Chapter 125 Luoyang City Affairs 1

Although Liu Xia was a little confused, she did not ask. It was impossible for Eunuch Guo to forget the will of the Holy Lord, unless there was something that could not be said, which made Liu Xia cold and asked, "What is the will? Say it."

Grandpa Guo obviously felt that there had been some changes in Liu Xia's attitude, but he still nodded and smiled and said, "Marquis, in fact, there is nothing to do, that is, the first assistant and the ministers want the marquis to return to the court and station in Nanjing. As for this Luoyang, I don't want this Luoyang. Moreover, he ordered the marquis to take the troops back immediately after receiving the imperial edict..." It took a long time for the gnawing Guo Gonggong to finish.

At this time, the whole hall became extremely cold because of Guo Gonggong's words. Those present were the soldiers who fought all the way with Liu Xia. Most of these soldiers were low-level non-commissioned officers of the Ming army in the past. They had been extremely disappointed with the court, and what the court had done had already made them disgusted and dissatisfied. .

If the court wants to let them return to Nanjing and garrison Nanjing City, how can they be willing? Even Liu Xia said: OK, I agree with this order. My father-in-law will wait for a while, and I will pack up my things and follow you.

It is estimated that most of the soldiers will be dissatisfied. Under Liu Xia's long-term prestige, they may not dare to resist, but there is definitely great dissatisfaction. This is definitely a time bomb, and it may suddenly explode.

Those soldiers looked at Eunuch Guo with cold eyes one after another. Eunuch Guo immediately decided to be like entering the ice cellar. At this time, Eunuch Guo very much regretted coming to this place to announce the decree, which could lose his little life if he was not careful!

"Marquis, marquis... This is just the will of those ministers, but their will, not..." Eunuch Guo tried to explain with his already trembling mouth.

Liu Xia immediately waved her hand and said, "Your father-in-law, you don't have to say it. When you go back, you will say that I am willing to stay at the border and expel the Tarsals to return the people of the Ming Dynasty. As for leaving the battlefield, I will never leave the battlefield."

"Yes, yes, we know, we know. If our family leaves first, the marquis doesn't have to see him off. Don't let go. Before Liu Xia could speak, Grandpa Guo ran away from the hall like a rabbit.

The murderous atmosphere in the hall just now, even if he walked out of the hall, Grandpa Guo could still feel it. As soon as he touched his back, he was already soaked.

In the hall, the generals had already talked about it.

Chen Liu said, "General, this order must have been written by those literary ministers in the Southern Ming court. The least backbone in the world is their people. They are simply moths of the imperial court. If one day the Qing army breaks through Nanjing City, it is estimated that the literary ministers inside will nod and bow down one by one to surrender."

The other generals also nodded and agreed.

"I won't go to Nanjing. You're right. Most of the people in Nanjing only think about their own glory and wealth, and only their own little fortune." Liu Xia couldn't help but think of the ministers who were the pillars of Nanming who surrendered after the destruction of Nanjing City in history, especially Liu Rushi's husband Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party.

Zhang Yuan frowned and said, "If the general doesn't go to Nanjing, the court will..."

Chen Liu said, "The general did not go to Nanjing because he did not want to see the great rivers of the Ming Dynasty fall into the palm of the Qing army. I believe that the people all over the world will understand. As for the people in Nanming, they are all smart people and will definitely not do anything too out of the ordinary. After all, they have no military power in their hands."

Liu Xia waved her hand and said, "Well, you don't have to talk about these things. One of the reasons why I asked you to come is to see off Mr. Guo, but since he is willing to leave by himself and not let us see him off, it also saves trouble. I still have a lot of things to arrange next.

"Zhang Liang, how are the soldiers of your new regiment now?" Liu Xia sat on the main seat of the hall and asked Zhang Liang, who was standing down at this time.

Zhang Liang was stunned, and then reacted and said respectfully, "General, five thousand soldiers in the new barracks, 3,000 of whom were captured, constantly carrying out ideological education according to the general's instructions, and found a wife for some of them, so that they could completely settle down in Luoyang. I believe there is no loyalty. There is a problem. As for the 2,000 recruits recruited, they are not enough for combat effectiveness now.

"En" Liu Xia nodded and said, "In this case, disperse the 3,000 soldiers and add them to each regiment. As for the specific matter, the commanders of each regiment went to the recruit regiment to talk to Zhang Liang. The soldiers' military uniforms are replenished by the logistics department.

After hearing Liu Xia's words, Wang En stood up and said, "General, although the Logistics Department still has a lot of military uniforms stored now, it can't satisfy the more than 3,000 new people, and there are still 2,000 Luoyang surrenders without military uniforms."

