Chapter 148 Great expansion of the army

"Have you released new things in the R&D center?"

The two chemical factory employees who came out for lunch after get off work at noon were numb when they looked at the colorful balls in the sky!

They are almost ten miles away from the R&D center, and they can see the thing in the sky clearly!

Li Bin is still working on the five-cylinder star engine that he is thinking about. He always has some minor problems. It’s nothing to put this minor problem on the ground. God will kill people!

The Nanyang labor plan is imminent again, so they can only make some hot air balloons first to respond to the emergency!

He went to Nanyang to catch labor, not to play hide-and-seek with others. Of course, he had to use the Air Force as a magic weapon for the complex terrain!

With hot air balloons, it’s okay to control at least a few dozen miles! This thing is also very useful on the prairie at that time!

“How high is it?”

Li Bin stood on the ground, holding Tuantuan who kept jumping up!

"Fifty meters!"

Lao Wang looked at the ruler drawn with red paint on the rope!

"Enough, just keep the hot air balloon at this height. It's okay to use a telescope to monitor the surroundings for ten miles! Freely let them go to the Songliao Plain to practice!"

After confirming that the hot air balloon flight test was successful, Li Bin held the highest-level military meeting this year!

Navy Minister Pan Zhigang, Army Minister Long Changsheng, Army Chief of Staff Sheng Xiaobo, North Sea Fleet Commander Zhou Yun, South Sea Fleet Commander Zhao Dali and other senior military leaders were all present, including Guo Shaoan of the Ministry of Commerce!

"Now the army is 70,000, and the navy is 20,000. Now we need troops to control the army from Xingkai Lake in the north and Nanhua in the south, so the company is ready to continue to expand the army! The army is expanded to 200,000, and this 200,000 mechanized legion is divided into 100,000 mechanized legion, responsible for the offensive, 100,000 infantry, responsible for the defense of various places!"

After talking about the Army’s plan, Li Bin turned to Long Changsheng: “Do you have the confidence to complete the training within three months?”

Long Changsheng thought about it: "We can disperse them to two places where the troops are relatively concentrated in Liaodong and Honghe, and let those veterans train for 130,000 people. We just need to pick 13,000 veterans out to be the squad leader!"

Li Bin nodded. Long Changsheng's idea was similar to his. Now all troops have garrison tasks, so it is definitely impossible to draw back to train new recruits!

"The Navy is going to form two Marines, division-level units, with 22,000 people! In addition, you also need to help the Air Force train 1,000 people, and you also need to train a navy of 20,000 people. Is there any problem?"

Pan Zhigang nodded: "We have only two fleets of navy now, most of which are carrying out transportation or fishing tasks. We can draw enough personnel in this part! That is, can the navy give us more warships? The North Sea Fleet is not bad now, and the South Sea Fleet is too big to manage, so we don't even have time to clean up the pirates!"

Li Bin laughed: "This military expansion is to strengthen the strength of your navy. All training will be completed this year. Next year, we will do big moves in Nanyang! Then all of them will be replaced with city-level warships and transport ships!"

Pan Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief. Li Bin's navy is indeed very small now! Although it is invincible in the world, what is more than a dozen ships? It would be great to be able to protect his port!

"This time, the recruitment of soldiers is mainly based on families. The soldiers' families arranged to go to the Honghe Delta to farm. Each family should be divided into 50 acres first! In this way, the land in the Honghe Delta will be basically divided! If there is not enough, we will continue to divide the south! It doesn't matter if the land is not as good as the delta, so it doesn't matter if the land is as good as the delta. The Ministry of Commerce should pay attention when recruiting soldiers!"

This is what Guo Shaoan said! China Resources Department Store is the hands of China Company in the Ming Dynasty, and it is best for them to recruit soldiers in the Ming Dynasty!

Li Bin didn't want to keep it secret either! After all, he was recruiting soldiers, so he must have made it clear to others at that time! And the number is as high as 170,000, so how can it be kept secret!

The Ministry of Commerce is busy attracting people, the Arsenal Factory is busy building guns and cannons, the textile factory is busy building military uniforms and sleeping bags, the hardware factory is busy building pots and pans for the army, and the vehicle factory has to build enough side three-wheel and four-wheel diesel vehicles! Everyone in the entire Huaxia company is very busy!

Chongzhen is now standing in the villa built for him by Li Bin and is in a happy mood: "This man is indeed agile! He can build a house so unique! It is much better than my Ganqing Palace, transparent and refreshing!"

Queen Zhou stood by the swimming pool, smiling like a flower!

"Your Majesty, urgent news is coming from Tianjin!"

Although Wang Chengen did not want to disturb Chongzhen's mood at this time, he dare not hide such news!

"Li Bin expands his army by 170,000? Will the total force reach 260,000?"

Chongzhen's good mood to live in a new house disappeared! But he really couldn't tell him that he was angry!

Li Bin entered Beijing last time, but he didn't say he wanted to steal his throne. Are you tempted now? It's enough to sweep the Ming Dynasty based on his military strength!

If you can't figure it out, just ask directly: "Go to their Beijing branch of China Resources Department Store and ask, see what he wants to do!"

