Chapter 357: Formation of the Shengong Army
"Plan? Just work with the Ou people." The Tiger King said firmly. His life in the Shengong Temple was very comfortable, but now it was so comfortable that he felt uncomfortable all over his body.
He always feels that other people's eyes are like a knife, which makes him feel uncomfortable all over. Although he is a traveler and is better than an ordinary person, he can only ensure food and clothing. If he succeeds in business, he can have some money and let his family live comfortably for several months.
No matter what, the Tiger King is still a commoner. Here, he lives a uncomfortable life. Anyway, he is over 40 years old and his son is older. The eldest son in the family is in his early twenties, which is better than his father.
The gentleman is a good person. He not only takes care of him, but also takes care of his family. He takes time to personally guide his two sons. The younger son seems to be incompetent, and the eldest son is good. He not only becomes a warrior, but also becomes a great manager.
The eldest son's big manager is not like him. The tiger king can only do some small things. The eldest son is promising and already manages a large workshop.
The boy didn't like to talk, so he could just let him go, but looking at his own eyes made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't let his son go, but he also wanted to let his son bear the strange gazes of others. This is what the Tiger King couldn't stand the most.
After all, it is a ninth-grade warrior. If you fight, let those bastards see that the Tiger King is still the Tiger King who dared to fight and kill back then. You can't hold your son back. The man is even a grandson.
"Uncle Wang, this is not possible. You must have a plan. This is fine. You will be by my side during this period. I will teach you how to form a command force." Renault said in his heart.
As a secret master, according to the rules of the secret master, he cannot participate in any war, but it is different from the national war of the Austrians. This is a race war. Even if he cannot go to the battlefield, he can send someone to join the war in the name of Shengong City. This should not be considered a bad rule.
In fact, Renault doesn’t care about the rules of the secret master, but when you live in Da Chu, you have to consider the problems according to the thinking of the people of Da Chu. If you break the rules of the secret master, will people still think of you as a secret master in the future?
Renault knew very well that he could build the Shengong City here because of the impact he brought to the Chu people in recent years, and the other half because he was recognized by all parties and supported him with full support. Otherwise, what could he do alone?
"Command the troops?" The Tiger King was stunned. He originally wanted to go to the battlefield with his own force, kill a few more heads, and make military achievements to make his son's family shine, so that they know that the Tiger King could not rely entirely on his husband to live his current life.
Judging from what the sir said, would he be a general?
"Of course! Uncle Wang, think about it. If you represent Shengong City, you naturally need troops and you must win battles. You don't have to worry about this. I will teach you for a while. When the troops are formed, you will know that you will definitely not be defeated." Renault said confidently.
With the current industrial strength of Shengong City, it is too easy to build a powerful small army. Without considering strategically, it is just a tactical victory. It is not like playing. As long as you don’t encounter a large number of masters or earth immortals, there is no reason to lose.
As soon as the news was released, Shengong City became lively. I heard that the gentleman was preparing to form a unit of 3,000 people. In less than a day, the number of people who signed up exceeded 10,000.
They watched the Shengong City be built bit by bit, and as various workshops rose up and all kinds of soldiers were transported out like flowing water, the troops formed by the teacher were definitely the most well-equipped in the Great Chu.
With the help of Mr. Wang's secret technique, no one is stupid. If he goes to the front line, he will definitely die, but the losses will never be large. Moreover, a unit of 3,000 people cannot become the main force of the front battlefield. The troops of Shengong City cannot command it. Even if General Wei comes in person, will he dare to command it?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this army is making merits when it goes to the front line. It not only has the military achievements of Da Chu, but also the merit points of Shengong City. It can be exchanged for many good things that can't be bought even if you spend money outside.
Flowing clouds, rain forests, scenery blue, black phoenix...
Sir, we are our own people, our direct descendants. This kind of thing cannot be cheaper than outsiders. You see, we can draw a lot of people here, and now we can only serve as guards. There is nothing important about the camps in Shengong City...
Feng Moyu, Lan Yunxi, Yuanling, Jing Lan, and even the people from Emperor Ji City came to ask if they could draw some people from their troops to join the Divine Workers Army.
This army with a capacity of 3,000 people has not yet been used to make a name for the troops, and it is called the Shengong Army, and some people even have begun to prepare the battle flag.
It is a good thing to be enthusiastic, and it is also a good thing to be used in military affairs, but Renault doesn't want to use these people.
All forces from all sides have their own little plan. It’s not that the Tiger King cannot command them, but these people are used to being wild. The army is different from local forces. It emphasizes orders and must rush forward to face the sea of fire.
Relying on these people?
There will definitely be no problem when fighting a tailwind battle. If he loses, Renault suspects that their escape speed can even exceed that of the Tiger King of the Ninth-grade Warrior.
