What does He Zuxian lack now?

Speaking of which, the newly baked General He lacks everything-

There was not much food and supplies in Wuchang Mansion in the first place. Now it has been moved home by the people and soldiers who took the initiative to participate in the uprising.

Moreover, Wuchang Mansion is the capital of Huguang Province and the location of the Yamen, the supreme commander of the military forces in the Huguang region. In the Yamen of the Huguang General Army, there are not many weapons that can be used.

He Zuxian led the soldiers to open the treasury of the Huguang General Soldier's Yamen, only to find that most of the weapons in several warehouses were missing. All that was left were rusty and broken spears, bows and arrows, and bird guns that no one dared to use. Many things are marked with the year name of Yongle.

What He Zuxian now has in his hands is very little food. It will be able to feed 2,000 people for seven or eight days. There are very few weapons, barely enough to replenish the remaining 1,400 soldiers. but there is a lot of silver.

One-third of the treasury silver in the governor's yamen, the general army's yamen, and other yamen at all levels and types fell into the hands of He Zuxian. However, for the time being, all commercial activities in Wuchang have stopped. The merchants were either killed or hidden. If you have money, you have nowhere to buy.

The materials that Huang Bochang brought from the revival meeting this time were mainly concentrated in two aspects, one was the people's biological resources, that is, a large amount of grain, clothing, cloth, salt, and various pots and pans and other daily necessities. The second is military materiel.

Military supplies are quite abundant, mainly the export products of the Fuxing Society, and 1,500 rifles imitating the "brown bass". Five thousand black powder grenades (this product has already been eliminated by the Baath Army). Twenty steel cannons of the little Napoleon and 2,000 flowering shells. This is the thermal weapons part.

The cold weapon part is 5,000 sets of chain mail (with the modern steel and machinery industry, it is easy to produce this thing), 5,000 long guns, 2,000 long-range steel crossbows (the main parts are made of steel, and the main body is still wood), and 20,000 crossbow arrows.

This pile of food supplies took more than 1,000 rebel soldiers to deliver for an entire afternoon. Many people's eyes lit up when they saw the large amount of grain. Many people's eyes lit up when they saw those shiny (not very bright) chain mail, bundles of spears. And the twenty Napoleonic small steel cannons that were finally shipped out made many people gasp.

This includes He Zuxian, who is chatting with Huang Bochang.

When He Zuxian asked Huang Bochang about the source of these materials, Huang Bochang told He Zuxian very calmly that he had bought these things through the foreign monk. Moreover, Huang Bochang also emphasized to He Zuxian: As long as the silver is enough, then he can buy as many such materials as he wants. And this first batch of materials was presented by Huang Bochang to He Zuxian.

He Zuxian doesn't care where these things come from now. It was Huang Bochang who said that these things were dug out of the tomb of the emperor Lao'er, why do you think Zuxian did not dare to attack Chengtian Mansion, which is not far from Wuchang.

He Zuxian was really pleasantly surprised. Huang Bochang not only solved a huge problem for him as soon as he came, but more importantly, Huang Bochang also brought him a channel where he could obtain a steady stream of materials. As long as there is such a channel, He Zuxian, who is not short of money, can guarantee the combat effectiveness of his army.

After a day of enthusiastic exchanges, Huang Bochang began to speak to He Zuxian. Huang Bochang told He Zuxian that in order to ensure the effective use of these materials, there must be a clear system. At present, the management model of the rebel soldiers is very chaotic, and it is necessary to establish an effective command system among the rebel soldiers in order to fully use these weapons.

He Zuxian is now 100% trusting Huang Bochang. He immediately accepted Huang Bochang's construction and used the manpower brought by Huang Bochang to start reorganizing the army.

The military cadres of the eight Baath Army did not do anything too out of the ordinary in the rebel army. Instead of changing the positions of the squad leaders of the ten-man squad at the lowest level, they began to improve the two-tier system of the rebel army, which had only one commander-in-chief and countless squad leaders.

The cadres of the Renaissance Army are selected in the fairest way. Among the more than 100 squad leaders, whoever can lift the most stone locks, who can hit the most targets with a spear, and who can lead the team to run two miles without dispersing will be promoted to squadron leader and become the leader of the five squads.

The selection method adopted by the cadres of the Renaissance Army is open and transparent. Fourteen hundred determined insurrectionary soldiers, not a single one was opposed. Soon, twenty-eight squadron leaders were produced. On the basis of the squadron leaders, the cadres of the Renaissance Army used the same method to select seven brigade leaders.

In this way, for every ten-person team, there is a team leader and a deputy team leader. Every five squads have a squadron leader and a deputy squadron leader. Every four squadrons have a group leader and a deputy group leader. In just two days, the cadres of the Baath Army helped 1,400 rebel soldiers to establish a simple three-level command system.

