Volume 2 A Different Tun Chang Chapter 316 One after another, the military industry Old White Cow

The outside world has also heard a little about Wang Dou's establishment of the shogunate, but everyone in the meeting is secretive, and they don't know the inside story.

The outside world is not concerned about this, Wang Dou set up the shogunate and adjusted and expanded his subordinate staff, which is not surprising. For the shogunate, the Ming Dynasty is no stranger to both civilian scholars, which civilian military general has not been set up?

Although the Ming Dynasty was founded, Zhu Yuanzhang, a model worker, stipulated in detail the instructions for each official to take office. The catalogue is as high as 31 articles, from the first article to worship the gods, all the way to the 31st article of the police signs, what each official needs to know when he is appointed to take office, what to do, all things and things are approved clearly, clearly.

That being said, after the arrival of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, most of them still relied on their subordinate staff and officials to do things, and the same was true for civil and military generals. This unspoken rule was vividly developed in the Qing Dynasty. Master Shaoxing is popular all over the world.

In the imagination of the outside world, it is normal for Wang Dou to set up a shogunate and vigorously recruit staff. It is not as good as governing a state and a city, the entire East Road case is complicated, and without the assistance of the staff, it is impossible to govern Wang Dou and a military general alone.

The outside world is eager for Wang Dou to vigorously recruit staff, so won't these literati who are literate and well-read come in handy?

Wang Dou's prestige is becoming more and more like the sky, with great military exploits, a strong army in hand, and the cabinet ministers are vying to be the first to win over, and there is Xuanzhen cheap Yuezhang Ji Shiwei as a backup. The literati everywhere on the East Road are ready to move, and the opportunity cannot be missed, and taking this downwind boat will definitely maximize the interests of their families.

Even if you can't squeeze into the shogunate, it's the worst, it's good to find a job for your own children in Xintunpu. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou set up Tunpu in the Black Mountain Temple, Reclining Buddha Temple, and Alum Mountain in the south of Baoanzhou, and more than 200 literati in Baoan Prefecture successfully obtained jobs, had a stable income, and supported their families, so that many broken families were very envious.

In today's Ming Dynasty, natural disasters continue, land annexation, big fish eat small fish, and people who go bankrupt every day among the literati and squires are continuous, how difficult is it to find a living in this year? General Dingguo doesn't say anything else, I haven't heard of the arrears of monthly salaries, and there are red envelopes, wine and meat during the New Year's holidays, where to find this kind of stable job now?

At that time, there was a slight hesitation, and many people regretted it, but now the opportunity has come. General Dingguo rescued 200,000 people, and the imperial court ordered that all these people were turned into military households and placed in various places on the East Road. There is news that General Dingguo will set up dozens of tunbao, and one tunbao needs ten scribes, and fifty tunbao needs at least 500 scribes.

This huge number made the literati of Donglu and Baoan Prefecture enthusiastic and red-eyed.

Regarding the rise of Wang Dou, the literati of Baoan Prefecture still have a cautious welcome attitude, after all, Wang Dou has developed until now, and has not violated the interests of the local squires and landlords. As for some people talking about being ashamed of doing things for martial artists...... Even Governor Ji intended to marry his daughter to the general of Dingguo as his wife, and he did not hesitate to take a roundabout route, and the Li family in Baoan Prefecture wanted to send his daughter to the palace as a concubine.

Eating is the most important thing, there are broken righteous people everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, you don't want to go to work, and a lot of people are willing to squeeze their heads.

From the fourth day of the fourth month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, for some reason, the front of the shogunate suddenly became crowded, especially in front of Zhang Gui, the ambassador of the Department of Civil Affairs, and Zhong Zhengxian, the official of the security state, and the people who wanted to see him broke through the threshold.

In front of the small courtyard where Confucianism in Baoan Prefecture is in line with Mingqi, there are also many people visiting, which keeps him busy. On the sixth day of the new year, it was so easy for him to send away a wave of classmates and friends who came from Huaiqing and Yanqing, and returned to his courtyard a little tired.

At this time, there were two people dressed as scholars sitting in the hall, and when they saw him come in, they both owed a debt.

One of the two is tall and thin, and the other is of medium stature, both wearing green shirts and robes, but they are Qin Yi and Ye Xizhi. The two of them traveled in Baoan Prefecture for several days, and finally found an opportunity to visit Fu Mingqi. As soon as the three of them fell in love, they had a good chance to speak, and in a few days, Qin Yi and both of them lived in Fu Mingqi's mansion.

Back in the hall, Fu Mingqi sighed: "My classmates are very eager, and at first they begged to get an errand in Xintunbao, the general of Dingguo, but changed their minds when they arrived at the Security State. I hope to get a job in the Department of Education..... It's hard to bear. ”

Wang Dou's shogunate was to set up an indoctrination division, which was heard to specialize in how to educate the people of the East Road. There is no case work, only need to talk every day, noble and faced, such a good ministry immediately attracted the attention of many literati.

They moved around in the hope of getting a job in the Department of Education. Fu Mingqi is the main force of everyone's activities, and his repeated visits have made him useless.

