Chapter 747 Examination of Wang Fuchen
Public debt can be simply divided into two categories - domestic debt and external debt.
Yang Chengying planned to issue 10 million taels internally, which would be used for major expenditures such as developing iron and steel, building railways, and recruiting people.
In addition, he has to borrow from abroad.
If we talk about borrowing internally, it is for economic development.
Externally, it is to test the reaction of all parties, which has political significance.
Especially the Li Dynasty.
Fan Wencheng is good at politics and can see Yang Chengying's intentions at once.
When everyone left, he left alone and asked puzzledly: "When the Houjin is not destroyed, the ministers of the Li Dynasty will be more obedient."
Now that Houjin has fallen, they are afraid that they will not listen to the king. ”
Yang Chengying not only asked Li Chao to buy public bonds, but also included conditions such as keeping the son as a hostage and allowing the Great Zhou Navy Division to garrison troops in Busan Port.
"I know." Yang Chengying changed his words, "I did this because I knew." ”
Fan Wencheng thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "The king is really far-reaching, I can't wait." ”
Times have changed.
Some of the practices of the past are no longer applicable today.
Without the huge threat of Houjin, some of the "loyal ministers" of the Li Dynasty would jump out and accuse Yang Chengying of being too domineering, causing them to lose money and food.
even ran to the Ming Court, a handful of snot and a handful of tears to complain.
If you don't give these hot-headed people a dismount, they don't know what "thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace".
Even if they keep to themselves, Yang Chengying must let them know who is the "father".
After such a long meeting, Yang Chengying felt back pain.
In order to move his muscles and bones, he went to the welcome team trained by Li Dingguo to inspect the training situation.
The 160 soldiers of the welcome party were almost the same in height and weight, and the yellow-maned horses they rode were also the same color, tall, short, fat and thin.
"The training is good, especially the back is straight."
Yang Chengying crossed his hands on his waist and said to Li Dingguo while moving his waist.
"The king can rest assured, his subordinates have been training in strict accordance with the drill rules, and they will never embarrass you at a critical time."
Li Dingguo said with his fists clenched.
"That's good."
At this time, Wang Fuchen, who was standing on the side, interjected: "King, when will you give me an army to practice." ”
Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Wang Fuchen, saw him rubbing his hands, and said with a smile: "What? It's boring to be a soldier for me? ”
"The king laughed, how can it be boring to be a personal soldier for you."
Wang Fuchen stammered and said: "My subordinates just have itchy hands, and they want to train an elite team for the king, and charge for the king in the future." ”
Before the words fell, a cold snort came.
The person who spoke out was Li Dingguo.
"What are you laughing at?" Wang Fuchen's face darkened.
"I laugh, the king just said at the court meeting a few months ago that he would take a five-year break. For so long, I need you to charge into battle. ”
Li Dingguo said sarcastically.
Wang Fuchen met an opponent and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"You ......" Wang Fuchen had nothing to do, so he had to turn his head to look at Yang Chengying: "King, he is too much." ”
Yang Chengying laughed: "Ma Harrier, do you really want to lead troops to fight?" ”
Ma Harrier was the nickname that Wang Fuchen gave himself when he was in the peasant army.
"Huh?" Wang Fuchen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded happily: "Yes!" ”
Li Dingguo was also stunned.
"Okay, you come with me, if you can pass the test, I'll let you lead the troops to fight."
Yang Chengying said with a smile.
"Really? The king, you have no jokes. Wang Fuchen shouted.
"What nonsense! I'm just a word, don't read for a few days, and use words blindly. ”
Yang Chengying hurriedly corrected it.
"Yes, yes, the king is a golden mouth, and he will never regret it."
Wang Fuchen smiled.
"You come with me." Yang Chengying turned around to leave.
I heard Li Dingguo shouting: "King, you really want to let this stunned boy go out to fight." ”
He was a little unbalanced in his heart, and he also wanted to lead his troops to fight.
"Everyone has their own business, and when you complete the task well, I will also give you a chance."
Yang Chengying said: "Also, the horse harrier may not be able to pass the test. ”
Li Dingguo didn't say anything.
Yang Chengying led Wang Fuchen to the shooting range of the Ordnance Bureau, where Yu Suzhen's women's barracks were stationed.
They were originally in Chaoyang County, but with the stabilization of the situation in Shenyang, they moved here.
As soon as I arrived outside the venue, I heard a crackling sound inside.
It's a female soldier who is practicing her guns.
Yang Chengying led Wang Fuchen, who looked surprised, and walked in.
When the female guards saw that the person who came was the king of Zhou, they saluted and let them go.
When they arrived at the shooting range, Yu Suzhen greeted her: "Wang, our department is conducting a shooting experiment with the Wuwei No. 0 gun. ”
Yang Chengying nodded, let Yu Suzhen lead the way, and arrived at the shooting range.
Bi Maokang is also there.
He was observing the shooting of the gun.
Through observation, the frequency of each gun, the number of shots of the gun, and the heat of the gun are recorded.
Based on these data, the material of the barrel of the rifle is corrected.
In short, it is necessary to use all means to reduce costs and achieve the conditions for mass production.
Even when he saw Yang Chengying coming, the experiment did not stop.
Bi Maokang and Yang Chengying just hugged their fists in greeting.
"Your Majesty, what did you bring me here for?"
Wang Fuchen asked curiously.
Yang Chengying did not answer directly, but ordered Yu Suzhen to take a gun.
"Here, you take this gun and shoot three shots at the target."
Yang Chengying asked Yu Suzhen to hand the gun to Wang Fuchen.
The Wuwei Zero gun is based on the Enfield 1853 rifle, with a length of 1.4 meters and a weight of 4.6 pounds.
Wang Fuchen took it in his hand, weighed it, and felt quite competent.
"Shoot!" Yu Suzhen urged.
Wang Fuchen was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.
Yu Suzhen snatched the firearm from Wang Fuchen's hand, "See clearly, how to load ammunition!" ”
With that, she followed the example of firearm handling and began to reload her ammunition.
Wang Fuchen's face flushed: "Bai Guangen's mother-in-law is really fierce." ”
Before the words fell, he turned his head and saw Yang Chengying's serious face, and hurriedly stopped his mouth.
"Here you go." Yu Suzhen finished loading ammunition and handed the gun to Wang Fuchen.
Wang Fuchen learned the posture of the female soldiers holding their guns and fired at the distant target.
Then the shooting range rang out with the burst of laughter of female soldiers.
Yang Chengying couldn't help laughing.
The rifle has a maximum range of 1140 meters and is equipped with a simple sight.
Wang Fuchen fired a shot and hit the target.
But, it's someone else's.
Wang Fuchen's face turned even redder: "King, my subordinates have never used this kind of gun before, so it's normal that I don't know how to use it." ”
Yang Chengying smiled bitterly: "I really don't blame you. When you hit the bull's-eye, come back to me on an errand. ”
"It's that simple?" Wang Fuchen blinked.
"Simple?" Yu Suzhen smiled, "It took Commander Ma (Ma Guangyuan) the best marksmanship for a month to barely hit the bull's-eye. ”
Wang Fuchen was stunned for a moment.
Yang Chengying said solemnly: "Her words are not wrong. You ask the General Armament Department to allocate a rifle with 140 rounds of Migne, and I will personally teach you how to use the gun. ”
"Yes." Wang Fuchen straightened his waist.
Yang Chengying turned around and left, and saw Cao Bianjiao: "You are the same as him." ”
"Yes, my lord." Cao Bianjiao was excited.
