Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 214 A New Great War Is Brewing

Hong Chengchou's plan is to encourage Huguang people to fight against Bai Mingxiu, but to achieve this, he needs a strong control over the people and time.

What he doesn't know is that the imperial guards built by Bai Mingxiu's four King Kongs (Chess King Kong) are becoming more and more terrifying, and some grassroots cadres trained by Nan Ming can already expand outward and spread Ming's new ideas at the bottom. Thought.

The traitor Laogou and his land Zhou Peigong are completely unaware that even in the three provinces of Huguang, Jiangxi and Fujian that Nanming did not control, there are already a large number of Ming underground workers. They are contacting the masses, instigating rebels, and collecting information. Hong Chengchou, Murima and his ilk couldn't imagine how terrible this wave was.

From traffickers to poor scholars, they may have been developed into agents of Jinyiwei. They may not do much. Some people just tell a story many times; Reaching certain people at certain times, a vast network of intelligence and sabotage is taking shape, flexing its silent power.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Shanghai will naturally not be idle. Apart from continuing to improve the government affairs system and engage in economic development and industrial construction, his core focus is still on war.He didn't want to procrastinate, but wanted to resolve the war between Ming and Qing as quickly as possible.

After occupying the south of the Yangtze River, the Ming army not only obtained a huge source of taxation and food production, but also had a population of more than 2000 million.Bai Mingxiu was expanding his army completely without hesitation. A large number of captured green soldiers from the Qing army were screened and sent to the new East China Army training base. There are twice as many rookie soldiers as defectors.

For a large number of captives of a lower level, the demobilization work is more complicated. Those who are at home can go back. If they are in the Qing Dynasty, they will be gathered and temporarily used as labor force to obey the local production and labor arrangements.

The Army of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army also underwent another organizational adjustment. It was divided into three major military regions: the East China Military Region, the South China Military Region, and the Southwest Military Region. The military region has also become the military region with the largest military force, with 14 combatants.The South China Military Region is next, with 15 combatants.

The army strength of the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Army alone has exceeded 20. Considering that Bai Mingxiu only started to form the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Army in the 15th year of the Yongli calendar, now only a little more than a year has passed, and the strength of the army has already increased to this level , in addition to the fact that Goldfinger is really big and strong, his personal operation and development speed are indeed not slow.

Bai Mingxiu was still wearing the magic spell given to him by the system to completely pacify the area south of the Yangtze River in mid-1663.Therefore, the time for Bai Mingxiu's strategic adjustments was very short. After more than three months after Jiangnan was pacified, Nanming's war machine would need to be turned on again.

This campaign will be completely different from the previous Southwest Campaign and Jiangnan Campaign. It will be a general offensive launched by the three military regions at the same time, targeting the entire area south of the Yangtze River.

The Manchu Qing side didn't notice this, and even considered negotiating peace with Nanming, but so far, the envoys with braids have not even seen the prince's face. dialogue.

Under the slack appearance, Nanming is already making a lot of preparations.

The Australian Ordnance Bureau, the Southern Arsenal, and the newly established Jiangnan Armed Forces Group in Jiangnan have adjusted their full production capacity and started supplying weapons and equipment for the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army.Bai Mingxiu was determined to complete the replacement of the standard weapons of the 20 Ming Dynasty Restoration Army before launching a new campaign.

Of course, this is not a difficult task, even if the ordnance department can't keep up, Bai Mingxiu still has the system father.

The system has seldom actively had a dialogue with Bai Mingxiu during this period of time. If Bai Mingxiu didn't open the AR interface to browse the exchange list every day, he would almost feel that the system had left him.

Not releasing new missions, and cutting off his own random gift package, Bai Mingxiu secretly suspected that there might be some malfunction in the system itself, or something happened.After all, the system itself said that they also have social interaction in the system world, and there is also competition.

But recently, because Qian Qianyi died of seasickness on the way to Java, the system told him that he had completed another target of the top ten traitors, and rewarded him with some golden finger coins and some toilet paper.

That's right, the reward for killing Qian Qianyi is 100 tons of toilet paper. Bai Mingxiu feels a little helpless about this setting. If he has a system warehouse to store things, how to deal with these toilet papers is still a problem, and it can't be distributed as a national welfare.

The brand-new arsenal of the Jiangnan Armed Forces Group is located in the industrial park of Shanghai Xincheng. Bai Mingxiu directly swayed Goldfinger coins to get the production line, and transferred employees from Australia and Guangdong, as well as local craftsmen from Jiangnan to transform the labor force. production.

Walking in the factory building, looking at the master workers in overalls and short shaved hair, Bai Mingxiu really has the sense of sight of the factory in the 70s and [-]s after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the symbols with classical characteristics are here None of the factories, workers and engineers dressed in modern clothes.

It is also because of the needs of production that basically all the newly built factories in Daming require workers to wear new-style clothing, which is simple and convenient, and is conducive to production.For poor workers, work clothes are distributed, so as not to spend money on making clothes themselves, they are willing to wear anything.

The chief engineer of the factory, Huang Ying, is an Australian. He has successively assisted in the construction of the Southern Ordnance Industry and the Jiangnan Military Group. Wearing work clothes means that they are people from our factory, and they can also be regarded as people in the national system. They have a big canteen to eat, welfare, and drought and flood guarantees and salary guarantees. Gradually, they have a sense of honor, so even on weekends, our workers They are all wearing overalls and panicking outside, but they have face."

Bai Mingxiu also praised: "This can also be regarded as cultivating the sense of ownership of the working class."

Huang Yingdao: "In the final analysis, our treatment is better. Our factory works 10 hours a day, and the workers who were originally handicraftsmen are apprentices in the factory. Now there are junior apprentices, intermediate apprentices and advanced apprentices. Raise the salary by one level, and if you get promoted to a senior worker, your salary will more than double.”

Because although the technical level of these factories established by Bai Mingxiu is something from the steam age, after all, Bai Mingxiu came from later generations and has also been exposed to the essence of modern management. In terms of production efficiency, it is definitely much higher than the real enterprises in the industrial age of the 18th century. Yes, then the natural benefits are good, and the wages paid to the workers are obviously higher.

Daming’s factory also has a national occupational rating system, which is actually the eight-level worker system in New China, but the workers who have transformed from handicrafts are basically still at the apprentice level.But this didn't prevent them from looking up to those skilled people recruited by Bai Mingxiu from the system.