Fu Mingqi sat down with annoyance on his face, looking at his appearance, Qin Yi smiled slightly, but Ye Xizhi said proudly: "General Dingguo set up the Department of Education, which is a major event to educate people's hearts. Brother Zhongtai, I think most of your classmates seek wealth for officials and are hungry for profit. It is still prudent not to introduce these local chickens and dogs into the division. ”

Ye Xizhi has a bold personality, conceited and talented, and speaks to Fu Mingqi, without the slightest scruple in his words, and his heroic spirit is aggressive.

Fu Mingqi laughed, he was heroic, he was an informal person, he had intersected for a few days, he knew Ye Xizhi's personality quite well, and he didn't care about his words. He smiled and said: "Brother Shaobai is outspoken, and Brother Fool has already understood, but just now my classmates are so angry that you are choking." ”

Ye Xizhi snorted coldly: "I am dedicated to the country, and I will never make a difference to this generation." ”

Qin Yi smiled and said: "Mr. Yuguan Fu came to visit his classmates and friends, and there were several people who were quite good, sighing that their eyes were above the top, and they didn't understand practice. On weekdays, he talks about his heart and mind, and fights to report his death to the king, and these people are not suitable candidates for the shogunate of Dingguo.

Fu Mingqi groaned, and his friend Wang Dou asked him to recommend talents to enter the various divisions of the shogunate. In the past few days, Fu Mingqi has also considered several candidates, and the two Confucianists, Jiang Hongsheng and Huang Riguang, are interested in entering the Department of Education.

Originally, in Fu Mingqi's opinion, Qin Yi and Ye Xizhi were also very good candidates, but the two were more interested in the General Staff Department and the Civil Affairs Department. Although the shogunate's message Fu Mingkai only revealed a few words to the two, the huge power hidden inside had already excited the two.

Ye Xizhi asserted that Wang Dou had "monstrous ambitions", and in his opinion, the Civil Affairs Department was the best place to display his talents. The department also needs to be able to be strong and sensitive, and he is the best person to be appointed to the Shogunate.

Qin Yi was very curious about the Shogunate's General Staff Division, and heard that the Shunxiang Army was proficient in regulations, coupled with sophisticated surveying and mapping, and commanded the war with this strategy and regulations, which had no advantages and disadvantages, and would not have to worry about talking about the war on paper. ,

According to what he heard, the generals of the Ming Dynasty did not have this way of fighting, and it was different from the paper strategies of the civil officials, who often set a lot of impressionist strategies and tactics. General Dingguo can set up such a position, it is really a genius.

Of course, both of them agreed to take up a position under the Department of Education, and they talked and pointed out the country on weekdays, which was very much in line with the tastes of these literati.

Ye Xizhi lived in the Fu Mansion for a few days, and he couldn't wait, and after saying that, he wanted Fu Mingqi to introduce him today. Fu Mingqi shook his head with a smile: "It's also unfortunate that General Dingguo went to Shunbao to inspect today, and the matter of the introduction can only be changed to another day." ”

Ye Xizhi was disappointed, his eyes were purring, and Fu Mingqi continued to discuss the topic of controversy with Qin Yi in the past few days.

"According to the fool's opinion, today's imperial examination is like a heavy article, and only the sour and rotten people who boast of themselves are handsome, but do not understand practice. When the civil and military are combined, the quantity is applicable. Those who are proficient in civil and military governance can be all-rounders, those who are proficient in civil and military affairs are both concurrent, and those who have achievements and are sparse in civil and military affairs are partial talents......"

On the sixth day of the fourth month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou came to Shunxiang Fort.

Up to now, Shunxiangbao has become a prosperous city, with a local military population of more than 20,000 and tens of thousands of foreigners.

There is also a steady stream of people from various refugee camps who have been selected to enter the boundaries of Shunxiangbao, or Wubao, the land of the Black Mountain Temple in the south of the state, to farm, mine, and graze. These people are lucky, and when they are selected, it means that they can have enough to eat, and the food in the refugee camps is obviously not comparable to that.

What's more important is that they see hope, they go to various places in the south of the state under the official arrangement, if they perform well, after strict inspection, they can have the household registration of the military household in Baoan Prefecture, divide the land in the future, and their children join the army, and live the same good life as the people of that day.

There is happiness only by comparison, looking at the appearance of those foreign populations, the military households of Shunxiangbao can't help but rejoice.

There were many households in Baoshi Prefecture, which were first secretly changed to military households, and later became large-scale. Appears in large quantities. Especially the original Wang Dou's hometown Xingzhuang, except for some of the original tenants of the Li family, has been changed to military households, and the same is true for all the prefecture cities, which makes Zhizhou Li Zhenban depressed.

Now in this place on East Road, it is a very decent thing to have a Baoan Prefecture military household registration, especially the Shunxiangbao military household registration. Those who have relatives in Shunxiangbao continue to run to their families. After coming, they can do some small business, Shunxiangbao has a prosperous population, every household has grain and silver, it is easy to do business here.

They can also help local military families plough the fields, while their children go out to fight.

You can also go to mines, forestry factories, and livestock farms, in short, there are many opportunities to live.

