In the second year of Chongzhen, on the eighth day of the twelfth month, after a period of labor and ideology reform, many former pirates had changed their minds. The distribution of pirate captives was finally on the agenda.
Nearly 4,000 human resources were like a fresh giant steak, which attracted the covetous eyes of many departments. Every department wanted to increase manpower to expand their own institutions and increase the production capacity of their institutions in order to increase their right to speak.
At the conclusion meeting of the Laba Festival, the chiefs of the various departments argued about the ownership of thousands of manpower. Although thousands of manpower still needed some time to be reformed, divided, and consolidated before being used, it did not prevent the various departments from pre-ordering this fat "cake".
Every department's reasons were very good. The military team, especially the army, proudly expressed that it was urgent to recruit a battalion of soldiers. The army officer pointed out that if the army did not desperately resist the enemy's invasion, the infrastructure of Chiying Town would be destroyed by the enemy, and the territory of Australia and Song would even be reduced to a corner of Gaoxiong.
The military structure of Australia and Song imitated the military structure of the American Civil War. This high-intensity American Civil War was known as " advanced weapons and equipment, outdated infantry tactics ". The infantry firepower configuration had been baptized by the flames of war and was very suitable for the needs of the transmigration group.
An infantry company was a basic tactical unit. An infantry company was made up of 100 soldiers, including officers and cooks. The Aosong Empire used a large battalion system. During combat, it was composed of a few infantry battalions and did not have a regiment.
An infantry battalion was made up of 845- 1010 soldiers, with at least 8 companies. According to the needs of the war, the artillery company and the engineering company were added. In other words, it was an 8-step cannon or 10-step cannon.
With the firepower of the Fubo Army, an infantry battalion of about a thousand people was enough to defeat five or even ten times the number of enemies. An infantry battalion with a few thousand cold weapon soldiers could completely take charge of an area alone and sweep away the trash chicken guard troops and camp sentries in a province of Ming.
However, powerful firepower meant double the consumption of logistics. Training required firing guns and cannons, and the faster the firing speed of the flintlock, the faster the consumption of ammunition.
The huge consumption of the high-ranking personnel defense war made the logistics veterans complain endlessly. The volunteer army could only destroy an enemy with an average of 300 bullets in the War to Resist the United States and aid Korea. Although the Fubo Army soldiers had single-shot rifles, they consumed a lot of ammunition.
The material reserves of the transmigration organization itself were not very abundant. Now that Li Kuiqi had sealed off the Fujian coast, there was no supply of goods from the Chinese merchants. With only a few sporadic supplies from the Nanyang Chinese merchants, the transmigration organization was already doing its best to cope with the ammunition consumption of a battalion.
If there was another infantry battalion, it was estimated that after a few battles, the firearms of the entire army would be reduced to fire sticks, and the soldiers could only use bayonet to fight the enemy in close combat. Therefore, the proposal to expand the army was quickly opposed by everyone.
"I object!" The people from the Munitions Factory shouted,
"I also object!" The strong protest of the infrastructure team
" The army's 1,000 men is enough. Moreover, we have defeated the joint attack of Liu Xiang and the Dutchman. If the other sea gangs want to rob us, they will have to consider their strength," the navy also expressed their opposition.
Just as the army expansion plan was about to die, Wang Kaizhi came out and said," It is indeed too costly to expand the Fubo Army by one battalion. However, the 'Ao Song' is not a local independent force, and we can't live peacefully on this island. Sooner or later, we will have to go out and conquer the stupid port in Taixi. We will also have to take down Danshui and Keelung in Taibei. However, the expansion will inevitably require the army to occupy it. The strength of the army is an indispensable part.”Wang Kaizhi paused for a moment and added," So my suggestion is to expand a battalion of infantry. Before the sea trade channel is restored, this new recruit will mainly be equipped with spears, broadswords, and other cold weapons. It can also assist in the construction of infrastructure during normal times. It will be a guest production and construction corps. In addition, the strength of the navy should also be strengthened. After the first batch of armed speedboats is completed, we will build another four armed speedboats. In addition, we will specially approve the navy to build two 600-ton steam gunboats. Our coastal defense security will depend on the navy to protect.“
The expansion of a battalion of militia did not put much pressure on the logistics, and it could also help with the construction of infrastructure. The navy also benefited from the expansion of the fleet, and there was no need to oppose the expansion of the army. Therefore, the people from several departments withdrew their objections and expressed their agreement with Zhu Xi's instructions.
