Chapter 7: Trouble [For the Fleet Admiral Wen Ruojia]

The geese have left a name, Chen Mu has left a name in Guanghai, and Guanghai Acropolis has left a big gap.

Shi Qi didn't mention it, he forgot about it.

Commander Chen patted his head in annoyance, and looked at Shi Qi helplessly, "I knew that I wouldn't bomb the city, and if it was blown up, it would have to be repaired, you go back and calculate a charter, see what is needed to repair the city, and I will send someone to report to the military gate to see how much support Guangdong can give, and after it is completed, it will be used as the garrison of Xinning, and it will be called Guanghai City in the future." ”

"Not only Guanghaiwei, but also Nanyangwei, we will also build an acropolis!"

Chen Mu shook his head, he was very worried, repairing Guanghai City is a trivial matter, and building a new city is a big matter, but he doesn't even have an acropolis in Nanyangwei, and sooner or later he will have to repair the city, but how to repair it?

"We don't have to say that we make guns and cannons in the South Seas, there will be no one in the world who is better than us, but we can build cities?" Chen Mu patted his face in distress, "If you don't let Zhou County, no, Governor Zhou will help you with the staff, he has supervised Chenghai, it should be a little ......"

Before Chen Mu finished speaking, he saw the eighth master standing beside him expressionless and bowed his head and said softly: "Chenghai has been burned, and the county has been breached." ”

"Deng Qianhu, will you build a city?" Chen Mu glanced at Wei Balang, this dead child has grown taller and his heart is also taller, and even the prefect of the family can't look down on it, "Chen is really impatient in this matter, unless there are a few people who know how to do it, I can mix something in." ”

Speaking of building a city, who doesn't know the benefits of a fortress, but the problem is that Chen Mu doesn't even have a talent who knows how to build a city, building a fart fort, he has never presided over the construction of a city, at most he has built a military fortress, but the temporary military fortress for land warfare is not the same thing as the coastal defense town he wants to build in front of him.

Chen Mu overturned a historical monument with his own hands, and now he wants to build another historical monument, which will still be useful in one or two hundred years as a coastal defense town.

Guangzhou is the gate of the enemy's attack from the sea, and it naturally makes sense to build a fortified city in this geographical location.

It's useless, you can't rub a city empty-handed.

Chen Mu was worried, but Deng Zilong asked as if he hadn't seen it, "Why is the general worried?" ”

Ask while knowing the answer!

Who knows that Deng Zilong then smiled and said: "The defense line of Shushan City in Sichuan in the Song Dynasty, more than ten cities such as Qingju, Dazhu, Diaoyu, and Yunding, the general doesn't know where it was built?" ”

"You say it's the Sichuan-Shu defense line, of course it was built by the Sichuan people, Diaoyu City, kill the city of Meng Ge Khan." Chen Mu didn't know what Deng Zilong meant by this, "You look like a mountain man has his own clever plan, could it be that the ancestor of the Deng family cultivated it?" ”

But Deng Zilong doesn't look like a master of city building, but like a city demolition expert.

"Where is the ancestor of Deng, but it is indeed a mountain man with a clever plan, the general just met it a few days ago, Yang Yinglong." Deng Zilong pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Banzhou people have always been good at building cities and building villages, why don't the general ask him for some stonemasons, borrow a few earthworks who specialize in building cities, and build a mountain city in Xiangshan?" ”

Banshu stonemasons?

"Diaoyu Castle was built by Banshu people?"

"Banzhou Erran, they are Banzhou people, although they have not worked for the Yang family, but the craftsmen used are Banzhou craftsmen, the dynasty has changed, my ancestors expelled the northern captives and returned to China, the craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation will not change, the general wants to build a city to find Banzhou people, there will be no mistake!"

Looking for Yang Yinglong's little plague god?

"I wrote a letter to the Banshu Propaganda Department and asked them to transfer some craftsmen. Banzhou will be adjusted, and if it is not adjusted, it will be a big deal to sprinkle silver, so that no one will be invited to build the city. ”

Deng Zilong's face changed when he heard Chen Mu's words about doing this business, he knew that the Yang family intended to marry Chen Mu, but others didn't know that now that several thousands of households were there, Deng Zilong didn't say much, and continued to sit upright with his fists in response.

