The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 152
Jiang Tao originally wanted to expand the army, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea, but he did not dare to cut the army, because the war may come at any time, he asked Wang Junyi to mobilize 200 elite soldiers to support him, and at the same time trained the sharpshooter guards. 500 people have Mieqing guns, and [-] people have Mielu guns. He can't wait. He wants to recover Anhui as soon as possible, and then recover the entire Zhejiang. By then, the Black Tiger Army will have the power of three provinces, and they will be very rich. In the three provinces, the chances of winning will be even greater.

But it's not enough now, the Black Tiger Army is now distributing fields, which is tantamount to pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth, and if it doesn't work out, it will be a big change.

He has the butcher knife ready!

Therefore, he endured it, and as long as the rear is stable, he can fully attack the Manchu army outside Shucheng.

Now that the site is large, craftsmen have been recruited. Now Lu'an Ordnance Institute has gathered [-] skilled craftsmen. [-] drilling machines are too few, so we have to continue to increase. It is expected to increase to [-] sets, and the planned monthly output is [-]. Five hundred guns for destroying captives.

Jiang Tao intends to build Anhui into the heavy industry base of the Black Tiger Army. It is densely populated, rich in coal, iron and copper resources, and has convenient water transportation.Of course, the first thing is to build a huge military industrial base. In order to improve the work efficiency of craftsmen, he divided the Lu'an Ordnance Institute into:

In the machine tool workshop, there are more than a thousand craftsmen and five hundred handymen, specializing in the production of various machine tools.

In the gun workshop, there are three thousand craftsmen and more than a thousand handymen. All guns are manufactured according to the assembly line. They are subdivided into barrel group, butt group, bayonet group, bullet group, polishing group, gun group, assembly group, etc. The polishing group has the largest number of people. The rest of the groups vary in size.

The gunpowder workshop, with 2000 craftsmen and [-] handymen, is fully committed to producing granular gunpowder.

There are more than a thousand craftsmen and [-] handymen in the Huo Lei Bang workshop, and landmines and water mines are all under development. When they are successfully developed, they will be directly produced in the Huo Lei Bang workshop, and then expanded according to the actual situation.

In the artillery workshop, there are more than a thousand craftsmen and more than a thousand handymen. Since the artillery technology is not mature, we can only temporarily build the multi-layer composite armor designed by Jiang Tao, and name it the combat vest.

In the armor workshop, there are one thousand craftsmen and one thousand handymen. Most of them produce combat vests, and a small part produce mountain pattern armor.

The weapons workshop, with [-] craftsmen, produces some cold weapons.

Dai Cang is the general manager of the entire ordnance, and Wang Tiehammer is the deputy manager. As for the Shenjiang Battalion in the base, it has also implemented an assembly line production model, specializing in the production of firearms, and the rest remains unchanged. As long as there are enough craftsmen, Jiang Tao will expand the production of firearms Production.

In addition, a new scientific research center has been established, with a network of more than a hundred skilled craftsmen, of which Dai Zi is the manager, specializing in tackling scientific and technological problems, developing new weapons, and upgrading firearms.

Jiang Tao is in a good mood after finishing all this work. As long as the land distribution is completed, the 600 million people will be firmly tied to the chariots of the Black Tiger Army, and then the Black Tiger Army will truly stand firm.

I didn't want Shucheng, but there was an urgent report. The Qing army added another 13 troops, with a total strength of [-]. They were attacking the city regardless of casualties, and the Qing army used more than a hundred artillery pieces. The situation is at stake!
Jiang Tao was annoyed, and went straight to Shucheng with [-] sharpshooter guards and more than [-] recruits. The Qing army really wanted to die. Didn't they care about the traitor Wu Sangui?
What is Wu Sangui doing again?Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight?
Did something go wrong?
………….
The Black Tiger Army is undergoing rapid changes every day, but the Qing Army has received bad news one after another. Kangxi only feels physically and mentally exhausted. The Black Tiger Army that he has always valued is really extraordinary. It is unbelievable that hundreds of thousands of elites from the Eight Banners starved to death. How could the bandit army be so powerful?
Fortunately, Mingzhu, the dog slave, was extremely witty, captured and killed one of the leaders of the Black Tiger Army in time, regained the whole of Hubei, and dredged the food road, otherwise the situation would be in danger.

