Ma Qianzhu drafted documents under the lamp:
Document No. 31 of the Planning Commission 1628: Regarding the requirements for the formation of the army, military production and material allocation.
Secret level: Confidential
1. Instruct the military industry department to immediately estimate the material and manpower requirements for the following projects
1. Start training 500 new troops within a week. Among them, there are 3o travelers. Therefore, the parts of existing Mini rifles were immediately assembled into finished weapons. The first batch of 35o guns is expected. In addition, the military industry department provided five 6-pound smoothbore guns and four 12-pound howitzers.
During the training period, each gun fires twice a day and each musket fires 1o times. Estimate its ammunition consumption and produce ammunition for the 6-month training.
2. After 6 months, the army will be expanded to 1,000 people. The training intensity will remain unchanged. All guns and artillery will be equipped and ammunition will be produced. There are 1,000 guns and 1,000 cannons in service (including naval ships and fortress artillery, and 1,000% of the reserves are being replaced in the warehouse. Manpower is arranged to repair the guns.
3. It is estimated that a battle will consume 6o of shells per gun and 5o of ammunition per gun. In addition to training, ammunition required for at least two battles is stored and included in the production plan.
4. We need 1,000 sets of military uniforms (including underwear and equipment, fabrics, and leather in stock. We need to find a pattern maker or someone with clothing production experience in the traverser. Batch processing can be handed over to the commune clothing factory.
5. Estimate the food needed for 1,000 new troops to fight.
2. Preparing to build a school for military and political cadres
1. It is divided into two classes, Class A and Class B. Class A is for local adults with a certain cultural foundation, and Class B is for teenagers. The personnel include children and adolescents who have completed quarantine. Meals are provided according to the level of the travelers. The logistics department provides the necessary increased supplies of grain, meat, and salt.
2. The construction department considers the school location and project materials and labor estimates.
3. Progress of the Chemical Industry Department
1. The chemical industry department should propose the completion progress of three major chemical plants: coal tar plant, 800-ton synthetic ammonia plant and salt electrolysis plant.
2. If the factory manufacturing method cannot be used, is there any alternative process that can produce acid and alkali, and a list of required raw materials, equipment and energy.
3. Provide a report on which explosives and pyrotechnics can be manufactured on a large scale. The focus is on black powder, nitrocellulose, mercury fulminate and **.
4. Trade
1. Mainly focusing on glassware, it is best for the Industrial Committee to set up a light industry department to take charge of this matter. The first batch of products are mainly glass mirrors and wine bottles (ordered from Guangzhou).
2. The second-hand tobacco has been purchased in Guangzhou and can be made into cigarettes. The industrial department will open cigarette papers as soon as possible.
3. The Guangzhou Advance Station has repeatedly raised concerns about insufficient transportation capacity and a large backlog of various purchased materials. The original plan was to purchase 2 to 3 ships locally in Guangzhou for transportation and hire sailors from the local area. However, recently the government has been seizing foreign ships and preparing for naval battles, so shipyards everywhere are not building new ships. It is hoped that the executive committee can quickly purchase 1 or 2 ships.
…
Ma Qianzhu's report was written until late at night, and all the details from various departments were finally summarized in the Planning Committee. Ultimately, the planning committee is responsible for coordinating operations. As the stall gets bigger and bigger, and there are more and more ideas and plans, the originally very streamlined organization now seems to have to make some adjustments to adapt to this situation.
He thought over and over again. First, the intelligence department and the public security department needed to be integrated. The current intelligence department basically looked through piles of old papers to search for information, and the actual intelligence collection was not enough. The remote investigation team is limited by the conditions. So far, it has only extended its investigation scope to Linxian County. The situation in Fucheng is still unclear. Moreover, the remote investigation team is more like a resource investigation team. In order to understand the resource situation, it often has to mix various professionals, which limits the However, the military and political situation was not collected enough. Now the General Staff has established a Military Intelligence Department, which is a good start. In the future, the reconnaissance team and the survey team will be separated. As the situation in Guangzhou slowly opens up, Leizhou's intelligence and business system will also be gradually established, and then penetrate into Qiongzhou's capital city. Ma Qianzhu in other counties thought it was irrelevant. Once they broke up with Ming Dynasty, they could just take them without any intelligence team infiltration in advance.