It is the nearby Wubao military households, all of which are greatly stained, and the fort has prospered a lot in the past two years.

There is news that General Dingguo is going to build bridges and pave roads on a large scale in Baoan Prefecture and even the entire East Road. The general also recaptured a large number of pigs and sheep from the Tartars, and a large number of manpower was needed to build shops and factories in the future, which were all opportunities.

With the daily influx of people, the forts that were abandoned and burned in the ninth year of Chongzhen flourished again.

The original dozen tunpu and the surrounding areas in the territory have become densely populated places.

In particular, Shunxiang Fort Benbao, the city had been expanded three times under the rule of Wang Dou, but with the increase in population, it is obvious that the city could not accommodate so many residents. The expanded houses added circle after circle along the outskirts of the city.

In this place of Baoanzhou, the Tartars can't beat it, and no bandits dare to beat the people's idea, even if they live outside the city, everyone is very relieved.

Of course, because the boundary of Shunxiang Fort concentrates most of Wang Dou's silver depots, grain depots, mines, military industry, livestock farms and other key departments, and it is also an important place for recruits to practice, it is not easy to enter Shunxiang Fort.

Displaced people are not allowed to enter, and outsiders who want to live in Shunxiangbao must have a letter of introduction and guarantee from a local military household. When entering Shunxiang Fort from various roads, it is necessary to go through a series of strict inspections, especially the military industrial sites in the area of Yaozi River in the west of the fort, which are not close to people.

When Wang Dou arrived at Shunxiang Fort, it was a grand welcome ceremony, and the soldiers and civilians did not hesitate to express their reverence for the general of Dingguo. Looking at the current appearance of Shunxiang Fort, Wang Dou is also very satisfied, he came to this world and changed the fate of many people, and it is enough to be proud to think about it.

Wang Dou's trip was mainly to inspect the military industry of Shunxiang Fort. After the establishment of the logistics department, there was a military engineering department below, which was in charge of all the gunpowder factories, military uniform factories, fire control factories, and armor factories in Shunxiangbao. In the future, if there is ear ability, it will also set up artillery and other factories.

Considering the importance of the military industry, Qi Tianliang proposed that the iron factory and coal factory be placed under the name of the military industry department, and Guo Zhongju, the former secretary of Shunxiang Fort, and others served as the secretary of the department. Also, Lai Yuanlong is the director of the military industry department, Li Maosen and others are the deputy directors, and Wang Dou has no opinion.

At this time, Lin Daofu, Qi Tianliang and others gathered around Wang Dou like stars holding the moon. As the ambassadors of the Training Department and the Logistics Department, the two continue to live in Shunxiang Fort, and Lin Daofu is still serving as the defense officer of Shunxiang Fort.

However, Wang Dou considered that the recruits gathered on the East Road in the future would all be trained in the Lin Dao Fu camp. Everything is complicated, Lin Daofu definitely does not have the energy to govern the affairs in the fort, Wang Dou intends to let the old boss of Huo Ludun, Zhong Da, serve as the defense officer of Shunxiang Fort.

In the past two years, Zhong Dayong has been in the jurisdiction of Tunbao in the Black Mountain Temple, and he has worked very hard, and he has also recommended himself to raise chicken talents Long Mao, using the grassland to raise chickens and ducks on a large scale.

Coupled with their own cattle and sheep farms in various places in Baoan Prefecture, large-scale production of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep will be produced in the future. In today's Ming Dynasty, when grain production cannot be increased, the dietary structure of the military and civilians has been changed to meat and milk, supplemented by grain, which can not only strengthen the body, but also reduce the demand for food.

In this matter, Zhong Dayong can be said to have made great contributions, and there is no problem in serving as the defensive officer of Shunxiang Fort.

However, Wang Dou did not reveal this thought, but just looked at the factories in detail, from the gunpowder factory to the fire factory. Compared with the messy at the beginning, now the factories are much better, and there is no longer a lack of craftsmen.

The 200,000 people rescued by Wang Dou, plus those who flowed into Baoan Prefecture, there were at least thousands of craftsmen among them. These craftsmen were counted one by one and sent to various factories and mines in Shunxiangbao, as long as Wang Dou's money and grain could keep up, he would not have a shortage of craftsmen in the next few years.

Wang Dou mainly came for the flintlock pistol, this technology is mature in Shunxiang Fort, Lai Yuanlong has been successfully developed in the first two years, not to mention that Wang Dou has the refuge of Yang Guodong, the general manager of the standard battalion. In his army, there were more than 200 self-generated fire mills, that is, flintlock pistols, and with a physical reference, it was easier to fight.

The flintlock pistol has an advantage over an arquebus that gets in the way, cannot be used in rainy days, and has to drag a long lit arquebus. Of course, flintlock pistols were not without their faults, and the sparks from flint were often not enough to ignite the gunpowder, so that dumb fire often occurred. Pulling the trigger requires a lot of force, which affects accuracy.

There is also a serious disadvantage of flintlock guns, which is the delayed firing.

From pulling the trigger to actually shooting, there is a noticeable delay process. Anyone who fires at a moving target, the shooter must think about this problem before shooting, and there is no way to solve it.
