Chapter 193: Fifty Thousand Coolies
Wang Chaoyong held a revolver in his hand, looked coldly at the person who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and thought in his heart, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The soldiers rushed into the hall and completely controlled the situation in the entire hall, aiming their guns at Ma Shiying and the others one by one, what is very strange is that Ma Shiying did not beg for mercy, and his face was not afraid, on the contrary, he was relatively calm.
Wang Chaoyong was slightly surprised, and after recognizing Ma Shiying, Wang Chaoyong said: "You are Ma Shiying?" ”
Ma Shiying got up and said slowly: "I am Ma Shiying, you are too lawless, I want to go to Beijing, I want to face the saint, I want to sue Zhang Feng." ”
Wang Chaoyong smiled, it turned out that this Ma Shiying had not figured out the situation until now, and thought that Wang Chaoyong would not dare to kill him, and he still fantasized about going to Beijing to face the saint.
"Idiot!"
Wang Chaoyong reminded: "Ma Shiying, it can be seen that you haven't figured out the situation yet, you still want to go to Beijing, dream, come here, pull me out and kill me." ”
What, pull it out and kill!
Suddenly, many people's faces changed greatly, if even Ma Shiying said that he would kill him, then his own people would have no reason to live at all, and they would definitely be killed.
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
"Plop, plop ......"
Soon, there were many people kneeling down and begging for mercy, these people were afraid of death, if it weren't for the fear of death, they wouldn't have run to Fengyang Mansion at the beginning, and they wouldn't have hid under Ma Shiying's command.
Ma Shiying seemed to understand something, knowing that Wang Chaoyong was actually going to kill him, Ma Shiying's face changed, a little pale, stiffened his neck, and bluffed: "You... You are too bold, I am an official of the imperial court, and I am the governor of Fengyang. ”
Wang Chaoyong took two steps forward, took his revolver, and said loudly: "What I killed today is you, the governor of Fengyang." ”
Before coming to Fengyang, Zhang Feng specially confessed that Ma Shiying must be killed, and those generals and military attachés who ran out of the guards to defect to Ma Shiying must also be killed, Wang Chaoyong must resolutely carry out Zhang Feng's order and prepare to shoot Ma Shiying.
Seeing Wang Chaoyong walking towards him, the muzzle of the black hole hole was pointed at him, Ma Shiying was finally afraid, knowing that Wang Chaoyong really dared to kill him, and Wang Chaoyong didn't care if he was a governor or not.
"I... I want to see Mr. Zhang, I want to see Mr. Zhang! Ma Shiying shouted, there was obviously a bit of horror in the shouting, and the others heard Ma Shiying's shouting, and their hearts were startled, and many people begged for mercy, begging the dynasty to spare themselves.
Wang Chaoyong said slowly: "It's late, how can you see the chief soldier, you must die today!" ”
After speaking, Wang Chaoyong pulled the trigger, and with a "bang" gunshot, the bullet whistled out from the muzzle of the revolver and hit Ma Shiying's chest, blood splashed, almost piercing Ma Shiying's chest with one shot, "bang, bang" and two more shots in succession, a total of three shots, Ma Shiying was killed on the spot.
After firing these three shots, Wang Chaoyong seemed to smell a smell of urine, Wang Chaoyong looked at it, and there was actually a person who was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot, and a large piece of wet crotch was still dripping pee.
Wang Chaoyong waved his hand and said: "Shoot, kill them all, don't leave a single one!" ”
Suddenly, the gunshots rang out intensively, the hall was filled with gunsmoke, filled with a strong smell of blood, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, all of whom were killed from Ma Shiying down.
Then, it was to raid the house, confiscate Ma Shiying's property, clear the remnants of the enemy, and a few days later, hundreds of carriages, full of gold, silver or materials, everyone began to leave Fengyang Mansion.
According to Zhang Feng's instructions, an infantry brigade was left to garrison Fengyang, and the rest of the soldiers began to return, in addition to a large amount of gold, silver and supplies, there were more than 20,000 prisoners.
More than 20,000 captives will be escorted back and let them work as coolies for two years, Wang Chaoyong said in front of these prisoners, don't have any half-heartedness, don't have any idea of escaping, honestly do two years of coolies, and everyone will be released at the end of two years.
He didn't lose his life, he wasn't killed, he just worked as a coolie for two years, and after two years he was freed, and more than 20,000 prisoners, basically honestly, went south under the escort of the soldiers.
………
Zhang Feng returned to Songjiang Mansion a day earlier than Wang Chaoyong, after Wang Chaoyong returned, he immediately went to the General Headquarters to report to Zhang Feng, since he wanted to train the new army, after the establishment of the General Headquarters, the General Military Mansion has been changed to the General Headquarters,
Wang Chaoyong strode into the hall of the headquarters and said loudly: "Commander-in-chief, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and things were done quite beautifully." ”
Zhang Feng's trip to North Korea was also very fruitful, Zhang Feng was in a good mood, and immediately asked: "Chief of General Staff Wang, tell me about your trip to Fengyang." ”
Wang Chaoyong reported in more detail, killed thousands of enemies, captured more than 20,000 people, from Ma Shiying to those generals, military attaches basically all killed, confiscated Ma Shiying's family property, plus the seizure, and confiscated the family property of some of Ma Shiying's subordinates, a total of more than 800,000 taels of silver, more than 60,000 taels of gold and so on.