He made himself a cup of tea. The tea was something seized from Goujiazhuang. Lingao did not produce tea. In a time and space without soda, everyone's demand for tea increased greatly. In fact, soda is not a rare thing. Ma Qianzhu spent his childhood in the family area of a large state-owned enterprise. That kind of state-owned enterprise basically takes care of everything from birth to death except for the cemetery. Even soda is the factory's own. When Ma Qianzhu was a child, he admired that magical machine extremely. Later, when he grew up and studied it, he realized that it did not have much technical content.
"I can even make Coca-Cola." He couldn't help but mutter to himself, thinking of the coca trees in the Nanhai Farm. Isn't Coke just a mixture of caramel, coca extract and soda?
"Coke? You didn't bet on this, right?" A man's voice came from outside the door.
"Having learned a painful lesson before, who would dare to bet on Coke? Sit down and drink tea?" Ma Qianzhu stood up and poured water for him - one of the benefits of being a cadre is that there is a thermos bottle in the office, although the aluminum shell thermos bottle He was about the same age as Ma Qianzhu, and the words "Fengcheng Lun" were painted in red paint on it.
The person who came here was in his early thirties, not yet forty, with a wide body and a fat body. His movements seemed slow, but in fact his movements were nimble. His appearance was not surprising. He was a person who would never be remembered after meeting him once.
"You are a rare guest here. I haven't seen you since the D-day."
The visitor said calmly: "You are the executive committee member. I always come to you to find out what to do. You have to avoid suspicion."
"Pull him down, let's be honest: what's your intention of avoiding suspicion like this?"
"I heard that you are planning to start a war with Zhu Cai Lao?" The man changed the subject.
"It's not about starting a war, it's about preparing for war. We have to guard against him coming to fight. Now the situation is so big that we can't do it without an army."
"Zhu Cai Lao is just a declining force in the Xishan Mountains. The biggest threat to the Crossing Group at present -" the man said, "The first is the Ming Dynasty. It is already after the beginning of winter, and the autumn grain collection has been completed. Not to mention the Ming army in Guangdong, Apocalypse The money in the vassal treasury has been wasted in the year, but the garrison in Qiongzhou has the responsibility to defend the territory, and it will come once out of ten. The second is Zheng Zhilong, who has now been recruited and became a guerrilla, and is preparing to send his former partners to Kill them all and dominate the southeast sea trade."
"did you mean?"
"Zhucai is always a united force."
"United Pirates?"
"That's right," the man said slowly, "the sea force of the Crossing Group is so weak. No matter how powerful the fishing boats are, there are only four. There is no local force at sea as an ally. Soon you will face a choice: either you have to be obedient and surrender to protection. Fei, or have a big fight with the heroes from all over the sea. Haven't you always wanted to get in touch with Liu Laoxiang? In fact, Zhu Cailao's power is not bad, and he is weaker than Liu Xiang. Zheng Zhilong also wants to deal with him. This person is surrounded by enemies and will be easier to cooperate with. By the way, in the official history, he will KO Zheng Zhilong in Min'an in August next year."
"The executive committee has also thought about it, but we killed his family and took away more than 100,000 taels of his goods. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cooperate."
The man smiled confidently, "In Mr. Zhu Cai's current situation, I'm afraid the offer won't be much higher. Don't you have some rare goods? Give him the right to sell them, and he will naturally agree."
Ma Qianzhu pondered, he had thought about this proposal, but he really felt a little unsure. People who robbed people of their money and killed them, are they going to unite now if they just want to unite? Mr. Zhu Cai won't be so easy to talk to, right?
"No matter how difficult it is for him to speak, he still needs to deal with urgent needs."
"Okay, let me give it a try. Anyway, I won't lose anything if we can't talk."
"With Poland, Stalin and Hitler can also shake hands and have fun." As he said that, the man slowly stood up and walked slowly outside.
"Are you really unwilling to serve on the executive committee?" Ma Qianzhu felt it was a pity. "The intelligence department is short of manpower."
"It's not time yet." When the man went out, he looked up at the starry sky.
