Luoyang, a Luoyang arsenal in the eastern suburbs. This was originally a prison, but in order to be able to build the Luoyang Arsenal faster, it also needed to be built secretly. Therefore, converting the prison into an arsenal is the best option.

Maybe it's because the prison itself has bad feng shui. Many craftsmen are very resistant to such an arsenal. , from construction, to renovation. From retrofit to production. The Luoyang Arsenal took a relatively long time. It took more than two months to enter the production process.

"Why is this musket so heavy?" The general He Jin said this with a new musket. The best is the Republican Army musket, which weighs about twenty pounds. This is followed by the West Park Arsenal. The weight is around twenty-five. However, the weight of the muskets produced by the Luoyang Arsenal reached an astonishing thirty-five catties. The worst part. The musket looked very rough. Because of the lack of polishing. If you don't use a bad rope, maybe some of the barbs will also paddle. Such a situation makes their situation very bad. Because once the musket appears horizontally, it will make their situation very unfavorable.

"This." He Mei didn't know how to explain it. The person in charge of the Luoyang Arsenal is He Mei. He paid serious attention to the arsenal and the production of firearms, after all, he had not participated in a single battle against the Red Turban Army, the predecessor of the Republican Army, which made it difficult for him to pay attention to the importance of firearms. But because of his special identity, he belongs to the general He Jin's line. Therefore, it was left to him to handle it.

"General, all this is a good thing done by the eunuchs." Yuan Shao excitedly stood up and explained. He Mei took the opportunity to nod.

"Why?" He Jin said.

"Those eunuchs transported a large number of iron tools to the land of the northern republican army. The IRA and the Eunuchs were in collusion. Why is there enough iron in the West Garden, but my arsenal is extremely insufficient? Yuan Shao said angrily.

"I was too worried about it at the beginning." He Jin persuaded like this.

"General. The eunuch party is seeking personal gain. Don't think others don't know. The IRA and the Eunuchs colluded with each other. Eunuch money bank. The proceeds of embezzlement are on the side of the IRA. Ay. There is a eunuch party inside, and there is a big trouble outside. Country. Yuan Shao said angrily. Yuan Shao said extremely extremely. The general was very uncomfortable after listening to it.

But it's also an important reason.

In order to seek the greatest benefits, Zhang Rang and other eunuch groups desperately concentrated a large amount of resources on the Handan side of the republican army. Because the benefits given there are the highest. The iron, copper, tin and other raw materials needed to make artillery were transported there in a centralized manner, because the republican army gave them the greatest benefits, and those things were exchanged for paper money, which in turn could become the original capital of the bank, Zhang Rang and other eunuch groups. In the name of supporters, a commercial bank of eunuchs was established, and they continued to lend money for profit, and their Emperor His Majesty also invested there. Buy bonds, stocks, and more.

Not only these current strategic materials, but they also transported other materials, such as tung oil, fierce fire oil, and a large amount of grain, and these grains turned out to be the military rations of the Xiliang Rebellion Army. The practice of Zhang Rang and others is completely the practice of traitors. This also had to arouse the indignation of Yuan Shao and others. But anger doesn't solve the problem. Because their arsenal could only produce such crude weapons.

The general He Jin was also very helpless, and he could only accept this. Actually, more reasons are still on them.

The craftsmen used in the West Park Arsenal are all from the royal family. and a national call-up. They are so good, and they have some subsidized money and food. But the craftsmen of the Luoyang Arsenal are all seconded and arrested, and they are themselves reformed from prisons, so many craftsmen think that this is the general who wants to arrest them and put them in prison. With this rumor, people are panicking. The general's remuneration for craftsmen is also extremely low. What the craftsmen need is income, but the treatment they receive is only to be able to eat enough, and whether they eat well or not is completely useless. In such a situation, there are many things that they cannot do, in terms of time.

In contrast, the Luoyang Arsenal was probably the worst.

The treatment of the arsenal of the Republican Army is the best, and if you do a good job, you can also enter the engineering college to study, or work as a professor to take more apprentices, and the invention will be produced from the results, once the application is extremely extensive, this is patented. Therefore, the motivation of the craftsmen is very high. Coupled with the existence of the Faculty of Engineering, the folk atmosphere has changed a lot, and they have become respectful of craftsmen. Because they can be honored as Mr. and so on.

