The voucher issued through the South China Sea Bank, the Liang Luo Military Group headed by Lin Ziran was raised a large number of funds for expansion of preparations.
In the past six months, the South Navy of Lin Ziran went to Luohai County from the south of Luo'an County. This war had spent a lot of money. After winning Luohai County, although Lin Ziran had controlled the two Luo regions at that time, the fiscal revenue was obtained.
Grow up significantly.
However, these increased fiscal revenue is still not enough to expand the army to prepare for war.
So far, including two guardians, the total strength of the South Navy of Lin Ziran's South Navy has exceeded 150,000.
Compared with the previous Liluo regions in Liluo, these troops are not much, but Lin Ziran adopts the policy of elite soldiers.
Instead of arrears of the salary of the soldiers, he even subsidizes the food of the soldiers, while conducting more frequent real -bombs training, and these are all needed money, and it is a large price.
At the same time, in the past year, Lin Ziran's troops have been loading guns after large -scale replacement. This expenses are even larger.
Even if it controls the three major arsenal factories of the Luoan arsenal, the Fuyuan Military Wealth Factory, and the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, your own purchase of European weapons can be used to use cheaper, only procurement than a slightly cost -effective price, but the purchase cost of weapons is still very high.
On the one hand, concentrated in a short period of time, and the number is huge.
On the other hand, because the price of rear weapons is more expensive and the technology is improved, it is more difficult to produce production and cause the purchase price of the rear -loading weapon to be more expensive than the previous smoothbore weapons.
At present, the South Navy purchases a Ronaldo -type rear -loading rifle. The purchase price is 28 Hengyuan. This price is almost a cost price. The arsenal does not leave much profit.
As a comparison, the expelive price of the early Fuyuan musket globe was generally only about twenty, and the price of the Fuyuan Military Inspection Factory still had a lot of profits.
In the past three months, the South Navy has purchased a total of 40,000 Ronaldo rifles, with an expenditure of more than one million constant dollars.
The price of artillery is more expensive. At present, the 75 millimeters of the 75 millimeters of the tube of the South Navy is loaded with a field war gun with the largest tube. The purchase price has reached 2,300 Hengyuan.
The 150 millimeters of rear grenade cannon is more expensive, and the one hundred millimeters of cannons is more expensive.
These steel rear loading cannons are easy to use, but they are also expensive.
At present, the South Navy's procurement is equipped with nearly 300 models of rear artillery. It costs only more than 8 million Hengyuan in the artillery.
In fact, the above -mentioned rear muskets and artillery investment are still good, because many of these are one -time investment, and the greater investment is actually consumables such as bullets and shells.
A one hundred and fifty millimeters of grenades will get 180 yuan.
A seventy -five millimeter grenade also got twenty yuan.
If the bullet, each thousand -round metal bullets need about one hundred constant dollars.
These cannonballs and bullets are consumed every time during the battle.
Just in the previous Battle of Chongguang City, the South Navy has played a shell worth three million Hengyuan!
Even when there was no war before, in order to allow the troops to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the South Navy also frequently conducted real bomb training. The ammunition used for training was huge.
And fighting, the place to spend money is not only guns and ammunition, but also salary, food, horses, etc.
After adding up, military expenditure is a very scary number.
Even with the fiscal revenue of the Liang Luo region, it is difficult to support such a large -scale military expenditure.
How did those towns in the past maintain military expenditure?
They arrears salary, increased taxes, and borrowed at the same time.
And Lin Ziran, but in turn!
The salary of the soldiers never owe the general, not only does it not increase taxes, but it has carried out a certain degree of tax reduction. As for the loan, he wants to borrow it, but no one borrows it to him ...
Although Lin Ziran also has additional income from kerosene, it can provide a large amount of money every year, which reduces fiscal pressure.
But even so, Lin Ziran did not have enough funds to maintain huge military expenditure expenses. This was the idea of hitting the mind.
The benefits of banknotes are very obvious. The gold coin of the one -fifth point of Hengyuan can be issued 1.5 or more Hengyuan or more banknotes.
Otherwise, Lin Ziran will not try to issue banknotes. When the official credit is not enough, it is better to use the name of Nanhai Bank to circulate vouchers in the name of Nanhai Bank.
After many methods, the gap in this military expenses is finally supplemented, but it cannot be maintained for too long.
Therefore, the war on the side of Guang'an County must be resolved as soon as possible.
Lin Ziran was unwilling to drag his army in Guang'an County. Drag a day to spend a day.
This situation is also reflected in the front line.
As the second division and two cavalry brigades of the Beishang striker troops, they went north to the north, and all the way Shanghai caught up with several Guang'an Army who had not retreating in time, and defeated thousands of enemy forces.
But today in Shi Changzhen, the Second Dragon Cavalry Corps under the first cavalry brigade has encountered a special enemy forces.
They are the cavalry of Hexi County!
The Second Dragon Cavalry Regiment has just arrived in Shi Changzhen for only three hours. The surveyed cavalry is an emergency report. It is said that the large stock West Cavalry was found in the west. The number was not less than 500.
"Hexi Cavalry? They are here fast!" The head of Deng Zhicheng, the head of the Second Dragon Cavalry Regiment, did not hesitate, and soon issued a series of orders.
"Immediately dispatched a biography to notify the brigade department!"
"Chuan Ling's detailed investigation of the enemy forces on the west and find their main force!"
Doctor Deng Zhicheng did not think that the Hexi cavalry had only more than 500 people.
Since Hexi people appear here, it is naturally impossible for them to only be more than 500 riders. If there are not thousands of or even tens of thousands of Western Army in the back, Deng Zhicheng dares to sprinkle his own urine and drowns himself.
The problem now is where the main force of the enemy forces is, where is their marching route and goals.
After the Second Dragon Cavalry Corps discovered the trace of the Hexi cavalry, he did not continue to go north. Instead, he was ready to temporarily rest in Shi Changzhen, and at the same time sent a large number of news about the investigation of the Hexi cavalry.
It doesn't take long for the afternoon of that day, Deng Zhicheng has received the news of the investigation cyclical return.
The investigation report, the five hundred cavalry of the enemy forces is indeed a forward, and there are a large number of main forces in the rear, at least 10,000 people.
And there is also a worry that Deng Zhicheng is a little worried that in the tens of thousands of West Army, it turned out to be a clear cavalry force, and there was no infantry at all.
Even the artillery is also a rocker. The heavy heavy troops with a large number of horses.
Although their marching speed today is not fast, it does not mean that they are not fast enough. In fact, once necessary, these Hexi cavalry can perform a large range of fast maneuverability in a short period of time.
This is not a good thing!
At the same time, he also received orders from the Ministry of Travel. The order of the Ministry of Travel was very simple, allowing him to continue to monitor the enemy forces, but do not rash contact with the enemy and even fight.
At the same time, more commanders have rushed from the first cavalry brigade to the second division, the second cavalry brigade, and even the first division of the first division.
