"It’s an adult …" Li Jiazhong motioned for a small copper lock to be directly hit by a butch soldier’s butt and then he was very skilled in boxing …
Instantly, a piece of golden light shoots directly from the box and shoots into the eyes of Zhang Wu and others.
Even if he was ready, Zhang Wu couldn’t help but exclaim "Gold is gold …" because of excitement.
"Hurry up and hit these boxes in the back …"
Stacked together, these boxes are all filled with gold outside.
Calculated according to a box of 12 thousand gold, these boxes add up to a full 102 thousand, which is almost 12 million if converted into silver
Ten boxes at present gave Zhang Wu such a big shock. What about more than one hundred boxes?
With a full face of expectation, Zhang Wu hurriedly ordered, "Go ahead and hit the remaining boxes. I really want to see how much silver this Sun Tianwu has made in Taiyuan and Company commanders mansion …"
One of the more than 100 boxes was filled with all kinds of silver outside.
In addition, a small room was found in the secret room of Zhang Wu, which was filled with all kinds of valuable rare celebrity calligraphy and painting.
At this time, I already know about the data. Li Jiazhong reported with a full face of excitement, "My Lord, there are a total of 102,000 gold and 1.32 million silver hidden in these boxes of rare treasures and celebrity calligraphy and painting. I guess the value is less than two million and two thousand silver …"
Zhang Wuda, who was shocked and opened his mouth, asked,’ That is to say, there are a total of 4.32 million worth of property hidden here … "
"Is a lot more …" Jia-zhong li big affirmation.
Chapter two hundred and forty-two Equipment Division
At this time, Zhang Wu’s face was even more shocked.
After taking a deep breath, he asked, "Where did he earn so much money from a small Taiyuan company commander of 4.32 million … Is it all because of his corruption …"
"But it’s impossible that Sun Tianwu is a Taiyuan company commander and not an ordinary Taiyuan magistrate. How many things can he ask him to take bribes?"
At this time, Lieutenant Wang once again said, "My Lord, I may know something …"
"We have always wondered whether it is true among civil and military officials in Taiyuan."
Glancing at the side slightly depressed, Lieutenant Wang, Zhang Wu directly waved and said, "General Wang, you can’t say anything, just don’t hesitate …"
"It’s your honor …"
Zhang Wu looked at Lieutenant Wang with a mysterious answer: "There has been a rumor among the civil and military officials in Taiyuan that Sun Tianwu is selling military assets. Besides this, Sun Tianwu also intervened in the whole salt and iron business in Taiyuan …"
"Selling military assets to intervene in the trading of salt and iron … is a very profitable business … now I finally know where Sun Tianwu’s silver came from, but let him think that it is our hard-earned silver now …" Zhang Wu said with a face of regrets.
Then he directly ordered Li Jiazhong, "Li Yingchang will give you the silver here … Remember that not a single box can be sent back to Taiyuan …"
"Lieutenant Wang, you also transferred one thousand elites from the army to escort …"
"In addition, I temporarily appoint you as the company commander of Shanxi Province. After the company commander of Taiyuan House returns to Taiyuan, I will report your affairs to the company commander’s adult and then report to the court to ask you to be willing to work for the company commander’s adult. Listening to the company commander’s adult commanding a company commander’s position in Taiyuan is absolutely impossible to run."
"Please rest assured … it’s never too late to be loyal to the company commanders’ adults at the end of the year …" After following Zhang Wu for such a long time, he finally heard that he wanted to hear the answer. Lieutenant Wang was no longer excited by his own heart and knelt down on one leg to make a big guarantee.
Zhang Wu nodded (turn) and continued, "Of course, loyalty to the company commanders is one aspect, and the ability of generals to unify their troops is also a very important aspect …"
"I have another one here that needs you to finish in half a month, and whether this can be completed smoothly is directly related to whether you can succeed as a Taiyuan company commander …"
"I won’t say much about your ability in training, but one of the biggest problems in Taiyuan is that the vacancy is too large … Even if you just disarmed two thousand private troops in Taiyuan and Company commanders mansion, there are still four thousand five hundred vacancies, and you will take half a month to fill the vacancy of four thousand five hundred people …"
"In addition, I also have a request that the vacancy of 4,500 people can be supplemented by the outflow of people from Datong, and the quality of new recruits should be guaranteed."
