Chapter 493: No Idleness

The will went down to Tianjin Wei, and Tan Bing and Li Hutou became the commanders of the two regiments. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the name of the troops, it is always more powerful, what tiger, leopard and the like, but the Huwei battalion is very boring, Tan Bing is called the first regiment, and Li Hutou's is called the second regiment.
The Huwei battalion is not only two regiments, but also some do not need to be reported to the Beijing division, Wang Tong directly under the jurisdiction of the horse team, 260 cavalry, and 100 horsemen, a total of 360 cavalry, a total of 320 artillery troops, two regiments each have a battalion of firearms, a total of 400 people, on weekdays by Wang Tong personally trained, wartime assigned to the management of two regiments, this is actually equivalent to Wang Tong's personal barracks.
The elites of each battalion of the two regiments were on duty in rotation at Wang Tong's mansion, which was also to listen to Wang Tong's orders at any time, and Wang Tong seemed to have set up a hierarchy of regimental commander and regimental deputy between himself and the battalion officers, but in fact, the control had not been reduced at all, and even strengthened.
This is the case in the army, the inspection of the Haihe River and the canal, the team of Bao Danwen to investigate and seize smuggled salt, the thousands of security troops, and the hundreds of people on the bow of the boat, all of which are under the direct jurisdiction of Wang Tong, needless to say.
After the will of the Jingshi was issued, Wang Tong urged the team to send gold and silver on the second day, although according to the usual practice, the fifteenth day of each month is the time to send it.
…………
"Bastard thing, why did you only ram it three times, and when the time comes, you can still kill the enemy by listening to the sound!!"
In the camp of the training camp, a fire soldier who was in contact was kicked down by the general behind him, and was ordered to get up, knelt there, and was beaten five times with a wooden stick by the instructor.
"Whatever you see, keep practicing!!"
In fact, the fire soldier on the side just glanced at it, and was immediately scolded back by the officer.
In the camp, rows of fire commanders kept raising their fire commanders in their hands, reloading ammunition, then shooting, and then repeating the above movements.
If there is any mistake in the movements of the fire commanders, they will be called out by the trained generals, and they will be served by the military sticks according to the situation, and the shouting and scolding will be woven together with the roar of the fire hammer.
Wang Tong watched from the platform on the side, followed by a group of people, Li Tao and Sun Xin were appointed as the deputy of the regiment, because of the importance of the fire commander, Wang Tong let them concurrently lead the position of firearms battalion officer.
"If you set up the rules, those who break the rules must fight according to the rules, don't be soft-hearted, if you don't fight enough Jiaoyu at this time, you will kill him on the battlefield in the future, do you understand?"
Wang Tong looked at the lesson over there, his face did not move, but he opened his mouth and said to the two teenagers beside him, Li Tao and Sun Xin were both solemnly obedient, but the fire of the artillery team was also here, after listening to Wang Tong, he said with a smile on the side:
"Master, although the method of the fan people is rigid, but the training is useful, the soldiers do it at a glance, but there are many conveniences on the battlefield, these big brands are also wonderful methods, do it wrong and do it right, look at it is to understand it in your heart."
On the left and right sides of the school field, there are one-person-high wooden signs, but on them are the humanoid movements depicted by the painter using the method of the Francophone machine, which are all how to load the ammunition and how to cast the fire system, which is clear at a glance.
The smell here is quite strong and pungent, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the smell of fire medicine is naturally not very good, but Wang Tong has always looked at it carefully and doesn't care at all.
Sun Dahai stood behind him and hesitated, but still spoke:
"My lord, the bill that came up in the newspaper yesterday, and the daily consumption of the 400 people of the firearms battalion is almost catching up with the first regiment and the second regiment, isn't it too wasteful?"
"How to waste?"
"The cost of casting ammunition every day is really not small, and now our lead pills and fire pills have to be made by the workshop alone, which is a few percent more expensive than the one received from the official arsenal......
"Live ammunition shooting, when you get to the battlefield, you don't panic, the first day of training, and when the soldiers open fire, they are so frightened that they lose the fire system, you see now, they are stable."
Wang Tong replied in a deep voice, looking at Sun Dahai and talking about it, although Sun Dahai didn't understand the reason, but after all, it was also for the sake of Huweiying, so he continued:
"This kind of training should continue to be done all the time, after all, this money is a small amount of money, and it is a big deal to train a usable army and horses."
Wang Tong said this, Sun Dahai has no objections, he is now equivalent to Wang Tong's big housekeeper, and he has to ask about money in and out, and he does his duty to put forward his own suggestions on this.
After watching for a while, Wang Tong got off the wooden platform, but Li Tao and Sun Xin did not dare to slack off, and continued to urge the soldiers to practice, now it is different from the security army at that time, the security army is their own world for a few martial arts teenagers, and it is to maintain law and order everywhere in Tianjin, so Wang Tong does not pay much attention.
But now he is the general of the Huwei Battalion, and the training of soldiers is under Wang Tong's assessment everywhere, and the quality of training is directly related to his own ability, and he has to use a lot more spirit than before.
