- Last year, when briquettes were transported to Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan City, and Jinzhou City, Liao Shicong became interested in briquettes, an artifact that plays a huge role in the Northeast.
Not only Liao Shicong, but all the people and sergeants in the Western Liaoning Corridor praised the briquettes.
They feel that there is nothing more important or better than briquettes in winter, and it is even more precious than food.
People who have never lived in extremely cold weather will not know how it feels to burst into tears when entering a warm room.
To be honest, he once secretly found a workshop to imitate it himself.
Because the imperial court transported briquettes, the price would rise to three cents when it arrived at Shanhaiguan, four cents when it arrived in Ningyuan City, and five cents when it arrived in Jinzhou City.
This is still the cost. If it is converted into a commercial transaction, it will be even more expensive.
" If we can produce it locally in Liaoning, it will not only save more military expenses, but also create a job opportunity for everyone. Looking at the 30,000 to 50,000 workers in Xinye and Sichuan, it would be strange for Liao Shicong not to be jealous.
But unfortunately, they can't do it.
Even if it is made with pure coal, it is not as good as other people's briquettes.
From the burning time, firepower, storage convenience, etc., they are all lagging behind.
"The cost of making one from coal is ten cents. If we make hundreds of thousands of them, it might be cheaper, but I might as well buy one from Prince Yu's Mansion for five cents."
Not only does it burn more fully, but it is also very easy to store. Even if it is covered by heavy snow, you can keep it for two days and then continue to use it after drying, and the effect will not be affected at all.
You have to admire Prince Yu¡¯s genius. He can make such magical things.
Originally, Liao Shicong gave up this idea, but now aren¡¯t there so many people in need of resettlement?
They need to be resettled, and they need to find a job to support their families, which requires a large workshop.
So the briquette workshop once again came into Liao Shicong¡¯s sight.
He was not afraid that Liu Mingqi would not agree.
Liu Mingqi had previously established a briquette workshop in Guizhou because he wanted to treat the natives of Guizhou as naturalized.
"Now the people in Liaoning who are waiting for food are our own people. According to the character of His Highness King De, he will never sit idly by and ignore it.
?The result is indeed the case.
As soon as he said this, Liu Mingqi understood and agreed readily.
This made Liao Shicong truly grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Mingqi definitely did this not to make money, but to settle these people.
"I will write a letter to my mother here and ask her to make arrangements quickly, and then try to get the people from Prince Yu's Mansion to arrive in Liaoning in half a month, and then start exploring the place to see where to build the workshop." Liu Mingqi continued, " It is now late August, or early October at the latest, and the workshop will start operating, and then it will officially begin to provide briquettes to people in two or three nearby provinces."
"good!"
Liao Shicong admires Liu Mingqi's efficiency in getting things done quickly.
He said seriously: "We have a lot of coal mines here in western Liaoning, so it must be very suitable for opening a briquette workshop! Your Highness, please rest assured, I am in charge of Chengde, and I will personally supervise and handle all matters. There will be no difficulties." and obstacles!¡±
"Um!"
The young man smiled and nodded, but didn¡¯t say much.
???????????????????? In fact, he had already made plans where to open the coal mine.
Anyone who has read history knows that the first modern joint-stock coal mine opened during the Qing Dynasty¡¯s Westernization Movement was the Kailuan Mining Bureau, which was located in Tangshan.
¡°And Chengde, where Liao Shicong is based, happens to have a Chengde coal mine.
These two coal mines are both large-scale coal mines. According to the current productivity, they will be enough for a hundred years.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of all the exploration and so on he said, are just some excuses.
"We can't tell you exactly where it is right now. It seems too hasty and lacks any sense of security."
He suddenly remembered something: "What a pity! It is said that the businessmen and residents in the Sangui Zone like briquettes very much! They were very rich before. If nothing happened, they could make a lot of money there. One stroke.¡±
"Yes, they bought a lot last year, and they liked it very much. They are planning to buy more this year." Liao Shicong also sighed one after another as he talked about it, "But this year they are in misery. Only after surviving this winter, they can sit down and buy again." Let the ship leave this sad place!"
