Chapter 127: Marshal Wise
"Alas" Hearing this, Marshal Zhang also sighed: "If this foreigner were to be reasonable, would he still be a foreigner? After so many years, I have finally understood that the truth that is beneficial to foreigners is the truth of foreigners. To foreigners
If the truth is unfavorable, it is not truth. To put it bluntly, the truth in this world depends on how thick the barrel of your gun is. Nowadays, if the barrel of a foreigner's gun is thick enough, it is also a truth if he farts.
Now the foreigners ask you to hand over the secret recipe. I think you might as well hand it over, but I can still keep the pharmaceutical factory here. Before the foreigners come up with the white medicine, I can still make money for two years. This can be regarded as an explanation to you."
Zhang Cheng: "Can't the commander withstand the pressure from foreigners?"
Zhang Dashuai: "It's not that easy. The Rakshasa in the north and the Japanese pirates in the east have already plotted against me in the Northeast. All I need is an excuse. Those people in the country are also careless. If I am attacked by foreign enemies, they will
They will definitely stab me in the back. Moreover, even within the Northeastern Army, we are not of the same mind."
This is true. The generals at this time may look very good on the surface, but in fact they are just a big military leader. There are many small military leaders below who are the basis of their power. The big military leader also needs to consider reputation.
As for other problems, most of these little military leaders are guys who have breasts and are mothers. It is definitely not difficult for foreigners to win over these people.
There is integrity in indulging some little military leaders, but in this deformed society, it is true that good people do not live long and bad people live for thousands of years.
Zhang Cheng persuaded: "The current situation of Marshal Zhang is very similar to that of Western Qin. At that time, Western Qin was thin and the people were poor. The west was often harassed by dogs and soldiers. The east was the huge Jin State and the Six Kingdoms. In the end, it was the sixth generation of the Qin Dynasty.
Yu Lie, vigorously pursue his strategy to conquer Yunei, swallowing up the princes for two weeks. If Marshal Zhang can withstand the foreigners today, and even avenge the national humiliation, and then clean up the interior and develop the economy, countless heroes will naturally come to join him. Why worry about not being able to do so in the future?
Dominate the world."
Zhang Dashuai had long been tired of hearing these words and knocked on the table: "I am informing you now, not asking you to teach me how to do things!"
"Alas." Zhang Cheng also sighed, and then said to himself: "Originally, I wanted to show you a clear path, but how can I put it, warlords are warlords, and they value immediate interests more. Since you don't want to
To save the country and the people, I will do whatever it takes and do it well."
As Zhang Cheng spoke, he raised his finger and said, "That's right!"
Everyone in the room fainted in just one sentence, including the handsome guards.
Zhang Cheng greeted Lu'er's clone and threw Dashuai Zhang into the peach garden to make flower fertilizer.
Then Zhang Cheng's body swayed and turned into Marshal Zhang, sitting on Marshal's chair.
Lu'er's clone changed into Zhang Cheng's appearance. After everyone woke up, the two had a friendly and pleasant conversation for a while before Lu'er's clone said goodbye and left.
On this day, the Marshal's Mansion announced to the public that Zhang Dashuai had recognized Zhang Cheng as his godson, and the two were a family. From now on, the property of Dongfang Shengcheng Pharmaceutical Factory will also be the property of the Marshal's Mansion. Who dares to do so among relevant Chinese and foreign people?
For Dongfang Shengcheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., those who stretched out their hands would cut off their hands, and those who stretched out their legs would chop off their legs.
Zhang Cheng also reciprocated the favor and deposited all the cash and turnover of Dongfang Shengcheng Pharmaceutical Factory into the Fengxi Bank directly under the jurisdiction of the Marshal's Mansion.
Moreover, after paying the 15% corporate tax, Dongfang Shengcheng Pharmaceutical Factory will also send half of the dividends to the account of the Marshal's Mansion - in fact, it is the left hand and the right hand. How can we raise troops without money? The Northeast Army has hundreds of thousands
People are pointing at the Marshal's Mansion for dinner.
As for Zhang Dashuai's inner house, Zhang Dashuai's wife died early, leaving more than 20 young and beautiful concubines, Zhang Chengyi took over it - Zhang Dashuai was originally a lustful person, but suddenly he became stoic, which would not arouse suspicion.
Even in order to maintain Zhang Dashuai's character in the future, he would have to bring a few concubines into the back house.
Is it just a commander? It's not as simple as running a business and opening a pharmaceutical factory. People from all walks of life come to your door all day long, including relatives seeking official positions, foreigners putting pressure on you, and subordinates asking for pay. In a word, he has a big brain.
I had known for a long time that being a commander was not so easy, but I didn’t expect that I would be troubled all day long. No wonder not many commanders are good-tempered.
Zhang Cheng first withstood the pressure from the foreigners, and all the foreign envoys disappeared. They were here to greet them anyway, so they had to call earlier.
