The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Unfortunately, at this time, due to the limitation of various reasons, the technology of smelting iron with coal, especially to build weapons, was not mature enough. Li Yuanqing could only choose to reverse the history and choose a more mature and stable charcoal iron smelting technology.

Originally, a blacksmith can make 80 to 90 blunderbusses a month, but if it is made of charcoal, the number may be reduced by half.

If you want to increase the output, you can only increase the labor input, which is bound to increase the cost.

The midsummer offensive is just around the corner, and there is not much time left for Li Yuanqing.

However, from the blacksmith shop to find such talents as Cao Tiechui, Li Yuanqing's eyes brightened.

Just like the words of later generations, time is like a woman's career line, as long as you are willing to squeeze, there will always be.

The key is to take root, preserve and protect this young flame.

There are technical problems in the blacksmith's shop. Many things have to be redone and production cannot be resumed for the time being. Li Yuanqing also took this opportunity to move all his old camp to Changsheng island.

Changsheng island is the legal territory of Li Yuanqing. The central island and the West Island around it are also included in Li Yuanqing's legal jurisdiction.

This creates a lot of buffer space for Changsheng island and can do more.

At this time, in addition to the blacksmith's shop, Li Yuanqing's family members did not have a large population in the old camp. Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong and zhangpan in southern Liaoning Province had become the de facto overlords of the sea area. Guanglu island was not far away from Changsheng Island, and it took half a day to arrive.

Although the move was big, it was only a process of the fleet going back and forth, and it didn't take much effort.

On the seventh day of April, the pirate fleet of guancanghai arrived at the old camp of Guanglu island. The old camp had already been ready and set off immediately. In the evening of that day, the old camp people and horses landed on Changsheng Island successfully.

At this point, all the foundation of Li Yuanqing moved to Changsheng island.

The official hall on this side of Changsheng island has been built for a long time. After being exposed to the sun, it doesn't need to be cleaned up too much and can be moved in directly.

At that time, although Li Yuanqing was only defending the title, the craftsmen of the planning also played a trick. Although the official hall was only the scale of a thousand households' house, there was already a space reserved around it, so long as it wanted to be covered, it could be done at any time.

However, Li Yuanqing now has only three female dependents and no children. The 1000 family house covers an area of more than 10 mu, which is enough to live in. Naturally, he will not waste money on this.

It's OK for women to arrange their homes, but the allocation of population and housing has exhausted Li Yuanqing's brain cells.

Shang Laoliu went to Dagukou to collect grain from the Qu family, but he has not come back. Li Yuanqing can only do these things by himself.

By this time, the total number of Ding people under Li Yuanqing's command had reached nearly 12000, of which nearly 3000 were young and strong, nearly 7000 were Zhuang women, and the remaining 2000 were old, weak and children.

However, the size of the houses in this town is only more than 2000, which naturally can not meet the needs of all people.

After racking his brains, Li Yuanqing made a decision on the case. All the soldiers and meritorious sailors under his command arranged houses from high to low according to their qualifications.

In this way, the veterans, soldiers and sailors under Li Yuanqing's command can basically be assigned residences.

for officers like Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi, shunzi and Duan Xiliang, they can choose houses, or they can choose homesteads near Qianhu houses and build them by themselves.

The land of nanxinkou is very wide. In the design, Li Yuanqing asked the craftsmen to do it in a big way, with plenty of space.

Not surprisingly, Guan Canghai did not choose a house. Instead, they bought a homestead with their own money. They wanted to build a large-scale building near a thousand family houses.

This was also expected by Li Yuanqing. After all, none of them had a family, and they were all barefoot commanders. They usually lived in military camps and were not eager to live near their own houses at this time.

In fact, most of the soldiers were like this, but their houses and land provided the greatest guarantee for Li Yuanqing.

Of course, Zhang Yunzi and his father, Ma yuaner, have to help with the process.

To Li Yuanqing's surprise, Ma Deqiang, the housekeeper of the horse, was able to handle the housekeeper's chores, and was also proficient in accounting. He was good at dealing with complex interpersonal relationships.

Li Yuanqing immediately appointed him the head of the real estate sales department, who was responsible for coordinating a series of issues concerning the allocation of housing.

In this way, Li Yuanqing instantly relaxed a lot and got rid of these chores, but there are more important things to waste a lot of Li Yuanqing's brain cells.

Li Yuanqing was promoted as a guerrilla when he was granted a reward in Beijing. These generals under his command should also pay tribute.

The most important human rights are also the most basic guarantee for Li Yuanqing to control the army.

According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuanqing is now a guerrilla rank, with 3000 people under his command, so he can be promoted to three thousand households and garrison.

As for vice thousand households, there is no fixed quota. But if there are too many, they are too blatant.After careful consideration, Li Yuanqing finally decided to promote shanglaoliu, guancanghai and xuheizi as zhengqianhu, Duan Xiliang, Wanghai, shunzi as deputy Qianhu, Yang Xiaobo, Huang Guoshan and other officers as 100 households. They were reported to Dongjiang headquarters and submitted to the imperial court after Mao Wenlong's approval.

There is also Liu Dadou, who has recently joined the ranks of thousands of households. According to the truth, Li Yuanqing should also raise him to the rank of one. However, at this time, Li Yuanqing is only a guerrilla, and it is not necessary to mention his defense. However, he has not made any achievements, so it is difficult to convince the public.