"Everyone, you have been following Lei for a long time. Seeing us building Shengong City from scratch, we cannot do without you here. Therefore, this team on the front line cannot draw people from you. None of them can do it. Shengong City needs you." Renault said with a calm face. This reason is quite powerful.
Everyone left with disappointment. The gentleman valued them so much and continued to fight, which would be shameless. Although he failed to get his tribe members to join the Divine Workers Army, he could at least be sure that the gentleman looked at them very much, which was a great gain.
When these forces joined, Renault was worried that they would dominate the whole family. Now there are hundreds of thousands of people working near Shengong City. There are also many officials from the Ministry of Works, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Revenue. It won’t take long to go, an army of more than 200,000 people will be responsible for protecting the place. The dozens or hundreds of people used to be nothing.
"Uncle Wang, remember, the army is different from private armed forces, and these people cannot be used. Although they are easy to use, when you go to the battlefield, you will find that these people are unreliable. Give them 500 people in the coolie camp and tell them that they are purely voluntary. Except for the first batch of coolie turning into civilians, they only accept people who perform well to join the Divine Workers Army. If the number of people is insufficient, don't force them. How many are counted?" Renault said.
"Yes." The Tiger King realized that the gentleman did not value them, but did not like them.
"All coolies who are willing to join the Divine Workers Army will be directly converted to civilians after the three-month trial period, and will be provided according to the standards of normal sergeants, and will be treated equally." Renault continued.
The number of people in the coolie camp has been increasing repeatedly, and now it has reached more than 50,000. In addition to the first batch, more than 300 people were selected, and after they performed well, they became civilians, the rest are still working hard to fight for themselves to have freedom.
"Tiger Ya, Zhenyuan-class warships, there are two of them in total, right?" Renault turned around and asked Tier Ya.
"Yes, sir, there are two Zhenyuan-class ships, four Dingyuan-class ships, and ten fat men." Huya looked at Mo Xiang and dared to reply after getting a positive answer. His mind was not so smart and he couldn't remember much data.
The Zhenyuan class is equivalent to the first-class warship of the Dachu Navy, with a length of 80 meters and a capacity of 360 people. Compared with wooden battleships, the ironclad ship is wider and has a larger displacement, reaching a level of 3,000 tons. It uses dual boilers and sail auxiliary power, and can run at a maximum speed of fifteen knots without wind.
The Dingyuan class is slightly smaller, equivalent to the second-level warship of the Dachu Navy. It is 60 meters long, has a displacement of 1,800 tons, and a capacity of 180 people. It is also a dual boiler with a speed of up to 20 knots.
As for the fat man, he is a pure transport ship, and also an iron-armored ship. In addition to the angle of the collision, he only has a small number of crossbows, with a displacement of up to 4,500 tons and can transport 1,000 soldiers at a time.
With sufficient manpower, dozens of dry docks were started along the coastline at the same time, but most of them were in the air, and only sixteen docks were building ships.
There is not much technical problem with casting shipbuilding. As long as a person who knows how to do it, he can start work with a group of coolies and blacksmiths. However, boiler production is a big problem. Now it can only be manufactured manually in the laboratory.
Fourteen ships need at least twenty-eight boilers. Mo Zi was so worried that he lost his hair and his production speed could not keep up. Moreover, Mo Zi not only had to make a boiler, but also had a lot of R&D tasks waiting for him. Renault was really using people to death. Mo Zi was so busy all day long that he didn't even have time to go to the toilet.
It’s not that Renault is cruel. There are too few people in the craftsman camp laboratory. Zhang Tan and Xiaoman are both magic craftsmen. It’s too difficult to make them work and do research. Their thinking has long been fixed, and it’s too difficult to change their thinking. In this regard, they are not even as good as the apprentices brought by Mo Zi.
Now, except for Mo Zi, the one who can take the lead in the laboratory is Luo Ning, who has only been to Shengong City for half a year. That girl is really a genius figure. In a very short time, she has followed Mo Zi's footsteps and can now lead the R&D team independently.
From the initial disdain to the current worship, she has few opportunities to contact Renault, but she has seen too many magical things from Mo Zi.
As for her family, she had already moved. She heard from Mozi that her husband believed that the battle with the Ao people would be defeated in the early stages. Her hometown was in Lin'an Prefecture, Hongzhou, and it was the commercial capital of Dachu. It was also a prefecture near the sea, so it was not safe there.
Luo Ning didn't care about family business or something. He learned the secret technique of Master Lei here. Even if his family property was ruined, she could earn another richest man in just a few years, not the richest man in Hongzhou, but the richest man in Dachu.
"Uncle Wang, a powerful force must not only have an army, but also an air force and a navy. Three-dimensional warfare in sea, land and air is the future development direction. The troops you lead in the future will not only fight, but also use them to summarize experience and point out the direction for future wars." Renault said.
The tiger king lowered his head and moved his pen quickly, and he wanted to record all of this.