The next step was for the infrastructure team to fight for manpower. They had a good reason for this-the stronghold of the transmigrators had three officers in Shazhou. The distance between Chikan and Gaoxiong was relatively far. Although there was a completed simple highway between the two places, the infrastructure between Gaoxiong and Pingdong was still blank.
Taking a step back, there were no roads or bridges. Once the teams working outdoors discovered the enemy, they would not even be able to send reinforcements in time.
Tainan had a tropical monsoonal climate, so there was no lack of rainfall. The areas without simple roads were all dirt roads. If it rained heavily, mud and puddles would intertwine, and the mobility of infantry and artillery would be affected.
Thus, the construction team successfully took away the distribution rights of hundreds of manpower.
The success of the infrastructure team made the people in the industrial team uneasy. Industry was the pillar of the country. Without the continuous supply of industrial products, the transmigrators could not stay in the Tainan area, which was surrounded by natives and had a harsh environment. The people in the early stage of industrialization were in urgent need of population, just like a hungry wolf that could never fill its stomach.
Stressing their own importance and urgency, the various departments could not care less about the friendship between them. They wished they could jump up at the discussion table and shout," Son of a b * tch, let's have a one-on-one fight if you have the guts."
Wang Kaizhi was not interested in this kind of noisy " democratic discussion." He liked to do his job in an orderly manner.
However, Wang Kaizhi also understood that the root cause of the fierce argument in the meeting was that the cake was not big enough. The uneven distribution would exist for a long time in the stage of resource scarcity. He could only weigh the pros and cons in the multi-party discussion and choose the more important projects to tilt resources.
At the beginning of the meeting, it was to see who had the loudest voice. However, after Wang Kaizhi scolded them and even expelled a few elders who crossed the line, the order of the meeting improved a lot. In the "lewd" Under the pressure, everyone only dared to use their expressions to match, not even daring to spit out a big drop of saliva.
Just as the participants were arguing, a slightly plump man stood up. He only said a simple sentence and killed all the team leaders.
It was Yuan Ping, the leader of the agriculture team. He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and said calmly,"If you are willing to have the same dishes as before, then take away all the manpower."”
Therefore, all the team leaders shut up. Fighting for manpower for their own departments was for everyone's benefit and their future resume. To put it bluntly, it was for long-term benefits, but the variety of their daily diet was related to their immediate interests.
This was like how the media often asked passersby outdoors if they would donate 10 million or 1,000 dollars to the poor. Almost everyone agreed to donate 10 million but refused 1,000 dollars because they did not have 10 million but really had 1,000 dollars.
Yuan Ping, who was in charge of the agriculture team, won a great victory. He had reserved 1500 people in advance. Instead of saying that his words were short and powerful, it was better to say that he had pinched the back of human nature.
According to Yuan Ping's experience and the agricultural technology of the agricultural countries, without the help of any machinery, an ordinary labor force with the help of a cow or a horse could take care of 50 mu of dry land or 20 mu of paddy field.
Without the help of animal power, it was quite difficult for an adult to serve ten mu of land and maintain a good yield.
The agricultural group cultivated 500 mu of model fields
A yield of 3 dan per mu was far better than the average yield of 2 dan per mu in the high-yield paddy fields of the Ming Dynasty.
However, as the number of immigrants gradually increased, the food pressure became more and more severe. Food security and national defense security were equally important. Once a large-scale food crisis occurred in the ancient feudal dynasties, it was not far from a change of dynasty.
The agriculture team decided to open up another 1500 acres of Daxing Farm, so they needed more agricultural manpower. The lack of green fertilizer would be replenished by the players. The large amount of bird droppings in the South Sea Islands was an important raw material for fertilizer.
After the manpower allocation meeting ended smoothly, Wang Kaizhi stared at the Dongyi map on the table. One hand was hovering at the location of Taixi's " stupid port ", and the other hand was holding Tao Tian's small soft hand.
A powerful finger pointed at Dumb Harbor like a knife, and an undetectable sound rang in the minds of every Combat Team and Exploration Team player.
New Mission Activated: Go to Stupid Harbor
To put it simply, the 1,000 " elders " were the fake transmigrators summoned by the male protagonist through the system. Other than the fact that they did not transmigrate to the end of the Ming Dynasty, their thoughts, fertility, preferences, and so on were very similar to modern people. The only difference was that they regarded the male protagonist as their only leader.
Therefore, when reading books, one had to pay special attention to the fact that this 1,000 Yuan was always a living individual like the male lead, not a android.
