I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 229 The correct way to open
The base area did not completely copy the organizational structure of the Ming army, and carried out a series of reforms.

Each general banner has a deputy general banner as the town governor, and all the town governors are educated by Huang Yi himself, and they are all able to write more than [-] characters silently and count.

The town governor is still studying, and in another one or two years, he will definitely be able to master two thousand commonly used characters, learn the mathematics of later elementary schools, and master the initial knowledge of physics and geography.

Artillery will be extremely important for a long time to come.

Therefore, Huang Yi paid more attention to the political and ideological work of the artillerymen. There were no special circumstances, and the artillerymen were all selected from the Han Chinese.

At present, 160 basically qualified artillerymen have been trained, and five of them are town governors.

After criticism and self-criticism, analyzing one's own memory of bitterness and sweetness, etc., effective brainwashing, oh no!It is the correct opening way to correct thinking and unify thinking.

160 young artillerymen are full of energy and fighting spirit!

It stands to reason that they are equipped with hundreds of auxiliary soldiers, and the 160 artillery can control eighty three-jin regiment artillery.

However, nearly ten artillery pieces have been scrapped because of the previous and subsequent strikes, and now there are only eight three-jin regiment artillery in total in the base area.

In a few days, Liu Han will be able to deliver the newly produced six three-jin regiment cannons, and if he wants to increase them, he will have to wait another month.

This meant that the planned spring offensive could only carry fourteen three-pound regiment guns.

The supply of gunpowder was not a problem. The base area had been producing gunpowder. Some of the raw materials were purchased by the Li family company and some were produced by themselves.

The base area that advocates fertilization and improvement of fields has a special person responsible for collecting nitrate soil and purification of Glauber's salt.

This thing was common in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and Glauber's salt was just an ordinary medicinal material in Chinese medicine shops.

There are many people who know how to find nitrate and thenardite, and create conditions to generate more nitrate.

Huang Yi's mobile phone also has methods to collect and make nitrate and Glauber's salt.

But he found that there was no need to do so much. The workers in the base area responsible for collecting thenardite knew all these methods.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people in the base area, and it is impossible for Huang Yi to manage it in a rough way like the Ming court.

The effective Baojia system has been adopted long ago. Thirty households set up a Jia, and three small militia flag officers who actively participated in the training were selected as the chief of the Jia, and they took turns on a yearly basis.

The three Jias are one security, and there are ninety households, and there are also three security chiefs on duty. The security chief must be the chief banner officer or deputy chief banner officer or town governor in the auxiliary army or militia.

According to the underground decree, it is only necessary to notify the on-duty security chief to hold a meeting, and it can be communicated to every household that night.

The current base of Huang Yi's rule can boast that the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, and all industries are waiting for prosperity!

It's a big deal to collect nitrate, let alone spend money to buy it, even apportionment can be completed.

In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, people in the base area were not allowed to drink raw water, and cleaned up the excrement of livestock in time. All quarries, factories, and military camps were not allowed to defecate anywhere.

Not only were many toilets built, but there were also excrement buckets for collecting urine.

Pour urine on horse manure, pig manure, and cow manure to collect nitrate very quickly.

The battles during this period basically used cold weapons, and the granular gunpowder produced in the base area was only used in the training of musketeers and gunners.

Oh!By the way, part of the gunpowder is also used to blast rocks.

In general, the current output of gunpowder in the base area is much higher than the consumption, and there are already several thousand catties of gunpowder in stock.

Fireworks are strictly prohibited in the gunpowder depot built of concrete. For the convenience of handling, only [-] catties of gunpowder are stored in each wooden gunpowder barrel.

Skulls are painted on the powder keg, and it says "Handle with care and safety first."

There is never too much gunpowder, and collecting nitrate is the duty of the people in every base area.

The government of the base area will not keep the common people busy, handing in the collected nitrate soil and thenardite to be weighed according to the nitrate content to get money.

Some people have rich experience and take a broom and dustpan to sweep the hoarfrost spit out from the rocks at the foot of the mountain in the shade. This thing is natural Glauber's salt, which contains much more nitrate than the soil in the toilet.

Not only the shady place at the foot of the mountain, but also the shady mountain behind the house will spit hoarfrost.

The masses who have accumulated experience use their spare time to collect nitrate, and if they make better ones, they can earn five or six renminbi more a month to supplement their families.

Huang Yi is so self-willed, and he is not stingy with rewarding the people in the base area.

He believes that only by increasing the disposable income of the people in the base areas can a small economy achieve a virtuous internal cycle.

Therefore, the most important raw materials for making gunpowder are nitrate and thenardite. With the participation of the whole people, the output is increasing every month.

It is not wishful thinking to strive for the self-produced gunpowder in the base area to meet the consumption of large-scale artillery battles.

Huang Yi has always been down-to-earth, without any unconstrained ideas, and adopts the standards and units of measurement of later generations.

A day in the Ming Dynasty was divided into twelve hours. Huang Yi did not change this habit, but divided one hour into two hours, and one hour into six 10 minutes.

There is no clock in the base area, but there is one early in the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Yi has entrusted Li Weida to help buy a few western clocks of the latest style.

The purpose is self-evident!imitation.

Now, skilled gunners in the base area can fire twice in one minute.

Plans never keep up with changes!
Originally, Geng Zhanghua had already made an appointment with Huang Yi to send troops together in the spring to completely subdue the Karaqin tribe.

However, Lin Danhan, who was entrenched in Guihua City, suddenly sent troops to threaten Datong Town. He was extremely dissatisfied with the rewards given to the city according to the old rules, and the lion opened his mouth to demand double!
This is not over yet, he also asked to occupy the market reward of Shunyi Wang Bushitu.

Bu Shitu is the great chief of the Mongolian right-wing Tumed tribe, and the king of Shunyi who was canonized in the 41st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the current King of Shunyi was defeated by Lin Danhan and fled for thousands of miles, the Ming court could not admit that Lin Danhan, who had actually occupied Guihua City, annexed the Tumote tribe.

In the original history, the governor of Datong and the governor of Xuanda were afraid that Lin Danhan, who led [-] to [-] soldiers, would turn his back on them, so they chose to compromise and were blackmailed a lot of money and food.

Later, he was sued by the eunuch who supervised the army and civil servants and military generals. Both the governor and the governor were dismissed from office and were arrested and taken to the imperial prison in the capital.

During the days when Huang Yi and Geng Zhanghua ate and lived together, they talked about everything.

Huang Yi knew why Wei Yunzhong, governor of Xuanda, Zhang Zongheng, governor of Shanxi, and Shen Jie, governor of Xuanfu, were convicted in history.

So I told Geng Zhanghua to tell his father that no matter under what circumstances, he could not negotiate the payment without authorization.

Even if you can't fight, you have to take out the decision that you would rather fight for jade than for tile. Whether to talk about peace is a matter for the court, and only the emperor can make the decision.

The Chahar ministries are actually strong on the outside and capable on the inside, so we must be tough on them.

Lin Danhan didn't insist on not giving money and food from the court. He had to force them to exchange horses, cattle, sheep, and leather goods.
