Chapter 51 Funding Questions

Zhou Hao returned to the camp account and summoned the major leaders of the Longwei Corps to prepare for a small meeting.

Zhou Hao said to the deputy commander Huang Shang: "How many people are in the army now, and the exact number?" ”

Huang Shang pondered: "Half a month ago, we lost fifty-six people in the battle with the White Tiger Hall, and now there are three thousand one hundred and thirteen people. ”

More than 3,000 people are considered a large armed force.

Zhou Hao immediately said: "Who is in charge of the weapons in the battalion?" ”

A white-skinned man got up and said, "In Xia Suxing, I am in charge of returning to the commander-in-chief." ”

Zhou Hao said: "Is the weapon built by yourself in the camp or is it out to buy?" ”

Su Xingdao: "Originally, the battalion invited five or six blacksmiths to build it by themselves, but later found that it could not meet the needs of the army, and then it was purchased. ”

Zhou Hao said: "Are there many places to sell weapons now?" ”

Su Xingdao: "A few years ago, the imperial court forbade the people to sell and buy weapons, and then there were continuous uprisings in various places, various armed organizations developed rapidly, and the weapons industry developed rapidly, and the imperial court was also busy suppressing the uprisings of the displaced people, and there was no way to manage these industries, so there were a lot of people buying and selling weapons in recent years. ”

Zhou Hao took a list and opened it to see, what is the Silver Sword Palace, the Iron Sword Hall, and the Tiangang Mansion......

The list mentioned that there were no less than 20 weapons organizations, and Su Xing said: "Today's weapons are sold and bought far more than these 20 or so, and this is only with us. ”

Zhou Hao pointed to one of the "Disha Mansions" and said, "Good and evil name, what kind of weapon is this mainly for?" ”

Su Xingdao: "It is said that this is a very terrifying and mysterious organization, ordinary weapons such as knives, guns, swords, bows and arrows are not manufactured, ** those very evil weapons are made, and the location of each transaction is different." ”

Zhou Hao took the list of weapons for sale in the Disha Mansion and took a look, what kind of soul breaking hook, mourning sword, and grasping it with his heart......

Good evil name.

Su Xing saw Zhou Hao and said: "Nowadays, any armed force cannot survive without strong force, so all kinds of strange weapons and martial arts have also appeared one after another. ”

Zhou Hao was about to speak, Su Xing said: "I am about to order more than a dozen barrels of Divine Fire Flying Crows from the Thunderbolt Hall, this kind of artillery is very powerful, and now all major organizations are ordering this kind of thing from the Thunderbolt Hall." ”

Perak Hall! Zhou Hao was taken aback, is it the legendary organization that sells gunpowder!

"Is Perak in the business of gunpowder? Where is Perak Hall? ”

Su Xing saw Zhou Hao's face surprised, and said: "Why haven't you heard of Perak Hall, it is said that the headquarters is located in Jiangxi, I don't know what the specific location is." It is true that Perak Tong only deals in the business of gunpowder. ”

Zhou Hao said: "Can you tell me about Perak Hall in detail?" ”

Su Xing saw that Zhou Hao's face was very urgent, so he said: "Thunderbolt Hall is a very mysterious and huge organization today, it is said that the hall master is the Lei Shi family, the current hall master is Lei Xi City, and the real power of the Thunderbolt Hall is all Lei family. It is said that this organization is rich and rivals the country, with a history of nearly 200 years, when the imperial court engaged in the attack on the Japanese invaders, it was all kinds of gunpowder shells ordered from the Perak Hall, because the Perak Hall had a backer in the imperial court, so it was very powerful. Of course, if you want to order firearms from Peraktang, the location of the transaction with you will be completely different every time, so few people know exactly where the headquarters of Perak Tong is. ”

Zhou Hao said in surprise: "Could it be that even Daming's Divine Machine Camp is not as good as the Thunderbolt Hall." ”

Su Xing said: "So to speak. ”

Zhou Hao was completely surprised this time, such a huge organization, if it can completely eat the Thunderbolt Hall, and then reorganize it into the Shenji Battalion, what a powerful force it will be at that time, and then use this force to arm the army of the Ming Dynasty, why not be afraid of the Manchu Iron Cavalry.

"I must bring all the forces on the rivers and lakes under my command, and Perak Hall is no exception."

Zhou Hao stood up, and the officers also stood up when they saw this.

Zhou Hao paced back and forth in the tent with his hands in his hands, thinking hard about how to deal with the White Tiger Hall. If you can eat the White Tiger Hall, if you can eat the property of the White Tiger Hall, then there will be a considerable amount of money to form the Divine Machine Battalion.

In any case, the key is to first use its own advanced gun-making technology to transform the weapons and equipment of the Longwei Corps on a large scale.

On the avenue outside Nanjing, a horse-drawn carriage galloped towards the city of Nanjing.

Zhou Hao was sitting in the car.

The car is wide and comfortable, with sky blue curtains covering the windows, and the sunlight shines through the curtains into the car, making the interior of the car pale blue.

This is a car specially allocated by the imperial court for Zhou Hao.

Back at the mansion, Zhou Hao found his box full of various gun parts as quickly as possible.

Opening the box, Zhou Hao looked at the various gun parts inside, and an ambition surged into his heart, and now he will use these gun parts to transform the weapons of the Longwei Regiment.

Carrying the box and getting into the car, Zhou Hao ordered the car to drive quickly to the barracks of the Longwei Corps outside the city.

The car sped forward, and Zhou Hao pillowed on the box, leading his neck to sing.

Back in the barracks, Zhou Hao ordered the deputy commander to make Su Xing report all the number and styles of weapons in the barracks.

After a while, Su Xing sent a list to Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao opened it and took a look: there were a total of 1,373 knives, most of which were Yanling knives, big knives, long knives, thirteen swords, 2,113 spears, about 2,000 bows and arrows, and 1,000 horses.

After reading it, Zhou Hao turned around and asked Jiang Qing, who managed finances, how much money is still in the army?

Jiang Qingdao: "Originally, all the finances in the military camp were allocated by the imperial court, but since Beijing was breached, the imperial court no longer manages the military expenses, and we will solve it ourselves. ”

In this way, how can Da Ming not die, Zhou Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Zhou Hao said: "So it seems that there is not much money in the army?" ”

Jiang Qingdao said: "Less than a hundred taels of silver." ”

One hundred taels of silver, more than three thousand troops, how can it, Zhou Hao couldn't help but be surprised.

Zhou Hao took out a silver ticket of two hundred silver from his body, handed it to Zhou Hao and said: "This is a silver ticket of two hundred taels of silver, let's solve the urgent need first." ”

At this time, it was already dusk, and the twilight was everywhere, and the sound of insects was heard from all directions.

Zhou Hao returned to his tent, lay on the bed, and thought hard about how to solve the problem of military spending.

Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves, and Zhou Hao got up from the bed suddenly, and out of instinct, he took the pistol in his hand.

It was Su Xing who came, and when he saw Zhou Hao, he said: "Commander, do you have a business?" ”

Zhou Hao said: "What business? ”

Su Xingdao: "Qingfeng Village has a batch of looted salt, it is said that this salt is enough to have 10,000 taels of silver, if we can rob this batch of salt......"
