"Planning? The Tiger King said firmly, the days in the Shengong Temple were very comfortable, but now it is too comfortable, and he is uncomfortable all over his body.

He always felt that other people's eyes were like knives, and it was uncomfortable to cut his whole body. Although he was born in a business, he had a better life than ordinary people, but he could only ensure food and clothing, and if he was successful in business, he could have a sum of money to make his family live comfortably for a few months.

No matter what, the Tiger King is still a commoner's thinking, here, he is not comfortable living, anyway, he is over forty years old, his son is also older, and the eldest son in the family is in his early twenties, which is better than his father.

Mr. is a good person, not only take care of him, but also take care of his family, take time out, personally instruct his two sons, the younger son seems to be unsuccessful, the eldest son is good, not only became a martial artist, but also became a big steward.

The eldest son's steward is not like him, the tiger king can only do some small things, and the eldest son is out of luck and already runs a large workshop.

That kid doesn't like to talk, let him be, but look at his own eyes, which makes him very uncomfortable, and he lets his son not say anything, but also let his son bear the strange eyes of others, which is the most unbearable place for the Tiger King.

How can you say that it is also a nine-rank martial artist, fight, let those bastards see, the tiger king is still the tiger king who dared to fight and dare to kill back then, he can't drag his son back, but he is a person who even has a grandson.

"Uncle Wang, this can't be done, there must be a plan, this is good, this time, you will follow me, and I will teach you how to form a command force. Renault said with a stir in his heart.

As a secret master, according to the rules of the secret master, he can't participate in any war, but unlike the national war of the Austrians, this is a race war, even if he can't go to the battlefield, he can send someone to join the war in the name of Shengong City, which shouldn't be a bad rule.

In fact, Renault doesn't care about the rules of the secret master, but if you live in Da Chu, you have to think about the problem according to the thinking of the people of Da Chu, if you break the rules of the secret master, will people still treat you as a secret master in the future?

Renault knew very well that he was able to build a Shengong City here, half because of the impact he had brought to the Chu people in the past few years, and the other half because he was in the name of a secret master, recognized and fully supported by all parties, otherwise what could he do alone?

"Commanding the troops?" Tiger King was dumbfounded, he originally wanted to go to the battlefield with his own strength, cut off a few more heads, and have military merits, so that his son's family would have a light on their faces, and let them know that the Tiger King did not rely entirely on Mr. to live his current life.

Listen to what Mr. means, do you want him to be a general?

"Of course, Uncle Wang, you think, you represent Shengong City, you naturally have troops, and you must win the battle, you don't have to worry about this, I will teach you for a while, and when the troops are formed, you will know that you will definitely not be defeated." Renault said confidently.

With the current industrial strength of Shengong City, it is too easy to create a powerful small army, not considering the strategic aspect, just a tactical victory, it is not like playing, as long as you don't encounter a large number of grandmasters or earth immortals, there is no reason to lose.

As soon as the news was released, Shengong City was lively, and I heard that Mr. was preparing to form a force of 3,000 people, and in less than a day, the number of people who signed up exceeded 10,000.

They watched the Shengong City be built little by little, and watched all kinds of workshops rise from the ground, and all kinds of armor were transported out like flowing water, and the troops formed by Mr. were definitely the most well-equipped in Dachu.

Coupled with Mr.'s secret skills, no one is stupid, and when he goes to the front line, the dead are certain, but the loss will never be great. Moreover, it is impossible for a force of 3,000 people to become the main force on the frontal battlefield, and the troops of Shengong City cannot be commanded by the military department, even if General Wei is here in person, does he dare to command?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this unit has gone to the front line, and it is to earn meritorious service, not only the military merits of Da Chu, but also the meritorious points of Shengong City, which can be exchanged for a lot of good things that cannot be bought with money outside.

Flowing clouds, rainforests, blue scenes, black phoenixes......

Sir, we are our own people, we are your descendants, this kind of thing can't be cheap outsiders, you see that we can transfer a lot of people here, now we can only be guards, and there is nothing important about the camps in Shengong City......

Feng Moyu, Lan Yunxi, Yuan Ling, Jing Lan, and even the people from Emperor Ji City came over to ask if they could transfer some people from their own department to join the Divine Workers Army.

This unit with a capacity of 3,000 people has not yet been seen, and even the name of the unit is known, it is called the Divine Engineer Army, and some people have even begun to prepare battle flags.

It's a good thing to be enthusiastic, and it's also a good thing to use the military's heart, but these people, Renault doesn't want to use them.

From all sides of the forces, they all have their own little abacus, not that the Tiger King can't command them, but these people are usually used to being wild, the army is different from the local forces, the emphasis is on orders and prohibitions, and they must rush forward in the face of the sword mountain and the sea of fire.

Counting on these people?