There are now more than 300,000 Northeastern troops, tens of thousands of police, guns and cannons, and their own military factories. The navy also has a certain scale and combat effectiveness, although they are all old-fashioned destroyers, light cruisers, torpedo boats, etc.
But we finally have a navy. Aircraft have arrived from foreign countries, and airports and flight schools are also under construction. The Northeast Army already has the navy, army and air force, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Although the navy and air force of the Northeast Army are now a bit weaker, the problem of whether they have them or not has been solved. Can they at least be used to cultivate naval and air force talents?
Most of the relatives who come to seek official positions are the kind that cannot be reached. They have distant relatives who are rich in the mountains, let alone those who are rich in the Marshal's Mansion.
Zhang Cheng asked his subordinates to pay some travel expenses for such people and send them back. They should do whatever they have to do.
It is normal for warlords to be in arrears with military pay when their subordinates want it. It is said that warlords with money printing machines can print as many silver coins as they want, but in fact it is not that simple.
The troops of the warlords are also divided into those near and far. For example, Marshal Zhang's troops never default on their military pay. They can receive troops from across the ocean on time every month. He also has one under his command, which is Marshal Zhang's guard brigade.
There are more than 5,000 people in this security brigade. The personnel are all excellent young men who have been selected from the best and have received more than three years of military training. Each person's weapons and equipment are equipped with machine guns and pistols. At the battalion level, there are also Maxim heavy machine guns at their service.
, the regiment level is equipped with mortars, and the guard brigade is responsible for protecting the safety of Marshal Zhang and the entire Marshal's residence. The safety of Marshal Zhang's travel also relies on this guard brigade.
The next level is the subordinates of the old brothers who fought with Marshal Zhang, and the next level is the troops of other warlords who later took refuge and were recruited during the war.
It can be divided into three levels simply. If it is subdivided, it can be divided into nine levels.
In short, troops close to you always have the best equipment, good supplies and timely pay. For troops farther away, it is normal to be in arrears of pay from time to time. For troops farther away, it is enough to not starve to death in peacetime. During a war,
Pay a arrears and let them take the lead.
Warlords or not, everyone does this.
Therefore, in order to maintain his character, those who owe wages will continue to owe them. Anyway, they are not owed for a day or two. Zhang Cheng's current task is to reform the Fengxian Bank.
Zhang Cheng's reform of the Fengxian Bank was to simply cancel the gold yuan coupons, which is a bad name. The silver yuan coupons will not be canceled for the time being, but currency reform is still necessary.
Zhang Cheng's plan was to use the previous exchange rate, which was the ratio of one silver dollar to one thousand silver dollar bonds, to print new silver dollar bonds. The Fengxian Bank would exchange the new silver dollar bonds for silver dollars, but the ratio would be one thousand to one.
Exchange them with old silver dollar certificates on a one-to-one basis.
Acknowledging that the silver dollar notes have depreciated, Zhang Cheng has no choice but to do it. It was all the abuse caused by Marshal Zhang in the past.
As for whether someone will go to the bank to exchange silver dollar certificates for a large amount of silver dollars, there is no need to worry about this. Northeast China is now considered a relatively stable area in the country, and no one will exchange a large amount of silver dollars and flee.
Moreover, Zhang Cheng also has an idea, which is to make public the names and addresses of a large number of people who exchanged silver dollars and gold from banks - it depends on whether you are afraid or not.
The bandits snatched a bunch of bankbooks, money orders, and bonds and it was useless to take them back, but gold and silver were good things that were easy to carry and spend.
This trick is a bit damaging, but it works.
As soon as this strategy came out, some old bankers called him wise.
At the same time as the bank was reforming, Zhang Cheng personally took charge of the security brigade and set up a martial arts hall. Those who were illiterate went to learn how to read first. Those who were already literate began to study various combat lectures, analyze battle cases, and military chess deductions with the commander every day.
.as well as the fighting methods and prevention methods of special forces are all part of the lectures. Military exercises are held from time to time.
As for the large-corps fighting that non-commissioned officers and mid-level and low-ranking officers like most, it is not mentioned at all, and even if it is mentioned, they will not be able to use it for the time being.
After the Fengxi Bank completed the currency reform, Zhang Cheng's first batch of martial arts hall trainees also completed their training.
Now that the training is over, we have to find a new position for them.
Where is this person? Of course he is in the Northeastern Army.
After completing the currency reform, all the Northeastern Army received full military pay for the first time. Although it was still silver dollar coupons, it was new silver dollar coupons that could be exchanged for silver dollars.
At least there is no problem in exchanging small amounts.
The maximum face value of the new silver dollar certificate is five hundred yuan, equivalent to half an ocean, and the minimum face value is one yuan, equivalent to the previous 1 cent. Such new silver dollar certificate can be regarded as a kind of auxiliary currency.