You must know that the title of Mr. was previously reserved for those who read books, or those who were admired in the local area, and they were able to use the title of Mr., which made them feel that their status had risen. This is something that neither the two arsenals in Xiyuan nor Luoyang can do.

The advantage of the West Park Arsenal is that His Majesty the Emperor can requisition a variety of resources for his arsenal. And these resources are not very expensive. In comparison, the Luoyang Arsenal looks shabby.

It is precisely because of the lack of resources that the Xiyuan Arsenal can only produce 35 catties of muskets. With such a heavy musket, the actual combat significance is not great at all. The worst part is that this kind of battle is still going on, which is not as good as they can think at all.

In this regard, the only way for the great general He Jin to do it. It can only be endured.

Emperor Ling of Han's control over the army was strengthened. In particular, a large amount of resources were tilted towards the Xiyuan New Army, the Republican Army, the White Polish Army and the Xiongnu jointly rebelled in Hedong, plus the Xiliang Rebel Army, he was under great pressure. The Montenegrin thieves only accepted Zhao'an under the suppression of the Republican Army, and in fact, their threat could not be eliminated. This also increased Emperor Ling's emphasis on military affairs and adjustments. The military power of the great general He Jin was further weakened. As for the newly established arsenal, Emperor Ling of Han's attitude was to allow it, but it was secretly suppressed. This means that the supply of raw materials for his production will become very small. This also explains why Zhang Rang is so bold. All the materials originally allocated to the Luoyang Arsenal were transported to Handan in the north for greater benefits. Behind this is all the idea of Emperor Han Ling.

However, there is also a huge disadvantage in doing so, that is, the eunuch group has formed a greater contradiction with the civil and military generals group formed by the generals. This contradiction is irreconcilable. For example, the radical is Yuan Shao. There are also local generals, Dong Zhuo and others. With the passage of time, this kind of contradiction will inevitably intensify one day.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

Shang Wu can't manage so much now, and he doesn't know the intrigues on the side of Jingshi Luoyang. He has only one task, development. Actively developing all their strengths, all of them seem to be entering into an objective environment. Such a situation will have a great impact on them.

"The advice of the mountain brigade, I think it works. After all, building a larger military unit and allowing such a heroic unit to develop is conducive to the improvement of our combat effectiveness. Jia Xu agreed.

"Hmm. Our troops have done this many times before, and the troops with tradition and a sense of honor have shown their combat effectiveness to be very strong. Their combat effectiveness is also amazing, in fact, it has been proven that such a point is, and since this is the case, we agree. However, I think that in the period of development of the base area, we should give the greatest development to some excellent teams, and we should carry out a reorganization of the development of mediocre teams, and I think that such a team should be actively developed, give them a chance to develop, break up the whole into parts, solve the logistical supply by themselves, and establish a base area, so that we can reduce the pressure on our logistical supply in a relatively short period of time, otherwise, such a battle will not be able to be fought. Shang Wu said worriedly.

"Well, I couldn't agree more, we should decentralize at the right time. But we can't reduce the control of these armies, for example, soft control. Let their loyalty to our Republican Army should be strengthened somewhat. Jia Xu said.

"Yes, so, we need to mobilize some officers, some local businessmen, and some people with outstanding political achievements, mix them together, and influence each other's development, so that many things can actually be handled easily." Shang Wu said.

"That's what I do, I agree, and that's a big impact for us." Jia Xu agreed.

Because of the pressure of logistical supply, Shangwu had to develop the base area and reduce all the troops that had entered before into zero. In this way, they can sow the seeds and make their situation better, and in this case, their state will develop more favorably. This is an unprecedented benefit, and in such a situation, their state will develop even more favorable. It's better than ever.

And when they build more bases and expand their army, they are reorganized, so that they can develop new troops. It can be said that this is the best way to reduce logistical pressure and expand the army.

However, in order to do this, it is necessary to have the support of more local officials, which needs to be carried out from a military, economic, political, and multi-faceted perspective, and only in this way can their situation become more favorable, which is one of the important factors that may not be able to develop for everyone.

And this, the conditions of the Republican Army can be met. So, they are bound to succeed. Both Shang Wu and Jia Xu have such confidence. This brings us to the importance of parliament. They have to.
