Chapter 139 Stepping up preparations for rebellion (Part )

Outside Fugu City, there is Sitong Village.

Lin Feng did not go to the county government today. He led the guards to Sitong Village on Gaoliang Mountain early in the morning.

Now that the army is about to start, there is nothing left to deal with in the county government. The main responsibility is left to Su Shunnian. If there are any major issues, he can just deal with them.

Besides, although not many people know about the Shaanxi patrol, there is no airtight wall in the world. Fugu is now prosperous in commerce and people come and go, sooner or later it will be leaked.

Therefore, Lin Feng felt that there was nothing to worry about the confidentiality issue. At this time, it was only right to hurry up and advance preparations for the rebellion.

Entering Sitong Village, Lin Feng first came to the guard team to check on their training. Fang Dashan naturally accompanied them.

The first escort team sent 300 people to the river meander twice to protect the mine. Now there are only team members on the mountain, and they are training group slashing skills.

Lin Feng looked at his opponent, Dashan, and said, "Dashan, your training is very solid!"

"Thank you for the compliment, sir!" Fang Dashan replied.

"Let's go to your dormitory and have a chat." Lin Feng said as he walked towards the guard team's dormitory.

After coming to the room and sitting down, Lin Feng said: "Da Shan, this time the Zhenming Army is reorganized and reorganized. Your men Wang Qin and Song Jilie have gone out to fend for themselves. They are even considered equal to Qian. Do you have any ideas?"

"No, sir, I was originally a villager. You brought me here and made me the captain of the escort team. Now I can be the commander of the first escort battalion. I am very satisfied.

Wang Qin and Song Jilie are very smart, and their commanding ability is indeed better than mine. I am very happy for them that they can also lead the team this time. No jealousy whatsoever. "Fang Dashan replied sincerely.

"Da Shan, you are one of the first people to follow me and one of the people I trust the most. I am very happy that you think so.

Leading troops in battle requires both talent and training. We must improve this together. But the most important thing is that as old brothers, you can hold 1% of Zhenming Group's shares. Those who join in the future will generally not exceed your shares unless they make special contributions.

Therefore, the more capable others are, the larger the territory we build, and the more valuable the equity in your hands is. In a sense, they all work for our shareholders, so there is no need to be jealous. "Lin Feng further encouraged and enlightened.

"Yes, the more capable everyone is, the more I can enjoy the success in the future." When Fang Dashan heard that this was indeed the truth, some of the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.

"Da Shan, we are short of talents right now. Is there anyone else you can use?" Lin Feng then asked.

"There is a young man named Peng Xing whom you chatted with when you had dinner last time. He was very enthusiastic after your interview. He is very serious in training and very smart. I think he can be used." Fang Dashan recommended.

"Okay, let him be your sentry for a while first. Also, 200 of you went to Hequ. It is estimated that it will be difficult to come back in the short term. You and Su Shunnian can ask for more soldiers." Lin Feng then ordered.

In order to prevent the generals from recruiting and expanding the army without authorization in the future, the situation will become overwhelming. Lin Feng has now handed over the conscription to the county government, and will authorize it in the future when the territory becomes larger and separate conscription is needed.

After coming out of the First Guard Battalion, Lin Feng went to the nearby Sitong Ordnance Factory. Zhao Zhixin and others were already waiting at the door. The ordnance factory is now divided into two yards, inside and outside. There are mainly three manufacturing workshops outside. The largest workshop is forging machetes and armors. The other two are workshops for making firecrackers and thunder. The craftsmen are in full swing. Carry out ordnance production.

There are four steam engines placed side by side in the courtyard inside. They are drilling blunderbuss pipes and hammering wrought iron respectively, emitting bursts of steam.

The farthest room is the R&D center we saw last time, which is still heavily guarded.

There is also an independent small yard built on the edge of the cliff where the ordnance factory produces gunpowder. This separation is also to ensure safety.

The gunpowder from Sitong Ordnance Factory has been granulated in accordance with Lin Feng's requirements. That is, the powdered gunpowder is humidified, mixed evenly, and processed into granules. The power of explosion and combustion has been greatly improved compared to before.

Lin Feng looked around the entire ordnance factory and felt that the current production was still in order, but it was already very crowded, with raw materials and finished products piled everywhere. It seemed that it had reached its maximum capacity.

After completing the on-site inspection, Lin Feng came to the public building of the ordnance factory and asked Zhao Zhixin to call several key backbones, including Kong Bin, Li Yingyuan, and Fang Zilin.

Lin Feng saw everyone sitting down and asked, "Zhixin, what are the output and inventory of the ordnance factory now?"

"Back to the Governor, in the field of fire gun manufacturing, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, we can produce 150 fire guns per month, of which 100 are electric type and 50 are electric type II with a faster firing speed. The fire gun in stock has been produced so far. Exactly 300 pieces.

In terms of cold weapons, we can produce 200 machetes and 50 sets of armor every month. The early production will be given priority to the first guard battalion, so there is no inventory. " Zhao Zhixin replied.

"Very good, this kind of production capacity is very rare now. After the production of fire guns, my guards will take fifty of the second type of lightning bolts, and the other fifty will be distributed to Wang Qin's cavalry battalion. There are also two hundred of the first type of lightning bolts. All are distributed to the Second Guard Battalion." Lin Feng explained that the war was imminent, and the existing advanced weapons must be distributed as soon as possible.

"Understood, we will organize the distribution immediately through the Logistics Department." Zhao Zhixin replied. The distribution of weapons is now organized by the Logistics Department.

"Zhixin, because of your talents, I originally wanted you to be the head of the Logistics Department, but considering that your main focus is on the research and development of advanced weapons and technology, being the head of the department involves too many administrative tasks, which can easily affect your energy, so I'll let you take the title of deputy director, and you will mainly be responsible for the affairs of the ordnance factory." Lin Feng then explained that the main technical talents must keep up with their ideological work.

"Thank you, sir. I like to study new technologies and hate management the most. Your arrangement like this is your greatest concern for me. In fact, I don't want any official position. Just let me concentrate on researching new equipment." Zhao Zhixin is a technical official. , of course, don’t care much about official position.

"Haha, I know Zhixin doesn't care about official positions, but if you organize the research and development of advanced weapons and technologies, you also need someone to help you, so it is necessary to have a name. At the ordnance factory, you can also recommend someone to be a deputy to help. You take on some management matters." Lin Feng continued.

"That would be the best. I would recommend Fang Zilin. He is usually more interested in management affairs. Kong Bin and Li Yingyuan also like to study technology." Zhao Zhixin said happily. He had long wanted to find a deputy to help him share the burden. Administrative work.

"Okay, let's follow your recommendation. Fang Zilin will be appointed as deputy director of the ordnance factory to assist Zhixin with management work. Kong Bin and Li Yingyuan can be the leaders of the technical team, and you can also enjoy the treatment of deputy director of the ordnance factory. .”

When Lin Feng heard that he recommended Fang Zilin, he also brought him from Fangjia Village, so he agreed without any problem with his loyalty. At the same time, we cannot treat the technical backbone lightly and simply give them treatment as well.

"Thank you, sir!" Fang Zilin and the other three people thanked in unison. Of course they were happy to have their treatment improved.