After Li Yuanqing discussed with Liu Dadou, Liu Dadou did not agree to be promoted immediately. He was willing to keep the status quo and raise the matter after he had made contributions.

Li Yuanqing expressed satisfaction with Liu Dadou's attitude, but also clear a small obstacle.

After the completion of the upper structure of the army, the next step is the improvement and reorganization of the army.

Before that, although there were only a thousand soldiers in Li Yuanqing's army, they were in fact divided into several groups, just like the miscellaneous army. Except for Li Yuanqing's old camp, the combat effectiveness of the others was very limited.

At this time, the number of young people under Li Yuanqing's command has reached 3000, so there is more choice.

The first is to start with the upper architecture.

Although Shang Laoliu was promoted to the number one thousand household official under Li Yuanqing's command, in fact, he was like Li Yuanqing's housekeeper. He was responsible for more logistics affairs and was not really a leader.

In this way, the specific military affairs of his headquarters are all in the charge of deputy Qianhu.

However, although there are 3000 people, it is not suitable to include all of them in the war. War, after all, not only soldiers can fight.

After careful discussion with several major officers, Li Yuanqing formally reorganized the army.

From then on, Li Yuanqing's headquarters was called "Changsheng camp", which had three thousand troops under its command.

The 1000 corps, the sixth of qianzongshang and Duan Xiliang, the deputy chief commander, have 700 leading soldiers, 600 auxiliary soldiers, 20 large and small warships, and 5 major ships. They are stationed in South Xinkou of Changsheng Island, which can be regarded as man organization and the first main force under Li Yuanqing.

The second thousand regiment, chief commander Canghai and deputy chief Wanghai, are stationed at the South Wharf of Changsheng island. They command 600 soldiers, more than 1000 auxiliary soldiers, pirates and sailors, and more than 300 warships. They are the main Navy and transportation team under Li Yuanqing's command. They are responsible for Changsheng Island, Zhongdao island and Xidao Island, including Lvshunkou, Guanglu Island, Chenghuang Island, Haiyang Island, Changshan Island, Heidao island and Denglai island Communication, intelligence and defense in this wide area.

As a matter of fact, the Pirate Group under Guan Canghai has been incorporated into the establishment of Changsheng camp. However, based on the principle of secrecy and confidentiality, the number of combat troops and the number of auxiliary soldiers are only published by the 2000 Corps.

The third regiment is composed of Xu Heizi, 1000 general manager, Zhang Sanshun, Baihu yangxiaobo, 300 soldiers of the headquarters, and temporary auxiliary soldiers.

Among them, shunzi led a team of 100 bird spear soldiers, Yang Xiaobo ordered a team of 100 bird spear soldiers, including a team of engineers with more than 100 people directly under Xu Heizi. All in all, the manpower of the 3000 Corps was close to 1000.

Although there are not many large ships, there are 7 or 80 small boats, which can be regarded as a mixed group.

Huang Guoshan was promoted to the leader of Li Yuanqing's personal guard camp with the position of 100 households. He actually led 200 soldiers and was directly under Li Yuanqing's command.

Liu Dadou, with 100 people from his headquarters, was promoted to the head of the cavalry thousand Corps.

Unfortunately, the total number of horses in Changsheng island is less than 30. This is obviously a false duty and cannot be reported.

However, Li Yuanqing was well prepared. Liu Dadou's headquarters was tentatively designated as the scouting team, with the general treatment of 1000. At the same time, he was responsible for training cavalry and enjoyed the same financial allocation treatment as Li Yuanqing's three headquarters.

After the personnel transfer was completed, Li Yuanqing held a grand military ceremony in the school yard of Changsheng Island town, personally granting the military flag to the leaders of the four teams.

However, both Shang Laoliu and Xu Heizi were no longer Changsheng Island, and were led by Duan Xiliang and shunzi, respectively.

On that night, a grand ceremony was held in Changsheng island. All the soldiers and people participated in the ceremony.

However, although the Changsheng camp was set up and the officers of all departments were responsible for the training, it was still difficult for Li Yuanqing to relax and do a lot of work by himself.

The first is the work of the blacksmith's shop.

The ancients said, "if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools."

If personnel is the top priority and finance is the second, weapons are the third.

The facilities of the blacksmith's shop have been covered, but the specific production still needs a period of debugging and improvement.

Li Yuanqing basically participated in the research and development of all kinds of weapons and equipment, including birds, spears, armor, knives and guns.

Fortunately, Xu Liang and Mr. Yang are both very experienced and have a lot of labor. Li Yuanqing only needs to put forward his requirements and give them the implementation.

But there is also one of the most critical things, but let Li Yuanqing have been racking his brains, that is intelligence.

In fact, Li Yuanqing hesitated for a long time on the arrangement of Yang Xiaobo.Although young, Yang Xiaobo is clever and loyal to Li Yuanqing. In fact, he is the best candidate for intelligence.

However, he lacks the experience in this field, and Li Yuanqing has not much experience. Liu Dadou has just arrived, so it is not easy to arrange Yang Xiaobo to his side. He can only maintain it temporarily and look for opportunities slowly.