Ma Qianzhu was speechless that night and summoned the executive committee members the next day. After talking about this idea, the Executive Committee had different opinions on it. Most people were not opposed to peace talks with Mr. Zhu Cai. After all, it would not be good for anyone to die in a battle - but they doubted whether such peace talks were possible, and some People are deeply afraid of making too many concessions in the peace talks and damaging the prestige and interests of the Chuanchuan Group. After repeated discussions, we finally decided to give it a try. Regardless of whether the peace talks are successful or not, army building and preparation for war must continue - "Speak kindly and hold a big stick."
Ma Qianzhu asked Dugu to propose and bring the pirate leader who was currently undergoing labor reform at the Dongmen City paving site. Not long after, Dugu proposed and brought back two captives. The two men were very panicked when they saw the short-haired leader, thinking that they were going to be stabbed, so Ma Qianzhu asked them to comfort them.
One of the leaders was named Black-faced Jiao Shi Shishi. He was the leader of one of the ships, equivalent to the captain. After he was captured, he was very happy and told everything he knew clearly. Ma Qianzhu knew from the interrogation records that this man was quite loyal and had some reputation among this group of thieves.
Ma Qianxu said: "We are the overseas survivors of the Song Dynasty. We are returning to the Ming Dynasty this time. We are resting in Lingao. We are not in conflict with your tribe, so why did you attack my subordinates? What is the rationale for killing my tribe?"
When Shi Shishi heard that Ma Qianxu didn't seem to want to take his life, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and said hurriedly: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. We have some business relationships with the Gou family. A few days ago, a close associate of the Gou family came to see me. He cried and complained, saying that his master was killed by you and others for no reason, and that you and others committed rape, robbery, and all kinds of evil. I was so indignant that I forced myself to stand up. The head of my family had nothing to do with it. Now it seems that they are all those shameless bandits. Spreading rumors will cause trouble, and when I return to the camp, I will cut them into pieces and then I can get rid of the evil spirit in my chest."
The so-called close relatives of the Gou family coming to cry and complain is naturally nonsense, but at this time, the black-faced dragon just wants to follow Ma Qianzhu's words and completely remove his own responsibility.
When Ma Qianzhu heard the words "committing adultery, robbery, and all kinds of evil", he couldn't help but smile to himself: You are qualified to criticize us. But he said: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Let me prepare a small gift to express my apology, and then send my brother back. It's just that all three of your ships sank. Why don't you wait for us to buy a small ship to send you off?"
Shi Shishi heard that he could go back, but he felt that the days were like years - Fu Youdi was really unambiguous in torturing people. They had not eaten enough in the past few days, and they had eaten countless canes. I don't want to delay my trip any more. He quickly said: "Even if it is a misunderstanding, I have done something wrong to your department, so everyone should be exempted from this apology. I am strong, I don't have a boat, I can walk or take a fishing boat, and I have something urgent at home, so I can't delay it." .”
Ma Qianzhu smiled slightly and said: "Brother, don't worry. I have heard for a long time that the great masters are generous and righteous, so I often go to visit them when I get the opportunity. When I prepare a generous gift for the great master, please introduce me to him. , Don’t refuse. Please sit down for a moment and I’ll be back as soon as I can.” After saying that, Ma Qianzhu motioned to Dugu to keep an eye on this person and then transferred to the office to report to the committee.
The executive committee plans to send some gifts to Mr. Zhu Cai to show goodwill, and then negotiate for maritime trade cooperation. At the beginning, some plastic flowers and glass handicrafts were prepared. Hu Hou, who was standing guard next to him, saw this and persuaded him: "If you have wealth, don't show it to others. If we appear to be rich like bandits, we will undoubtedly attract wolves into the house, and we will never have peace." Everyone heard what he said. Being reasonable, he only prepared two glass mirrors and ten pieces of silk and satin, which were already common items, and gave Shi Shishi Yajing another ten taels of silver.
Ma Qianzhu thought about selling glass again and hurriedly asked the Ministry of Industry to prepare samples. Zhan Wuya spread his hands: "I've reported it for several days, but the furnace hasn't been built for me yet. Where can I make a sample? Why don't I just tear a piece off the holy ship and give it to him."
Ma Qianzhu had no choice but to have someone pick up a large piece of broken glass from the holy ship. He gave it to Shi Shishi and said, "We are good at making this thing. Please tell the bosses if you can sell it for export on our behalf. Everything is easy to discuss." ." Shi Shishi just asked to get on the boat as soon as possible and immediately agreed.