In general, the current insurrectionary soldiers are composed of a basic combat unit for every two hundred men. The heads of the seven combat units, that is, the seven captains, are directly responsible to He Zuxian. After five days of adaptation, the 1,400 rebel soldiers finally formed a system. He Zuxian also felt for the first time that he really controlled the army.

In the following half a month, eight cadres of the dispatch team began to help the rebel soldiers change their clothes. Each of the rebels was given two sets of canvas clothes and corresponding rattan shoes. Everyone was given a set of chain mail. Each soldier was given a brand new brown bass rifle. From then on, the entire insurrectionary soldiers were firearmed.

At the same time that the military construction of the rebel army began to move towards regularization. The social order of Wuchang City also began to enter the stage of stability. On the one hand, Huang Bochang lent He Zuxian 300 Huang family members (who were actually made up by the soldiers of the Renaissance Army) to start a comprehensive rectification of the social order in Wuchang City.

Baath Army soldiers wielding revolvers are not soft on former insurgents who have been turned into hooligans. It was only three or four days of hard work, and dozens of wooden shelves were erected in Wuchang City.

Those who were keen on robbery, forcible strength, murder, and brawls, nearly 200 people were successively hung on these wooden shelves. He Zuxian's thunderous means (these Renaissance Army soldiers all appeared in the name of He Zuxian's own soldiers) completely shocked the entire Wuchang City. The social order in Wuchang City was awe-inspiring.

Secondly, the logistical cadres of the eight revival associations began to resume commercial activities in Wuchang Province. A large number of goods produced by the Fuxing Society began to enter the market of Muchang Province in full swing. With the support of the Renaissance Society, pù, which was nominally the Huang family trading house, with a three-story stake in the collective of the insurrectionary soldiers, began to open in large numbers.

In these shops, grain (mainly potatoes and sweet potatoes) was sold at a very low price (and actually very profitable) to all the people of Wuchang who had gone to General He to press the handprints of allegiance. Cloth, salt, and other daily necessities were also sold to the people of Wuchang at a price far below the pre-uprising market price (which was actually very profitable). The people, who had received a lot of real money and copper coins during the uprising, began to use that money to purchase large quantities of the products of the Renaissance.

On the other hand, the staff of the dispatch team recruited a large number of people from Wuchang Prefecture to work with very good wages and salaries. In less than 10 days, a cement factory that was also very small in the eyes of the Fuxing Association, a very inconspicuous breeding farm in the eyes of the Fuxing Association, and a small shipyard that was also very backward in the eyes of the Fuxing Association, successively absorbed tens of thousands of Wuchang citizens who had no income and made a living, and began to be built at the Wuchang Wharf.

In addition to these three factories, the dispatch team also employed more than 5,000 people and began large-scale construction of the Wuchang wharf.

There are production departments (factory and wharf construction) and circulation departments (various shops), and the people of Wuchang can make money through guò work on the one hand (the currency of the Fuxing Society) and on the other hand, they can buy all kinds of abundant materials in Wuchang City (only the currency of the Fuxing Society), and the whole Wuchang City quickly recovers in half a month.

Because the production equipment and chickens, ducks and livestock breeds are all ready-made things transported from Jingzhou. The key technicians are also veterans of the Revival Society. So, in less than a month, all three factories in Wuchang Province began official production.

It's hard to believe. After a month passed, many merchants from the surrounding areas of Wuchang came to Wuchang Wharf to buy products such as cement, chickens, ducks, eggs, and various small boats and fishing boats produced in Wuchang Province, they did not even know that Wuchang Province had changed dramatically. Many of them still thought that the Wuchang prefect, who had already died in the uprising, had a good way of governing and was a talent.

During this month, the soldiers of the Wuchang Uprising led by He Zuxian were renamed the "Baomin Army". At the same time, the "People's Protection Army" has its own slogan: "Kill all corrupt officials, protect the country and protect the people." With their own political slogans, the troops began to stabilize themselves in an all-round way.

With the help of a team sent by the Renaissance Society, the entire PLA has been fully regularized and trained. By the end of a month, all the CNPA soldiers had mastered the essentials of marching in a platoon and firing a platoon gun. Training is currently being intensified. And in addition to the People's Protector Army, which is a regular army. APRC teams also helped CNDP recruit and train 3,000 militia troops.

These 3,000 people are all the children of military families in the original Wuchang Mansion City. These people all had new ideas after seeing the materials brought by Huang Bochang on the dock, and took the initiative to defect to the People's Army. These people all signed a contract with He Zuxian at the request of Huang Bochang and pressed their fingerprints.

The 3,000 newly recruited soldiers were also armed and trained by the Renaissance Society's small group. Fifteen hundred of them were trained as crossbowmen. Another 1,500 were trained as pikemen.

Sending teams is not demanding of them. They don't need to go out of the city to fight. It is mainly responsible for the defense of Wuchang City
