Chapter 131: The Black Flag of the First Rebel Army
"In nine years of compulsory education, we waive children's tuition fees, and even provide children with school uniforms to manage their children's food and accommodation. We only require one point. During these nine years, parents are absolutely not allowed to take their children away and let their children drop out of school!"
After Hong Yun made these two requests, everyone present looked at each other.
It’s not because Hong Yun’s requirements are too high, but because Hong Yun’s requirements are a bit too incredible.
For a time, both the village chief and the clan elders, including Hong Xiguan and Ma Shanren, kept whispering and discussing the purpose of Hong Yun's doing this.
After a long time, the village chief combined everyone's opinions and then clasped his fists at Hong Yun with a smile.
"Mr. Hong, what you said is, whether it is building factories or schools, it is for us people. To be honest, although I have no education, I also know some historical allusions."
"Looking at the history of China, this is the first time I have met you, like Grand Marshal, who is considering the people wholeheartedly. You are truly the wise ruler of China!"
The compliments from the village seemed to be open, and other clan elders also bowed to pay tribute.
"The village chief is right. Dashuai, you built a factory, brought the jobs for the people in our village, and also established schools so that we poor children can also read the books of sages. This is simply a great thing. It is the act of a saint. Who will stop such a thing and who dares to stop it?"
"Yes, I think who dares to say no, who dares to obstruct this matter. I immediately broke his leg and expelled from our Hongxiguan Village!"
Good guy, before the matter was completely discussed, these tribe elders shouted so easily at Hongxiguancun.
Hong Xiguan, who was standing beside him, felt his face turn red.
Although he knew these people had good intentions, after all, he felt that he was a little guilty of everything. He just saw that Hong Yun did not object, and he couldn't say anything.
"Okay, since you don't object, then this matter has been decided. As for the others, we will talk about them later."
After saying that, Hong Yun picked up the teacup and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.
After seeing this, everyone nodded.
They came here to express their supportive attitude.
Now, the attitude has been expressed, and I have also received so many benefits from Hong Yun that I dare not think about. The group stood up happily and said goodbye to leave.
After seeing these people off, Hong Yun turned around and looked at Hong Xiguan and others: "Xiguan, you can bring these people from the Iron Blood Youth League with you, plus those young and middle-aged people in the village, as the preliminary structure of our Black Flag Army."
That's right, this rebel army was first launched and was once again named the Black Flag Army by Hong Yun.
He couldn't think of a very good name for a while, and he was too lazy to think about it. If there were ready-made ones, it would be just used, and it was quite suitable.
Water conserves all things without fighting, and Xuanshui is black. The meaning of the Black Flag Army is to benefit the people of the world, so it is appropriate.
"Yes, lord, don't worry, if you leave the Black Flag Army to me, Xi Guan will do his best to train them into the most elite troops in the world."
Official Hong Xi immediately issued a military order to Hong Yun and made a guarantee.
"Don't be too anxious. I have a training plan here. See if it can be integrated into your training plan."
As he spoke, he handed a training plan to Hong Xiguan.
Hong Yun has never participated in the army, but after all, he has received military training and has also watched a lot of military dramas on TV, especially TV series such as special forces.
I also know more about modern training.
Moreover, after he built his own arsenal in the future, he would definitely build this Black Flag Army into a modern team, so he wrote down all the things he knew.
As for how much can be used and how to use it, it is Hong Xiguan’s business.
Hong Yun believed that with this information, Hong Xiguan should be able to do better.
"Master, this..."
After Hong Xiguan took it, he just took a brief look and couldn't open his eyes.
Many of the things written on it were really beyond his expectations, and even made him feel that this information would be a divine book for the generals of this era.
"Don't be so surprised. I'm not particularly clear about some things. I can only write a general idea for you. Take them back and study them slowly and think carefully. We will only start everything, so don't worry."
"Yes, lord, don't worry, with this military book in hand, Xi Guan will definitely be able to build the Black Flag Army into an unparalleled elite!"
After Hong Xiguan left confidently, Hong Yun turned his attention to Ma Shanren.
"Mr. Ma, how is the construction of the factory?"
"Master, just call me Lao Ma in the future. I really don't dare to be the word "Master". According to your drawings, the houses have been almost built, and there are also small factories that make cement. They have already been built first, but..."
