhang Feng already had a plan in his heart, and Zhang Feng did not hide Wang Chaoyong, Zhang Feng said: "At that time, we will expand into an infantry regiment, under the jurisdiction of three reinforced infantry battalions, in addition, in addition to the expansion of the guard platoon of the regimental training headquarters into a guard company, I also plan to form a cavalry company, an artillery company." ”
With the development of hot weapons, especially the emergence of automatic weapons, such as the emergence of machine guns, the cavalry will decline, but now, the formation of cavalry is okay, the cavalry reacts quickly, acts quickly, a cavalry company, if it really goes to the battlefield, maybe it will receive miraculous results.
Wang Chaoyong said: "Boss, if you form a cavalry company, we don't have war horses, and if you form an artillery company, we don't have artillery." ”
Zhang Feng said: "Build the shelf first, if you have a war horse, you will always get it, and if you have a cannon, we will build it ourselves if we have the opportunity." ”
Wang Chaoyong nodded and said happily: "Boss, when the time comes, we will have cavalry, artillery, and an infantry regiment, and I, the battalion commander, will also become the regiment commander, which is great." ”
Zhang Feng patted Wang Chaoyong on the shoulder, "Chao Yong, work hard, in the future, it is possible for you to not only become a regiment commander, a division commander, a army commander, and a general." ”
Thinking of becoming a general, Wang Chaoyong's eyes lit up.
Zhang Feng's goal is very big, now is the troubled times, the last years of the Ming Dynasty, in a few years, the Qing army will enter the customs, the Ming Dynasty will fall, Zhang Feng must have a strong force in his hands.
However, everything must have money, and money is needed to build and develop the army, and after the extermination of the Blue Dragon Gang, Zhang Feng's original plan was to make a windfall, and after having sufficient funds, he would develop well, but now, Zhang Feng was slightly disappointed.
Wang Chaoyong also noticed the subtle change in Zhang Feng's expression while being happy, Wang Chaoyong said: "Boss, you are thinking about the Qinglong Gang, this Qinglong Gang is really strange, there is no silver, it is all some fixed assets, what shops, fields and the like, if you want to exchange it for cash, it will take a lot of effort." ”
Zhang Feng said slowly: "I have a hunch that the Qinglong Gang must have money, and there is a lot of money, which is either hidden in their headquarters or hidden in a certain place. ”
Wang Chaoyong said: "If it is hidden in the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Gang, then it is easy to say, if it is hidden somewhere outside, then we will probably be blind." ”
Zhang Feng said: "I've been thinking about it for a long time, it's more likely that this money is hidden in the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Gang, but it's very hidden, and we won't be able to find it for a while." ”
Wang Chaoyong said: "Boss, if I call Guan Peng over, that kid's nose belongs to a dog, and no matter how hidden the thing is, I guess he can find it." ”
"Oh." Zhang Feng was interested, and his eyes lit up, "Guan Peng still has such a ability, go and call him, and this task will be handed over to him." ”
The two were talking about Guan Peng, and it was a coincidence that Guan Peng happened to come over.
Seeing Guan Peng coming in, Zhang Feng immediately said, "Guan Peng, there is just a task that needs to be handed over to you." After speaking, Zhang Feng told the matter again.
After receiving the task, Guan Peng immediately started to act, and about half an hour later, Guan Peng happily ran over.
Seeing Guan Peng's happy face, Zhang Feng immediately asked, "Captain Guan, I found it." ”
"Found it, finally found it, Commander, you come with me."
Guan Peng led the way, Zhang Feng followed Wang Chaoyong to follow, everyone went to the headquarters of the Qinglong Gang together, passed through several houses, and came to the back garden, the back garden is very large, it is estimated that there is at least three or five acres of area, not only flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions, but also an artificial lake, there are rockeries.
The rockery of the garden is relatively large, the mystery is in the rockery, there is a mechanism inside, open the mechanism, expose a tunnel opening, an underground entrance to the underground, and go down the bluestone steps one by one.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng was a little excited in an instant, and he was very happy that he finally found it, and look at it like this, there is a large underground treasure house below.
Guan Peng took the lead in entering the underground entrance, went down the steps, and took out the fire fold to light the oil lamp on the stone wall, and suddenly, the entire tunnel lit up.
There are about dozens of steps, several zhang deep into the ground, all of them are made of large pieces of bluestone, after walking these steps, there is a large stone door in front of more than one person high, it looks very heavy, but this stone door also has a mechanism.
It is worthy of being a "spirit fox", Guan Peng easily opened the mechanism of the stone door, the stone door slowly opened, and inside was a hall, and in the hall, there were large boxes one by one, no need to think about it, this big box must be something valuable.
Sure enough, Zhang Feng happily walked over, opened one of the boxes, and was dazzled by the golden gold, and Wang Chaoyong was even more imageless and exclaimed, the kind with a loud voice.
"Oh my God, a whole box of gold ingots!"
"Boss! You see, this box is full of silver ingots! ”
"Boss! It's all jewelry! ”
“......”
Wang Chaoyong shouted and opened one box after another, which contained either gold and silver or jewelry, and even a box of calligraphy and painting antiques.
In addition to the hall, there are several small rooms, all of which are brave and boxy, large bluestone stone stone chambers, these stone chambers, are also large boxes, and the boxes also contain not a whole box of gold and silver or a whole box of jewelry and jade.
"Rich, rich!"
Zhang Feng almost shouted like Wang Chaoyong, so many things, it's so cool, Zhang Feng has been worrying about funds, and now, the problem of funds is solved.
Zhang Feng roughly estimated that the silver here is at least one million taels, maybe nearly two million taels, and there are at least tens of thousands of taels of gold.
Zhang Feng said happily: "Guan Peng, you have made a great contribution, I want to reward you well." ”
Guan Peng also smiled happily, but he didn't take credit, and said modestly: "Boss, it's a trivial matter, if you really want to reward me, I hope the boss will give me a sum of money for the intelligence team." ”
Intelligence work costs a lot of money, Guan Peng needs silver, and in addition, Guan Peng also wants to expand his intelligence team, so he put forward such a request.
Zhang Feng readily agreed, "There is no problem, this can be satisfied." ”
Wang Chaoyong came over and stammered: "Boss, what about me?" ”
Zhang Feng scolded with a smile: "You are really looking for opportunities, so let's do it, I will raise everyone's food again, and I will also take a sum of silver to reward those who perform well." ”
Wang Chaoyong was also very happy to get Zhang Feng's promise.
The three of them stayed in the basement for most of the hour, if it wasn't for Zhang Feng's urging, it is estimated that Wang Chaoyong would not want to go out.
After leaving the dark room and closing the organ, Zhang Feng and Wang Chaoyong happily returned to the combat hall of the regimental training general military office, and were about to deploy the next stage of recruit training, when a second lieutenant hurriedly ran in.
This second lieutenant is Zhang Feng's guard platoon commander Chen Tianbao, I saw Chen Tianbao hurriedly walked in, stood upright, saluted, and anxiously reported: "Lord General Soldier, no, there are many officers and soldiers, saying that it is the person who commands the envoy of the Songjiang Mansion, and he rushed straight into our General Soldier's Mansion, and a few soldiers on duty at the gate couldn't stop him." ”