"In Taiyuan, fifteen thousand troops will be paid in full from today’s department. On the 1st of each month, Company commanders mansion will send the full amount of money to Taiyuan, and Company commanders mansion will send a letter directly to every soldier to completely put an end to the bad habit of eating money and deducting soldiers’ pay …"
Zhang Wu, the deputy general commander of Shanxi Province, carried out a large-scale army consolidation and property acquisition in Shanxi Province. Just now, Shanxi General Commander Wei Zheng also prepared for the expansion of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
The basic preparation for the expansion of the Tiger and Leopard Army from 15,000 to 50,000 is equipment, but the current production capacity of the artisan camp is 15,000, and the equipment of the Tiger and Leopard Army is even more difficult, and the equipment of the 50,000 Tiger and Leopard Army is even worse.
More importantly, behind this 50,000 tiger and leopard army, Zhang Wu will soon command 100,000 local troops.
There are so many troops, and the Wei Zheng has only a small artisan camp. This abnormal development is very obvious, which will bring a very fatal blow to the entire Tiger and Leopard Army of Wei Zheng at a critical moment.
So no matter strategist Kelly Y Zhou, Wang Feng, Zhao Yun and others have an idea that troops must have a former expansion camp if they want to expand their troops.
Otherwise, the current production capacity of the artisan camp can’t even be supplemented by the usual consumption of the Tiger and Leopard Army. What’s more, the expansion of the artisan camp by the expansion of the Tiger and Leopard Army is already an arrow that has to be sent.
After a day’s thinking, the defender has made a very big plan.
Kelly Y Zhou and others watched Wei Zheng as calmly as possible and said, "Brothers, my idea about expanding the artisan camp is that the artisan camp should not only expand on a large scale, but also transfer the production site …"
"As the Tiger and Leopard Army becomes more and more prestigious, our Tiger and Leopard Army has just been equipped with flintlock muskets, which will surely attract everyone’s attention. At that time, both the imperial court and the Tatars far away will spy on the flintlock muskets continuously produced by our artisan camp at all costs."
"When the time comes, our artisan camp will become a force of all parties and want to see the base …"
"And we all know that the flintlock is the root of our Tiger and Leopard Army’s current troubled times. Once the secret of flintlock is leaked, our firepower advantage will swing."
"So my idea is to ensure that the craftsman camp will keep the flintlock secret. We have to move the craftsman camp to a very secret production base …"
Strategist Kelly Y Zhou nodded his head by default, followed by the interface, "I support the general’s opinion. Since we want to expand the artisan camp, we will make a very thorough change to the artisan camp …"
"First of all, choose a new base with enough secrets for him to ensure that the flintlock gun, his advanced weapons and all kinds of secrets ensure that we can stand on our feet and not be snooped by others."
Speaking of which, Kelly Y Zhou suddenly turned to be in urgent need and said, "In addition, this base must also meet some other conditions …"
"First, this base must ensure that there are enough raw materials to deal with …"
"Second, this base must be conducive to defense. If it is attacked, the limited strength of the guard base must ensure that the base can persist until the arrival of reinforcements …"
"You may not know the current situation of the artisan camp, but even if the scale is expanded tenfold, the monthly firearms output will not change much. One of the most important reasons is that the raw material pig iron necessary for the production of firearms should be very insufficient …"
"Want to expand artisan camp must find enough raw materials …"
At this time, Wei Zheng said firmly, "Firearms are the lifeblood of our tiger and leopard army, and all kinds of pig iron and gunpowder needed to produce firearms are the lifeblood."
"In order to ensure the continuous development of the Tiger and Leopard Army, this lifeline must never be in the hands of others."
"So I intend to take this opportunity to set up a series of workshops such as mining, ironmaking, gunpowder production and firearms production, and set up a department to manage them."