In this way, prices in society quickly stabilized. After all, there are silver dollars and gold as support. Because countries are rushing to buy oriental magic medicine, Fengxian banks have recently invested a large amount of gold and silver.
The first batch of trainees from these martial arts halls were directly transferred to serve as adjutants in the various units of the Feng clan, and then the chief officers of each unit were transferred to the Marshal's Mansion by Zhang Cheng to participate in the second batch of officer training.
Without people in the army, the army can easily be controlled by the new adjutant. As for when the second batch of old-style officers will graduate, isn't it Zhang Cheng, the principal, who has the final say?
Of course, we must choose those who are loyal and have national integrity, and put some of them back to continue to be the chief officers of the army.
Anyway, in one sentence, those who Zhang Cheng feels are incompetent will never have the opportunity to lead troops in the Feng Dynasty again in this life.
Moreover, as the officers who have graduated from the Jiangwu Hall continue to be rotated into the current army chief officers, the hundreds of thousands of Fengjun troops will soon fall under Zhang Cheng's control.
Zhang Cheng: I am really a genius! Hahahahahaha!
As for the think tanks below, they also expressed their admiration for the commander-in-chief's tactic of taking control of the troops: "The commander-in-chief is wise!"
As for the troops below, as soon as the new commander came up, they started to pay their salaries in full without any arrears. This kind of good life has never happened before, which made everyone feel that it would be good to change the leadership. At least now everyone is the direct descendant of the commander.
There are people and horses.
When new officers who were born in the martial arts hall go down, they will start with basic military training. After the old and weak are eliminated, they will be assigned a good job in Dongfang Shengcheng Pharmaceutical Factory or other companies of Dongfang Sheng Group, which can at least support their families.
In just a few months, through troop training and roster counting, the Feng Clan reduced the number of troops from the previous 370,000 to 250,000. More than half of them were paid by the warlords, right?
Earning empty pay has become the norm. A small number of them are unqualified personnel who have been laid off - such as double-gun soldiers who smoke heavy smoke, which Zhang Cheng absolutely does not want.
In the warlord army, double spearmen are a normal phenomenon.
After that, Zhang Cheng launched a comprehensive anti-drug campaign in the Northeast territory of the Feng Clan. All opium dens were closed and all those who opened opium dens were arrested and their homes raided. As for the poppies grown by farmers, they were all purchased at a unified price. This opium poppy can actually be used medicinally.
For example, morphine is extracted to relieve pain. It is absolutely no problem to keep this in the army.
Because the backstage of these opium den owners are all in Zhang Cheng's martial arts hall at this time. If they want to support these people, they don't have the army.
After becoming the commander-in-chief, industrial development began to be put on the agenda. The first was the synthetic ammonia plant, also known as the fertilizer plant. The by-product was soda ash. Soda ash has many functions in chemistry. Three acids and two alkali are the basis of chemistry. In the northern region
To steam steamed buns, the demand for soda ash is not small.
As for another by-product of the synthetic ammonia plant, liquid oxygen is also used by Zhang Cheng in the new open-hearth steelmaking plant - it is still a little early to start blast furnace steelmaking. Moreover, blast furnace steelmaking requires a relatively high purity of iron ore.
High-quality iron ore needs to be imported from Brazil and Australia. Although domestic iron ore production is high, the quality is low and is more suitable for open-hearth steelmaking.
High-quality steel is produced by the new electric furnace steelmaking plant built in the Northeast under the leadership of Zhang Cheng. Nuclear fusion power is directly used here. A nuclear fusion power plant brings power to a large city in this era and several large electric furnaces.
Steelmaking companies have no problems.
Because the nuclear fusion power plant built by nanorobots is basically cost-free, and the maintenance is also completed by nanorobots. After the nuclear fusion power plant was built and the power grid to the city was laid, the Marshal's Office issued an order that from now on, all electricity for civilian use will be free.
On both sides of the road, high-wattage street light poles that are lit every night are also erected.
At this time, the civilian electrical appliances were electric lamps. The Dongfangsheng Electric Light Factory in Zhangcheng directly produced new technology LED lamps, which had high brightness, few faults, and were very affordable. At least working-class families could afford a medium-sized lamp with a silver dollar coupon of more than ten yuan.
Wattage light bulb.
For a time, the whole city cheered: Marshal is wise.
After the street lights were installed in the city, they also extended to the outside of the city along with the newly constructed highways.
The project to provide electricity and roads to every village still needs to be done, even if it takes decades, it doesn't matter.
In Zhang Cheng's view, the situation in Northeast China is not a small good, but a great good.
But things are indeed turbulent outside.
Because Marshal Zhang had been refusing to meet the foreigners who came to yell at him, the foreigners gathered and prepared to give Marshal Zhang a show of humour, who no longer knew how high the sky was.
