At the same time as summoning the Leiden Zhuwen and Wu to Penglai Pavilion for discussion, Li Xingzhi also readjusted the personnel of the newly compiled Sixth Town and the New Sixth Town.

Like the previous newly organized towns, Li Xingzhi also adopted the mode of transferring officers and deputy generals, and transferred Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming's cronies Ban Zhifu and Xu Erxian, as well as Qin Guocheng and Geng Zhongde, to the fourth and new fourth towns that were originally stationed in Dengzhou.

The main generals of the original Fourth Town and the New Fourth Town, Zoma Sande, Zheng Qian, Wan Youcai, Shi Tian and others were all transferred to the newly organized Sixth Town and the New Sixth Town, which was also to prevent Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming from supporting their own troops.

For Li Xingzhi's arrangement, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming did not dare to oppose it at all, they were originally three family slaves who defected to the Qing Dynasty and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and their own families were all in Li Xingzhi's hands, even if they wanted to disagree, it was impossible.

Of course, Li Xingzhi did not blindly use strong means to force the soldiers of the Han army who followed him back to Shandong to submit, and after issuing the transfer order, Li Xingzhi transferred 300,000 taels worth of silver from the military marshal's office to reward the four towns left in Leiden and the two newly organized towns.

In this expedition to Liaodong and the capture of more than 1 million taels of silver captured in Shenyang, Li Xingzhi did not take a penny, and all of them were rewarded to nearly 40,000 soldiers in four towns and one battalion and Shuishi Town.

Li Xingzhi was anxious to reward the three armies, in fact, in order to appease the four towns of the Jingbei Army and the newly formed Sixth Town and the 30,000 troops and horses of the New Sixth Town that remained in Shandong, and he was also the main force of the Central Plains and Beijing Division.

300,000 taels of silver are divided, and each soldier can get 10 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the income of ordinary officers and soldiers in the Ming court for more than a year, and it is also equivalent to the income of officers and soldiers in Jingbei for five months.

After all, since Li Xingzhi led his troops to settle down in Leiden, Li Xingzhi has often had generous rewards.

Anyway, the Han army flag of Guiming is different, according to the Manchurian custom, the Eight Banners Army did not have military salaries, and even their war horses and weapons had to be raised by themselves, in fact, they relied on looting to arm themselves.

The Han army under Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming has only been in the puppet Qing Dynasty for four or five years, and they have not entered the customs with the soldiers of the Eight Banners to rob them, so these officers and soldiers of the Han Army Banner are not having a good time in Manchuria, where have they seen so much silver.

As the saying goes, the eldest husband cannot be without power for a day, and the younger husband cannot be without money for a day, and the newly lowered Han military banner did not have any resistance to Li Xingzhi's transfer of the town generals under the appeasement of a large amount of silver.

When they heard that the newly transferred officers and deputies had announced the Jingbei Army's reward and punishment regulations and salary standards, the soldiers of the Han Army were even more joyful.

In these years, when you are a soldier and eats food, don't you pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, isn't it just trying to take advantage of a few dollars, and your wife and children are hot on the kang? As for those high-sounding slogans, ordinary big-headed soldiers do not understand at all.

Through the means of exchanging Zuo and smashing silver, Li Xingzhi did not say that he suddenly gathered the hearts of the 10,000 Han army banners, but at least he got their approval.

September 20th.

The main military commander of the Jingbei Army stationed in Leiden, Qian Tianxi, Li Youcai and other civilian officials finally arrived at the Penglai Pavilion Military Marshal's Mansion.

"Mr. Wang, Ben Shuai has recently compiled two new military horses from two towns, I wonder if your manufacturing bureau has enough weapons and equipment to deploy?"

On the main hall of Penglai Pavilion, Li Xingzhi took the lead in looking at Wang Hui, the ambassador of the Manufacturing Bureau.

