An Hualin replied: "There are not many in the treasury, only about 100,000 yuan, and the governor's palace and other yamen add up to hundreds of thousands of yuan, and there are a lot of deposits in the Daqing Bank, enough 16 million yuan, but most of them are depositors' silver, which cannot be easily used, and the remaining only about 4 million yuan is this year's annual income and transfer." ”

Although Daqing Bank is a political axe bank, it also has ordinary depositors and merchants who deposit money and lend money, so it is impossible for Chen Jingyun to use the deposit money in vain.

"So, now we can only use more than four million!" After Chen Jingyun heard this figure, he was a little unhappy, he didn't expect that the provincial capital of a dignified province would only loot more than four million silver dollars. I used to know that Fujian was poor, but I didn't expect it to be so poor.

For this amount of money, not counting the other expenses of the political axe, as far as the current military spending is concerned, it will not take a few months!

"Nothing else?" Chen Jingyun continued to ask.

Although Anwarin seems to be a small burden, this person has the ability, otherwise he would not have known the current financial situation clearly overnight, so he said with a bitter face: "This number should not change much, but I heard that the guard regiment and the gendarmerie are searching the city to clear the remnants, and this aspect should be able to earn hundreds of thousands of floating wealth, if the real estate, calligraphy, paintings, antiques and the like are sold out, it is possible to get another three or four million!" ”

What Anwarin said, Chen Jingyun knew very well that he personally ordered Lin Chengkun to do this. Before the search, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty did not lie in the people, but in the raid, and the raid was naturally for money, and the specific results were not yet known, but it was expected that there would still be millions.

"Plus! On the way, I met Commander Xiao and several other officers, saying that they were asking for military salaries! Anwarin continued: "And the number is not small, the opening is fifty thousand! ”

After hearing this, Chen Jingyun held his breath in his heart, and he was already a little aggrieved when he heard An Hualin say that the money for the property was so small, and he was even more angry when he heard that the group of people from the Alliance came to ask for money. Because in the previous meeting, they said that each family would donate tens of thousands, but so far, they have not taken out a penny, but Chen Jingyun has advanced tens of thousands of dollars by himself, which is still the cash he prepared earlier.

Chen Jingyun pondered for a moment and said: "The separation of military and government, although you are the chief financial officer, don't care about the specific military salary, in the future, all kinds of military expenses will go from my headquarters, they will ask for military salaries, let them come to me!" ”

After saying that, he tapped his finger on the table, and said after a while: "You first sort out the current finances, and then go to Lin Chengkun, and let the people from the Ministry of Finance cooperate with the house, and all the proceeds will go to the finance." ”

Later, many people asked to see him, Chen Jingyun put his heart on finance and military affairs, and he didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly took the guards to the barracks.

Yesterday, after the end of the battle, Chen Jingyun left Lin Wenying's second regiment, Li Jimin's fourth regiment, and Yuan Fang's fifth regiment outside the city under the pretext of guarding against Qin Yunian's troops in Changle County. For Chen Jingyun's above board order, others had no opinion, but only offered to supply ammunition.

Chen Jingyun couldn't go too far, so he could only allocate a batch of ammunition to them, and also sent a batch of miscellaneous rifles and matching bullets.

At this time, the first regiment and Xiao Qibin's artillery regiment were stationed in the south school field, and the newly established third regiment was still an empty shelf, and the guard battalion was stationed at the headquarters, and it was scattered all over the city with the military police regiment at this time.

After arriving at the South Campus, Chen Jingyun immediately summoned Ma Cheng and other officers to the conference room to understand the situation. Although the first regiment has the old foundation of the second battalion, there are too many Toucheng Qing troops who have joined in the past two days, and it is a problem to stabilize the surname, so Chen Jingyun confessed: "Replenish the recruits as soon as possible, and then disperse and disrupt them, and completely integrate them!" ”

"Humble duty understands!" Ma Cheng replied immediately.

Even though the first regiment had various problems, it was already a first-class combat force around Fuzhou. The veterans of the second battalion, the newly joined Qing soldiers, these people are all veterans, they can fight without training, and if these more than 1,000 veterans plus some new recruits, a regiment can quickly form combat effectiveness.

After the soldiers gathered, Chen Jingyun handed out the promised salaries and rewards on the spot, and finally said on the spot that the pensions of the fallen soldiers would be handed over to their relatives. This is the naked buying of the military's heart.

It works great! The soldiers were all holding silver dollars and smiling, and a few of them were still a little proud: they deserved to be the commander's soldiers, not only did they still live in the barracks, but even the silver came so soon, and I heard that the second regiment was still stationed outside the city, and even a large ocean has not been distributed until now.

Chen Jingyun wants this effect, otherwise how can he reflect the word lineage, and how can people work hard for him without these differences.

As for faith, for the country and the people, Chen Jingyun also wants to learn from future generations and use faith as a military salary, which can save most of the military expenses and convert them into weapons. You must know that in the current military spending, the salaries of personnel account for more than eighty percent, otherwise the new army would have built 180 towns by the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it would not have taken more than ten years to get more than a dozen towns.

In this day and age, being a soldier is a profession that can support a family, not an obligation!

In addition to the second battalion, Chen Jingyun also met with the soldiers of the artillery regiment, and also handed out the previously promised salaries and rewards. For this artillery battalion, Chen Jingyun is a little contradictory. On the one hand, Xiao Qibin of the artillery regiment is a core member of the Alliance, and like Lin Wenying, he is okay on the surface, but no one knows when he will oppose him. But on the other hand, the artillery regiment was so important that Chen Jingyun had to personally win them over.