When Kangxi thought of the rebellion of the Black Tiger Army, he couldn't help wanting to kill people. Recently, it was reported that the Black Tiger Army's guns were exquisite and unstoppable. In the hands of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, can a small bandit create a powerful cannon in red?
While severely reprimanding Yue Le, he ordered him to strictly guard the front line of the Yangtze River. At the same time, he slowed down his attack on Wu Sangui and dealt with the Black Tiger Army first.

I don’t think that Shandong has played a play recently: the daring Black Tiger Army has repeatedly fled from Jiangsu to Shandong, burning, killing and looting, committing all kinds of crimes. Kangxi’s heart trembled violently. It was the first time he found that the Black Tiger Army was so close to Beijing, and he even had an idea The idea of ​​retreating to Shengjing.

A province is separated, and the total strength of the Qing army in Shandong is no more than 500. Oh, no, Kangxi looked at the map and found that the territory actually controlled by the Qing Dynasty is only the three northeastern provinces and Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei and other places. Once the two rivers are lost, the imperial court will lose at least [-] million taels of taxes every year, and what the imperial court lacks now is silver.

Even Mo Luo, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, was killed, and he was not so shocked.

Kangxi knew that if he didn't get rid of the Black Tiger Army as soon as possible, the Manchu Empire would collapse sooner or later, and his own throne would not be guaranteed.

No, this is absolutely not allowed.

Kangxi became more and more gloomy, and hurriedly summoned Tu Hai outside the city, and asked eagerly: "Tell me quickly, can the army outside the city fight against the black tiger thief army?"

Tu Hai knelt on the ground and couldn't keep calm. If the Holy Majesty had listened to his persuasion and withdrawn after he was fully prepared, would there have been such a big shock?

"Please forgive me, my lord. The slave is incompetent. It will take at least half a year. Otherwise, he will just die!" Tu Hai didn't dare to think too much, and said truthfully.

Kangxi's eyes became darker and colder, and it took a while before he let out a long sigh: "Tu Hai, tell me what to do now?"

"My lord, the two major troubles in the Manchu Qing Dynasty today are the Black Tiger Army and Wang Fuchen. Wu Sangui doesn't think about making progress, but just sticks to the front line of the river, and is safe for the time being. It is their biggest weakness. Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong, etc. are not the ones who can achieve great things. There is no burial place, and the [-]-strong army under Prince An's command is also under the enemy's belly, so I implore the Holy One to mobilize the Mongolian cavalry to attack Jiangsu, and half a year later, the [-] recruits outside the city will be able to fight."

After Tuhai finished speaking in one breath, Kangxi clapped his hands and laughed, "Well said, it really is my Manchu Batulu."

But Kangxi's laughter stopped abruptly, because he thought that the princes in Mongolia were dishonest recently, flirting with Ge Erdan, recruiting up to [-] cavalry, too many would not be conducive to the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and he was cold-faced Said: "Is there any other way?"

Tu Hai is also a smart person, so he suddenly understood, thought for a while, and said with hesitation: "Well, the slaves of the Ding family of the princes' residences were originally the elite of the Eight Banners, and even the junior banner slaves were all extremely brave. Good job, I'm afraid I'm used to domineering according to the situation..."

"Hahaha, good, good, Li Dequan, the emperor's sword is waiting! Tu Hai is the general who conquers the south, holding the emperor's sword, and tonight he will send an order to all the palaces to enlist the banner slaves according to the roster. Those who dare to resist the order will be dealt with by military law. The army will rush to Shandong immediately in three days, and another [-] Mongolian cavalry will arrive in a month or so, and the two rivers will be handed over to you."

"In addition, we will train another 300 troops in Shandong, so that we will be prepared for any danger. The [-] soldiers and horses outside the city will be taken care of by Suo'etu." On the surface, Kangxi became confident again, but he was still worried in his heart. The next three million taels seems a lot, but it won't last long. May the late emperor bless the turbulent Qing Empire!

PS: The update will start to stabilize tomorrow.