"Dashuai, after you set out on the expedition, the sincerity of Nandu Bo Liu Kongzhao allocated more than 3,000 craftsmen and the corresponding money and grain, and the production capacity of our manufacturing bureau has been further improved, and in the past two months, a total of 15,000 sets of cuirass, 15,000 sets of cotton armor, 18,000 medium arquebuses, more than 5,000 heavy arquebuses, in addition to 200 major general cannons, more than 500 small cannons of 800 and 600 catties, and 160,000 catties of medicine, enough for Dashuai to add another town."

Wang Hui originally gave up his post as an observer of Liaohai to join the Jingbei Army because Li Xingzhi had always taken Pingliao as his post, and since the street Liaodong War Report learned that Li Xingzhi had won a great victory in southern Liaoning, Wang Hui was wholeheartedly in the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, in his words, he was just a powerless literati, and now the officers and soldiers of Jingbei can use the weapons they have built to defeat the Manchurians, which is indirectly their own battle to kill the enemy.

"Okay, Mr. Wang has worked hard, although Ben Shuai has recovered southern Liaoning, there are still nearly 100,000 main forces in Dongyu, Liaoyang and other big cities are still in their hands, and the affairs of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau still have to worry about you."

Li Xingzhi looked at the old king more and more, although this old man was a little stupid and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but he did not interfere much with his own administrative measures, and wholeheartedly built weapons for himself in the manufacturing bureau, with him recruiting yuan, he did not need to worry about the weapons and equipment of the Jingbei Army.

"Marshal, while building the standard equipment of our Jingbei Army, our manufacturing bureau also made a batch of clay pot grenades, that is, all the arsenic, gunpowder and small iron pieces are stuffed in the clay pot and connected to the lead, although the power is worse than the earth-shaking thunder, but it is light and flexible, and ordinary soldiers can carry it."

"Well, is there any flaw in this weapon?"

When it comes to clay pot grenades, Li Xingzhi can't help but think of the thunderbolt bomb in Li Dingguo's army, but according to Wang Hui's introduction, this clay pot grenade is estimated to be much smaller than the thunderbolt bomb, and it should be similar to the grenade in later generations.

"The marshal asked, the only defect of this clay pot grenade is the fire rope connecting the clay pot, if this fire rope is long, the lead will be easily trampled by the enemy after throwing it out, if it is short, the old man is afraid that it will hurt our own soldiers."

"Mr. Wang, there is no problem with this, we can choose warriors with great strength and strong arm strength, and then let them equip a big shield!"

Li Xingzhi waved his hand, the power of black powder in this era is limited, and there is a big shield to protect the whole body, even if this clay pot grenade is thrown out and exploded, it will never hurt his own people.

"Mr. Qian, has there been any change in the route of the Japanese Kingdom in the past two months, and how much is the income of the City Shipping Division? Do you have any statistics over there? ”

After learning about the weapons reserves of the Second Mansion of Leiden, Li Xingzhi's eyes looked at the city of Bo Si to raise Qian Anning.

Qian Anning hurriedly stepped out of the queue, bowed down and replied: "Qiqi Marshal, after you set out on the expedition, the Yamen and the Wa Kingdom did another trade, a total of eighteen ships of goods were loaded, including a ship loaded with 200,000 copper coins, according to the requirements you set for the one-to-twenty exchange of copper ore, we transported back a total of four million catties of copper ore this time, and we made a total profit of 1.1 million taels for the rest of the products, but now there are gentry from Jinan Mansion and Nandu to participate in the shares, we only took 500,000 taels. ”

"Okay, Mr. Qian did a good job!"

According to the calculation ratio of the Ming Dynasty, this time the Jingbei army got 300 tons of copper at once, which greatly alleviated the dilemma of Shandong's lack of copper, as for the merchants of Jinan and the nobles of the southern capital of 600,000 taels of silver, Li Xingzhi is also quite agreeable, after all, high returns can defraud more investment, Li Xingzhi does not think that after the success of Jingnan, the nobles of the southern capital still dare to ask for money from themselves.