Liu Xia frowned and said, "What about the craftsmen I recruited?"

Zhang Liang of the new regiment came forward and replied, "General, those craftsmen are now arranged in the west city of Luoyang City by the last general."

The quitym of a factory began to appear in Liu Xia's mind. If you want a strong army, logistics must keep up, and Liu Xia is ready to replace all her soldiers with firearms in the future. Naturally, the military factory can't do without it.

Now Luoyang has almost occupied it. It has the defense of Hu Prison Pass and Hangu Pass. At that time, if you occupy Tong Pass, the whole Henan Mansion will be completely in his hands. In the future, there will be more and more soldiers, and you have to find a place to build an arsenal.

"I want to find a special place to build a factory, which will continue to deliver a large number of weapons, military uniforms and other things to the soldiers. Where do you want to choose from this place?

"If you choose a place, you can't be too far from Luoyang. At the same time, you should also have convenient transportation. Why don't you choose Longmen as well, General?" Chen Liu pondered.

Liu Xia said, "Okay, in this way, we will build a factory in Longmen. As for the specific requirements of the factory, I will ask someone to write a specific plan and give it to you. The factory will first be placed under the name of the logistics department. Among those workers, a person with extraordinary skills is selected to be the director of the military factory, and at the same time, he will serve as The deputy director of the logistics department.

"I am obeyed," Wang Engong said.

"Bear by the way, when I was in Guidefu, I seemed to have specially found a few people who could make firearms! Let them recruit some apprentices to build weapons. Liu Xia also thought that today's craftsmen build muskets by one person, which not only wastes a long time, but also wastes a lot of energy, and the output is also very low. So he added: "In addition, whether it is building weapons, firearms or sewing clothes in the factory, the assembly line is carried out."

Wang En asked, "General, what is this assembly line?"

Liu Xia smiled and said, "This assembly line is divided into several people, and one person only does part of it. For example, this sewing of clothes, let one person specially cut, one person specially sew, etc. That's what it means. As for the specifics, I will ask people to write specific steps later, and then you can take it.

Although Wang En still doesn't understand very well, since Liu Xia said to write it for him, she won't ask again.

A special arms department is set up. The arms department and other people who build ordinary weapons and sew clothes are not in the same system. The arms department is responsible for purchasing the materials used for gunpowder and configuring gunpowder. Build muskets and cannons. The Director of the Arms Department serves as the Deputy Director of the Logistics Department. I want the future soldiers to pick up the muskets to fight.

After Liu Xia finished speaking, Liu Dazhuang couldn't help saying, "General, this musket is very dangerous and easy to explode!" If the soldiers..."

The musket explosion in the Ming Dynasty was really powerful. The main reason is that those craftsmen cut corners and did not concentrate on forging. However, these craftsmen can't be blamed. After all, they don't give them a good environment, can't let them eat, and beat and scold them. If they don't treat them as human beings, they don't have the mood to go. Dedicated to building weapons? It's strange if you don't blow it up. So Liu Xia explained the matter to these soldiers.

He also said to Wang En, "Wang En, you will treat these craftsmen equally after you go down. Don't deduct money and food, and don't bully them. Otherwise, once you find it, you will definitely not be forgiven. At the same time, after you go down, you can recruit craftsmen throughout Luoyang to expand the scale.

When she was in the Kingdom of Home, Liu Xia had already said these words. She was not allowed to beat, scold and bully the craftsmen. Wang En had already kept them in mind.

"Have all the people who have moved from Guidefu been arranged now?" Liu Xia asked Chen Liu.

Chen Liugong said, "General, according to the previous plan, most of the people have arranged to give them a certain amount of land or a house in the city according to their contributions. Some of them were arranged in Gong County, Yanshi, Mengjin and Yiyang, and finally more than 10,000 people were arranged in the villages around Luoyang.

"Has all the land that the soldiers deserve has been arranged now?"

"General, according to the general's request, the division of the soldiers' land is proceeding nervously, and some seriously disabled soldiers have been assigned to the village as village head, and now the logistics department is in progress." Wang En, the chief of the logistics department, said.

Liu Xia nodded and said, "You can't let the meritorious soldiers suffer grievances. They were injured because of the battle of the Marquis. Now they have no ability to work, and I can't forget them."

"General is very kind! It's really a blessing for the soldiers!" Chen Liu said with a smile.

Chen Liu also said, "I reported to the general that I have recruited some literati, some of which were found from the people, and some of which admired the generals from other places. Now there are sixty or seventy people in the West City that have been arranged. Do you want to see the general?
