Chapter 61: King Qin, Jingjing
The tolerance sent by Tan Yixian soon arrived, and when Zhang Feng heard that Tan Yixian invited him to go to the government to talk about business, he immediately realized what was the matter, and Zhang Feng soon arrived at the Songjiang Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The back hall of the government.
Tan Yixian made tea and was waiting there for a long time, and when he saw Zhang Feng coming in, Tan Yixian actually got up and said enthusiastically: "Boss Zhang, come over so soon." β
Seeing that Tan Yixian was warm and polite, Zhang Feng hugged his fists and said: "Lord Tan is calling, don't dare to slack off, put down all affairs, and come over non-stop." β
The two exchanged polite greetings, and even Tan Yixian asked about the Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant and the shipyard, and even Tan Yixian asked about the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau that was being built.
In order to develop and manufacture all kinds of machinery and equipment, especially steam engines, and now there is enough steel, Zhang Feng is preparing to build Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, which has completed the site selection, and the factory building and building have begun to break ground.
Zhang Feng said: "Lord Tan, you are really well-informed, the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau has begun to prepare, and it is estimated that it will be basically completed in three or five months." β
After the two chatted for a cup of tea, Tan Yixian changed his words and said with a straight face: "Boss Zhang, I came to you this time to have something serious, it's like this......"
Tan Yi first explained the situation in the capital, and then said: "Boss Zhang, you are the chief soldier of our Songjiang Mansion, what I mean is that you and the soldiers of the guard, led by Lord Tan Weidong, will immediately go to the Beijing Division, drive out the Tartars, and serve the emperor and the Ming Dynasty." β
Seeing Tan Yixian's righteous words, which were serious, Zhang Feng smiled lightly.
Zhang Feng said modestly: "Lord Tan, you are serious, we are just a group exercise, drive out the Tartars, and serve the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, which is the business of the military attachΓ©s, and the affairs of the Ming officials and soldiers." β
Even if Zhang Feng has plans to go to the battlefield, he can't say it right away, and he must shirk it, so Zhang Feng said so.
Tan Yixian said solemnly: "Boss Zhang, this is bad, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." β
Zhang Feng said: "Lord Tan, you also know that we are just a team training, no one has ever been on the battlefield, in terms of combat effectiveness, we can only be regarded as third-rate, maybe not even third-rate, the battlefield sword has no eyes, like us, we can only act as cannon fodder on the battlefield, and it is completely a role to die." β
When Zhang Feng said this, Tan Yi stood up first, frowned and pondered, and walked around the back hall, while Zhang Feng was very calm, drinking tea slowly.
Tan Yixian had never been to the Xiaoqingshan military camp, and he had almost no contact with Zhang Feng's regimental training, but he had only heard some information, and knew that Zhang Feng's regimental training soldiers did not even have armor, almost no war horses, and few swords, and I heard that all the muskets were used.
There were muskets in the early Ming Dynasty, this thing is not a rare thing, but this thing has not been of great use, and it is not as good as a bow and arrow when it is really on the battlefield, as a civilian official, Tan Yixian also thinks the same as everyone.
Now is the era of cold weapons, the world of completely cold weapons, basically no one attaches importance to muskets, even if Zhang Feng's troops are equipped with flintlock muskets, but ordinary people do not understand flintlock muskets, subconsciously think that this should be the same thing as arquebuses, not much stronger than burning sticks.
Walking around and pondering for a long time, Tan Yixian's tone gradually hardened, and the prefect's momentum and shelf were completely put on display, and he said toughly: "Boss Zhang, as a group training officer of Songjiang Mansion, you should listen to my words." β
Zhang Feng said: "Lord Tan, of course. β
Tan Yi nodded first and said, "Okay, I ask you to go to the battlefield, gather the team immediately, and let them go to Beijing the day after tomorrow with Commander Tan." β
Seeing Tan Yixian say this, Zhang Feng smiled and began to talk about the conditions, Zhang Feng said solemnly: "Lord Tan, there is no problem with letting us go to the battlefield, but I have the conditions." β
Tan Yi said first: "Let's hear it." β
Zhang Feng said: "First, we don't set off with the soldiers of the guard, our people go directly to Tianjin Wei by boat, from Tianjin Wei to Jingshi, of course, we will play the banner of Songjiang Mansion regimental training, so that others know that we are soldiers of Songjiang Mansion." β
Tan Yi thought about it for a while and said, "There is no problem with this, I will communicate with Commander Tan later." β
Zhang Feng continued: "Lord Tan, we are efficient for the emperor this time, and we are serving the Ming Dynasty, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, I need a military salary of 100,000 taels of silver." β
Tan Yi pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay, there is no problem with 100,000 taels of silver." β
Zhang Feng was about to speak again, but Tan Yi waved his hand first and said, "Boss Zhang, with these two conditions, it is difficult for me to do more conditions." β
Tan Yixian once again understood Zhang Feng's power, and was afraid that Zhang Feng would open his mouth if he continued to speak, so he immediately stopped.