It would definitely be no problem when they fought with the wind, but if they were defeated, Renault suspected that they could escape faster than even the Tiger King of the Nine Rank Martial Artists.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have been following Lei for a long time, and seeing us build a Shengong City from scratch, we can't do without you here. Therefore, this team that is only on the front line cannot draw people from your side, not a single one, Shengong City needs you. Renault said calmly, this reason is still quite powerful.

Everyone left with a disappointed face, and if Mr. valued them so much and continued to fight, it would be shameless to give face. Although he failed to let his own people join the Divine Engineer Army, at least it is certain that Mr. takes a fancy to them, which is not a small gain.

When these forces joined, Renault still had to worry about whether they would be dominant, and now there is no need to think about these, there are hundreds of thousands of people working near Shengong City, and there are many officials from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households, or it won't be long before there will be an army of more than 200,000 people, responsible for guarding here, and there were dozens or hundreds of people in the past, which was not a matter at all.

"Uncle Wang, remember, the army is different from the private army, these people can't be used, although they are easy to use, but when you go to the battlefield, you will find that these people are unreliable. Give the coolie battalion a quota of 500 people, and tell them that it is purely voluntary, except for the first batch of coolies who become civilians, only those who perform well will be accepted to join the Divine Labor Army, and if the number is insufficient, do not force it. How many count. Renault said.

"Hmm. Only then did the Tiger King understand that Mr. did not value them, but looked down on them.

"All coolies who are willing to join the Divine Labor Army will be directly converted to civilians at the end of the three-month trial period, and at the same time will be provided according to the standard of normal sergeants, without discrimination. Renault continued.

The number of coolie camps has increased again and again, and now there are more than 50,000 people, except for the first batch, more than 300 people were selected to perform excellently, and after turning into civilians, the rest are still working hard, wanting to fight for their freedom.

"Huya, Zhenyuan-class warships, there are two of them under construction now, right? Renault turned to Huya.

"Yes, sir, there are two Zhenyuan-class ships, four Dingyuan-class ships, and ten fat ones. Huya looked at Mo Xiang and dared to reply only when he got a positive answer, his brain was not so bright, and he couldn't remember a lot of data.

The Zhenyuan class is equivalent to the first-class warship of the Great Chu Naval Army, with a length of 80 meters and a crew of 360 people. Compared to wooden battleships, ironclads are wider and have a larger displacement, reaching the 3,000-ton class, using twin boilers, sail-assisted power, and can run at a maximum speed of fifteen knots when there is no wind.

The Dingyuan class is slightly smaller, comparable to the second-class battleship of the Great Chu Navy, with a length of 60 meters, a displacement of 1,800 tons, a crew of 180 people, and the same double boilers, with a top speed of 20 knots.

As for the Fat Man, it is a pure transport ship, the same ironclad ship, with only a small number of bed crossbows, in addition to ramming horns, with a displacement of up to four and a half thousand tons, which can transport a thousand soldiers at a time.

With sufficient manpower, dozens of dry docks were started along the coastline at the same time, but most of them were in the air, and only sixteen were shipbuilding.

There are no big technical problems with pouring casting shipbuilding, as long as there is a knowledgeable person with a group of coolies and blacksmiths, you can start work. However, boiler production is a big problem, and today it can only be made by hand in the laboratory.

Fourteen ships, at least twenty-eight boilers are needed, Mo Zi is worried about losing his hair, and the production speed can't keep up at all. What's more, Mozi not only has to make boilers, but also has a bunch of R&D tasks waiting for him, Renault is really using people to death, Mozi is so busy all day and night that he doesn't even have time to go to the toilet.

It's not that Renault is ruthless, in the artisan camp laboratory, there are too few people who can do it, Zhang Tan and Xiaoman are all magic craftsmen, it's no problem for them to work, it's too difficult for them to engage in research, their thinking has long been fixed, and it's too difficult to change their thinking. In this respect, they are not even as good as those apprentices brought out by Mozi.

Now in the laboratory, in addition to Mozi, it is Luo Ning, who has only been in Shengong City for half a year, that girl is really a genius, in a short period of time, she has followed Mozi's footsteps, and now she can lead the R&D team independently.

From the initial disdain to the current worship, she didn't have many opportunities to contact Renault, but she saw too many magical things from Mozi.

As for the family, it has already been relocated, she heard from Mozi's mouth that the husband thinks that the battle with the Austrians will not stop losing in the early stage, and her hometown is in Lin'an Mansion, Hongzhou, which is the commercial capital of Dachu, and it is also the state capital by the sea, which is not safe.

Family business or something, Luo Ning doesn't care at all, she learns the secret art of Lei Shi here, even if the family property is lost, as long as she is given a few years, she can earn another richest man, not the richest man in Hongzhou, but the richest man in Dachu.

"Uncle Wang, a strong army must not only have an army, but also an air force and navy, and three-dimensional warfare on land, sea and air is the direction of future development. In the future, the unit you will lead will not only be used to fight, but will also be used to sum up experience and point out the direction for future wars. Renault said.

The Tiger King lowered his head, the tip of his pen moving rapidly, and he wanted to record it all.
