Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 420 Entrusting Bian Town to Train Troops
In that life, Wang Tong also dealt with a few foreigners. Although those foreigners were also focused on money, they always sang high-profile things like environmental protection.

But the craftsmen and sailors he is dealing with now are all interested in money. Money touches people's hearts. If Wang Tong wants to keep them to work for him, he will naturally pay a high price, but from blacksmiths to sailors, With a single mouth, he asked for prices all over the sky, thinking that Wang Tong didn't understand the market.

For example, those craftsmen who made carriages and harnesses asked for a monthly salary of 500 taels of silver. After hearing this, Wang Tong laughed outright.

Fortunately, he was prepared. Although he is not familiar with it, Balmond, who has lived in Macau for so long, is familiar with it. The salary of each profession has a relatively accurate estimate.

Therefore, the conditions were not ambiguous. For those who earn wages and wages, Tianjin Wei will take care of food and housing, give Macau three times the salary, and those who make things and sell them for money, Tianjin Wei will buy them at twice the price of Macau. Of course, the real Skilled and capable treatment is discussed separately.

Tianjin Wei's own official and private workshops also sent a large number of craftsmen and apprentices to follow them. Wang Tong also said that whoever can learn the craftsmanship of Fanren will be paid [-]% more than Fanren.

The remuneration of Fanren is so generous, adding [-]% is really a big sum. In this way, everyone is tempted, and they are all gearing up to learn something.

Although Juan and his sailors promised to pass on the knowledge of manipulating warships and sailing, Wang Tong couldn't find anyone to learn from them.

After all, when a ship sails on the sea, the people on board must be able to withstand the wind and waves. Such people are nothing more than fishermen and sailors of merchant ships, but there are more than one hundred people like Wang Tong under his command, and they each have their own errands.

Fortunately, the sea is closed in winter, and everyone will give lectures on land first, and then discuss the long-term plan when the sea is opened next year.

However, the dozens of guns on the ship were operated by sailors who knew artillery knowledge. Wang Tong arranged for them to go to Tan Huo and Mu En's side to communicate with each other and see what they could learn.

According to later generations, the large-scale learning and large-scale production movement in Tianjin Wei has begun vigorously. Everyone is full of energy and working hard. People in Ming Dynasty work hard to learn and produce, and people work hard to make money.

But there were also ten Portuguese who did not participate in it. These were the ten Portuguese soldiers and officers captured in Macau by Admiral Chen Lin of the Guangdong Navy.

When it was handed over to Wang Tong, the boss Qian also specifically explained that the ten Portuguese were relatively outstanding among those foreign troops in Macau, and he didn't know if they would be useful to Wang Tong's side.

Usefulness is naturally useful, but these ten people are very depressed, and Mr. Qian said that on the way from Macau to Tianjinwei, these ten soldiers twice thought about rioting and robbing the ship, but they were all betrayed by their fellow prisoners. , Later, Mr. Qian took the interpreter over and scolded, "You were sent out by your boss, do you think you are a prisoner?" After scolding this sentence, these people calmed down.

However, other people were scrambling to get some good treatment, but they stayed in the isolation area peacefully, eating and sleeping in silence, and came out to exercise regularly.

They were silent, but Wang Tong was not in a hurry. If he really had any loyal thoughts, he jumped into the sea on the boat and died not long after, it would not be difficult to commit suicide on a hunger strike here. Method.

************
On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court’s decree came to Tianjin Wei, and Wang Tong, the battalion officer stationed in Tianjin Wei Huwei Camp, received the decree...

The eunuch who delivered the decree was as polite as ever, and left with a smile on his face after receiving the money and red envelopes from Wang Tong, but Wang Tong didn't smile much after receiving the decree. The leader of the system came to the mansion to discuss important matters.

"Yu Ma Jian uses battles instead of training. Now each battalion is in rotation. Our Huwei battalion is also going to march for combat drills. We will set off on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month to go to Zhangjiakou Fort in Xuanzhen Town."

Wang Tong said this purpose indifferently, the people below fell silent, and immediately exploded, Ma Sanbiao stood up and said loudly:

"At that time, I felt that there was no such cheap thing. On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, let us go to Xuanzhen to make troubles during the Chinese New Year. This must be a conspiracy by Chu Zhaoren. My lord, this cannot be agreed..."

Yang Sichen at the side muttered and said:

"Xuanzhen was extremely cold in the first month of the twelfth lunar month, and there were Tartar invaders on the side. If you don't know the place and the weather is cold, the damage will not be small. The imperial court originally asked us to station the Huwei camp in Tianjin. But Zhaoren came up with this trick, he really has ulterior motives!!"

Everyone in the room was angry and dissatisfied. If it wasn't for Cai Nan who was also in the room, some of these military men would have already sweared such swear words as "no eggs".

