Chapter 268: Arsenal
Shoushan and Feng Xiang were indignant after receiving Jin Chang's letter, and they did not have any doubts about what Jin Chang's letter said, because Jin Chang's character has always been very passable. The two wrote a reply to Jin Chang, expressing their willingness to jointly impeach Zengqi and Xuanyuan Jian, and Jin Chang immediately began to write a recital after receiving the reply, and Chen Hao, who had been bored for the past two days, had already written his recital.
"The minister is a civilian, and the queen mother is the queen mother's great grace to appoint the minister to the Yingkou Zhili Hall, and the minister does not dare to slack off in the slightest. However, recently, bandits have been rampant in Yingkou, gathering 24 rebels and tens of thousands of followers. The minister was terrified and arranged for the soldiers to encircle and suppress with their hearts, but the bandits in Yingkou became more and more rampant. Chen Bai was puzzled, and after many days of secret visits, he learned that there were strangers in Benxi, Xuanyuan Jianxiao, gathered 10,000 people to divide one side, and built large coal mines, steel mills, machinery bureaus and other factories, and other strangers followed suit. ”
"The ministers are also aliens, and the aliens who openly rebelled because they felt that the ministers were of the same clan would open up the network, and they divided their positions at Yingkou. The minister received the great grace of the queen mother, how could he abolish the royal law because of personal feelings, so he was ready to send troops to suppress it. However, Zechen has something to understand, the Xuanyuan Sword of the Inhuman Alien openly gathered thousands of people to divide the territory and build ordnance with bad intentions, why didn't Lord Zengqi, the general of Shengjing, investigate? The minister and the deputy capital of Shengjing, Jin Chang, made an unannounced visit for many days, and learned that Shengjing's general Zengqi received Xuanyuan Sword's property, and Xuanyuan Sword's factory Zengqi accounted for 20% of the dry shares. If the Xuanyuan Sword is not destroyed, it will be difficult for the minister to succeed in suppressing the bandits at Yingkou, so the minister risked his life to plead to the queen of heaven, hoping that the queen mother can sweep away the filth, so that the minister can wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop. ”
Jin Chang, Shoushan, and Feng Xiang wrote similar memoranda to Chen Hao, but instead of being so tactful, they verbally impeached the Shengjing general Zengqi. The four copies were sent to the capital at the same time, and the plenipotentiary minister Li Hongzhang did not dare to slack off after receiving the folds, and immediately arranged for 800 miles to be sent to Chang'an urgently.
It would be impossible for the Empress Dowager Cixi to have news for a while, Chen Hao could only wait with peace of mind, and after sending him out, he left the barracks and returned to Yingkou. This time, Xuanyuan Jian completely tore his face with him and forced him to a dead end, and if his plan could succeed, he would also form a mortal enmity with Xuanyuan Sword. There is also Shengjing General Zengqi, no matter whether the impeachment can be successful or not, Zengqi will hate him to the core.
If Zeng Qi was removed from the post of General Sheng Jing, he didn't care how much he hated Chen Hao, but if the impeachment failed, Chen Hao would be tragic. Yingkou Zhili Hall is under the jurisdiction of General Shengjing's Mansion, and it is easy for Zengqi to deal with him, and he can find fault with him at any time. Chen Hao was also gambling, he felt that his plan had a very high chance of success, and if he couldn't succeed, he would have to find a way to prevent Zengqi's revenge.
Yang Du has found more than a dozen management talents, these people are very ordinary, but they can do such things as resettlement people. Because the horse bandits recruited by Du Lisan have not yet arrived, in order to avoid startling the snakes, Yang Du did not dare to mobilize the people to relocate first, and those "bandits" will definitely be alarmed if they start now, and without the cooperation of the mobile cavalry, it will be troublesome for these "bandits" to launch an attack on the way to mobilize the people.
Chen Hao came to the house where these more than ten people were and appointed them to serve as clerks in the Yingkou Zhili Hall to cooperate with Yang Du in their work. These people were all found out from the crowd by Yang Du using the "eyesight" stunt, and they had no status in society, and they were all very happy to work in the government, and they all accepted Chen Hao's employment.
Chen Hao's hiring of these clerks is like the master hired by the ancient county officials, he needs to pay out of his own pocket, and if these people perform well when cooperating with Yang Du, he will also consider really turning these people into his subordinates. After appeasing more than a dozen management talents, he soon came to the arsenal to check the operation of the arsenal.
After Zengqi promised Chen Hao that he could use electricity, the arsenal had already begun to operate, but the factory was not fully operational due to the lack of materials. Chen Hao has already taken out some money and asked Tang Qunying to come forward to help contact the purchase of qualified steel and copper, but in a short period of time, all the factory can do is repair the guns and produce a small number of bullets.
Chen Hao was most concerned about producing artillery by himself, so he went directly to the factory where the artillery was produced, and when he walked to the door, he heard a commotion. The one who shouted loudly was Li Laishun, a technician who was in charge of artillery production in the Jilin Machinery Bureau, and the other person who kept explaining spoke Russian, it was Captain Gobiato, whom Chen Hao had captured.
The imperial court is still negotiating with the Russians, and the Russian captives have not yet returned to China, but even if other captives are sent back to Russia, Captain Gobiato, Chen Hao, will definitely not let them go. During this time, Captain Gobiato enjoyed preferential treatment, as a prisoner, he fed better than the soldiers of the Black Dragon Battalion, and Chen Hao also allowed him to enter the arsenal and let him try to study light artillery.