Things went smoothly and did a good job, Zhang Feng praised Wang Chaoyong, promised to be rewarded, and a large amount of gold and silver came in, which was really timely and could be used for construction, such as the expansion of Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant, the construction of Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, the construction of railways, the construction of Jinling Arsenal and so on.
More than 20,000 prisoners, plus 30,000 Korean prisoners, so that there are more than 50,000 coolies, this is a new force, whether it is the construction of railways, the expansion of steel plants, or the construction of arsenals, the speed will be greatly accelerated.
A few days later.
At the construction site of the railway from Suzhou to Changzhou, a large group of people arrived, escorted by a small number of soldiers with guns, these people, absolutely different from ordinary people, looked like hundreds or thousands of people, all wearing uniform gray vests, with prominent Arabic numerals on the backs of the vests.
These were the first batch of Korean coolies to go to the railway construction site, uniformly numbered, uniformly dressed in gray vests, uniformly guarded, who came in the morning to participate in the labor, participated in the construction of the railway, and were escorted back by the soldiers in the evening.
On the construction site, there are a lot of people, these people are the people in the vicinity, everyone wears the clothes of the people, and they wear all kinds of clothes, because they are ordinary people, naturally they don't need the soldiers to take guns to supervise the work, only some stewards arrange everyone to work.
"What kind of person is that, I've never seen it before?"
"Well, it looks so strange, all of them are wearing the same clothes, and there are numbers on the backs of the clothes, and the soldiers are looking at them with guns."
"They are all young and strong, unlike us who have women and people in their forties."
“……”
Everyone is very curious, while working, while quietly discussing a few times, if it is not clear, not allowed to approach, it is estimated that many people will not be able to help but ask.
At noon, when it was time to eat, everyone was also separated, those North Korean coolies were eating in the distance, and many people craned their necks to look, their food seemed to be inferior to their own, as if it was basically coarse grain, not like themselves, with white rice, green vegetables, and fullness.
In the afternoon, the news gradually spread, and everyone gradually learned that these people, who were dressed in uniform clothes and numbered, were all North Korean coolies.
"Oh, that's what happened!"
After everyone gradually understood, the curiosity gradually faded, what to do or what to do, but with a large number of coolies joining, the construction of the railway progressed much faster.
Not only here are coolies, but there are also a large number of coolies in other places involved in the construction of railways, and the coolies involved in the construction of railways totaling tens of thousands, not only in railway construction, mine mining, factory construction, military camp construction, etc., but also a large number of coolies, wearing uniform gray vests, numbered, and guarded by soldiers.
Zhang Feng was engaged in construction, and bad news came from the north, Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops captured Tongguan, Sun Chuanting was killed in battle, and Li Zicheng moved into Shaanxi and controlled Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces.
The court died, and the Ming Dynasty died!
Zhang Feng knew that with Sun Chuanting's death in battle, Sun Chuanting's group of Shaanxi soldiers also died and fled, and the Ming Dynasty no longer had the strength to resist Li Zicheng, and the destruction was imminent.

In the winter of the 14th year of Chongzhen, the railway line from Shanghai Railway Station to Changzhou was completed and opened to traffic, with more than 50,000 laborers in hand, adhering to the principle of not wasting and letting them have work every day, Zhang Feng started the construction of the railway to Nanjing.
If the railway to Nanjing is completed, plus the section of the railway that has now been built, it will be the completion of the Shanghai-Nanjing line, that is, the railway from Shanghai Railway Station to Nanjing Railway Station.
In fact, the Shanghai-Nanjing line has long begun line exploration, and has been completed, but there is no construction, as soon as the construction starts, immediately excavate the earthwork, erect bridges, build stations and so on.
A month ago, Zhang Feng gave Zhao Zuolin and Song Yingxing a large number of design drawings, all of which were designed by Zhang Feng with hard work and combined with his own technology and knowledge.
This is the drawing of some molds, used to produce copper shell bullet molds, the revolver is used in copper shell bullets, there is already a certain experience and foundation in the production of copper shell bullets, if there are these molds, plus steam power punches, you can produce copper shell bullets in batches with higher output.
Compared with the paper shell bullets that are now commonly used and widely used, the advantages of copper shell bullets are naturally self-evident, and they are much better than paper shell bullets.
In the future, there will definitely be a big war, and Zhang Feng plans to mass produce copper-shelled bombs in the process of participating in the world's competition.
As soon as you enter the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, you can clearly feel the busyness, one by one in the factory, many people are busy, and the roar of the machine comes into the ears from time to time.
Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau has also been expanded, the scale is larger than before, the production capacity is also larger, and it is not far from the Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant, there are enough steel and other raw materials, and now it is one of the main forces in the production and manufacture of guns, and Xiaoqingshan Arsenal, every day to manufacture a lot of rear-loading guns, produce a lot of paper shells, etc., of course, Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau also manufactures all kinds of steam engines, but also manufactures locomotives.
Zhang Feng seemed to know that Zhao Zuolin and the others were there, Zhang Feng walked towards one of the delivery rooms, and when he walked into this factory, Zhang Feng soon saw a lot of people gathered there, including Zhao Zuolin and Song Yingxing.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng walked over quickly.