Zhang Feng smiled, didn't think about it, and easily got 100,000 taels of silver, 100,000 taels is not a small amount, Zhang Feng is very satisfied with this amount.
Zhang Feng originally planned to mention the third condition, the third condition is actually very simple, Tan Yi is easy to do first, and the third condition is that Tan Yi will fully support his own business in the future.
However, this time he went to Beijing to fight the Tartars, if Zhang Feng really established his military exploits, it is estimated that he would be crowned official, if Zhang Feng really has an official position, it will be much more convenient to handle industry in the future, and it doesn't matter if Tan Yixian supports it or not.
Tan Yixian agreed to both conditions, Zhang Feng was very happy, and after the government and Tan Yixian exchanged some details, Zhang Feng left the government with satisfaction.
β¦β¦β¦
Xiaoqingshan Barracks.
Now that the matter has been decided, Zhang Feng convened a meeting of the personnel above the company commander, and in the conference room, everyone sat neatly.
Today's Zhang Feng is also dressed in a neat military uniform, Zhang Feng with a dignified face sits at the top, Zhang Feng looked around the entire conference room, Zhang Feng has noticed that although everyone is also all positive, there are still some people who can't hide their excitement on their faces.
Everyone already knew that the troops were about to be drawn and would soon go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and some people were already completely excited.
After training for so long, it's time to go to the battlefield and see the real thing.
Zhang Feng looked around the entire conference room, and then said solemnly: "Everyone knows, the two soldiers and horses of the Tartars have already met in the Tongzhou area, and the soldiers are pointing directly at the Beijing division, everyone said, what's the matter?" β
"Go to the battlefield and kill the Tartars!"
"Kill the Tartar !!"
Everyone roared hard.
Zhang Feng pressed down slightly with his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down, all looking at Zhang Feng with blazing eyes.
Zhang Feng said loudly: "Order!" β
As soon as Zhang Feng's words fell, everyone stood up at once, the movements were very neat, Zhang Feng nodded slightly with satisfaction, for so long, everyone has not trained in vain.
Zhang Feng deployed a series of orders, ordering the troops to march tomorrow, go to the Wusong wharf in Shanghai to assemble, board the ship at the wharf, and go to Tianjin.
At the end of the meeting, the entire Xiaoqingshan military camp immediately became tense and busy, and the soldiers checked their weapons and equipment, wiped their guns, and packed up to prepare for departure.
Now it is a reinforced regiment, the commander of which is Wang Chaoyong, with three infantry battalions, a cavalry company, a guard company, a baggage company, and some auxiliary personnel.
According to Zhang Feng's order, the cavalry company temporarily stayed in the Xiaoqingshan barracks, the guard company left a platoon to stay in the regimental training headquarters, and most of the auxiliary personnel also stayed, so that about two or three hundred people remained.
The baggage company basically plays the role of logistics and transportation, and there is not much baggage at present, mainly ammunition, paper shell bullets, wooden-handled grenades, etc., and the baggage company acts as a transport team and sets off with the troops.
β¦β¦β¦
Wusong Wharf.
There are six large cargo ships docked, which are steam-powered 2,000 cargo ships, and this time, these six ships play the role of transport ships, transporting everyone from Wusong Wharf to Tianjin Port.
The shipyard was fast, and the sixth ship had just completed sea trials, which came in handy just in time to carry the fighters.
Flag hunting, Zhang Feng stood on the dock, behind him stood a colonel uniform, carrying a saber Wang Chaoyong, Zhang Feng was watching everyone board the ship.
"Commander, let's board the ship too."
Zhang Feng nodded, and Wang Chaoyong boarded one of the transport ships, at this moment, Zhang Feng's mood was excited, surging, and he was about to go to the battlefield!
"Woo!!"
As the whistle sounded, then the six transport ships left Wusong Wharf one by one, drove into the sea, sailed in formation, and headed towards Tianjin Port.