With the establishment of Huwei Camp, Cai Nan is naturally the supervisor of the army. He is not as excited as those people, but he also said worriedly:

"Belonging to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the admiral eunuch's assignment must always be obeyed, not to mention that the palace has issued an order, which is all sitting in the open. My lord, if you want to stay still, I'm afraid you can only secretly read it to the Long Live Lord."

Hearing this, the people below were commotion again, everyone looked at Wang Tong expectantly, everyone knew that their master was a close minister of the emperor.

This matter of tomorrow and the next is not arranged by Emperor Wanli with a word. After Wang Tong finished speaking, he kept looking at the expressions of the people below. Everyone was angry or clamoring, but the generals of the Tan family and the young people from the martial arts school They didn't show any expression, they were very quiet.

Wang Tong pressed down with his hand, and said:
"Even if it's not the Tiger's Mighty Camp under the Yumajian, isn't our Tiger's Mighty Army not an army?"

This rhetorical question made everyone a little confused. Wang Tong stood up from his chair and asked solemnly:

"That day when I bid farewell to Your Majesty in the martial arts hall, I said that I would train His Majesty a caring army named Tiger Mighty Army. You all know this!"

What Wang Tong said is an allusion well-known to the Tigers. It is also a means to enhance the pride and cohesion of the troops. Wang Tong has preached it many times. Seeing the bewildered looks of the crowd, Wang Tong's voice became a little harsh:
"It's His Majesty's soldiers and horses, and it's Daming's army. Why is the Tiger's Mighty Army so special that they have to spend the whole day in this Tianjin Guard and practice behind closed doors?"

After saying that, many people lowered their heads, but Tan Jiang nodded slightly, and Wang Tong's voice became more and more severe:
"Xuanfu has nearly [-] soldiers and horses, and there are garrisons at every gate. It's freezing cold. Why do they bear it, but we have to suffer some damage? Why are we so spoiled and pampered? Wouldn't it be better to go back and be young masters?" !!"

"My lord, it's not that I'm afraid of war, I just feel that Chu Zhaoren is trying to trick us..."

Wang Tong sternly reprimanded him, and only Ma Sanbiao could explain a few grievances. Others really couldn't make a sound. Wang Tong shook his head, raised his voice, and said loudly:

"You don't care about the original intention of the Yuma Supervisor. I want to tell you that good iron cannot be made into steel. Our Huwei camp is full of good men. Everyone is diligent in training. But if you don't see blood, if you don't kill the enemy, then It cannot be said to be a real army. Everyone in the room, as well as the backbone generals of the battalions, all followed the officer to see blood and kill people. You have this experience, so you can get to where you are today. , how can it be used effectively as an army."

When he took office in Tianjin Guard, he was robbed and killed on the official road. Wang Tong led his servants to fight back. The pirates had no strong resistance from beginning to end, and the cavalry and artillery made great contributions.

There is an important criterion for the promotion of generals and soldiers in the Huwei camp, that is, they have participated in actual combat and killed people. Most of the soldiers participated in actual combat only when they fought against pirates. According to Tan Jiang and others, the actual combat was really not good. The pirates were not good at land combat, and they were caught off guard at the time, and they were frightened, so they had no fighting spirit.

When Wang Tong finished speaking, all the people below stood upright and raised their chests in awe. Wang Tong took a glance, nodded and said:
"The Imperial Horse Supervisor gave us such an opportunity to train our troops in actual combat. This is of great benefit to our Huwei camp. Everyone, go back and train your soldiers as soon as possible, and prepare to go to Xuanzhen!!"

Everyone answered in unison, Wang Tong waved his hand, everyone went back to the camp, and the core leaders stayed behind.

"Cai Jianjun, please write a receipt immediately, explaining that our army is already making intensive preparations. We will set off on time, write it up as soon as possible, and send it to the capital as soon as possible. Isn't our own inn built? Just use this Send the message!! Be fast, don't be caught by the program!!"

Now that the matter is confirmed, what Wang Tong said, Cai Nan naturally understood very well, and quickly nodded in response, and directly took out the pen and paper from the desk in the hall and began to grind the ink to prepare.

"Mr. Yang, prepare a memorandum, and write down what the official said in writing. It must describe the minds and ambitions of the emperor in the Weihuwei camp in Tianjin, who are not afraid of the severe cold and hard work, for the emperor to practice for Daming. Delay, write it in the afternoon, and I will send it out after I have seen it!!"

Yang Sichen was taken aback, and Wang Tong explained with a smile:

"Naturally, we must do the errands that should be done meticulously, but we must let you know that we are meticulous in our errands, and know the hard work of our errands, so that we can show our loyalty."

Yang Sichen thought about it for a while before he understood this, he sighed a few words, and hurriedly went to do it. Wang Tong turned his head and said to Sun Dahai, Zhang Shiqiang and the generals of the Tan family:
"The military supplies of the armored soldiers of the Tiger's Mighty Army and the purchases that need to be purchased, please hurry up and deal with it!!"
