The Huwei battalion originally only had twenty firearms, and this also included the two short firecrackers in Wang Tong's hands, and the ten firecrackers brought by the soldiers, which were built intermittently by the workshop, but it was always not in line with Wang Tong's wishes, and the consumption of cold weapons and various utensils was not small, and the firecrackers were not the first urgency, so they were delayed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The craftsmen of the Fanren people from Macao were taken captive to Tianjin, bringing with them the means of hydraulic and animal processing machinery, as well as more advanced iron-smelting and forging techniques.

Along with it, the craftsman strength on Wang Tong's side has also reached a sufficient scale, and it belongs to the state of being ready, so the creation of armor and the manufacture of fire guns are on the agenda.

The first batch of 400 guns began to equip the troops in the second half of September, and the artillery team of the Huwei Battalion was already quite large, and many of the soldiers who operated the guns were also proficient, but the guns were unfamiliar and abnormal.

It's a good thing that Hans's soldiers have received formal training, and the suggestion of the reorganization of the Huwei battalion is indeed a good policy, and now they can serve as firearms instructors.

Naturally, the fire soldiers had to be selected from among the officers and men of each battalion, and the generals of each battalion were prepared to send the soldiers with the worst performance in each battalion, and then another batch of soldiers from the bow incense and the security army.

Everyone's thoughts are similar to General Tan's, there are some fire commanders who are dragging their feet on the battlefield, and they are really not hopeful about what role they can play.

However, Wang Tong's treatment surprised everyone, the salary of the firecrackers was twice that of the ordinary soldiers of each battalion, and the original 400 people were under the joint jurisdiction of Wang Tong and the two large establishments after the reorganization.

The high military salary, and it is also directly under the jurisdiction of Lord Wang, this treatment shows a lot of problems, indicating that this fire commander is the top priority, and the Lord attaches great importance to it.

Originally, all battalions had to recommend soldiers to enter the army, but after getting the news, they all selected the elite soldiers of each battalion to report, for fear that Lord Wang would be dissatisfied.

Although there is no grade, twice the military salary and Wang Tong's direct administration have explained a lot of problems, this is already equivalent to the treatment of Xiaoqi, and the people who are selected are very excited.

…………

The battalions were drawn out of soldiers, and the vacancies were replenished by the localities, and this time the priority was given to the young and strong people in the bow of the ship, who had been training the same as the Huwei battalion, but without military pay.

This time, the young and strong people of the bow incense were added, so that the bow incense was quite excited, and the hard labor of these days, whether there was any personal freedom, was naturally miserable.

They have a vague hope, Wang Tong's various systems are short of manpower, although the bow incense captives are hard, but they have never been hungry and frozen, and the hundreds of young people who have been selected to maintain law and order are even more feared by people everywhere in Tianjin, and the bow incense people know that they are sinners. The rich and poor people everywhere in Tianjin Wei regarded the Chuantou Xiangzhong as Wang Tong's subordinates, and the Chuantou Xiang's family members did not dare to be snub and deceive when dealing with others.

Inside and outside, the incense on the bow of the boat is spread up and down, saying that after a few years of hard life, everyone will be used as errand soldiers, soldiers or something, at least they have a stronger identity than ordinary people.

This is just speculation, but this time the policy of transferring the bow incense people to make up for the Huwei battalion has reassured the bow incense people, Lord Wang is really a Buddha in ten thousand families, and the big guy will stay up for a few more years and atone for the sins of the previous years, and he will be able to hold his chest high, and follow Lord Wang to enjoy happiness.

The young man who transferred the bow incense to serve as a soldier, and on weekdays, the labor of the infrastructure construction was nothing to worry about when he was busy, and there were so many people on the side of the triangle, so there was no manpower to replenish.

These are all things on the bright side, Wang Tong didn't notice that after he transferred the bow of the boat to Xiang Qingzhuang, the atmosphere around Tianjin Wei became much calmer, which Wang Tong and the people around him couldn't see.

Wang Tong came to Tianjin Wei from Beijing, first tossed the officialdom of Tianjin Wei and turned it upside down today, and then completely crushed the bow incense, although all kinds of moves were to consolidate his power, and most of the people he dealt with were the extension of the forces on the side of Jingshi, but the local wealthy families and local forces of Tianjin Wei were also implicated a lot and suffered a heavy blow.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu plus Huwei Camp, enough to subdue Tianjin Wei, but the pressure is not convinced after all, plus after the opening of the sea, the local businessmen started late, but they were preempted by the wealthy businessmen of the foreign government and Shandong, Beijing, plus the subsequent measures and policies, it makes people feel that Wang Tong is deliberately introducing external forces to deal with Tianjin Wei local.

Tianjin Wei is extremely prosperous, the capable are rich in it, and the incompetent can also seek food and clothing for the whole family, many contradictions have been hidden, but the hostility and vigilance in the heart have not been eliminated.

This time, the absorption of Xiangqingzhuang into the Huwei camp is also the introduction of Tianjin Weibenchi's disciples as soldiers, Wang Tong's side is just a normal arrangement, but in the eyes of others, it has changed from suppression to integration.

