As for the martial arts lecture hall, Chen Mu thought the name of Yuan Gongbao was very good, so he borrowed it for use.

Another reason for the low combat power of the flag army Chen Mu knew when he was in Qingyuan that the military literacy of the lower-level officers was too poor. Even at the level of 100 households, it was rare to know how to command and fight.

Without a family background, there is no learning channel. You can only slowly experience it between life and death. How inefficient is this?

But running a military academy is not an easy task. He always wanted to do it in Nanyang, but even when he left Nanyang Guard, he only limited the military academy to military academy and did not have his own independent framework, because the war in the south was not as urgent as the north, and even Zhang Han would not support him in the big and special operations.

But northern Xinjiang is different.

From emperors to ministers, they are deeply threatened by the north, and their status as generals in the north is obviously higher than that of generals in the south. For example, two officials in the north now have the title of prime minister, namely Qi Jiguang, Prime Minister of Ji Liao, and Chen Mu, Prime Minister of Xuanfu.

He is the Prime Minister of Training, and training the generals and schools is naturally his duty. This is not something that can be done by just a commander or a commander in the south, but he can.

In addition to reporting to the cabinet, he also made a small mistake in this matter. When he went straight to the palace to report the emperor's coal affairs, the internal official told Wang Chonggu's brother-in-law that he could earn 325,000 taels a year, of which 80,000 to 100,000 could be entered into the treasury. In the letters that he reported to the emperor about where the silver would be spent and what prospects they would be spent.

This prospect and the place where money is spent naturally means opening a martial arts lecture hall. It is also sent with letters. Shen Jiang paid 42,500 out of 162,500 taels in advance.

He sent thousands of family soldiers, infantry and cavalry, led by the former flag army, Long Junxiong and the former barbarian and Liao army, Xiang Fei, led by the former barbarian army, to Beijing. He thought that the carriages and horses entered the capital, and Chen Mu washed his face in the yamen. It was estimated that one hour after the carriages and horses entered the palace, the censors' scolding should have arrived.

Xiang Fei came with Bai Qi. He was the native leader of the Yongshun Baojing area. He was recruited by Bai Yuanjie. He was brave in combat and had great martial arts skills. He was sent to Chen Mu with Bai Qi. Bai Qi brought them over. Chen Mu did not let him care about the affairs of the Man Liao army anymore. He turned to lead the cavalry team that he took over from Lao Wang. This family soldier was directly led by Xiang Fei.

Chen Mu's two thousand soldiers are very simple.

Five hundred Nanyang Guard Flag Army, an army that uses the best muskets and the best artillery;

The five hundred barbarian fang army, except for fifty steel guns, all of them were cold weapons, familiar with mountain and river combat, and had a strong style, but was not familiar with muskets and cannons, and were also infantry.

Five hundred scouts cavalry were damaged by 30% in the Jumahe River. After returning to Xuanfu, they recruited troops to make up for it and equipped with all the war horses. They were neither brave enough than the Barbarian and Liao army, nor good at fighting. Compared with the above two troops, they had no advantage except running fast on four legs.

The composition of the last five hundred people was complicated. One hundred Chen Mu brought his family soldiers from the south and had little combat experience. They were Chen Mu's guards and often took on missions such as sending messages, ceremonial guards, guards, and orders. There were also four hundred people who were construction experts selected from the miners in the Battle of the Mahe River. They were considered engineers under Chen Mu and also took on baggage tasks.

The four family soldiers can form a basic combat unit and deal with various troubles on the battlefield.

Xuanfu has been in full swing recently. After the first month of the year, the frozen soil on the ground was dissolved. Construction of the Military Weapon Bureau in the Yongding River Basin southwest of Xuanfu started again. The Guan Zun team, who was supervised by chief designer Chen Mu, also arrived. According to the layout of the Xiangshan Military Weapon Bureau, the construction in the Yongding River Basin was expanded.