After all, Beijing is at the foot of the emperor, so Guo Shaoan was very treacherous and did not include Beijing as the recruitment location! He should give his boss's father-in-law some face!

In less than an hour, Wang Chengen sent Li Bin's reply to Chongzhen: "It's just helping the Ming Dynasty clean up the surrounding areas and expand living space for the Ming Dynasty's people!"

"This bandit is indeed ready to go out to harm the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty!"

Alas, it would be better if he could clear out Mongolia's major concern!

Chongzhen's face was very distorted, and he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry!

"Dongzi, do you really want to join the army of the Chinese company?"

Although Mi Dong's surname is Mi, it is rare to eat rice at home. Usually, it is just a chaff mixed with vegetables! It's not that his father and he are not diligent, but he has not been able to do well in recent years. The government has collected a lot of money, and the owner's rent cannot be reduced. He has been busy all year round, but he has earned some chaff to make his stomach feel happy!

"What's wrong with joining their army? We didn't know when we organized people to go to Honghe last time. Now we have a rare opportunity. At that time, we will allocate fifty acres of paddy fields to our family, so that our parents can have a few full meals!"

Mi Dong's father squatted in the corner and said nothing, but his mother was still persuading him: "Your father is the only son, and both young ones are daughters. This is a mess. If there is any reason, who will pass on the Mi family's family to your family?"

Mi Dong was not worried much: "They have seen the soldiers and parents in the department store. They are not ordinary people. I have also inquired specifically. I heard that their army teaches reading and writing, and the monthly military pay is paid on time and never deducted! And they will be given a wife after serving for one year! I just heard that the training is very hard, but three meals of rice every day include fish and meat. If you have to be bitter, you can get bitter! "

His mother was obviously moved by the words "bride-in-law"! In such a family, it is hard to get married by themselves!

"You have thought about it yourself? You will have life and death if you enter the military camp! Don't violate other people's military laws!"

Mi Dong's father asked in a depressed manner! He didn't even think that his only son would join the army, but looking at two girls who were like bean sprouts, the rain this year was not good, and maybe the whole family would starve to death this year. Now he can only rely on this son to make a living for his family!

Mi Dong nodded firmly: "I thought about it, I can't watch my parents and sister not even have enough food every day, and I have to work hard to carry water to water the ground! This year, the weather is wrong. If our family doesn't think of a solution, there will be no way out!"

There are such families everywhere in the Ming Dynasty who have made the most difficult decisions in their lives! It’s better if you have a few sons at home. A family like the Mi family feels like using their only son to change the way for the whole family!

No matter what, Li Bin's 170,000 recruits were still fully recruited within one month. If it weren't for the physical condition, it would have been faster!

This year, there is still drought in the north and flood in the south. Even the people in the south of the Yangtze River have begun to appear refugees! The land is soaked in water, and you can't wait to starve to death if you don't escape!

From it, we picked new recruits with physical conditions and sent their families to the Honghe Valley to farm. The other refugees first went to the Songliao Plain to build roads! Anyway, the food in the Songliao Plain was harvested in more than a month. The company took some reserves and recruited more people.

"We are now simply Chongzhen's refugee shelter! Now the local governments in the Ming Dynasty don't even make pretending to be porridge, just waiting for us to take away the refugee!"

Guo Shaoan was angry at the work communication meeting! Indeed! The company suddenly had so many people, and it was impossible to arrange it properly for a while, so it could only be maintained first. The company paid a lot of reserved grain, clothing, houses, and medicines for this!

Everyone was a little busy!

"Honesty, the difficulties are temporary. The soldiers' families have collected nearly one million yuan, but they still care about the more than one million yuan? The food in the Songliao Plain will soon be dropped. I will use the reserves to support them first! Those people's work will be arranged slowly!"

As the leader, Li Bin can only cheer everyone up like this!

Yun Lan, Minister of Finance, raised the most concerned issue: "We are not worried about this, what we are most worried about is that new refugees are still arising from now on. All local governments guide them to gather in our department stores. This is the biggest trouble!"

Everyone's hearts sank! They are not afraid of any enemy on the surface now! All enemies are trampled to death! What they are afraid of is this kind of evil that is secretly bad!

Now, not only is the company's food unable to keep up, but so many refugees need to be managed by people. At least the security work must be kept up, otherwise I don't know how big the chaos will happen!

Li Bin knocked on the table and thought for a moment: "How much has our immigration contract with South China?"

Guo Shaoan looked through the folder in front of him: "One.3 million, now they are training the managers below! Even our immigration speed has been suspended!"

"Send them 500,000 yuan. Most of the people there are already settled. It is not a big problem to draw some people out! Just make sure these immigrants have food to eat! They are not short of food for these hundreds of thousands of people now!"

Li Bin doesn’t care about so much now, saving people is important!

"Five hundred thousand may not be enough. We can send 300,000 to Li Zicheng. I think it's not a big problem for him to arrange these people! Should I contact Zheng Zhilong again and give him 500,000!"

Guo Shaoan was inspired and began to come up with ideas!
Chapter completed!