Speaking of which, since the appointment of the martial arts teenagers in the Huwei camp is the decree of the Son of Heaven, their official position Wang Tong cannot be moved lightly, and it is only polite to be promoted and transferred, but several teenagers dare not slack off, and practice diligently every day, Wang Tong's daily attention is the biggest spur for them, if Wang Tong is dissatisfied, or not as good as others, that is the most shameful thing.
Walking off the wooden platform, Wang Tong smiled at General Tan and said:
"They didn't do it because of Your Majesty
Originally, I thought that if they couldn't train this soldier well, even if it made His Majesty unhappy, I would replace them, but now I see that this worry is superfluous. ”
"The master is also a brother to them, and they have been together for such a long time, with the master here, they dare not slack off!"
Tan Jiang said, walked forward for a while, turned out of the camp, and went to the wooden house next to him to have a cup of tea according to the rules, and then rode back.
The roaring voice of the fire was a little smaller, and there were fewer irrelevant people around, Sun Dahai cleared his throat, and then spoke:
"Sanjiang Commercial Bank reported the things before going out, and was in a hurry to go out, and now reported to the adults, after the merchant Abagon redeemed the silver and made the contract, he first went to Sanjiang Alkali Bank to buy two boats of 4,000 quintals of alkali, and then bought half of the sugar stored in Tianjin Wei by Luhai Commercial Bank, and then left by boat."
Wang Tong shook his head and smiled, and said indifferently:
"The silver for buying the ship, but the backhand earned back, this Abagun is not in vain, the sea you send a message to the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, Tianjin Wei, all the merchants from the Franco, must be recorded, when the time comes, this Abagun really found the craftsman or something, and really gave him the right to franchise at that time."
If a businessman can have the right to have a monopoly in places like Tianjinwei, it is equivalent to having the right to mint money for himself, and there is no need to mention the gold and silver seas, and he will definitely make a lot of money.
However, everyone also knows that Wang Tong has always attached great importance to this craftsman's skill, and they are not surprised.
…………
"The sugar of the Luhai Merchant House is said to have been sold to a prince in the north of the Wei Kingdom, and the princes were willing to buy it with gold, and the price was double the market price, but when the ship passed, the prince of the Wei Kingdom fought with others, and had no choice but to go to the old place to sell."
"Double the market price, and the gold given, this back and forth ten times the profit!"
Hearing Zhang Shiqiang's report, Wang Tong couldn't help but exclaim, it is not difficult to get four times the profit from trafficking sugar from the south to the country of Wei, doubling it, and paying it with his life, there is a difference between the gold and silver price of the Ming Dynasty and the country of Wei, which comes and goes, and the tenfold Liran is still going low.
The sugar produced in Guangdong and Hainan is about seven times more profitable when it is shipped to Nanyang, but it is so high on the side of the Weiguo country, no wonder Shen Vain, the king of Sanshui, wants to transport it, but this kind of business is similar to speculation, and when the princes are at war with others, the business will not be done.
Therefore, there is no follow-up, but this Abagon is cheap, he collects sugar and alkali, and goes to the country to sell it, making normal profits, and can also do some other business.
This information was inquired about by Zhang Shiqiang, he and Bei Dahai said similar things, but the direction is completely different, these are also two channels for inquiring about news, each controlling one side and will not cross.
"Abagon is here this time, I'm afraid that the silver of the Flying Deer has already been earned by business, this matter will be put in the future, for the winter of the Haihe River and the seaside, the canal and the Haihe River are wasted, are you ready here?"
"Back to the adult's words, the subordinates have sent people to the triangle to recruit manpower, although the river is closed, many people have to go back to busy the year, but there are still people who are willing to stay here to earn money and eat, this year is better than last year, there are a lot of people from the provinces of Beizhili, and there is no shortage of manpower."
Zhang Shiqiang has already planned j, Tianjin Wei has an advantage compared to other places, that is, he is rich in money, and he is very comfortable to do things, Wang Tong nodded, it was already dark outside, and the servants outside had begun to hang lanterns on the corridor, Wang Tong looked at the darkness outside, and said in a deep voice:
"This year's Tianjin Wei is different from previous years, you have to arrange for someone to walk around Tianjin Wei this year to see if there are still those places that can be used."
Zhang Shiqiang responded, and when he saw Wang Tong's young man's contemplative face, he couldn't help but open. Said:
"My lord, you watch the army during the day, manage civil affairs, have a spare time to practice martial arts, Tianjin Wei has to worry about big and small things, adults are still young, don't get tired."
Wang Tong patted the table, shook his head and said:
"It's better to be busy, if you are really idle, it will be a disaster!!"
………………
In the place to the north of Tianjinwei, where the two regiments of the Huwei Battalion exercised, the two large phalanxes of 1,500 people advanced and retreated and turned left and right under the guidance of the sound of flags, trumpets and drums, and the smoke and dust billowed on the training ground, which was extremely spectacular.
Not far away, more than a dozen horsemen stopped, and a veteran was watching the Huwei battalion training there.
"Wang Tong really knows how to train soldiers, and he really trains good soldiers!!"
