The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 142 Firearms Troop
They really don't know each other, the patriarchs of more than a dozen big families have become Gao Youmou's friends, and finally everyone took a step back under Gao Youmou's persuasion.

Apart from owning more than [-] mu of land in Zhenzi Town, the Huang family never touches anything else, and Kaiping Town has become the center of the Huang family's industries.

Those small coal mines were wiped out by Huang Han, all the land was taken, and more than a thousand miners were all taken over. The miners didn't care whether they changed owners or not, as long as they could get paid, they would continue to work hard.

Huang Han ordered Huang Kezao to take Liu Zaiqi and [-] military attendants to appease the miners, and let everyone start working. The wage standard will be increased by [-]% according to the price of last autumn. As for the sale of coal, no one needs to consider it. in stock.

Most of the miners are strong and strong people, and they must not be idle, otherwise they will definitely make trouble when they are idle.

After communicating with the miners, Huang Kezao and Liu Zaiqi promoted some foremen and drove away more than a dozen groups of Qingpi who bullied men and women.

Henceforth, Liu Zaiqi formed a formation with thirty handymen and stabbed with white wax spears.

They assassinated a Qingpi who was said to have the notoriety of Kaiping Xiaobawang and three or five of his main thugs on the spot.

Who is Qingpi?Little rascals.They never dared to stab with long spears in normal fights. In most cases, they used iron rulers, wooden sticks, and plank bricks, and at most pretended to use machetes to make slashing.

Because if you really want to kill someone, the gunshot wound is the most effective, and the wound is not too ugly. A small round blood hole may cause the death of one person, but a bloody hole more than a foot long with a big knife looks scary, but in fact, life is safe. .

The hooligans who usually rampage in the mining area fight, rob the land, and bully the miners.

This is really not to blame for Liu Zaiqi and the military attendants, what they have learned is to use white wax spears to stab the enemy in formation, and they don't know other fighting moves at all.

Because the head of the family said that as long as the three or five handymen work together and don't turn around and run away, they choose to hold the spear tightly and stab Jianu Ba Yala, stabbing the enemy to death on the spot.

It is the easiest and most effective way to train handymen to form an army with white wax spears, and it is also the most cost-effective. When it comes to melee, these people can also play a role. Therefore, the most basic skill of the "Red Banner Army" handyman is to hold a long spear that is one foot long and two feet long. Play jabs.

This time, when they met dozens of Qingpis who were fighting in groups, they made a joke. The aggressive hooligans who came to find the place fought with the handyman. Most of them cried and threw away the iron ruler and wooden stick and ran away, lying on the ground for seven or eight years. A dozen of them knelt down.

Not only Qingpi was frightened and cried, but even the miners were trembling, "Mother! Why do these kind-looking people kill each of them without blinking an eye?"

Huang Kezao, Liu Zaiqi, and the military servants were used to seeing life and death these days, and their expressions did not change. They ordered the miners to drag Qingpi's body to bury them, and told everyone that with the support of the "Red Banner Army" from now on, who would dare to kill him? Come to the coal mine to collect protection fees and kill them directly.

Thirty military servicemen stayed behind to participate in the management and public security of the coal mine. They would be paid one or two taels of silver and five buckets of miscellaneous grains every month. Everyone was very happy, because their original salary was six taels of silver per month, but now the monthly salary has increased, of course. Happy.

In the future, the coal mine will send soldiers retired due to disabilities to serve as leaders at all levels, and the remuneration will increase accordingly.

Of course, the retired soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" shared weal and woe with the Huang family, and their loyalty was unquestionable. They were given decent jobs and paid enough to support their families.

In the future, the managers of the Huang family's property will use disabled soldiers as much as possible. This will not only properly accommodate these bloody soldiers, but also allow active soldiers to experience the strength of the collective, feel that they have something to depend on, and increase their loyalty , Enhance the cohesion of the "Red Banner Army".

The miners saw that the new owner took over the coal mine and drove away the hooligans. Everyone had a job, and the monthly salary would be [-]% more. In less than three days, the coal mine was in order.

No hooligans dare to mess with the army at any time. It is estimated that the Xiaobawang group who became famous in Kaiping will be killed directly, which will make the surrounding Xiaoxiao never dare to touch the Huang family's property again.

The establishment of the garrison camp in Huangyi Prefecture in Kaiping was actually the result of a compromise between Gao Youmou and the aristocratic family. The final result was that everyone did not suffer.

If the big families in these two towns did not choose to compromise, I don’t know how many people would be beheaded by the Houjin army, and how much property would be robbed. They surrendered to the Houjin army and saved their lives and property.

Originally in history, they were first burned, killed and robbed by Amin who was about to escape, and then blackmailed to death by the Guanning Army who captured Luanzhou.The damage caused by Gao Youmou's gentle knife is simply heaven and earth.

What the aristocratic family wanted was fertile land, and they left the rich and prosperous Zhenzi Town, a thousand-year-old town, and they felt lucky that they didn't lose the large tract of fertile land there.

And Huang Han also felt that he had made a lot of money. Everyone on the earth knew what Kaiping was, and it was actually a treasure land where gold and silver flowed.

Kailuan Coal Mine is the earliest modern coal mine in China. It occupies an important position in the history of modern Chinese industry and is a milestone in the coal mine textbook.

The No.30 President of the United States, Herbert Clark Hoover, once worked as a mining engineer in Kailuan Coal Mine.

One of the Huang family's father and son was stationed at Kailuan Coal Mine and the other was stationed near Qinhuangdao's deep-water ice-free port. It would be difficult for them to develop in the future.

Song Pengfei has been particularly busy these past few days. He is now the chief officer of the firearms department, and the two general banners he directly leads have obtained [-] high-quality bird guns, which have greatly increased their combat effectiveness.

The reserve chief banner officers of the two firearms general banners are Zhao Kun, Liu Sihai, and Wang Gensheng. They and Song Pengfei have been thinking about the new tactics of the bird guns to meet the enemy. Now each team of the bird guns has a wheelbarrow and two military servants. .

A three-foot-one-foot-two-foot white wax spear on the unicycle is indispensable. This kind of unicycle works well in front of the bird gunner. The shining gun head is exactly where the neck of the cavalry's horse is. If the cavalry dares to charge into such a battle formation, the horse will bear the brunt will be hit hard.

Fifteen wheelbarrows equipped with guns, plus [-] wheelbarrows used to transport supplies, used a total of [-] handymen. These people were also trained by Song Pengfei with the Ming army's bird guns. preferred.

Huang Han believed that the firearms army should be younger and more educated, so he selected 15 orphans between the ages of 100 and [-] who were rescued to join the army as apprentices with the same treatment as handymen.

Everyone cherishes this opportunity for these children. They practice literature and martial arts every day for fear of falling behind. They even look good on the [-] wheelbarrows allocated to them.
