Chapter 954: The Militia

Yours is ours.

Ours, not necessarily yours.

But let's make your life a little better.

Father-in-law Wei shouted this slogan from the bottom of his heart, he did not want to reform the Liyang Iron Farm and engage in public-private partnerships, but to improve the enthusiasm of the miners and porters in production, so that they could have a sense of belonging to the Liyang Iron Farm and his father-in-law Wei, and then be able to have a sense of ownership.

The enthusiasm to work for others can never catch up with the enthusiasm to work for yourself.

In the same way, the courage to defend the property of others is not as brave as the courage to defend one's own industry.

The Liyang Iron Yard is in Yingtianfu, resting under the nose of Nandu.

And Gonggong Wei can't stay in the iron field forever, and he can't always run to the southern capital to punish the small.

One thing can be one, not two.

Therefore, in preparation for the last rain, the father-in-law must form an armed team to defend the Liyang Iron Field.

In the absence of his father-in-law Wei, the strength of the Ming Imperial Army was difficult to take care of, and bravely took on the important task of defending the production and transportation of the Liyang Iron Yard.

There is no one more powerful and disciplined than the miners and porters of the iron yards.

Mobilize the miners and porters and exert their strength, and it will be enough to deal with all the ghosts, snakes, and gods.

In essence, miners and porters are the class of workers and peasants, guiding their class attributes and even making history.

Of course, it is impossible for my father-in-law to carry out a class revolution, in which case his own life would have to be reformed first.

Eunuchs originate from the people, but eunuchs who become officials are members of the ruling class.

Chen Gonggong, the supervisor of the Inner Garrison Department, can analyze the principle of eunuchs being self-reliant and class antagonism, but these miners and porters definitely can't do this.

Indoctrination and propaganda are always selective.

At least for the time being, Wei Gonggong will never introduce the theory of struggle hundreds of years later.

The father-in-law wanted to actually make all the people soldiers, and he incorporated all the miners and porters in the Liyang Iron Yard into the mine guard, which was divided into ten teams of 300 people each.

Each month, at least two teams are required to conduct military training for a period of three to five days, while each team is assigned a number of days so that they can take turns defending their duties.

It's like a team producing, a team on duty, and a team training.

When the production task is heavy, the rotation can be reduced; When the production task is light, you can increase the training.

As long as the work is properly scheduled, the cost of rotating to defend the mine and conduct military training is not much.

In order to encourage these mine guards to better exercise their responsibilities and even develop the idea of defending the mine with death, Wei Gonggong also spared no expense and set a rotating duty The mine guards can receive an additional ten copper subsidies per day, and they can also be provided with meat dishes by the iron yard on the same day.

First, it should be arranged like the militia of later generations, of course, it can be said that Wei Gonggong is engaged in a militia group, or that it can be said that the reserve training of the Ming Imperial Army in the Liyang Iron Yard can also be carried out.

This is a pilot project.

It has a semi-militarized force of nearly 3,000 disciplined, physical, hard-working miners, and porters, which must be in the hands of the father-in-law's cronies, and cannot fall into the hands of others.

It must be known that this semi-militarized force can evolve into a quasi-military contingent at any time, a complete army, and in the military formation of Wei Gonggong, there is even a division and regiment waiting for these miners.

How can such an important power be entrusted to someone else?

Just look around, but there is no suitable candidate around my father-in-law.

The children of the hometown are still in the polishing stage, and the relatives of the father-in-law do not have any outstanding talents.

In the end, General Oda recommended Captain Higashimura to be the captain of the mine guard.

Higashimura has always been a personal guard of his father-in-law, he is a member of the Fourth Army of the original invading Japanese army, and he is an excellent iron gunner. The father-in-law agreed to this choice, and he had no doubts about Higashimura's loyalty. Along with Higashimura, there were 20 Japanese officers and soldiers who were to be in charge of the training and organization of the Mine Guard.

To this end, my father-in-law specially allocated 100 firearms for the use of the mine guards, and 400 standard weapons were also allocated to ensure that the mine guards could defend themselves as soon as possible in case of emergency.

The candidates for each squadron and squad leader of the Mine Guard are nominated by the miners themselves, which can ensure the cohesion of the team and let the miners feel the joy of being the masters for the first time.

The large and small managers and account offices of the mines were assigned to the clerical office for specific management, and the affairs and operations of the iron yard were given by bus to his brother-in-law Wang Youxi, who had sent someone back to the Special Economic Zone to transfer his brother-in-law over.

After such a long period of observation, the father-in-law found that his brother-in-law was really not suitable for the army, and the father-in-law was afraid that his sister would become a widow, so he was transferred to manage the iron field.

It doesn't matter if my brother-in-law is illiterate, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know the account, he just needs to sit in this seat. There are definitely drawbacks, but at the moment, the matter is urgent, and the father-in-law can only let his brother-in-law take the top for the time being.

The father-in-law repeatedly instructed Dongcun that the mine guards must be organized and trained as soon as possible, because in three months at the latest, hundreds of people will be transferred from the Liyang Iron Yard to supplement the imperial army.

Higashimura deeply felt the weight of the family's entrustment, and was willing to do his best and die.

After that, the father-in-law met with Qiu Zhixian in Liyang, and talked with the other party, so that this Qiu Zhixian knew the importance of the iron field to Wei's father-in-law, and also made sure that this county knew the fate of going against Wei's father-in-law.

Qiu Zhixian is very obedient and well-behaved, Wei Guogong and they are not Wei Gonggong's opponents, how dare he, a little Zhixian, have other ideas.

Speaking of which, he is still grateful.

If it weren't for Father-in-law Wei, he would still be a dog of Xu Yuan's house, where could he really taste the taste of Bailihou.

After another day's delay, my father-in-law inspected all aspects of the iron yard and met with several private mine owners.

However, there are still more than 100 officers and soldiers of the horse team left, and they will stay in the iron field for a month to ensure that some guys in the southern capital will not take advantage of the main force of the Ming Imperial Army to leave and attack the iron field.

In fact, the southern capital has been staring at Liyang's side, and after hearing that Eunuch Wei led the troops away, many nobles were relieved. After that, they just blamed each other.

The Marquis of Fengcheng is really having a bad time these days, because the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Longping obviously don't regard him as a gang, but fortunately, the Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, the sincerity Bo Liu Xinchen, and the Dongning Bo Jiao Mengxiong still miss him very much, faintly, the Nandu Xunchen is divided into two pieces, and it is no longer as one nostril as before.

Wei Guogong couldn't fight, he couldn't retaliate, and he was really annoyed to watch Wei Gelding take all his soldiers away.

He has signed a joint letter with Xin Chengbo and others, and now it depends on whether the emperor is in charge of them.
