Early in the morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the window and shone on the bed.

Wang Bin, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, thinking about some of the things that had happened in the past few days.

The day before yesterday, after calling Sun Chuanfang to the office, he instructed Sun Chuanfang to be responsible for delivering goods in the transaction with the Russians while concurrently serving as the captain of the anti-bandit detachment.

After explaining these things, Wang Bin suddenly felt much more relaxed.

All I need to do now is to keep an eye on the progress of this arsenal every day.

The day after Vladimir's departure, the city of Jinzhou welcomed a group of technicians from Siberia.

With the help of accompanying translators, the technicians began to instruct Wang Bin to pick out some literate soldiers to get a preliminary understanding of the machines.

Wang Bin also determined the construction site of the arsenal on this day, and Wang Bin pondered the construction of the arsenal outside Jinzhou City.

After personally surveying the terrain, Wang Bin chose the location of the arsenal next to a valley outside the city.

And two teams of infantry were also sent along the valley.

For the construction of the arsenal, Wang Bin did not invite anyone to design it, and he was managing it himself.

Since the construction of this arsenal could not draw too many people from the military camp to participate, Wang Bin recruited a group of craftsmen from Jinzhou City.

Although the wages of these craftsmen on weekdays are not high, they are much higher than in other places, and it is not a problem to feed the family, so Wang Bin recruited a large number of craftsmen in the city.

Now Wang Bin, when you first arrived in Jinzhou City, it was much easier, the training of the new army has been on the right path, and the bandits around here have almost been eliminated.

Moreover, the purge of bandits also brought Wang Bin an extra income, according to the statistics of Ma Zikai and Sun Chuanfang, a total of six bandit cottages and several sporadic bandits were exterminated around Jinzhou.

These bandits alone brought Wang Bin an income of 50,000 taels, and as for this extra income, Wang Bin put it away first as a spare piece of silver, in case the money was not enough one day.

Wang Bin was lying on the bed thinking a lot and didn't know what he should do today, so he simply stayed at home and read a book.

Facing the morning light, Wang Bin sat in the study and looked at the "Theory of War" in his hand, and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" was placed on the side.

In Wang Bin's opinion, this book is an excellent book in this era, and it may only be comparable to "The Art of War".

Both sides are the originators of Eastern and Western military theories, and "The Art of War" is the culmination of the masterpiece, while "On War" is written on the basis of summarizing previous wars, revealing the essence of the subordination of war to politics.

In his previous life, when Wang Bin read this "On War", he had a very deep impression of the sentence "War is nothing more than the continuation of politics through another means".

Therefore, in this era, when Wang Bin is fine, he will take out "The Art of War" and "On War" to read.

Looking at the decisive blow emphasized in the "Theory of War" in his hand, as well as surprise attacks, pursuits, and increasing combat strength as much as possible, these are all things that Wang Bin wants his troops to do.

When an army can have a high degree of discipline and tenacious spirit, it can be called elite when it can do the above points.

Wang Bin looked at "On War" and suddenly found that he was afraid that he would not be able to have an easy day today.

When Wang Bin saw the emphasis in "On War" on increasing combat strength as much as possible, Wang Bin always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, so he kept thinking about it, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten about artillery all along.

So Wang Bin looked out the window, and if he went to do this now, he estimated that he would be able to come back before noon, so he tidied up his clothes and went out and walked towards the warehouse.

After arriving at the warehouse, Wang Bin ordered the soldiers at the door not to enter as he had done last time, and then he entered the warehouse alone and began to copy the artillery.

As before, Wang Bin felt a little groggy when he copied the seventh cannon, and rested for a while while holding on to the wall on the side before relieving himself.

Wang Bin, who had eased up, sensed the space as soon as possible, and sure enough, restrictions began to appear as before.

M1897 75mm field guns: 600 guns (7 used, 593 remaining)

But even if it's a limitation, it's enough for early development.

After the replication of the artillery was completed, Wang Bin pondered that it would be better to ask the people from the artillery battalion to come and pick it up in a few days, otherwise he would take out some weapons from the warehouse every day, and there would always be people who would be curious about what was in the warehouse.

After making up his mind, Wang Bin just rested in the warehouse for a while and walked out of the warehouse, Wang Bin who walked out of the warehouse looked at the sky It was almost noon, Wang Bin thought in his heart that it was time to go back.

Wang Bin, who was walking on the way home, was stunned when he arrived at the door of the house, thinking that he had no guests today, why was there an extra carriage in front of the door?

So Wang Bin hurriedly walked forward, and when he arrived at the carriage, a memory suddenly appeared in his mind after Wang Bin saw the man driving.

In Wang Bin's memory, the person who drove the car was the housekeeper of his own family, named Wang Fu, who was extremely kind, and the people below always liked to call him Fubo, who should be in his fifties this year, and he has always been responsible for the family's affairs.

But hasn't this Fauber always been behind his cheap daddy?

Wang Bin suddenly thought of a possibility, it wouldn't be his cheap daddy, right?

However, this next sentence of Fu Bo immediately reassured Wang Bin.

"Young master, you are back, this door has not been opened, and the old servant doesn't know where to find you, so he has to stay here and wait for the young master to come back."

Fu Bo said to Wang Bin with some eagerness.

After listening to Fu Bo's words, Wang Bin asked with some doubts, "Fu Bo, you are not staying in your hometown in Jinan Mansion, why do you have time to come to me?" ”

Fu Bo said after listening to Wang Bin's words

"Young master, the old servant originally went to Shanhaiguan with the old man to visit the old master this time, but I don't know what's going on, when the old man visited the old man, he suddenly remembered that he wanted to come to Jinzhou to meet the young master, this is not called the old servant to come to Jinzhou to find the young master first."

Wang Bin was a little puzzled after hearing this, but he felt a little bad when he saw such an old man standing and talking to him.

So he beckoned Fauber to come in.

After Fu Bo introduced the carriage into the mansion, Wang Bin beckoned Fu Bo to sit down and asked

"Fu Bo, who is the old man visiting in Shanhaiguan this time?"

This now makes Wang Bin feel a little strange about what dad and father are called, and it is more pleasant to call this old man.

After listening to Wang Bin's words, Fu Bo said, "Young master, my lord went to Shanhaiguan this time to visit Wang Yingkai Wang, but I don't know why I want to come to Jinzhou. “

Fu Bo was a little puzzled as he spoke, but Wang Bin knew why.

In the name of his own old man, he said that his old man had purchased a large amount of arms for himself, and the people in this officialdom knew more or less about it, but he later informed the imperial court about this matter, and he was training the new army to buy military arms.

So the court didn't say anything, and this old man suddenly went to visit Wang Yingkai, so he naturally knew it.

If you want to come, the old man must have come to Jinzhou for this matter.

So Wang Bin then asked Fu Bo to stay in the mansion first, and waited for the arrival of the old man in a few days.