Since Lord Wang has the heart to envelop him, the local vigilance has gone a lot, everyone is at ease, and the place has naturally become calm and stable, this is Wang Tong's unintentional insertion, which is unexpected.

…………

Yu Daxian said more than once before his death that when the enemy did not reach the firing range, he panicked and panicked, and when the enemy reached the firing range, the ammunition had been fired

, the fire is too hot to continue firing, and even if the enemy is in range, the soldiers are panicked and cannot hit at all; Not to mention that because of the quality of the firecracker, the soldiers did not dare to raise their aim, for fear that the explosion would hurt their helplessness.

Wang Tong is confident that he will change, the quality of the fire gun will not be bad, and the craftsmen who are well paid will not dare to slack off under the accountability system, after all, this income is difficult to find, and there is only one head. Hydraulic machinery and the new technologies brought by the people can also ensure that the fire system will not become less powerful due to materials and processes.

As for the soldiers' use of the fire system, Wang Tong also knew that what Yu Daxian and General Tan said was the truth, but Wang Tong could be regarded as a few years in the army, and he also had his own considerations.

Wang Tong has confidence in himself, has a complete drill code for the soldiers to learn, has sufficient food and equipment to ensure the training of the soldiers, and has strict discipline and military law to restrain and deter, all these things have been completed, Wang Tong does not believe that there will be those strange and ridiculous things.

…………

A total of 4,000 people were stationed in Tianjin, and the 800 people were used as the establishment of Jinyi Guards to maintain law and order inside and outside the city, and Wang Tong prepared to divide the other 3,200 people into two regiments.

The division of the regiment, battalion, company and platoon is really deep in his mind, and Wang Tong took out the name of the regiment without even thinking about it, the name is a trivial matter, and the people below don't care.

A regiment alone has 1,600 soldiers in eight battalions, and one of the battalions is the commander of the fire, and this is only the soldiers, if you count the self-auxiliary soldiers Ding Zhuang who will be assigned at that time, the soldiers who hold the flag, beat the drum and give orders, and the generals and guards who command the troops, a regiment will be almost more than 2,000 people.

Such a force can already take a real position as a garrison in the locality, and it is also thanks to the establishment of the Huwei Battalion of the Forbidden Army on Wang Tong's side that such a structure can be had.

Since the regiment has been established, who will hold this position is the most concerned thing for Wang Tong's subordinates at the moment, everyone knows that this position is noble, and the future is unlimited, and it is naturally the blessing of the ancestors to be able to reach this position.

However, as we all know, not everyone can sit in such a critical position, but they can't sit in their own homes, and it is good for people who are friendly with themselves to sit in this position.

The reorganization of the forbidden army is a big deal, if it is the five battalions under the Imperial Horse Prison, whoever mentions this statement may be cut off according to the last big crime, but Wang Tong's side, there has not been a clear official document issued so far, and some things will be turned a blind eye and let him do it.

Regardless of the above, Wang Tong couldn't help but report this matter, so after the plan was taken out, he immediately sent someone to send a horse to Jingshi, taking the road of regular playing, and going to the Tongzheng Division to the master of ceremonies and then to the hands of Emperor Wanli.

Originally, I felt that my subordinates were full of talents, but I really wanted to propose candidates for the position, but there are not too many now, General Tan is old, and he clearly said that he will not serve, Zhang Shiqiang and Bei Dahai are all capable of doing errands, but they can't lead troops to fight.

Thinking about it, only a dozen people from the Tan family and Ma Sanbiao can be used, although the Tan family is all with the same surname, but there is no blood relationship, but Tan Lun's family is a personal soldier, as soon as Tan Lun dies, the relationship between them will disappear, and he is not worried that they will be united.

And even if Tan Lun didn't die, Tan Bing and Tan Jian were the people sent from outside to keep an eye on them, and they couldn't talk about working together.

What is a little ironic is that the candidate Wang Tong likes in his heart will not be much different from the candidate who may be selected above, that is, Tan Bing, Tan Jian and Yu Gong, although there are such and such worries, but in terms of youth and experience, Wang Tong really can't find anyone else to compare.

After the list was reported, Wang Tong also laughed at himself, thinking that thanks to Tan Bing and Tan Jian in Yizhou, it would be really difficult to control.

…………，

Both military and civilian politics are routine and repetitive work on weekdays, which makes people easily tired and does not feel the rapid passage of time.

Coming back from Shandong, it was almost October in a blink of an eye, Wu Da had already sent five shipwrights to Tianjin Wei, calculating that the distance had left Shandong, Dong Chuangxi wrote a letter to complain that he really couldn't find it, which was all expected by Wang Tong, and the response was just step-by-step.

At noon on September 23, Gu Zibin of Sanjiang Commercial Bank came to report, saying that Shen Huan's side stopped transporting sugar after it was transported to Tianjin Weishi's boatload of sugar, and said that it would not be shipped in the future.

However, as soon as Gu Zibin left, there was an errand from the Qing Army Hall who came to the door:

"Someone beat a drum in the Qing Army Hall to sue Lord Wang Tong......"