Speaking of this, Ma Shanren hesitated for a moment. After Hong Yun signaled not to worry, he continued to speak: "But, because of the secret, the cement output has not been raised. Apart from the textile factory, it is not enough."
"The location of the arsenal has been found at the foot of the mountain. It is very hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unfortunately, the cement production is insufficient and it is impossible to start construction."
Shanren Ma did not hide it and told all the difficulties.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Just build the factory. As for the arsenal, there is no need to worry about it for the time being. Starting today, we will increase the cement production first and expand the cement factory. I will say hello to Xiguan and send someone to supervise it."
So far, the biggest obstacle for Hong Yun’s plan is the lack of electricity.
Although Hong Yun's storage space has a lot of modern equipment and even a generator.
But if the textile factory was put into use now, a generator would not be enough, and if the arsenal was built, the generator would not be able to be carried.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to expand the cement factory first and establish a complete sales channel, and then recruit some Western missionaries to come and ask them to help study the generator.
In addition, oil is also a difficult situation. After coming here, when all the plans began to be implemented, Hong Yun realized that he had neglected too much.
In this era, there was no oil, or in other words, the kind of oil without modernization. How to refine the so-called "hard tincture oil" of this era into the kind that can be used in machines is also a technical difficulty.
After Hong Yun rode a horse with Ma Shanren to the factory, he found that the construction was really good. All the construction styles were completely based on his drawings and were very modern.
I took out some equipment in the storage space, first I simply formed a workshop, and found a few women who had experience in textiles to come over. After Hong Yun taught for a while, he could get started.
Although there is currently insufficient resources, only one generator, and not much gasoline in hand, it is not a big problem to meet the construction of this workshop for several months.
"Old Ma, you have a great responsibility in the future. You can find a smart and reliable person to manage the construction of the factory. I am here to take charge, and with the help of Xiguan, there will be no big problems."
"You need to bring some finished textile products to the state capital and find ways to contact some foreigners. I believe they should be interested."
"No matter whether the transaction can be reached or not, we must find some foreign missionaries to come over and hire them at a high price, but we must understand mathematics, which is the so-called arithmetic. If anyone knows Galileo's theory, it would be better."
After saying that, Hong Yun took out two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the storage space and handed them over to Ma Shanren.
"These treasures are used here, and I believe his master will be very happy to know."
When Hong Yun saw these wealth, he smiled slightly. The treasure of heaven was finally used in the great cause of anti-Qing, which was considered to be a perfect use of everything.
"Okay, lord, don't worry, this little thing is easy, I can definitely do it well."
Shanren Ma nodded, took the finished product made by several women, his face full of confident smiles, waved his hand to greet his confidant servants, and took a carriage to the state capital.
After watching Ma Shanren leave, Hong Yun directly sat in the factory himself, not afraid of ten thousand, but fear of anything.
In addition, the Black Flag Army's barracks were placed next to the factory.
While training, patrol took turns.
Fortunately, the factory is not big now, and the one that is actually operating is the cement factory next to it that is being expanded.
Therefore, having more than a dozen patrols is enough to ensure the safety of both sides.
After doing this, Hong Yun basically got idle and meditated and practiced in the factory every day.
Hongdou, who is bored in the mansion every day, is full of dissatisfaction.
Originally, Hong Yun promised her that after coming to Guangzhou, she would accompany her to go shopping.
As a result, when I came here, I could see Hong Yun at the beginning, and I knew he was busy.
Later, after Hong Yun went to the factory, he simply couldn't even see the shadow of a person.
This made Hongdou feel so depressed. If it weren't for fear of Hong Yun's concern, she would really want to sneak out to play for a few days.
Waiting around, until her patience was about to disappear. When she woke up early that day, Hongdou finished her breakfast listlessly. She was really out of patience and planned to go out by herself and see the scenery around her.
However, when she had just walked to the door and had not had time to open the door, suddenly there was a burst of rapid footsteps outside.
Slap...
With a knock on the door, Hongdou immediately opened the door and looked up and saw that it was Hong Yun standing outside.
"Ajun, are you back? This is..."
Just as I was about to ask a few more questions, I looked carefully and found that behind Hong Yun, the more than a dozen members of the Iron Blood Youth League and more than 30 young men were all sternly lying on their faces.
Moreover, everyone held weapons and was armed all in the arms. You could tell at a glance that something big happened.
Chapter completed!
