Yours are ours.

Ours, not necessarily yours.

But we can make you live a better life.

Eunuch Wei shouted this slogan from the bottom of his heart. He did not want to reform the Liyang Iron Farm to engage in public-private joint ventures, but to increase the enthusiasm of miners and porters to produce so that they can have a sense of belonging to Liyang Iron Farm and his Eunuch Wei, and then have a sense of ownership.

The enthusiasm of working for others will never be as good as working for yourself.

Similarly, the courage to defend other people's industries is not as good as the courage to defend one's own industries.

The Liyang Iron Farm is located in Yingtian Prefecture, under the nose of Nandu.

And Eunuch Wei cannot stay in the iron field forever, and he cannot always go to Nandu City to punish the traitor.

Things can be one, not two.

Therefore, to prepare for the last rain, my father-in-law must form a team to arm the defense of Liyang Iron Field.

This team was able to take the responsibility of protecting production and transportation in the Liyang Iron Farm when Eunuch Wei was away, and it was difficult for the Ming Dynasty Iron Farm to take timely and bravely shoulder the important task of protecting production and transportation in Liyang Iron Farm.

No one can compare to the miners in the iron field. The porters are more powerful and disciplined.

Mobilize miners and porters to exert their strength, and it will be enough to deal with all the monsters and monsters.

In essence, miners and porters are the workers and peasants class, guiding their class attributes can even create history.

Of course, my father-in-law could not engage in a class revolution, so that his own life would be destroyed first.

Eunuchs originate from the people, but eunuchs who become officials are members of the ruling class.

The chief supervisor of the Inner Garrison Hall, Eunuch Chen, can analyze the principle that eunuchs should be self-improvement and class opposition, but these miners and porters must not do this.

Education and publicity always have some choices.

At least at present, Eunuch Wei will never introduce the theory of struggle hundreds of years later.

The father-in-law wanted to do was actually the whole nation. He organized all the miners and porters of Liyang Iron Farm into the mine guards and divided them into ten teams, each with three hundred people.

Each month, at least two teams must conduct military training for three to five days. At the same time, each team is allocated according to the number of days so that it can be used as a rotation to defend the task.

It’s like one team producing, one team taking turns, and one team training.

When the production tasks are heavy, the rotation can be reduced; when the production tasks are light, the training can be increased.

As long as the work arrangement is reasonable, the cost of rotating the mines and conducting military training is not much.

In order to encourage these mine guards to better exercise their responsibilities and even develop the idea of ​​defending the mine with death, Eunuch Wei spared no expense to set a rotating mission to the mine guards to receive an additional ten copper subsidy every day, and the iron farm can also provide meat dishes on the same day.

All arrangements should be like militias in later generations. Of course, Eunuch Wei is building a militia, or conducting reserve training for the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army at the Liyang Iron Field.

This is a pilot project.

Having nearly 3,000 semi-militarized forces composed of miners and porters with discipline, physical strength, and hard work must be controlled by their father-in-law's confidants and cannot be put into the hands of others.

It should be noted that this semi-militarized force can evolve into a paramilitary force at any time, and a complete army. In the military formation of Eunuch Wei, there is even a division of troops waiting for these miners and porters.

Such an important force can not be entrusted to others.

Just looking around, there are no suitable candidates around my father-in-law.

The children in my hometown are still in the polishing stage, and my father-in-law’s relatives don’t have any outstanding talents.

Finally, General Oda recommended Captain Dongcun as the captain of the mine guard.

Dongcun has always been his father-in-law's personal guard. He was the former fourth army of the Japanese invaders and an excellent iron gunner. His father-in-law agreed to this candidate and he had no doubt about Dongcun's loyalty. Twenty Japanese officers and soldiers were transferred to the mine guard together with Dongcun, who would be responsible for the training and organization of the mine guard.

To this end, my father-in-law deliberately allocated 100 muskets for use by the mine guards, and also allocated 400 standard weapons to ensure that the mine guards can defend themselves as soon as possible when an emergency occurs.

The candidates for the squadrons and squadron leaders of the Mine Guard shall be elected by the miners and porters themselves, which can ensure the cohesion of the team and also allow the miners and porters to feel the joy of being the master of their own for the first time.

The managers and accountants of the mine were assigned to the documentary office for specific management, iron farm affairs and management. The father-in-law handed over to his brother-in-law Wang Youxi, who had sent someone back to the Special Administrative Region to transfer his brother-in-law to the special zone.

After such a long period of observation, my father-in-law found that his brother-in-law was really not suitable for being in the army. In addition, the expedition was about to be on the rise. My father-in-law was afraid that his sister would become a widow, so he happened to transfer him to the iron farm.

It doesn’t matter if my brother-in-law is illiterate, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand the account. He just needs to sit in this seat. There must be disadvantages, but now things are urgent, so my father-in-law can only let his brother-in-law take the blame for the time being.

My father-in-law repeatedly instructed Dongcun that the mine guards must be organized and trained as soon as possible, because in the latest three months, hundreds of people will be drawn to join the Imperial Army.

Dongcun felt deeply that the head of the family was entrusted and was willing to devote himself to his whole life and die.

Afterwards, the father-in-law met with the magistrate Qiu in Liyang, and had a good chat with the other party, so that the magistrate Qiu knew the importance of the iron field of Eunuch Wei, and the magistrate knew the fate of going against Eunuch Wei.

Magistrate Qiu was very respectful and well-behaved. Duke Wei and others were no match for Eunuch Wei. How could he dare to have other ideas like this little magistrate?

Speaking of which, he is still grateful.

If it weren't for Eunuch Wei, his dignified magistrate would be Xu Yuan's dog at this point, so how could he really taste the taste of Bailihou?

Another day of delay, his father-in-law inspected all aspects of the iron farm and met several private mine owners. After confirming that there was no abnormal movement in the Nandu, he led his troops to leave.

But more than a hundred officers and soldiers of the cavalry team remained. They will stay in the iron field for a few months to ensure that some guys from the southern capital will not take advantage of the main force of the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Army to attack the iron field.

In fact, the Nandu City has been staring at Liyang. After hearing that Eunuch Wei led his troops away, many nobles were relieved. After that, they complained to each other.

The Marquis of Fengcheng has had a hard time these days, because Duke Wei and Longping and others obviously did not regard him as a group. Fortunately, the Marquis of Lingbi, Tang Guozuo, Zhenyi, Liu Xuchen, Dongning, Jiao Mengxiong, etc., still miss his love very much. The Emperor's Monk of Nandu was divided into two parts, and he could no longer exhaled his anger as before.

The Duke of Wei was unable to fight or take revenge. He watched Wei Yin take away all his family, soldiers and generals, which was really annoyed.

He has written a letter with Xin Chengbo and others, and now it depends on whether the emperor has decided for them.
