Chapter 204: There are many uneasy intentions
Just like Fengjiazhuang before, if Zhao Ming hadn't been born, most of them would have been ruined under the bandits.
Even if they survived the period when the bandits were the most, these big families did not dare to go out and run easily, mainly because they did not have enough armed manpower, for fear of encountering bandits on the road again.
And Fengjiazhuang has a lot of people and a lot of money, so it is naturally the fastest to recover among them.
In the letter, Fengjiazhuang's textile factory has been successfully opened in Xi'an, that is, the initial investment is relatively large, the acquisition of a lot of second-hand textile machines, spending tens of thousands of oceans, the rental of land, the recruitment of masters and so on.
The letter described that now that winter is about to begin, cotton clothes and quilts are selling very well, and about 5,000 net profits will be received in the first month.
However, the scattered dots have cost thousands of oceans, and now the cotton clothes are not sold, and if it is summer, it is likely to be unsalable.
In this regard, Feng Yunyun expressed some worries in the letter.
After reading this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but smile, it can be regarded as a good deal.
The net profit of 5,000 oceans per month, even if it does not sell well in summer, it is actually not worried.
Zhao Ming knows very well that war is a very resource-consuming thing, and the military will also make a lot of purchases, especially the Central Plains Battle in the following year.
The number of participants in the war was about 800,000, from early spring to winter, and the major factories were afraid that they would not be able to meet the demand by working overtime.
Zhao Ming is not worried that the military will not give money, and there are too many things to fish, and the factory will be yellow.
It's nothing more than a little less profit, but it's not a good choice for small profits and quick turnover.
And the follow-up wars continue, and this kind of just-needed items are really not sold.
However, it is true that there is no fast money from your own mine.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming was full of expectations for the development of the mine.
Now that the houses in the camp have been expanded, Zhao Ming will not let the captives rest, and if there is no other work, he will go to mining.
Anyway, it is an open-pit mine, and it can be collected a lot by pure manual collection, and the efficiency will not be much lower.
Now it can produce about five tons a day, which is really a bit of a bump, but there are not too many equipment for pure labor, and the situation of rail transportation construction can do this, which is enough.
When Boss Guo comes, you can see the piles of coal mountains at that time, and the mine can enter the stage of rapid development in a very short time.
For the next few days, everything seemed so calm, Zhao Ming did not let the brothers rob the Outer Mongolians, so he kept to himself, except for normal inspections, he did not touch the moldy heads of the Outer Mongolians at all.
I don't know what the Outer Mongolians think, and they haven't paid attention to this side since that day.
Now it's been almost half a month since the last night attack, and the result....
Except for a team of 500 people stationed at the old site of Pingqiantun for simple reconnaissance, he didn't want to deal with them at all.
If you think about it carefully, it's normal, artillery and heavy firepower have been captured, and now it's provoking such a group of people.
Not to mention whether it can be eradicated, even if it can be eradicated, the cost of manpower, material resources and time is huge.
Obviously, the Outer Mongolian people don't want to continue to consume, so they are in line with the way you don't move me, and I don't move you.
Zhao Ming also fell easily, urging the brothers to practice hard every day.
Not only are the herdsmen of the Chabei United Army training urgently, but Chang Wei and other brothers who have just arrived are also training their teams.
In addition, there was also Zhang Kai's group of later brothers in the Zhensong Army, who also had to practice equestrianism.
During the day, it is quite warm under the sun, but this is the temperature relative to the place, and it is also not comparable if it is in the south.
Here, everyone still has to wear jackets and practice hard against the cold wind.
Squatting on the wooden pier on the side, Zhao Ming puffed on his cigarette and looked at the brothers training in the distance and nodded from time to time.
However, looking at the bare scene on the mountain in the distance, I couldn't help but sigh.
In later generations, he has been to the grassland, and Ximeng has also been here, in fact, in some places with mountains, there are still patches of forests.
But in those days, the forest didn't exist, and from a distance it looked like it was bare everywhere, and there were some trees at the beginning of spring.
But before winter, it has long been cut down by herders.
At this moment, there was the neighing of horses, and when I turned my head, I saw several herdsmen in the horse pen giving birth to the horses.
This is quite strange, as the breeding season for horses is generally from April to August, which is the breeding season for northern horses.
Horses have a gestation cycle of about 11 months, so most horses give birth between March and July and August of the following year.
This season, I don't know if I can survive if I am born.
Now there are not enough horses in the stable.
Hundreds of horses were sold to Boss Guo one after another, which is actually nothing, but the loss of war horses in the recent war is not small.
Sometimes a simple horse is hit by an arrow and is shot once, even if it misses the four hooves and does not hurt the vital point, it is difficult for the horse to continue to act as a war horse.
Now the total number of horses is 3,000, and the number of old and young and wounded horses is less than 2,000.
It is estimated that after a few more fights, this horse will be far from enough.
"It's a real nuisance, and hopefully I'll have more horses next year."
Zhao Mingke also fantasized about forming a cavalry team of at least 10,000 people, but he couldn't be stillborn because of this.
In Zhao Ming's plan, cavalry is definitely an indispensable link.
It is a pity not to use this unique treasure land.
The cavalry wants it, and he wants the armored division later, but those have to be done slowly.
At least now there is an artillery battalion, right? What is missing is nothing more than ammunition and shells.
In the Central Plains, the cavalry still has a lot of room to play, even if it comes to the southern battlefield, the cavalry may not be of much use.
But who said it was necessary to retreat to the south?
Since it is an important time period to change the world, Zhao Ming has a lot of difficulties to recover.
He didn't want to see the tragedies of Pingdingshan, Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Panjiadaizhuang, Changjiao, Pingyang and so on.
There are too many sins committed by the Orientals in the land of China, and perhaps the well-known one is the Nanjing Incident.
But in addition, as early as 1894, when the Orientals stepped into the Liaodong Peninsula, they launched a massacre for four days and three nights, killing more than 20,000 people and bleeding rivers.
In the entire city of Arthur, there are only 800 survivors.
In the 28th year, that is, on May 3 this year, in Jinan, nearly 17,000 people were slaughtered by the Orientals.
The funny thing is that this turned out to be what happened before the Anti-Japanese War.
What's even more ridiculous is that this turned out to be the foreign aid sent by Marshal Zhang Zongzhuan, a warlord of the Feng family who was defeated and retreated during the Northern Expedition.
The Sixth Division of the Oriental people was worried that there was no excuse to enter Jinan, so they occupied all the major points in Jinan City in an instant.
Later, under the pretext that the national army plundered the Oriental expatriates in the city and massacred 12 people, they brazenly attacked the national army.
However, the headmaster repeatedly compromised and did not resist, resulting in the front-line soldiers having to retreat, causing the Orientals to take the opportunity to massacre the soldiers and civilians in the city.
The means used include bayonets, machine guns, grenades, poison gas, and so on.
What is even more outrageous is that the personnel sent by Nanjing to negotiate were also shot mercilessly.
The negotiator is also the director of the Foreign Affairs Office sent to Jinan by the War Political Committee, and he is also the special Shandong negotiator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Of the eighteen negotiators, only one survived.
And this is not an isolated case, in the past two hundred years in modern times, almost the vast majority of cities have had a tragic experience of being slaughtered.
How can any Huaxia child see this scene?
In fact, Zhao Ming is not an angry youth, in his previous life, he was a selfish ordinary person.