"Well, then, it's just a matter of the last one." Chen Mu wrote down the letter he wrote to the Banzhou Propaganda Department in his notebook, and looked up and said, "Xinhui Thousand Households, Huang Thousand Households." ”

Huang Dexiang's thinking is not difficult to understand, Chen Mu is from a serious guard army, and understands what these thousands of households are thinking in their minds, it's not that they don't know that more flag troops can make meritorious contributions in wartime, nor do they know how powerful the flag army is, but it's mainly two problems.

There are three or four hundred banner troops, and the rest of the army can take care of the farmland of thousands of households when they are tired and hard, and any more in Chengping is a waste of food. The other is desertion, one person does the farm work of three people, there is no sense of honor and humiliation but is full of humiliation, and being enslaved at will will bring a huge sense of humiliation, so that the flag army will flee from the guard.

And once they escaped, no one was willing to use their own silver to recruit soldiers into the guard, the treasury was just the flag officers up and down their hands were taken out, and Chengping's flag officers were not having a good time, the fewer the soldiers, the less food, the lower the combat effectiveness, the more unsuccessful the ranks, the poorer, the more they had to desert.

At this point, an ordinary thousand households can actually no longer reverse the decline of the guard, unless it is a guard officer like Bai Yuanjie who has a deep foundation and has been in power for several generations, but such a guard officer generally has no lofty ambitions.

This is the dead end of the guard.

To put it bluntly, the lack of manpower cannot form an effective monetization channel.

Not everyone has Hao Jing, and not everyone has Bai Yuanjie's ambitions.

"Huang Qianhu doesn't know the source of Xiangshan's income, Xiangshan's income and combat power are all Yu Ding." Chen Mu knocked lightly on the table and said: "The flag army can eat flesh and have a strong physique, because of the surplus animal husbandry of the army; The uniform color of the flag army is a woman weaving in Xiangshan; The banner army has excellent armor, and it is the craftsmen who work day and night in the ordnance bureau; The income of Xiangshan is the reward of war merits and the cultivation of military tun, and the abundance of Xiangshan's guard treasury is the credit of easy to sell silk. ”

"A thriving thousand-household house can form labor, sell, and feed, which are interlocking." Chen Mu didn't say the new word industrial chain, but just drew a circle on the table, and asked Huang Dexiang: "Chen Mou in Guangzhou has seen Huang Qianhu's courage and fearlessness of death, and now he is just recruiting some flag troops, is it more terrible than fighting against the Japanese invaders?" ”

"Humiliation does not mean to oppose the general."

Huang Dexiang said this sincerely, everyone's cognitive level is different, sometimes the kind words have to worry about being misunderstood, said: "I am not afraid of lowly duties, but the new will raise flag troops is not as easy as many thousands of households, and it needs silver taels. ”

Silver, now Chen Mu is most lacking in silver, "Quasi, you are allowed to recruit 500 native soldiers, and then fill the new club with 200 households of Gou Township in Xinhui County, and allocate you 600 taels of silver, is it enough?" ”

Huang Dexiang had nothing to say, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Send someone to set off on the same day, and within four months, five hundred banner troops will be recruited to return!" ”

"Scatter! You will rest at the Guard's house today, drink some wine, and it will not be too late to set off tomorrow. ”

Chen Mu ordered with satisfaction, ordered everyone to go down to rest, looked at the notebook again, and looked at the notebook if there were any omissions, but when he raised his head, he saw Deng Zilong still sitting not far away, and asked, "Brother Wuqiao, is there something wrong?" ”

Deng Zilong nodded, then got up and said to Chen Mu in confusion: "The general doesn't plan to marry the Yang family, so he is thinking about the Drum Belly Tower?" ”

Chen Mu paused for a moment, Deng Zilong is in his forties, he is a serious person, seeing that his expression is very cautious, Chen Mu shook his head, thought for a while, and said: "Chen doesn't have to marry the Yang family, without the help of the Yang family, he is living well...... I don't want to get in trouble. ”
