Chapter 1123 Luo Chong's Seven Orders
It doesn't matter if you don't know the specific situation, as long as you know where it is.
After learning the location of the road construction team, Luo Chong immediately wrote an order and ordered someone to send it to You Fu by flying eagle.
The content of the order is roughly as follows:
First, the railway construction team is divided into two, and from now on it is temporarily divided into Team One and Team Two.
Second, Railway Team One continues to follow You Fu to open up the Qitai Railway, which is the railway from Qi'an County to Taigang County;
Third, Railway Team Two is transferred to Tangcheng County to open up the Tangpan Line, that is, the railway from Tangcheng County to Panshi County.
After this order was issued, Luo Chong immediately wrote several more orders and had them all sent out.
One of them was sent to the Qiongzhou Governor's Office, ordering the Leopard Tao Guards among the six guards under the jurisdiction of Qiongzhou Grand Governor Yang Feng to immediately withdraw from the active service sequence upon receiving the order. All 2,500 officers and soldiers of the Leopard Tao Guards were reorganized into the First Railway Corps on the spot.
All officers and soldiers of the First Regiment of the Railway Corps were immediately shipped to Takumi County. After the reorganization in Takumi County was completed, they were divided into two and supplemented into the First and Second Railway Teams
. The Han tribe now has more advanced firearms, so all active troops will be reorganized into hot weapon troops.
The Baotaowei Guard is a bit special. This was when the Han tribe attacked Zhudao because of its own lack of troops. The mercenaries hired from the Tang tribe were
recruited. When recruiting these soldiers, Luo Chong promised the chiefs of the Tang tribe that these soldiers would only be used for three years, and those who died in battle would be compensated according to the Han tribe's regular army standards.
Now that three years have passed, the Han tribe is about to reform its military and is about to reduce its military. These soldiers will eventually be sent home.
It happened that the Han tribe was engaged in large-scale railway construction, and the railway construction team was short of people, so Luo Chong simply divided the construction team into two, with the original construction team members as technical backbones, and the retired Baotaowei added in, so he had two construction teams, and the scale of the two teams was no smaller than the original.
After three years of military service, although these people have not fought much, they are still obedient to orders. If these people are added to the railway construction team, they will learn quickly and be more efficient.
Although they were not directly retired and sent home, this is to build a railway for their hometown, and the soldiers will not be too resistant. After all, even if they are working, they are working at their doorstep.
After the completion of these two railways, these people will be given a long vacation and allowed to return to their hometowns for a period of time. Those who are willing to retire will be sent back to work or farm, and those who are unwilling to retire will continue to work with the road construction team.
Of course, if you want to keep people, you have to be willing to invest. In the future, the road construction team will be reorganized again. At that time, it will be full of technical personnel and backbone members, and the treatment will be improved accordingly.
However, these two orders alone are not enough. If you want to provide building materials to the capital as soon as possible, other support is needed.
So Luo Chong also wrote a letter of order to the governor of Jiahai County, Zhuping. Zhuping was once the elder in charge of construction of the Xin tribe. After the demise of the Xin tribe, Luo Chong made him a county governor with a plaque, but in fact, he was not in charge of government affairs at all. What he was really responsible for was to build the cross-sea bridge.
At the beginning of this year, Qubing led the Shen Ce Guard to attack the cannibals and won. A large number of cannibal slaves were sent back from the north. Luo Chong divided these slaves according to gender, age and young. All the young slaves were sent to Youfu to cultivate the land, and all the old slaves were approved to the construction site on the other side of the cross-sea bridge.
So many slaves were sent over, which could replace the large number of Xin tribe prisoners of war who were originally mining rocks. These people were prisoners of war, but not slaves, unlike those of the cannibals. Luo Chong planned to give them household registration in the future and let them go home to farm and have children.
But now
he directly sent an order to Chikuhira, asking him to immediately select a thousand prisoners of war and send them to Takumi County by ship, and then send them to Panshi County to mine marble and provide a large amount of building materials for the construction of the capital.