Make an exception and come to this secret meeting. Wang Tiezhong, the general manager of the artisan camp, asked thoughtfully at Weizheng. "General, there is a department in the imperial court of Beijing that specializes in the production and distribution of ordnance, called the armory, which belongs to the Ministry of War. Is the general going to set up the same department?"
Weizheng didn’t hide anything, so he nodded and answered, "You said it was good enough to avert suspicion. I want to form this department, not called armory department, but directly called equipment department, and you, Wang Tiezhong, are the first director level of equipment department, equivalent to five thousand teachers of tiger and leopard army …"
"Psst …" After hearing Wei Zheng’s answer, Wang Tie gasped directly.
Not only the faces of Kelly Y Zhou and Wang Feng in Wang Tie, but also a look of unprecedented shock.
Because in their eyes, Wang Tiezhong is only a skilled craftsman even if he is valued by Wei Zheng again, but such a craftsman has not only become an official for the first time, but also a big official, which has to shock these people who have been poisoned by the idea of scholars, industry and commerce
Everyone stared at Wei Zheng and once again answered firmly, "You didn’t hear this equipment department director level wrong. If it is calculated according to the imperial court level, it will be plus four."
"One of the important reasons why I did this is to make people pay attention to these craftsmen and the equipment department."
"Anyone who wants to follow my footsteps must change your point of view. Craftsmen are no longer bullying inferior people, but have superb technical talents."
"It is with these talents that our Tiger and Leopard Army can be equipped with such good firearms. With these qualified firearms, our Tiger and Leopard Army can win one victory after another …"
"So we in the Tiger and Leopard Army should not only pay attention to those knowledge points, but also pay attention to those craftsmen with exquisite skills to encourage everyone to learn skills as craftsmen …"
At this time, a face of excitement, Wang Tiezhong suddenly knelt in front of Weizheng and sighed with emotion, "General Ying … Thank you for your understanding … Here, I kowtow to the general on behalf of all the craftsmen in Dachao. If there were no general, we craftsmen would still be hungry and cold."
"Not only do you not have enough to eat, but you are bullied and looked down upon as inferior …"
Chapter two hundred and forty-three Wang Chengen shocked.
In the face of the truth in Wang Tie, Kelly Y Zhou and others also showed a thoughtful expression on their faces.
Wei Zheng stared at Kelly Y Zhou and first affirmed, "General Director Wang said it was right. If we can really improve the status of craftsmen and tigers and leopards in the army, I am sure that the hearts of craftsmen will definitely be on our side."
Weizheng nodded and didn’t stay on this topic.
After some meditation, he decisively ordered, "Since everyone agrees with this idea, I will talk about my decision."
"As far as I know, the Taihang Mountains in the southeast of Datong not only bury a lot of coal mines, but also a lot of iron ore, which is more than sulfur and saltpeter, plus the dangerous terrain of the Taihang Mountains. I can definitely say that this is definitely the best production place for our equipment company."
"So I’m going to transfer the artisan camp, that is, the equipment department’s future production area, to the depths of Taihang Mountain …"
"Of course, I said that the production site of this equipment division is not a simple firearms production site, but a comprehensive production base that includes iron ore, ironmaking, gunpowder, ammunition, grenades and artillery shells …"
"This production base needs to rely on our own strength to continuously produce all kinds of equipment and ammunition for the troops. In my expectation, the total number of this equipment division will be less than 200,000 if family members are added … equivalent to the size of a county town in our dynasty."
"I checked the map of Shanxi very carefully. Lingqiu County, which is located in the depths of Taihang Mountain, not only has a very rich iron ore and coal mine, but more importantly, although this Lingqiu is located in a mountainous area, the traffic is very convenient and suitable for establishing our equipment company’s production base …"
"In addition, although Lingqiu is a county, there are less than 30,000 people who want us to move these 30,000 people out of Lingqiu or directly become craftsmen in the production base, so it will be more convenient for us to establish a production base in Lingqiu because the foundation of Lingqiu county is there …"
Speaking of which, Wei Zheng, regardless of whether several departments have reacted directly to Kelly Y Zhou, ordered, "Although Wang Tiezhong is responsible for this matter, you have to tie it up and manage it. After all, Wang Tiezhong has no experience in managing hundreds of thousands of people …"