In these years, there is a world of difference between having heavy fire support and not having heavy fire support, and this artillery belongs to a technical branch, and it is impossible to train it without a long period of training. This doomed Chen Jingyun to not treat the artillery regiment as the second regiment. Even Chen Jingyun thought that it would be best if he could win Xiao Qibin over, and if he couldn't win him over, he would also leave the artillerymen in the artillery regiment.

Subsequently, Chen Jingyun watched a coordinated exercise between infantry and artillery, which was decent and nothing special. But it also proves that after this upheaval, the artillery battalion and the 1st regiment still maintained their combat effectiveness.

In the afternoon, Li Lianyang found Chen Jingyun!

"Governor!" Li Lianyang came forward to salute and said: "The third regiment has been formed, but there is no ordnance and food!" ”

When Chen Jingyun heard this, he was a little surprised, he remembered that he only asked Li Lianyang to set up a new third regiment yesterday, and it was only a day of work, and he Li Lianyang pulled out a regimental shelf: "You pulled out a regiment?" ”

Li Lianyang smiled innocently: "How can there be, it's not a group, or it's three companies!" ”

Even three companies are enough to surprise Chen Jingyun, it's only been a day's work, where did he get so many people. Without waiting for Chen Jingyun to ask, Li Lianyang explained by himself: "After receiving the order yesterday, I received almost 100 recruits from Staff Officer Feng, and then dug up some Qing soldiers from Ma Cheng, and went out of the city in person in the morning, recruited some peasants, and gathered 400 people!" ”

"Good!" Chen Jingyun admired Li Lianyang's ability a little, and he brought in 400 people from all sides in one day, not bad!

"Since the people have arrived, let's set up a shelf first, and practice as many people as possible. As for the ordnance and rations, come to me! Chen Jingyun pondered for a moment and said, "I'll write you a note later, and then you go to Lin Chengkun and ask him to give you five hundred Hanyang-made and corresponding other weapons, as for the military salary!" I'll ask Staff Officer Feng to arrange someone to send it! The heads of the ministries don't have to meddle! ”

"Staff Officer Feng!" Chen Jingyun shouted, and Feng Qin, who had been following behind, immediately came up: "Here!" ”

"I've heard everything I said just now!" Chen Jingyun said: "In the future, all departments will handle it in this way, and the soldiers' salaries will be distributed by the staff of the headquarters. The heads of the ministries are not allowed to meddle! ”

The people present were all smart people, and when they heard Chen Jingyun say this, they immediately guessed Chen Jingyun's intentions, in addition to preventing the commanders of various ministries from embezzling and eating empty salaries, they also relied on salaries to concentrate military power, so as to prevent the commanders of various ministries from treating the army as a private army.

After Li Lianyang received the order, he found Lin Chengkun and took out a note to ask for a gun. Lin Chengkun is now wearing many hats, on the one hand, he is the commander of the guard battalion, and he wants to confiscate the family property of the former Qing Yu, and on the other hand, he also receives orders to guard the key points of residence in the city, such as the telegraph room and the armory.

"Made in Hanyang with 500 pieces! What a big appetite brother! Lin Chengkun immediately made a bitter face when he saw the strip in Li Lianyang's hand: "I said Commander Li, just one day, you pulled five hundred people to make up the third regiment?" ”

"It's not that I pulled down my old face to beg for it, Feng Qin and Ma Cheng went there several times, and then I pulled people into their hands!" Li Lianyang was anxious about the guns: "Don't say anything else, what about the guns, don't tell me if you don't have them!" ”

Lin Chengkun smiled: "How can it, there may not be other things, but this gun, there are still some!" ”

Lin Chengkun is naturally confident when he says this, there are more than 1,000 brand-new Hanyang and more than 2,000 second-hand Hanyang in the armory, needless to say, although the second-hand ones are old goods, they are well maintained, at least they can be used. In addition to the original inventory, many guns were seized from the defeated Qing army, most of which were also made in Hanyang. Except for yesterday, when he was on the battlefield, he was taken away by the second regiment, and everything else was in Lin Chengkun's hands. So now he has nearly 6,000 Hanyang-made guns in his hands, and there are also many other imported Mauser, Yuezao, Manlixia, Shuilianzhu and other miscellaneous guns, with a total of nearly 3,000 guns. Speaking of which, the imported Mauser and the rifles made in Hanyang are much better than those made in Hanyang, but the number is too small, and according to the requirements of Chen Jingyun's unified equipment, these guns with a small number are not equipped by themselves. Therefore, in the morning, Lin Chengkun sent a batch of supplementary guns to the 2nd Regiment, Li Jimin's 4th Regiment, and Yuan Fang's 5th Regiment stationed outside the city in accordance with Chen Jingyun's order, all of which were miscellaneous guns.

As for the rifle that Hanyang made that seemed to have a low surname and was not very advanced, it was left to his first regiment, third regiment, and guard battalion.

According to Chen Jingyun's idea, he doesn't care what he says in the future, but at this stage, he has 6,000 Hanyang-made products in stock, plus nearly 2,000 Hanyang-made ones that have been equipped, and he can make up a unified Hanyang-made reorganization. Needless to say, the benefits of unified equipment to logistics are self-explanatory.