Luo Chong had promised You Zhi that he would deliver the building materials to him in the early spring of next year, especially the various stones.
Although there was no railway now, the stones could not be transported there at all, but he could send people to mine them first. When the railway was laid, they could be loaded and sent away immediately to save time.
As soon as these orders were issued, the road construction team was immediately assigned, and the quarry in Panshi County also had people who could be asked to work first. Now the only problem was logistics.
Therefore, Luo Chong sent the last two orders to the Comprehensive Research Institute on Huxin Island and Dali in Xingang County.
The order to the Comprehensive Research Institute was to let them continue to develop those explosive weapons, but not to finalize them and mass-produce them for now. All the finished products of tri-nitro-benzene-phenol, that is, picric acid explosives produced by the chemical plant, were all sent to You Fu's railway team and the quarry in Panshi County to provide them with gunpowder for blasting.
The Qitai Line Railway, which the Railway Team 1 is responsible for, has to cross mountains and ridges, build bridges and cross rivers, and dig mountain tunnels along the way. How to dig tunnels? Of course, it is to use gunpowder blasting!
Finally, there is the order to Xingang County Dali. Luo Chong said in the order that two Endeavour-type locomotives and frame components should be sent immediately by railway roll-on/roll-off ships to support the construction of the Railway Team 2 and open up the Tangpan Line Railway.
In addition, other road construction tools, building materials, and accessories, as many as you can take, all sent over, such as narrow-gauge rails, railroad spikes, gaskets, hammers and other road construction items.
Rails and railroad spikes were produced in large quantities before, and there are plenty in the warehouse. Just adjust as many as you want. Sleepers and the like can be obtained nearby, and they will be provided by the wood processing plants and shipyards in Takumi County and Tangcheng County.
As for the locomotives, even if there are no new ones now, pull two from the mine first.
Especially for the two large mines in Xingang County and Dongxin County, there are several trains in the mines. It is no problem to transfer two locomotives. As for the gap in the mines, let Xingang County produce them again.
Finally, a batch of steam-powered tools will be transferred over, including water pumps, air compressors, air guns, air hammers, air screwdrivers, steam table saws, and pneumatic chain saws. Some of them will be sent to Youfu to help him dig tunnels, and the other part will be distributed to the quarry to help them mine marble, cut stone bricks, stone columns and other stones.
Of course, the South has newly added so many trains and steam engines, so fuel cannot be left behind. So Luo Chong asked Jing Yan of Dongxin County to transfer a few ships of coal mines.
As for the coal mines needed by Youfu, this is easy to handle. They have coal mines themselves, so let them dig them themselves. Anyway, they have excavators and forklifts, as well as tractors and trains. The coal mines over there are all shallow mines, so they can dig them however they want!
As soon as Luo Chong issued several orders, the people below immediately became busy. The entire Han tribe was like a huge and sophisticated machine, which quickly started to operate under Luo Chong's command.
However, after thinking for a long time, he suddenly found that there was still one thing that had not been solved, that is, the craftsmen that You Zhi asked him for.
The imperial palace in the capital city was carved with beams and painted buildings, many wooden doors and windows, and even railings and
stone pillars. These things also required a large number of carving craftsmen. How to solve these craftsmen? Luo Chong thought for a long time and felt that the most reliable person for this thing should be a carpenter. In the entire Han tribe, only carpenters were good at carving technology. Of course, the lathe workers in Xingang County also counted, but they carved metal, and it was too much to get these senior technicians to carve stones.
After thinking about it, Luo Chong still ordered She Xin from Liuyang County and Hanyang County to transfer a group of craftsmen who were good at carving technology from the shipyard and wood processing plant. There were not many people, only a few dozen people in total, but this was enough.
At most, some apprentice craftsmen could be transferred from the south to let them learn while working.
He just didn't believe it. With a population of hundreds of thousands, how could the Han tribe not be able to build a palace?!