"As long as heHand? "
"The wounded soldiers stay here and retreat with the common people. Then we will leave five thousand elite soldiers to be responsible for sniping and breaking off the rear." Fang Kaiyue said calmly, "The remaining 30,000 people are resting now. At noon Just come with me, one person and two people, and run towards Ningyuan City."
Last night¡¯s battle did not last all night. In fact, the large-scale battle ended at two or three in the morning.
And now only a small number of troops are cleaning the battlefield.
According to Fang Kaiyue, it must be the five thousand troops who are not busy leaving that are cleaning up.
The remaining 30,000 people have now rested for five or six hours and will continue to sleep until noon.
After all, in the next few days, they would first have to rush on their way, and then have to fight to the death with the enemy. This was also a rare opportunity for them to rest.
Fang Kaiyue struggled a little and had to discuss countermeasures with Liu Mingqi and the others before he could take a nap for a while.
¡°As for the wooden-handled grenades¡¡± Liu Mingqi said, ¡°Leave two thousand for the army at the rear, and you can take the rest with you!¡±
The previous inventory of wooden handle grenades in Jinzhou City was divided between Fang Kaiyue and Liu Mingjing, and Liu Mingqi only had 15,000 left.
Now it is fair to divide both sides into parts.
In the end, Ma Kun from the Yulin Guards said directly: "Your Highness, we might as well give up and let them take us all away."
Ma Kun understands that Fang Kaiyue and the others are responsible for attacking and killing the enemy. Facing more enemies will bring greater risks, and more importantly, the strategic significance is greater than his own.
Even if everyone on his side is sacrificed, it will not affect the overall situation, but if Fang Kaiyue loses, it will be a disaster.
After he spoke like this, Liu Mingqi realized that most of the troops who stayed to snipe were the Yulin Guards and Jiangnan Elites who came with them by boat.
Think about it too.
If you are not the most elite, how can you take on such an important task?
Before he could answer, Fang Kaiyue refused: "Our battle is important, aren't you important? You have to cover the retreat of 100,000 people. This is a very important responsibility! Well, Your Highness, two thousand, isn't it? Too little?"
"about there."
Liu Mingqi laughed, "They are very good at guerrilla warfare. Tonight they will go east, extend the front line to more than a hundred miles away, and slow down the enemy step by step. With this desperate method, they It¡¯s quite familiar. Unless it¡¯s absolutely necessary, there won¡¯t be a situation where you have to fight to the death!¡±
"That's good!"
Since Liu Mingqi said so, Fang Kaiyue was relieved.
From the last plan of the Yulin Guards to raid the Liaodong Peninsula, we know that Liu Mingqi is very familiar with this trick, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as elusive.
??In fact, this is also true.
The longer the battle line is stretched, the more cautious the enemy will be and not dare to be too impulsive.
After all, they don¡¯t know that the 30,000 people here have already left. Their first batch of troops will definitely not be too many, so there is no reason to advance rashly.
By then, Ma Kun and Yue Teng will be very good at this kind of harassment combat.
Especially since the battlefield happened to be the place they had been to both last time and this time.
Maybe those Shiwei coalition forces are not as familiar as them!
"In any case, the retreat speed on the port dock must be accelerated." Liao Shicong sighed. "The faster they complete it, the easier it will be for our troops to break off the rear, and it will further prevent them from going to Ningyuan City for reinforcements! Otherwise, This group of people rushed to Ningyuan City like crazy, which is a big obstacle to our strategy!"
The young man nodded in agreement.
The total number of troops now gathered in Ningyuan City is about the same as that of the Shiwei coalition.
Although Liu Mingqi also used many methods, especially emphasizing the need for coordinated operations like Jinzhou, it was really difficult to control the situation because there were too many people on both sides.
With more than 200,000 troops fighting, in fact, the advance plan could not go exactly as imagined.
What will be tested at that time is not only the strength of the armies of both sides, the control of the generals, the morale of the sergeants, etc., but also some luck.
Or rather, it¡¯s an outside move.
Liu Mingqi prepared several secret weapons.
But if this time we are frantically chased by the Shiwei coalition forces outside Jinzhou City and arrive on the battlefield, it will be extremely bad.
In order to avoid this situation, I also designed several games.
At this time, we hope that they will be as slow to react as imagined, and that they will not suddenly have a flash of inspiration and burst out a destiny that is not beyond their normal strength!