However, as the spring plowing approached, Junyu had to start working in farming, mainly by the engineers from the servants and the craftsmen who were in good health, and the progress was slow.

Guan Zun's troupe was not like those ordinary craftsmen. They came from ragged clothes and lost half of their lives. This was a great craftsman who was valued by General Chen. Chen Mu gave him a lot of money. He was very respected by Chen Mu since his stomach was blown away and he was very respected by Chen Mu. When he heard Chen Mu summon him in Nanyang, he came with the cannon ship that transported cannons.

I was not wronged all the way.

As soon as he arrived, he accepted the major project of the Wanquandusi Military Weapon Bureau. Guan Zun's eyes were straightened as he listened to Chen Mu's orders.

The stall of Wanquandusi Military Weapon Bureau is too big!

Compared with this, the Nanyang Guard Weapon Bureau is just a gadget. Just using labor is more than ten times more than the Nanyang Guard.

After all, Nanyang is a guard, Wanquan is Dusi.

First, we inspected the rivers along the line on the spot, moved the address seven miles north according to the flow rate, and took several craftsmen from the Nanyang Guard to rush out the composition for Chen Mu without closing their eyes for three days and three nights. Only then did we have a stable sleep.

When he woke up, he began to introduce the composition to Chen Mu in a hurry.

"The general has transferred so many craftsmen, and there are thousands of masters of all kinds, plus the military craftsmen of various garrisons, at least more than two thousand craftsmen and nearly three thousand apprentices. First, they need to repair the house. The main houses of the craftsmen are in the middle and by the river, close to the guns and cannons and armor factories."

Guan Zunban said and said with a smile: "I guess craftsmen will be a little uncomfortable. There are not many other places in the world who bring craftsmen together to do their jobs except for a few large factories and Nanyang."

Chen Mu nodded, and only the imperial court ordered the Iron Farm of Xuanhua, and some royal factories in Beijing were concentrated on craftsmen's work, while most other places were small workshop-style production. He said: "They will get used to it."

"It's a pity that the house is repaired in two batches. First, repair the riverside. If you can live in it after repairing it, the carpenter and blacksmith can start working. That's what my subordinates think."

Guan Zunban was very excited and said, "They first used the house to make small hydraulic forging hammers, drilling machines, sawing wood utensils, and first made iron and wooden parts. After one ten years, they could make bird guns for the general if they needed it, which would facilitate subsequent employment."

"The bird guns in the northern border are not in a hurry. How long will it take to start building cannons?"

"If the materials are sufficient in two months, the first batch of cannons will be built in early April. This time, I came from Nanyang to bring iron cannon molds and skilled cannons. As long as the furnace is refined and the cannons can be cast." Guan Zunban said with a simple smile: "You can build our guns and cannons in the northern border, and the pressure on the Nanyang guards will be easier. Now it is mainly to build ships and cannons, and the flag army's armor is fully equipped."

In early April, Chen Mu was very satisfied with the time and nodded, "The iron material is absolutely sufficient. Now there is no need to think about selling things for copper and iron like Cheng Ri in the past. Now we can directly adjust the iron from the Ministry of Revenue, and the mines of Dusi are also taken back, so there is no need to worry about copper and iron materials."

"That's good, that's good." Guan Zunban heard Chen Mu's bold statement that he could transfer iron from the Ministry of Revenue, shook his head and sighed, "It was so difficult in the past. I had to exchange the iron for workmanship, by the way! The general said that steaming, steam engine, my father had been working on for half a year, and now he has been moving in Nanyang."

Chen Mu directly omitted the improvement of Xiaozhiren's status and said that Lao Guan called his father in his words, widened his eyes and asked, "Win, what does it mean to turn around?"

"It's just a steam engine. The air is pushing a wheel very quickly. Didn't the general always want to use that to replace the water? It's really strong." Guan Zunban said as he pulled Chen Mu to his house, and said as he walked: "It's easy to explode. When he came, my father was thinking about how to stabilize it. I'm carrying the picture!"