When Chen Hao walked into the factory, Gobiato was arguing loudly, and after the translator next to him explained, Li Laishun still didn't buy it. Captain Gobiato came to the workshop to see the cannon casting, and at the same time he wanted the technicians of the arsenal to cast the cannon according to his requirements. Li Laishun, a technician, came from Jilin because of his generous treatment, and after working in Yingkou, he felt that he was much better in all aspects than in Jilin, so he consciously defended the interests of Yingkou and resolutely refused to let Gobiato touch the machine.
The arsenal is a military powerhouse, and idlers are not allowed to enter, let alone Lao Maozi's prisoners? Despite the fact that Gobiato had a pass, Li Laishun just didn't believe him and said that he wouldn't let him see the machinery that cast artillery.
After listening to what Li Laishun said, Chen Hao said with a smile: "Science has no borders, this Captain Gobiato has a lot of research on artillery, I kept him here just to let him study light artillery, Master Li, you let him see it!" ”
After the interpreter told Captain Gobiato's words to Chen Hao, he gave Chen Hao a thumbs up and said, "That's right! Science knows no borders, and I love that saying. Your Majesty, your subordinates think I'm going to spy on the secrets of the factory, and to be honest, your factory is not advanced, so I don't need to spy on it at all. ”
After Chen Hao listened to the translator's words, he suddenly felt that this foreign devil was actually quite cute, and it was best to keep him all the time if he could. Captain Gobiato, who has a special skill in light artillery research, helped invent the mortar, and may need to gradually improve it in the future, always mastering advanced mortar technology.
Li Laishun was anxious when he heard Chen Hao's promise to let the foreign devil control the machine, and he said loudly: "My lord, these machines are the treasures of the machine bureau, what if they are damaged by this foreign devil?" ”
Chen Hao shook his head and said, "Master Li doesn't have to worry, Captain Gobiato is very good at artillery, and he won't destroy the machine." If Captain Gobiato has good design drawings, please ask Master Li to cooperate with him to cast them for testing, and all the expenses will be reimbursed by me. If Captain Gobiato develops good artillery, I personally reward you with five hundred oceans each. ”
Five hundred oceans Li Laishun was very tempted, but after taking a look at the foreign devil in military uniform, he felt that he could only think about it. This foreign devil is a soldier on the battlefield, how can he be proficient in artillery, and I don't know what kind of soup he poured into the adult, and the adult will let him touch the precious machine of the machine bureau.
Chen Hao left the artillery workshop and came to the gun repair shop, but the quality of the guns repaired in the game will be reduced, but he is not much interested in the repaired guns. However, after getting the equipment for gun maintenance from Zengqi, he still built this maintenance station, and after each war, many guns were scrapped, and if he could repair some of them, it would also be a stable source of income.
The technical content of firearm maintenance is relatively low, and there is no need for a gun technician to be in charge, and ordinary apprentices can do it. Chen Hao took a look at the repaired gun, it used to be a standard version of the rifle, and it may become an ordinary version after repair. Each apprentice's skill proficiency is different, and the guns repaired are also very different, and the quality of the repaired guns can be guaranteed after the repair of the guns with good technology.
Chen Hao had seen it when the bullet production workshop began to run, and due to the lack of mine mercury, smokeless gunpowder and copper, the production line could not even be started all day. The Jilin Machinery Bureau used to be able to produce bullets and shells of various calibers, and the machine that Chen Hao got from Zengqi was a complete bullet production line, and it could also produce bullets in batches, as long as there were raw materials, the bullets produced by the arsenal were enough to support the use of all battalions in Yingkou.
After seeing the arsenal, Chen Hao came to the Sailor School, this building can be put into use as long as the factory building is built, and it doesn't cost too much money. Chen Hao is very interested in the Sailor Academy, he relied on Yang Du's "eyesight" stunt to find an honest NPC in Yingkou to temporarily take charge of school affairs, and asked him to fully guarantee the requirements of students in terms of food and other aspects.
The Sailor Academy does not require spending money on a large number of machines like the Arsenal, but it does require high-level personnel. The teachers in the Sailor Academy are all high-level intellectuals, and there must be naval stunts, and this kind of NPC is only available in the official Sailor Academy. After Chen Hao had this crazy plan, he tried to contact Wang Donglai and asked him to try his best to establish a good relationship with his teachers and classmates in the Fuzhou Shipbuilding School, and then persuade some people to go north.
Wang Donglai has developed well in the game, he has successfully entered the Fuzhou Ship Master School, and he is also very valued by NPCs. He has barely practiced leveling, and every day he enters the game is to do tasks, and then find NPCs to get books on ships and study them. Learning professional knowledge also allowed him to improve his cultural attributes, and he improved rapidly, and it is said that he was able to draw simple mosquito boat drawings in their entirety.
Chen Hao would mail a letter to Wang Donglai in the game every few days, and with the money, he could better make friends with teachers and classmates. After the establishment of the Yingkou Water Master School, Chen Hao asked Wang Donglai, Wang Donglai did not ask if anyone was willing to go north to teach, but he had a good relationship with his teachers and classmates, and if he offered a high salary, some people should be willing to come.
